The urgent warnings come from villagers returning south from the lake: a creature twice the size of a man, antlered and voracious. Larger than any they've seen on the plains, stalking its way to the main village. Some might have their own names for this hunger in a skin of shadow; others might remember that it was the first to claim a life, in their village's short history.

Whatever context one has for it, best to secure all pets and loved ones before it arrives. With weapons and food stores at the inn, the call goes out to gather — And to bring back any tools, because there's no telling what doors and windows can do to stop such a creature.

She hums thoughtfully as she tries to think of a succinct way of explaining it.

"Is your world's Detroit still really bad for crime?"

[morphogenia]

"Yep." Kamala admits with a sigh. They really need to station some heroes there already or more. Who even knows because ~comics~ are all over the place. "Wait. You live in the Detroit of your Earth? Wow. No wonder you want out." And can't afford to run for the hills.

“Oh, no,” Steph corrects her immediately.

“Gotham makes Detroit look like Hawaii. I could wish I lived in Detroit.”

[morphogenia]

She can scarcely comprehend that. New Jersey is filled with weird and terrifying stuff, but that's real world scary. "Yeahhh... so when we get out of this mess? We're totally moving you somewhere else. I know we've only known each other for five minutes, but like my brother is super into charity stuff. He'll find a group that will help and/or your family leave the place that literally killed you because no. You're not doing that."

Steph chuckles half-heartedly at the offer.

"I'd love to take you up on that, but I'm still not sure I'm gonna get that chance. Whatever this place really is, however we were brought here, this is clearly a Special Circumstance Resurrection. I'm not making any long term plans until I know if it's gonna stick or not."

It would be nice, though. To be able to live somewhere so far away from Gotham it's literally in another universe.
