So, uh.

[Teddy is sat on the couch in his apartment, looking a bit... somber, honestly. Between the apparitions and everything else, he's not sure he needed another thing on top of it. But here it is. He sits forward to place a tech canister on the table in front of him.]

I just got one of these. I'm pretty sure I know what it does since I saw my boyfriend use it and age up years before my eyes, but... I guess my question is: how do you even know if you want to use it? I mean, maybe my future will be amazing, but maybe I'll come out of it with some horrific knowledge I don't even want.

Or I could come out of it a bald old man. Who knows, right?

[And that'd probably put a crimp in his dating life, definitely.]

I think I want to use it though. Maybe. I'll give it a few days. I guess I just figured I should also give people a head's up if I come around looking a lot older.

So I'm new here and I figured this might be the best place to ask around for suggestions. What are some of your favorite distractions here? Places, things to do... I'm open to anything.

[He just kind of needs any sort of distraction really bad at the moment. While there's work to do and getting to know his surroundings... he could use something more involved than any of that, something that ca help him stop thinking for five minutes. Keeping busy seems like the best use of his time than any of the other options... which basically consists of moping by himself somewhere. Not all that productive.]

[FILTERED FROM: @WICCAN]

And just one more thing. Has anyone arrived here later than other people they knew back home? Friends, significant others, family... Not in the 'I came here from the future' sense, but in the 'I arrived late to the city and they seem to have made a new life without me' one. Was it hard to find your place with them again or did you even try? I know it's natural that people would change over time, that maybe they'd have a life that doesn't even include you, but... I have no idea how to deal with it. It feels kind of like a bad dream I'm managing to make worse.

[ the view this time is of nico, sitting atop a gravestone. there's a fire crackling nearby, the glow making him look even more gaunt and sinister than usual ( if the dark hair, italian cheekbones emphasized by dark circles under his eyes, and the nearly all black clothing decorated with skulls aren't enough ). against the headstone he's sitting on rests a lethal looking, pure black sword.

it might seem like the beginnings of a horror movie of some sort, except nico is currently munching on french fries while gazing at the toy figurine he got with his quarantine equivalent of a happy meal. it's a pirate, of all things. ]


For those of you who are unaware, I am providing funeral services for anyone who decides to die heroically. Shroud burning, free of charge.

[ cheerful, isn't he. ]

Fortunately, I haven't had to do so yet, but where I'm from it's pretty common, so I might as well offer it here too. Trust me, though. Burning your body is best. You don't know who might decide to raise you from the dead.

[ and he gives a snap of his fingers. the earth at the feet of the tombstone he's sitting on begins to shift and soon enough, a skeletal hand begins climbing out. nico flashes a wry grin, and then turns the feed off. ]

[When the feed flicks on, Thor's face engulfs it before he notes to move it back a little more. He's alright with technology, but not great.]

Hello. [He says, and he needs to pause because he feels like he's talking to himself.]

In amongst recent.. events, I thought it might be of some use to offer training in strength and combat. We are well protected, to be sure, but a new start in life can be enriched with new skills. If you are interested in learning, I can make myself available.

And on that note- [The camera shifts as he stands, and he swivels it to pan over a sad, indoor collection of potted plants. All in varying states of death. It's a horror movie for plant-based life forms.]

In the interest of learning new skills, I have begun to garden. I am aware it has not gone to plan. [He swivels the camera back to himself, unimpressed.]

I need a hardy plant, one that can withstand my novice abilities. I've no care for something pretty, I just want it to live. [The saddest request he's ever made, he's sure.]

If you have experience in this area, I'd be interested to know why my plants have made a murderer of me. I can provide coffee for your services.

[...He'd picked his username when they pulled him here because superheroes and people on the internet have one thing in common: secret identities. He'd also kind of assumed there wouldn't be any actual Avengers here. So he'd given them his wiki-editing handle, and he maybe regrets it a lot now, but at least he can make this post without his real name attached, or he probably wouldn't make it at all.]

Just a question, but if you knew someone here could tell you about your future... would you ask them about it? Would you want to know, or not? Would it make a difference if they seemed pretty uncomfortable about it?

[He's not sure he does want to know, honestly. But at the same time, Billy is being just a little weird about it, and maybe knowing would be better, in case he lets it slip later anyway. He just can't decide.]
