Probably shouldn't eat the weird bird hooked hand things, right? Asking for a friend.

[ FILTERED TO THE STRAW HATS ]
We're going to that place with the turkey legs. Pick a day.

I'm fond of the holiday desserts I've discovered here so far. Maybe a little too fond. Luffy, come eat the rest of this chocolate pecan pie before I make myself sick.

A question for the rest of you, if you're bored and want to help a man out. What dessert would you recommend I try if you only had one pick? I have a soft spot for chocolate and citrus, but I'm willing to try anything once.

How long are you going to keep this up? Just give me an estimate.

Hi?

Hello?

Hi hi hi hi???

HELLO!

Does this work? They said it work, how do you know when it works?

[...]

OH LOOK! There the words are! It works!

These guys here and Not-Zoro said I should introduce myself. They also said the food does not always try to eat you back and I really hope they are right. Food should not try to eat you. You eat food. That's the way it goes.

Hi, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, Captain of the Straw Hat Crew and FUTURE KING OF THE PIRATES. Perhaps you've heard of me.

Does anyone have any toddler-friendly ideas for Christmas or Solstice celebrations? We've only been able to do things at home or with Julian and Emma in the past few years, because we've had to keep a low profile, but that isn't as much of a problem here and I'd like to take the opportunity for us to go a little overboard this year as a family.

Also any tips to get a "cool" teenager to wear a matching "decidedly uncool" family sweater.

FILTERED AWAY FROM TSC:

Has anyone experienced having ah- two spouses, here, from two separate times?

To explain a little further; Will and Jem were connected and shadowhunter partners before I met them. I had a connection with both of them, and ultimately became engaged to Jem. Circumstances out of our control separated us, but with his blessing, I later married Will. This was a hundred and fifty years ago. We had a full and happy and wonderful marriage with him, until he passed.

I'm immortal, so I continued on as I am now, but grieving. It took decades, but Jem was healed and we were able to be together again, we married a few years ago and now we have Mina.

They are both here, and I am very lucky, make no mistake, to be lucky enough to have them. Will is from the early days of our marriage, and Jem is from our current time - they're both very happy to be with each other again, as we've always loved all of each other, bonded as family. But it is becoming a little awkward and I haven't figured out how to breach the "who am I married to" topic in terms of intimacy with them.

I know this place is strange so if anyone has any advice, I welcome it.

I have been here a few days despite not introducing myself here, but I don't think I can be blamed. My daughter has been the best distraction and I've been trying to make up for a month away in the few days I've had. The jury is still out if I've succeeded, but I'm perfectly content to continue trying either way.

I'm James Carstairs, though everyone calls me Jem. My family has all been here, some for a while and one for a while, and I'm sure they're all acquainted with some of you already, so hello and thank you for being kind and welcoming to Tessa, Mina, and Kit. And Will, of course, though I know we're both guilty of being recent arrivals.

That said, I'm sure that I have plenty of time to go before I can call myself settled, but I'm wondering: for those who have been here a long while--or those who haven't, I'm not picky--what would you personally say are some of the first things you should do or see here? I'm lucky to have had several from home who could point me in some directions, but I'm curious about opinions beyond my people.

I have overused the indoor plumbing options in this flat, learned how to use the elevator by myself, and located where to make the letters capitals on this little phone thing. A feat, truly.

Tessa has shown me what a Kindle is but I have to admit I appreciate the physical heft of books. She has also given me her list of bodice rippers and I do trust her taste in reading material. Does anyone else have any recommendations? Bodices being ripped is not a necessary requirement, but I will judge you accordingly on a scale that is predetermined by me, and unbeknownst to you.

I suppose I should officially introduce myself on this Network now that I'm all settled in and have received my requisite hour of incomprehensible Edwin Courcey explanation. Though I suppose neither I nor anyone trying to make some sort of immersive illusion could have managed to make that feel quite so authentic. I swear, he's the only man I know who could make "space-time continuum" and "travelling to an alternate dimension" put me to sleep.

In any case, my name is Violet Debenham. I see we're all very open about ~*~magic~*~ here, so I may as well get it out of the way that I'm a magician, and an actress. And I suppose this might be a nice vacation from real life, at least for a little while even if Edwin said he's been here for nearly two yea

I've never properly introduced myself here. Forgive me. My name is Sanji. If you find yourself around the Crossed Quills and short on funds for a meal, please ask for me in the kitchen. No one should ever go hungry. Speaking of the kitchen, it's back up and running after the incident. Although, perhaps not at full speed. Give me a few more days before you order anything too complicated, alright? As much as I hate turning away a challenge.

Right, so. That's it then. I just want to say I love this network of yours! I'd choose this over talking to a telepathic snail any day of the week.

I hate to admit it, but Brenda's dumb oils came in handy. Though not for what she intended and for the love of everything do not put that stuff on your skin.

Everyone make it out okay? We've got a list of the main areas that were hit but if anyone has anywhere else that might need some restoration work and/funds just let me know!

I went to Soups Soups Soups Soups for breakfast soup this morning, only to find that they are closed due to vandalism and damage done to the interior and exterior overnight. It looked fairly extensive, with windows broken and the dining and kitchen areas in full disarray.

This is vexing for a number of reasons and I would like to know who would do such a thing, immediately.

I hope Halloween is as fun as an adult as it is as a child. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to wear my lady bug costume. However, judging by this sack of candy I found hidden under my bunk, I think I had fun regardless.

Thank you for letting my younger self stay at Sutton Cottage again. This is starting to become a habit and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you giving her/me a safe place to stay.

[Filtered to Zoro and Sanji]

I wanted to let you both now that I'm back to my normal age and am back on board the Merry. I also want to apologize for anything my younger self may have said or done.

Still don't understand Halloween, but thanks for the candy?

[ FILTERED TO EDWIN, SANJI, & ROBIN ]
Hey. Robin back to normal yet or is she still tiny?

I'm staking claim to that ship if she's still tiny, so tell her to hurry up and get fixed soon.
