The kids are gone too.

[Voice: Private to Gwen Stacy (65):]
Are you busy tonight?

You know what I discovered in this last week? I can't lie. Someone asks me a question, and suddenly I'm talking about everything on my mind. They just want a "I'm good. How 'bout you?" Instead, I have given total strangers a full rundown on how much I miss my wife because she's living in another world. Not even another state. Another world. Y'know. Just a completely sane thing to hear from a total stranger. Guess what, total stranger, I was Spider-Man back before I lost all my powers.

This is a bad idea.

I don't know why I started to write.

It was vaguely funny in my head because irony and self-depreciation is my jam, but now I'm writing because I can't stop writing.

Man, I really miss having powers. I'm happy for what I have, but I would sign up in two seconds flat to

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Faeries can be annoyingly literal and I need someone to cook the kids dinner.

I take it we are going to the ball, then.

The Tumbleweed F.D. is having volunteer tryouts today. If you're interested in helping the department out or just thinking about learning more, just swing by. They'll also have one of the trucks out for the kids and a bunch of safety tips for all.

[Friends/Avengers/Babysitters]

I'll need someone to take the kids for a few days. Cooper's old enough to take care of the other two occasionally, but he's not quite to "cook three squares" level, yet.

Any takers?

Weasley Wizards Wheezes is hiring for product development and shop work. Experience with muggles and muggle technology preferred. Magic is optional.

Those interested bring ideas for adaptation of cartoon products from a few weeks back. There is also a prank component to the interview.

We're down a player. We don't have a captain.

Maybe we just sit the season out.

No no no no

TELL ME yesterday didn't really happen and I'm hungover for a HAPPY reason and it was some post-toon fever dream or some kinda Ghost of Hanukkah Future thing? Is this because I screamed at the sky that I didn't get to keep the whole cartoon angel/devil-on-shoulders? AM I BEING PUNISHED?!

TELL ME I DIDN'T PANTS ANYONE AND NEVER WILL EVER AGAIN?!?!?!

With the end of summer coming soon, Franklin's already started his annual chorus of "Why do I have to go to school this year?" and I'm being forced to employ the parental "Because I said so" more and more every day. Anyone else having this problem?

How does America manage to have thousands of television channels and not a single item worth watching? Just how does a vampire entertain himself as the night draws on with nothing to hunt?

Question for the parents out there.

What do you do when your one-and-change-year-old daughter breaks the coffee table?

Asking for a friend.

Who else?

So how do you feel about babies?

[Filtered to Natasha Romanoff]

Hey. Sue told me to talk to you about this babysitting thing she volunteered me for.

[Filtered to Friends*]

Franklin and Val showed up through the portal today.

*[ooc: feel free to assume! especially marvels!]

[Selina Kyle]

I'm going to be volunteering at the shelter Sunday from 4-8, and was wondering if you'd like to join me.

You know how some of us, or maybe all of us, I don't know, potentially share faces with celebrities? Have you ever wondered what people are thinking if they see us instead of the actual celebrities?

Because I'm pretty sure the sight of two particularly blond celebrities at NYC pride parade last weekend may eventually hit tabloids and TMZ and have people wondering things. Oops. I mean, at least Johnny didn't flame on or something so at least our real identities are safe.

Filter: Johnny Storm

I know it's not your birthday yet or anything, but I thought I'd get you a gift anyway, and it comes in the form of an excited fan boy. I'm not sure if he'll be asking for your autograph like Molly had.

I'm pretty sure I can live off of the amount of money I'm making with this shaved ice truck just for the summer months here.

God bless the summer sun and humidity.

If I add a new flavor should I go with blood orange or creamsicle?

Murphy and I are taking a bus up to Montana. 1. Because I'm jealous of the senior trip kids 2. Montana is just about where my District would have been and 3. The scenery.

We're leaving on Sunday and not coming back until the fucking explosion holiday is over. Thursday or something.

So I've not been here long, but I'd love a chance to get to meet people face to face.

So I'm going to be grilling in the Park in Council 8 on Sunday afternoon. If anyone wants to stop by for a burger and some age appropriate cold beverages*, maybe play some frisbee, we'll make room for you.

ETA: And juice for Clint Barton.

Johnny Storm is THE BEST! He gave me TWO autographs AND a selfie. Victor is gonna be soooooooooo jelly. I CAN FEEL HIS JEALOUSY THROUGH THE UNIVERSE!

[Filtered to the teens/younger people]

HELLO! I'm Molly! I don't know how many of us under the age of 18 there are, but I just wanted to say hello and make friends I guess if I'm stuck here and all my other friends aren't here. It's lame.

Who's hosting the cookout and when?

[Private to Sue Storm-Richards]

Hey, sis, have you seen a credit card application anywhere?

I'm either going to need some sort of soundproof warding on my apartment, or, like... move before I piss off more neighbors. Who'd be willing to help me? I'll pay even. Cash or food.

And by that, I mean helping with the soundproofing. I am definitely not leaving this apartment in my state.

So how about a trip to NYC Pride in two weeks with your bisexual girlfriend? Not amidst the crowd per se, but I'm sure we can find a rooftop that won't be crowded.

