Alright, so, I was out earlier trying to find a store that sold Hispanic foods (I found one, so there's one problem taken care of) in the hopes that either my debit card would work here (no) or that $17.48 would be enough to buy everything I needed (yes) and I happened upon a movie theater with a help wanted sign in the ticket kiosk.

...Which is great. That's exactly what I needed. But I'm sort of curious about whether they're going to be able to check any of my references? Does anyone ever check references or is sweeping up popcorn and Mike & Ike such a menial task that anyone capable holding a broom could do it? I mean, sure, it'd be nice if my former managerial position could mean something more than $7.50/hr and filling sodas for eight hours a day, but should I hold out much hope?

Also, I know it's summer and it's about two years too late chronologically, but I can see the NYU campus from here and it's kind of getting me right in the feelings. This was supposed to be the future for me and now it's the past and I totally missed it. It's weird. And I've coped with weird before, but this is really weird. It's just right there and there's nothing I can do about it.

I suppose this is better than the possible alternative, though. Considering all the shit the keeps happening back at home and the notable lack of masked killers around here, this is almost good. And then I look out and see those purple Tisch banners and I'm just like... damn.

What kind of world do you come from where there's a year and a half long murder spree? And my congratulations on being able to do that, by the way.

Other than Flash being a jerk in decathlon meetings, I can't say I've had any experience with dudes getting uppity in clubs. I can see where that would come in handy in that, and other, situations. Especially with that year and a half long murder spree tidbit!

Lakewood, Louisiana. It's pretty normal, as far as I can tell. I mean, in 2014, which was the year the murders started, there were an estimated forty active serial killers in the United States; half of them with three or more murders already. We just happened to have had two - or possibly three - of them in our town at the same time. It's statistically rare but not unheard of. GSK and Ramirez were operating in the same area at the same time and they didn't know each other. But then, California also tops the list for most active serials.

I don't think I'd floor a guy just for being a jerk in decathlon meetings, but I did smash my best friend's ex-boyfriend into the ground once in a self-defense seminar. He had it coming.

Hm. That's pretty interesting actually.

It wouldn't be worth it long term to try. Was he an ass?

My friend Noah is the real expert on serial killers. He's kind of an expert on a lot of things, though. Super smart. Super dorky. Amazing writer. He just needs someone like me to steer him back on course once in a while. He gets very excited about things. Like a puppy.

Yeah. Total dickbag. But her next boyfriend wasn't exactly an upgrade, and the fling after that was almost as bad. I'm starting to think we need to do background checks on anyone she shows even a vague interest in because she seems to be a magnet for psychopaths.

If your friend's name was Peter, I was going to Yeah, some of us, we just get exited about the things we're passionate about. Which I'm assuming you understand, which is cool. And he sounds like a cool friend.

Her potential boyfriends definitely need to be vetted if this is a trend with the guys she dates. For her own sanity, if nothing else.

I totally understand. I get excited about things too. Maybe not quite as much as Noah, but we were always a good balance for each other. He kind of tempered my cynicism a lot. He's good people. I was actually on my way to see him when I ended up here.

No kidding. We thought the last one was just an eccentric billionaire, but turns out he was a total creep. Like. Stalker creep. And us, stuck on an island with him in the middle of a tropical storm. Bad times.

Well, I'm sorry you never made it to meeting up with him.

That doesn't sound fun at all.

Me too. I hope he isn't sitting there wondering what happened to me.

It is just our luck, man. But we will definitely be vetting any future suitors that come her way. Full background checks on everyone before the first date.

That's what I'm not sure about, what's going on in terms of us. Are we in two places at once somehow? There are people here who seem to know me, but I don't remember meeting them before I came here. They seem to come from different times, and even those I know aren't from the same moment I'm from. So were we somehow copied and pasted into this new place? If so, why and how? And does that mean we're simultaneously existing as we are in two universes and not just the probability of existing in multiple universes with subtle to drastic variations? If so, there's a chance you did make it to hang out with him, but you aren't that you because you were c&p'd prior to getting there. It's a lot to think about, and it just raises more questions than answers, so if you don't think about it, I get it. (I recommend not thinking about it if you don't want your head to hurt.)

