Hey. So my name is Dr. Nathaniel Heywood, but most people just call me Nate. I'm a historian, not a medical doctor, so if that's something you need, I probably can't help you much there. But if you ever want some good trivia about different period's in Earth's history, I'm your man.

Anyway. That's not this is about. I have a question. So it seems like our powers from home don't work here, and we have cool new powers instead which you know, is cool and all, but say if some of your abilities back home had neutralized a disease you had struggled with most of your life back home -- would you find yourself suffering from it again here?

Just, you know, asking for a hemophiliac friend of mine.

[that hemophiliac friend is himself.]

Any feedback or theories would be appreciated.

Well, good luck.

And nice to meet you, Nate. I’m Simon. How about some of that history trivia?

[annalist]

Nice to meet you, Simon.

Did you know Grover Cleveland was the only president of the United States to serve two non-consecutive terms? He was both our 22nd and 24th president.

Huh. No, I didn't. Canadian, so...

But hey, sounds like we're from similar Earths. That's always sort of comforting.

[annalist]

Ah, that's cool! Canada has a lot of its own interesting history too.

It is. It sounds like there are people from all sorts of worlds and Earths here.

Have you ever been? I’m from Toronto. It’s really a great place.

[ as evidenced by the wistful fondness in his voice, and that’s while sunk into full-on “during this conversation Canada is definitely not an unrecognizable scorching crater where I didn’t exist even before the comet hit” mode.

anyway. go to Canada. ]

I have -- I grew up in DC so it wasn't a long drive to go up there.

[not that he traveled a lot as a kid, but sometimes, when he was well enough, they did.]
