Second Chances: the Network

Tomorrow is the last day of Passover. I know that a lot of us struggling right now, but in times like these, coming together can be important.

While it might not be a traditional seder, I do have lots of food for the evening, and would like to invite anyone whoever Is interested over for the seder meal. I [probably won't go through all fifteen steps, but we will have the traditional food, including matzah, maror, charoset, karpas, zeroah, beitzah, matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, and brisket. There will be also be saltwater and wine, as in tradition, though I do have other drinks, as well.

Even if you don't want to stay for the meal itself, I would be happy to make plates for anyone interested.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you need me. I can see where it might be a little painful right now, but you're welcome over anytime that you would like.

This is not the way to help me stay Zen, weird powers that control this place.

I'm getting pizza. And cereal. And maybe cereal pizza. Do we think pizza cereal is an option?

[[forward dated to tomorrow, look, i have 5 characters to deal with and I don't want to murder you all]]

I promise not to create a deadly witch obstacle course if you promise not to enslave a bunch of people and go on a murder spree.

[Vision]
I'm not going to school today. I assume that's to be expected.

[Luz & Diana]
I'm super not okay, before you ask, but thanks for checking in, etc. This is me getting ahead to let you know I'm not intentionally being bitchy at you. Just in case.

Anyone else do some easter egg hunting today? All the eggs I found had decent surprises in them, but if you happen to see a gold one, then you should definitely pick it up.

Mine was a family photo from home.

First day of spring break and there are puppies in the park!

Also a new group of little Zs to entertain at the community center plus my old crew.

Did you guys know they actually have places where you can rent commercial kitchen space? For things like, I don't know, home bakeries and food trucks?? They even have storage space for refrigerated and not refrigerated goods!

ANYWAY grateful to not be monopolizing the family oven for the next two days.

FRIENDS. TASTING PARTY. We're narrowing it down to the four best flavors and I've got like...eight over here to pick from so come grab a cupcake in the next few hours. I can not screw this up, I'm a gd professional, THIS IS AN EFFING WEDDING OH GOD

Guess who's back? (Back again!)

Everyone always says how weird this is but I don't think you really get that until it happens to you.

Soooo I'm good! Pre-empting everyone asking that. A-ok werewolf over here! Also I totally just lived out the same year of school back home so I guess that makes me the same age? OH WELL I'm calling it!

Has anyone heard from Enid? We were supposed to meet up and she hasn't been returning any of my texts, which isn't like her.

I like bamboo shoots as much as the next guy but this craving is ridiculous. The little old couple working the Chinese takeout (why is it always a little old couple?) looked at me funny when I asked for extra-extra-extra bamboo and I didn't even know how to explain it?! Extra carrots maybe, extra broccoli sure, but extra bamboo?

Is this a This Place thing? I feel like this is a This Place thing because even as a Certified Emo (circa 2009), this is a weird amount of black and white.

Can we talk about the fact I'm graduating college in a few months? I'm so excited.

I'm afraid all my careful budgeting has hit the end of its ability to stretch. I might have to actually consider a job, how disgusting.

I don't think I'm getting wings. It feels a little pointed. Like, "you get to do ghost things at night, you don't get to fly, too" kind of pointed.

Even the new guy in my English class, who started school last Wednesday, showed up at school on Friday with badass, punk rock dragon wings.

Yes, I'm being petulant about it. No, I don't care that I am. I'm this close to stomping my foot and demanding a lollie as a consolation prize.

So I know there's a lot of people here who can do magic and there's lots of different kinds but is there anyone who's like...actively studying magic? And how to do it correctly? Or like... Okay, if it's weird say so, but is there a Coven around here?

[Filtered to Mom Wanda]

There's someone new here. Her name is Diana and she's pretty new to doing magic. Apparently she's got this whole Light vs Dark thing going on in her and she has a hard time controlling the Dark part and I was kind of wondering if maybe you had any advice for her or if there was anything you could do to help her or anything and you obviously don't have to, especially if it's like triggering or anything but if you could or if you know anything that might help her, that'd be really cool.

Since Valentine's Day sucks. SO much. Eff this is on a Saturday this year, I'll be hosting a Galentine's brunch on Sunday the 15th. It'll be at Edge of Glory and since it's before open hours, all ages are welcome. Brunch service begins at 11 and will last until everyone has trickled out. Five flavors of mimosas and - hey, Mal, any chance I can talk you into brewing up some Valentine's themed mocktails? If so, those. Otherwise, whatever I can think of. We're putting out a fairly decent spread of waffles, eggs three different ways, various breakfast meats, appetizers and snack foods, and whatever else my chef can whip up.

All gals and nonbinary pals are welcome to join us! Sorry, fellas, you'll have to prep your own shindig.

Uh... so I'm really glad that the weather's back to normal. Really glad. But... has anyone seen Steve today? I tried to drag him outside and he's not in the apartment. He's not answering his phone either. His stuff is still here, car included.

What is going on? How much should I be concerned about this? Because Steve wouldn't leave without saying something... usually.

[Hawkins Residents]
Are the rest of us all still here? Does this happen normally?

Uhhhh... this morning has been interesting.

Since I'm sure we've all got cabin fever and are somewhat over the winter wonderland outside... not to mention Daine's post reminded me that there's probably a fair amount of birthdays we've probably missed celebrating..

How do folks feel about a community luau this weekend? Indoors and maybe with a bit of magic to set the tropical vibe.. Some cupcakes and music...

[FILTER: Friends]

Well, you all saw my parents airing out their grievances with each other. Bloody hell.

[FILTER: Harry]

How are you doing?

[FILTER: Ginny]

Are you alright?

I'm officially signed up for college classes at San Francisco State for the spring semester. I wasn't even sure if I was going to continue with college here, but hey, I might as well, right?

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the business route here, so I'm undeclared for now. Though I am going to see if there's an archery team. I also signed up to learn ASL. Never hurts to pick up new skills, right?
