[ So here's Jesse and Collette, grinning stupidly at the camera and looking like they've got a plan up their sleeves. Jesse's the first to speak, rubbing his hands together excitedly: ]

Okay, so like... I heard there's superheroes here. Like real, bona fide superheroes. Costumes and everything. And, like, where I come from, you know, we don’t really got superheroes except in stories. So we were thinking it'd be real cool...

[ Collette glances at Jesse, then to the camera. She blurts out something that surely will never ever cause immense embarrassment once she learns the extent of the super heroes she's been around (discounting Barnaby and Kotetsu, who are weird anyway): ]

... If we could meet a few of you in person, and maybe even get an autograph!

[He's shaking his head and looking amused.]

Thou should have asked before my lord departed. Now thou hast lost the gem of thy collection.

[whatsupcroc]

-- Woah.

Balder? You've, um. Been hit by the time changes too?

[chubbybun]

Have I? Loki hinted as much, but I hardly trust his proddings.

I must admit, my memory is in some confusion.

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah I can imagine why you wouldn't. You're a whole lot... ( FATTER ) ... Bigger than I remember!

[chubbybun]

[You're not fooling anyone, young lady.]

Yes, I have gained a trifle amount.

'Tis odd to think that I am myself from another time, although 'tis hardly the first time magic has made a mess of me.

[whatsupcroc]

( Balder she doesn't know how to handle you gaining like twice your own mass it's kind of bizarre! )

Yeah, it's pretty odd from where I'm sitting too. Not just for you, but with everyone! Some people seem so much happier. Others... anyway, the kids are the strangest part!

[chubbybun]

[He chuckles.]

I imagine they shall be quite embarrassed when we return to ourselves. [He'll just assume they WILL return to themselves, no point in being pessimistic.] Fortunately, most of them have been most brave and even in some cases enthusiastic.

[whatsupcroc]

Who're you thinking about when you say that?

[chubbybun]

Ah, a few. [Sorry, he's too kind to be specific.] Some of them have been most fatally adorable.

[whatsupcroc]

Fatally adorable? Sounds downright deadly! You okay over there, Balder? We're not going to have to pull you out of the grasp of fatally adorable kids, are we?

[chubbybun]

I cannot say, 'tis most terrible, my dear. I am used to Volstagg's lot, who are fatal in much more direct and toy sword-ly ways.

[whatsupcroc]

Poor Balder! You live a rough life, my friend!

[chubbybun]

Truly. Someday I shall drown in all these urchins just as you are drowning in super-heroes.

[whatsupcroc]

At least it's a pleasant sounding way to go!

[chubbybun]

They are sticky, my dear. So very sticky.

[whatsupcroc]

I'll bring the towelettes.
