So I just realized that I've been in this place for a year! Which is a super long time to be anywhere away from home, but it hasn't been all bad. I've gotten to meet people from all over various dimensions. I've seen a lot of magic and met a lot of aliens too.

I was kind of curious though. What kind of experiences have you had here? Anything super memorable and awesome? It'd be great to share that kind of stuff. Maybe it'll help some of the newcomers feel better about arriving here.

[It takes him a moment to really register the words.]

You haven't been here too much longer than me.

Is being here a year really all that memorable?

[supersweet]

I think so. I mean, as a place, you've never really going to forget Riverview. Where else would you meet people from so many worlds?

[sweetlies]

Ah.

I suppose it really isn't easily forgotten. And I can't think of anywhere else you'd learn about other worlds.

[supersweet]

I mean, my world has aliens come by all the time, but it isn't the same.

[sweetlies]

Aliens?

We don't have anything like that. Well, aside from Grim Reapers. I've met a couple of them but it's not a normal thing.

[supersweet]

Normal's kind of subjective.

Maybe you just haven't seen them yet.

Ever think to put all you've learned into a book?

[supersweet]

Why would I write a book about it?

[sonofab]

For memories sake.

I'm not saying to get it published, just that a year is a long time with such valuable lessons, you should record them.

Or audio records.

[supersweet]

I . . . guess it's not a bad idea.

But what if it got hijacked or something?

[sonofab]

Mm, I've seen your handwriting. They'd never be able to decipher it.

I've been here a year as well. It has actually been good here so far.

[supersweet]

Good how? Anything special?

[bringbackgold]

Got engaged. Enjoy my work. I'm lucky, though. I think.

How about you?

[supersweet]

Congratulations!

I guess I like it here too. It's a lot more freeing. I miss my folks though, like all the time. It's not the same without them.

[bringbackgold]

Thank you.

[ He's been hearing that. ]

There's nothing quite like home and family, is there?

[ He empathizes. ]

The things I would say, aren't the most appropriate, so I'll be super lame and say it's getting to meet you and getting to know the others better than I ever would have back home.

[supersweet]

Totally lame.

But thanks. I'm glad I got to know you too.

[hititwithacrowbar]

The less embarrassing cool bits would be Nico walking me through shadows to teleport. That was always cool. Or walking with Loki in a magic bubble in the acid rains.

Anyway, your welcome. Your a good kid.

[supersweet]

Yeah, I'm glad I got to avoid all the weird bubble stuff. Magic is always kind of weird around here and nothing like home.
