on going to multiversal.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Well.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one, okay? 'Sort of like New York kind of' isn't actually as good as 'New York'.

Speaking relatively, I guess.

I've always felt New York is overrated.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Oh? I wasn't intending to do a lot of sight seeing, if that's what you mean.

[caballero]

Not really.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Okay. Overrated how?

[caballero]

By virtue of not being New Jersey.

[cestrumnocturnum]

I'm not sure anyone can save the world in New Jersey, to be fair.

[apotropaic]

I think it would be more accurate if you substitute 'sort of like' for 'on LSD.' Or so I hear.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Goodness, that's-- exciting?

[apotropaic]

Yeah, let's stick with that for now. And maybe along the way we'll also get to find out what purple tastes like.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Oh, well, I've always wondered.

[apotropaic]

Let's hope hope they don't go for the obvious choice of grape. I would be seriously disappointed.

[cestrumnocturnum]

But if they go with... like, lime, that may be too much to handle.

[wearethewilds]

It's "sort of like New York" the way a hot dog is "sort of like spaghetti".

They're both food and don't have meat in them.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Oh. Really?

That's not better.

[wearethewilds]

Fight the good fight, brother. Don't let her drop you in this shithole.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Is it so bad?

[wearethewilds]

Let me think. Some Illuminati crap guild just laid siege to part of the city, then the sky opened up and started raining fucking monsters on us.

But hey, the shopping's just delightful.

[cestrumnocturnum]

Wouldn't they die on impact? Besides the. Flappy ones. I guess they can fly.

[ Yes, she realised halfway how stupid that began to sound. ]

Sorry. Working on coping mechanisms preemptively.

[gramarye]

I think I agree with you, but all I know of New York is from TV, so I might be biased?

[cestrumnocturnum]

She's probably talking about the bit with political strife and superpowers and you know, that's really not the best part. I should know.

[gramarye]

What, and... she's using that as a selling point?

That's alarming.

[cestrumnocturnum]

It's...

Yeah, it is. I just had things to do. But I think that's a vast underestimation of my ability to take a break, to be honest.

[gramarye]

It would be nice if it were a break. I suspect you're going to be just as busy. Um, that doesn't help, does it.

[wontturntofoam]

Are you quite certain about that? It might turn out to be better than New York?

[cestrumnocturnum]

Yes, that's true. But, you know, home is where the heart is?
