Second Chances: the Network

It is my creation day. I understand my existence baffles some, but I am entirely grateful to Tony, Bruce, and Thor for their part in giving me life. I do not take any day for granted, especially with Wanda and Billy, but today I'm especially happy.

Tomorrow is the last day of Passover. I know that a lot of us struggling right now, but in times like these, coming together can be important.

While it might not be a traditional seder, I do have lots of food for the evening, and would like to invite anyone whoever Is interested over for the seder meal. I [probably won't go through all fifteen steps, but we will have the traditional food, including matzah, maror, charoset, karpas, zeroah, beitzah, matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, and brisket. There will be also be saltwater and wine, as in tradition, though I do have other drinks, as well.

Even if you don't want to stay for the meal itself, I would be happy to make plates for anyone interested.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you need me. I can see where it might be a little painful right now, but you're welcome over anytime that you would like.

[[forward dated to tomorrow, look, i have 5 characters to deal with and I don't want to murder you all]]
[Wanda]
I promise not to create a deadly witch obstacle course if you promise not to enslave a bunch of people and go on a murder spree.

[Vision]
I'm not going to school today. I assume that's to be expected.

[Luz & Diana]
I'm super not okay, before you ask, but thanks for checking in, etc. This is me getting ahead to let you know I'm not intentionally being bitchy at you. Just in case.

I like bamboo shoots as much as the next guy but this craving is ridiculous. The little old couple working the Chinese takeout (why is it always a little old couple?) looked at me funny when I asked for extra-extra-extra bamboo and I didn't even know how to explain it?! Extra carrots maybe, extra broccoli sure, but extra bamboo?

Is this a This Place thing? I feel like this is a This Place thing because even as a Certified Emo (circa 2009), this is a weird amount of black and white.

[[ooc: backdated to yesterday because no one acknowledged Barbie Day and I forgot AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT]]

I don't know why the entire city is stepping on my territory, but at least it's pretty!!! Remember, friends, pink is for everyone! Pastels for some, neon for others, a nice muted mauve as needed.

You know what, half off all Pink Starburst shots tonight at the club.

[Dad, Billy, Stiles, Bruce]

I hate valentines day. I know its like... I want to be really romantic with Molly, you know? But there is also a lot of pressure to be romantic and then I always get weird and worried about messing it up. You know?

And I don't know how to fix it. And I don't ever know what to do, you know?

[Molly]

Hey. So. Valentines Day is coming up. And I want to do something with you.

Do you have anything in mind that you want to do?

I know anything goes in this place, but I wonder if I'm capable of sprouting wings.

[FILTER: Wanda Maximoff, Tommy Maximoff, Billy Kaplan-Maximoff]

Wanda, my darling, how do you wish to celebrate your birth?

If you want to be humbled, walk two streets over to that coffee place that roasts their own blend, pick up a large to-go cup and a two bags of said blend, and then slip on ice while crossing the street, dumping your recent order all over yourself.

The police officer that saw it happen did at least help me up, but not before he had a good laugh at my expense.

So. Birthday at the end of the month. 14 is not as exciting as 13, but we'll make it a banger.

[Billy]

Wait... do you celebrate your birthday or other Billy's birthday.

Fuck sake you people are so loud
Okay maybe that's just me but still

Hey. So um. Hi. I'm William. You can call me Billy, I guess that's how some of you already know me. I showed up super hungry and they gave me a ton of money so I guess $20 of that is going to dumplings. And then I guess I get to figure the rest of my life out so that's weird.

I'm actually not even sure you're all real

[Maximoffs]
I guess I'm living with you guys. I barely even remem Are you really my How are you even alive

[Tommy]
I know you're here, I can feel you.

Also because the government people said you were but mostly the first thing.

I know this is weird. But it really is me.

Luz's upcoming art show has given me an idea, but I need some volunteers.

