SECOND CHANCES NET

Not having my original manuscripts is making this next book tricky. Without a way to reference past events to ensure continuity, I may need to put everything on hold and attempt the start of a new series. Still mystery, however. Who doesn't love a good mystery?

While I brainstorm ideas for a new story, Thing is curious to know if anyone has any Halloween costume ideas for him. He says he's tempted to try a new polish for the occasion but that he would much prefer to get into the spirit with something more this year. Should anyone have suggestions, I'll be sure to pass them along. And he's already thought of disembodied hand in a candy bowl, as a note.

I have to say, while it's been an adjustment, at least this is better than living in a flea-infested motel in the middle of nowhere.

That and it's Pumpin Spice Latte season, finally. I'll call that a win-win.

Since Dobby doesn't have anyone to serve here, Dobby is going to start making some socks for the upcoming winter months. Would anyone else like some?

I need to get laid and I don't know who's who around here and available for that. Help a lady out.

[Filtered to 21+ crowd]

Anyone have some good suggestions for a bar I can hit up where I might be able to meet someone? Trying to avoid randos, but I'm new here, so I'm sure that's just inevitable and unavoidable.

So, okay. I know I'm catching on some decades still but I will never be over seeing things that I definitely used every day back home under things like retro or antique.

Pagers were just another line of communication when you were already on your phone. Missing an important message or, worse, a party invite was so not cool.

Tonight Only at Edge of Glory!

Britneys get 1/2 all shots!

Not named Britney? That's too bad.

Unless, of course, you come in your favorite Britney costume. Free shots for creativity and flare!

PLEASE no live animals (including boa constrictors). Thanks!

We've been having SO much fun at Edge of Glory's PRIDE weekends! If you're able, you've got one more weekend to come join us. We're heading into the 2000s and if you think I'm not singing the BEST version of Wrecking Ball ever, you're so super wrong.

I thought I'd search for 'popular' vampire movies and came across one called Twilight. Why does he sparkle in the sun and not burn? I did look up why. No offense to anyone that likes this movie, but I did not. Is this what they've done to vampires in cinema? I'm not saying it's a bad thing to "humanize" them some, not all are the monsters they're made out to be, but the story wasn't a good one and certainly not the best acting. I can see how it would appeal to some though. Anyone have recommendations for 'good' vampire movies?

Oh my god. I'm a genius.

Where are you right now??

Hello, my name is Louis. I'm not sure what I'm doing here or exactly how I got here. I was given a phone, computer, some money then dropped off here where I'm to live. This is strange. I would blame some I know, but for some reason I don't think they had anything to do with this.

Damn, I missed dragons?

So, before anyone asks, whoever put the green food coloring in all the vodka bottles at the club yesterday is fired.

Also, we are apparently extending St. Patrick's day into the weekend. Special on green vodka shots.

You know how you keep waiting to introduce yourself on a social media club and you keep putting it off and putting it off and putting it off and then surprise, people's powers are apparently swapping, which makes it awkward to say hi because you don't have your own powers and you assume that the middle of your forehead headache is just from eye strain because everything has been fuzzy and you keep wondering how awkward it would be to just do a general call for 'hey anyone have glasses I can borrow?' but that's not really why you've been having those headaches?

( gif cut )

That said, how long do these things last as I could use some glasses in the meantime.

Other than that...

Hi. I'm new-ish. You can call me Ben R considering previous resident Bens. I'm still getting used to the... very kumbahyah hugs and friendly atmosphere as my universe is just a lot of worst assumptions and punch first and ask questions later, but.... if the designation of 616 rings any bells, raise your hands.

Also, uh, just... sleep help would be good. Or sleep help where you... stay in your body would be... really really good... I've had enough out of body experiences that I really really really don't need more.

I'm without my magic. It's a strange feeling. I can't say I feel that different all around, but there is a slight off feeling. I miss it. Now I just have Quentin cast the cleaning spells and such. I hope this ends soon. Very soon.

So I don't think it's so much that we're getting new powers, I think our powers are being switched into someone else. Question is, is it a one-for-one kind of deal or did it all just kind of scatter?

[Family and Friends]
Okay so I mean, not that I'm freaking out or anything but... I'm not feeling the big guy right now. Like, genuinely not a part of me, can't switch over, none of the usual effects of having him around. Nothing.

And yet there's a teen girl turning green. And big.

Um. Yep.

[Jen]
Check in, Fuzzball. How's the power situation looking on your end?

Can we please have just, like, one day of just normal things?

Okay, I know we have a lot of days like that but honestly. This is totally harshing my mellow and I need to plan Spring Break things.

I still haven't found my white collarless shirt from Fred Segal, by the way. So wretched.

If we could perhaps have more days like pajamas and popcorn day, I think that would be the best gift this place could offer. Among other things, of course.

Pepper Potts-Stark & really anyone who can help

I'm looking to get a job in fashion/clothing. Not as a cashier at a shop, but something more like a fashion consultant, someone who helps others choose their wardrobe or outfits, etc. No, I don't have experience doing either, but I know my shit when it comes to fashion. If you or anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Entry level or whatever.

What the ever loving...

This is not happening. No.

Absolutely not.

Sam, are you still here?