Stop them before they even say hi. If they start making eye contact, if they have that look like they want to come say hi, you stop that. Make them fill out the forms to run a background check. Tell them it includes blood work and a urine sample to cover all the bases. And also have them fill out a questionnaire. IF they can pass all that, then they can speak with your friend. And you still stalk them on their first few dates.

I guess it depends on which multiverse theory you believe in. But chances are we're still going about our daily lives back where we came from. Our consciousness just slipped into another version of ourselves in another place. Or we've actually been abducted by aliens and put into a world that looks enough like ours but isn't, hence the kind of uncanny valley feeling, and we're just gone from wherever we were before. Maybe this is what happens to everyone who goes missing and is never found again.

I fully intend to make myself a nuisance to every future boyfriend she has. This is my Emma, we're forever, you're just passing through, so you have to meet my standards as well as hers. I'd say the same for Brooke but she's got a boyfriend and despite him being a total weirdo, he's actually a really good guy. And then there's Noah, who's just hopeless. His taste in girlfriends is almost as bad as mine.

Alien abduction wouldn't surprise me. Might explain a lot. There was a giant ship shaped like a donut on its side over Manhattan right before I got here. Maybe that was actually the ship coming to zap me here.

Weird but good is better than weird but also really bad at least? Is this what'll be said about me if I ever actually date anyone for more than one horrible date? Is this what Liz said to her parents? Oh he's weird, but he's good people weird, not bad people weird? Don't mind his social awkwardness, it's just who he his, but he's smart, so maybe that's why he's so weird? Kinda like Einstein, but his IQ is higher I can't say I've got great luck in that department, either. How is your taste in girls bad, though? If that's not too personal?

Yeah that definitely sounds like a UFO.

I thought he was "weird but also really bad" at first and it turns out I was completely wrong. It's a little more than quirky, but artists are generally kind of like that. And I don't have room to talk either. As for my taste... My last girlfriend was really possessive and jealous and it just wasn't ever going to work out. And the one before that, she was really sweet, but her parents absolutely hated me. And I mean hated to the extent that I don't think hate is even a strong enough word anymore. They just wanted me gone.

Well, there was an alien invasion when I was a kid, so it wouldn't surprise me at this point. And would explain some things about getting here.

I've noticed that about some artists. The quirky or a little more than quirky thing. As long as he treats her well. And that sounds... toxic. I'm glad you guys aren't together just so you're not stuck with that toxicity. And that's an intense amount of hate. I get parents not liking who their kids date, but that's... wow. Just wanting someone gone? Just the implication with that word? That's harsh. I'm sorry things didn't work out with her.

Well that narrows it down tremendously. Really? What kind of aliens? Like, were they basic greys or were they more Flatwoods Monster-y? Or did they look like normal people? I think the last one would trip me out the most because it just doesn't make sense and if they did look like us that would just mean that they had developed some kind of technology or evolved an ability or something in order to blend in on earth.

Nah, Stavo is a super decent dude. I don't worry about him at all.

But yeah, it's... I just broke up with Gina, like, the day I got here. So it feels very strongly like I'm running away from whatever blowback might happen. And that might not be a bad thing. Rachel, though. Her mom didn't want her to date cause they were uber religious and we were only sixteen, but she really did not want her to date me. In her mind, I was the corrupting influence from the wrong side of the tracks and I was going to lead her daughter straight to Hell or some ridiculous Catholic bullshit like that. My dad even talked to her mom and my dad is a pastor. Like, you'd think he could communicate on her level. Nope. I was still the human incarnate of the devil. So we snuck around for a few months. And then We might have decided eventually to just be friends but we didn't get I don't think it was meant to last. What first romance is?

