( John softly nods, his eyes sweep the room, and he leans back for a small exhale. Itβs not long till the tender comes around with their requested plates and a refill. John will take the boyβs lead, either Paul does the talking or he will - and heβs glad to know thereβs something workable available to them.
Sharing stories of his world is relatively harmless, Paul sharing his own stories would be what likely draws unfriendly attention. John will first introduce the boy to music. He talks about the bands from the 70s, the 80s, and he even talks about his own beloved Mucous Membrane, they had a strong few years (as in they were able to book gigs), but that was it. They never hit it off, got big, or went anywhere, they put all their charm and luck into their single βVenus of the Hardsellβ had a video out on the tube and everything, but noβ¦ it didnβt do well. John skips the details of why the band broke up, in fact, he doesnβt really delve that much into his band but instead talks about some other artists that he was fond of.
Of course, he couldnβt help but mention the Swamp Thing - there was a pile of green mush on his plate that he just assumes originated from plant life. He kept it sweet and simple: ) Got a big olβ green guy, calls himself Swamp Thing, back home, weβre mostly on, but we got a few odds between us. Ever seen a walking, talking vegetable? Sortβa like that. A humanoid figure covered in moss, flowering buds, and the like.
Not everyone knows about him, though, not everyone knows about the magic. So happens that power on Earth comes down to money, to wealth. I imagine itβs not much different on any world.
