Network

The twins are bouncing off the walls. We’re watching the NYE performances. They are singing and dancing and making me join in. Keeping up with these two and I’m going to be lucky if I make it to midnight! Mom and dad are asleep already. Told us to wake them up when the ball drops.

So no dreams for awhile and then I go ahead and have one. I get to dream about school and doing a group project. I'm dreaming about school. I can't escape. So much fun. And then I had to interview Chloe about her Cat Noir and Lady Bug encounter.

Anyway, the four day weekend was not long enough. I cannot wait until the winter break.

Just a helpful hint for the next time you find yourself dealing with a service worker. If you find yourself about to utter the words "I don't want to be difficult/a bother but/however..." just stop right there. Do not finish whatever that sentence was going to be because it can never end well. Any sentence that starts that way actually means "I'm doing this on purpose to make your life harder because I can".

Hooray for me waking up IN the dreams. DreamOctavia had passed out in the last one. Some grounder, Niko, forced her to drink some weird ass liquid. I don't know what it was. But it look like a very light purple color. It was drink or die. So, yay for choices. Whatever he gave her caused her to pass out. He said if she could stand, then she should run.

LIKE HELL.

Dream me was determined to get to Lincoln. Literally took a rock to Niko's head and held him at... well, held a sword to his throat and forced him back to the camp. Some lady was there. She spoke Trig too. Not anything I understood, really. But it was basically a trade off. I give them their healer and they give me back Lincoln, at a certain point.

She came through. Brought Lincoln to the rendezvous point. In which dream me APOLOGIZED to Niko. (He said Lincoln was his friend)

And then Reapers came out of nowhere.

AND dream me is back to being knocked out again.

Not really my thing, but figure might as well. If I don't then my niece and best friend might actually tease the shit out of me over it.

So, hello. I'm Frank Castle. Nice to meet you.

Hey, OC. What's shaking?

I'm Ben. My mom, dad, and aunt Catty and Uncle Sam are all on this network.

Anyway. I thought I'd check it out too.

Chloe would have liked my dream I just had. I swore SHE was Ladybug. Which is really, really stupid of me unless somehow she magically changes her hair black every time. I swear. Anyway, I tried to snoop a bit and took a picture of her locker and she got me in trouble and I got in trouble for it. Suspended for a week! Needless to say...I'm now added to the list of akumatized victims of Paris.

Lady Wifi! Not a bad name. Exposer of the truth. It was pretty cool that I had powers. Kind of really sucked I used them on my friends. At least I'm not always a villain. I could teleport through wifi devices, lock doors, record, freeze people and things. Luckily Cat Noir and Ladybug saved the day.

With my new replacement phone I took a few pictures of you in the dreams I mean.

That weird feeling of being happy for a friend that their career is taking off and hating it at the same time because you know you're going to miss seeing them since it's taking them out of the area for a while. Chloe wasn't the easiest person to get along with sometimes but she was a good friend when I first moved here.

Why do long weekends always seem so short but the week drags on?

Totally not looking forward to school tomorrow.

These dreams are going to kill me. Like I swear I'm going to have a heart attack. Scott and I were at the school at night, no one else was there except the janitor. Oh, and the Alpha werewolf that's trying to get Scott in his pack. There were no alarms, no locked doors. Like seriously. My real life school? Locked up like a tomb at the end of the day, no one goes in or out after hours.

But there we were, with the Alpha stalking us. It sent Allison a message to meet Scott at the school. She was with Lydia and Jackson, so they came too. And then we were all like sitting ducks. He'd already killed the janitor, and now he was trying to kill us. Or making us think he was trying to kill us. Jackson wanted me to call my dad because he's the sheriff, but I didn't want to and I hit him! I totally sucker punched Jackson Wittmore and lived to tell it.

Well, my dad eventually did show up, but by then the Alpha was long gone. So was the janitor's body. Scott and I realised the Alpha wasn't trying to kill us, he was trying to make Scott kill us. Kill his old pack, his friends, and join the Alpha's pack. In the dream the Alpha tore the battery out of my jeep and threw it through the window of the classroom where Scott and I were taking cover.

