Second Chances: the Network

[REBELS]
We ought to get out and do something, once this rain is over. I'm not certain what yet, but... I think we could all stand to find a little good trouble.

This non-stop rain is getting a little tiresome. What is this? Seattle?

The tails are curious and kind of fascinating but the novelty has turned into tedium. It's more a "how can I avoid transforming during my day to day activities"? Of course, I confess to trying to figure out exactly what the parameters of the transformation are.

So the rain might put a damper on any weekend plans you might be plotting. Pivot to a weekend in?

Thanks for the cupcake! 🦕🦖 You're welcome in the lab anytime.

You know, I'm a little disappointed in myself. I go to all this trouble to not fall through one of the rifts and here I am on the wrong end of one anyway. Poor showing, Felix.

This one seems more welcoming than I'd expected, though, so I suppose: hello, everyone, I appear to have joined the ranks of the rift-displaced. Felix Alexios, formerly of Tevinter although I imagine that means very little to anyone here. This world is very different than the one I'm used to. Much bigger buildings. Much more electricity in nice, contained places rather than being thrown around on the battlefield. I can't say I disapprove entirely.

The fellows in charge indicated there might be some people I could talk to here about medical matters. Given the vastly different technology levels, I'm sure there are options here I'm not aware of. I'd appreciate a conversation with the relevant people (healers? They said something about doctors?). At your convenience, of course, but sooner rather than later.

I didn't realize how much shorter two days less would make a month feel. I can't believe this one's already almost over.

I've been thinking about that diner we ate at the night neither of us could sleep. Do you want to go back?

So, I'm not sure if folks have their spring breaks planned out already or not, but the museum has given me a grant to go on a dig and have said I'm allowed to take students with me. I'll be there for close to two weeks - around March 23 to April 3.

UC Berkeley & Stanford have spring break the first week and the high school is off the second week. Folks are welcome to stay as long as they want during that time. I'll also need chaperones, so adults, if you want to come, we can make it happen.

As for sites, currently debating between Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. Should have that finalized in a week or two.

Anyone interested?

Upside to not sleeping: you can do the night shift at the 24 hour diner and not fall asleep in class the next day. And people are being weirdly chill about the wings thing.

[ooc: Left inside Jyn's apartment on the kitchen counter is a pot of blue and white African violets with a note attached: ]

You said you liked the colors.

Today was my first day of this world's schooling, and I can't say I'm particularly impressed. It's very very different from my studies back on Alderaan, especially because I haven't been attending a formal school for several years. I'm trying to be positive about the experience, but the classes I'm taking aren't really applicable to me at all. I was able to sign up for a language class, though, and I'm looking forward to that the most.

Also, can someone explain to me what pickle ball is? It's my physical education requirement, but I thought pickles were those soured green vegetables that come in a jar at the market?

This is the kriffing worse. I can manage in the fog, but the ice? Yeah, no. I ate ground a little more than I wanted.

Is this normal weather here? I hate ice planets. I don't like being cold.

I found something when I was exploring the city. A garden, maybe someone's private garden? But it wasn't attached to a house, so I'm not sure. Anyway, you all ought to come see it, I remember how to get back to it and it's a nice spot. Worth checking out a few more times at least to see if it stays abandoned.

I need a drink.

[CASSIAN AND JYN]
I have a teenage Leia. I mean I'm her guardian here.

...I've never taken care of another person, outside of Finn. I know the General Leia can take care of herself. But who thought this was a good idea? She was-

This is a mind trip and no amount of training prepared me for this.

[ Filter: Jyn Erso ]

I’ve been thinking.

[ Filter: Phil Coulson ]

Say that we find one of these invaders who were lucky enough to escape arrest last month. Do we immediately turn them over to the authorities or do we want to question them ourselves first?

[ Filter: Poe Dameron ]

Let’s get that drink.

So... does school do a lot of holidays? Not that I'm complaining.

[TEAM REBELLION]

I got a kyber crystal. I mean I got it a few days ago, but I finally decided to share I got something from home. Still not sure how picking up that feather did it...

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.

Since we've had a few new arrivals, I figured it'd be worth it for me to tell folks what I do here. I run a a bit of a consulting firm, that draws on the talents of many of our residents. Consider it an unofficial loose network of superheroes, do-gooders, and vigilantes.

We keep tabs on local chatter from law enforcement and the like and help out where possible, doing what we can to help get clean up the city and make it safer.

If you have skills that you think could be useful or want to help out, feel free to let me know.

...I never thought I'd miss my stint at the Academy. At least that was more interesting than this school thing. I am not made to sit still for so many hours a day.

Also, I feel like I need to study pop culture to even get references people are making.

Overall though? This place isn't too bad.

[Cassian & Jyn]

Everything is so karking different here? But like not. I don't-

I can't sense the Empire, which is a good thing, right? It leaves me unsettled though...

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.

I'll say somethin' about this place: there's so much food I barely know where to go sometimes.

LOST.

One horrible Admiral. Answers to Thrawn.

If found, punch in the face.

...

But seriously, he isn't here, right? He is still in the Unknown Regions, not causing trouble? Ghost? Please copy.
