[ Today on your omnicom: a slightly baffled looking Sam, sitting cross-legged on one of the common area couches with a soda and half a bowl of popcorn. ]

'K, so.

Remember how Chief went back home for like two minutes, but got back here months later?

I guess it works both ways, because I was definitely back for a while but I'm like 95% this is the same splatterball game I was watching right before I went.

[ He stops to eat a handful of the popcorn, and - ]

- wow, yeah, this stuff didn't even have time to get cold.

So, you know. In case anybody was wondering.


(ooc: it'ssss a canon update. Sam's about current now, up to right before Champions starts - which means that if you're avoiding Civil War II spoilers, give me a holler and I'll make sure not to tag you with any!)

In my own defense, I'd never actually seen your face when I came up with that. It was strictly in comparison to the first Nova guy. Didn't know it was actually accurate.

[Aaaand there's a bit of a smirk. Gotta love when the universe agrees with his bullshit.]

That said, I am not the younger version of anything, save maybe an alt-universe adult self who apparently launched himself into the sun and is thus irrelevant, so I'm just a regular Dave. But I'm open to suggestions.

[headinjuries]

Maybe something that plays on the pajamas.

[turntex]

Already got a title from the pjs. Or, got the jammies because of the title. Whatever, there's a relation.

[He pinches the bottom of the front of his shirt to pull it taut and better display the symbol on it, a bright red gear.]

"Knight of Time". But yeah, I don't think that really rolls off the tongue as well as "babyface".

[headinjuries]

You know, I hear knight and I think, like...armor or something.

[turntex]

Hey, I didn't choose the outfit. Armor wouldn't have done shit against most of the baddies we were stuck with back home anyway.

[headinjuries]

What were you fighting?

[turntex]

[That is a hell of a question. Dave pauses, mouth twitching like he's not sure whether he can find hunor in this yet, and takes a breath to prepare himself for this response..]

A crazy carapacian man with pool balls for eyes, an alt-universe cyborg gangster version of that same dude, another alt-universe version of him where he was a space-warping ultimate winged-dog furry, a giant green skullmonster-puppet demon, a whole mess of mobster leprechauns with stupid superpowers, and an overpowered fish alien empress who also happened to be Betty Crocker.

[He was counting them off on his fingers as he went, and he nods as he hits the end of his list.]

Yeah, those were the important ones.

[headinjuries]

[ Sam's actually willing to accept most of that, given that he pals around with a talking raccoon with a gun fetish and a psychic Russian dog who runs a space station. So actually, the part of that that makes him double-take is - ]

Betty Crocker?

[turntex]

Yeah, the fishbitch is also the batterwitch. Apparently she conquered Earth in an alternate universe, after getting the Insane Clown Posse set up as co-presidents of America and later flooding the planet.

[Also Guy Fieri is the antichrist.]

[headinjuries]

That sounds way more interesting than "oh, it's an alternate universe where Captain America is a girl."

[turntex]

Go big or go home, I guess.

[A beat.]

Was there really a girl version of Captain America?

[headinjuries]

I dunno what designation that Earth would be, but somewhere out there.
