Second Chances: the Network

I stay up as late as I want back home, why can't I do it here? This guy sure is bossy.

[Batfam minus Dick]

What are we doing with Richard during the full moon?

Timothy and Quentin, will you be able to manage him by yourselves?

[Texts: Q ]

>> Hey, I have a friend coming over tonight.
>> He just got here.
>> Didn't want you to be surprised.


[Texts: Jason, Damien & Dick ]

>> Kon is here.
>> Not in great shape.
>> Staying in with him tonight to help him get settled.

[Texts: Kara ]

>> The government probably mentioned that Conner was going to stay with you
>> He's fine, he's in the building. He's just over here at the moment.

Who wants to check out the drive-in thing tonight?

Y'know, this is one of those times when I really wish my momentary hyperfixation had embraced more than just airplane model kits, because right about now having doll-sized furniture would be really nice.

At least my room isn't overrun with action figures like when I was a kid. But, sadly, my magic seems to be kaput.

Does anyone want to bring me a cheese puff the relative size of Saturn for me to munch on while I wait the requisite couple of hours for this to be over?

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...

What the ACTUAL hell was that?? Did I have a weird dream or was the camp attacked by real fairies? OUR BOOTH IS A MESS JFC I officially hate this

[Bird Brothers & Q]

Enid's birthday is on the 29th. What are we planning?

[L. Noceda]

Have you anything planned for Enid's birthday later this month?

I just want to thank everyone again for chipping in during our stay on the Enterprise. Ransom, Una, I, and the rest of our crew are all grateful for your assistance. Hopefully you enjoyed your time there and on Vulcan.

I have to say that getting one of my horses from home Whiskey was a very nice "welcome back to SF" present and almost made up for having to leave my ship.

[Adaine, Fig, Una]

Adaine & Fig, Una & I are going out of town next weekend (Fri-Sun). We won't be too far and can come back if need be, but otherwise, you two will have the apartment to yourself. Don't totally trash the place? ;) I'll leave plenty of food and snacks in the fridge - and you can order delivery too if you want.

[Kaylee]

So, your engineering skills were impressive enough to earn praise from Pelia (and me). And I hear that you're just as handy with cars and such.

.. Any chance you think you'd be able to convert an old combustion engine truck into a hybrid?

Look. I love space as much as the next guy but I am SO glad to be back.

Now.

What are we doing about the dinner on a religious day that we definitely don't celebrate but want to eat our weight in whatever anyway?

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.

Embarrassing things that I have done today, that I don't have to share with any of you but I'm going to anyway so that Dick and Donna can make fun of me forever? Sure. Yeah. I hit the end of my TBR pile and my first thought was 'what am I going to post on my Bookstagram now?'

[ FILTER: QUENTIN COLDWATER ]
Hey, handsome, got plans for tomorrow morning?

[Family]
I do not wish to change this evening around others. Especially not the kittens. Last moon, I retained my sense of self and kept to the fringes of the pack. I have found a suitable place for my four legged self to roam and will ask for a Super-ride.

[Jonathan]
Would you be able to drop me off at Kent lake before sunset this evening?

Due North-West from here. I anticipate I will find my own way back as I expend my energy during the night.

Brilliant. This again?

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.

Well, some might say never do things by half. Can't say I expected to find myself 200 years in the past in San Francisco, but here we are.

Name's Chris Pike, I'm a friend of Una's for those of you who know her.


Since the city might be different from what I remember, I'm curious about folks recommendations - favorite coffee shop? Restaurants? Farmers market?


[Adaine | Fig | Una]

So I'll be living with you all now. Una can vouch that I'm not the worst person to live with. I do tend to cook a lot, so let me know what your likes/dislikes are in terms of food.

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.

[QUENTIN COLDWATER]

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

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.
