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

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.

Not like that!

[luckynumber42]

Not like what?

[Honestly Dipper you are just digging yourself a hole here. Miles barely has to do anything. He doesn't even know what you're talking about any more, he is genuinely asking this question.]

[ursawhiner]

[Dipper's just going to bury his face in his hands and make inarticulate frustrated noises.]

[luckynumber42]

...you okay, man?

[ursawhiner]

Just... don't do it. Trust me.

[luckynumber42]

[He laughs a little.]

Alright, alright, point made, man. I won't keep a list of conversation transitions with me.

[ursawhiner]

I-it's for your own good!

[Oh no, he sounds like an old man.]

[luckynumber42]

I get it, man. Don't worry, I'll make sure I don't do anything. For the good of the people.

[ursawhiner]

That's superhero thinking. You're a natural.

[luckynumber42]

[HAHA. HAHA. HA. Miles tries to shrug it off casually but his laughter was a little too nervous.]

Well, my world is full of superheroes. It's kinda like taking a crash course in 'em.

[ursawhiner]

Whoa, really? Is it like here?

[Hopefully less wacky.]

[luckynumber42]

Kind of? We don't have as many heroes--at least, not any more. And we had more futuristic looking tech and stuff.

[Which isn't saying much, when he's in a world that still uses honest to god rotary phones.]

[ursawhiner]

We don't have any superheroes where I'm from. At least, that I know of. They might be super secret or something.

[There are a lot of secret things in Gravity Falls.]

[luckynumber42]

Secret superheroes?

I thought the point of superheroes is that they wear really not-secretive bright costumes and stuff.

In my world, we have super secret super-people too, but they're their own separate thing, I guess. We don't really call them superheroes.

[At least, he's...he's pretty sure there are some people with powers in SHIELD. He's not unconvinced that Nick Fury, at least, doesn't have some kind of power. Super-intensity. Super-asskicking.]

[ursawhiner]

See, maybe we just have superheroes without the costumes! And we don't know about it.

[Dipper's already found a secret society, it's not that farfetched.]

[luckynumber42]

...But then they're not superheroes.

[He doesn't think you're getting this concept, Dipper.]

[ursawhiner]

Is there some kind of superhero handbook somewhere?

[Can't you just call yourself a superhero and you're a superhero?]

[luckynumber42]

N...o?

[Miles started out with nothing but a Halloween costume and a DVD of that Spider-Man movie that was only half real footage.]
