Not that I'm not flattered, and I mean, the job is great and all that. It's nice to know I have a way to support myself. But I think they got the wrong Gothamite. I can do computers, but I'm not really the hero type.

I'd say about how I was in the middle of stuff but that doesn't seem to be an actual concern to them.

Which is actually a little unsettling in people who want me to hero it up for them. And I've got to say, handing out powers to people you don't really know all that well yet and who just got sort of kidnapped? Not actually seeming like a bright idea from over here.

It's probably a long shot, but anyone know Terry McGinnis? [ just in case! you never know. ] Or know anything more than they've told us? It'd be nice to get more of the lay of the land.

[ everyone's, seriously ]

If it's not sentient but it's also acting independently, then it's -

I'm not really sure what that is. They could be lying about not having any control, though.

I'd doubt that one, personally. It's too dangerous a lie, as if it were ever discovered, as it's already suspected, the resulting mutiny would be nothing short of a revolting display.

Well, it would be an interesting one at least. Still, probably not worth speculating on. [ in public ]

Have you been here long?

Only about a month here. It was a good bit longer at the world before.

A couple other people have mentioned that one. What was it like, in comparison to this one?

Trying to compare two Earths would probably be something you should ask a native to do. When the differences are mostly cosmetic, it's hard to exactly describe. Neither is more Earth-like than the other, they're both Earth. One just has different systems in a different dressing.

Is it more Earth-like than other Earths I've been to? I...suppose that could be said.

[ mildly squinting that was a lot of words that are kind of weird to parse out ]

How many Earths have you been to?

[glowsferatu]

Five, I think? There was a sixth I only saw, but it may count.

Wait, seriously? How? Like this or other ways?

A bit. The porter on our previous Earth was fond of day trips. Only they lasted closer to a week.
