Seriously? Seriously? We're writing things based on TV Tropes now?

I'm not that much of a nerd despite what everyone else thinks, having some dignity left would be nice.

hang on you said Wanda Pietro and Thor

THOR

T H O R brb just dying now-- wait who's Erik? ...Erik as in Magneto?

screaming deep inside his soul]

Logan is like, Wolverine, right? Ugh all the main Oldvengers are there, I'm gonna bet they're gonna tell us to go home and be kids all over again, they are such—

...Adults.

All the adventures! Everywhere!

[these_fish]

I... think so.

*and he stands up just a bit straighter* They only do that if they have a choice. When the most that they have is... well, me and Raven and Alex and Hank and so on - we can be good enough, it turns out.

*beat*

... although not HAVING to do too many things while there is so much to explore has its good sides, too.

IT WILL BE GLORIOUS but first i must finish this app !!!

[assguardian]

How big is the station, really? I mean, train stations are pretty big, so's the subway system and airports and stuff, but. Is it like a galaxy port or something?

[Oh dear lawrd X-MEN AND SDJFHDLGDFSUGFD

but what if they're jerks

superheroes are usually jerks by default nuuuuu what if he hates them in person

AUGH]

Yes, YES YOU DO! YOU CAN DO IT!

[these_fish]

Em... There is the junkyard, and I didn't get a GOOD look at it, but it's pretty big. Then there are the twelve residential zones, which are... big town sized? I think? And then there are the garden zones. Which are also huge. I mean, one of them has an actual volcano in it...

*yeah, well...

... it's complicated!*

I AM SO LOST RN i haven't rped much since release 88 :E

[assguardian]

...It's practically as big as New York, holy shit.

Wow.

You said junkyard? What's it like in there? No elephant graveyards or anything?

BAWW HEY I AM LOVING WHAT I AM READING AND GOOOO YOU!

[these_fish]

If not more.

And kind of sparsely populated.

And the junkyard-- see. The people who are on the station? We've all come through an inter-dimensional rift. And people aren't the only thing that gets through. Technically, everything and everyone that comes through the rift tumbles out in the junkyard.

So I haven't seen an elephant, but there is... most of what I can imagine and lots of things that I can't, there.

/O/ \O/ \O\ /O/ /O\!!!

[assguardian]

...Hnngh.

So there's an unstable wormhole shooting people in and... where do we land, exactly? How is anything sustained?

Is it really in space?

Oh my gods is it like Asgard, oh dkfjgdfg—

<333333

[these_fish]

Ermmmm. That would so be Hank's cue to take the floor.

Everybody lands in the junkyard. If there is any significant damage, the AI running the place - she's insane, by the way - takes care of it. And, as far as I know, if anybody has something infectious, she may stop it from spreading. And, errr... Well, the whole place is more or less self-sustained. I suppose the air may be cycled through the green of the garden zones or something like that. But there are whole sections of the place which are closed off for people, service areas and tunnels and passages. Like there is maybe a way to physically go from one of the zones to another, but they aren't available, you can only move between zones using the teleports.

There are... sub-AIs, I guess. And, I don't know. Bots? Robots? Cyborgs? Something like that. Who physically run a lot of the place. The former residents... I guess those who survived ran away from the AI. To the planet the station is orbiting.

[Billy takes in a great big inhale, and then gets this look on his face like he'd be putting his chin in his hands any moment.

Starstruck and maybe falling into a Star Trek-like dream - this is how he feels right now.]

I guess all it's missing is the actual supervillain with the self-aggrandizing speeches, right?

Right?

[these_fish]

Well... for the most part? This far?

Although there may have been such things in the past. I'm not positive.

[assguardian]

That's kind of really scary to think about, in retrospect. I mean, this is like having a nemesis pulling the strings from behind a curtain, right?

[these_fish]

See, it is even worse. A nemesis which is pretty much all-powerful at the location. Because she can draw out the air from a zone or... whatever. Open the hatches, decompress the place, or what have you.

It happened before I showed up, but at some point all the teleport modules sprung guns and started shooting at anybody trying to approach them, for example.

[assguardian]

[Billy frowns at that.]

Is there a way out of the place? If that's a thing that happens then it's not gonna be safe for anyone to be there for a length of time, it's just not sane to stay in-- but I'm guessing there isn't a way off, is there?

That's like a genre trope for sci-fi places, it's always NOOO YOU CAN'T LEAVE sort of stuff. That or murderous aliens.

—Are there any?

[these_fish]

There are aliens. I think. But I'm not sure it's the aliens that are murderous. On a general principle.

There are murderous aliens down on the planet, though. Magma worms and other... things. Not enough information if they're sentient, but they're definitely murderous. So it is sort of between two grinding stones.

[assguardian]

[Visibly deflates; that's just wrong to hear, man.] So it's like being on the set of Aliens, only on a bigger ship and with better lighting.

Awesome.

[these_fish]

I ... guess? Many films I haven't seen, man.

Although she *thumb over shoulder* says that if you really want to dork out, I should mention that the other place I am on is Coruscant.

[assguardian]

—Whoah wait, Star Wars. There's a place for that? Are you kidding me, this is real, oh jeez—

Oh, man. [Billy's swooning a little. His player? Rolling her eyes a lot.]

[these_fish]

Yeah. Apparently, giving Luke Skywalker, age thirteen, advice on acne is hilarious. Or so she finds.

[assguardian]

Dude. Dude you could teach him all about the Force and how to be a Jedi or just how to be cooler and avoid the mess that is Hayden Christensen in the movies and just— Wait, Star Wars isn't for another few more years for you, isn't it?

[these_fish]

Yeah, pretty much... I can't.

Plus, she says that 'both Padmé and Anakin are there anyway' - which I take means that he can't really avoid them.

He's sticking around more with some of the Doctor people, though?
