There is a little old man in the Nexus today, dark of skin and bright of clothing. He seems entirely unsurprised by being here. He also seems, when the light hits him just right, to have too many limbs to his shadow.
Mr. Nancy is in the house.

[Doc, waving a hand] It's being rebuilt, apparently, but given there's not much to it yet -- one central island so far -- he and his come to the Nexus periodically to get supplies and just have somewhere else to go.

[Marty scratches the back of his head] It's pretty complicated, but it seems to be working out for everybody involved. A lot of the residents who were -- not doing well mentally -- are finally getting the help they need, for starters.

[Marty nods] True -- you got the androids who go around to other realities helping out after fighting a war in their own world, you had the giant transforming robots for a bit, you had a vampire and a superhero hooking up. . .the Nexus is a trip.

[Doc nods] It's certainly served us well in the time we've been coming here.

I probably should get back, though. See how people are getting on without me. *He grins, a flash of white teeth in that dark face.* It's been a pleasure.

[Marty nods] Same here. Hopefully we'll see you around again sometime!
