[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.

most people aint superheroes here, kid

[ Even if this place likes to call imPorts superheroes. Joel sure doesn't view himself as a superhero, that's for damn sure. ]

[luckynumber42]

Really? It feels like everyone I talk to here is a superhero. Or was one back home.

[shittybirthday]

everyone is called a superhero here but that dont mean they necessarily view themselves as one

[luckynumber42]

I mean, it feels like everyone I talk to here is the bright tights and capes kind of superhero.

[shittybirthday]

not me
or most the people i know here

[ Which isn't very many people because Joel is an antisocial ass, but. ]

[luckynumber42]

Oh.

Then maybe it's just 'cause the world I came from had superheroes too. Seeing them all over the place was already just like an average day at home.

[shittybirthday]

well that puts you a step ahead of most people who first wind up here
sure aint no superheroes back where i'm from, or for a lot of other people for that matter

[luckynumber42]

Oh, right.

Was it weird, seeing superheroes for the first time here?

[shittybirthday]

uh
"weird" is putting is lightly

[luckynumber42]

Was it the costumes?

It was the costumes that made it weird, wasn't it.

[Even for someone like Miles, who grew up with superheroes, the costumes often seemed...a little out there. He can't imagine how strange they must be to someone who never had superheroes to begin with.]

[shittybirthday]

the costumes were the least weirdest part

[ And the costumes had weirded Joel the hell out, but nowhere near as much as the whole superpower thing. ]

[luckynumber42]

Oh.

Wait, really?
