Second Chances: the Network

I don't like the dungeons. What happens if someone tries to quest you and you say no? Are they okay?


[ Simon ]

Do I need your official permission or anything to get a job if I'm seventeen?

And I guess if I do, can I?

[ Dr? Mr? what the fuck is a sheph Shepherd Book ]

Hi. I'm Tobias. Simon's my guardian. He said I might like to talk to you. Therapy type stuff. Is that okay?

Everyone who’s been doing the side quests things, what’s the coolest thing you’ve seen so far?

[Filter to Bruce Banner]

so I got questions that might sound weird and might be not cool to ask, but no one really has a playbook for this. So like if they’re not ok, you don’t got to answer.

[Filter to Clint Barton and Coulson]

You guys have been here a long time yeah? Pete mentioned years of people being here. That same for you?

[Filter to Peter Parker]

Have you done any of these dungeon things yet?

Who needs therapy when there's a dungeon full of kobolds to clear out?

And y'all didn't even have to miss me.

Weird couple of days/two minutes.

[ Filter: Friends of Stiles and Lydia + Any high school / college grads

I’m throwing a graduation party for Stiles and I since he’s graduating from UC Berkeley next week and I’m graduating on June 1st. And it seems like there’s a good number of us graduating across the board in the next month so any fellow grads no matter the school are welcome to come celebrate with us too.

Saturday, May 30th in Apartment 1603. There will be gift bags.

(Enid, be my decorating buddy? I know the answer is yes so this question is really a formality.)

[Filter: Stiles Stilinski

This is your semi-regular reminder that you’re graduating on the 16th.

I was going to suggest dinner later and saw the notice.

Are you okay?

I'm trying to put together a list of the best sweets that I might be able to try here. I know I've already gone through many since arriving here, but one can never have too many sweets, right?

Also, I just started putting together a playlist of music that I've heard, songs I like, I mean. If you have a favorite song, I'd love to know it. Music is the one thing that seems the most similar between where I'm from and here, even if the singers and bands and such are unfamiliar.

Trying to find a decent place to train in this city is impossible. The fancy ones are full of people who are there to be looked at, not to do actual work, and the membership fee is astronomical. The other end of the spectrum often smells like wet dog, and I swear that one of them had mold growing in the locker room.

Then there was the goldilocks location: right cost, clean, decent amenities, but full of toxic men with BDE that thought they'd get their jollies by intimidating the short girl.

I know we have a gym here, but I was looking for somewhere that I could work on what I already know and maybe learn some stuff that I don't. Even take some classes. Does that exist, or am I looking for a unicorn?

I just came across this video where the person behind the camera asked the person on camera who the most powerful chaos god is. AND HE STARTED TO ANSWER! That's just asking for the ones not mentioned to prove themselves.

If anyone asks who the most [insert adjective here] deity is, exercise your right to remain silent! It's a trap!

(also, the only correct answer lives among us, and he knows it. 😉😇)

The hallways are rather pretty this morning, don't you think?

_{[OOC: Player's choice if interacting with the plants has any kind of interesting effect. 😈 Don't worry; it'll all be gone by the next morning.]}

First day of spring break and there are puppies in the park!

Also a new group of little Zs to entertain at the community center plus my old crew.

Well, the Imams in Saudi Arabia have finally spotted the moon, so, Eid festivities tonight at sundown in the common room! There will be dates and lots of Iraqi and Pakistani (and other middle eastern and south asian) treats. Everyone's welcome to join!

(And yes, I'm thrilled we're going by the Saudi imams instead of the Indian ones, so that I can enjoy the food at Chris & Una's wedding tomrrow)

HELLO PEOPLE OF THE....

Are we ever going to name what brings us here?

ANYWAY. It is Pi Day and, as is tradition, I may or may not (I did) splurged and bought like a thousand (36) pizzas to pass around and share with everyone. I no longer know who lives where or which apartments are us people and which ones are other people so please come by the Banner-Parker-Green apartment and grab some pizza.

And cookies. There has been baking afoot. Despite the ten thousand oreos, baking.

It's Pi day. I spent it tinkering in the lab, but now I'm bringing pizza and French silk pie home to my family to enjoy. If you haven't celebrated yet, take this as your cue to grab a pie and solve for x.

I'm going to put up some fliers, but before the Blood Moon I asked Dr. Banner if there was an astronomy club at the high school. He said there wasn't, but that we could start one! The school already has the equipment!

So... anyone interested?

So we won't be getting the eclipse until the middle of the night here but that hasn't stopped me before. If anyone wants to join us down at the high school, I've got all of the telescopes set up to view tonight's Blood Moon. Bring blankets and get comfy. I'm fairly sure I can talk the most beautiful woman I know into helping me make some snacks for everyone.

Let it be known that ✨💖Alex Mercer💖✨ has been beset by a pair of tiny pink butterfly wings, and he's making it everyone's (adorable) problem.

A little last minute, but I know people are excited about being able to fly and also Valentine's Day is this weekend, and that's a big deal.

But! Like Samirah mentioned, Ramadan starts on the 17th, but it also happens to be Mardi Gras AND the day that the Lunar New Year is being observed. So we were talking about having a Mardi Gras party, but then I had a thought on the way home today.

What if we do an international potluck to celebrate everything all at once?

I am still looking for someone who knows how to make really good gumbo and king cake, though!

It's nice to see that the weather seems to be returning to normal.

Just as an fyi to friends & family, Ramadan starts this month. So come sundown on February 17, I will be fasting from sunup to sundown. Till March 18 or 19 or so, depending on when the moonand is sighted.

I don't want this to be disruptive and please don't think you need to refrain from eating during the day around me.

As near as I can figure, counting from the solstice here, I turn sixteen today. I didn't expect to even notice it, being honest, with the way things are back home. I wish I miss

Really I guess it's just another day though, isn't it?

Back in my day, if the weather was too bad for anyone to get to work or school, it was all cancelled.

Now everything can be done online. Point for the convenience, but negative points for sitting in front of a computer all day.

I understand that people do that for a living, but that is not what my future holds.

Though, I have been learning about field medicine, and seem to have picked that up these last few weeks.

Well, it’s official, the bay is freezing over. I just had to help break ice down at the wharf.

I think emergency vehicles are still getting about, but there’s a lot of black ice about. Even the interstate looks treacherous and I definitely wouldn’t try crossing the bridge.

Let’s hope the power holds for everyone attending or teaching virtual lessons on Monday.
