Second Chances: the Network

Alright folks, seems like we need a sitrep.

Did anyone else feel anything weird this morning? Do we know how many folks are arfected or what caused it?

[Matt]

Well, at least we have the day off to deal with this?

Finally got some ramen, took a while to like again after having it turned strawberry. I think I'm safe now though.

[Barry]
Feel like going to Steve's movie night with me next week?

[Caitlin]
Settling in okay?

[Dr. Strange]
Hi. I was told to reach out to you about portals? Been having a bit of frustrating difficulty with mine and headaches.

[Voice message]

"Apparently finding myself in a strange new world with a gunshot wound means having a lot of new friends, very quickly. I would say I'm going mad, but I know I'm not, despite evidence to the contrary.

I was given the rundown of where I am and when I am, and I was told there might be some people here that I know? This gāisǐ de gǔlǎo zhuāngzhì is-"

[End voice message]

So this is new… did I just get sucked into some different universe? What am I gonna have to fight off this time?

...not quite the adventure I was lookin' for. Wee bit confusing, even if the digs be nice.

Name's Hook. Seem to have taken a very wrong turn and end up here.

Guess what!

Gar Logan is officially a college student! 🥳

I never really thought of myself as a college-going person but ya know. Since I'm here, might as well give it a shot, right?

Time to party, I guess?

I scared my guardian off.

I don't know how I feel about this. Am I really supposed to be fine with this magical kidnapping?

I sort of miss the everything is strawberry day.

There are some things that should never taste like strawberries. Lasagna, for example. But in general, it wasn't too bad. I happen to like strawberry as a flavor, though.

Definitely preferring that sort of magical nonsense to, say, shrinking people down to mini size? Literally what is the point of that. I don't need to be worried about animals in the apartment making chew toys out of my roommates.

Hi. Since school's out now I was thinking of taking Prada to the beach tomorrow and remembered you saying you haven't been to one in a long time. Want to go?

Can I borrow your jeep?

I'm just going to say it: this place needs to stop screwing with the werewolves specifically. The full moons need to be off-limits. And I'm not even sorry that it sounds selfish but it's dangerous.

Last night was WEIRD and I don't even remember much, like usual.

[ filtered; Jason Todd ]

You okay? I'm sorry I apparently didn't make it out of the building...

2027? That's... 41 years.

I was told I should introduce myself on here? I'm Will. This is a lot different from 1986.

Sorry, this is a lot and I'm not sure what else to say right now. I just need to go home Is there really no way to go back home?

[Jennifer Walters]

Hi, Miss Walters - I'm sorry if miss isn't right, but I didn't want to assume anything. They said I'll be staying with you while I'm here. I'll try my best not to bother you much.

Edited after a few minutes

Are there still arcades and D&D in the future?

Added a bit later

Why does everything taste like strawberries?

[Filter: Band]

I was thinking we could write a song (songs) for the people who got sent back. Just so people still have something to remember them by.

I wish I could do more for them but I don't really know what else I've got.

[Filter: Yelena]

Русский – это сложно. Но я тренировался. Как у меня получилось?

[Filter: Lydia Martin]

Free tomorrow? I keep my nails short for playing but I thought it would be fun to get a manicure.

To: Stiles Stilinski

» I’m still here
» Just went out for a walk with Prada
» Do they always do that? Take people away like that with no warning?
» By the way you’re out of energy drinks
» I don’t support them but I’ll still get you some

To: Tony Foster

» Are you free for coffee tomorrow?

Is this a normal thing to have a bunch of people disappear after a weird event has taken place?

Okay what in the Time Warp Dance is happening right now. That was deeply unpleasant. Central City doesn't even appear to be on my coordinates list anymore...

Well.

That was for sure a thing that happened.

Great way to wake up, too. [...] I don't think we can blame this on the fairies.

[video: River, in a fairy costume, dancing with a small girl wearing a Halloween costume princess dress and fairy wings; they're both laughing and River picks the little girl up to twirl her in the air before setting her back on her feet]

This is my favorite anomaly. So far. I like my wings.

In strange ways, this faire reminds me quite a lot of Munchkinland, despite being entirely different. The magic of this place has deemed that I should be a bookseller, so I suppose if you're needing something to read in the evenings or to help pass the time, we have plenty of offerings available.

And honestly, selling books? I think I'm fairly good at it. Maybe I should look into working at a bookshop when things get back to normal.

Yooooo this so cool for real! Where is everyone? Apparently I'm a sword... eater? dancer? performer? Whatever, this is sick!

If you have a show or run a booth of some sort, hit me up! I wanna see what everyone is doing.

Only downside? Tiger is... gone? I dunno I can't transform anymore, which is wigging me out a little. But I'm okay.

Seriously? I've been abducted again... Are we really supposed to pretend like everything is fine and live out our lives?
