Hi, guys.

[The man on the other end of the network smiles awkwardly. He's gearing up for a conversation, but drawing attention to himself is a new experience. The way he draws a breath and fidgets makes it obvious that he's still feeling out the network.]

So, this is definitely on the list of moments that make you think you might be dreaming. It sounds like we have people from just about everywhere here. Someone tell me this isn't the weirdest thing you've ever had happen to you. It'll make me feel better.

Before you got here, did any of you have strange things happen? You know, things out of fantasy movies or fever dreams for everyone else? What's the weirdest thing that you've ever seen?

[He laughs, mixing an exhale into it as he ducks his head.]

Sorry, I'm trying out the whole coaching thing. My name's Christian. Apparently I'm working with the Gramarye Magic Research people as a life coach, so if anyone wants to get a drink sometime and discuss tragic life choices, I have a really open schedule. I'd say we can do lunch too, but is that weird? I don't want to be weird.

I saw god once. That was pretty fucked up.

[Wow, is that an actual honest answer out of Dodger? Well, he trusts Christian in some odd sort of way. And he does love dropping bombs about his past.

Or he might have just gotten stung by one of his pet fireflies again, who knows.

Life coach for magical research? Huh.

[ See something new every day. Even when you're nearing 2800. ]

Do you mean relative to peoples' home lives or what's "normal" here?

Weirdest thing I've ever seen? Two people merging into one nuclear-powered burning man. Maybe.

Fantasy movies? What do you mean by that?

I saw a machine ponder the meaning of life and its own existence, even though it should not be physically capable of doing so.

[2B glances to the side, not that Christian can see it because the blindfold is on the way.]

I must admit, the strangest things I have experienced happened after I found myself here.

"Magic" being one of them.

Sorry, but this is definitely the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.

It is nice to meet you dear Christian. I'm Zacharie, the traditional items merchant.

As my world is a video game, I believe there are a number of strange things there for others. Perhaps I would say the strangest thing is the whale enemy due to the sudden appearance of it.


[Although that's likely not the weirdest thing in that sentence, isn't it?]

I got turned down for a scrawny looking nerd once.

[This is what Tony finds weird in his life.]

[ Damn he was gonna do the "my friend merged bodies with this other guy and now they can fly and catch on fire" but he sees that Snart already mentioned Firestorm and now he's really gotta one-up him. ]

i built a time machine.

[ Hey, it doesn't get much weirder than that, after all. Or, at least, doesn't get any weirder without being personal enough that Cisco's not about to share with a random stranger. ]

and i think the whole concept of life coaching is weird enough that lunch isn't gonna make it any weirder.

Sorry, this is definitely the strangest thing that has ever happened to me. This, and the microwave. [It heats food really strangely. He doesn't like it. It was hot and cold in different spots at the same time.]

What's a life coach? Do you give advice for your job?

I saw an alien parasite that possessed a person and turned them into something like one of those ogre-like bosses in fantasy video games.

It attacked me one night one the street before... a, uh, vigilante (I guess?) saved me.
