I wish there was more to do— but I just met him, and it's gotta suck for him that a stranger knows, I don't wanna make it worse by bringing in more people.
[That's more weird information than he can really process in a short span of time when he's already hit his stress limit, so Noah just stares for a moment and finally, slowly blinks.]
Sorry. Sometimes people who are from fiction in someone's world are real and show up here. Most of the superpowered people are at least vaguely familiar, like, 'oh yeah, that guy's a brooding hero with super strength, just like the one from the Brooding Hero series.'
I don't bring it up, but I know Strange does because of the whole multiverse thing. Like, if you met Frankenstein you wouldn't go like "Oh hey, I read all about your hubris."
[ at least Caleb wouldn't, but now that he thinks about it— ]
Actually, some people would probably do exactly that.
You know, when I first met a superhero I started thinking about it a lot. A lot a lot, like if Aragorn showed up I'd lose my shit, right? But also, what if someone was like "Oh, you're the guy from that one novel" like, how hard an identity crisis would I have over it? And I figure, even if I'm a book or a movie or whatever in someone else's world, doesn't mean I'm not me, right?
And actually knowing Doctor Strange has helped a lot with that, I like the guy a lot, but he made this one drunken post about blowing up the moon or something? He's not a cool comic book hero, he's a normal guy with way too much power.
[The bridge of his nose scrunches. He's gonna be thinking about this for a while now too. At least it's something to take his mind off of Andy's possession problems?]

He didn't want to worry him. But I told him he should.

[He's not sure if pizza will be a selling point or not. Depends if Andy's feeling puke-y.]
...Thanks, Caleb.

[Even with permission, Noah's not sure who he would ask for help. Most of the magically-knowledgeable people he knew are gone now. ...Oliver, maybe?]
no subject
Doctor Strange is probably like, the most powerful magic user here. And he's a good guy.

I mean, comic books from my world. There's a multiverse going on and I'm not that much of a nerd, but yeah.
no subject
... ... Oh.
[Sure, comic books are real, why not.]

Probably. God, I wouldn't want to say anything. It would be so awkward...
'Cause it's either like telling a famous person you know they're famous or, like, telling someone they're not really real.

Well, I hope he doesn't blow up the moon.

[Noah's old, okay. It didn't get popular until after he died and became a ghost.]

I didn't have that either. I had, uh... what's the other one?

[Not that he remembers much about his page or how it worked, but it was the cool new thing at the time.]
I think I'm older but also, like. Earlier.

[ That sounds unideal. Now he's wondering how clearly Noah remembers his life. ]
