Did you know that in New York, you can't take a selfie with a tiger? Technically speaking, it's illegal for anyone who owns a tiger, lion, leopard, or any kind of cat that's not a housecat to knowingly allow the public to have direct contact with those animals. You know, since they're wild animals.

[Foggy huffs out a laugh. He's having a slow day in the office at the moment, and there's a list of weird laws pulled up on his laptop that he's apparently reading off. He chortles at a couple, shaking his head.]

And hey, here's a good one: in Washington, if you find Bigfoot, it's illegal to kill him. I'm serious! You'd be guilty of a misdemeanor and then you'd end up facing either a huge fine or jail time for killing Bigfoot. I know, it's nuts, but it's the law.

[He snorts out another laugh, leaning back into his chair.]

Anyway, I'm having a pretty slow day and I've reorganized my files twice over for something to do, so I just wanna ask: do you know if your world has any really weird laws?

And, oh, yeah, I think it's around that time new imPorts start coming in, so: welcome to bizarro America! Or just America if it doesn't exist for you. If you have questions, Ken Kaneki Ported out just recently, but his FAQ's still up, and if you ask another imPort for it we'll send you the link.

Gackt who? But I'm not surprised about Keanu Reeves, honestly.

Yeah, we definitely have people with super-strength and flight. And as for the Avengers—okay, years back there was this incident where an alien fleet went through literal, actual holes in the sky and basically tore New York City up. The Avengers, at the time, were just six people, but they managed to turn the fleet back, save the city and capture the guy responsible for it all.

There was also this thing in Sokovia—a whole country got raised up in the air, and if it dropped then it would've been really bad for Sokovia and a good chunk of the world in general. The Avengers managed to avert that, too—that, I wasn't there for, but it was all over the news for a few weeks.

Gackt is a popular musician in Japan. He had an early start in the Visual Kei style, and rock. I think he's an actor now? But the rumours got started back in his Visual Kei days, and people claim he hasn't aged a day in over a decade now.

Oh wow. So they're world-class superheroes then? That sounds like some really hardcore stuff to deal with. And only six of them were needed to stop an alien invasion? That's jaw-droppingly powerful.

Either he's really good at makeup, has a plastic surgeon on speed dial, or he's immortal.

Yeah, at the time there really were just six of them to deal with the alien invasion, it wasn't like there were a whole lot of other choices. From what I hear they've added a couple more people to the count, but that's a little further into the future from where I'm at.

That's something impressive right there.

Speaking of impressive? Holy shit. And here I felt loads of pressure when I was sent out on way less dangerous missions with only five or six other people. I mean, I wasn't doing good things at the time, but that doesn't make the idea of failure any less terrifying. Being one of six people who could save the world at the time... That must have had one hell of an effect on them after. Even before you take into account how people get jerk-y about it later.
