[Tina's happily humming to herself as she turns the feed on. A notebook is lying on Maurtia Falls #003's kitchen table, and she zooms in on several labeled drawings of burgers as she slowly flips through the pages:]

Magnus Burnsides - mango salsa with "sideburns" of hot peppers
Wizard Of Mozz - Italian sausage patty, topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella
Merle Highchurch - Pan fried, topped with a few different kinds of greens
Detective Angus - made of Angus beef with a mystery cheese inside
Max - a long bun with two mini patties and fried pickle wheels, to look like a skateboard
Sharpedo - sharp cheddar cheese with "fins" made of nacho cheese Doritos
Pikachu - put pepperoni slices for cheeks, olives for eyes, and mustard for the face on the patty
Exeggutor - honey and egg bun with two fried eggs

[Tina then shuts the notebook and turns the camera on herself, looking quite proud.]

This has been my latest project- coming up with burgers themed after imPorts I know. I want to sell them, maybe at swear-ins, or something like that.

If you could make your own burger, what would you put on it?

I've [A small pause- she doesn't want to talk publicly about Archie's death, not when it's still a sore spot for him.] heard about people dying and coming back to life. I don't know how true that is, though.

They don't really die then though, right? If they come back.

...Do they come back the same?

As far as I know, yes, they do. No injuries or anything like that.

Is that just something... people get used to here then?

[The way he asks this has a certain tone to it. It doesn't sound at all like someone who is shocked or curious or holding some sort of disbelief. He asks it like it's more some statement, some situation he has already had to deal with before and is resolving himself to again.]

Yeah. ... you get used to a lot of weird things here. I come from a world where nobody had superpowers or anything, so this world is strange to me in some ways.

[He paused for a moment, silent, contemplative. It was nice to hear she was from somewhere more... normal? She looked like it too. Her presence eased him further, eased him more than a lot of people he's met already.]

Getting used to them is something I'm used to, it's just difficult to keep up. It almost seems easier to just avoid other imPorts.

I mostly keep to my group. It IS hard to keep up with everyone, but staying isolated... I couldn't do that. I'm too used to being around my family all the time.

Yeah.

I was too. [A long. Awkward pause again before-]

It gets really lonely here. [And just... difficult? The higher tech, the idea of other universes, worlds, aliens and super powers? It all just... stacks up on you, and all with being alone in a whole new place.

Well, he was never one who was easy to make friends, and that only persists here.]

... yeah. It can. I'm not from a world where we had superpowers or demigods or... anything supernatural. I lived a pretty simple life- worked in my dad's restaurant, hung out with my siblings. I never thought too much about people having it different.
