[ So, Roy hasn't been around that long, but he's gotten to know Keeliai, the natives, heard about the Emperor and definitely picked up on the tension between foreigners and the Kedan, but just out right asking about What The Hell Is Wrong With This Place seems a little too obvious. And lame.

And this way is much more fun. ]


Okay so is there a part of living on the back of a giant magic turtle that isn't supposed to be completely awesome? Because a lot of you seem to be really bummed about it, and I'm starting to think it's more than just a strong case of Stick Up The Ass going around.

[ And frankly, Roy likes looking like the idiot. He raises up a hand holding some kind of Kedanian smoothie in the cafe he's seated in, and gives an 'okay, humor me' kind of gesture. ]

Let's pretend for two seconds that you're all actually the most boring people ever and the part where we're on a monster turtle isn't enough for you - you're getting what's practically a free vacation. A beautiful city on a tropical island that's really more like a cruise, and even a space you can go sit near Yurtle's massive head and zen your neurotic brains out. The closest we have to that at home is legalizing pot.

I know I'm inviting a sea of sarcastic quips to kill my buzz about the whole badass Suessical adventure, so let's try to be organized and civil about this - there's only so much scathing sardonicism I can handle at once. Please fill out the attached form and get back to me:
Your Name: Self explanatory.
Your Age: It'd probably explain some things, I'm jussayin.
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: On a scale of Fantasia to Bambi. Just trying to keep some perspective.
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: Let it all out, brothers and sisters. Testify.
Notes: Whatever. How's my hair?

Thank you for your participation! Here is a wavier for your free snow cone! Not really. Sorry.
[ Oh wait, just this last piece here: ] Also, if you know anyone who likes to run around in tights and a mask, maybe a cape, let me know? Thanks! [ A little salute, and he signs out. ]

[[ ooc; If you could, please fill out his permissions post ova hurr, and here's the html for his little questionnaire thing :>

Is there something special about giant turtles? I'd never seen one before I came here.

I had never seen a turtle before I came here. [ So this turtle is pretty much her idea of what a turtle looks like. ]

You were asking where I was from, weren't you? [ She can't actually read much English yet. ] The person you call Superman is my cousin.

[ She smiles, restraining a laugh. ] I've never heard of that either, but I think I've got the basic idea, thanks.

He was on Earth a great deal longer than I was, it seems. I'm still not really sure why.

If there is, I haven't seen it.

I don't really know what happened. [ She's told the story enough times that the curiosity is more idle than pressing now. She really is coming to terms with things, slowly but surely. ] The last thing I remember is babysitting my baby cousin back on Krypton. Then I woke up on Earth, and it was snowing. I was only there for two weeks.

[ She gives him a sort of apologetic look. It really is a crappy substitute. ]

It's really an amazing planet. But everything is so different than it was on Krypton.

And it didn't help that people kept attacking me for no reason.

Nothing like home. [ She hasn't heard that expression, but she likes the sound of it. She'll have to remember it for later. ]

I don't know. I don't speak the language, nobody could tell me why they were attacking me.

I do. You know, he was only a year old when I last saw him. Now he's... married. [ That was honestly the hardest part to swallow, once she accepted that he wasn't lying about being her cousin. ]

I landed in snow. It didn't look like there was anyone nearby.

That's what I said. [ She chuckles, then shakes her head. ]

I don't know. Isn't it always winter somewhere?

A... soap opera? [ Sounds... clean. ]

Um, I know that at some point I ran into a huge wall with people on it.
notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (but what does it mean?)

Yes, we had television. Why do they call it that? A Soap Opera? [ She imagines there isn't any soap involved. ]

I guess I would call it great. Are there a lot of giant walls on Earth?

[ That earns him a laugh. ] Of course. Why didn't I think of that?

[ She shakes her head in amusement. ] I guess that must have been it, then.

My pod didn't really land there, I just ended up there. [ Crashed through it actually. Fighting Superman. ]

[ No kidding. ]

Metropolis... that's where Superman lives, isn't it? No, I never got there, but I did spend a bit of time in New York City.
