Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

Yeah, see? Jealous.

So, why're you hiding the alien thing? There are wizards and blue people here. It's not that weird.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's a big deal at home? And I spent a long time having to hide it. I'm not used to talking about it yet.

[helladoomed]

Then maybe don't rip the doors off the laundry machines?

[Yeah definitely teasing.]

It's kinda obvious.

[takingkarabusiness]

In my defense, my power kind of just surged without my consent!

[helladoomed]

...How's that work?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm kind of like a solar panel? And we didn't have a sun there for awhile, so...

[helladoomed]

You get stronger from the sun.

[Chloe looks...thoughtful.]

[ooc: I have no idea how you feel about fourth walling.]

[takingkarabusiness]

It sounds weird, I know.

[ooc: i'm cool with it. she'll learn about the multiverse sooner or later]

[helladoomed]

[Chloe's more of a nerd than she wants to admit, but mostly movies.]

Were you like, sent to earth as a baby?

[takingkarabusiness]

...12, actually.

[helladoomed]

From...what planet?

[takingkarabusiness]

Krypton?

[helladoomed]

[Five...four...three...Did Chloe's face just light up? Yes. Yes it did.]

Holy fuck you're Supergirl.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ...this look is surprise and some panic ]

I. Um.

You've heard of me?

[helladoomed]

[Yeah I saw your movies and grew up watching you in cartoons.' Wait that probably wouldn't work.]

Uuuuuhm. Yeah. Totally heard of you.

[takingkarabusiness]

So, you're from my world?

[helladoomed]

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooo?

[Well shit.]

[takingkarabusiness]

...Okay.

[helladoomed]

It's just..kind of...weird to explain?

[takingkarabusiness]

...Okay.

[helladoomed]

[She's not sure what to do with all these 'okays'.]

Do you want to know?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ all these okays are "i won't press but i'm not satisfied, either" so you're on the right track ]

I mean, yes? It's kind of strange when someone's tells you they know you, but not really.

[helladoomed]

Okay so like.

...there's a movie about you? And a ton of comic books. And maybe a tv show? And a lot of cartoons.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ THIS IS VERY CONFUSING ]

[helladoomed]

[Chloe just sort of shrugged.]

There's Superman too, if that makes it less weird? Or more weird, I don't know...
