[So Billy has been that bored that he's either listened and watched most of the conversations going on, and had moments of horrible home sickness. Boredom doesn't begin to cover how he's feeling. Now that the action has died down, it's just a constant moment of sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting. Waiting sucked.]
So, someone mentioned comic books. Kinda curious about who else here really read them back where they come from and what kind? What were they like? Heroes, blah, blah, blah.
I'm that bored and yeah, curious.
I'm into finding old issues, we have titles that are based on like hero teams from my world as well. Collect Avengers titles. They're uh...a team back home.

[He's trying to imagine this and it's just...it sounds amazing but so difficult to picture.]
How can a space ship be inside a phonebox?
Oh but uh, yeah. Of course. If I ever see it, I'll make sure to let you know right away!
[ video ] it'll turn up... soon.... !!! ;;
[ it's beautiful billy he'd take you for a tour if he could ]
Well, it's bigger on the inside of course. [ He'll save explaining the mechanics of exactly why that is for later. ]
Excellent. I suppose I'm stuck here without it, so I'll be around.
[ video ] aaah let's hope so
[He's love a tour, pout.]
Uh...okay. I'm going to have to take your word for that.
I mean it's pretty nice here besides the occasional trouble.
[ video ]
[ What's even cooler is an actual fantasy world but alas, not here. :c ]
Occasional trouble being what just happened with the gang, I'm assuming. And what would the pretty nice bit be?
[ video ]
[Nooo but that would be all kinds of awesome!]
Yeah, that wasn't the first time either. The whole place looks really nice and it's nice to see at night. When there's...not a curfew.
[ video ]
[ maybe someday!! ]
Tell me a little bit more about things though. I'm new. What exactly is this curfew and how many times exactly has this sort of thing happened here? [ because that's caught his interest ]
[ video ]
[He thinks for a moment.]
Well, okay I got here and something bad had already happened. Apparently a gang tried to kill some of us? But the head honcho, Evandau killed the leader. But...that sort of started gang wars. That escalated...which I was here for and a lot of bad stuff went on. Like fights in the street. Then, they tried to blow up a flipper. Because of all of that, there's a curfew in place, from sunset until rise.
[ video ]
[ he frowns because there's so much more he can say about this. why does no one ever just do the smart thing? ] Is he also the one to put the curfew in place?
[ video ]
[Billy sighs and rubs the back of his neck.]
Yeah, that was...kind of dumb, unless it was intentional and maybe to see how we would react and what we can do? He also put the curfew in place, I'm thinking to see who will listen and who'll break the rules. [He shrugs. He's had a lot of time to think about this.]
[ video ]
And that's even more curious, isn't it? Did they already know that our presence would cause the gangs to start fighting and thus, have us wash up on here? Because if that's what we're saving them from, it's almost as of they'd inadvertently caused it. [ time loops and paradoxes, he has business dealing with them ]
The people here are the Keidan. Not quite human, not familiar alien. Interesting because I know a lot of about either, but not about them. There generally isn't much I don't know about so I'm a bit worried. Also we're on a turtle. Still got to find out how that's working out. [ he sounds a bit like he's talking to himself at this point, but rambling to billy has sort of reminded him that maybe there's more he's meant to find out about here first before he leaves! ]
Right, sorry — so we've got a police state going on, don't we? Very nearly, very not good and very much going to get me in trouble. But perhaps it'll get me right to where I want to be.
[ video ]
But if they knew we would be the cause of it, then why would they bring us here to save them, when if we weren't here, the gang fighting wouldn't have escalated to the levels it did? It doesn't make sense unless their gluttons for some kind of punishment.
Yeah, I noticed they weren't exactly human, I think they have slight shape shifting abilities, and they're tougher than a baseline human. So far the turtle hasn't done anything though, I don't even know if it's aware there's a huge city on its shell.
[Billy's chipping in, regardless, with his own.]
Yeah. They aren't the best but they seem to be doing an okay job some times. I mean maybe I'm just spoiled from the police I have back home.
[ video ]
Perhaps it was prophesied, if you believe in that sort of thing. Mind you, I really think it's nothing more than a story, but it could be a fixed point in their time. Which really wouldn't make much sense because it isn't as I can feel the timeflow being stuck here. So they've got to have brought us here wanting the fighting to escalate. Which makes about as sense to me as it does to you, but like I said -- maybe I ought to get a word in with the people in charge here.
What're they like back home? You've been here longer than I have. Give me a bit of a comparison.
[ video ]
[Billy pauses for a moment.]
Hard working, I mean they do their job, hit and miss whether you get to deal with the good cops or not, but that's normal, right? I live in New York, so it's a tough place. We have bad guys blowing up places, taking hostages or just fighting on a weekly basis.
Here it's...we're told about a curfew, not told why we're here. There's cooperation but it just feels really...low?
[ video ]
[ He nods, listening as Billy describes the situations. ]
It seems like they're trying to keep you placated, but only just. I had a lovely chat with some of the other inhabitants here, but they weren't too chatty about what's going on inside the city. It seems like it's a common sentiment amongst everyone here.
[ video ]
I think they've gotta be hiding something, when I was on the cart, I hardly got any information besides the basics. People with powers also saw them really badly dampened for a while.
Oh right! Evandau's probably best contacted from the station? I don't know if you can go in and just ask to see him or what though.
[ video ]
People that don't talk. Police that don't explain. I think we're beginning to sense a pattern here. I might have to pop in to the station. Doesn't matter if I can just go in. I've never been great at making appointments anyways.
[ wait something just occurred to him ] --what do you mean powers?
[ video ] DW is eating words from my comments /sob.
[Billy smiles.]
Just try not to get into too much trouble. Oh...uh like superpowers. Flying, lightening bolts, fire...powers.
[ video ] /kicks it!! :C
[ He smiles back with a sort of glee that really shouldn't be there because of the things they're talking about. But adventures are what gets his hearts a kickin! ] Oh, but getting into trouble's the best part.
Someone's been reading a bit too many comics.
[ video ]
[Despite the bad things that had happened, he's still able to keep a smile about him. Okay, it kind of creeps into a grin.]
Trouble can be fun.
No, someone lives in my worlds version of New York City. [And also has the same powers but, ha ha not a secure connection.]
[ video ]
That's what I'm talking about! There's an offer on the table if you want to get into some.
And they've got these powers?
[ video ]
Heh, I don't see how it can hurt any.
Course!
[ video ]
You say "course" like it's an obvious thing. It really isn't. Humans evolve, sure, but they're not exactly known for suddenly developing the natural ability to fly. [ amongst other things ]

