tushanshu | For your kindness I'm in debt to you

[Clark has hardly used the network to make posts as Clark lately, not since he got the radio started... but it wasn't really that he was avoiding it, not really. Investigating about the murders, then the disappearances had simply taken most of his free time, and he hadn't had much to say.

When he turns on the feed he's playing around with what looks like a calligraphy brush between his fingers, tapping the shaft against a very basic notebook.]

The new arrivals made me think of something. [And judging by the notebook, he's trying to make sense of it by himself. Those who actually know him know how fast his brain actually is... but he's always had the Kryptonian technology to back him down, and now he finds it missing.]

We're assigned living space when we get here, right? And we don't really choose it, we're simply given directions to it when we arrive. And we know there are 5 districts, and different kind of suites on each. Some of them are obvious [Hi, Arthur, of course you live in Water] but others aren't. I live in Water, while my wife was given a suite in the Earth sector.

[She didn't spend a single day there but that's beyond the point. You might actually see her on the background, she likes doing that.] And I thought maybe there could be some kind of pattern, something in the way the Kedan organize us in each district and place. It might not be relevant at all but I'd like to give it a try.

So I guess, what I'm asking is: where do you live? Have you noticed something similar between you and your neighbors? I don't know- age? Gender? Abilities? Hobbies? [A shrug] I don't really know what could be relevant. Also, feel free to answer anonymously if you'd rather- or in my inbox, to keep it private? Whichever way you feel comfortable.

And with that done... something completely different. If I'm right, Thanksgiving should be just around the corner... [The sheepish grin of someone who's completely aware that he's indulging himself] So, what are your favorite Thanksgiving day recipes?

[Later: Supercrypted to JLA MEMBERS - From Jor-El's console]

Yes, we are doing something for thanksgiving, in case you were wondering. My question is: where? And how many of you will have to be dragged there?

I always thought they gave me a place in the Wood Sector because I was used to sleeping in trees. Well, on... trees. This is the first time I've lived IN the tree.

I guess that could be a reason... [He keeps on tapping the notebook as he speaks.]

I know some people with affinity for water like Miss Prentiss have been given places in the Water sector, so I wouldn't be surprised if personal preference played a role in it.

Though I don't know how they'd know that, but who knows.

Huh... not sure I really have a preference although, I guess I'm happy I'm not in the Fire Sector even if the flames aren't hot. Seems just wrong, somehow.

I'm sure the irony of an ice spirit living on the fire sector wouldn't escape anyone, but I do wonder how they manage to guess what district will be the best for us before we even get here.

But I'm afraid if I ask the emperor her answer will be 'magic'.

[ pensively: ] Sometimes that is the answer though.

[He makes a little face.] Magic and I don't usually get along, that's all.

Not everyone has the preference as a choice, that's all.

When I try ask her what kind of magic she uses her answers are always evasive. Maybe someone with more experience on the subject would have better luck?

[ Jack holds up his hands. ]

Don't look at me, I always end up saying the wrong thing to her. I don't think she likes me much.

Really? [Now that picks his interest. Jack had yelled at Superman, but that had been the only time he'd seen the kid lose his cool even when they disagreed over something. What did the Emperor see in him that she could dislike?]

Did you do anything to make her angry at you?

I always have the wrong thing to say to her. I remind her of things she can't do the way she wants.

But that is hardly your fault. You know that, right? Some people just have a way to ask the wrong questions.

[ He shrugs, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. ]

Yeah, well... maybe.
