What do people do for hobbies around here? Aside from volunteering for medical torture.

Has Victorian flower languages come back in style yet? Bookbinding and leathercraft seems obsolete by now, but what about backgammon or cards. I once lost a game of trappola to the Duchess of Ferrara, she was shark. Scrabble? Does that work with the translator? Pomme de terre is about twice as many points as potato.

[ please enjoy that this translates to "potato is about twice as many points as potato" unless you also speak french.

anyway joe is bored come talk to him ]

Who wants to bring fencing back in fashion?

u know all u had 2 say was that u wanted a sparring partner and u would get volunteers in droves

id be 1 of them ftr

[Verbal sparring as well as physical, despite what his atrocious text grammar might otherwise indicate. How is he even doing that when the implant literally inputs your thoughts onto the network?]

[malta]

Good to know.

[ CURIOUS. ]

Is that the only thing to do for fun around here?

[ishotyouuu]

[Wow, way to belittle his totally healthy Blood Knight tendencies, Joe.]

i mean

u could always see if some of the other travel hubs r open rite now? ive only been 2 rio but there should b other cities u can get 2

they should b on the outskirts of this city

look 4 the weird geometric shapes

[malta]

[ TOTALLY HEALTHY, WADE ]

How do you get the implant to text like that?

[ not that he is totally ignoring the info, he'll swing back to it, but he needs to know. this is important. ]

[ishotyouuu]

text like what

[malta]

Like a teenage girl in an early 2000s romantic comedy.

Not knocking it, curious.

[ishotyouuu]

would u like it better if i texted more like a 60 y/o suburban mom

just give me a sec 2 figure it out and im sure i could find a way 2 add liek 50 emotes 2 every text

[malta]

I would not like.

I'm intrigued how the implant works. I think in a now probably archaic Arabic, generally. I don't usually think about what language I think in but I've been using this network by thinking in a more modern vernacular.

[ does he sext in medieval arabic? we don't know. but the real question is what the fuck does the inside of wade's brain look like. ]

[ishotyouuu]

i mean

id tell u how i did it but i dont rly wanna break the fabric of reality

u kno how it is

[He's shattered the fourth wall enough as it is in his own canon.]

[malta]

We don't want that.

[ probably, maybe. maybe it would hurl them all home. a consideration for another time. ]

[ishotyouuu]

wait a sec

u said u think in archaic Arabic?

is this one of those time-traveling things bc i kinda know a lot about those

[His best frienemy was from the future and also an alternate timeline. Don't ask, it's comic book logic.]

[malta]

I'm old

[ishotyouuu]

how old is old

[Because he knows a lot about that too.]

1/2

[malta]

1446

[malta]

I have been informed I can't count the 500 years between my time and the present.

953 1/2

[ishotyouuu]

lol and yet u sound like a kid who thinks that 1/2 is important when it comes 2 ur age

srsly tho i guess by ur standards im just a baby huh

[malta]

Age isn't a measure of maturity. You're only a baby if you act like one.

Plus my dearest friend is older than the wheel. We're all babies to someone.

[ishotyouuu]

damn how many of u are there

[malta]

Enough for a band

[ishotyouuu]

are we talking Beatles or more of a Slipknot situation here

jussayin thats not a rly good indicator of numbers

[malta]

Well it's not the Glenn Miller Band.

The most there's been was six.

[ishotyouuu]

[Did... did this guy just out-reference him? Wade feels strangely put out, not the least because he has no fucking idea who the Glenn Miller Band is. Maybe if Joe had said the Steve Miller Band, but something tells Wade that wasn't what he meant. Was this what it was like to talk to him?]

oh okay so closer to Rolling Stones numbers, i get u

is immortality the only thing u all have because that seems like a pretty specific skillset 4 a team of superheroes

[...Wade you belong to Marvel. You can barely swing a dead cat without hitting someone who's got immortality as at least a latent power.]

[malta]

We're not superheroes so I don't think we need anything else.

[ishotyouuu]

mutants then

idk what u call urselves on ur world but that seems to be the general term in mine

[malta]

Mutants works. I could be a mutant.
