So, people of Asgard, this is your resident Wendy Watson of Freyr House and O.2.S.T.K -- where we fight evil so you don't have to! -- speaking, and I have a question for you all. The question comes with a little preface, though, so bear with me for a minute here.

Back in my home "world," we've got aliens, werewolves, ghosts, mad scientists, vampires, zombies, and every other type of classic, comic book evil, so I'm curious, if other worlds are like that too.

What sort of supernatural, extraterrestrial, and just plain hinky stuff would I find if I went to your home town?

[He gives this a thought before wondering what the heck "hinky" means... and then turns on the video feed.]

Would demigods count...?

[ video ]

[watsowned]

[ Hinky is a member of a very special part of Wendy's vocabulary. ]

Demigods totally count. Tell me more.

[deputychief]

It depends on your baseline culture, though, doesn't it? It sounds like you are from some version of twentieth or twenty-first century Earth, but even something like a computer could be "hinky" to others.

[watsowned]

I did specify the specific sort of hinkiness I was interested in, but you have a point. Weirdness is always relative.

[voice]

[kaderp]

I do not think my world has anything like that.

[voice]

[watsowned]

You are both missing out and lucky.

The supernatural, hypernatural, extranatural, and I have a love-hate relationship.

[windwalker]

... Gods? Demigods...? Devils? Angels? Demons? Weird things!

But normal people shouldn't see them, right?

( video )

[watsowned]

Weeell, where I'm from? Ghosts can't be seen unless you're missing your pineal gland or wearing super special sunglasses. Everything else is 100% visible, though.

Except that's not how it works where you're from, I'm guessing.

[AHAHAHAHAHA OH MAN HE WILL NEVER TELL. NEVER EVER EVER EVER. But this post does interest him.]

I'm afraid we do not have anything like that- [A pause as he tries to figure wtf half those things are.] back home, bella.

[watsowned]

[And suddenly, a mysterious and distinctly Italian voice reply.

The plot thickens.]

You come from a normal version of Italy then, I take it.

[furrows]

[Oh wow, she actually got Alan to use video. Sup Wendy.]

I've got a good batch of "crazy" and "should not exist" back on my world. I keep getting chased by it.

[watsowned]

[Sup Allen. Welcome to the land of video.]

A man after my own heart. I'd give you a high-five, but, alas, we're talking over a Dick Tracy-esque communicator bracelet.

So, wanna supply some specifics about your world's special brand of that-which-is-crazy-and-should-not-exist, instead?

[video...or action if we want them to be hanging out? cause they should hang out more.]

[extraordinarymuse]

Nothing.

[No, really Wendy. We've had this discussion before. Kate's world is so normal and bland it's almost boring.]

But I'll be interested to see what kind of reaction you get here. Oh also - [CAUSE KATE WOULD HAVE MENTIONED TO WENDY ABOUT BEING BFFS WITH PEPPER AND THIS PLAN.] Guess who finally got to meet Iron Man.

[action! hanging out aww yeah]

[watsowned]

I hate you. We are no longer friends.

[IRON MAN. FREAKING IRON MAN.

At least it wasn't the Flash or Wendy really would die.]

And by that I mean, I am both jealous and happy for you. Also, tell me everything about it because I bet it was awesome.

[airborn]

We have mutts in Panem. No aliens or ghosts, though.

video

[watsowned]

Care to elaborate on the mutts then?

[video]

[gunsgoldgirls]

We got a witch, you wanna talk to her? Oh, some demon girls too. Other than that, my brother's pretty extraterrestrial.

[video]

[watsowned]

That depends, is she a good witch or a bad witch? 'Cause I kinda like my life without evil flying monkeys and sans the phrase "my pretties."

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Werewolves, aliens, vampires and zombies are all purely fictional where I'm from! The closest thing we got to a mad scientist is our neighbour, Professor Agasa. There's lots of gangs, serial killers and just plain murderers or thieves or kidnappers though.

[video]

[watsowned]

I think every world has that kind of stuff. With good comes evil, and all that jazz.

[unimpressive]

There's monsters back home, but none of the ones you're talking about.

video;

[watsowned]

Then I am definitely interested in your monsters. If you don't mind sharing.

VIDEO.

[clearwater]

[so offended ok werewolves are not evil.]

Werewolves, vampires. That's all I know about, anyway. But werewolves aren't evil... [petulant face.]

VIDEO.

[watsowned]

Not always. The second werewolf president was a real sweet guy....wolf. Wolf guy. And you're cool, obviously. But, y'know, two-sides to everything. There are good wolves and bad wolves.

[dataprotector]

O.2.S.T.K?

[text - anon]

[watsowned]

Organization Too Secret To Know.

[Video]

[saving_sound]

...Well, there was a demon... does that count?

[Video]

[watsowned]

I would say a demon counts, yes. Care to elaborate?

video.

[repulsors]

Hm. Depends on your definition of "mad scientist". I think I might know someone who could fall under that definition.

[ Himself. ♥~ ]

But hey, what's this O.2.S.T.K? Fighting evil, huh? [ Do you also win love by daylight? ] Tell me more.

video.

[watsowned]

[The caller ID says Tony Stark.

oh my god

Okay, Wendy. Keep it cool. Make the boss proud.

Or just freeze up up and beam at Tony like he's God's gift to this world. That works too.]

Uh, O.2.S.T.K. is the Organization Too Secret To Know, which is a name my boss came up with for the company we work for as a joke, since the organization is so secret, we aren't even allowed know it's name.

All we really know is that they want us to be the middlemen between the normal and the abnormal. Hence the "fighting evil so you don't have to" motto. It's kind of vague, but it pays well in justice. Or something.

[entreats]

Witches, demons, supernatural creatures in pretty skimpy outfits.. take your pick, really. [ still, her tone is pretty deadpan as if it's not even that big of a deal to her. ]

(frozen comment)

[whatagoodgirl]

We have giant robots, and there's Koyemshi... I don't know what he was, though. Castiel says he might've been a spirit possessing a doll.

[ Something about the way this woman speaks reminds her of Flynn Rider, and that this woman reminds her of Flynn Rider makes her instantly half-curious and half-wary. Mostly on principle. ]

What are zombies? I've heard of those other things. I didn't know being mad was a "hinky" thing to be, though. That means weird right? [ That's what she's getting from the context at any rate. ]

[badluckdelivery]

Well let's see...

My younger sister/daughter figure is made out of nanomachines.
My partner has an eye that let's him see the future, or see things in slow motion these days.
And there's Tao users who have super powers depending on who they are.
Including a talking monkey who can shapeshift right down to your memories. Or this school girl who can control heat and fire...

And I use to be able to shoot electromagnetic accelerated shots from my gun, made it a Railgun.

[respectus]

Did someone say mad scientists? We've got those in spades.

Everythin' else? Not so much.

[video]

[wasthemaster]

Werewolves, vampires, ghosts, giants, merpeople, unicorns, centaurs...shall I continue?

video.

[watsowned]

Nah, I think I'm getting the idea. You're from some fantasy land, right?
