ive never actually been outside new york before so im wondering
what do people even do for fun in michigan?
stand at the bank of lake huron and yell insults at canada?

ive done some searching and this universe doesn't even have jupiter jim!! which obviously makes it inferior to my own universe
u guys are missing some prime cinema

[He won't even start on the lack of Lou Jitsu movies because that's his dad and thinking about it bums him out.]

less important question: does anyone else who fell through the weird sky hole have powers that aren't working right?
asking for a friend

In my case I have one power that is not working completely as expected. I do not believe I can adequately describe it's... strangeness. It works almost entirely as it has in the past with the exception of when it does not.

[faceguy]

ok but is there any kind of pattern to it? any cause you can think of? because mine's been all over the place

[greatairplane]

Mine had an external 'anchor' that did not arrive with me. It had to find a new one.

[faceguy]

[Wait that actually sounds relevant to his whole problem.]

was the anchor an object? how'd u find a new one?

No idea on the whole fun thing. I showed up here last month an apparently Christmas is a very important thing here in America that makes stuff different than normal.

And no powers that aren't working right here. Just got some now. Well, got one now anyway. I can make clothes out of nothing... that don't seem to last more than a day no matter what I try.

[She almost wrote "got a new one now", but fortunately her brain is actually working and she's texting so she could you know, not blow her secret identity.]

[faceguy]

yeah it's a one day holiday that lasts from the end of october to the start of january

that power sounds like it would be great for makeover montages!

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Really? That's ridiculous!

And probably! Haven't really tried to give someone a makeover here yet, but it's totally doable. And probably necessary. Some people show up here with wings and other limbs they didn't have before!

It's also really good for trying out clothes ideas before you try to make them the normal way.

[faceguy]

americans never do anything halfway. you'll get used to it

yeah random mutation is pretty bad for the wardrobe. I saw it a lot back home too. some of my bad guys were fashion disasters

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

ok, first off, if you do yell at canada from across lake huron, be prepared because canadians will yell back, especially if you diss hockey

second, I'm gonna need some more information on this jupiter jim dude because he sounds AMAZING

[faceguy]

whats the worst they can do, apologize at me?

[Ok but finally someone is asking him the REAL questions.]

jupiter jim IS amazing
he flies around the galaxy in his spaceship the SS Starbolt working toward interplanetary peace
mostly by beating up lots of vicious aliens with cool weaponry
theres movies, comics, and of course a non-denominational holiday special

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

clearly you've never been around any canadians during playoffs!

that all sounds EXTREMELY RAD, and I'm sorry that this universe is jupiter jim-less

but I bet there's a ton of other cool stuff here that you've never read/watched!

[faceguy]

ive been around new yorkers during playoffs so I think I could handle it

well I am always up for new stuff
got an recs?

[pinball_wizard]

Mine aren't. But it's kind of hard to mess up turning into a giant rubber ball.

[faceguy]

what so your like a human bouncy ball? my little brother would love that

[While he may not know the exact meaning of "asking for a friend," he can recognize a punt when he sees one. That last bit seems like the important one, so that's what he goes for.]

what happened to your friend?

[faceguy]

[It absolutely is, though it's not as stubborn of a punt as Leo usually makes. Still, if someone is going to not call him out on it he'll take it.]

powers on the fritz. they don't work like theyre supposed to.
either a them problem or a this dimension problem and they're hoping for the second one

[Because if it's a him problem then that sucks.]

[effiomsfavorite]

[Well, he's talking. It's a start.]

okay

how are they supposed to work? how are they working now?

or I guess how are they not working now

[faceguy]

teleportation and portals
sometimes they end up a few feet from where theyre trying to go
or it just gives up halfway
or doesn't work at all

its unpredictable is what im saying

[ holy shit it's a turtle. it's a teenage mutant ninja turtle!! ]

I mean. We have the Fast and the Furious franchise.

[faceguy]

[In the very scaly flesh!]

ok u have my attention
whats that?

[torchbearer]

It's like crazy car stunts with explosions as a found family bound and help the law but also sometimes break the law.

[faceguy]

that all sounds pretty great actually
especially the explosions
still lacking in aliens but I guess ill check it out

Just make sure you don't stand in the lake when you shout at Canada. The Great Lakes sometimes get bull sharks.

And if you're looking for tourist destinations, there's always Hell, or I heard the cabin from Evil Dead is somewhere I'm Michigan. Wait a sec...

[For a moment he goes quiet, looking up where in Michigan it's supposed to be.]

What, it's in Tennessee!? I've been lied to!...Oh hey, the bull shark thing was also a lie, it's official, this state sucks.

voice back!

[faceguy]

You got my hopes so high and then dashed them on the rocks of bitter disappointment.

[No bull sharks, no spooky cabin... what is even the point?]

These Alliance guys offered to leave me in Kansas but that has to be even worse. I'm not buying a little dog and living on a farm.

[formerspybrat]

Sorry for taking you on this journey of disappointment with me. At least they have some decent theaters and skate parks around here. And waterparks, when it's not, ya'know, winter.

[There's a sudden mock gasp.]

You mean you don't want to live smake in the middle of tornado alley? But you'll miss out on all the wheat fields and oil wells.
