so new people showing
hi everyone! I'm Kate, or Hawkeye
there's a lot of younger people in the mix as well
before the adults get involved and start poo pooing the idea of *kids* saving the world
I'm sure mine isn't the only one that's been saved by the younger gen a time or two

anyway
I've found a building here that is basically mine from home
my home
it's marked as Bishop Publishing

any teens or 20 somethings need a place to hangout
it's open
there's several games, an archery range, gym, and a lot of other things that can be used to either train or just relax

[address of building here]

feel free to join us
it's all good

Comments

[notthatstraight]

yeah, they seem to like people from my home
which I can understand honestly as there are a lot of heroes there

most of the adults I know just don't think we should be doing anything too dangerous
which I understand
but if we have the opportunity to do something we should

[levelshift]

What the hell do you mean by heroes?

As much as it pisses me off, it's way too late to be telling any kids to fuck off. No one really knows what's going on, right? Even with some people having been here a little while?

[notthatstraight]

people who do good things and help others?

yeah but it still happens
they think some of us are too young to be doing this
but we were picked just the same

the longest we've been here is a month
so not a lot of time to gather info

[levelshift]

That sounds more like the bare minimum of being a good person. But I guess 'hero' is just a nonsense label, anyways.

Echo apparently thinks differently, or finds this hilarious.

Anything important us newbies should know?

[notthatstraight]

true but not everyone does that
and heroes do it for big events
like we're going to have to do

we don't know what's going any more than you do
although I do know the favorite drink of at least one person here that's not from home

that last was due to a getting to know you exercise
expect more

[levelshift]

So the heroes from your home are the kind that deal with big crises?

Seriously? A getting to know you exercise? Why?

[notthatstraight]

we cover a lot of things big and small

we're supposed to work together or something
it was terrible

[levelshift]

Sounds like a lot of work.

Do you know if we have to do more of that shit?

[God, please god, let him skip the team building and icebreakers.]

[notthatstraight]

it can be
but it's worth it

probably since there's a whole new set of people here now
welcome

[levelshift]

Well, you've got the bullshit down. That's something a hero would spout.

If I wasn't an atheist I'd be asking if we were in hell.

[This sounds a lot like some kind of hell, at least.]

[notthatstraight]

sorry
but honestly being a hero is one of the best things I've ever done

don't know about hell, but I hear Limbo isn't too terrible
depending on who is running it

[levelshift]

Don't fucking apologize when you've got no reason to. If you really are the kind of person that fits the 'hero' label then you're a better person than I am.

I don't think Limbo would require all of us to be so buddy-buddy.

[notthatstraight]

probably not
but I'm not an expert so I wouldn't know

[levelshift]

I'm a lot more familiar with the science side of things.

[notthatstraight]

never know when that will come in handy
I've found it helps to have people who can cover both sides if you need it

[levelshift]

Yeah.

I have someone in my employ who covers the magic and religion side of things. It's a pain in the ass that she isn't here.

[He misses his precious trash demon daughter.]

[notthatstraight]

I've got other teammates for things like that as well
America would be fantastic here now as she can kick and punch holes into other dimensions
I don't think anyone else from my team would be a big help right now

[levelshift]

How does she punch holes into other dimensions? Is that science or magic?

[notthatstraight]

good question
I have no clue
but it's pretty awesome to see

[levelshift]

You've never asked?

[notthatstraight]

it's complicated
as far as I know she was born able to do it
and it's based on magic because her whole home world is
but there has to be some other thing going on as she can control it and go specifically where she wants

also she's not sure how she does it, she just does

[levelshift]

That all?

Doesn't sound like it'd be that hard to figure out.

[No??? Not everyone is a walking particle accelerator and he knows this, he's just being an ass.]

[notthatstraight]

well if she shows up I'll let you do the figuring
and it's never been that big of a deal
as long as she can get us where we need to go

[levelshift]

That'd be fine. I'm more familiar with dimensional travel, so extending that knowledge to travel across universes should be possible. It could be fucking useful around here.

[notthatstraight]

it really would
if her powers work here
Billy's magic doesn't let him do everything he should be able to
