[sufferably]

_{( A few hours after arriving, and after meeting up with Jim and figuring out some basics, because he's not about to make a public post that makes a fool of him in front of a bunch of people, Bones picks up the comm and says, rough southern accent and all-- )}

Alright. There's obviously no point asking about how to hail a ship that's in orbit two hundred years in the future.

_{( A great start, by Dr. Leonard McCoy. He sounds all business, and you can almost hear him rolling up his sleeves. )}

If this is a city of heroes, I'm willing to bet it's also a city of danger. _{( He says that derisively. )} If you were going to rate this place based on how easy it was to get sick, injured--how would it compare to your home ti--that is, world? Are buildings getting knocked down, people getting crazy interdimensional diseases?

I like to know what I'm working with.

Considering my world of origin...

[Tap, tap, tap, a pack of cigarettes on a desk. Thinking.]

'pends on the case, I s'pose. And the person. But overall, it's a great deal more dangerous. There's that four thousand. For a reason.

Medical's better, but it doesn't outweigh the risk. And the cost. Though that's a uniquely states problem.

( hello bones. have a red-skinned, pointy eared alien doctor. )

That would depend - Korugar far calmer while my job means I deal with any number of large scale disasters on a somewhat constant basis. While others have warned that life is not easy here, the number of life-threatening situations is far fewer than I expected.

The danger presented by this environment depends entirely on the abilities of the person experiencing it. I personally do not find it so different from my dimension of origin.

Horrible death is kinda the City's favorite hobby. Right after posting about cats on the internet.

It kind of varies here. This week, it's mostly fine. Next week, maybe some kind of horrible imPort plague again.

Compared to where I'm from, strange emergencies are a lot more common... but it seems like most them are fixed much more quickly. Probably because of how many different people with special skills and abilities have been gathered here by the 'Porter.

[She lets out a little sigh.] Of course, we cause most of the trouble to begin with, so...

You try really, really hard.

If you want to know how crazy this place is, I'd go outside and look up at the moon.

[ aaaa and theres another one. the nerd in her is quietly screaming. ]

0/10 wouldn't recommend.

You know Bones, we really need to work on your people skills.

[ like how to say hello I'm new and I would like to make new friends ]

What, are you some kind of fucking bubble boy or something?

The City's more prone to large-scale emergency situations than back home, but as other people have said, there's usually someone with the experience to deal with it.

I can't say I've personally experienced diseases or seen buildings getting knocked down here, but based on some of the headlines from last year, it's been known to happen.

[Hank just sounds positively giddy.]

How it compares to home? Oh, you wouldn't want to know that, my home tends to be a stressfully overdramatic place on those very subjects. Not to say the danger here isn't real, as it certainly is, but it could just as certainly be worse!

This is actually more or less the same level of danger we faced back at home. Less giants, more world-travelling but the idea is more or less the same.

[Hello Bones there is a smiling alien on your screen and he just looks pleased to see you.]

Accurate hypothesis. City has unique dangers due to Porter and ImPort presence. Unpredictable events, hostile creatures. Not more dangerous than own world, but- [Inhale.] Always exciting.

Inferring you are from the future. Always good to see fellow temporal displacee. Professor Mordin Solus, from the 22nd century.

Nothing even nearly so interesting, I'm afraid. Though we were the targets of a very specialized epidemic a few months back.

[viced]

Well, er, doctor. You're working with a lot of fucking danger.

[greenblood]

Lieutenant McCoy. Interdimensional disease might be difficult to deal with, even for yourself.

[futureleader]

No. But I could knock a building down for you, if that's what you want.

[promised_victory]

You have a ship that can sail through the stars?

[tesselate]

Two hundred years in the future, huh? What's that like?

[Is it exactly like Star Trek? Is it?]

[tushiki]

It's been fairly tame lately.

Considering that where I come from, planets are exploding, invincible demons are committing mass slaughter, and universes are dying, I'd say this place is fairly chill by those standards. It's still pretty terrible here, but you know, the not being in constant mortal peril part is cool.
