Some Reality Web

Ollie and I wanted to do something for the less fortunate in Goodland, so Verdant will be holding a food drive from now to Thanksgiving. If you bring in one or more non-perishable food items, you'll get 1/2 off the entry fee. Everything will be given to one of the local food banks.

Normally I prefer Christmas but going to a pumpkin patch and petting goats yesterday was kinda fun. Maybe I've got some farming blood in me somewhere.

Thanks, Entity. I mean, no thanks but also thanks.

We should secure the building. At the very least one floor where anyone who doesn't feel like batting little evil robots around can secure themselves.

And we definitely need a supply run no one has to go outside who doesn't need to.

I guess we can add Ray Palmer to the list of people who are gone unless anyone else has seen him lately.

Nat mentioned offers to help and at this point in time I'm slightly less of an insufferable asshole but I could use distractions before I give myself another brain injury and Nat strings me up. No matter how mind numbing.

You think you could get Nat out for a bit? Pretty sure she's gonna go stir crazy watching my dumb ass but she probably needs whatever girl-time is for you guys.

>> I got Nat's message.
>> How's he doing?
>> More importantly, how are you doing?
>> I can come over if you want or you can come here if you'd rather.
>> Do you guys need dinner? You can vouch for my cooking abilities.

There is something fundamentally wrong with being called to a country bar to collect your daughter from lock up.

This feels like a cartoon special or a sleep deprivation fever dream.

Ollie

You told me you were gonna

If this is

Don't die out there, okay?

Nico & Hazel

I know better than to ask you to go hang in the bunker, but at least promise me you'll be careful. If you get in over your heads, CALL ME.

Okay, this compliment stuff is really not my usual style, but whatever.

Entity, sometimes this place is actually pretty okay. Maybe more than okay. The spontaneous vacation in Thailand didn't suck.

To everyone who came to my birthday party*, thanks. You guys are pretty great.

OLLIE

You're a pretty cool big brother most of the time. Never forget how much I love you.

NICO & HAZEL

I never gave a lot of thought to being a mom and I know I'm not yours, but I couldn't ask for better kids and I'm really glad you're both in my life.

[*OOC: Thea's birthday was the 21st and I didn't get around to doing a post, but I'm gonna say she or Ollie or both threw a big party at Verdant, everyone (18+?) was invited, please feel free to say your character came!]

[Thea]
I kind of suck at saying it but you're a great sister. I don't tell you that enough and I'm glad you're here.

[Clint]
You are one hell of an archer. I'm learning a lot from you and thanks for putting up with me hanging around your place.

[Nate]
We should hang out more.

[Lila]
So...I don't know about you but I'm over the friends with benefits thing. As in I've got real feelings and I hope you do too. I'm not always the best at catching those kinds of clues but there it is.

So... do I want to eat this cookie??

Given we've sustained so many losses lately and given what happened last time it's probably time to check in on who's here, and what they can do.

I'm not just talking about fighting. Last time when things went South we had a lot of people step up and help provide food and shelter when it was needed and that's important. Then there's those of you with medical experience, and the ones good with technology.

I don't know if there's still a list, but if there is it's out of date, and I'd like to get it updated.

Last time there was a battle to be fought everyone ran in with their own agenda. Myself included. And while the intentions were good, it's not the smartest way to do things. We need a plan. I'm not saying this is just my call. There are people here from worlds I don't know, and those of you who don't know me.

But I'd like to be ready.

[Clint]

» Happy birthday, Old Man
» I may or may go easy on you for past shit tonight
» Special occasion and all

[Oliver]

» What are you doing tonight?
» The correct answer is...
» Coming to a family dinner because apparently that's what my dad wants for his birthday

» Got a bottle of Jack that was stolen from the liquor store
» By my juvenile delinquent father and his girlfriend
» Wanna share?

I didn't know anyone who left today aside from Barry Allen but to all of you who lost someone, my condolences.

[Lila]

I'm sorry about Cooper. I won't ask if you're okay because I wouldn't be if the situations were reversed and Thea was gone. or if you were taken back I figure
you're probably doing the family thing but if you want to get out for a little, we can go up on the roof and shoot stuff. Just send me a text.

I went to pick up Chewie and discovered Barry's gone. Just... letting everyone know. ♥

It seems like wishes do come true in this place sometimes. I asked the Entity if it could bring my club, Verdant here and it did.


[OOC: please pretend this is a daytime picture]

I'm going to need some staff, so if you have bartending experience, hit me up. I'll probably hire a few bouncers, too.

Ollie

I looked downstairs and guess what I found.

Tug-o-war with a small purple dragon on the roof, who wanted my chips more than I did, may be the highlight of my week.

[Oliver]

I'm keeping that picture of you and Mickey Mouse to use for blackmail purposes.

I should have done this sooner but before I could, the place turned into a candy nightmare. My name is Oliver Queen, I have no idea how I got here but it sounds like nobody else does either so at least I'm not alone.
