week 1, monday

[ new places!!

which yelena is exploring. so as she is exploring, she'll walk in on someone's (looks at smudged writing on hand) hunt for condiments. ]

This was a surprise.

[malewife]

[ We are hunting for condiments because we are envious that a stinky got soy sauce? Anyway, I haven't gotten a response for the mods, so we can pretend he's still checking things. ]

The scenery change?

[spydey]

Underwater, huh? Not sure what to feel about that one.

[ it's very scifi ]

[malewife]

If the bubble were to fail, we would all need to swim to the surface.

[ Yeah. That is not a good feel? ]

You do know how to swim.

[ Right? ]

[spydey]

I do. But I am not sure everyone here does?

But I know that some of the coins lets people breathe underwater, so whoever has those should be okay.

[malewife]

... A useful ability for this place in particular.

Would you say that you're good at teaching?

[spydey]

Teaching?

[ ... she has to think about it. ]

Decent, maybe.

[malewife]

I see. I will keep that in mind.

[ So, this place is so desolate... There is like nothing useful in this kitchen!! ]

Have you ever heard of Atlantis?

[spydey]

The ancient civilization that sunk?

... think this is it?

[malewife]

... No.

It seems strange for a place underwater to have sculptures of angels.

[spydey]

Mm... maybe we just moved into the ocean that was at the beach?

When I went exploring on a boat, we got to an area with fog and couldn't get past it. Maybe we were passing over this place.

[malewife]

That would make sense.

[ It's not like they can challenge the storm. He has tried? ]

Are you still pretending to be someone from the 80s?

[spydey]

No, I am back to my regular time period. It's safe now.

[ everyone probably forgot about the shitpost because of literally everything that happened ]

[malewife]

... How disappointing. I was looking forward to the teenagers swarming you.

[ i'm laughing ]

[spydey]

That is cruel.

I do not know the actual dance, so I would be forced to make something up and they'd go the rest of their lives incorrectly portraying Single Ladies.

[malewife]

In some of their cases, they would be inventing Single Ladies before Beyonce did.

[ ... ]

Is that something we want?

[spydey]

... we could accidentally get her sued.

[malewife]

... Then it is for the best they do not know the Singles Ladies dance.

To protect her.

[spydey]

[ she places a hand over her heart. ]

It will be our greatest achievement.

[malewife]

Instead of saving the world, it will be preserving Beyonce's career.

[ There's a huff, not much of a laugh, but kind of a laugh. ]

How do you feel about this "conflict," Yelena Belova?

[spydey]

I have no real opinion on it, since we barely don't know anything about it. Whenever I asked, I'd just be told they can't say yet.

[malewife]

There is barely any information or direct incentive...

[ There's a sigh. ]

But worlds can be endangered is what they are saying.

[spydey]

We should keep pushing for more details. That is so vague. Worlds are always endangered.

I just want to know exactly how we are meant to do something about it.

[malewife]

For something as magnanimous as bringing people from different worlds, I imagine they mean endangered on a grand scale.

[ Though he has never known small scale. ]

The most I could get out of them was that whatever they report to decided to integrate what we saw into the mix. Trial and execution.

[spydey]

Hm, it does explain why they had no idea what was going on.

But it's hard to tell if they genuinely don't know the answer to something or if they are just not allowed to tell us. It seems to be either or at any point.
