Second Chances: the Network

Shit like this happens and I never know what to do, but I've got plenty of whiskey and/or tequila to go around if anyone needs a drink.

So...my birthday was on Monday. I guess I'm seventeen now? I'm not sure quite how it works here, but I was almost seventeen back home, so I'm going to count it.

As a birthday treat to myself, I've gotten everything regarding my medical license squared away and have been officially cleared to practice medicine again! I would have done it sooner, but honestly, I was just settling in and adjusting to well...everytihng here. Also, not sure if the pink butterfly wings that I ended up with would have gotten in the way if I had to like, perform surgery or something.

I'm also really excited at looking forward to learning how to treat people with superpowers and different kinds of biology. I'm all for expanding my horizons. If anyone knows of any studies that have been done, definitely point me that direction. I love reading about different kinds of medical advancements and studies.

Also, I'd like to make some more friends, so if anyone was interested, I was thinking of maybe doing a late-ish birthday celebration and doing mini golf or bowling this weekend? Just something fun and casual.

Kind of feeling the itch to get the hell out of dodge for a little while.

[WAVERLY EARP]

Sister sleepover soon? Maybe Jack can keep the priest company for a night.

...that didn't come out right, but I'm not changing it.

[DEAN WINCHESTER]

Consider this my periodic-with-no-warning check-in. Or just me saying hi, I guess. Whatever. How's everything going?

Upside to not sleeping: you can do the night shift at the 24 hour diner and not fall asleep in class the next day. And people are being weirdly chill about the wings thing.

Question for the masses: if daiquiri is spelled the way its spelled, then why can’t Zachary be spelled Zaiquiri?

Well, hello San Francisco.

It's been awhile since I've been here. Although what the hell did you all do? Bay area is supposed to be mild weather and queer love - but it's colder than a witch's tit out there. Is this nuclear winter/permafrost we were warned about?

At least I've got my coat here. Can't imagine if I showed up here in just my birthday suit. I mean, it would have gotten some attention, but I'd be a tad worried for the safety of my best assets.


Looks like I'm rooming with another Jack - Ransom. Hello Jack.

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.

[ Enid, Wynonna, Waverly ...Dean ]

It's Michael. What do humans do for headaches and electrolyte imbalance?

Well that sucked.

[ Kaylee ]

Hey. Sorry I missed your calls.

[ Adam ]

I’m sor

So, people just up and not being here anymore, no word from the guys in charge: normal or something to worry about?

Putting the Christmas tree up was a little sad this year... I mean for one, I had to go buy a tree, but when I was decorating it I realized that I didn't have any of our special ornaments, the ones that Willa Wynonna and I made growing up. You know the tacky little kid ones that are the absolute best thing on the tree! So, I thought, maybe we could have a grown-up Christmas ornament crafting time?

I'm absolutely volunteering my apartment for this (sorry roomie! unless you want to make an ornament???) and I was thinking maybe this Saturday evening? I'll get supplies if I can get a rough idea of how many people would like to come be creative with me! Oo! And I'll make eggnog. Alcoholic for the grown ups, and a sober version for littles and people that don't drink.

What do you think?

I appreciatfe the welcaome to the community chat beut I sort of have these trust issues. Been burned by supposedly-benevo?lent before.

[ DEAN ]

Hey. Wynonna said you were here. Don't freak out, okay?

[DOC HOLLIDAY]

Have I told you lately how thankful I am for you? Seems appropriate to repeat given the day.

[WAVERLY EARP]

Love you, baby girl.

[DEAN WINCHESTER]

Happy Thanksgiving, dude. My sister baked way too many cookies if you'd like some.

In case anyone doesn't have plans today, feel free to drop by our apartment (509). We'll have food throughout the afternoon and evening. There will of course, be turkey (which has been brined since earlier this week) and all the fixings including plenty of vegetarian options and three types of stuffing because I might be an overachiever. And multiple pies since my response to the apple vs pumpkin vs pecan debate is all of the above.

Come for as long as you want or just for a doggie bag.

[Starfleet + Chris & Una's Friends & Family]

All of you are obviously invited and welcome to bring friends/guests. There's no way we're going to run out of food

[SpaceFantasy]

In case I/we don't say it enough, Adaine, I'm so grateful you're in our lives and part of our family here.

[Quentin]

After the holiday, I may need your assistance with something.

One month later.

Normally, wounds like mine take about six to eight weeks to heal, but our friend sped up the process.

If I wake up from a nap, though, it sometimes feels like it's still healing.

[Private to Cat King]
Words hadn't felt right or enough, and all gifts were cheeky.

I appreciate the call sigil you gave him, and that you didn't leave when you showed up to that situation.

Clearly you'd do anything for Edwin, and I'm grateful for that.

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.

[DEAN WINCHESTER]

Consider this a check in now that it's been a couple of days. Doing alright?

So this is new. Which I'm sure you get all the time. Jack Wilder. You wouldn't know the name which kind of hurts, ego wise.

The government types? Seem a little stressed. A little disorganized. I got sent on my way, told I should do a thing on this thing. Anyone want to add a security badge to their collection? Also, I'm looking for takeout suggestions. East coast, best coast or something.

WHO IS WAVERLY? (Hi, new roomie I guess and I'm en route)

[LAWYERS + DEAN WINCHESTER]

I know people have questions. We don't have answers that we feel safe putting out there yet.

What we do have is a situation where it feels like shit is about to hit the fan real fucking quick, though.

Can any of you be on standby in case we need you?

Hi, yes, hello. I introduced myself when I first got here and you have all been so incredibly welcoming so I'm really hoping I'm not overstepping any bounds here. But see, the thing is, when I got here I had my wife here. And then after she was gone I still had my ward. But now she's gone too. And I have been trying my hardest not to map out every single attack or odd happenstance that I can track down on the network to try to triangulate a location right now because I'm sure that better and more experienced minds than mine are already on it. But it's driving me bonkers and I don't know how much more I can take without something to take my mind off of my sister feeling so helpless.

My name is Waverly Earp. I have a masters degree in ancient languages, for those of you who chose not to participate in two truths and a lie with me. And I'm half-angel, which I sort of keep under the rug but you know, desperate times. Will somebody please give me something to do so I can feel useful? Before I go off and make up something myself?
