[Video] Arrival

[mysteryhero]

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.

Without witness, without reward... [he sighs a little] Without retiring.

They say you either die a hero or live long enough to really regret -- things. [he was going to say 'you hadn't', but he knows better than that with Rose lurking around]

[mysteryhero]

Then here's to living just long enough.

[guitar_hero]

Cheers. [Though he has nothing to salute with]

In the meantime, you could devote your energies to your hobbies. Would you perchance know how to drum?

[mysteryhero]

Drums? No.

You mean in the musical sense, I take it.

[guitar_hero]

Yes. I'm looking for a good backup.

But never mind. The point is, I like you, Beck. We should, as they say, hang out.

[mysteryhero]

What do you think we should do on this 'hang out'?

[guitar_hero]

Er... I hadn't planned that far ahead. ...See a movie for a start?

[mysteryhero]

They have a cinema here?

[guitar_hero]

They have everything here. You want it, mostly, they got it... mostly.

[mysteryhero]

A conveniently comfortable cage.

[guitar_hero]

Better than bars and a treadmill.

[mysteryhero]

A luxury prison remains a prison if we can't leave.

We're then just pampered pets.

[guitar_hero]

I get the feeling that we've been brought here to help, actually. But who and what and how has always been nebulous. But it could just as well be a prison for all we know. [if he goes another fifty years with nothing happening, then he'll start to worry]

[mysteryhero]

If we're here to help then somebody should clarify that who and what and how - and why.