But the cool thing? That jeep is here. It was in the drive way the morning. Keys and all!

One, certain Grounders suck. Like a LOT. Two, being shot with an arrow hurts like a bitch. Three, my big brother is starting to see reason. And four, well... see number two. So needless to say, shit ton of pain but Bellamy sent me off with him to stay safe and so he could help.

Dream me is an idiot. I should have left but nooooo. I stayed to film Ladybug and Cat Noir fighting the supervillain The Pharoah. And who gets kidnapped by him? ME. And what does he want to do with me? Sacrifice me. I swear dream me is so single minded sometimes. Always about the latest scoop.

( Personal Entry )

You would think idiots would come up with better insults than that. Also, we've got a few of our people in the dream missing. Talk about never ending bullshit.

Is it normal for girls' clothes to not have pockets? Even though I'm usually the one doing the laundry, I honestly never noticed it before. Not until Madison said something about it today, that she wished all of her pants and skirts had pockets in them the way her jeans do, so she always had somewhere to put a cool rock if she came across one.

So, my summer has been pretty lame, for the most part. I've mostly been trying to kill time before classes start again, but since everyone went home for them summer, I've been extremely bored, which doesn't bode well for me. I do have some family out here, but I don't want to bother them all the time. So that led me to the internet to try and find some stuff to do to pass the time and I found this message board for the OC and figured, what the hell. So, I'm Conner Kent and I need recommendations for things to do to keep me occupied.

...and go!

Another loss for the akumatized super villains. Another win for Lady Bug and Cat Noir.

I convinced my best friend to go to the park to see Adrien with the little girl, Manon, that she was watching. We got separated and Manon and I ended up trapped in an ice dome with spikes pushing down. I managed to distract her and entertain her until Ladybug and Cat Noir saves the day.

And lucky me! I get to babysit little kids when I’m awake and when I’m asleep.

These dreams? They can go to hell. Just, no. I'm tired of them.

First, I get ignored by Atom thanks to my brother and his stupid rules. Second, I'm going to try and ignore the dream version of my brother. Jasper was dying and he threatened to kill him, if he wasn't already dead by the next day. So, I stayed back with Clarke.

Also, some kind of deadly fog tried to get into the drop ship. Luckily, none of it got on me but others said that it burned when it touched them.

Dream version of my other brother is a downright dick too. Had to try and keep him out of the drop ship. To keep him from killing Jasper. My brother was on a hunt, so he couldn't stop him.

Atom's dead. Jasper's alive. And dream me had her first taste of whiskey.

So.... is there any sort of consensus or whatever on how similar the Dreams mirror your lives? Obviously not like magic or the time period or anything like that since that seems something only here. But....events or dynamics or something?

Also...can you have a nightmare in a Dream? Is that a thing? Like you wake up from a nightmare but you're still in the Dream that people talk about on here? Also why is part of my hair white?

So. I think I understand why you all talk about dreams so much. because I had one last night that was super intense. Like it started with me going to my best friend's house and hanging upside down on his front porch which seems like a thing I do often, cause I was really comfortable with it and it just felt normal. But then we went looking for a dead body in the woods, because I'd been listening to my dad's police scanner cause he's the sheriff. He caught me, I abandoned Scott in the woods and the next day he said he got attacked by something, like a wolf but there are no wolves in California.

I started putting the pieces together, and realised my friend had been bit by a werewolf. Completely absurd, I know. He blew me off, but then he invited the new girl to a party and the party was the night of the full moon and I had a really bad feeling about it. I did a lot of research and when Scott came over, he got really angry with me which never happens because he knows how I am, and he slammed me into the wall and I thought he was going to hit me, but he didn't and he went to the party, but he had to leave because he started turning into a werewolf!

LYDIA! You were there and you like completely blew me off. Like that was normal. So rude! And DEREK was there too! Being broody and creepy and sulky too.

I'm not sure what to think of this newest dream. Both of my brothers here are complete and total dicks in the dream.

Johnny, you're not allowed to ever be like that.

And, big brother, you're not allowed to pull shit like that either.

Also, no. Anyone ever tries to lock me up anywhere and I will hit them so hard they see stars.

