[ this. is. so. not. okay. "caught between life, death, and dreaming". right. okay.

bullshit.

it's taken her a while before she decided to actually sit down and use the computer in her suite, because it feels so- dumb. she never used social media at home, and she's glad for it, because none of it mattered once the virus took over. more to the point, where are all the zombies in this place? crowds of people ( or whatever those mutated human-ish people were ) and none of them were carrying guns or looking to make a meal out of her. which, for some reason, makes her feel more nervous than when she and Little Rock had to search the supermarket for food. it made no sense. none of this makes sense.

so when she turns on her broadcast, she looks a little peeved, dark bangs covering dark eyes, her mouth pressed into a line.

truth is, she's panicking. but like hell is she going to let anybody know that. she has a million questions about this place, but first things first: ]

I'm looking for my sister. If I'm here, she's here. It's how things work. [ at least, it better be. she's going to be livid if she finds out she's been split up from her sister, even if Zombieland is on pause while she's here. ] She'll be going by the name 'Little Rock', or maybe 'Hannah Montana'. Also, there's a good chance she picked your wallet off of you while feeding you some sob story about being lost and scared. If you help me find her, I'll make sure she gives it back.

Thanks.

Almost everything. The palace has something built into it that blocks abilities, including x-ray vision and super hearing. But I doubt she's there.

[cons]

Right..

[ whaaat theeee- ]

So is this the part where I make a joke about you being a really great listener, or can I ask you what exactly 'super hearing' means? ...Not like, literally, I mean- how's that possible? Something you picked up here?

[notdreaming]

It's something that happens to Kryptonians when we're under a yellow sun. If you turned off the console right now and said my name, I could come find you in an instant.

[cons]

[ sssss- quint... ]

Kryptonians. People from Krypton.

You're from.. Krypton.

[notdreaming]

Yes! You've heard of it? [ Most people haven't, unless they're friends with Superman or from Krypton themselves. ]

[cons]

Only in passing. [ wow she sounds so genuinely surprised, and Wichita has.. no idea how to approach this ] Are there a lot of people here who haven't?

[notdreaming]

Almost everyone. If you're not from Krypton, does that mean you're from Earth?

[cons]

Yep! Regular old boring Earth.

[notdreaming]

From what I've seen of Earth, it's far from boring.

[cons]

Eh, I just mean we don't get cool super powers, being from there. We just have guns and 5-Hour Energy shots. Not really the same.

[notdreaming]

I didn't have any powers on Krypton. [ So, comparatively, pretty interesting. ]

Wait, you can be injected with energy? [ THAT SOUNDS AWESOME ]

[cons]

No, no. -- Well, okay. Technically yeah, I mean, there's adrenaline shots. But I meant shot in the 'quick drink' sense. Ever take shots of alcohol before?

[notdreaming]

No, never. [ They have alcohol on Krypton, but they definitely don't call it shots. She was picturing something you could take any time, not adrenaline that could be dangerous if applied incorrectly. ]

So you drink it? Like coffee?
