[ 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 :>

Your Name: princess powerful
Your Age: 12
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: 50 bajillion exsept when we get to kick evil butt
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: not enouph food and the people who live here are jerks and bullies
Notes: whats this part for?

Hi! I had a cape and a mask but Alex and Chase said it looked silly and nobody would take us seriously, so I don't wear them anymore.

Also, you shouldn't promise free sno cones if you can't give us free sno cones, that's just mean.

[ Blinking for a short second with an eyebrow raised ]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. So is that like, first name Princess, last name Powerful? Also, yeaaah, noticed the jerk part. Is there a reason for that or just kind of a cultural thing?

[ A short laugh and he smiles, friendly. She looks the 12 part, but a hero at that age? Well, it makes sense if you think about Damian Wayne. ] I'd agree on the cape, but I dunno, masks are pretty rad. Not that they really do much for concealing identity, but whatever.

I said sorry?

You probably haven't noticed because arriving here takes a lot out of you, but everything is sort of dying slowly on Tu Vishan, and most of us aren't eating very well.

Your Name: Vanessa Cleveland
Your Age: 17
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: It should be fine now.
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: Decay, rations, clones, increased hostilities, no way of returning home, no real answers
Notes: n/a

That's my superhero name, duh. I guess you can call me Molly, though, if you want.

And I think they're being jerks 'cause of the ration thing. 'Cause now everybody's got less food and stuff. But I dunno, I haven't been here that long, and they were like this when I got here.

[Funny story: Zatanna knows of Speedy...and she may or may not have heard a few stories about Red Arrow from the others...but she's never actually met this elusive Roy Harper. So it's less the person and more the pop quiz that catches her interest enough that she basically equates her initial reaction as: eh, why not?]

Your Name: Zatanna Your Age: 14 Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: It keeps looking better and better every day. Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: Nothing I'd be willing to type out where children could potentially see this. Notes: If you want to know what your hair looks like, just go look in a mirror. Also, keep your snow cone. I've got my own personal supplier.

Really? I thought that was more of a design choice. Like bare brick and logs in cabins? To give it character and charm? ...Starvation kind of negates the charming part, though.

[ a bit of an eyebrow quirk, and he takes note of the complains part, but mostly just catalogs it. ] What's the 'fine now' part mean?

It had a certain charm but things aren't... Good. He's sick, and everything is sort of falling apart because of that. [She frowns slightly.] I don't know if it's slipped into starvation yet, but it sucks.

[There's a nonchalant shrug here.] It was in a bad situation, and now it isn't.

[ welp, he has the most of his costume on minus his mask, and there should be red arrows and a red bow over a shoulder, so that might help? ]

Not to, I don't know, invite teenage wrath, but doesn't 14 still sort of count for 'child'? Or 'minor' at least? And you can never trust your own opinion on your hair.

What, seriously? Hook me up with your dealer.

Well you know what they say about assuming. It makes an a-- [ oh, shit, children and cursing gdi ] --aaaaa jerk. Out of you. [ So smooth. ] Hi, Molly, I'm Roy.

Because the turtle's starting to run out of farming space, right? How long have you been around?

[Oh, please. Those red arrows and red bow could belong to anybody.]

I'm going to pretend you didn't just ask that. Though, if you can't trust your own reflection, who can you trust? Give me the secret password, and we'll talk.

[There is no secret password. Good luck with that, Roy.]

[ That is true. ]

Sounds good to me. Not so much reflection as opinion. Why else would you ask someone else if 'this dress makes my butt look big'? Not that I'd know anything about that. Not being a crossdresser. And all. [ shut up, roy ]

Uuuuh, I'm guessing it's not 'Password'?

[ 8| rude ]

[so the thing about Kyle is he's stopped paying attention to the new arrivals. Other people have more patience for this. But what the hell, he's still cooped up in the clinic recovering from his fight with Guy, and just so happens across this post.

It's not the voice or the attitude that hits him as much as the red uniform, red hair, and the bow.

Aw hell.

He knows better than to be hopeful. At least where people he knows are concerned. Alternate universes, time travel, and then just the awkwardness of having to resolve that. Still. If it is Roy, he owes a friend a hand. Kyle sighs, and types:]

try a power ring and a damn cool uniform

[If it's not Hal and him, it'll be Hal, and that's a start, at least.]

Edited (PREPOSITION) 2013-04-21 23:51 (UTC)

Hey, YOU brought up the cross-dressing. Which means I'm not obligated to inquire further about this. One guess down. Try again.

[She could do this all day.]

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

[Attached: Your Name: Kara
Your Age: ??
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: Krypton
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: ???
Notes: ??? ]

That's hopeful. What does he have? [ Because if this is just a flu thing it's cool, man, we can just vaccinate him or whatever ]

[ Mmmkay so he's just going to take that as a 'not going into explicit detail' thing. ] Awesome, congrats. And, sorry, what was the part about clones?

[ eyyyyyyyeroll ] I know how it goes. Assuming makes an ass out of you and me, 'cause of how it's spelled. I'm not five.

Iunno, maybe? Tommy and Rikki says it's 'cause the turtle's sick. I've been here, um... [ she turns away from the console and yells at someone off camera ] Rikki, how long have I been here? [ A young woman's voice answers, too faint to really make out ] Thank you! [ At the camera again ] About three weeks.

There's a few heroes around. Are you looking for anyone specifically, or are you just trying to sniff out their clubhouse?

[pointedly not filling out anything. he's just too counterculture for your surveys]

I like how you handle things.

You didn't tell me there was a guess limit. I demand that not be included in the count as it was made under false pretenses. How many do I get?

[ B( he will get those snow cones ]

Edited 2013-04-22 00:08 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm pretty fond of my methods too. I didn't tell you because I hadn't decided on one yet. How about we keep going until I get bored?

[There's your challenge: keep her interest.]

Edited 2013-04-22 00:10 (UTC)

Your Name: Red Robin
Your Age: Guess.
Level of Suck of Your Homeworld: Not Disney Compliant.
Your Complaints About Our Magical Turtle Adventure: It's a Magical Turtle Adventure. Who's complaining?
Notes: Why, are tights your thing? Not judging.

[ Oh, that... pings something. 'Power rings' could mean a lot of things, but between an encrypted message and the context of 'mask, cape and tights', the obvious thought comes first: Green Lantern.

But there are a lot of colors of Lanterns and they're not all that cuddly. And there's also the part where he doesn't need to be babbling left and right about superheroes. So, here's Roy attempting caution. Attempting it badly. ]

I know people who'd call a ring pop and a snuggie 'a power ring and a damn cool uniform'.

But I also know space crusaders, so. What color ring are we talking? [ Roy is super good at this not being conspicuous in trying not to drop the Superhero bomb thing. ]

Edited 2013-04-22 00:12 (UTC)

best one of them all muchacho. green

[Caution. He gets that. This is a low encryption, after all, but he can't manage any better with his injuries right now.

Second little push. Only Kyle calls him that.]

Aside from the fact they're the size of Rhode Island with a colony living on top? Mh, nope, not really.

[ And WOW, Krypton, awesome. 'Kara' is ringing a bell, but he hasn't really had too much contact with the Superpeople. ] Krypton, huh? I'm guessing you're pretty tight with Superman, then?

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.

[ 8( who told yooou ] Uh huh, well, I guess they lowered the age on when kids got to have that particular lesson in school since I was 12.

[ And who the eff are Tommy and Rikki ] Are we just missing the giant bowl of chicken noodle soup for him? [ roy shut up ] That's not too bad for a time/space adventure. Who're Tommy and Rikki?
