Second Chances: the Network

It isn't exactly a pattern but it's a little strange how many of us are from very far in the future. Which brings up the point of how chaotic the choices are as far as where people land here from.

Work will be dried up for a week in a week. If you don't want to watch me lounge around, now is your chance to either make plans elsewhere or figure out if you want to do something as a trio.

I know I had reservations about joining the military to get away from the homestead and all the bullshit that came with it but this is still not what I meant.

I'm sure some of you have seen America is here. She's about 7. From what I can tell, she's from right before it all went to shit for her. She's happy and carefree and adorable and perfect.

And if any of you breathe a word to her about what's coming up in her life, I'll personally demonstrate why there are entire dimensions that won't even speak my name.

Got it? Good.

A word, if I may?

[ filtered; Gar & Coulson ]

I found Tony. We can call off the search.

Coulson, I appreciate your contacts chiming in.

Alright folks, seems like we need a sitrep.

Did anyone else feel anything weird this morning? Do we know how many folks are arfected or what caused it?

Well, at least we have the day off to deal with this?

what the fuck

"Okay, repeating myself here but what the fuck? I am doll-sized. The phone is gigantic and I'm glad I could even reach it. Is anyone else stuck or is this a continued streak of my type of luck? TONY oops-"

Okay. You know what, I'll admit it, I'm a spoiled wimp now. I missed having a nice apartment while we were all playing dress up. And the shower I took when we got back...

[BUCK]
Beer and bad movies at my place? Whenever you feel up to it, no pressure, just thought getting out of your apartment as much as possible might be a good move. Instead of seeing all the. You know. Empty spaces. And I'll stop now because I'm making things worse.

Seriously, who designed these uniforms? I need to talk to them.

OOC Notes:

• Forward dated to 5 April / Running on UTC/Aussie time
  
• This kicks off the Star Trek Plot

Public announcement on the U.S.S. Enterprise / Public Network Post:

Attention, all personnel. This is Captain Christopher Pike. We find ourselves in a unique situation here. We’ve encountered some sort of anomaly. Roughly half of the crew of the Enterprise have disappeared. Simultaneously, residents of San Francisco have suddenly found themselves here. Let me be the first to welcome you to the U.S.S. Enterprise. I imagine everyone has a lot of questions, so let me attempt to answer them.

Ship tours will be available at 1000H, 1400H, and 1800H. (10am, 2pm, 6pm)

[Una & Ransom]

My ready room when you have a moment. Please.

Thoughts on table runners on coffee tables? Are we good, or is it too grandma?

Or. You know. Is anyone thinking about getting rid of their coffee table? I could give it a good home where it's only a little likely to end up needing a table runner.

[FILTER: HOUSEHOLD]
I might have sort of accidentally damaged the table, but it's all good. I'm on it. I'm going to fix this.

Just maybe don't touch the weird colored stain on it until I'm sure it's okay?

I guess stating that I have somewhere else to be isn't really going to do me much good, is it?

Still not convinced this isn't a dream or a halluci

I made jokes about having never been in one of those cheesy Christmas movies and then I actually was sort of in one and don't think the irony is lost on me.

It did sort of make me miss acting, though. I think I might look into community theater around here. Something I can do on my own merit and not dubiously ethical means.

[Holden]
So. Uh.

Sorry. I know that was all super weird.

Today has been a productive day. Managed to get myself a job at Ocean View stables just outside the city. They do therapeutic encounters, regular lessons, rides on the beach, summer camps, and cowboy cookouts. So I'll be leading rides, teaching riding lessons, and cooking for their monthly cookouts. If you're interested in any of those, let me know, I can definitely get you a discount.


As for the cereal - managed to make several types of cereal bars (I might have bought all the marshmallows at the grocery store). Decided to use some of them to build a model of the Enterprise - my ship from home, but there's plenty extra if folks want some cereal bars.

Well, some might say never do things by half. Can't say I expected to find myself 200 years in the past in San Francisco, but here we are.

Name's Chris Pike, I'm a friend of Una's for those of you who know her.


Since the city might be different from what I remember, I'm curious about folks recommendations - favorite coffee shop? Restaurants? Farmers market?


[Adaine | Fig | Una]

So I'll be living with you all now. Una can vouch that I'm not the worst person to live with. I do tend to cook a lot, so let me know what your likes/dislikes are in terms of food.

No. Absolutely not. My standards are low but they are not cheesy romance movie low. Whoever dreamed this one up can bite me.

[ LYDIA ]
Hey there, fake-sis. You're newer, right? How are you handling, you know, all of this?

[ BUCK ]
Sorry your Prince Charming turned out to be very much neither. We should hang out sometime, though. As friends, I mean. You seem like a nice guy who does not deserve the torture of dating me.

Rachel?

This isn't the Red

Hello Gar stop talking to yourself

Sorry bro

Holy timeskip, Batman! I mean not that I'm not used to jumping around from place to place but this was a little unexpected. Just... a teeny, tiny bit though.

Anyway, hi! I'm Gar. What's up! Guess I'm back in Frisco (sorry Connor made me say it) again. Not bad, not bad. I'm cool with it at least. So, what's good? What do we need to do? Evil villains? Mad scientists? Alien cults? I'm ready! Just say the word and I'll be there in a jiffy.

》 Your highness, I have three perfectly reasonable candidates more than willing to have dinner with you
》 The least you could do is have them over for dinner?
》 I really think one has potential if you give her a chance, she's a duchess with a good family name and has done plenty of charitable work in her city

Okay, so. End of the world? Not end of the world? Demons screwing shit up again?

No reason, just taking a poll.

There probably isn't enough alcohol in the world to make whatever the fuck all this is okay, but I have $5K burning a hole in my pocket and the incredibly strong desire to get blackout drunk for the next week.

Hello? Hellooo?

Oh! Words! Hello? Hellooo? Well that's what I said to you! You know you shouldn't mimic people like that, it's not very --

Stop it! Stop! It! Oh, this is impossible. And very disrespectful!

I just want help. There's been a mistake, this isn't where I'm supposed to be.

This is all too confusifying, I'm going to my room!

Where is my room?
