Okay, so this is great and all (I mean at first I thought I'd had some bad pot and this was some kind of trip, but it's been three hours and nothing is melting) but where the hell is everyone?

Dad? Nora? I will seriously even take Mr. Friendly Zombie right now. I don't recognize anyone here.

Also, an important question. Where can I get a gun? I'm feeling all kinds of naked without one.

Hi!

[Her own apocalypse hasn't dented her manners either, and she grabs his hand as he holds it out, giving it a firm shake.]

This place is really weird.

Action

[razorback]

Yeah, I know. Though when I first got here, there had just been explosions so it felt pretty normal.

[he drops his backpack, kneels and takes out a hunting knife from it]

Here. Weird stuff happens every so often, but it's not at an apocalyptic level. And like that other guy said, there are superheroes around.

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

Huh. Oh, thanks.

[It's not a gun, but just being armed makes her feel safer. Her shoulders drop and she shrugs them once before checking the blade.]

Superheroes. Am I going to see Superman walking around here? [She's joking. Please don't tell her she's going to see Superman. That goes beyond the level of weird she's prepared to deal with right now.]

Uh... there was an influx of people and one showed up. But I don't think we have a local one.

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

... You're kidding. [She stares. He's not kidding. He's not kidding, is he.] You have to be fucking kidding me.

Action

[razorback]

Nope, not kidding. Sorry.

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

Shoot, and I missed it. [She snaps her fingers.] Oh, well. Who else have we got?

Action

[razorback]

Uuuh, there's a bunch of minor superheroes. I try not to ask, honestly. I figure it's creepy enough to be here without adding "by the way I know all about your backstory" to it.

...

Unless they show up in full-costume, then all bets are off.

[She can't help the little laugh, and she wraps her arms around herself as they stand there.]

I have to be dreaming. Next you'll tell me that you have superpowers too.

[Ben rubs the back of his neck, looking a bit awkward but amused. If Julie were to pay attention, she'd notice spikes on the spot Ben's touching]

Uh.

...

Not exactly?

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Oh, yes. She sees that.

She points. Discretely.]

... What.. is that?

Action

[razorback]

Leftovers from being kidnapped by aliens. Creepy, huh?

Action

[redwinekindofgirl]

Aliens? [She opens her mouth, closes it.] You're not even joking. God, what the hell is this place?
