Second Chances: the Network

This defies logic. The absence of a full moon should surely interrupt the transformation cycle.

Where can I run on this ship?

OOC: April 12 - The ship becomes awash in pinks. Clothes, decor, food, drink, it's weird.

Stardate 202504.12 (Earth relative)

Shipwide announcement / Public Network Post

You may have noticed that we're no longer in motion. We're at [coordinates] to investigate an energy signature that may be the key in helping us get home so we'll be sending probes out to collect data.

As to the ... other... situation. No, I do not know why my ship everything seems to be turning pink. Dr. M'Benga has assured me that it is not a problem with any of our vision, nor is the pink toxic to any of us. If you like pink, enjoy it. If you don't, we're working to restored things to normal.


Number One, Ortegas, if this is either of your attempts to restart the bridge crew prank war, now is not the time.


Added Later: Two decks (decks x & y) will be available and secure for anyone who needs them because of the moon.

Can someone explain how I fell asleep in O'ahu and woke up in space?

Seriously, who designed these uniforms? I need to talk to them.

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

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.

I'm Adam Ruzek and I arrived here not that long ago. Now that I've had a few days to settle in, what do I need to know about this place?

Today has been a productive day. Managed to get myself a job at Ocean View stables just outside the city. They do therapeutic encounters, regular lessons, rides on the beach, summer camps, and cowboy cookouts. So I'll be leading rides, teaching riding lessons, and cooking for their monthly cookouts. If you're interested in any of those, let me know, I can definitely get you a discount.


As for the cereal - managed to make several types of cereal bars (I might have bought all the marshmallows at the grocery store). Decided to use some of them to build a model of the Enterprise - my ship from home, but there's plenty extra if folks want some cereal bars.

Everyone back to themselves?

Please say yes.

[Batfam + Friends]

No really, check in for me? Even just a thumbs up would be really appreciated.

I'm ordering a bunch of food. Stop in for a minute when you get a chance.

Fuck... fuck, fuck, FUCK... What do I do, now?!

Bill's gonna kill me, for sure...
What happens when he comes back from Dallas and I'm not there?!

I won't lie...
I'm a little nosy and I've been stalking this... network thing.

This place is something, alright. At least it doesn't seem as bad as Bon Temps...

[QUENTIN COLDWATER]

Are you acting normal or did you go off the weird end, too?

Well, I'm back.

The City of lights hasn't changed too much since I've been away. Aside from the price of apartments.

I suppose I should choose a place a little more down to earth.

[CLARK KENT returns to Paris after 20 years and begins a journey of romance and rediscovery when they reconnect with MARJAN MARWANI, their college beau and first love.]

Why do I have an empty apartment?

Not being funny. I came home alone and woke up that way. It's not normal.

Hey, honest question. Why does January always feel like it's the longest month of the year? More like January 290th, ugh.

Also, who's hiring? I can mix drinks, I think I'm pretty good with fashion, I know how to plan heists (if you're legally obligated to report me for that, no you're not and you saw nothing), I have magic and great boobs. Someone's got to be looking for something I can do.

Blanket apology, but mostly to Tim, for the paper emporium the apartment has become.

That said... do you have a well-loved book you'd like to have rehabbed? Maybe a fanfic you hold close to your heart? I've got the bookbinding supplies and the creative urge, so let me hook you up with a new-to-you creation!

[Margo]

Thanks again for being cool about me freaking out at you that first day about the whole werewolf thing. You could've taken my head off, but you didn't, and I owe you several drinks for that. Or books. 😂

[cw: autocannibalism, vomit]

( FILTER: 18+ )

Okay. Alright. So... that happened.

I think you all made it out on the other side okay? Why does- Things still feel [...] weird so just try and hold it together today. Residual stuff or whatever. I don't know. This isn't how my kind of were- operates.

But I am really, really proud of you all for actually getting somewhere safe. I know that might not have been a conscious decision but take it anyway.

[ filtered; FRIENDS* ]

HOLY SHIT??

I need a date for a really fucking gay Mariah Carey themed holiday party at a club tomorrow night. Who wants to go with me?

I have a very important debate that needs settling. Please ignore that my debate opponent is 6.

BEST SEASONAL TREAT:
Little Debbie Christmas Tree Snack Cakes
OR
White fudge covered Oreos

Please discuss.

Did you order a Very Special Something for yourself or your loved one or a casual funtime pal? If so, please message me privately so I can get it to you.

In my coffee-deprived state this morning, I ripped the mailing label off the box before coming up and couldn't find it when I went back downstairs after I realized this was definitely not an unexpected holiday gift. The packing invoice was also unhelpful, but kudos to the company for maintaining the anonymity.

Regardless, whoever's this is? Have fuuuuuuun!

You ever have a nightmare so awful you wake up immediately needing several drinks? Because that's me this morning. If you need me today, I'll be at the nearest brunch spot drowning myself in Bloody Mary's and bottomless mimosas.
