is it normal for a man to wish his lover not to be around? i've somehow angered baby and i'm not certain why he would want space away from me.

Today's Conversational Topic:

DATING: HOW?


because i can't be the only person in this place who struggles with that most basic of concepts. all my exes have either been douchebags, nazis, or reckless hero types who end up dead. which isn't a stellar track record and would scare most sensible people away so you can see where i'm coming from.

and i know, i know, i could help all the old ladies across the street while i'm here, i don't need to go down the handholding route, but i'm pretty sure bingo club has taken out a restraining order. maybe i want to get back on that scary, scary horse. but here i am, pushing a certain decade, and i have no idea where to start. also, kind of still suspicious.

so tips! pointers! anything! no, not anything. if anyone says 'just be yourself' they're going to regret it. i did that. ex still ended up a nazi. blah blah.

so how would you get your groove back, cadelle?

So. Hi. Again. Uh, this is Scott...again.

[one day he will learn how to be cool. one day.]

I know this message will probably seem weird to a lot of people here, but...

[a shrug. it's something he knows he should've offered months ago. back when he'd first come back to cadelle with a new found appreciation for just what he is.]

The full moon was just over a week ago, and I know that it's something that probably doesn't matter to most of you. But for some of us here, it's kind of a big deal.

[to put it mildly]

Getting through a full moon is a lot easier when you have a distraction. I've got my friends here. My pack. [and if his smile happens to get a lot softer as he mentions them? well, he doesn't regret it at all. they're his family.] We've got each others backs if we need it. Which kind of brings me to the whole point of this message.

[finally.]

If there's anyone out there who needs a hand during the next full moon, we're here. [yeah, sorry gang. you don't get a say in this.] Whether you need someone to run with, or just someone to talk to for the night, let me know. You don't need to go through it alone.

[and that's it. or at least, that would be it if scott wasn't hit with a sudden realization--]

Werewolves. I'm talking about werewolves. Sorry.

[smoothest mf in the city. now he's really going to hang up. sorry again, cadelle.]

( Sansa isn't the best at navigating the network but she does know how to use some basic options here and there. She knows how to respond to a video in video and she knows how to send a text but at the moment, she's trying to send a text with photographs. The photographs in question are explicit for her: lying in bed with naught but a sheet to cover her, standing and turned to the side while wearing only her corset and chemise, a photograph of her with loose hair and parted lips that's close enough that she can see the blush in her skin. She attaches them to a text message and sends them out, hoping to surprise Miles with her new use of technology for his benefit. )

I attached a few things you may find interesting. Open them in a private place?

( When Sansa hears her own device chirp as soon as it's sent, she frowns a bit and checks her network timeline. Oh no. Oh no. She immediately makes an urgent post to the network while trying to figure out how to delete the original one. )

PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT MY LAST POST. IT WASN'T MEANT FOR EVERYONE! I DIDN'T MEAN FOR ANYONE TO SEE IT EXCEPT BABY.

( Sansa tosses the device away and calls Lady to her, deciding to simply hide in her house until she figures out how to delete that post and everyone has forgotten her face. )

Morning, Cadelle.

I wanted to gather opinions in a potential new venture, so please, indulge me: if you don't know how to drive (stick shift or automatic, doesn't matter), how interested would you be in learning?

I have a lot of experience in driving and would be willing to offer lessons.

Or, alternatively: if you do already know how to drive, how interested would you be in learning new tricks? See here and here for an example of what I can do. Thanks to Robbie for filming.

Let me know if you have any interest in either of these!

(no subject)

[Steve Trevor is a smart guy. He knows how to do a lot of things. (And if you don't believe that, he's got some stories he can tell you.) But this? This has him more than a little out of his depth.]

So we could use a little help. Does anyone know anything about training a puppy? [It turns out that even doing all the research into how to do it doesn't make much of a difference when faced with the reality.

The puppy in question pokes his head into the frame, a shoe dangling from his mouth, before disappearing again. Steve disappears too, presumably rescuing the shoe from its would-be destroyer.]


