No, I haven't done the reading yet. Not much of a reader, but I'll get on that soon. I promise.

Aside from all that, hi, I'm Helix. Do I know any of you?

Also, cookies aren't really on my diet, but who can say no to the best chocolate chip I've ever had?

Chocolate chip cookies are always a temptation.

Makes you think they want us to have a good first impression.

[covert_ops]

It's working. I've been abducted before, but no one ever gave me cookies for it.

[makeanentrance]

Who kidnapped you before?

[covert_ops]

Oh, you know. Bad guys.

[makeanentrance]

The Savage Six?

[covert_ops]

I've not heard of them, but I'll be on the lookout if we ever get home.

[makeanentrance]

They may also be going under the name of The Sinister Six. At least, that's what we used to be called.

[covert_ops]

You're part of them?

[makeanentrance]

Used to be. Not any more.

I'm trying to take a better path.

[covert_ops]

Gotta be difficult. Those better paths aren't the easiest things to follow.

Can never go wrong with the classics.

Anyway, don't think we've met, so nice to meet you, Helix. Welcome to Driftcrest.

Re: Text | un: milesmorales

[covert_ops]

Nice to meet you, too. Driftcrest, huh?

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah, at least for now. This place has a tendency to change from time to time. This is actually the third city it's been since I've been here.

[covert_ops]

Really? That sounds... confusing.

[idontgetpaid]

It can be a little bit. Everything's fine when things settle after a while, but the initial change can be a bit jarring.

[covert_ops]

I guess that's understandable. Not the city changing, but it being jarring. How long have you been here?

[idontgetpaid]

A few months...six, I think? I lose track sometimes.

[covert_ops]

Why's that? You'd think you'd be more hyper aware of time in a new place.

[idontgetpaid]

Yeah, when the place changes. But then once things get settled and you get used to the day to day, sometimes you fall into the routine and forget what day it is.

[ Or you lose track of days when you're panic about something happening, like when your best friend turns into an ice statue, but that's not something he wants to mention right now. ]

That would depend on the reality you come from. Some of us have had people show up from home.

Re: text | un: realbrucewayne (☑)

[covert_ops]

Gosh. Different realities and multiverses. This is gonna take some time to sink in. But yeah, I was wondering if anyone I know from home was here.

Who are you, then, with your fancy checkmark?

[menarebrave]

It can for some people. Have you found anyone from home?

Bruce Wayne. Back home, I run my family's multi-generational multi-billion dollar company. Here? I sit on the board of Wechester Enterprises.

[covert_ops]

Not so far.

That's a lot of multis. I guess that means you're a big deal.

[menarebrave]

I'm sorry to hear.

Something like that.

[covert_ops]

Nah, it's all right. I'm used to being on my own.

You're not a moustache twirling villain, are you?
