[Steven broadcasts a video from the inn room where he is. He looks like he's in good spirits and has several items laid out on the table.]

Hey everyone! It's me, Steven Quartz Universe. I got some neat things from ALISTAIR lately! I got my phone, my Cheeseburger Backpack... [He indicates a smartphone and... well, a Cheeseburger Backpack.]

Aaand we got a special surpise, too! {He takes out a container of food.] If you guessed that it's a sad meal, you're way wrong. Itttt's a happy meal! And I haven't done an unboxing video since I left home, so I think it's time I did one here for all of you here in Chantes! Okay, let's see what we got.

[He reaches into the bag and pulls out some french fries.]

First, we got some french fries. Nice, nice - they're a cornerstone of any happy meal! It just wouldn't be the same without them. [He nibbles on one.] And it's good! Well, it's kind of greasy, but in the tasty way! And it has just the right amount of salt. This is what you want in french fries, people!

[He reaches back in and pulls out a cheeseburger.]

A cheeseburger! Nice. This is like the main event of a happy meal. It's cheesy, it's a burger. Where could you go wrong? It was a nice touch it make it a cheeseburger, too, so it matches my backpack! To think it's been so long since I've had one... I don't think that it has long in this world! [He giggles as he sets it down.] That's the main event of the happy meal. Except there's something even main-er! Let's see if I got one...

[He reaches in and pulls out a toy wrapped up in plastic wrap.]

Yesss!! It comes with a toy! And even better, it's of Dogcopter! That's so great! [He hugs the toy close to him and then settles down.]

Well, that does it for my first unboxing video as part of ALISTAIR. This happy meal gets... a 4 out of 5 stars, I think! Thanks for watching, and... let's keep doing our best for this mission, alright? [He gives a cheesy smile and a thumbs up before he cuts out the video.]

It kind of does, yeah. But if you had access to all kinds of worlds, wouldn't you pull out lots of tasty meals?

I wouldn't pick tasty meals over picking something more practical.

[ Because he's Scott Summers. ]

I'm not sure I even remember McDonald's being that tasty from whenever I last had it.

[ Which would be...years ago? Years ago. Probably. ]

Um, that's kind of a good point... but then why not just pick both?

It wasn't? It's always been really neat! Maybe you're just from one of their off years.

I don't know. You'd have to ask them. I don't see why they couldn't.

[ Except that he does, but it's cynical, and he doesn't want to be cynical at Steven. ]

And that's totally possible. Everything was a lot...slower, where I was from. And smaller, I think.

[ It was the 60s? The universe seems to pretend it was the 60s even though that no longer makes any sense. ]

You know, maybe I will ask them! [Assuming he ever gets a chance.]

Really? Oh, you might be from the past! I guess that explains it.

[ Damn, Steven, good guess. ]

How do you figure that?

[ Scott's not actually told anyone here. Except maybe Olivia. ]

You said slower and smaller, so that sounds old school in my book!

Could just be I'm from Alaska.

Do people really live there? I thought it was just an urban legend! [It's hard to tell if he actually believes that or not...]

They live in Anchorage. I don't know that the rest isn't a myth.

[ He's actually not sure if Steven is serious or not, but he also thinks Steven is maybe at most 11, so it doesn't hurt to play along. ]

Is it more or less believable than the idea I'm from the past?

[ It's actually not a secret that he's from the past. He wasn't keeping it secret. There's no reason to keep it secret here. Except that he worries it might make him look crazy, outside of his universe where that thing is 100% accepted, and that wouldn't be helpful. ]

Hmmmm... I don't know! [Most of his doubt is really because he doesn't remember anything in the X-Men about him being from Alaska.]

But if that's what you say, I'll trust you on that! You're an honest guy.

Yeah, well, it actually happens that you're right too.

[ No point in keeping it secret. It's rather meaningless, isn't it? Who cares if he's from the 60s? ]