That is not a toy! [He sits back down to address the camera again.]

He'll supposedly grow out of it, but first everything we own has to make it to that point.

[There's a crash in the background, and the sound of something breaking.]

Apollo, no! [Steve yells after the dog before getting up to chase after him, and the video turns off.]

video; un: marginalized_other

[ The video opens up and Alex is clearly standing inside a less-than-classy porn store and the camera is tilted just a little bit, because he's propped his Cuddlephone up against the cash register. If he's nervous, it doesn't show beyond the gesture of running his hand through his moppy curls before he speaks. ]

Hey, so...I'm Alex. I'm new here and I don't think I know...like anybody. Except you. [ He smirks and points at the camera and winks. ] You know who you are. [ The playful expression drops away again for something a little bit more serious as he continues. ]

Anyway, so...I tried to get a job at the local uh...toy store...but that shit was way too classy for a guy like me. And I got to thinking...it might be too classy for other people, too. It's intimidating, a little, right? Trying to buy sex toys in a shop that looks like you could get kicked out for wearing sweatpants or breaking something by accident?

Whatever, so I talked to, uh... [ He waves a hand in a fluttery gesture as he tries to recall the correct phrase. ] city officials or whatever and told them I'd be down to manage a new place if they wanted to, you know, put one somewhere. Their suggestion was that I take out a loan and open one myself, so...I said fuck it and I did. Shit gets done fast around here, so...

[ He picks up the camera and does a quick-ish pan of the store before propping the Cuddlephone back up against the register. ]

She ain't much, but she's open for business. Also! I'm hiring. So...you know. That's a thing. Come get paid a little over minimum wage to stand around having dildo fights and watching Netflix or whatever when there's no customers. I imagine it'll be a while before we get busy enough to, you know, not be doing that.

Any takers for the job? If not, hopefully at least I'll see some of you popping in. Help a guy out. It would really bruise a bro's pride to crash and burn at their first attempt to make an entrepreneur of themselves and you don't want to be a contributor to that, do you?

[ Cue the little grin that cuts dimples into his cheeks. ]

So I'll see you there. Here. Adult World. Come check it out. Deuces!

[ He salutes the camera then and the feed cuts. ]

( the feed opens to the view of a young blonde woman, currently seated at a bright white desk in what's unmistakably a former storage room turned office space. they hadn't exactly given her the space... but it wasn't being used, so she's commandeered it for herself. nobody's told her not to, either, so what's the harm?

she's smiling, today, pearly whites beamed into the general direction of the camera; there's a natural friendliness to her tone that makes it clear she's particularly enthusiastic about this. )


Hi, everyone. My name is Caroline Forbes, and I'm broadcasting today on behalf of Cadelle's Social Committee. If you've never heard of them, they're — well, we're, obviously — the administrative team that puts together all of the great events here in the city that we all go to, like the Match Meetings or the — ( a pause, as her gaze dips down to consult a list on her desk ) — the ball?

( rude. she can't believe she missed out on a ball. well, no matter. they'll just have to have another one. not that caroline's coffee fetching and to-do list accomplishing really gives her the power to determine the social calendar, but a girl can dream. )

Right. So, the spring Energy Festival is coming up later this month, and we're looking for volunteers to help set up and run the different booths and festival experiences. Especially from anybody tall, because we only have three ladders and these banners just won't hang themselves. Or, I guess, if you can fly, that might be helpful too...

( a snort of laughter from someone in the background, and caroline's brows furrow together in frustration for just a moment before she's right back at it, focused and determined to get to the end of her message. )

I'm here in City Hall until five today, so please come see me if you want to sign up or if you have any questions! Left wing, blue hallway, room 56-A! Okay, hope to see you soon!

( aaaand end feed. )

001 ℳ video ; @malia } { when you give vegan jerky to a carnivore ...

