01. [Video]

[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 ( Read more... )

[A young boy appears on the screen, apparently excited or curious about... something. Truth be told, it's that whole cool mask and getup! Seriously, that looks so cool. And weren't those superhero teams??? What's up with that?

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.]

When were you last on Earth?

[Oh goodness, this kid! He's younger than her! There are kids here?! This is...worse than she thought. Well, she's really a kid too, but not anymore, actually.]

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.]

Oh, huh.

[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?

Wh-- gone?! Oh no, no way, everyone's-- They can't all be-- [wait a second] ...session?

[John appears just as puzzled, and readily focuses on Veil's sudden question instead of her reaction. He already feels bad about upsetting her. Man, he wishes Rose were here. She could explain this thing ten times over and psychoanalyze this lady to boot, all in one breath. Okay, maybe several breaths. Rose is kind of wordy.]

Yeah! Did you play Sburb? Because it turns out that it destroys the world or something...

Kind of a lame game, right? [He laughs uncomfortably.]

[She just stares at him, wow. A game that destroys the world. She raises an eyebrow, actually, because it sounds absurd! ...Says the girl who can become anything from ethanol to radon, but hey!]

No... No, I never...played any game like that. I-- um, what year was it for you?

[Is this what she thinks it is...?]

2009, I guess.

[John shrugs, and... well, the puzzled feeling is still there. It's probably even getting bigger, actually. None of the pieces were matching up neatly. For like the billionth time already since waking up, he really wishes he could find a way to get online.]

Is it the same for you?

[He won't be surprised if it isn't. John's kind of ready to roll with anything at this point. A maybe-superhero masked avenger girl is one of the least weird things he's seen, but definitely also one of the neatest. He really needs to find a way to ask about that.]

[Okay, this confirms it, once again. Dr. Pym would be so fascinated to learn his theories about alternate universes were correct. ...if only he were here.]

No. It's 2011. I'm from a different...universe.

[She's honestly getting tired of saying that.]

[John actually lights up at that. Finally something he knows about. Kind of. I mean, more that he knows of it. Geez, all this world-dimension-time hopping stuff is complicated.]

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.]

[...Well, at least he's open. And accepting. And a bit dim, but the kid's cute okay.]

Umm, yeah. That's why. I'm looking for others. So if you see or talk to any...

[Haha! See, she totally can take care of herself-- no no she can't.]
