With Great Power Comes... Shiny Faux Gold Belts, pt. 1
The Exiles disappear from the asteroid in the midst of massed armadas after the fight with Thanos, down two of their number. After the grandeur of space and sweeping cosmic nature of their last mission, its kind of a shock to the system to end up in a dusty parking lot outside a massive arena. Currently the place is empty, though signboards flash up some of the current events planned to take place there in the near future.
Just as pressing, of course, there's a couple new faces in their midst.

	"In the absence of peace, war will have to suffice." he says, steeling himself once more. "We will succeed at the missions set before us, Sarah. We have no other choice in the matter." he says. "So, how do you think the others are doing in their tasks? I have little knowledge of how inns work here, so I will need...guidance." Dane says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She nods, expression tightening again. Between the sentinels and the Exiles she's been at this to go back to 'all business' quickly.

"I think we can help each other. You probably know more about fighting demons and devils than the rest of us combined - and last world, we ran into a related problem. That kind of knowledge could mean the difference between life and death in the future, so if you're up for it, when we have time to relax, I'd love some pointers and lessons. I'll go over some of the themes most common in the majority of worlds we've been through. While its important not to ever make assumptions - which is where you may occasionally be a good person to get impressions from specifically because you don't have preconceived ideas of who is a hero or villain... it might be good for you to know some of the most common names and places so you have some benchmarks. As for the others... they'll be fine. The tasks they were given are pretty routine. Newspapers are cheap, the information should be publicly accessible... just needed people who could fit in doing it. That, and last world was really rough. I'm kind of hoping that by throwing Widow, Dani and Kevin into what are basically mundane tasks, it may help get them out of crisis mode a bit. Even so, a place to sleep, a shower and hot food would probably do all of us good. Inns, though... pay a bit of money, they give you a room with running water, a bed, sometimes television. Most worlds, you're not allowed to sleep outside."

	"Well, that's good to know. No one should be forced to fight for their life for the enjoyment of another." Dane says grimly. "The fact that people would let their children watch such is strange, though. Would you participate in something like this, Sarah? Or let your children watch it?" he asks.
