DISASTER ROOMMATES

i'm making dinner. don't be too shocked.

[...] also we have a lot of pie so please eat it.

WHO: Mica Beaumont
WHEN: Early afternoon of December 12
WHERE: Disaster Roommates apartment
SUMMARY: A package that Mica had sent to Mississippi ends up back on the porch.
WARNINGS: A very crappy dad
BINGO PROMPT: Friends Are Chosen, Family Aren't

( Just like that, Mica's good mood evaporated to nothing. )

Dunhaven has its own little social network and I think that's probably the cutest techy thing I've ever heard of. I'll try to make good use of it while I'm here visiting my sisters for the next few months or so. Just in time for Christmas. How is the holiday down here in Virginia? Events? Things to see around town?

Oh, hi, I'm Tori. Tori English. Hello new neighbors.

5am was forever ago and i still don't know how i did it.

Y'all know what's great in December?

Offshore fishing.

So get yourself over to Calm Waters this weekend and join me for a good six hour trek out on the water, pullin up plenty of sea bass, bluefish, and if we get lucky maybe even a tautog. Now, throwback rules are gonna apply, but this weekend looks to be high 40s, sunny and clear, before a cold weekend and some freezin rain next week and I sure as hell want to beat that. Bet you do, too.

5am Saturday, for anybody who's in. Bring a coat and a hat. I'll supply rods and bait, show you what a Waters Boat can really do for your love of fish.

i would like to apologize for my anti-holidays sentiments for yesterday. i still am not a fan, but am marginally less grouchy about it after i slept in and stared at our christmas tree for a while.

CHASE

why are you punishing me

not to be a downer, but the holidays suck. i mean, more power to everyone out there that enjoys them and the big family gatherings and all that stuff, but i could really do without. let's just skip to the drinking on nye, k?

also i got a black eye today over a fucking dvd at best buy. it wasn't on purpose and the person was all apologetic about it, so honestly it's kind of a lame as hell story to tell and i should probably come up with something more exciting, but whatever. i'm only saying this here because i figure i'll reach some people and it will cut down on the "omg what happened" questions when i'm bartending tonight.

anyway, i'm done being a ray of fucking sunshine. enjoy your fridays so i can live vicariously through you.

hi, dunhaven.

does anyone know if anyone is hiring? i have experience in cleaning houses, being santa's elf, candy sales, and tattooing. also, i do art. my portfolio is on the big wall in the lobby of k auto.

WHO: Mica Beaumont, with a guest star of Mehdi Khan
WHEN: Morning of November 23, just after 8AM
WHERE: K Auto
SUMMARY: Mica is returning from DC with promised donuts and pastries, but gets distracted by the mural.
WARNINGS: None

( As she stared, the names started to materialize in her mind. )

I [...] Well, this is unexpected. I am typically an incredibly unlucky person. I have bought multiple "1 in 2 wins!" scratch lotto tickets and lost on every single one, in the past. I spilled coffee on myself just this morning. I walked into a wall-- no, that was my own fault.

I did not anticipate winning a trip to Cancun. Are we all sure this isn't a scam? A rich prince offering up a vacation simply so he can drain my bank account (the joke is on you, prince), or to kidnap me? I promise you no one will pay (Mica can't afford doordash, let alone ransom).

CHAOS ROOMMATES

I dropped my car off at the mechanic shop and I believe I embarrassed myself throughly in front of your father, Jessie.

Was there an inspiration for the mural you painted, by any chance? Fan art?

Based on the conversation we had on here recently, I compiled a list of everyone who is Dreaming--both public and anonymously. Out of respect for your interests, I only included those who specifically commented to be included on the list. In addition to compiling the list, I have also put together a semi-brief document for those who have questions about these Dreams since we continue to have a lot of newcomers who are otherwise unprepared for when these Dreams hit...or are just super confused by at the talk of Dreams on this network.

The resource (which includes the list of Dreamers) can be found here.

I wanted to go ahead an open this post up, as well, for anyone who wants to add their User ID (public or anonymous) to this list, or potentially update their information on the list. I only included Sources that have been discussed publicly on this network, regardless of whether or not I was familiar with a Source existing here. So for anyone listed as Not Disclosed, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not you want that "spoiled" for you.

Which also raises another question which I would like to answer on the list. If you are on this list, do you want a) others to reach out to you and/or b) others to give you information about your Source if they know it? Please answer below, if you can or want to!

The Body Shop will be open for business next month. I know the holidays can leave a lot of people wanting to punch stuff, so remember we're here for you. For the rest of you with functional families, please think of us during your New Years tradition of vowing to get into shape.

We're going to have a variety of classes from self-defense to yoga, and I still have some spots open for trainers and instructors. If you have any interest, just shoot me a message.

Apparently if you spend a week in town, you get access to the local network? Or perhaps it was the intent to move? The latter feels a bit creepier than the former.

Whatever the case, consider me intrigued. I've been successfully charmed by small town living.
