Second Chances: the Network

[FRIENDS EXCLUDING EDWIN]
I've been searching since last month for the perfect present for Edwin and we're down to the wire now, so I suppose I'll crowdsource for inspiration. Am I being too picky? Probably, but we all know that's not going to change.

I can't believe that it's almost Christmas. This year has gone by way too fast.

Luz's upcoming art show has given me an idea, but I need some volunteers.

I'm looking for 5-6 people willing to let me follow them discretely at night and take candids. I've never been one for portraiture, but I like capturing people in their unexpected moments.

Trust me, you won't even know I was there.

And I promise I won't use anything embarrassing or compromising.

_{[OOC: let's all pretend this was posted tonight]}

Fuuuuuuck
There isn't enough alcohol in the world

Anyone got any tips and tricks for insomnia?

Margo
Busy this weekend?

Bat-Family
The Batmobile is here.

Who knew picking up a turkey feather last week was going to lead to me having to deal with some unresolved childhood bullshit? It's fine, I'm fine. Anyone want some books I guarantee you've never read before?

[QUENTIN]

Anything borderline traumatizing show up for you randomly?

I do not wish to cause alarm, but it should be known that there was an attack last night on some of the wolves.

While I have no information on who they were or why they were there, I did gather an immense feeling of anger and panic from them as they retreated. One of them may also have some broken bones. Do with that information as you will.

Anyone else feeling like this year is flying by while also just dragging its damn feet? Honestly, how is it already October? Not that I'm complaining, really. Give me a chance to wear leggings and oversized sweaters and I'm happy.

[BRUCE WAYNE]

I'm not usually one to message first after a date, but I had a good time.

OKAY SO. It's the end of September and I have to pull myself back together so you know what that means!

GIANT HALLOWEEN BASH! Edge of Glory will be hosting, costumes OBVIOUSLY encouraged. Go as wild as you want but important bits must be covered because I love you all but I'm not losing my liquor license for you. There will be prizes for some categories (think best group, spookiest, funniest, best mashup, coupl ah fuck it cutest couple, and probably more as I think about them).

Family friendly till 8, 18+ after that (and shouldn't you smol people be Trick or Treating anyway?)

Drink specials all night long and we'll be open till 2am. Halloween is on a Friday this year and we're going BIG so go practice your best Thriller and I'll see everyone there!

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

If anyone hears a smoke alarm going off on the 17th floor, ignore it. I've just removed the batteries and the offending pot of water and it won't be going off again anytime soon.

Eleven
I'm going to the store. Is there anything specific you like to eat or drink? Bonus points if it's something microwavable, but I'll figure something out if it's not.

Bat-Fam & SOs & Guardians & Wards & Eleven & also Clark
I'm ordering takeaway Saturday night and you're all invited over. You'll have the chance to meet Eleven, who's only recently arrived. Eleven, you'll get to meet everyone else.

Note that I said I'm ordering takeaway, so I will entertain zero comments about my cooking skills. Or any about the aforementioned smoke alarm.

Also, if there are any food allergies or aversions I don't already know about, speak up about it now.

And I am certainly not Alfred, but I'll make sure there are cookies.

Kaylee Frye
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're an automechanic, right? I heard something about you owning a garage.

I will miss Elphaba deeply. I hope she can find happiness in her home.

[FILTER: Glinda]

Is there anything I might do for you?

Free bowling, anyone?

If you're up against me, I can guarantee you'll win. The last time I went was when I was in the Underworld, and—with the benefit of hindsight—I think they put up permanent "bumpers" for everyone.

Well. That sure was somethin wasn't it. First one group, then another. I think we stole a car, Dean...


[ ooc; just putting something up, vaguely timed; if you still wanted to do a kid post set in the morning you can but people can start moving on if they like. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THE COMMS TODAY. Feel free to use this post and threadhop to your heart's content. I'm going to turn off notifs while I'm at work today ]

[Filter: 18+ (non de-aged)]

How many birthdays have ended up being missed because of all this? Is the plan still to combine forces for one uber party?

[Filter: The Band]

I'll be honest and admit I'm glad I didn't have to wrangle any mini Luke's, Reggie's or Alex's these past few weeks.

Love you!

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.

Can someone take me to the store? I have his my his a credit card.

Celebrating your birthday without your best friend is really lame.

Happy birthday, Adaine, you're a legal adult and your best friend is a tween.

She owes me the best damn cake when she's herself again.

I'm so glad we're all being more or less responsible about the latest mess we've found ourselves in. How's everyone holding up?

[Tim]

Happy birthday! Where do you want to go for birthday brunch/lunch/dinner? Invite whoever you want. It's on me.

[Margo]

I swear we're doing make up drinks for your birthday. I'm sorry I couldn't get away the day of.

This place... is quite unique.

[Filter to Malsy]
Oi.

Where are you?

Movies and Mocktails anyone?

This is getting old fast.


[Lila and Ben]

Sorry I haven't been the best parent-figure. We all know that you guys are in charge even on a normal week.

What do you guys want for dinner?
