NO EXITS

Now this is more like it! I hope. Oh I just jinxed this all, didn't I? I feel like I just jinxed it.

Anyways, I guess first thing's first. Hi, I'm Ben. I got here last week, but totally felt I missed whatever window there was for an intro because, well, y'know, the ghosts and all.

I have a few errands I need to do, but in the spirit of collaboration, where my techies and mechanics at? I drew up some schematics of what we had for cryo-pods back home and this seems like a good place to do some scavenging for supplies. Luckily, at least for what I was looking at, the harder to find stuff won't be a worry thanks to Elsa being so cool, but I was thinking some more permanent structures as well as some monitoring devices could be a good addition, as then they could also double as stasis pods to maybe keep any badly hurt people stable until we can get the healers in to help. Obviously that's just one project and I'm sure there's other back up supplies that everyone could use.

This is New York City, 1983.

Don't fool yourself. This city is dangerous right now. Homelessness and crime are huge problems that were not dealt with in any way that was remotely helpful. Be careful on the subways. Homicides were double what they were in my current time. Drugs were highly prevalent. All those movies about NYC being a gritty place to get a beat down, like Taxi Driver? Yes.

For you vigilante types, you'll enjoy getting to kick some butt.

For you who want to chill out, Central Park (where we've landed) is not the place to do that.

MCU LOKI:

Care to fill me in on what happened?

[PRIVATE TO REY]

Back with us?

[PRIVATE TO LOKIS]

I'm not a carrot, so I assume that no one is a radish. Plz confirm.

Is it over? Are the ghosts all gone?

Also, where are we and where can I get pounds of meat to cook? I woke up with a particular craving.

I guess I got all overly confident and then went and died on you. At least that's what I think happened.

Sorry for missing the end-of-the-week starry night date.

[IKOL]

Are we still on for a meal together since we actually find ourselves in, what I presume to be, a New York?

Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion.

It is currently a brisk 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Please wear a sweater or jacket if you are going outside. There is also a 50% chance of rain. Bring an umbrella.

Is anyone in need of medical assistance?

I have also been informed that my hugs are particularly soothing for those with emotional distress.

RICHIE:

I hope you'll give me a day to tour around the city and explain things.

Our frie

Does that happen a lot? People just disappearing?

IKOL:

Don't futz with me today. I'm not in the mood.

So. Last week was terrible.

As much as I normally love this city, who wants to check out what Hawaii in the 80s was like and sip piña coladas on the beach?

Someone will pay for I'll be away from the campus for the week, unless I'm needed.


[TJ]

Are you alright?

If anyone needs help getting some cash for this week, let me know ASAP. I don't plan on sticking around the city very long.

[ETHAN]

Can we get out of town this week?

PRIVATE TO QUENTIN COLDWATER

What are your thoughts on the Hawaii discussion?

Anyone get wind of any jerks who might need a comeuppance, let me know.

[Leverage]

As a black man, I'm not exactly looking forward to New York in the 80s, but as someone who misses running cons on those who deserve it, I can't help but want to do a few if we can.

I always wanted to visit New York. It being in the 80s makes me feel a little old. Anyone have any suggestions on sights to see?

[Bruce]

I know this isn't exactly your world, but care to take a girl out on the town?

Hot Tip!: Apparently bottomless brunch in this world includes mimosas. Just downed twenty in less than an hour.

To Those in the Know: These nasty pond water looking bratwursts people peddle out of a cart — hosts of bacterial infections or undiscovered delicacies? Also how many times can I ride the underground train with a single ticket before one of the long mustachioed gentlemen in the funny caps tells me to get off?

(after steve's attempt to ET phone home)

What the hell? I got attacked by a squirrel AND a piece of flying paper.

Anyone want to tell me what's going on? This doodad is AMAZING! Look I can make little people 🤖

My first thought about this world: at least it's not the 60s.

My second is realizing our 3rd birthday would have just passed. And now I feel old.

You ever wonder if there's a possibility that we could land in OUR world again and end up running into younger father dearest again?

Are you doing okay? I know he was a friend.

Rumor has it (hah) that the ghosts are not entirely gone. I guess that might potentially call for a replenishing of that protective charm?

Assuming it doesn't once again lead you to being attacked and then acting like you're totally fine and telling everyone not to assess you.
