Question: Of course it’s good for [Peace Talks'] storyline for it to be in [Harry's] town, but on the other hand you’re going, “Hmmm, why would [the Fomor] pick Chicago? I wonder…”
Chicago is one of the great crossroads of the world.
[It's a major hub] for all kinds of travel, for shipping, for railroads and air; so it is the place in the middle of this continent. But anyway, so they’re having the meeting there; I’m sure everything will be fine.
[The Fomor] are not just the Fomorians of legend; but the Fomorians got driven back into the sea long ago, so they’ve been collecting the refuse from all the other pantheons of bad guys who’ve managed to survive whatever conflicts were going on at that point. So they’ve been causing a lot of trouble, and they’re getting everyone together for peace talks. They want to establish themselves and they’ve requested a summit.
(...)
They’ve been universally hostile and suddenly they show up and say, “Let’s sit down and talk.”
And everybody’s like, “…Okay. We’ll do that.”
So of course Harry’s going to be involved in it. Generally speaking, it’s going to be a meeting under the Accords. All these different powers, all these supernatural influences are coming to Chicago. Harry gets to see that coming and say, “Man, I feel bad for whatever city that’s going to happen in. Because nothing could go wrong with that!”
“Yeah, it’s going to be here.”
"…What?”
