Hey, kid, how's it going?

[FILTER: Abbie Keener]

Welcome to the craziness, sweetheart. I'm glad you are here. If you need anything, bang on my door.

Harley calls me Dad now. That is all.

TEXT TO PETER PARKER

» okay, what the crap?
» like seriously.

[after meeting up with Peter, she makes the following public post]

Whoa. Hey. I guess I was gone for... awhile. I don't actually remember leaving and I'm pretty sure I didn't remember even being here until I got back. I can't believe I missed D I'll be in 8-B if anyone needs me.

Ugh, fuck you Team Parker.

You get street tacos.

[Filtered to Jason]
We lost. I'll still buy you food.

Since we seem to be sticking around, I guess it's time to find the hidden Mickeys.

Family in all shapes and forms, we're going to Disney.

Anyone else forget to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? I remember when any holiday was an excuse for drinking a party. Maybe I really have gone soft.

This week has been weird as hell.

But I guess there's been worse.

Anyone up for a round of movie night on Sunday?

Hey, kiddo. I'm not allowed to hang around campus with you anymore. It leads to me exploring.

These ostriches need to learn the concept of personal space.

Hey, my name is May and I just started working at the Youth Center. I don't have many preconceived notions about what this place is or should be, which is good because it's not for me. It's for you guys. With that in mind, I'd love if you could answer some questions for me, because we can't shape it into what you guys want or need without your input. Feel free to make the message private to me if you don't want to share with your peers.

Tossing my best friend into cotton candy trees then having to drag said friend home in a literal bubble (thanks, Emma) because he was being stubborn isn't something I ever thought I would do.

So okay, this plus all of the other good shit that's happened since I got here? You win, Goodland. I believe in magic.

Now if you'll excuse me I still have sticky sugar in my hair.

Let me know if anyone wants me to fix their clothes so they don't get sticky and covered in candy.

How do you stop acting like a kid is your kid?



[21+ & you are if you want to be]

Hello? Where's my kid? Why am I in Manhattan? What the fuck happened? Did we blip again? We blipped again, didn't we. My phone's date looks completely fucked. Who's got answers, because nobody out in the street with me seems even remotely surprised.

Ice cream for brunch (cause who eats a proper breakfast anyway?) and now a real live fluffball. They remind me of tribbles, but in nicer colors.

I'd say it's been an alright day.

Paging the kid with the magic potion. Your services are required.

I'm down another kid. Ned's gone.

This euphoric feeling is fucked up.

I am pretty sure on a normal day I would be livid and annoyed at the amount of sparkles that will not come out of my hair, but I'm irrationally happy about glittering.

Damn.

I'm so fucking happy. I have the best wife, the greatest kids, wonderful friends, an awesome company, and an amazing farm. What more could a dead man ask for? What a great life.

I don't think I ever got an explanation for the ostriches.

Hey, Squirt. How about those cheeseburgers? I'll even throw in some tots in honor of your dad's made-up holiday today.

So now every time I'm having a rough day I'm just going to go pet an alpaca so at least I have that going for me right now.

Now that I’ve had time to sleep and to think, I’ve decided to follow James’ and Tony’s advice. I’m not one for sitting around and waiting.

For those of you who do not know me, my name is James Rhodes, though most people call me Rhodey. I have been in the Air Force since I graduated High School many, many decades ago. I have been struggling with a restlessness that I did not understand since coming here, and I know what I need to do about it.

To be honest, things with the influx of evil-doers could have been worse, but we came together and worked together as best we could without knowing each other-- without having and understanding of each others strengths and weaknesses. Some of us fought even though they were reluctant, some of us helped even when they didn’t have much to give. Over all, everyone acted commendably. Still, we were scrambled, it was very obvious that we were caught off guard.

I don’t want to be caught off guard again.

My suggestion is that I am going to run a training program. It is entirely voluntary, but will act as a guard for Goodland if necessary. We will train together two saturdays a month. We will learn how to work best as a team. We will learn each others strengths and weaknesses and we will be ready to fight against whatever hardship we face.

There is no pressure here, just thought that having a proactive guard might be worth investing in.
