(Set sometime after the thread where K gets her Swan License. Ziggy has no idea she has it, and K's hasn't turned into DekaSwan yet.)
K was sitting on the plane for what seemed like days. She and Ziggy finally managed to get another break, and he happened to suggest going to New York, where surely no monster attacks were to take place. At least, that's what he told her. As much as she loved him, Ziggy did have a habit of being wrong about things on more than one occasion, which usually annoyed her more than anything. Of course, since a lot of monster attacks have been focused more on Japan (and that a single thread set in New York hasn't really happened yet), maybe Ziggy was actually right this time.

"Good thing I didn't go with plan B and suggest Canada." Ziggy mutters to himself as he reads a newspaper article talking about how immigrants from Canada fleeing some kind of divine war between Heaven and Hell were taking jobs away from Americans.

(Darnit! You ruined a joke I had for the end of the thread!)
K looked over and read the article. "A divine war between Heaven and Hell?" K asked, sounding incredulous.

((If I knew I'd have held off.))
"As a toddler you were kidnapped by a clandestine government organization to use the remains of alien tech recovered from the moon to create Ranger suits and sentient AIs, one of which nuked Nevada and forced us to live in a dome for five years. I'm a former cartel member who's best friend is 45% evil robot who now works for Japanese space police. Skepticism seems a bit silly now doesn't it?" Ziggy asks folding the paper and setting it on the table.

"You forgot to add the part where you were dating said girl who as a toddler was kidnapped by a clandestine government organization to use the remains of alien tech recovered from the moon to create Ranger suits and sentient AIs, one of which nuked Nevada and forced us to live in a dome for five years," K noted. "And I wasn't being skeptical. It was the fact that that's the least weird thing that's happened in the past few weeks."

"I was expecting you to complain about how unscientific it is to assume that the beings fighting there really are angels and demons." Ziggy says with a shrug.
"So um what did you want to do today?"

"Nothing fazes me anymore. Anyway, we should go to a few stores."
(Maybe make a list of stores to AVOID. Like the M&Ms store. Or the hershey's store.)

"I know. There's a store in Time's Square that sells nothing but M&Ms and M&Ms merchandise!" Ziggy says pointing to it on a map.

K's eyes widened. "Take me there. NOW!"

"Alright let's see Time's Square is here and we are..." Ziggy says as he lays out a map on the table and points to times square with one hand and scans the map with his other.
"Here." Ziggy proudly proclaims as he slams his finger down on the map showing them to be in the middle of Brooklyn well away from Manhattan's Time's Square.
"Huh that's going to be a long walk."

Ziggy squints over the map trying to find themselves on it. "This thing is like a Spiderweb made of snowflakes."
After a few more seconds of searching he points to a station. "26th St..."
He traces the line with his finger. "And it pretty much takes us right there."

"Shall we take that, then?" K asked Ziggy.

"Well I'm pretty sure we have no choice now." Ziggy says folding up both maps and heading towards the Subway.
The subway station is barely holding itself together made of concrete poured nearly a century ago and vandalized by every means of marking known to man. There is a distinct odour of misplaced bodily fluids and other wastes permeating the air. "I think I'll take the demons next time..."
