How are you settling in to good ol' small-ish town Texas?

While there's a break in big weird things happening and upping the stress levels, I figured it's a good time to ask: how are you holding up?

	You call this a break? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If it's not Paraguayan boogeymen or kidnapping fairies, it's birdvengers and curse burgers. Oh and party-crashing parents of the not-dead-yet variety. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, just that? Yeah, definitely a break then. Considering, minus the boogeymen, most of those are lulling. For now. And hey, just one parent at least. Although multiple Howards has actually never been a thing. Go figure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your Howard ever turned up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. It's usually just this variety that shows up. At least in my experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know this particular vintage has been here before ~~sniffing around Peggy Carter~~. So you've never encountered him in his post-leisure suit years? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only from video files in archives when I was in that version of your world I landed in first. But that was all staged appearances. Only meet and greets in the flesh I've gotten are with this vintage, although give or take a few years. First one was coming off his searching the ocean for Cap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Definitely the former. He seemed to think a "mediator" might be necessary, so I'm dragging Peter Parker along as a buffer. Go big or go home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like to have options. He's read up on his history and mine, so that's a plus-sized, purple elephant in the room. Might make things easier going in. Then again, maybe not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, if the Parker you're bringing with you is like any of the ones I met, he'll definitely fill any awkward moment.

At least be glad that time with you in the fountain isn't on youtube here. That was at the top of my google search during my first world jump.

Whether it's easier or not would depend how much you two are into skirting around the topic really. Which at least seems like it's less a thing now really. I swear, getting a straight answer out of either of you was a pain that first world. Googling was ten times easier, even if I had to wade through tabloids.

It'll be good though. It can be good. Awkward but good.

	Those movies have made YouTube a whole different kind of minefield. TBD. It should be fine. It's not like he's got much to go on anyway. I'm the one with a lifetime of grievances. Which I'm not looking to air, especially with Parker there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Less public humiliation and more private moments you never really want public. Ah and another function of Parker. Real life filter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not to mention something called a fanvid. Kid could probably use one himself, but it's part of his charm. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, I think it could use some better restaurants and some more nightclubs. Maybe a casino. All in all... It's a bit small for me. How are you doing? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Be glad you came in when you did. It used to be smaller and even worse in terms of variety of restaurants. Plus side, Vegas isn't too far if you're really itching for a casino. Although if it's just cards and betting you're after, there's plenty here who would oblige.

Oh, same old, same old. A bit better now that these curses people have been under look like they're getting reversed.

	I like the social scene myself. Not just winning at poker, but being seen winning at poker. Dollars and dames. I hope Steve gets his reversed soon. Six inches tall. I keep thinking of building something to help him out, but chances are he'll be back to normal before I'm done. Anyone else here unusually small? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, don't know about the dames, but the dollars are definitely around.

He should. Most of the others who got shrunk are back to their usual size now. Unless the fairies had one extra trick up their sleeves, but he should be fine.

My boyfriend was. Which, really, not that much fun. Luckily he's got a flying Pokemon, so he at least could get around easier without help, plus he's got his sister and friend living at his place if he did need help. I'm glad he's back to normal size though.

	Might be worth investigating, then. Dollars tend to bring dames. ~~Boyfriend?~~ Glad to hear it. That's he's back to normal, that is. A flying what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Things have changed a bit in the dames department. At least the ones you'll find around here.

Pokemon. Variety of other universe creature. They're from a popular game (well multiple games) and tv show. Trainers catch and battle them with the intent of 'catching them all' and getting gym badges. There's a version for the game for your phone now too called PokemonGo. When we were on an other world cruise, we ended up on an island where Pokemon were real and we could catch them ourselves and keep one. His flies and is actually make up of computer coding. Mine's a tiny mouse that can absorb and give off electricity.
