Second Chances: the Network

If anyone sees Steve McGarrett today, they should wish him a Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Steve.

Well isn't this just great. I had a beach, a chair by the water and an empty house, but could I enjoy it? He looks like he fought a street gang and lost No, I end up in San Francisco of all places.

I'm Danny, by the way. Probably should have led with that.

Chris and I are finalizing/working-on wedding plans.

Lila, you are absolutely free to say no but I'd like to hire you for cake duties. I was thinking a smaller "cutting ceremony" cake and then cupcakes for the guests. No, invitations have not gone out but we'll likely extend to our residential crowd at large for the reception/party because people do like a reason to gather.

Eliot is in charge of food.

The only rule here is that Chris has been banned from all food preparations and has no idea what is being planned insofar as any of it goes because I want his attention elsewhere.

the beach at Oceanview Stables - https://www.oceanviewstables.com/

Colors seem to be settling on the pale range of yellow plus peach with some blue accents thrown in. I liked this bouquet as a reference.

We all agree that the best part of Valentine’s Day, or Halloween, or Easter is the day after when all the candy goes on steep discount, yeah? Had a grand time raiding the leftovers at the CVS this morning. There were still a ton of those candy hearts with words on it like ‘sweetheart’ or ‘true love,’ but as they have the consistency of chalk and generally taste like what I’d imagine chalk would, that’s not a surprise.


(ooc: hi guys, the internet situation is somewhat resolved — work sent me a Starlink Mini, and my neighbors have had theirs restored and are happy to let me use it, so I’m gonna dip my toes back in. Will still be somewhat slow on responses as the Starlink is data capped, but supposedly I’m on the list for repairs and will hopefully get my fiber connection fixed by the end of the month.)

Having Pony join in while I did yoga wasn't intentional and he makes my downward dog look like trash next to his. But I got a load more viewers because of it. Turns out Yoga is just spicy enough to earn me some dollars 😉

I also modeled for the photography class and I look like I want to go home in every single shot. No wings yet 🙁

Uhhhh... this morning has been interesting.

Well, at least I have a fabulous new coat.

[FILTER: Will]

Did you want to invite your friends over? I'd love to meet Dustin properly.

How's my favorite cousin?

So like, half my class didn’t show up today. I think this weather is keeping people home. The profs are making noises like classes might be cancelled if this gets worse.

Cold doesn’t bother me so if anyone needs anything while I’m out, just send me a message.

It's funny that no matter how many different calendars I learn about - lunar, solar, other planetary ones... something about the Terran calendar year turning over still feels like a new start.

And I/we've got some good news to share. Operation: Put a Ring on It was a success!

SHE SAID YES!

For some unknown reason, the gods have smiled and Una's agreed to marry me. With everything that's happened back home and here, felt right to seize the opportunity.

Una

No take backs.

Quentin & Adaine

Thanks again for all your help with this.

So, Lila mentioned this on National Cookie Day and lots of folks have been talking about cooking and baking - would we want to do a holiday potluck / cookie / whatever exchange? open to everyone, no cooking required.


Also, I've managed to build & juryrig some sleighs into sand sleds, so at the stables will be doing sleigh rides on the beach through new years. If you want to see me drive a sleigh with a team of horses - and maybe be dressed like Santa.

[Adaine & Quentin]

Alright, team. When are you free this week. There's some jewelry shopping I need your help with.

[Una]

That dress you wore to the art show - any chance I can convince you to wear it again on a date some time?

So it's "later we'll have some Pumpkin pie"

not fucking pie. Only took me fifty years to get it right. To be fair our copy was old and scratched so no wonder I misheard.

Molly, let me know when I can drop the money in the swear jar.

So...my dog showed up. I'm not talking about Pony, obviously he's been here. But my dog, Backup, from when I was a teenager. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised but I never could have imagined this.

Haven't been here long enough to know if it's normal for my car to just magically appear, but as I start my new job tomorrow, I won't knock a gift horse in the mouth.

Chris didn't really get the longer chance that I did to try and let everything sit for a little while. I went back home to live more of our lives and got back on the 6th here. Not long to be gone but enough to worry some. I might not have had a say in it but I am sorry for the worry I caused.

Whatever that feather was that I found later, I didn't expect to find my away-mission armor in my closet later. I think my heart wanted a better way of protecting me and mine should something like last month happen again.

Really not a fan or this place making Una disappear a day after I came back. Talk about taking the cake for bad timing.


Sorry to those I worried with my abrupt disappearance.

Hey, are you free later on?

I have a bump on my head, but it is nothing to worry about. I'm off patrol for a few hours.

This is a new sort of new. Wasn't quite expecting this, but guessing no one does.

What the kriff- Name's Poe. Got the rundown and a key. Guess this will teach me to have a moment of wanting a vacation. My wish got twisted when granted or something.

(For you, Charley 💕)

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
