//001// Introductions

[politehulk]

Billy? Cassie, Kate, Eli, Vision? Tommy? Mom?

Hello? This better not be one of those alternate dimension things. My name's Teddy, I'm a teenager from New York City, and I really didn't mean to show up here. I don't even know where "here" is. Can anybody tell me what's going on? Or if you just want to show me the exit I'd love to leave you

Did you just say Billy and Tommy?

[politehulk]

Yeah, do you know them?

[tofuinthesky]

Yeah. Unfortunately, I do know Tommy.

[politehulk]

Yeah, he can be a bit of a jerk, but you get used to him I guess. I'm just glad they're here, yanno?

[tofuinthesky]

I'm still waiting on the "get used to him" part.

Wait... what did you say your name was again? Teddy?

[politehulk]

Wait, how long has he been here?

Teddy Altman, yeah.

[tofuinthesky]

I don't know, really. I met him a couple weeks ago, though. After he blew something up and told me it was an old man, a kid, and a puppy.

Oh, you're the Teddy Billy told me about. Lucky dog.

[politehulk]

That sounds like him, but he was probably lying. Probably. It's weird that he got here before me, though.

Um, he's been talking about me?

[tofuinthesky]

He was. Nothing but lies and bad music from Tommy since he got here. And Billy got here before both you and Tommy. This place is just random like that.

In good ways. Nothing to worry about.

[politehulk]

Sounds like it. Anybody you know come here with you?

I know he wouldn't say anything bad.

[tofuinthesky]

My friend Molly is here, but she only showed up the other day and I've been here a month or so. Then there's other folks from my world that are weird and creepy. I know them, they know me, but we're not like friends or anything.

Billy's too nice for that, anyway. Plus it seems he really likes you, which he should... you know.

[politehulk]

That's cool, with an entire city you guys can just avoid each other, right? Like high school.

We are sort of going out, so I hope so.

[tofuinthesky]

That's what you think. If you knew one of these guys, you can't avoid him. He keeps files on people.

Yeah, he told me you were his boyfriend.

[politehulk]

If it's for a good reason, files can be important. But creepy stalkers aren't cool.

Guilty as charged.

[tofuinthesky]

I don't know if it's for a good reason or not. He just knows... stuff. Stuff nobody told him.

Oh, I'm Karolina, by the way. That was rude of me.

[politehulk]

Hunh. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out, then.

Karolina, nice to meet you. And do you come from some version of Earth too?
