[video, ID: "miles morales"] frank sinatra plays softly in the distance

[luckynumber42]

So, this is gonna sound kinda random, but. I've been wondering for a little while...what's New York like here? I just wanna know if it's anything like the New York from my world.

Actually, now that I think about it--how does the New York here compare to New York where you came from? If you've ever been there, I mean. 'Cause now I'm wondering about all the different versions of it we probably know.

I've never been to my world's version of New York! But the one here was pretty nice from what I saw at the party last month.

[luckynumber42]

Oh, that's right! There was that thing in New York last month. Man, I can't believe I missed that!

What was all of that about, again?

[viced]

It's...pretty similar to the New York I'm from, mostly.

[ New York feels!!! ]

The one here feels the same, at least.

[luckynumber42]

What was the New York you're from like?

New York here is pretty neat! They flew us in for the last Swear-In. My friend won a skateboarding owl.

[luckynumber42]

A...skateboarding owl? Like, a live owl that can ride a skateboard?

I spent a couple weeks up in New York after that thing at the Ashen Tree. It's pretty sweet.

[luckynumber42]

Whoa, a couple weeks? What'd you do?

[notdaredevil]

Less supervillains, for a start. And less property damage.

voice;

[luckynumber42]

I guess that means it's different from my New York already. Man, I can't even imagine what that must be like.

[selfequipped]

Similar restaurants. I recommend McGillen's if you ever have a chance to go! But it's a lot quieter than back home.

[Because, yes, a complete lack of supervillains and people swinging through the air.]

[luckynumber42]

Got it, McGillen's. I'll remember that if I ever go there.

[By which he means, 'when.' Because he's pretty sure that's going to happen at some point, he just doesn't want to admit it on a network he knows that supervillains can use.]

less dead people

Man, what happened to New York on your world?

[heavyhitter]

this version is shitty

[luckynumber42]

Like how? What's your version got?

[beautstrength]

I've yet to visit this one, myself. But the one I did visit had the Statue of Liberty, and a great throng of tourists, and very immense hot dogs.

[ Such things stick out, man. ]

video;

[luckynumber42]

That sounds like New York, alright.

It's not usually that touristy, depending on what part of the city you go to. The hot dogs are like that pretty much everywhere, though.

[resipiscent]

We don't actually have one where I come from. But this one was nice from what I saw, if a little... busy.

[luckynumber42]

'Busy' definitely sounds like New York.

I can't really imagine not having a New York at all, though. Did your world have a big city anything like it?

[notyourfathersosborn]

I went last month for the swearing in ceremony. It was nice. Close enough to my own Manhattan that it made me a little homesick, even if it was missing certain staples like the Baxter Building or Avengers Mansion.

[Oh god. How does this keep happening to him? Is this some spider-curse? Some weird, terrible superpower he didn't know about? Wall-crawling, camouflage, venom sting, and Osborn magnetism. Great.

He doesn't even know why this Norman Osborn looks different to the other Norman Osborn he met here, but he's not about to ask questions. Probably just some weird different-universes thing anyway. He mashes the text button before responding, albeit 5 minutes late.]

That's pretty cool. I've heard of the Avengers before, I didn't know they had a mansion in New York.

[unconchonable]

Considerin' back where I'm from, I'm still from a different uniwerse than Earth is from, so I'we no idea.

But, what? Is this New York so special that all Earths in waryin' uniwerses got to hawe one, or somethin'? Is it some metropolis staple in your human society?

video

[luckynumber42]

Not really? I'm not saying every Earth has to have a New York. I'm just saying that they probably do.

At least, based on what I hear from other people here.

voice

[runningstart]

Well I mean, there's the flying cars and stuff. And the weirdo clothes. That you find anywhere here, that's completely different. Unless you have that stuff back home, then I guess it's the same. Everything's still here, that rockin' pizza shop is still on the corner of 5th and Main...

Still jaywalkers getting super mad at the traffic too, which is hilarious. It's like, crouch! You'll be fine, they won't hit you probably. Maybe ding you on the head.

voice

[luckynumber42]

Yeah...we didn't have any of that. I'm pretty sure we still have the pizza though. I don't know that exact pizza place, but there's still a really good one on Henry between Pineapple and Orange.

[yes, I literally just looked up a pizza place in Brooklyn that has those exact cross-streets.]

[grimreaping]

The city itself is very similar to the New York I'm familiar with, although the same can be true of much of the world. The history and technology isn't the same, but the city itself seems not much different.

video;

[luckynumber42]

So most of the world here is like your world?

[maskedhumanity]

I haven't been to this New York yet, but I assume it's less on fire than the one I left.

audio;

[luckynumber42]

...like--continuously? Like it's been on fire for a while, and it's still on fire?
