    "Where are we?"
        
        "Manhattan, New York City, 1899."
        
        "Okay, Stage, that's creepy. Don't do that."
        
        "Sorry, Romeo did the dramatic entrance thing and I wanted to try it." 
        
        "Who's this?"
        
        "Hi! I'm Stage!"
        
        "Flames."
        
        "So, you merged, too?"
        
        "You have got to stop starting with "You merged, too?"!"

        This will be a Newsies AU where we all (in our respective areas, Modern AU, Covid time) find an item based on our selected Newsie (who we know nothing about) and we're transported back in time based on that Newsie.
        
        We find help from someone and figure out that we're supposed to play that Newsie's role in the strike and figure out what we have to do to get back.
