SECOND CHANCES NET

List of things under consideration that are currently more important than this paper I’m supposed to be writing:

• Roey doesn’t enjoy flying
  
• Neither does Void
  
• This could be a pattern; as yet unverified
  
• Never tell someone born pre-90s that Muse is old
  
• Kitty should not check the cupboard for that mug she always uses until tomorrow - it’s absolutely still there and did not get broken
  
• There is no way I could ever be a lawyer
  
• I have to add a ranking system for ghosts now, because the bestiary obviously needs a more complicated index than it already has.
  

Pretty sure I'm for real banned from the coffee shop now.

No one was hurt, but there was an incident on the sidewalk with the bag of whole beans I was holding. They got the fire out pretty fast. No property damage to speak of, just some charred concrete. The police came by, but they ruled it an accident. Something with the packaging. Funny, the things people will come up with.

Things I don't like:

1. Being questioned by the Men in Black.
2. Waking up in strange places with no idea of how I got there.
3. Clowns

Things I do like:

1. Orange soda
2. My newly developed telekinesis. This is gonna make a lot of things so much easier.
3. The fact that the internet is forever, and we'll have proof of Eliot Spencer speaking and writing in rhyme for all of posterity.

The security around this place, the fire wall, all of it? Chef's kiss. Serious kudos to whoever built it and promises not to mess with your work, from one artist to another.

One of the most stressful things on TV is watching a baker's buttercream or mousse split, and there's no saving it. This is supposed to be downtime, and relaxing, but I'm tense watching a baking show.

Before you say anything, Yelena, I know I'm boring. It's fine. I'm embracing it. 😉🖤

At least I don't watch things like this and think I could do it. I'll leave the baking to the professionals.

[Private to James Rogers and Rapunzel]

Can I take you to dinner? Anywhere you'd like to go.

There's nothing wrong. I'd just like to spend time with you both.

[Private to Bucky Barnes]

Do you want to go to the drive-in this weekend?

So coming from Texas to here... where's the best place to get my assorted wild meats? I've only been here for a few days but I haven't seen anything that looks that great. This pizza is for the birds.

And also... what is this nonsense y'all put on a bagel?

Hi, from sunny Bermuda... where it's currently nap time!

( Cut to Save Mobile, but Still Publicly Viewable )

Man, my hair has gotten crazy long! When did that happen?


(The "tattoos" are drawn on, Phil, promise. I haven't lost my mind. Yet.)

[Voice Message, unfiltered (sorry, boys)]

[feedback whine] It's Steve. If you... don't know... it's Ma... [long burst of static] ...warehouse... [another long moment of static] ...find him... node 361-a. [sound of Steve breathing quietly] ...knows I'm here... Vision, you have to stop him [garbled static, a sudden burst of sound, not unlike something heavy colliding with concrete, a few more seconds of static, then silence]

Audio Transcript

It's Steve. If you don't know, it's May. Warehouse. Find him. Node 361. A. Knows I'm here. Vision. You have to stop him.


( What Steve Actually Said )

_{[OOC: Steve won't be replying, but feel free to use this space to plot/plan!]}

Well damn, this ain't San Angeles. Goddamn that place was fucking annoying! People too mellow, nice, uptight, and "what's your boggle" bullshit. But no matter, Simon Phoenix is here to PLAY!

And I'm fucking rich? Hot damn, and didn't even need to rob a motherfucker to get it. Shiiiit, home dog! Must have done something GOOD in a previous life! No idea what it was. Anyone seen a John Spartan? Tell him I'm fucking waiting.

Daaaaaad. My nose is runny and it won't stop. Please bring provisions.

Respectfully, the government agents could really use some lessons in presenting dossiers. Not a single one of them turned slowly in a chair or sat in shadows waiting for me to enter. Nick Fury would never be so undramatic.

Anyway.

Hi. I'm Kamala. I'm 16. I can't drive, but I'm working on it! NOT CURRENTLY! I'm the passenger and am absolutely not texting and driving. How irresponsible would that be?

Yesterday was so fun.

After stopping in my favorite local coffee place, I took what was supposed to be a quick call, and instead turned the whole place into an echo chamber as every single piece of machinery, equipment, furniture, and fixture in the place relayed every single word I said to the whole shop.

Looks like I'm in the market for a new spot to get my fix.

I swear if this magic was a person, I'd put it over my knee. Somehow, I'm stuck with a trail of glitter everywhere I go!

So that is at least two people who are asleep. We need a head count. We also need to figure out what was happening right before people fell asleep.

Size doesn't seem to matter in regards to "distance", in case anyone was wondering. I had to test the theory to see if there was any relative changes due to mass/space but nope. Just straight distance.

[ HOPE ]

Hi. I need advice.

So, I admit it’s been a long time since I celebrated Christmas. I mean, I assume I celebrated Christmas before, since I had kids, but it’s nothing I remember. What I didn’t think was that a) Santa was a real guy and b) that he would bother to get me anything after the likely millennia I’ve been away. Not that I don’t appreciate my old copy of jet ski magazine and a pack of Kablooie, but, I’m not sure how I feel about having these again. But, is it wrong to complain? I wouldn’t have minded an updated copy of the magazine. Or, I don’t know, maybe an actual jet ski?

That’s probably asking too much, right?

So, I didn't mean to disappear again

I do that a lot. I know. BUT, the point is, I'm back.

No one is getting attacked by elves this year, are they? Giant Santas? Anything?

[FILTER: Ages 18 to 21]

I vote we use these snow globes to go somewhere for spring break.

[FILTER: Scott & Hope]

You don't mind if I use my snow globe to go somewhere with my friends, do you? You two deserve a romantic getaway anyway.

Oh. Here again. And not that long gone.

Brother, Jennifer, friends, I am sorry to have worried you.

Has anyone seen Loki? We were supposed to meet for breakfast, but he didn't show. He is not answering any of my calls either. It is not like him to ghost me.

Looks like I missed all of the excitement.

Has anyone seen Kamala? I need to talk to her.

[Viktor]

Hey. I'm guessing I was gone a couple of days. I'm sorry.

[Stephen]

We need to talk.
