[ America frowns at the video for a second. She's still getting used to this sort of thing. There are more important things to speak of, of course, too. America is just, well, the following: ]

So...I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really, really [and she adds another one because it's not clear enough, right? just as she falls back on the bed she's sitting on ] really bored.

Kamala was telling me about these stories she has from back in her world. I guess it's the world I'm in now, too, though, but I haven't heard a lot of stories in my time. I just need sometime to check these stories out. [ Totally matter of fact and a little more cheerful. ] When I get back, of course. Don't know if I'm gonna start calling it my world, though.

[ She smiles again and sounds more cheerful again. ] I wanna hear about your stories. Your fairy tales and legends. Or whatever you feel like talking about.

[ooc: by all means, feel free to thread-jack and share with each other, or tell stories together. ]

None of it was mine! But I had to fight the wolves. Didn't want anyone to get hurt. Or to get hurt.

[rehandle]

So long as you're in one piece.

[starlingroad]

I am. And so are you, right?

[rehandle]

I am. Flying might be cheating, but it kept me out of the way of teeth and claws.

[starlingroad]

See. Flying is awesome and useful. I want to learn to fly.

[rehandle]

I'm not sure that's actually a teachable skill, but I admire the ambition.

Maybe one day you'll end up with a relic that lets you be as cool as me.

[ Is he joking? We can only hope. ]

[starlingroad]

Why not? Wanda can fly. And Carol can fly.

You're not that cool. Especially if you need to say you are.

[ Look, he's as cool as a favorite old man can be, and she adores him, but no. Time to knock him down a peg. ]

[rehandle]

[ You know what, kid, he's about to argue, but you can't fight a good point. Why not? And anyway, of greater immediate concern is: ]

Wow. [ KO'd by a teen, as is the way. ] Not even a thought spared for the Cloak's feelings? That's half my image.

[starlingroad]

[ He had it coming. She still adores him, at least. ]

Cloak is cool. But you're not Cloak.

[rehandle]

But am I cool in combination with Cloak?

[starlingroad]

No. That's all Cloak.

Anyone who is cool doesn't have to ask.

[rehandle]

[ Wow!!! ]

Alright, kid, I stand sorely corrected.

[starlingroad]

But you are my favorite Doctor Strange. That matters, right?

[rehandle]

[🥹]

Yeah, I guess that'll do.