[Malia got super excited when she thought she got some deer jerky as a random thank you gift from the city. Then she actually smelt it and she was very disappointed to find out that it wasn't real meat. :(

It's not that she has anything vegans, they can do whatever they want with their bodies and their appetites and if they want to eat bird food then that's fine. But Malia likes meat. In fact, Malia loves meat. So she is zero interest in eating this jerky, thank you very much.

But she's not going to let it go to waste, either, and hey! Maybe she can get some bonus "nice person" points by giving it away, hence this video of Malia lying on her stomach crushing a cute plush coyote underneath her as she talks.]


Anybody like vegan jerky?

[She'll hold up one of the bags and dangle it in front of the camera.]

I got some as a gift from the city, but fake meat is weird. Free to anyone who wants it.

[Please take it off her hands, thank you.]

Hey Cadelle!

So I hate using the term PSA, but I guess, when the shoe fits...

I'd just like to remind everyone that if you ever are in need of medical attention, or advice, or anything related to your health, a clinic is open every day at the hospital. You don't need insurance, or an appointment (although you can make one), and it doesn't need to be an emergency, either.

Also, on a related note, boys and girls: the clinic does offer free contraceptives, and I urge you to use them if you are sexually active! Condoms are your friends. Even if you're on the pill, it doesn't protect you from STDs!

However, we also offer Plan B for free, in case of emergency, or an error in judgment. And I'm always happy to discuss other contraceptives with you, should you want to.

That's it! Have fun, everyone, but be responsible!

Okay, someone left something very important out of the pitch when selling this place somewhere along the line. Why did nobody tell me I was coming into musical theater city here? I'd have been prepared!

[She's not actually annoyed at all. In fact, there's a huge part of Sally that finds this entire thing hilarious. She was nowhere near prepared to see people bursting into song left and right - or for the itchy tickle in her own throat. And this is, of course, after bursting into her own song, which...really she's not all that ashamed of.

The only odd thing is that she didn't sound like a dying cat, really.

Prepared for a new life...yes...prepared for a new, sudden talent in singing and musical numbers breaking out everywhere - no. And yet she's in gerat spirits because she's pretty much alive again. She's got another chance.]


Is this a normal thing here, or just a special welcome for me? And before anybody answers there's definitely a correct answer out of the two! Or an ideal one anyway. ;p

No, but seriously - normal? Abnormal? Holy shit Sally you brought in way too much weirdness so it's got to explode around you too?

What's the verdict? Because as weird as I am I'm not normally want to sing in stranger's faces. Unless I've been drinking, anyway.


[Yeah...she probably is way too jovial for all of this, but she can't help it. Hard to be in a bad mood when you're her. And getting another chance, y'know!]

( kimberly hart does not have time for this. this, of course, being the entire wishing well garbage. she's currently seated on one of the stone benches, elbows resting on her knees, one hand pressed firmly to the bridge of her nose as she tries her best to ignore the casual bitching of her friend in the background. her friend who is, you know, currently half in the water. her friend that's a goddamn fucking mermaid, with a great big giant floppy tail and everything, who just so happens to also not have a fucking shirt on.  

it's just a lot, okay, and kimberly isn't really prepared for it. she hasn't had nearly enough caffeine yet today, but she can't just sit here either. so. head up, face the camera, smile. go back to being a cheerleader, and just focus on getting through halftime. or something, whatever. she's a bit out of practice. )


Hey, so — ( and as soon as the words get out of her mouth, clary's high pitched freakout can be heard steadily rising in volume in the background; kimberly's whole body turns like a whip, voice snapping, ) Clary! Can you not!

( which, okay, maybe it's a little harsh, but. whatever. she's trying to help. )

Hey. So. Cadelle. Does anybody have, like, a wheelbarrow... or a hose... or one of those stupid Nerf water pistols? Because my friend here just turned herself into a goddamn mermaidyes, Clary, I'm talking about you!

( more fingertips pinching the bridge of her nose. more deep breaths. she can do this. focus. think about yoga. )

Does anybody have anything that might help? Or know what kind of fish merpeople eat? Or... anything?

