[A teenage girl, an almost forced serious expression on her face. Odd, from the neck down, it seems like she's in a kind of uniform, black and line-covered. What's even more odd, she's got a mask covering the top half of her face.]
Hello. [She clears her throat, because this sounds somewhat timid.] Hello! We've all heard that there are...rooms with

She also said some important stuff, though, and John thinks he might actually be able to provide answers. But he hesitates for a moment, because how do you break the news that there is no Earth anymore? It's still kind of hard to imagine.
Kind of really hard.]
Um, hi, Veil! [He fidgets.]

Well, right before I ended up here, actually. In...Washington D.C.
[For a moment she looks kinda distant and her eyes get hazy, but-- but then she's back, focused.]

[It must be time shenanigans again. It's definitely been a while since... everything. At this point, John really has no idea what happened when.]
Wow, this is... Well, you see, I don't think there's an Earth anymore. Or there won't be. I don't know when you came from. You must be from another session, I guess?

Oh! That's cool! I mean, it kind of sucks that you're here instead of there, but...
Are there superheroes in your world? Is that why you're wearing a mask?
[... Yes. That was a great transition. He's proud of it.]
