I think I've managed to figure out how to work this device. At least, I've managed to figure out how to read past entries. Tell me-are exploding buses a normal occurrence?

[There's an awkward little chuckle, which can basically be interpreted as 'oh God I hope exploding buses aren't a normal occurrence']

From the entries I've scanned, it seems that knowing people from your world is common. In that case, I'm Dr. Curt Connors. If any of my coworkers can read this, I'd appreciate knowing that you're here.

Nygma. Edward Nygma.


Deputy Mayor Nygma is suitable.

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

That's a...unique last name. I'm sure others have commented on that before.

[because he comes from a canon that prefers alliteration over bad puns]

[enigmaestro]

[JUST BECAUSE STAN LEE HAD MEMORY PROBLEMS.]

You would not be the first, so I don't recommend making the obvious connection aloud.

[SAYS THE GUY WHO KNOWS A HARLEEN QUINZELL]

Then I'll kindly keep it to myself.

[TO BE FAIR, SHE WAS AT LEAST MODELED OFF OF AN ARLEEN.]

Are you in a habit of that, I wonder?

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

I know what it's like to have something that you rather wouldn't want pointed out and are unfortunately stuck with.

[AKA STUMPY THE ARM. :C]

[enigmaestro]

I'm not stuck with -- oh, never mind. [Bristling!] Shall we humor your implicit sob story? It's not unusual for men of Norman's world to engage tragedy, I've noticed.

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[enigmaestro]

Just that his universe has a disproportional amount of trauma victims.

[Says the Gothamite.]

Merely an observation.

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

Disproportional compared to what? I highly doubt you have a universe you can use as a control group.

[enigmaestro]

And what's the evidence to your apparent assumption?

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

Because the only other universe I've seen is this one, where buses explode seemingly at random. It's entirely possible that your universe simply has less trauma than mine and this one. Or, perhaps you simply don't notice it.

[enigmaestro]

If you honestly think the latter assumption has any merit, you are a shoddy researcher for a scientist. Unless you haven't figured out how the Network archives information?

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

[There's a pause because he hasn't figured that out yet. :/ ]

Understandably, I was more worried about getting a roof over my head for the night than figuring out the ins and outs of this little device.
