There's an large, grey, trunked beast in the room that nobody seems to be addressing. Please, look around.
Go on, I'll wait.





SIGH.

Fine. Listen up! Lend me your ears! (And all other appropriate exclamations.)
It seems that there are others that have been delivered under the same circumstances in the middle of New Amsterdam since the smiting of the Godzilla. No Morningstar intervention needed. That means..... Well, there's certainly a lot that it could mean from El's message. To those unfortunate souls that find themselves out of the bonds of complacency and into the arms of kinda-sorta freedom: Hello. I'm sure some of us would like to hear what you remember, if anything.

As for the rest of us, I suppose this means that there are other inter-dimensional beings scattered around. We're certainly not the last.
Ah, speaking of no-good bad days, my horned diadem came out of my body while I was sleeping. My chest still aches. Goodie.

In dealing with all of this, we're not even awarded the comfort of salted breakfast meats.
Please tell me someone found a stash of cheap bacon somewhere.

The same thing happened to me! I mean, not a diadem, but my glasses. I can't explain it, and I was planning to ask the rest of you about it, but here you've brought it up first. And my chest hurts too. I didn't realize it was related until now.

[selfimage]

Ah, yes. That thing.
I suppose that means it's not an isolated experience.

[frostedplum]

Nope. I can begin to explain how these glasses could have come to me without anyone else seeing. I'm still in the safehouse.

[selfimage]

Wait, let's take a few steps back.
How can you see anything without your glasses?

[forcevisions]

Do you think what happened to us and the newcomers is also what brought the monsters?

[selfimage]

Well, I couldn't tell you how.
But it smells too funny to be coincidence.

[forcevisions]

Yeah.

What's a diadem?

@thor.odinson

[ofmyth]

don't talk about salted breakfast meats


[Thor wants bacon, okay. bacon]

[selfimage]

I'm not above making everyone else suffer with me, brother.

[ofmyth]

in that you haven't changed

i could do with a great roast actually. large enough that volstagg would struggle to eat it in a sitting

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

I'd like to hear what you think it means.

Both occurrences, actually.

[selfimage]

Aren't you putting me on the spot?
Would you believe me if I said I haven't a clue?

[strove]

Oh, that's kind of the point.

And just because you don't know for sure doesn't mean you don't have an idea. I suspect that you have theories already.

I got some DELIGHTFUL breakfast bugs and that's KINDA meat.

[selfimage]

The terms "breakfast" and "bug" were never meant to be used in the same sentence.

[wrenchinald]

How do you know? Did YOU invent them?

I had thought the timing of the attack suspicious.

The only meat I have to hand is slightly questionable calamari, and I doubt even salt would improve it.

[selfimage]

Oh? Suspicious how?
Inquiring minds.

[warfares]

We're rescued from the hands of some unknown party and days later a large creature of equally unknown origins breaches the city, causing chaos and upheaval doesn't strike you as suspicious?

The city itself was clearly unprepared, which suggests that they have either never experienced an attack like that or not in recent memory.

[ The vehemence in securing the body and subsequent media black-out certainly made sense when viewed through the lens of a panicked authority trying to cover their ass. ]

@markus.manfred

[saviorexe]

I'm afraid you might find just how much I remember disappointing. But if you want hazy details, I can do my best to provide.

[Hello, it's one of those new people here, still trying to make sense of this all.]

[selfimage]

Please- hazy details are better than no details.
Feel free to share with the group.

[saviorexe]

The interior of the transport vehicle is all I really recall. Individuals in black body armor, and a woman wearing grey scrubs. The latter of which inspected us briefly before we were dropped off.

They were careful with us. We weren’t handled roughly.

@stephen.strange

[rehandle]

Out of your body

[selfimage]

You can go back and read it again if you're having trouble with it.

[rehandle]

You can't tack it on as an afterthought and not expect me to repeat it incredulously in hopes of new information

Explain.
