The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

Peter Maximoff.

Is Jug your name or moniker? or is that like, the mystique? that we may never truly know.

[burger_king]

It's what people call me. Not even my parents use my legal name anymore.

[quickfingers]

Hey, whatever works. I'd try the moniker thing myself but like, nobody calls me it here aside from myself?

Even my dad just goes "Peter". (Imagine an exhausted sigh here.)

[burger_king]

The moniker thing is more for actual superheroes, isn't it? Or villains, I suppose.

[quickfingers]

hey, i could totally be a super-something
technically i guess the x-men are/ were but like still.
way to dropkick my super-person confidence there, friend

[burger_king]

Hey, I'm not questioning if you're a super-something. Interesting that you didn't commit to either,
though.

[quickfingers]

well i'd be an idiot to announce my villainy on the internet
and it's kinda cocky to call yourself a hero? kinda? that's something that's only cool in reference to another person, not yourself. "You're my hero" vs like, "haha i'm your hero" kinda shit. makes you sound dippy? idk

[burger_king]

See, I thought that too but now we got it tattooed into our skin so what choice do we really have?
They labeled us. Literally.

[quickfingers]

yeaaaah, that's a thing alright

[burger_king]

[ Just gonna... throw some feelers out... ]

How do you feel about registration?

[quickfingers]

Mixed feelings. i'm reg tho, for the time being anyway.

I almost didn't, but I kinda went with the fam on it? it bites, but there are some perks to it.

[burger_king]

yeah, it must be nice to have health insurance and a place to live. I get why people sign away themselves for that.

[quickfingers]

For what it counts, my dad's trying to do a thing to raise funds for youth who don't wanna register.

IDK the status of it yet but I can keep you in the loop if I hear more. Otherwise I think there are a shit ton of hoops to jump thru for the most basic stuff.

[burger_king]

I'd appreciate that, thanks.

[ He's pretty much made up his mind about registration, without actually making up his mind. Signs point to haha no way are you kidding me? tho. ]

Who's your dad?

[quickfingers]

[Okay so it's more like sponsorship or something but Peter's been busy, "trying to raise funds" is both vague and descriptive enough.]

Erik Lehnsherr, you might see some stuff about him online. He was in the running recently for ImPort Ambassador in Maurtia Falls.

[burger_king]

Erik Lehnsherr. Got it. [ You know he's writing all this down. ]

Thanks, Peter. This has been really informative.

[quickfingers]

No prob. LMK if you ever drop by Porter Pizza, I'll get you some sweet discounts.

[burger_king]

Best thing I've heard all day.
