Thank you to Yalena for getting us sorted. [Sort of sorted. Sort of.] Now that we've arrived in New Tokyo and we're stuck inside for a little while, I think we should talk about some new changes that we're facing. I can't be the only one.
But first: a good number of us are here unwillingly, but we have to wait until we're fully prepped before we can go anywhere. Heading outside in these temperatures while unprepared could cost you your life. We all hate being trapped somewhere. I think that's pretty well-established. We also hate having to do anything or be anywhere when we didn't ask for that to happen. At least it doesn't seem like we were drugged, though it wouldn't hurt for Katelin and I to take some blood samples to confirm that. We'll have to store them until we get back.
As for the changes in your lives: have you noticed any? For instance, apparently I'm a lab tech at Giles Bell. I tried to set myself up for a new internship there that I could get easily, but I got ... elevated. Or hired beyond that? I'm not sure what the right terminology is here. Has anyone else noticed this? Or had it happen to them? I got permissions to take leaves from both of my jobs. And no, I'm really not prepared to work as a lab tech. I don't even know the first thing about setting up gels.
As a bit of a personal request ... does anyone think we can make pancakes in the small kitchen here? I have a craving for them. I've not really had cakes of the "pancake" variety before, but I want them now. And if you think we can, can you make them?
[This last bit is Loki's fault.]

It's quite unsettling, if we're only noticing the publicly documented shifts.
[ @god why are they always fucking with spacetime ]

[ he's firm on the matter. can't afford to encourage reckless behaviour or one-dimensional thinking. a good step forward in public opinion, yes, but the UN is nipping at their heels. ]
It's like the game where all the cards are flipped, and you have to find matching pairs by turning them over at random, two at a time.
[ matching a change to a move in the unreality. ]

[Chill out Fitz.]
So far everything I've done has had a pretty logical translation. What about you?
no subject
That's the intention. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Did you mean to throw your lot in with the renewed Morningstar effort, by the by? Didn't catch you in the initial interest round.
[ despite all his pessimism, he's ultimately advocating for balance and caution. as for his question, well, he's curious. Sniper seems to have opinions about the direction of New Morningstar, so best to check in. ]
Every action you did? I can't imagine everything I touched translated.
[ he was pretty busy in there, y'know. and the one targeted change is hard to track, when he isn't at work. ]
Made some considerable alterations to the ruins outside the city that don't seem to have carried over, for instance.
[ he and peggy were nosy parkers, mucking around with various points in history, if the other world is as flexible in time as it seems. ]

[Sniper never had just one reason for anything they did, but this, at least, was straightforward: they had sworn an oath to their government. They weren't at liberty to take orders from anyone, even a rebel group. Not when it wasn't necessary to do what they needed to do.]
I'll need to check on a couple of things once we get back to know for sure. I didn't leave the city; what were the ruins like?
no subject
Like the earthly 21st century civilizations were dumped in the sand, half-rotted and half-preserved by the heat. Homes, monuments, office buildings. It was an expansive mausoleum above and below ground.
no subject
Maybe it was too far back, or the change needs to be bigger. What was the most significant thing that you did there?