I'm looking for 5-6 people willing to let me follow them discretely at night and take candids. I've never been one for portraiture, but I like capturing people in their unexpected moments.

Trust me, you won't even know I was there.

And I promise I won't use anything embarrassing or compromising.

_{[OOC: let's all pretend this was posted tonight]}

How is everyone? I understand the holidays can be hard for some humans.

[FILTER: Wanda]

How do you feel about Tommy asking to "learn to hit"?

I want him to be able to defend himself, but I want him to remember to rely on his mind as well.

Hey, now that things are a little chill again now, I need someone who is good at hitting to teach me how to be good at hitting.

Thanks.

Fuuuuuuck
There isn't enough alcohol in the world

Anyone got any tips and tricks for insomnia?

Margo
Busy this weekend?

Bat-Family
The Batmobile is here.

So ....


Molly and I went to get ice cream as a date like we usually do and we were waiting at the bus stop to take the bus home again like we usually do and then some guy come up to us and he was like "I found two of them" and like we were the only two people at the bus stop so I think he was talking about us but I have no idea who he is but he seemed to know who me and Molly are and that was not cool but he wasn't very friendly and he was talking to other people, but I didn't see them and I didn't want to get into a fight or let Molly get into a fight so I grabbed her and I ran as fast as I could but they have these traps for fast runners and it was like a trip wire or something and it knocked me off balance and I feel real hard and my arm really hurts and there is probably more of them throughout the city and I couldn't really pick up Molly anymore so we couldn't run but they were still looking for us so we tried to go around the long way and get back to the building but we got outside of the city and now we can't get back into the city and we don't really have any money for a hotel or nothing and I also don't know if hotels will let teenagers buy rooms

Has anyone actually talked to those keeping those roadblocks in place? Have they given any reason behind it? Or who's responsible? I'm having hunted-by-the-government related flashbacks and I don't exactly love it

We've got kids separated here, that can't be okay with anyone, right?

This is a new sort of new. Wasn't quite expecting this, but guessing no one does.

What the kriff- Name's Poe. Got the rundown and a key. Guess this will teach me to have a moment of wanting a vacation. My wish got twisted when granted or something.

I can't say this is what I was expecting today.

Apparently, I'm going to be here for awhile, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Wanda Maximoff. I was told that this world is very similar to my own, and that there are people here who might know me.

[Filtered to Vision and Tommy Maximoff]

...I was told that you both are here.

OKAY SO. It's the end of September and I have to pull myself back together so you know what that means!

GIANT HALLOWEEN BASH! Edge of Glory will be hosting, costumes OBVIOUSLY encouraged. Go as wild as you want but important bits must be covered because I love you all but I'm not losing my liquor license for you. There will be prizes for some categories (think best group, spookiest, funniest, best mashup, coupl ah fuck it cutest couple, and probably more as I think about them).

Family friendly till 8, 18+ after that (and shouldn't you smol people be Trick or Treating anyway?)

Drink specials all night long and we'll be open till 2am. Halloween is on a Friday this year and we're going BIG so go practice your best Thriller and I'll see everyone there!

If anyone hears a smoke alarm going off on the 17th floor, ignore it. I've just removed the batteries and the offending pot of water and it won't be going off again anytime soon.

Eleven
I'm going to the store. Is there anything specific you like to eat or drink? Bonus points if it's something microwavable, but I'll figure something out if it's not.

Bat-Fam & SOs & Guardians & Wards & Eleven & also Clark
I'm ordering takeaway Saturday night and you're all invited over. You'll have the chance to meet Eleven, who's only recently arrived. Eleven, you'll get to meet everyone else.

Note that I said I'm ordering takeaway, so I will entertain zero comments about my cooking skills. Or any about the aforementioned smoke alarm.

Also, if there are any food allergies or aversions I don't already know about, speak up about it now.

And I am certainly not Alfred, but I'll make sure there are cookies.

Kaylee Frye
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're an automechanic, right? I heard something about you owning a garage.