I was little, so I can't remember everything, but they were bipedal, kind of reptilian but more warrior like. They had a lot of high tech things, and I think they might have had some kind of cybernetic enhancements. The high tech things were their weapons and ships. The weapons were like energy rifles? Like they didn't shoot bullets but concentrated energy? And they came in these ships that were really fluid. It looked like they were swimming in the air, and there were like flying moped like things they rode to zoom around. There were just so many of them, and they just kept going. Pretty sure they had a hive mind, though, because Iron Man went through the portal over New York and then they all just... stopped. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Color wise, they were more greys and pale greens I think. Kind of like metal. That doesn't make sense, but that's how I remember it. And their faces were like... kind of like a bird's skull with the external nares and with teeth in the "beak" area. It's more the shape, I guess? Also I've heard of some aliens who can shape shift to look like anyone or any species.

I mean, if Gina was jealous and possessive, it really might not be a bad thing to just conveniently wind up here and not have to deal with that breakup backlash.

Even if it wasn't meant to last, that still sucks. Parents who don't like who you date can really ruin things. Especially when they're not willing to be open and get to know the person their kid's dating. And I don't get that whole going to hell for loving someone thing. Or telling people that. Who are you to decide that? Who are you to interpret a text written in a language during a time vastly different than the one you're living in? Written by people. I'll never understand that as anything but some stupid hate and control thing.

Chitauri? Sounds like Chitauri.

I can't say I'm disappointed that I don't have to deal with it. I just hope that whatever version of me got left back there is doing a decent job.

Yeah, well. People can be dicks. And they're really bad at translating scripture. Seriously. My dad can rant for weeks on bad translations. It's one of my favorite things to get him started on because he just gets so heated over it. He's not quite a brimstone-style preacher but man when he does get started... It's impressive. And I'm an atheist.

Yeah! How'd you know? Are we from the same universe?

I'll cross my fingers for her. Maybe she's making the best of it.

That sounds pretty impressive. I'm curious about his rants now. And I'm... agnostic, I guess? I don't not believe in a higher being (I've seen too much in 16 years to think there isn't something), but I don't know who or what that is. I mean, there's Thor and that whole group, but I don't know what else is out there. I don't know who else is out there. And I don't see why it couldn't be God or just a god, like this entity thing. I'm definitely open to the idea. But I also don't dismiss anyone else's beliefs. That'd just be a dick move, and, anyway, who am I to say what is and isn't "correct" with what someone believes? Mostly, don't be a dick, don't hurt people, and try to do your best to help out others if and when you can.

Nah, I'm just really into aliens.

Yeah. I'm pretty good with whatever everyone believes as long as they're not using it to be cruel to people. Faith isn't a weapon. But people like to try to make it into one. And me, y'know, I like to think about energy and consciousness and how complex the universe is and either that had to be specifically designed by something to work that way or it was just a random accident. I'm okay with it being an accident. Just space dust smashing together at the right time and in the right place. It's sort of beautiful. There's so much possibility in that. Anything is possible.

That doesn't really explain Oh okay.

Exactly. Faith isn't a weapon. Differences aren't a reason to be cruel. The universe (well, universes) is (are) so complicated that it seems like anything is possible. If there's a higher being at the top of the higher being list (highest being I guess?), cool. And, if not, cool. Because, like you said, it's kinda beautiful if everything coalesced the way it did by accident or some higher math that we haven't fully begun to understand yet.

Yeah, if there is a highest being... I mean, I don't think we could ever comprehend it and I get that religion, as a cultural function, is a way to understand things that are that much bigger than us. But I just never had much use for it? Besides, I come from a mixed-faith family, when you're raised with three different faiths it's kind of easy to see where they all overlap and just apply it in a secular way. Like, the tenants are nice, but man the fandom sucks.

Sometimes the worst things about religion are the people who practice it. Not everyone! Just the loud assholes. I don't want to participate in that type of fandom. I'll just enjoy my Star Wars fandom instead.

There are loud assholes who are atheists too, though. I try not to be one of them, try to keep an open mind with everyone and everything, but I'm also not afraid to call out either side when they're being dicks. There's just not enough time in the day to be that bitter.

And I, the human coffee bean, know a thing or three about bitter. So take it from me.
