Okay this looks like home, but its not.

So, I've been brought to another world. I guess I should check that chapter in my superhero manual

Well...anyone know where I can get some waffles?

Depends on where you got dropped in! Plus, there are some serious things to consider if you're waffling on a breakfast-related decision. Are you content with chain restaurants, or are you a homemade waffle purist? There are differences between IHOP and waffles made with love that some people just don't understand.

Well, I got dropped in Manhattan. I think I'm a borderline homemade waffle purist. Chain restaurants just can't touch them.

Same here. I'd rather make my own, but if the waffle mood hits, I'll take what I can get. In extreme cases of sudden carb therapy, mashed potatoes can be a good substitute.

I can't help point you to any Ma and Pa type diners in Manhattan, though. I got dropped into NM. Not a bad place, if you like...rocks. And sand. And nothing. We have a monopoly on rocks and sand and nothing.

I guess I'll have to make my own...

Rocks...and sand...sounds like so much fun...

You can always hope that someone on this network knows a good place? Wish I could help you, but I've only reviewed what TorC has to offer.

The thrills never end around here. Trust me.

I kind of feel sorry for the Batman in NM. Surveying the town from the top of a budget motel in the middle of nowhere makes him look like a crazyface, not a force of intimidation.

Wait...Batman is here too?

[yousonofabat]

Multibats. This place screws around with timelines and alternate universes. There's a Batman in TorC, at least one in Seattle, and a mixed bag of other bat-related vigilantes. There's no Gotham, so they're spread out.

Re: [text]

[breakspromises]

So Gotham isn't here...

So, who else is here? And you sound like you're from Gotham. Who are you?

[text]

[yousonofabat]

It flat out doesn't exist in this universe. Never has. In spite of that, there's Batmen, Red Robin, Batwoman, a girl Robin, and...a whole list of other Gothamites. This place just has a thing for the good ol' bats and birds, I guess.

Yeah, I am from Gotham. I'm Steph. If you're ever in New Mexico, you should look me up. It's not every day that I meet someone who loves waffles the way I do.

[breakspromises]

Wait....what?

You're Steph....as in Stephanie Brown?

[yousonofabat]

Yes?

Wow, when did I become a somebody?

[breakspromises]

Okay this is freaky.

You're me. Or at least another version of me I guess? At least one thing remains constant, my love for waffles.

You have got to be kidding me. Freaky Fridays are supposed to be kept to Friday.

[astonished tone] You're...a future me.

Yeah no kidding. Wait...what day is it here?

You know how sometimes teachers make you write essays on "things you'd tell your younger self if you could ever meet them"? That's not supposed to be a real thing. It did not prepare me for--- [ she gesticulates vaguely ] ---this.

It's Monday. Which figures, really. Monday earns the hate it gets.

The one time a meaningless assignment would actually be useful.

Yeah...now I know why Garfield hated them so much. Sorta.
