[T'Challa does not put on the Panther Habit for his first post to the network, preferring to keep the two identities separate for as long as possible. For the duration of his stay, if he can manage it, though it's not he who would tell the others. He cannot vouch for the people from his own world that are here. Not all of them, at least.

He angles his device to capture his face and very little of his surroundings.]

In my culture, death is not the end. It's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veld where... you can run forever.

[He'd been told upon his arrival, after many questions, that he was here because he'd felt displaced. While that had not necessarily been true, the thought that this place was something other than what it seemed had crossed his mind. The afterlife possibly, though he did not recall dying - his beliefs dashed that notion rather quickly.]

So this cannot be life after death. Do you accept the answers you have been given or do you challenge them? What was the outcome of such action?

[The feed ends there. It's enough of a start to generate conversation.]

Tomorrow's trouble is best left for another day, as long as it is not entirely forgotten.

What place do you come from that there are such problems?

[suckstobestrange]

Oh no forgotten trouble is how you wind up hip-deep in a disaster that could have been so much easier to manage if you'd just kept an eye on things.

[He's done his share of shitshow wading in his life.]

New York. Trouble's not all centered there, but it gets more than it's fair share of supernatural problems.

[kumkani]

The Avengers attract more than their fair share of trouble.

[New York might not be singled out specifically because them but the correlation couldn't be overlooked.]

I am T'Challa. What do I call you?

[suckstobestrange]

You're not wrong there.

[Stephen is well aware of the fun side-effects of having a superhero team calling a city home.]

Dr. Strange. Or Stephen, if you'd rather.

[kumkani]

So you are the other Stephen Strange.

And if you know of the Avengers, then we might be from the same world?

[suckstobestrange]

As if one of me wasn't bad enough.

But no... you're similar to the T'Challa from home, but aren't him. Kind of like how some twins are strikingly similar, but with their differences, if that makes sense? We might be able to place which world you're from though... how many Avengers are there where you're from?

[Aka are you from the world of Baby's First Avengers and the Divorce To End All Divorces that is the Civil War.]

[kumkani]

There is another T'Challa? Would you tell me of him?

I said something similar to your other Stephen Strange. That you might look alike, have similar histories, but not be the same person. Just uniquely homogeneous.

Less than fifteen, give or take.

[suckstobestrange]

Not here, but yes. He and I might not always see eye to eye on matters, but he is a good man all the same and does what he believes to be right, to protect the innocent, his people, and his country. Not a man I've ever regretted having at my back in a crisis.

A small group then... you're more than likely from the same world as Sam is then, it seems the most represented here other than my own.

[kumkani]

Then a man I do not mind sharing a name with.

Sam is the Falcon. Is that who you mean?
