[Social networking had never really been Frank's forte, even before he was declared dead to the public. When he found the communicator in his welcome package, and the explanation of the imPort network, he couldn't help but grimace. The greeter interpreted it a smile, and let him go on his way.

Now, he sits in a corner cafe, watching city life unfold around him, with the phone in his hand. A few of the posts he's found so far have actually caught his attention-- apparently some of these supervillain assholes really don't mind showing their faces. Not really a bad thing-- easier to find.

What would be harder to find, however, would be people he can trust. Especially if people here know who he is. May as well test the waters.]

So are there any good coffee shops around here? Because this Starbucks stand in tastes like shit

everywhere
maurtia falls the people are a bit more closed off

[380s]

They got a reason?

[huntergames]

i am not very sure i am sorry
it is a quieter city overall i find

[380s]

Don't worry about it

But quiet's good

[Or more telling.]

[huntergames]

not that the other cities are very loud!
not in comparison to non-porter cities like
new york is very loud

[380s]

Guess New York can't change much

[He isn't sure whether that's good or bad.]

[huntergames]

are you familiar with that city?

[380s]

Yeah. Where I'm from

[huntergames]

it seems to be a city lots of imports are from or have been to
which borough?

[380s]

Been around all of them

Used to be in Queens the most

[huntergames]

is it nice there?

[380s]

[It can be. It was, for him, a long time ago. Saying anything good about it now feels disingenuous.]

Depends on the area

that icon is illegal

[huntergames]

maybe you can visit it here again?

I break it out when I want to destroy myself

[380s]

[No, he almost automatically types, but stops. It's the truth-- God knows if there's a living Castle family there peacefully, or another headstone. Maybe there's nothing of them at all, and that's the most disturbing thought.

It's better to stay off that track completely.]

I already know the coffee out there is bad

[huntergames]

[ Although Frank can't see it, that gets a laugh out of Sasha. ]

but new york is famous for its pizza right

[380s]

That's what they say

I don't eat pizza

[huntergames]

but it is one of the greatest food inventions of this world

[380s]

[It's Frank's turn to secretly crack a smile in spite of himself. Yeah, this has to be a kid.]

Don't hate it

just don't eat it

[huntergames]

what do you like to eat then?
meat? fish? are you a vegan

[380s]

Nothing like that

Can't eat a lot of junk, that's all

[huntergames]

pizza isnt junk food
i think
it has cheese and bread and MEAT

[ GIRL... ]

[380s]

[The temptation to slip into dad mode comes to him, but his brain resists, like he's trying to flip a rusty light switch. He's not going to tell this girl how to eat.]

Cheese is made from fat

1/2

[huntergames]

[huntergames]

but it is so delicious

[380s]

Delicious don't usually mean good for you

[How is he having this conversation]
