audio \\ advertisement!!!
[ The folks at Majestic Marketing felt like they hit the jackpot. Lots of companies were interested in advertising to Supers, but outside of broad marketing strategies, no one who wasn't a Displaced Super had automatic access to their network communications. So when Miriam Maisel reported for her first day as a voice actor, they immediately recorded and asked her to blast out her first ad — they moved fast before the new Super could fully understand what was going on.
It helps that when Midge first stepped through that portal, she gained powers without gaining the full knowledge, that she has those powers.
The bet, of course, is that even if Midge figures it out and doesn't want to another targeted ad later, Majestic Marketing will have at least cashed in big for their first-ever ad just for Displaced Supers. And boy did they have a brand who was itching to get the Supers' ears. ]
We get it.
[ The voice you hear is clearly feminine with a touch of sass. And a little pep. ]
You're in a new place. A new Earth, and most of the time, with new powers.
[ The producer gives Miriam a thumbs up. You're doin' great hun. ]
For the first time ever, Chanel is launching its custom line, tailored pieces made just for Supers. Our new fabrics will adapt to a variety of changes, all unique to you.
[ Holding half of the over-ear headphones over her own ears, Midge reads the last few lines in a slightly lower, sexier voice. It's a little too clear that she's having too much fun with it. ]
See what we have to offer at Chanel.com. In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.
[ And cut. ]

The next words though, just make her silent for a moment as she shakes her head. Cell phone? iPhone? Good thing he actually starts saying something else, and when that question about the 1980s comes up, Midge let's out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding. ]
Oh boy.
[ Mmmmmha. ]
Ohhhhh boy.
[ Now the looks she's been getting are starting to make a teensy weensy bit of sense. ]
The 19-sixties kid. [ A beat, before Midge has clearly taken a brief interlude to talk to someone else: You, yeah you, the blonde. You could've said something you know. ] I know that they try to explain the fact that we're on some different plant in a different future, but honestly, most of what you just said to me doesn't make any sense.

[ If he sounds awestruck, that's because he very, very much is. That's practically unfathomable to him, that's a million damn years ago! ]
That's...[ He huffs a little laugh. ] Uh, that's probably because back home for me, it was 2018. No wonder nothing I said made any sense.
no subject
Two thousand eighteen?
That's.
Insane.
No, really.
[ She's been given enough orientation to know that the people here are also from the "future" but it's their present, and Midge expects to go home and not be an inventor, so she hasn't exactly paid a ton of attention. Someone else who's stuck here being from the future though? That's way more exciting. ]
What's life like in the future? Tell me the really mundane stuff — whatever seems really obvious and boring to you.
no subject
Yeah, that you're from like forty years before I was even born is blowing my fuckin' mind, too, right now.
[ He barks out a little laugh. ]
Lady, I wouldn't even know where to start! You gotta be more specific. Like what kind of mundane stuff? Like this bracelet thing, you know the projection it puts on your arm? That's basically just what our phones look like when I came from. I mean, not on our arms; on an actual device that looks like...uh, like kinda a tiny computer?
[ When did computers get invented, anyway? He has no idea. ]
What's the past like? Do you know any hippies? Are you a hippie?!
