It's a pleasure to meet you, mun, really, honestly, truly, I'm seriously serious, it's great, I'm sure you're a great upstanding person and...

Look, the problem is that I just don't really have time to focus on... Um, you know, things outside of me, you know, areas of expertise.

So, that means, none of those games where it's the apocalypse (PLEASE), I'd prefer if we avoided Alternate Universes where any more of my friends are dead, you know... Or we could just avoid playing games all together. Would that be alright?

Great, awesome, thank you ever so much for being so understanding, you're great!

I do understand your trepidation, I felt much the same way when I first arrived. However, I fear protesting does very little to dissuade these muns. But there are a great many worlds you can visit that are not as traumatic, and some of them are quite enjoyable!

Still, if you think it would help, I could keep my fingers crossed that you get your wish and you are not taken to a game?

[invisiblesandwich]

Wasabi! [BEAMING]

Hey, you could take a risk ONCE in a while, right?

[onetimepeople]

Hey, Freddie!

[eye roll] You know, we take plenty of risks with the whole fighting crime thing, I don't really need to add more risks into my daily risk-reward chart.

[invisiblesandwich]

We do, yeah! Isn't it awesome!

...you made a chart?

[onetimepeople]

Are you kidding me? I've had the basics of the daily risk-reward chart since I was in the eighth grade!

[invisiblesandwich]

You're the best, Wasabi. You are the actual, literal, BEST.

[onetimepeople]

Thanks, Freddie, you're pretty great yourself!

[actualise]

Are you really saying you wouldn't want to see some of the totally sweet tech out there?

[onetimepeople]

Tadashi!! I heard you were kicking around here in this meta-space but I didn't expect to see you here! It's really... It's really good to see you!

Ah, well, you know. I mean, you make a powerful argument for... But, no! I mean, yes, but...!

[actualise]

It's good to see you too, Wasabi.

[ He actually wasn't expecting you at all so this is a great surprise, but Tadashi holds up his hands, relenting with a laugh. ]

I'm just saying! It's worth thinking about!

[onetimepeople]

Jeeze, I... I mean, I really miss you sometimes, bud.

[No crap, I mean, obviously I wasn't... Well, I mean. You know, I'm sure you know.]

Okay, well, maybe I... Yeah, I could give it some thought instead of just... Dismissing it out of hand, I guess!

[actualise]

[ He gets it, and he steps closer to elbow Wasabi companionably. ]

I'm right here, buddy. That's kind of the magic of this place.

[spaghettiinmysoul]

G-g-god ya don't g-g-gotta be so nice to 'em.

Say yer gonna kick 'em in the pants.

[onetimepeople]

Hey, there's a place for everything, and everything is in it's place. And my place is here... Not being shipped off to some alternate reality where everything is awful. Right?

But that doesn't mean I have to be... barbaric about it or anything. We can peacefully co-exist, me and my mun!

[spaghettiinmysoul]

... They're gonna eat you alive, kiddo.

Nah really, k-k-kick 'em in the pants.

[onetimepeople]

Wait, what? Who? Who is going to... No eating!

[spaghettiinmysoul]

It's a figure a'speech, kid. Meanin' somethin' else other than what I was s-s-s-sayin'.

Like 'knocked 'em outta the park' r 'I stole your pez dispensers again'.

Means a totally different thing.

[onetimepeople]

Hey, whoa, I understand figures of speech, okay, I just didn't actually realize you were using one in this particular case 'cause I've kinda... I've seen some stuff, man, cannibals aren't outside the realm of the possible!

[spaghettiinmysoul]

Nah, figure o'speech. Ain't real.

Ain't got n-n-n-nuthin' to do with cannibals. Just meanin' man yer mun is gonna mess you up, b-b-buddy.

[lasereyes]

You should find the alternate world where we are spies! Or something just as cool as that. There's unlimited possibilities, Wasabi!

[onetimepeople]

But I like this world, where we're like... Superheroes! Right?

Unlimited possibilities is just a few too many for me.

[lasereyes]

You could be a superhero spy! No one would know who you really are.

I like us as superheroes, too! I told you guys it could happen! No one ever believes me.

[onetimepeople]

I mean, I guess, but I'm not exactly the low-key sort, you know. You'd probably make a much better spy... Or, wow, you know, GoGo, if she... Um. Wanted.

I'm a lot more inclined to believe you now!

[lasereyes]

I'd be an awesome spy, but don't sell yourself off on it! Practice is all it takes. Heyyy, we should do that! I'm pretty sure GoGo is up to something because she told me to go away when I was trying to talk to her yesterday. We should find out what! Wanna help me?

[He already knows exactly what to wear to do this!]

[onetimepeople]

I know you would, man. I mean, I guess, though I'm not exactly built for stealth, you know?

GoGo always tells you to go away, especially if she's busy... That doesn't mean she's up to something...

[I may be willing to practice spy stuff but... Not against GoGo...]

[lasereyes]

You never know until you try. You could be the world's best Ninja spy with lasers and you'd never know it! You can't give up yet! I'll help you create your tragic back story covers!

But the way she told me to go away was suspicious this time. She even looked over her shoulder at something.

(We could follow Baymax around!)

[onetimepeople]

I guess you're right, Fred! I shouldn't give up on stuff before I try! Not after I've already learned how much is possible...

You always think that, not everyone is plotting something!

[Okay, Baymax I'd be willing to practice spying on. He's not too likely to cut our heads off if we get caught!]

[lasereyes]

Never give up! That is any superhero's motto. Or it should always be. Only in dire situations should you stop believing it, but even then, there's always something or someone to help!

I'm always plotting something, why wouldn't everyone else be, too?

(But we won't get caught! We are going to be superspies! I can just feel it.)

[thehirohewanted]

I would wish you luck, but I'm pretty sure we're doomed in some sense of the word no matter what.
