Hey, listen, I know you're all really busy with your Geraldo versus Donahue thing, and that Southern lady's doing her best to be Sally Jesse without the shoulder pads? But I'm gettin' real tired of the daytime talk show, and there's nothing else on here except maybe knockoff Cheers. And your robot Sam doesn't even have a Diane, so it's pretty awful.

I touched that glowy thing in the middle of town and it put some weeeeeeird-ass junk in my head, which, hey, not the first time I touched a magic rock and it did stuff? But I'd love a little more to go on than that.

When you're not busy.

[Ezra's told enough tall tales, run enough cons and been around enough big personalities that he's taking everything said at face value for the moment, but is completely prepared for every word of it to be bullshit.]

So, you're from Earth, but your dad is some other species from somewhere else?

Yeah. He's something they called a Celestial: what a lot of people would consider a god, since he's lived for so long and he's got these crazy psychokinetic powers. But it turned out what he really wanted to use 'em for was to make everyone exactly like him. Total jerk. I was the only one of his kids who actually inherited any of his abilities, so he got it in his head I might actually help him.

He definitely thought wrong. ...It was a rough week.

A Celestial is a new one on me, but that doesn't surprise me, because if Earth exists in my universe, I'm pretty sure it's in another galaxy.

Sorry your reunion was so crappy. That sucks.
