Second Chances: the Network

There are SOME perks to your family occasionally up and disappearing on you and then coming back.

Klaus will always be older than me now. Being the little sister is great! Now if the others were here...

(Very sorry for the tone deafness to people who are hurting and all the housing uncertainty, but...)

I am EIGHTEEN!

I'm in PARIS!

Suck it, Dad!

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped me get this far! In my life back home, that wasn't possible, but here it is, and I couldn't be happier in this moment than I am right now!!!

Happy birthday, Allison and all the Hargreeves!!

Some of my students are complaining about the substitute history teacher. Something about their voice being so monotone that they fall asleep no matter how many Monsters they slam.

If anyone is interested in a day job as a high school history teacher, I'm sure Angie can doctor some degrees and pull the same strings she pulled to get me my position. Bonus points if you can tell a factual story without putting teenagers to sleep.

It's really uncomfortable how long these candles can burn. I finally said screw it and made the stupid wish. I know better but, well, sometimes I don't always do better.

It's a little bit big on me, but it's good to have a bit of Mom here.

I'm back. I'm safe. I don't know if I deserve to come home right now.

[vague spoilers for Umbrella Academy season 4]

Can someone come get me? [locatiom pin of a local bookshop] I'm stuck in the bathroom, and I can't keep the Horror in.

Some shelves got knocked over.

I may have hurt people.

Spent all day trying to solve the three-body problem. Can't. It was fun.

I think I understand Netflix now. I need the new seasons faster please.

Happy birthday to my dad. Wish I could see him today.

Summer feels like it is flying. I am not ready to go back to school.

Anyone else up for a glitter free beach day?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to try to contribute to an online study group when you can only type in emojis? Do you?

Anyway, thank god that's over. Who's looking forward to school starting back up soon????

I'm looking for your worst tavern. It should smell dubious, and attract unsavory company. Better still if it isn't well-lit or well-staffed — patrons should be expected to keep the peace, which is necessary when there's excessive gambling. You wouldn't recommend it to anyone you like, except for the fact that the drinks are strong and the owner turns a blind eye. Or they involve themselves. Varric -

I would appreciate your assistance.

Everyone should really just be staying indoors as much as possible.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to be just a little guy when birds are the enemy?

Also relatedly:
If you see ants in your apartments please don't spray or otherwise do the whole pest control thing. They're trying to hide and I can't corral everyone where they can't be seen indoors. No one is asking for you to tip-toe everywhere, I just promise it's not an infestation.

Has anyone seen my wife? (Just kidding, I know where she is. I just wanted to use "my wife" in a sentence.)

It's National Donut Day. As this is almost as important a holiday to a Hargreeves as Christmas or Thanksgiving, there's a few dozen in the hallway.

Take one. Or two. I don't care, just enjoy one of my legit favorite foods.

(Ben, Klaus, Clint, Lila, Molly (not the Luckys, no donuts for doggies) there's extra coming directly to your door. So don't race each other downstairs)

(((Who am I kidding, you'll totally give the dogs donuts)))

I refuse to do summer classes, my brain is on leave. Hibernating is a viable option, right?

Do you still need ideas for your show? Cause I’ve got a whole spreadsheet I started after we talked about it that I completely forgot about.

[Filtered to Alex]

I would like to go with you. Whatever you want to do.

Вы говорите по-русски? Говорите ли Вы на другом языке кроме русского?

English doesn't count.

لغة واحدة لا تكفي



[ ooc; I use span titles but the first is Russian: "Do you speak Russian? Do you speak a language other than Russian?" and the second is the standard modern Arabic: "One language is never enough" - she's bored and apparently doesn't feel like English-ing today ]

For a moment I panicked that I was being affected by what was happening because I'd had a vision.

And then I remembered I always get visions. Oops.

I'm not sure what creature might cause this, but your room may have something in it. There are things flying around, books and clothes and things. Please be careful, apparently if you get hit with your laptop you'll have a pretty rough concussion.

On the day of my presentation!?
I am filled with vexation!!!!

Fig made me think, PROM DRESS SHOPPING!!!!

Who's in? It'd also be good to know at least some of us aren't at risk of all wearing the same thing.

[Ben]

Just checking in, are you too mature and cool to come to a high school prom now? I'll go solo if I have to but we both know I'd much rather have the world's best boyfriend there.

If one had a trans brother and it was Trans Day of Visibility but ones brother was sent home, what would you suggest one do to honor said brother?

And it's Easter and I don't even remember Claire's last Easter basket and it's getting harder to remember a lot of things about her and it's fucking me up and

Let's assume drinks are out. As an idea.
