 [ Bzzt, bzzt. The phone turns on to show a giant, hazel eyeball set way, way too close to the screen. There's a soft intake a breath, something close to the sound of 'Eureka!' before the view pulls back and shows the rest of whomever's holding it. The man looks rather plain -- almost nerdy, really -- and despite the situation he's all smiles. ]

Okay, so....Normally? I think I'd be pretty freaked out about this -- well, whatever's going on. Usually, New York's a lot more quiet than this when it comes to weirdness. [ He laughs, softly. ] But! It's been kind of a living disaster all over the place these last couple months, so I guess another bout of strange dimensional shenanigans isn't all that unexpected.

[ A beat. He looks around. ]

Though, the last time it happened...there were a lot more cheerleaders. [ There weren't. ] And, uh. I didn't get dragged much further than Queens, either. So...Anyone out there know who the Avengers are? ...Or the Fantastic Four? Anyone? [...] Anyone? [...] Bueller?

[In the most bored, put upon teenage voice ever-] The Avengers are here, too. Or should I say, stuck here, too. I highly doubt the Fantastic Four could do any better. Likely worse.

American, then? How unfortunate. At least you will understand the reference when I say this place is like Hotel California, you may check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Same 1/2

Cute. Now all we're missing is a Beatle's reference, a Pink Floyd reference, Alice in Wonderland, and the Wiggles, and I'll basically have "You've been dragooned into another universe"-bingo!

--Hey, waitaminute. What's wrong with New York?

[ He narrows his eyes. ]

You're not from Boston, are you?

I prefer this over Queens.

Now, hold on a second. I just got here -- you can't open up a dialogue that!

A lot of people are asking for the Avengers today.

Can I help you?

voice;

[bythreadalone]

Well, where I'm from they've got a hotline. So...It's kind of a thing to call them when you're in major trouble?

[ A beat. ]

--I'm starting to think most people won't be able to help, sorry to say.

[errandry]

Sorry, man—this is pretty far from New York. Even past regular dimensional shenanigans.

[bythreadalone]

Well, considering that the last pandimensional bruhahaha that happened to me almost ended with me trapped in the future, I think this rates a bit lower than normal.

Any way back home, you think?

[child_radical]

I guess telling you to expect the unexpected will be redundant then.

[bythreadalone]

It's the scientific method. If I've survived dinosaurs, I think I can survive this place.

...Maybe.

I'm still holding out for the day someone shouts Avengers Assemble. It hasn't happened yet.

This place get hit by any world-altering cataclysmic events recently?

[debrief]

[ What is it with the sudden influx of people knowing the Avengers? ]

What about the Avengers?

[bythreadalone]

They're...the guys you call in case something like this happens?

They have a hotline. Why does no one seem to remember this?

[asofwar]

Many people seem to be asking about the Avengers lately...[aka people who are on Thor's team. somewhere. in the future.]

I'm going to need a card at this rate...

[ Peter shakes his head, sighing a little. ]

Back home, when a guy finds himself in another dimension, separated from his friends and family, it's usually a good bet to assume the Avengers are on it.

[merespark]

What sort of dimensional mess did you run into earlier?

And yeah, I can confirm that this one doesn't include any cheerleaders.

[bythreadalone]

Last time?

Oh, just something trying to write me out of existence, no biggie.

[lovesthecape]

Do the Young Avengers count because we are here and some of the Avengers from another world, who look much younger than I'm used to.

Any friend of Cap's is a friend of mine.

[ He squints. ]

--You look familiar, though.

[alwaysangered]

I've yet to find New York quiet.]

Well, between the alien invasions, doomsday robots, and alternate realities bleeding into ours and trying to overwrite the future--

[candothat]

You have been to other dimensions before?

[bythreadalone]

A few. But it's mostly because some of the people I know tend to drag me along with them.
