So, hi!
[The setting: an ice cream parlor, somewhere in Heropa. The scene: Foggy Nelson, eating ice cream, because somebody offered him free ice cream with toppings and he's broke. He gives the camera a little wave and a friendly grin.]
I'm Foggy Nelson—yeah, I know, not my idea, but I'm not changing it now—and I have some questions. Don't worry, I got the "welcome to another world, you have superpowers" speech, I just have some concerns it didn't address.
[Lots and lots of them, actually, but he'll just start with the most pressing.]
First of all, I'm a lawyer back at home. Got a law firm and a partner and even a sign for our office. [A pause, during which he looks quickly away from the camera and lets out a quiet, tired sigh like he's already missing it, then:] Of course, you don't have any reason to believe me, and I don't have any proof to back me up here. Which leads me to my first question: do my qualifications still carry over into an alternate universe? Because, man, being an insurance claim investigator is the only thing that's probably worse than being a lawyer. [He's both, so he gets to be funny about this.]
Second, I might need a crash course on imPort law. I'm pretty sure immigration law doesn't quite cover "forcibly dragged to another universe" that well, and I only got maybe a sketch of the benefits of registration when I tried to ask. [This whole registration thing honestly comes off as a little sketchy to Foggy, but he's going to keep his trap shut on that much.]
Third—does anyone here know what I mean when I say the Avengers? How about the Incident? I—just need to know.

text;
he's all over old news though. look him up, you might find something on how he got his credentials transferred or whatever. (i could use a new lawyer.)
[the fine print is something about having just recently inherited a mult-million dollar methamphetamine operation, but he's maybe!! not going to mention that over text with new lawyer guy.]
nah, sorry. i came from a little town called henrietta in virginia, we didn't get no incidents there.
only revenge anybody pulled off was kids.
[himself, specifically. more self-editing. he's been doing more of it, since """rehab."""]

I'll look him up. If he's all over the old news as you say, I'm not going to have any trouble digging up info on him. (Give me a month or two to build up some funds and pass the bar, and I'll see what I can do.)
[Kavinsky no.]
I'm from New York. We got one Incident there and we're still recovering three years on.
What's Henrietta like?
no subject
it ain't anything like new york. small, slow.
one place to see movies
nearest hospital is like forty minutes out, although we got a clinic
if it wasn't for the prep school in town we wouldn't have jack for restaurants and mechanics, but boys with money have needs they want to pay for with money
[text] > [text; private]
Henrietta seems like a nice and peaceful place. No wonder there's kids acting out. [How little you know, Nelson.
This next part is private:]
So what exactly did you do that you got into jail and needed a lawyer in the first place? [Maybe they're not officially an attorney and his client yet, but Foggy's taking a few precautions here. A topic like this isn't something he's entirely comfortable with airing out on a public space, right now.]
private text;
ain't a secret, i'm pretty internet famous too
few months ago i was trying to get revenge on a jagweed who'd killed me. made this whole psychic dream prison alterate universe situation to fuck him up in his head and force him to confess
lot of people caught in the crossfire, though. nobody died, but there was a lot of psychological distress, you know what i'm saying
this kid named billy kaplan caught me and dragged me in to the cops
winger helped me get into psych treatment instead of just doing all my time at the big house.
been clean ever since
private text;
Back up. Someone killed you?
I think I can get what you're saying. You somehow created some kind of mass dream to catch one guy but pulled a lot of innocent people in with him. Why did that many get caught up in it if you just wanted to get revenge on one person?
no subject
yeah someone killed me. think he's gone now. no great loss. you wouldn't want to know the way he did it, either.
technically i was trying to frame him. figured if he didn't turn himself in, i'd have to make something else work.
revenge was a really powerful motivator for me you know what i'm saying
