WELCOME POTLUCK

Greetings, residents! Those more observant sorts among you may have noticed a large influx of very crowded ferries. In order to welcome our new residents en masse, Town Hall is holding a potluck in Town Square. Please bring a dish if you are able and make a new friend!

All of our newest arrivals need only bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all into our community, and may your lanterns always be lit.

This event is open to all! In light of our new influx of prospective players following the Great Sail Migration, we've decided to offer a small public event to tide everyone over until the TDM this weekend.

"Oh," Chris says, casual as you please, "you must come from another of those worlds where I am fictional."

After taking a sip of their drink, Chris elaborates, "Yes, exactly like Superman. He's in Metropolis, so I've never seen him in person. I spent most of my life in New York, and recently moved to Gotham City before I was transported here. But I haven't met Batman either. I'm not an active superhero, even if I have metahuman powers."

The look on his face doesn't change.

"Superman," he says slowly, "and Batman, they ... people always told me they were just made-up stories. Imaginary."

The difference between imaginary and extinct is one that some of the adults tried hard to drum into the oldest train babies, though in later years very few of them still bothered.

"They probably are made-up stories in your world," Chris replies. "First Aid says that a member of his team back home collects all the Batman comic books. First Aid is a Cybertronian, a type of inorganic alien, and I'm pretty sure Sam Porter knows them from fictional works in his world."

"Huh." Blinking. "So it's the same as like, fairies and wizards and that? Made-up in one world, real somewhere else? Din't know that could happen with, I dunno, actual people."

(The word he's grasping for is individuals.)

"That's the multiverse for you," Chris replies, with all the world-weariness of someone who has dealt with a lot of alternate dimension, past universe, time bending multiverse weirdness.
