Second Chances: the Network

It's kind of annoying to have to rebuy all my clothing when I get back.

But here we are again. I remember being here before, back in February, but I'm told I was here until just a few days ago.

That is missing from my memory.

Tony, do I need to send you a resume to get my job back?

This is probably the strangest thing to happen to me since the sword fight with Maximus. Which sounds perfectly normal until you find out that Maximus is a horse.

Is that... I wanna say a cat? On fire?

Right... there's some freaky thing going on with the animals here. I definitely listened to all of that.

Anywaaaay... I should probably introduce myself. I'm Eugene Flynn Rider. There's not a girl here named Rapunzel, by chance, is there?

At least I can say my jacket (pictured below) got this way decades ago, and not as a result of hopping around the city with my Poke-crew. Anyone know someone who can work with vintage leather?

I knew there was something up with those cupcakes. Unless this is something completely unrelated. If that's the case, I am not sure who to thank but 'this' happens to be... well-

I have been gifted a horse apparently. A photograph of the lovely creature was left for me this morning. Marisa, you would have- What a beauty the little thing is. How about ideas for a proper name?

While having a piece of home is a comfort, I have decidedly mixed emotions about the gift I received this morning. Especially as the gift is an integral part of said home's structure and without it I hope the building hasn't collapsed.

Despite my loneliness, I'm glad I didn't receive cardboard standees of my family.

Cher is gone.


I fucking hate this place.

Can someone come get me? [locatiom pin of a local bookshop] I'm stuck in the bathroom, and I can't keep the Horror in.

Some shelves got knocked over.

I may have hurt people.

No one's been setting off any EMPs have they? Because I may be in need of some specialized tech support.


[OOC: As part of the 'powers going wonky' plot, Phil's arm isn't working so he'll be without it for a few days, letting tech play with it.]

I don't usually support super-capitalist too-big Amazon but same-day delivery is helpful. If anyone needs flashlights, electric candles, or batteries... hit up our apartment. If someone has a generator or something, we could probably get one or two refrigerators going and combine "spoileable" foods or something. IDK how long this will go on for but I DO plan ahead on occasion.

Speaking of planning head. Jason's birthday is on the 16th. Do you want to plan or want me to and drag you along for the ride? (You can't have him all to yourself the whole day but he can have the night off.)

So this is Earth? It really exists.

Your gravity is strange, different to Caprica and Galactica.

Shame you didn’t decide to bring the whole fleet and just grabbed me, I’m not sure how useful a Viper Pilot without his Viper will be. But here I am, name’s Starbuck.

Imagine that you're dying. You don't know how long you have — minutes, at best. What are your last words, if you could choose them? (For those of you who have died — hi, same — pick something else.)

So, by my count (which, honestly, as an art major isn't my strongest suit) there are three Captain America shields here now?

Do we need to start labeling whose is whose?

Not gonna lie. Yesterday was more frustrating than the birds or the turkeys for me. Not sure what these networks were up to, but glad we're back to normal.

As normal as this gets around here.

So is everyone going to this barbecue later? Was it set up by this place or one of you guys because the last time I went to one of these things I ended up not being able to speak for a week. Not really into doing that again.

[Private to Loki]

So I said something I shouldn’t have and upset your younger variant. I hope that hasn’t had any blowback on you. Just thought I’d give you a heads up that I’m apparently not so popular with all of your variants.

[Private to Sylvie]

I’ve been meaning to say hello, but it occurs to me that I’m not sure when you’re from. So, yeah, do you know me?

Happiest of birthdays to one of my dads!!

Today should be a good day. What is everyone doing besides the BBQ later? I think I want to go for a walk at the water if anyone would like to join me.

[ filtered; family (incl extended) ]

We should have a party that is just for Steve so he does not have to share his day.

What would YOU like to do? You know who you are.

So, King wants to keep the aliens. Or become their ruler. It could go either way.

Who's got what 4th plans?

What are your feelings on fireworks?

So, it's that time of year again, Kids.

Who wants me to help celebrate my best friend's big day?

Bonus if you can convince his husband to pop out of a cake.

I patrolled through the night and early morning. No signs of the birds. I believe we are through the worst of it.

Are the birds still attacking? I’m feeling rather cooped up and I promised a certain someone a date.

Maybe we could make a run for it? Dinner and ugh dancing just isn’t the same at home.

[Private to Jen]

Please don’t tell him I said anything, but has Loki been acting strangely at all? I’m a little worried about him.

Helloooo fellow bird haters*
*Just these evil ones!

Luz is turning the celebration worthy age of 18 on the 20th! 🎁 🎂 🎈 And I reaaaally wanted to make a party happen for her on the day but my spidey senses I borrowed from Petey Pie are tingling and I couldn't help but think WHAT IF THE BIRDS ARE STILL BIRDING?

Besides, Saturdays make way better party days.

So. Saturday. Baker Beach. 4pm until whenever. Please bring your beautiful selves and amazing presents to adorn the birthday girl with. I've got all the decorations and drinks and stuff covered.

Hey Reeeeeginald can I count on you and your posse for the most amazing playlist ever? You totally don't need to play unless you want to of course LOL 😛

Be there OR BE SQUARE or don't it's fine but it will be fun so definitely come!

I am manifesting good thoughts and things will be back to normal by then!!!

You are forbidden from having plans on Saturday. 🏖️

That is all!
