Second Chances: the Network

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.

Okay, so I don't know who thought doing classes through a computer was a good idea - and yes I know the weather sucks - but science class cannot be done properly through a screen. It is something that must be experienced, hands on. Doing science through a screen doesn't work and it's hard to do experiments at home.

We had snow days back home, or... actually... we didn't have that many. I think it had something to do with the fact that the town was so small and the land was flat enough that plows were able to do their jobs quick. But seriously, how long until I can be back in science in person?

Inquiring minds want to know!

So, first step towards normal: You ever had a snowball fight?

As near as I can figure, counting from the solstice here, I turn sixteen today. I didn't expect to even notice it, being honest, with the way things are back home. I wish I miss

Really I guess it's just another day though, isn't it?

Well, at least I have a fabulous new coat.

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

How's my favorite cousin?

So, this brunch invite for tomorrow? Who's going? Hard to pass up free food and a chance to get to know our neighbors.


I might have a problem for our tech/biomed folks around here. Seems during our search and destroy mission earlier this week, one of their EMPs messed with my prosthetic arm and it's mostly just a limb shaped paperweight at the moment. I've tried doing a hard reset but it looks like they fried it pretty well. Although I make a dashing Captain Hook, any help in getting it working again or making a new one if we have to go there would be appreciated.

The apartment was way too quiet without the two of you.

[MATT]

Next weekend - you, me, someplace quiet away from all this?

I got my girls out of the city, but my suit keeps hitting critical failure as I try to fly over the city. All other attempts to regain entry have been unsuccessful.

If they're organized. We need to get organized.

I can help manage people and supplies outside of the town, I just need to know who is out here and where you are. At the very least I can make sure the people out here are taken care of and try to get supplies through the inside maybe.

Where are you? I told Peter you'd meet him on the roof. He says he is fine, but I'd feel better if you were with him right now.

Should I take Morgan away from here?

[Written after this.]

Someone please explain to me what the hell just happened. The government types said a bunch of shit that I think they made up.

Well. I guess the Big Guy isn't going to destroy the city. You're welcome.

I don't really know what to do now. I'm glad I had her while I did, but it still doesn't feel like enough. Before being here I didn't even know she was possible and now? Now living without her doesn't really feel possible either.

I have been here long enough to see times like these, where a larger group arrives or returns all at once. It does not make anything easier, it will likely never get any more easy to deal with when we lose loved ones.

But now is a time for support. Ask for it, provide it, whatever you need or are able to do. Check on your neighbors, "our people" or otherwise. The smallest offering can make a world of difference in times like these. We are in this together.

[ ooc; I am turning off tracking on this post - please use it to corral character reactions about the drops so the network comm isn't getting spammed and posts being buried ♥ filter to your own people, text messages, whatever. Your characters don't have to talk to Una at all, it's just a place to corral this. ]

IT'S TIME.

Who wants to come out tonight?! Food, hanging out, and one Peter Parker's first legal drink at midnight!!!

I was thinking dinner (and dessert!) in Little Italy then City Nights after? And City Nights is 18+ so obviously I get to drag my amazing and perfect girlfriend, too. #priorities

And then dinner tomorrow?! And CAKE.

I believe I heard rumors of a dinosaur cake?

Hi I am Peter

I dont really no how I got here but my aunt may is here and she says its magic and she wouldnt lie to me so it must be true

She said I could say hi to everyone so hi

I like coloring and Legos and building things and dogs and I have a dog here her name is addie I share her with Morgan who is Mr iron man's little girl so thats pretty neat and may and Mr Bruce are helping me spell words but I know lots of words already cause my teacher says im smart and I should be in 2nd grade but I dont want to.

There are lots of squirrels here to I like chestnut she is funny

Could someone direct me to the best place to get some tea, please? I think I may need it.

Especially considering I was just in England and now...I'm not.

Hey,

So newbie here. Looking for some lab space with some lets just say unique projects that require space/materials I don't really have access to in this new world. If any of you have space I'd appreciate it. 5k is fine but does not really build up a lab. My new computer set up saw to most of that.

I am setting up an ice cream bar for everyone in the common area. It is the least I can do.

I love you.

In honor of April Fool's Day, my staff pranked me by covering my desk in sticky notes. Who wants to help me undo this mess?

📨 Hey Dad, little help?
📨 If you're done flirting that is.
📨 Bon-Bon threw a shoe and she's mad at me.
📨 Come placate your horse daughter.

Tony, honey, stop tinkering. We need to bring Morgan to see Santa today. She's so excited. We're all going in Christmas pajamas.

Sometimes I wish I could eat food. Wanda loved cooking so much and food is such a communal experience for humans.

I know that we all have to be out of here by the 1st, but I was thinking that we could have one last roof top party to send the building out in style.

Maybe a Halloween party on the 25th?

Thoughts?
