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.

[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.

[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.

don't talk about salted breakfast meats


[Thor wants bacon, okay. bacon]

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

@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?

[forcevisions]

Yeah.

What's a diadem?

[selfimage]

Er
It's like a helmet, sort of. But fancier.

[forcevisions]

You had a helmet come out of your head?

[selfimage]

My head? I think it was my chest.
Does it make a difference?

[selfimage]

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

[forcevisions]

Not really.

[ Chest hurt made her think of what had happened to her, she hadn't guessed that was the specific part of his body it'd come from. ]

It hasn't gone back into your body? It's just lying around?

[selfimage]

Uh, no.
There's no horned-shaped hole where my heart should be, if that's what you're asking.
I put it away, I just didn't leave it out.

[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.

@wrench.wrench

[wrenchinald]

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

[selfimage]

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]

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

[forcevisions]

[ Look.

A weird dream made more sense than the truth. If it's still around, it definitely wasn't him tripping on crab poison or something. ]

What kind of pain was it? In your chest.

When I try to do things I was able to do before, it sort of ... burns. In the same place that glows when we touch.

[selfimage]

You're forgetting the traumatizing part!

[ he's not traumatized at all. ]

[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

[frostedplum]

Well, I could make out enough to get by, but until now there was a lot of squinting.
