notdreaming: stare, neutral, sad (ways of saying I'm afraid)

video;

[ Kara spends some time familiarizing herself with her surroundings before trying to send a message. It's all very strange, very alien, but no more so than Earth is. Once she feels collected enough to do so she turns her attention to the console. It isn’t quite like anything she’s ever used before, but the technology is close enough to what she’s used to on Krypton that after a bit of fiddling around she manages to get the video feed on and recording. She takes a deep breath and addresses the network. ]

I’m told that people are brought here from all over the place. If that’s true, and you can all understand me… [ She doesn’t really get how that works, but she sincerely hopes that it does. Otherwise, she’s on her own. Again. ]

I need to know. How many of you know the planet Krypton? And what do you know about it?

[ She almost adds a ‘please’, because if nobody here has answers for her then she won’t know anything until she returns home. If she returns home. But instead she clenches her jaw and turns off the feed. ]

That's my current theory. You could be from the past, but I'm not so sure on that one.

[because of Reasons]

Well, this places seems to kind of grab people from all sorts of universes, some of them more similar than others, though Earth is a pretty common theme. And back home it wasn't entirely unheard of for people to travel between universes. [Jason did it, even if Steph doesn't know the exact details on that one]
controlledvariable: (PB >> you gotta turn around)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's hard to tell exactly what's changed between universes.

I've heard of Krypton, and the Kara I know has told me a little about it, but-- [a pause as she considers how to frame what she wants to say] I don't think she likes talking about it much.

[Especially after everything that happened with New Krypton, but she's definitely not going to mention that too soon]
controlledvariable: (civvies -- I'm just tired)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry I can't tell you more. [She hopes Clark will be able to help out, even if Kara seems a little hostile towards him]

If there's anything you wanna ask about this place, I can try to help with that.

[Kara is still her friend, even if it's not the right Kara]
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- I can relate)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
In some ways it is. A lot of the culture - the clothes, food, architecture, that sorta thing - is similar to China on my Earth. Or, well, more like China a century ago, since it's not really up to date in a lot of ways.

The technology is a bit all over the place, which can be frustrating, but I tihnk that's mostly due to a lack of resources.
controlledvariable: (civvies -- I'm only a little amused)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, a lot of the Earth folk here are Americans, and we wouldn't know culture if it bit us in the ass.

[Jokes! She's good at those (not really)]

Oh, and we don't have giant turtles on Earth.
controlledvariable: (civvies -- hey it could've been worse)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Turtles are pretty cool, and apparently they make a good foundation for a city. [Who woulda thought]

Do you have anything similar?
controlledvariable: (PB >> cause that's the deal with it)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I can imagine. At least you got some practice coping with strange animals before you showed up here? [Since. Earth animals.] I still do a doubletake at some of the Keeliai fauna.
controlledvariable: (PB >> don't wanna take it)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. [She sounds sympathetic; her Kara had a handle on the superhearing by the time Steph met her, but she can imagine it mustn't have been great.

The mention of it makes something else occur to her]
Apparently the dunk in the ocean tends to mess with people's powers, but they'll be back to normal within a few days. Just - thought I should let you know.

[she's a helper???]
controlledvariable: (Civvies -- I can relate)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Probably. But, hey, if you're having trouble with your hearing, I'm sure Superman will be happy to teach you how to control it.

[Batman probably could too, but she's not sure if she should be telling people that he's here]
controlledvariable: (PB >> to walk away from something)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-18 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She's pretty sure it's going to break Clark's heart to have a Kara that doesn't seem to trust him. She's trying not to let it bother her that one of her best friends doesn't even know her]

No problem. Good luck working it out, and with everything else here.

I'm Batgirl, by the way.

[She doesn't like using that name on the network, but it's only fair she give Kara something]
controlledvariable: (PB >> never let your guard down)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-19 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
You too, Supergirl. [Because it does feel like meeting an entirely new person, even if she looks the same as Kara] I can't - give you the number of my suite's console, secret identities and all that, but I'll keep an eye on the network and I can be reached through Superman, if you need me.

[Just in case Kara ever wants help with anything. Not that Steph thinks she can manage on her own, it's just... nice to offer, anyway]
controlledvariable: (Default)

[personal profile] controlledvariable 2012-11-23 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right, sorry. Force of habit. [She's going to have to... not do that.

There's a lot of things she's going to have to change about how she interacts with Kara. It's not fair to treat this one like her friend back home.]


I'm sure you can. [That could be a threat, but Steph knows it wasn't supposed to be]