I'm pretty excited for the fourth. And my parents are taking the twins with them to some party so I can go to the fireworks without the little terrors.


What are everyone's plans for the fourth? Beach and fireworks? What are we doing?

So like, Hi. I'm Stiles. At least that's what everyone calls me. Trust me, it's easier than my actual name, because unless you're Polish, you probably can't pronounce it anyway. And even if you are Polish you might not be able to pronounce it. I'm not even Polish, my parents just decided to saddle me with a Polish name. And then somewhere along the way, I adopted my grandfather's nickname, and that's what stuck. So yeah. Hi. I'm Stiles. I like to talk. Sorry. Except not really.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Stupid, stupid dreams! I like ME. I mean, it is pretty cool that my dream dad is the mayor of Paris of all things and my mom is a super successful fashion designer. But STILL! PUH-lease! I like me!

[ Marinette and Adrien]
So....have you guys had any of those dreams people have mentioned?

Okay, so like, I haven't had any if these stupid dreams. Yeah. Stupid. I hope I never do. I like being me. Shopping spree, anyone? Mother has given me a decent amount of cash to spend.

So hi. I'm new here. New on the network, not the OC. I've lived here my whole life. Lucky me, right?

Summer's just starting and I'm already bored. Anyone got any recommendations? Nothing physical. I don't do sports or anything like that. Books, music, movies, shows to binge, foods to cook. Stuff like that.

I don’t know why I allowed Alya to convince me this was a good idea. Oh wait yes I do - because she wouldn’t let up until I agreed A friend of mine convinced me that since I don’t have a lot of time to go out and meet new people that online would be a good way to do it so here I am - Adrien Agreste. I probably should have given everyone my name in my first post but I forgot.

I woke up thinking it was Friday. That was disappointing. It's only Thursday. I definitely didn't get enough sleep last night and not enough coffee in my system today.

When you start dreaming about your friends..maybe you've been spending too much time together studying.

What part of limited availability and while supplies last is hard to understand? Both of those phrases were slapped all over the advertisements put out for the store’s promotional. That and the fact we were opening half an hour early for the author to do a reading and Q and A before signing some books and leaving. We gave more than enough notice that the additional books signed would be available on a first come first serve basis. So do not come in 15 minutes before we close and start cussing me out and screaming at me because we sold them all and didn’t hold one back just in case you came by later. If it meant that much you should have come by earlier, or asked someone to pick it up for you. We can’t not sell to somebody who’s right there on the chance someone else could come in wanting to buy it. We’d never sell any books that way.

Since senior year is almost at an end, I've been encouraged to try and find ways to network.

Oh yeah, I'm Ian, btw.

Ugh! This is terrible!

Okay so I had the best day ever yesterday! My lunch did get stolen by an Ewok but, like, I really don't care. Whoever organised this whole thing is like the best.

I mean the shooting and stuff was kinda scary, ngl. Felt pretty dangerous.

My daughter just called asking to go to where the celebration's at. I said yes. Is that better than her asking for an Ewok as a pet?

How had I never noticed how into Star Wars this part of California actually was on May the 4th? I know that it's inconveniencing a lot of people with all of these performers running around but it's not all that bad - they interrupted my shoot so for once I'll actually get my homework done without having to stay up all night.

What in the world are these creepy teddy bear like things?! One has taken up residence in my bed and is shedding more hair than my mother does when she's upset.

I'm not even going to lie, today has been so much fun! I know not everyone feels the same way, but getting to use my powers as much as I did today and helping as many people as I did is just exhilarating. Those Stormtroopers didn't know what to make of the fact that their blasters had no affect on me and I was able to pull the legs off those Walkers with my bare hands.

Anyone else have a good time today?

Normally I would hate party crashers but how could anyone be mad about these guys invading their backyard birthday party?

Pretend there's pictures of a small group of ewoks in Alice's backyard poking at things and eating handfuls of birthday cake

Ewoks can feel free to crash my birthday every year if they want. Although they did seem a little confused by the custom cake Mina got me Pretend there's a picture of a lifesize ewok cake.
