3rd Floor Common Room - Friday Evening

It was Friday night, and Kate was hanging out in the Common Room. Even worse, she was spending her time reading blog posts about Fashion Week when she'd been there with her sister every year since she was 10. Last year she and Cassie had gone & cracked themselves up trying to choose which designs would be the best superhero costumes. This year's collections though - Kate wasn't sure she was actually missing much fashion-wise. She still felt a little like a loser for not being there.

She flipped over to her sister's Instagram feed and rolled her eyes. Really, Susan? That was what you were wearing?

Kate finally pushed away her laptop and turned the tv on. To the sounds of whatever was on, she wandered over to the kitchen to make popcorn. Ooh, or there was cookie dough. Hmm, to risk turning the oven on or just to eat it raw?

"Well, it tastes perfectly all right," Ulrik defended. Since, yes, he actually was a teenage boy who sometimes did think with his stomach.

"And that," she grinned, "would be the point. So what do you do when you're not eating cookie dough or public speaking?"

"Oh, I do a lot of reading- up-time politics and technological innovation, that sort of thing." Nerd.

"...reading up from when?" Kate asked. "Did I totally miss that you're from the past?"

"1637," he said with a smile. "So I've got quite a bit of catching up to do." Albeit less than most people might think, due to already having a bit of a head start before he'd arrived in Fandom.

"Holy crap."

...possibly that didn't need to be said out loud, Kate.

"Okay, catching up might be needed. Unless knowing what happens will affect your timeline?"

Ulrik couldn't but burst out laughing at that. "Sorry," he said, after a moment. "It's just- you really don't know how right you are. You see, five years ago, there was some sort of- well, Act of God is honestly the only way to classify it. But it pulled an entire town from West Virginia, around this time period, and dumped it in the middle of the Germanies." Yes, he was aware that sounded fucking insane. SUCH WAS HIS LIFE.

Kate was from Marvel, and that still sounded completely insane.

"...so you're from West Virginia, and your mom named you Ulrik?"

Because that was what we focused on, Kate.

"Me? Oh, no. I'm from Denmark. The Americans are a more recent arrival." He frowned slightly. "What's wrong with Ulrik?" It was a perfectly respectable name!

"It's not a name I'd expect from West Virginia," she explained, unable not to smile a little. "They're more like...Bubba."

Possibly Kate was biased and knew nothing about West Virginia.
