[The first sound is of someone clearing his throat -- and it comes from every smartphone on the island as they all switch on.]

Mass broadcast function, okay, here goes. Good phone design, by the way, very intuitive. Especially the overrides.

[The volume scales up for a moment, until it echoes off building faces.]

If I could have everybody's attention for just a minute -

[Volume back to normal.]

Why is there a big building in the middle of town with my name on it? Usually I sign papers for those. Maybe draw up plans... the point is, I should have heard about it, and I didn't. Where am I now, Hong Kong? This looks like Lantau Island. Lantau Island? Everybody from Lantau Island, hands in the air.

Okay, now put your hands down and let me know where I am. I can't see you, I'm broadcasting.

Stark.

[sincenewyork]

Hair Metal. You shaved.

[hammerhappy]

On most occasions. I am not ready to look like my father.

[sincenewyork]

It's a tough act to live up to. Mightiest beard in the nine realms.

[hammerhappy]

Among many other mighty things.

[sincenewyork]

More than I needed to know.

[hammerhappy]

It was not a compliment.

Why is it that you do not know of cyborgs? Are you unfamiliar with Doctor Hank Pym?

MAKING WILD HEADCANON ASSUMPTIONS ON MCU ANTMAN

[sincenewyork]

You know Doctor Henry Pym? Actually I don't know why I'm surprised, after Selvig and Foster. Yeah, we've done a few conferences together. Well, I've hosted and/or crashed them; he's presented to a lot of mostly empty rooms and not gotten anywhere.

[hammerhappy]

I see. Then you are just as young.

[sincenewyork]

I'm not following.

[hammerhappy]

In my world, we have been comrades for many years, Stark. But here, you barely know one of our good friends.

Do you know of alternate timelines or continuities, Stark? If not, then I fear I may not be the best to explain it to you.

[sincenewyork]

So that's why the chin?

Starting to catch up.

[hammerhappy]

Aye, I am not surprised that you would.

Do you know of the Loki that is here? That was here before you.

[badnewsboy]

[this is texting Thor from next to Thor.]

You're catching on! Soon you'll be wandering through the highway of information, with a variety of memes, feline still imagery, and ... er, well, don't look at the rest of it.

[hammerhappy]

[Types. Slowly. In Return.]

Is spoken word so out of date, Loki?

[badnewsboy]

Consider it practice. If someone sends you a message of text and you don't reply, it's considered rude.

[hammerhappy]

Aye, but they will learn to come calling, as well.

[badnewsboy]

Shall I call you?

[hammerhappy]

We are roommates. Will there be any need?

[badnewsboy]

The option is available. It'll be fun! We can stay up until all hours of the night talking on our Midgardian communication devices.

[hammerhappy]

But an unnecessary one.

[badnewsboy]

What if you need something from the box of ice?

[hammerhappy]

If I am in need of the sugary frozen milk, I will acquire it myself.

[badnewsboy]

What if I wish for something and some unfortunate circumstance doesn't allow me to move?

[hammerhappy]

You may speak. With your voice. Let us not discuss this further, Loki.
