[ Five is in the garden, sitting on the grass with a big golden retriever seemingly sleeping on his lap, effectively pinning him in place. The dog's eyes are closed, but if one is observant, they might notice the tail wagging lazily behind him. Five has one hand on Sammy's head, gently scratching him between the ears as he tries to come up with what to say now that he's decided to announce his presence again.
He came back a few days ago after what feels like a lifetime away. He's found his other self, but he's been afraid to ask who else is around. Afraid about who might not be. But he's never been keen on wasting time, and while his memories are still fuzzy, it's better to rip the metaphorical ban-aid once and for all. ]
Ey, so...it's been some time. [ He's grown up, grown older, and even though it can't be seen because the dog is on his legs, Five left the damn shorts behind him a few years ago. There's also a tiredness in his eyes that wasn't there before. ]
I have two important questions;
Number one, who's not dead?
And number two, do we have any lint rollers?
[ As people can see by the sorry the state of Five's suit, now covered in fur, wearing dark clothes, and having a golden retriever as a pet is a bad combination. ]

[Backdated] Two Grumpy Old Men Finally Get Some Sleep!
It had been a long time since Five had been able to get more than just a couple of hours of sleep that weren't full of nightmares or hadn't been a blackout due to either an injury or just flat out drinking too much liquor. And well certainly it is a rarity that he lets anyone into his personal space, sleeping or not.
So it might come as a surprise to any of the house occupants, that happen to pass by the living room to find not one but two Fives passed out on the sofa. They might be even more surprised to see the pair huddled together for warmth and just general comfort. At this rate they really do look the part of twin brothers rather than two versions of the same person. This is probably the first time in a long time that either has fully let their guard down. And well they do look adorable while they are sleeping.
Anyone looking for blackmail fodder or to just enjoy poking the sleeping bear, now is the time to do it, because who knows when they will let this happen again. At least out in the living room...
[ooc; So this would be the day after Rey's date night with Steve, but before Five's post to everyone about how to tell the two of them apart. Anyone wanting to take pictures of them for proof that this happened are greatly encouraged! Prose or action brackets are fine for this fyi.]

If I could Turn Back Time: A Blast from the Past (Teenaged Evie)
Who: 15 year old Evie Hargreeves and YOU
What: Evie and that time she magically dyed her hair blue AF and couldn't change it back.
When: Teen years. Roughly 15ish years old.
Warnings: Probably some swearing.
Evie was a diligent and hard-working witch. She was a perfectionist. She wanted to get things right before missions, so she worked hard and frequently on spells. Father always found new ones for her to try, and she mastered them quickly! And then got bored.
This was where the trouble started. This was where the trouble always started. Evita Hargreeves gets bored, Evie Hargreeves gets creative.
Evie does dumb shit like adapt a glamour spell so that instead of a full body change, it only changes a little. Like her hair. Which has been blue for about a week.
Finally, father insisted she change it back and she tried. Repeatedly. So often, in fact, that she could do the spell without reading from the book. But none of it worked. She tried mixing her own potions and for brief moments they appeared to work!
But then that blue would shine through again within minutes, just as vibrant and as bold as ever. In fact, she was sure it was coming in even brighter than before just to spite her.
So she tried box dye. And when that didn't work at all?
The scream of anger and frustration and sheer annoyance from Evie was said to have been heard for a few city blocks.
Which is an exaggeration, it wasn't that loud? But the whole house sure heard it and any empaths in the house sure felt all the rage and annoyance and fear and frustration in that one elongated howl from Evie's bathroom. It lasted for about 40 seconds, for anyone interested in that kind of thing, and people will find Evie staring into the bathroom mirror as the brown literally falls off in chunks, leaving her long, blue hair still on her had.
Just as blue as ever.
"No. NO! NO, OH GOD! NO!"
Finally fed up with what was happening, Evie balls up her fist and punches the mirror, thus also receiving a few good cuts on her knuckles, red blood showing up aggressively on her naturally pale skin.
She won't notice right off, but someone should probably help her, there.
"What the hell do I do now?!" she says again, the question for anyone nearby. Please help. She's in a panic.
[ ooc: as stated, a blast from the past post! this is teen evie. dogpile the threads, make them all one, long reaction post. ]

