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.

There's a horned shaped hole where my heart should be, Clarke.
I'm traumatized. This has traumatized me.

[strove]

Actually, it sounds like that horn-shaped hole was just filled.

[selfimage]

You're forgetting the traumatizing part!

[ he's not traumatized at all. ]

[strove]

You're right.

I should have started by asking you about the horns.

[selfimage]

Please, I'll tell you all about my horns.

[strove]

Oh, yes, that's obviously what I need to know.

Right this moment.

[selfimage]

I take it nothing from your own world has come out of you yet.
Give it a little time. The whole thing is a tad unexplainable by the standard of explanation we have currently- for now, at least.

[strove]

Everything became nigh unexplainable the moment our chests glowed blue.

[selfimage]

Did it?
It, ah

Reminds me of someone I used to know who had her own set of abilities that sent us through tears in the interdimensional fabric. She used her foot, but it's not so strange to think that someone is using something else.
Potentially inside us.

[strove]

Could she feel what you felt?

[selfimage]

That's not what I meant.
And thank Odin's stones, no.

[strove]

I know it's not what you meant. You meant that it's normal to you, but not across this many people, and not with that factor involved.

It should be what you meant. That's what I'm saying.

[selfimage]

Of course.
I'll be certain to keep that in mind the next time I make an association.

[strove]

I'm sure you will.

You never told me your theories.

[selfimage]

Shut me down and then expect me to spill?
Come on, now. That hurts.

[strove]

I'm trying to make this into a productive conversation.

[selfimage]

You mean you're expecting me to make this productive.
Fine fine fine,
If that's what I'm good for!

There's something in our chests. Maybe not physical, but certainly something.

[strove]

There's something in our chests?

[Will Loki get that this is a joke?]

[selfimage]

[ ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF HIM, CLARKE ]

An alien chestburster, perhaps?

[strove]

[Things that are good: she hasn't yet hit the chest monster stage of her canon, which is actually a thing.]

I think we'd have more heartburn.

[selfimage]

Hey, it was a good reference, everything considered!
It's that or we could be walking portals. Who knows? It feels as if we haven't begun to scratch the surface.

[strove]

References are only good if someone gets them.

Do you think that what's in our chest may be why we're here?

[selfimage]

That just means you need to watch more movies.
And in some relation, the whole glowy chest thingy is what makes us unique. It could be why we're here, or partially responsible for it, but it's there, for whatever reason.
Like a gateway.

[strove]

A gateway.

The unfortunate thing is that that opens up a lot of options.

[selfimage]

Literally and figuratively.
It stops some things from coming through, allows room for others.
