[Jane appears to be sitting in the middle of the woods. It's raining, though not terribly hard, and she doesn't appear too bothered by it as she shelters under a tree with an irritated-looking bird fluffed up on her shoulder.]
I've been thinking about something... and indulge me, because sitting out here waiting for the rain to stop is terribly dull.
[She doesn't use the network too often and rarely for a casual query, but she is bored.]
There are a good many people here from other worlds, yet I often notice that most seem to be... hmm, heroes of some kind, I suppose? Or people who were already powerful in magical ways, or people of high political influence. Some are gods, even. [A little shrug follows this, and she hums thoughtfully.]
So I wondered, then, just how many are not. How many were pulled into this from perfectly ordinary lives where nothing magical or horribly dangerous really happened to them, and they were certainly never anticipating having to halt some multiverse-ending calamity.
[A fat raindrop hits the top of her head and she flinches, looking up and then shuffling further back against the tree.] I'm sure I'm not the only one who often wonders which capricious higher power thought they had the skill set for this.

u meet a lot of neat people in places like this
i met a lot of people who were heroes
but then some who were just kinda normal
and ppl from all sorts of places
idk i think as normal ppl we can do plenty
maybe theres something about being normal
that makes them think u can do things here??
i think the same for me too
my fiance too

Though I think that experience left me better prepared for when I arrived here instead of going home again...
I'm sure that there is value in being 'normal' as much as not! But it seems like a zoologist from London might be far less equipped to save the world than someone used to all this superhero business.

yah same too like
things here that might be weird to others from more normal places don't seem that weird to me
u get rly good at taking things in stride
maybe but u have to sometimes tell urself that ur perfectly able
to handle what u have u know
like ur just as equipped
no one has super powers here anyway!!
even ground
no subject
We need more people like you around, JJ.
