but you're a) not a superhero and b) FUCKING RUSSIAN

like srsly my blood is at least part vodka thats how russian we're talking here

its kinda weird to drag me to a little room and say you want me to fight the soviets isn't it

like hey just go fight your own people because we say so and also you have powers now????

yeah ok thanks for fucking with my dna i guess WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

anyways none of that was actually a question, oops so here's one

any other russkies out there????? if not thats cool but plz don't look at me like i'm coming for your family

also how do you know if that file that tells you your power isnt bs because i'm looking at it like wtf who considers this a power, can't i have something cool like shooting lasers out of my eyes

maybe theres some mistake??? hahaha that'd mean they'd have to send me home tho right

good luck with that, im sure

[Aha, it all makes sense now! Jayden is from Boston, so the natural rivalry is there! (Just kidding, he thinks NYC is cooler than Boston, and fun to visit.)]

shit what the hell, everyone i meet here is some sort of huge big shot

what are you doing talking to me, don't you have politics to do

or are you trying to get in with the people (ps i can't vote yet)

[viced]

[ Rivalries are rivalries, even if either city is cool to visit!! ]

Just because you can't vote yet, doesn't mean you won't, and this isn't really about garnering votes --

I mean, I'm always looking for them, but I'm a human being too. [ He says, like he means it. ]

Nothing wrong with taking a little downtime, is there?

[immigrantpunk]

[DAMN you are a politician.]

ok i'll bite

what are you running for?

[viced]

I haven't announced it yet. Honestly, I've only been here for a month or two, and I'm still getting the scope of things.

[ A pause. ]

But probably something a little more than Mayor this time.

[immigrantpunk]

holy shit you were mayor, mayor of where?

and whats a step up from that

[viced]

Anything is a step up from Mayor. Governor, Senator, the whole nine yards.

[ A pause. ] Anyway, before a lot of us showed up here, we were in another world trapped just like this one, and I was the mayor of a place called the City.

And before that back home, I was the Mayor of New York.

[immigrantpunk]

oh sorry, i thought mayor was kind of a big deal

wait so you want to be president of shitty soviet world

don't you need to be a us citizen first

[viced]

Shit no, I don't want to be president. [ Here. ]

But I could be Governor. Arnold was a fucking Governor. Maybe senate. I'm still a US Citizen, just of a different US.

[immigrantpunk]

wow we don't have to go through some kind of interdimensional immigration process

sweet

i did that once already, never again

good luck with the campaign

[viced]

What, immigration process or interdimensional immigration?

But, ah, thanks, I mean, it's still some way off. I've been here for three months, so I've got some name recognition to win still.

[immigrantpunk]

just regular immigration

people don't pop in from other universes where i'm from, they'd prolly get shot on sight

gotta ask tho, democrat or republican

[viced]

Well, actually, when I ran, it was as an independent candidate. [ Halcyon days... ]

And same for mine. It's fucked up to think that they're just welcoming us with open arms, sometimes.

[immigrantpunk]

and you won?

like no srsly no one ever wins anything if they're not a democrat or a republican where i'm from

systems rigged that way

[viced]

Hah, it's generally the same where I'm from. We're a pretty polarized nation, but sometimes -- if someone's good enough -- you can do it without the party backing.

I mean, I had a little extra notoriety to help me along, at least.

[immigrantpunk]

ok bro don't leave me hanging

what notoriety

[viced]

What? Oh, I used to be a superhero.

[immigrantpunk]

oh of course

just forgot that little detail

i guess that explains a lot tho

[viced]

I wouldn't say forgot as much as... I just don't talk about it.

I think it was my midlife crisis, I mean, I was fucking thirty.

[immigrantpunk]

being a superhero or being mayor

[viced]

Being a superhero, I'm actually pretty good at politics.

[immigrantpunk]

yeah you got the charm i guess

[viced]

Up until the first time I say fuck, maybe.

[immigrantpunk]

you'll go a long way with the kids

[viced]

I get that by way of just being younger than the rest of the fuckheads on the ballot, but I'll take the advantages as I find them. I do better with the youth vote, it's true.

[immigrantpunk]

how old are you anyway