[ Five is sitting cross-legged on the carpet living room, wearing the Academy uniform. There's nothing strange about that but instead of their regular black tie, he's wearing a dark burgundy one. There's also a very excitable, very small puppy on his lap, rolling around and either trying to playfully bite his fingers -which Five doesn't seem to mind- or waving his tail wildly and asking for belly rubs...that Five also provides as he speaks. ]

Date nite, ft. 2 time assassins for siblings [Closed to Five's and Steve]
Rey was excited and not as nervous as she was anticipating herself to be. Tonight, she was going to have Steve over for pizza and a movie. A continuation of an earlier lunch date which went extremely well. A great first "date" and now, she was going to hang out with Steve again. He was a very sweet fellow who made her heart flutter and she couldn't believe they met and had exchanged numbers.
Her siblings advice on texting Steve (though she did not provide a name to her mysterious "friend") had gone pretty well, except the advice did not cover what to do if the objection of your affection texted you first. That had certainly thrown her for a loop, but it allowed them to talk, make plans...and now she was making sure the pizza was ordered, the movie was prepped and she had everything else she needed: water, soda if Steve wanted, and plenty of booze for her.
Which...actually reminded her of something.
Rey had thrown on an over sized emerald shirt with black leggings when she remembered she had to send a text to Five...or one of him? Both? Whatever the case, she needed one of him to pop over before her date arrived. Not that she was ashamed of her family but...she didn't think it was appropriate to have Steve and her eldest sibling meet--not yet.
Hey--There's still some coffee ice cream at my place. If you want it, come by in the next half hour.
Rey
Shouldn't take Five (one of them) long to read the message and pop on over...never mind the fact she put a time limit.
Now, she just needed to fix her hair a little. She had been wearing it in a pony tail all day, and she wanted to let it hang down.

I have a family project in mind, and I'm going to need as many volunteers as possible.
We're having a movie night. In the courtyard. It's all cleaned up and space has been made, but now I'm exhausted.
I have four white bedsheets that I've sewn together for a movie screen that needs hung up. I need someone to set up the chairs and hammocks, and I need someone to get together a mess of snacks and sodas.
And someone to help me figure out what movies we're watching.
Disney was amazing. I loved it. Now for something completely different.

Fair warning; Peter was trying to fix Elliot. Elliot ran away and is probably hiding under couches or up in corners.
[ Elliot being the animatronic dragon Peter made her when they were sixteen. With a few upgrades over the years (And one instance where someone found SKYNET-like coding in his 'protect_evie' protocols and had to rewrite it) Elliot is his own ball of chaos. More ferret than dragon, Elliot has a thing for scaring people and Evie didn't get to him in time to activate the Sleep function. ]
If you see him, keep your eyes on him and let me know where he is. Remember; he likes chasing light reflections so if you can get your watch or something to flash on the walls? You'll have him for a few minutes.

A meme for memories
Okay, Fam. Let's get some memories made for these crazy kids. Here's how this shit works. You tag in with your characters, write up a few memories for them. People jump in with "I WAS THERE! I WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN IT HAPPENED!" or some variation of a reaction.
Alternately: Tag other people with your ideas for memories between family members! That's fun, too!
These people need *some* kind of happy in their fucked up childhoods. Let's do this thing.
For anyone with AU siblings, consider this; where was your character when they stopped the robbery at the bank?
How did they react when Five ran off?
How did they react to RoboMom at first?

