Hey!

[ The boy on the screen is leaning in too close to the camera, but that's just because he's excited. There are even a few blond locks falling out from under his bear-skin hat, ruffled after the drama of arrival. ]

A guy said that there are loads of human cities all over, and I could see for myself if I asked here. Then he gave me this cool phone! Is it true? There are more humans out there? Is everyone human here?

[ Look, she has to give props to another kid wearing animal-skin headgear! ]

... Most people are, yeah. It's really weird.

video!

[punchpunchkisskiss]

[ What is the point of heads if not for rad headgear, or to use as a weapon? ]

Hammacow! That's a lot of humans. Are all the cities this big, too? This place is as big as the whole Candy Kingdom!

[lonewolfatha]

The... 'Candy Kingdom'?

[ ... Ohboy. Is this kid crazy? He's starting to sound a little bit crazy. Wolf tries her best not to sound too skeptical. ]

Y-yeah, most of the cities are pretty big. I'd say that you get used to it, but you really don't. They're just really crowded, and really noisy.

why is that too bad? i'm from ooo. what's a post-apoc? i can't even imagine a billion humans.

[pillz]

[it's a nice change of pace for one's misanthropy to be a helpful educational experience!!.]

apocalypse is when the world [as we know it] 'ends,' usually cuz some magic/science blew up or a asteroid hit the planet.
post- is when life goes on anyway.
human technology & magic fucks up the world usually. toxic fumes in the air, dimensional rifts in the space-time continuum, trash dumps, mutant vegetables.
the other critters of the universe all goin 'please stop' except they
can't talk, whoops

What are you, if not human?

[Not that the person appearing on screen looks human himself, with that weird helmet obscuring his face.]

Video

[punchpunchkisskiss]

Oh, I'm human! I've just never seen so many other humans before. I thought I was the last one for like, forever.

I'm Finn.

[ Hello new friend!! ]

Re: Video

[makeanentrance]

You were alone?

I am Mysterio.

[riptide's voice has a robotic overlay. guess why.]

I'm not! [not even close to what finn asked, but whatever.] What planet are you from? Are you not human?! [it's excitable, rather than accusatory.

...look, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. he's not even in the drawer.]

[punchpunchkisskiss]

I'm human! I'm from Ooo. [ That's the same as a planet, right? He honestly doesn't understand the difference between a planet and a continent. ]

My name's Finn.

[ He is A-OK with this totally derailed conversation topic. ]

Re: voice

[knaval]

[he'll take it as a planet. there are weirder names out there!]

I'm Riptide. I didn't know they had humans anywhere else.

[youarespecial]

Not all of us.

[punchpunchkisskiss]

[ He's actually a little relieved to see a scaly green face. The more he thinks about the magnitude of the human population here the more nervous he gets. ]

You know, I think that's a good thing. It's not so different from home. Just... really different. Really really different.

[youarespecial]

That a fact?

[genuinewrestleboy]

Uh, what else would there be? Are you alone wherever you're from?

[punchpunchkisskiss]

Nah, of course not! But like, the Candy Kingdom is mostly all candy people. The Fire Kingdom is all flame bros, and Wildberry Kingdom is all berry peeps, and my family is all dogs, except my bio-mom is a computer now and Martin got bloop-blooped away by the Catalyst Comet, and BMO and NEPTR are like my sons but they're both robots, and I'm pretty sure there's just the couple of islands with humans on them.

[ This explains everything. ]

[harvesthoney]

Hi! I'm Lacey.

There are a lot of humans here, but not all. On my world, everyone was human. It's fun to meet all the different people here. Did the guy tell you about the porters that can take you to different cities?

video

[punchpunchkisskiss]

What?

[ He definitely told Finn. Finn was not paying attention. ]

I can just zip-zap to another city? That's banoonoonoonoonoos!

Video

[devilishly_handsome]

There are loads of human cities here! And not everyone is human. I'm not, of course, but all the natives are human and most of the imPorts are, too.

Video

[punchpunchkisskiss]

That's ba-nay-nay. That's so many humans!

video

[measuringdicks]

Of course there’s humans everywhere, why wouldn’t there be? [A pause.] Wait, are you like a fucking alien or something, is that why you wanna know?

video

[punchpunchkisskiss]

No, I'm a human. I just didn't know there were so many still left! I've only seen one human city, and it wasn't nearly as big as this one.

Video

[floatsaway]

Mhm, most people I've come across are human here, yes, even if a few of them may look a little different!!

[Which is just, you know...normal. By her standards, anyway, considering Ochako does indeed come from Earth herself, but the superpowered quirks people have tend to give them an altered physical body sometimes. Hell, one of her classmates has a raven's head for fuck's sake (love you, Tokoyami-kun).]

If you want, I can show you how to go through the Porters!! They'll take you just about anywhere you want in the major cities here, and I could do for a bit more exploring myself. Did you just arrive here?

Video

[punchpunchkisskiss]

They will?

[ The more he hears about these porter things the cooler they sound. If the guy who welcomed him had sprinkled in some of this stuff Finn would've paid way more attention to him. ]

That sounds awesome! Yeah, I'd love to go out! I've just been wandering around since I got here this morning.
