[Stephen looks… well less like a hobo than he has in past months. Still looks like he needs to sleep for a year, but that seems to be standard.

He ran a hand through his hair, frowning down at something outside of view.]

So… I think someone lost a dog in the park?

[He shifts the phone so the camera shows his feet, and the small puppy that was running circles around him. It slowed to a stop when it noticed the attention, peering up at Stephen and his camera, ears perking curiously. But when no treats or attention were forthcoming, it head-butted against his ankle with a bark.

Stephen took a few steps back, which just encouraged the Lillipup to run after him, tail wagging, catching his pant leg in teeth to tug, like he was trying to pull the man along with him, though if even the small pup knew where to was questionable.]

This little guy look familiar to any of you?

So essentially, you failed to keep the rest of us safe from this place.

[suckstobestrange]

Given my recent track record, yeah that about sums it up.

[ikols]

So you're a wreck at what you do, the Captain doesn't want to be the Captain, Stark's being weird, [ SAY YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF MAYBE-DYING, TONY, ] and I sorta died. Barnes is also clearly evil.

[ That last one is just a spiteful freebie. ]

I'm starting to think it's more than a coincidence we're all so messed up.

[suckstobestrange]

The misfit dimension? [He's heard odder ideas.

However that's not all he focuses on here.]

...'Sorta died'? Sounds like an understatement if I've ever heard one.

Hashtag magic. Ego-death, no biggie.

[ mASSIVE BIGGIE but he's cool, see how cool he is as he moves on. ]

I'm starting to view us as a box of broken toys. Billy doesn't have any real control over his powers either, for another thing, not to leave him out. That isn't really his fault though, merely his time-line's.

[ Hmm, pensive god is pensive. ]

[suckstobestrange]

Sounds like it. [He'll let it slide for now, if only because he would rather not poke too hard at Emotion Things right now.]

So what are you thinking? That we're pulled here because of being a variety pack of disasters?

[ikols]

I think we're a majestically unstable group of superheroes being placated with puppies.

[suckstobestrange]

Well you're not wrong...

[ikols]

Something to think on while petting your pooch.

[ And he signs off with a cheery wave to contrast the subject matter. ]