[Man, that was never going to get easier to explain. Billy turns the feed to an encryption.]
Where I'm from, they can. We have what're called mutants and people who were caught in accidents of given gifts by people. [He feels okay with the Doctor so he taps his magic and there's a light blue light coming from below the screen and he lifts his hand which is covered in it. He keeps it concentrated to there.]
I'm a mutant and I can do more than just fly. Though flying isn't something natural to me, it's magic.

30th century as I know still had rudimentary time travel technology. Not really time travel, but enough of a jump to make people feel like one. Although to enter into the timestream itself is a bit different. We've probably got an alternate reality thing going on, although -- you already did mention that she'd created different timelines. As long as no paradoxes were created because those can be some very, very bad things.
[ and then just watching because what. no really, what. he's really seen all sorts of species that are possible of things very similar to that but Billy looks human and ...magic? Not really something he buys into. ]
Magic. Magic? Are you sure that whatever accidents they might have been [ and he sounds dubious enough about that ] simply didn't alter their genetic data? Like yours. How did you first discover you could do that?
[ video ] Encryption 60%
[Billy frowns at the question of how he discovered his powers.]
I stood up to a bully and he started to beat me up then boom, my powers came out. I don't know which part is my mutation and what's magical. But I'm thinking that the elemental kinesis is the mutation.
[The bullying is sort of a staple so it's not something he really focuses on for long.]
Some of them had their genetic data altered by whatever happened, some didn't.
