( The image that comes onto the screen is of a pristinely clean kitchen, obviously unused. It pans around for a minute, and then Dany appears, clothes and hair immaculate as those who've since met her may be accustomed to seeing by now. The expression on her face is cool out of habit, though her head is tilted, indicating that she's open to conversing, and curious. )

Prior to my arrival here, I cannot say there has been a single occasion upon which I've had to prepare or cook my own food. Not even when we crossed a desert.

( And then her expression twists, pinching into something remotely sheepish and rueful. )

Would that it were otherwise. I'm no great talent with this oven or stove; nor even with wood and flame. But I would know what sort of dishes you favoured back home, and if you might share toe recipes for them, if you know them.

other than honeyed locusts, anyway. ( If they're to someone else's taste, fine; but yuck. ) I intend to learn.

[ BEHOLD... a teen witch sitting on his bed. He seems way too energetic, considering he's indoors and doing nothing. (lbr he's nursing a magic-high right now, and it's got him feeling both restless and aimless at the same time.) ]

Hey, show of hands, who here's got too much free time right now? [ HE'LL START. Look at that hand go up. ] Come on, at least one of you watching raised your hand, too. So let's do something about it. Get drunk in public, find a corner to loiter on, a shop to vandalize, you know, normal kids' stuff.

[ He grins. ]

Kidding! [ With a shrug and a careless wave of his hand. ] I'd get up to way worse than that if I wanted to be a public menace. [ Still kidding? EH. ]

Anyway, I can't be the only one here with nothing better to do, so who wants to play a game of Would You Rather? Look, I can even start:

[ He claps his hands together and makes a show of thinking. ]

Would you rather... Have superpowers, but die young. Or be perfectly average, and live a long, painfully uneventful life?

[ Featured! An audio player coming to you straight from Riverview Radio for PUTCHA HANDZUP!'s monthly podcast special. You can tune in every weekday starting now for all the latest from Present Mic, though! Here's a transcription for your convenience, folks!

The starting song is the ever classic 24K Magic by the Bruno Mars which fades in and out after these words from our sponsors. Over the last of the fading notes comes the very loud and very gravelly:
]

EVERYBODY SAY HAAAAAAAAY!


Are you ready to get started, huh, Riverview!? Present Mic here coming to you straight outta Tokyo!! Or... A version of Tokyo, anyway. I'm new here and I know I am not the only one! With that in mind, and with us having no submissions as a brand new show, we're going to spend a lot of time focusing on our theme of new connections! READY?!?!

[ Song number two starts up and finishes, with Present Mic talking over the last little bit. ]

Anyone else heard of that one that isn't from my world?! I can't help but wonder how many little ways our worlds overlap. We all know what spoons are, right? Anyone from a modern sort of era is going to have a TV, a mobile... Ah what else... Well, we definitely have a lot of things that overlap is the point! These little moments of familiarity are where we can start to connect with each other. Even as I've found a fair few people from home, [ He pauses to clear his throat and give a very enthusiastic PLUS ULTRA!!! and gives a cheeky little chuckle afterward ] It's still necessary for survival for us to make new connections right?! RIGHT?! I want to hear aaaaall your stories of unexpected connections.

I just recently met my first alien! How insane is that!? I'm sure to most of you - pft - that's old news!! How could he have never met an alien before?! Ah, our world had to take a few sacrifices in the name of science when quirks-- Ah, sorry! Superpowers were discovered among the population! So, Riverview gave me my first alien. I thought he had a quirk just like the rest of us, that Riverview was no different than home! Pretty straight faced kind of guy, but y'know that type I've always been easy to get along with. We're going to take our break now, don't go away, the conversation is just. getting. warmed up!!!

[ the last time she graced the network with her presence, diana of themyscira explored the wonder of food emojis. now, however, she decides to take a more traditional approach — face-to-face, well, as much as she can over these devices. while she still prefers to meet in person, this will suffice for now. what can she say, she's old fashioned like that. ]

Thanksgiving.

[ she speaks the word softly, almost contemplative, though diana offers a bright smile into the camera. ]

Back home, we had many reasons to be thankful, and we did not limit the occasion to one day. Still, family and friends. [ her smile widens. ] That is something to celebrate.

What other — [ a careful pause, her nose wrinkling a bit. ] "holidays" are there?

[ Caleb is outside! On a bench, in the afternoon light, holding his phone selfie-style to take this video, which means it's a little off center but there you have it. ]

Hey everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate.

I was wondering if people would be willing to talk to me about magic. If it even exists where you come from - if it doesn't or it's just a myth that's cool too, we can still chat - how it works, stuff like that. I got here at the beginning of the month and I've started working at Gramarye Magic Reseach so I guess you could say I'm curious? Magic seems to have different rules in different places for different people.

[ Okay, that was a lot to get out all at once. Caleb takes a breath and smiles. (It's not a bad smile.) ]

Even if you don't know the rules or you just want to lament about a lack of fried turkey or something, we could talk about that too!

[ He gives a little wave to the camera and shuts it off, but there's an addendum in text added to the video post in about 3 minutes: ]

PS - if Chase Collins gets himself arrested or on someone's shit list, can somebody let me know? Thanks.
