Second Chances: the Network

Thank you, magical place, for giving me my truck. I no longer have to deal with public transportation or walking.

OOC Notes:

• Forward dated to 5 April / Running on UTC/Aussie time
  
• This kicks off the Star Trek Plot
  
• For background on Pike's leadership style, watch him take command of the U.S.S. Discovery

Stardate 202504.05 (Earth relative), shortly after the arrival

Public announcement on the U.S.S. Enterprise / Public Network Post:

Attention, all personnel. This is Captain Christopher Pike. We find ourselves in a unique situation here. We’ve encountered some sort of anomaly. Roughly half of the crew of the Enterprise have disappeared. Simultaneously, residents of San Francisco have suddenly found themselves here. Let me be the first to welcome you to the U.S.S. Enterprise. I imagine everyone has a lot of questions, so let me attempt to answer them.

Ship tours will be available at 1000H, 1400H, and 1800H. (10am, 2pm, 6pm)

[Una & Ransom]

My ready room when you have a moment. Please.

Thoughts on table runners on coffee tables? Are we good, or is it too grandma?

Or. You know. Is anyone thinking about getting rid of their coffee table? I could give it a good home where it's only a little likely to end up needing a table runner.

[FILTER: HOUSEHOLD]
I might have sort of accidentally damaged the table, but it's all good. I'm on it. I'm going to fix this.

Just maybe don't touch the weird colored stain on it until I'm sure it's okay?

So, Yeah... gotta say I wasn't expecting this. Although, I can't complain about my living arrangements.

Anyway, I'm Tommy Kinard, and I'm from LA.


Locked to Evan at home

Babe, are you home?

I'm sure other people are looking forward to Spring Break but seeing as I just started school here I was hoping to skip it. Apparently even in alternate universes they don't allow that.

Hi. You had a birthday recently, right?

Don't ask how I know, I just find out these things.

Before I got tugged on over here, my daddy was gonna try and get me set up with a job somewhere to keep me outta trouble. Like... waitressing at Merlotte's diner or something.

Anybody that might need a night-shift worker, around here? I don't know how to do a lot of things but... I can learn?

There is so much cereal. I'll never have to buy it again.

This has to be some sort of weird dream.

No. Absolutely not. My standards are low but they are not cheesy romance movie low. Whoever dreamed this one up can bite me.

[ LYDIA ]
Hey there, fake-sis. You're newer, right? How are you handling, you know, all of this?

[ BUCK ]
Sorry your Prince Charming turned out to be very much neither. We should hang out sometime, though. As friends, I mean. You seem like a nice guy who does not deserve the torture of dating me.

[ Filter to: Evan Buckley & Tony Foster ]

Hi! I'm Lydia, Tony's sister. And he’s absolutely horrible for not having introduced us sooner, but I’m willing to forgive the oversight considering he’s my favorite and also only brother.

So! Tony tells me you two are getting married?? This is so exciting! I can’t wait for you to meet the family, they’re totally going to love you. And speaking of, before you meet the rest of the family, how would you feel about getting together for an afternoon or two to get in some quality sibling-in-law time?

We can get to know each other, I’ll give you the run down on everyone else in the family so you have some guaranteed talking points when you meet them. I’m sure by now Tony has filled you in on who our family is exactly, but don’t worry, some most of us are very down to earth royals. You might just need to know a few things going in, at least in terms of how we do things, just in the interest of blending in. It’s entirely for your benefit, trust me. We’ll go over some basic etiquette, which I’m sure you don’t actually need but it never hurts to brush up on these things, and anything else that comes to mind while we get to know each other better. How does that sound?

[…] Do you know how to ride a horse? Just wondering.

[FILTER: Lydia Martin]

Hey, sis, I have the biggest favor I've ever needed to ask you.

Okay, yes, it was obnoxious at the time, but is it wrong that I miss the bubblewrap?

Coping mechanism... what coping mechanism?

[cw: autocannibalism, vomit]

( FILTER: 18+ )

Great Oz I didn't mean to do this! I don't know how it happened, I didn't even touch the Grimmerie, but I can't find a way to fix it I'm so sorry I'm trying everything I can.

Okay but hear me out: artisanal soap.

Chat, drop your favorite scents and flavors in the comments.

Friday night drinks with the crew got a little out of hand.

I now have a fucking candy cane tattooed on my calf. Can anyone recommend a removal place when this thing is healed enough to do so?

Despite it being my birthday for only a few more hours, I would like to have an impromptu celebration tomorrow evening after sunset at our home. All are invited, of course. What is the phrase... the more, the merrier?

If you intend on joining us, please let me know what you would like provided for food and drinks, as I can have that arranged.

Well, I guess there really isn't any better way to start fresh than being in a whole new world. Kinda on-the-nose, though, don't you think, universe? And would it have killed you to give me a second to breathe? ...I never did answer Dawn's question.

Uh, so, vagueness abounds. Sorry about that. I'm Buffy, she-who-can't-escape-California. At least the view from my room is nice and that shower after an intense battle? Amazing.

Wow, I'm bad at this. Feels like high school all over again. Anyway, hi. ...Know any good coffee places?

[ ooc; backdated to Saturday morning like 6am ish oops ]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I just about had a heart attack WHY does this place continue to be weird?

Unless you actually commissioned a life size cheese statue of yourself Stiles and are lying about it.

Calling all Halloween fans! And afficionados of the spooky!


I've been given the go ahead by my work (Haunt Ghost Tours of SF) to make the ghost tours a little *spookier*. I'm planning to use some magice to give our customers the extra experience, but if anyone wants to help some night, just let me know.

On a different note:




HALLOWEEN PARTY

SO. Tony's hosting a last hurrah at the station on Oct 25.

Does anyone have plans for a Halloween party? How about a Halloween/new place warming on Oct 26? Enid & I are welcome to plan and if anyone wants to help, just let us know.

Folks have tossed out ideas for a full masquerade ball and/or regular costume party. What's the vibe?


[Enid]

Where are we are on Halloween parties? Do we know who's planning one? (Are we?) Do we want to hit any in town?