The most Epic of Backdating: Closed to Harry Hook. October 14th, 2010
Original birthday plans had been cancelled. October First was when she was supposed to go get drinks with friends from the small playhouse they worked in, but they couldn't coordinate a time. And now, when she was sure a time had been coordinated and she'd received confirmation from her friends that yes, Etty's Bar was in fact where they were going today, and yes, they'd all be there at seven like they told her...she was pretty sure her so-called-friends were assholes. No one was here. And at 7:23 after she'd texted them to ask where they were, they replied with something along the lines of they changed their mind.
That was fine. Evie was still going to get something to drink and enjoy it on the porch of Etty's.
Sure, it made the birthday a little lonely, and she was actually pretty pissed about it. But this was Evie Hargreeves. She's been through so much worse than being alone on her birthday. Again.
With a small smile that really doesn't reach those pretty eyes of hers, she orders a Guinness from the bartender and shows her ID.
It takes a little bit of arguing with the guy to get him to understand yes, she is in fact of age, and he's almost about to deny her her alcohol, but relents when Evie insists that is her real age.
Beer in hand, Evie heads out to the back deck. Overlooking a lake, it's actually a pretty nice spot to get some quiet. And okay, she's aware it's a little sad to be drinking alone. But fuck it. Fuck it all to hell. She's getting her first beer, friends be damned.
Finding a pretty porch swing to sit on, complete with cushions and room to stretch her legs out as she watches fireworks go off at a distance, Evie settles in and decides this might not be that bad.
Until, of course, a group of people come onto the porch, laughing and being loud. The look she gives them, for just a second, is hopeful. But she recognizes none of them and frowns a bit, giving the guy with the blue eyes who caught her glancing at them a small smile and a soft wave of apology. Sorry to bother you, even if she really didn't. She'll just be over here, drinking her beer and making a slight face at it because it's mildly gross.
Don't mind The Witch.

[ Oh, Evie absolutely went to Disney, but she had to come down a couple days later than everyone else. She had work still, even after she and her family saved the world yet again. Wrapping up an Off Broadway production of Newsies as part of the chorus was exhausting, she had an album to finish.
So she was glad to be at Disney with her family, finally, and it was time to let them know she was there. ]

Disney Vacation: Hargreeves Edition

While Peter is aware this is probably not his best idea, he's done it anyway. He's reserved space at Disney and all the parks nearby for himself and his siblings. They've all been through Some Shit and honestly, they've fucking earned it.
They all have their own hotel rooms at the Polynesian Resort. They all have parkhopper passes and FastPass access on their magic bands and enough money for too many souvenirs and too much food and alcohol.
Basically, Peter expects things to go mad. Sorry, Disney, but the Umbrella Academy is in town and they're here to have a good time.
Obviously, there's Magic Kingdom where most of the princesses and princes and characters are found. It's the home of Haunted Mansion, Small World and a variety of other coasters and rides to hop on.
There's also Animal Kingdom where you can see a variety of exotic animals, take a tour of their mini safari park for all the animals there. And even visit the world of Pandora from that weird movie about the blue cat people in space. That movie may have sucked, but their Banshee ride doesn't, and Peter may go on that at least three times before someone drags his spider-ass off. But let's be real, with as immersive and as realistic as the ride feels, right down to the fact that the ride feels like it's breathing, who can blame him for getting on it repeatedly.
No one.
Hollywood Studios is where you'll find the Tower of Terror, a whole section of the park dedicated to the Muppets and of course, what a lot of the Hargreeves are interested in. Galaxy's Edge, their Star Wars themed park. How many lightsabers are they going to walk away with before people tell them to stop coming to Savi's workshop?
And for that matter, how many droids?
Speaking of fun Studio-themed amusment park, who's going to head over to Universal? The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will absolutely be a draw for a few of the Hargreeves, along with some of the more entertaining rides like the Jaws ride and anything to do with Jurassic Park.
And finally, there's the shopping district, also known as Disney Springs. While the shopping may be a draw for some, there's the Rainforest Cafe to get a bite to eat in. If that's not your thing, there's always Raglan Road for a bite to eat and some amazing alcoholic beverages.
Have fun. Go Wild. Try to not create too much chaos.