( please, for the love of god, anything. )

That'd be great. If you could, like, let me know? Or maybe come help out, if you've got stuff? Or — oh! — if anybody knows where I can get a kiddie pool? Yeah. That'd be good too.

( somebody help her. )

Anyway, yeah. That's... that's about it. Thanks? Okay, bye.

I know this is a pretty out of the blue question, but does anyone here play an instrument? Preferably guitar, but I'm open to other options. I'm not expecting or hoping to find any professional musicians (although I suppose you never know) but proficient would be nice, at least.

Anything expect the piano. It's been years since I've taken lessons, but I remember well enough to manage that on my own.

And yes, this is extremely vague, but I promise I'll explain more later.

[ When the video starts, it shows Nate sitting behind a desk, a book in his hands, feet up on the desk, boots beating the rhythm of a song in the background - if you're anywhere from his time, you may recognize Crank That, by Soulja Boy. The desk is a mess of papers and books and pens, haphazard.

Nate looks at the camera, the spine of the book in his hands reading Cadelle Through The Ages. ]


Fun fact for you, Cadelle. [ And then he looks back down at the book, reading out loud: ]

At Clementine Cadelle's funeral in 1845, her pet parrot, (that she requested in her will should attend,) had to be removed because it was swearing. It was heard using the term 'shitstick' as it sat perched on the front pew. She apparently also had a pet bear, whom did not attend the funeral.

[ He closes the book, a crooked grin on his face as he looks back up. ]

Now, if it was possible here, I'd totally go back in time just to meet her. Tell me, which historical figure would you like to meet if you had the chance?

If anyone's seeing this, I could use a little help to get out of this...situation.

[ The dog barks. ]

I don't know if I'll get arrested for this, but I think this animal might belong to someone and is lost, so any distractions for the police would be very appreciated.

[ Another bark, like the dog approves and is enjoying its upside-down antics, kicking its legs in the air like it enjoys it. With a wary look back at the screen, Vasquez gives one last pleading look of help in a single expression. ]

[GOOD MORNING CADELLE! Have a very excited Stiles all on your screen, making sure that he can be seen. He's totally at the Worm Hole, and god help you all someone let him behind the bar.]

So, just in case anyone's wondering, I'm the newest bartender over at the Worm Hole!

[he tries to spin a bottle all Tom Cruise like... and it drops. There's a grimace on his face as he looks back at the camera]

I'm still working on that part. But no, really, if you get bored and want to come visit me, I'm supposed to practice making the drinks on the menu and I need some volunteers...

[victims. He means victims]

... to come and give me their opinions. You can get one drink on the house from me, but it's only for this week only.

( When the video comes up, a redhead with carefully applied makeup and purposefully-tousled waves comes on the screen, looking a little more like she's about to take a selfie than shoot a video. She's looking at the camera, but she isn't necessarily smiling, so much as just...looking thoughtful. )

Okay, so maybe reaching out to a mass audience is the best way to do this, so here goes. I'm Lydia and I'm feeling incredibly indecisive about a focus of study. I should probably keep my mind sharp between now and the time I end up back home/MIT, so I'm going to go to the university. That said, I don't really see any point in pursuing biochemical engineering here because none of it will probably transfer back home. So, fellow science-minded people of Cadelle, name your favorite science; help me pick a major.

Oh, and also...I'm volunteering on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. the Women's Building teaching self-defense classes.

( Because she's pretty sure it's the kind of thing Allison would do and if Chris isn't here, maybe it's up to Lydia to keep some piece of her still alive. This is the only way Lydia knows how. She's kind of garbage with a bow and arrow and she probably always will be. )

So ladies, if you've always wanted to learn how to kick somebody's ass if you're cornered in a bad way, or even if you just want to learn something while staying in shape, stop by. Don't make me be the girl who has an empty class her first day; that would be really embarrassing for me. I'll see you there!

( She grins a little and winks at that before wiggling her fingers in a little wave at the camera. Then, the picture cuts out and the video ends. )