Filter: Matt Murdock

Are we still working on being a better superhero without sight with meditation and stuff like that?

Can I just say that I'm super glad that you guys didn't go for the Facebook format with the network?

Also, hi. I'm Peter. Ben gave me the insider's scoop on everything. Well, not everything, but probably about 25% of everything. I'm pretty sure I retained about 50% of that 25%, and there's about 15% that I'm currently in denial about on top of that. Sooo, for the 10.6% that I'm good with, I think I get the idea. I had my freak out. Totally understand that I'm the 3rd Peter Parker here.

Which, hey, fellow Peters. Are we just doing numbers? Chronologically? By height? Follow the Ed, Edd, and Eddy format? Does that even exist here? Too many questions? ...not enough questions?

Who else is watching the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday?

( Previous netpost attempts. )

My name is Peter Parker. I'm fifteen years old. I'm pretty quiet and won't cause any problems. Seriously you won't even notice I'm there. I need a guardian before I can leave so if you've got a spare couch or anything I'd really appreciate it.

I need a new show to binge watch. Real Housewives can only get me so far.

So how do I know if I'm a Jedi or a Sith? Do we have Sith? I mean technically sort of. Maybe.

And where is Hank for this?

Ahsoka can I borrow a lightsaber?

Okay, so someone has to have my Spider powers, right? Does anyone have a strange gland that appeared on the inside of your wrist? If you press it some weird goop sort of oozes out of it. Unless you press really hard, then it's like a spider web?

Where is Stark and what have you done with him?

Where do you want to go to brunch on Sunday?

[Filtered to Gwen Stacy (65):]

Are you free for dinner next week?

Poker night. 6pm, my place. [address] Dress to impress.

Martha Jones was one of those beeps.

Is anyone else a little concerned that the people in town don't seem to have noticed all the changes, or the fact that we were gone for three months?

[Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, Singularity]

Are you guys settling back in okay?

If I find a spider Pokemon, I'm gonna name it Pete. Or maybe Ben.

What do you do when all the cold compresses in the world just melt when you use 'em?

[Rogue (1610)]

Can I crash with you? I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Murphy was stupidly brave and got between me and a saved me from a pirate. But he's also beat to shit. I don't know what I'm more mad about.

Finnick and Gale, I'm gonna kick your asses once you're healed.

[TABLETS AND PHONES REBOOT WITH INCESSANT BEEPING]

By now you're all aware that the ship has stopped. It would appear that we've been hit with an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse. Possibly two. All electronics appear to be off, though the network and tablets have been re-established so we can communicate easier. We're not sure the extent of the damage, but backup generators have not come online so those must have been hit too.

Right now, our priorities should be food and getting the ship back up and running. We have no idea where we are in terms of our next port. It could be a day, it could be two. Without food, two days becomes much longer than you want. Potable water is going to be an issue too. While there are bottled waters, we have no running water. On a ship like this, that means toilets, showers, and sinks will not work. They're all electrical.

If anyone has any skills, magical or otherwise, for keeping food at temperatures to keep it from going bad, that would be fantastic. Food storage, including refrigeration and the freezers are on level C. Medbay is on D. A & B are engine rooms, so that'll be fun to dig through.

Those EMPs came from somewhere and for some reason. I don't want to be caught blindsided. If you're specialized in tech, I'd prefer you working on the ship. If you aren't sure what you can do and want to help, patrols are good. Bucky 2 has a current list, but I think we should have more considering.

If you're down an arm or a leg due to the EMP, let us know. We'll try to get someone to help you as soon as possible.

Is that your kind of thing

Just an FYI for anyone who may be curious: the lake in Camelot does not return lost senses.

[Henry Fitzroy]

Do you have plans tonight?

[Johnny Storm]

So which fair maiden will you be escorting Saturday night?

America Chavez, Jessica Drew, Logan Howlett, Singularity, Sue Storm & Johnny Storm]

Okay fellow adventurers. I found a bean. I'm not disclosing where I found it, because it's a trauma I'm not reliving -don't ask Jess, not telling- but I'm gonna fire this baby up.

Who wants to come with? Even with all this talk of potential danger, I'm going a little stir crazy from the fairy land overload.

My fingers are crossed for somewhere dangerous with dinosaurs. I really wanna punch another dino.

So people can have the same face here. Does this happen often? Not like twins either-

I swear if someone shows up with Glenn's face-

[Private to Susan Storm-Richards]

You know, Franklin would be all over this.

And Val would probably take over Camelot.

Man, I miss those two.

I think I'm going to start wearing a hat. Just to change things up a bit. Need to decide which one, though.

Not a fez. And not one of those cowboy hats.

God, I'm bored. I wish the TARDIS was here.

I'm getting over my cold but it seems like everyone else is sick from something else. Ha! At least I wasn't leaking from both ends. Just from my nose.

Everyone has sparkly things from Middle Earth. No one got me anything sparkly. I should have got myself something sparkly. Even if I'd look stupid with a bejeweled necklace over my men's tank top. Reminds me of old times. It wasn't so bad sometimes.

I already miss sleeping outside.
