Morty knows he shouldn't be screwing around with multidimensional shit. It's dangerous, it's impractical, it's blah blah blah. But it's a potential key to unlimited energy, how does nobody see that? He's built a dimensional siphon (it kind of looks like a cardboard box with a funnel and a TI-84 taped to it, but it damn well works), keyed in the dimensional coordinates to a random plane, and by God he's going to use it.
He flips the switch and waits for the energy bar to fill up.
It does! It fills up very rapidly. Then it explodes, along with the box. There's rather more smoke than there should be, and once the smoke clears someone is standing there.
"Oh my," Morty says faintly.
"Sounds it."
Ariel claps her hands together. "Anyway! Enough about the Wicked Bitch of the East, a tour was discussed and I don't feel like watching her probably win another fucking game of Capture the Flag anymore. Where d'you feel like going? Mystic Arts? Dorms? Visit the heap of junk the lab techs want to be a giant robot? The world's your oyster, man. I mean, the couple thousand acres of world surrounding this immediate area is your oyster."
"Well if it were a functional giant robot that would be worth looking at. If not," he shrugs, "I've no strong preference. Pick something fun. For whatever definition of 'fun' you like."
"Hm... Jeez, you live here for years, but the second somebody visits it's just pop! Nothing of interest at the superschool. There's a library? It's got, like... history books? You could learn about how mutants fucked up history?"
"Well, I mean, I don't actually know how history went in your world, but one of the big effects is that everybody's kind of fucked-up about mutants. There's prejudice, but there's also this weird kind of fetishization, but then you've got the fact that the market's saturated with mutant-made supertechnology and shit... Complicated feelings. So a lot of that shows up in, like, the Nineties; that's kind of the defining feature of the decade. That and costumes with a ton of pouches."
"I'm unusually well versed in the history of this approximate era for someone from the thirtieth century, but I couldn't give you an overview off the top of my head. Fucked-up history is one of my favourite kinds, though."
