[The video shakes and settles as it's set on a table, focusing on Cindy who gives the camera a little wave.]

Hello! So I'm new. And Cindy. I mean, my name is Cindy and I'm new.

[She takes a moment to facepalm. Great start, Cindy Moon. Way to prove you're a capable and cool young woman. New universe, new start, right?]

Anyways. Anyways! I just have a couple questions. Mostly about superpowers and communism but also pumpkin spice. It's everywhere. And is kale still a big thing in this universe? I was hoping that if I had to be teleported to an alternate universe, it'd be one without kale smoothies.

[She pauses, and a look of horror passes over her face.]

What if there are pumpkin spice kale smoothies?

Kale? In a smoothie? Gross.

[lunaraneae]

Worse things have happened. To smoothies, even.

[Wait, is that a lion kid?]

[mightthinkthat]

You wouldn't have to have them, you know.

[lunaraneae]

Are you saying they actually exist?

Hi Cindy! It's very nice to meet you! I am Michael J. Caboose! Welcome to Earth. That is the blue one, if you weren't sure.

[lunaraneae]

Nice to meet you? And I'm not an alien. I'm from Earth. Just not this Earth.

...Also, aren't other planets blue?

Kale is an exclusively human mistake, but I'm afraid I couldn't speak well to its proliferation here. I don't generally go for smoothies, but now that I think about it, they may not be a bad match for my diet.

[Human like... this person is obviously not. Right. Play it cool.]

I've heard liquid diets can be very cleansing?

[Perfect.]

As far as I am able to ascertain, the exponential increase in pumpkin everything is because it is autumn and Halloween is coming up.

It's not bad, but the sudden appearance of pumpkins lurking furtively around every corner might give some a bit of a shock.

[lunaraneae]

The pumpkins don't have superpowers here, right? Just doublechecking.

[huntergames]

But pumpkin spice is incredibly delicious!

Isn't kale a vegetable?

video;

[lunaraneae]

It's totally delicious. But some questionable choices have been made, believe me.

[The pumpkin spice Oreos were pretty tempting, though...]

Kale is definitely a vegetable. The most vegetable of vegetables.

[enucleation]

I can help with superpower questions, but not kale or pumpkin spice. [ because he can't eat normal food]

[lunaraneae]

Awesome! So everyone Ported in has superpowers, right? Are power levels pretty much the same, or are there some duds?

[justimom]

After trying the pumpkin spice flavors, I do not believe it would go well with kale.

[lunaraneae]

Someone somewhere has done it. It's exactly the kind of thing a supervillain would do.

( video. )

[cupio]

Pumpkin Spice is the actual best. I would totally lodge a movement to make it an all-year kind of drink and not just for autumn.

video;

[lunaraneae]

It is tasty! Just not sure if I want it mixed with my kale or as a candle.

video; comm id is just "Peter Parker"

[shutterbugged]

Ugh. Look, I know it's close to Halloween, but you should still warn for disturbing content before posting stuff like that on the network. Jeez.

[ Peter looks happy enough to see her, but... it's more "new neighbor; seems nice!" than "reunion with friend and comrade-in-eight-arms." There's no trace of recognition. ]

[lunaraneae]

Peter! What are you doing here?

[Last she saw him, it was end of the world business.]

[khajidont]

So... what are the other questions you've got? It looks like you've got the whole pumpkin spice base covered by now, which is that nobody actually gets it.

[lunaraneae]

Were there seriously robot sharks? Or is someone pulling my leg?

[tardily]

We still have kale smoothies. For reasons I've yet to really figure out because I thought it was mostly Hollywood's fault everyone started them. And I don't think they drink it as much here.

[ Never mind that if Barry's honest and if he was hungry enough, he'd probably drink a pumpkin spice kale smoothie. ]

Did you actually have a question about superpowers and the kale possibilities ruined it?

video;

[lunaraneae]

Yes! I definitely have questions. Like, do people get powers that are about equal in strength, or are there some kind of crappy ones?

[fridgeflower]

I'm Cindy. I'm Laurie, and I'm not so new. At all.

And I've never seen a pumpkin spice and kale smoothy, so you might be safe.

[lunaraneae]

Good to know! And... nice to meet you. I promise I can talk about things not kale.
