K comes strolling in, making that infinitesimal blink he sometimes does when the Door catches even him off-guard. But if the Landlord thinks he needs a drink instead of finishing that report for Zed, K isn't about to disagree.

"Sure thing!"

Most of the songs, in both cases, will probably be extremely familiar, but with some... odd lyrical changes.

"Nothing wrong with some cross-cultural sharing, right?" K asks.

"Wonder what 'our' Elvis would think if he knew he had an analog in Mainframe?"

It's enough to boggle even K's mind.

"Dunno, dude. Some people just show up in a lot of different worlds. One guy I met said he thinks it's 'cause there's so many worlds that everything's gotta happen somewhere, but I dunno if it's that or if worlds, like, leak into each other."

"Well, there are definitely a lot of MiB bureaus out there in the Multiverse."

"Hell, we've conducted joint-operations with a few of them."

"But you probably heard plenty about that back when we were dealing with all the Black Oil mess."

"Yeah, I sort of remember."

Mostly he remembers sulking about not being allowed to participate.

"That was a rough one," K says, and his voice goes hard for just a moment before he lightens again and gives Enzo a slight smile. "But a long time ago now too."

"Yeah, well, remember. Next time something goes down..." Enzo gives him a mock-stern look.

"Better believe it, Tiger. If we run into something like that again, it's the old allies who get the call first."

"Crashing straight." He pauses to ponder. "Guess judo wouldn't be much use against that stuff, huh?"

"No, but I think we're good as far as Black Oil goes. I don't see it coming back."

"And judo works just fine on all kinds of other things."

"Mostly things with arms and legs, but I can totally adapt."

"Long as you don't mind the slime too."

It comes with the territory, after all.

Enzo grimaces, but says, "Yeah, I can deal with slime."

K chuckles.

If he's ready for that, he might just get the call someday.
