[ if one looks at the location of this post, it's from Wood. Kyle's idea of being careful is essentially walking over to another Sector to use one of the cafes. ]

hello?

seriously there's better things to rip off than myspace

[ He's going to treat this as a chatroom until he has reason to do otherwise. ]

is this network the only way to contact people? what happened to telephones? or shining a signal in the sky? [ subtle. very subtle. He buffers it quickly: ] or even messenger pigeons?

[ now to see if anyone takes the hint. Before then, he decides to offer a helpful tidbit: ]

by the way this isn’t a dream or a collective hallucination

Are there any Lantern Corps that don't use rings?

[imaginate]

[Kyle gives Tim a curious look. They didn't always need rings - he'd been Ion for a reasonable length of time (twice) and it seemed weird that the Bats didn't know this.

But it was definitely possible, given what he'd heard about the seven Corps, so far, he hadn't met all of them.] Dunno.

[mrsarcastic003]

[He shrugged again. He had a feeling he was missing something, but he wasn't quite sure what.] Me either--I'm not exactly an expert. [Wry grin.] But all the ones I saw had rings.

[imaginate]

[More to himself than to Tim:] I wonder what they were powered by.

[mrsarcastic003]

They were all... reanimated dead people, and they got more 'recruits' by killing people, so I'm going to go with probably not life.

[imaginate]

[Kyle is quiet for a long time, thinking.] Did they have power batteries?

[mrsarcastic003]

Not that I saw.

[imaginate]

[Exhales.] Guess I'll just have to face that when it comes.

[It seems unlikely that Blackest Night was the cause of whatever Jason was worried about, but then again, Kyle doesn't know all the details.

Bruce "dying", on the other hand, hmm.]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Have a bit of a wry grin.] Yeah, pretty much. I mean--what else can you do, right?

[imaginate]

Wouldn't hurt to have a few details so it could go a little better. [Because there was always a cost.

But he shrugs lightly, and pulls up a chair so he can watch Tim work.]

[mrsarcastic003]

From what I hear, we don't get to remember any of this when we wake up, so I'm not sure how much good me telling you anything will do, but... [He shrugs, too. He'd been happy to answer the questions he could. He glances over at him when he sits down.] I think I have things mostly set up.

[imaginate]

Thanks. [He looks thoughtfully at the console.] That's just it. I'm pretty sure this isn't a dream. My ring's a lot more powerful than normal on a dream plane. [Since it's powered by imagination and all...]

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim hummed thoughtfully. That made sense, considering.] So what do you think it is?

[imaginate]

Pocket dimension. [Immediate and confident.]

[mrsarcastic003]

[That was a fast answer.] You've been giving it a lot of thought.

[imaginate]

It's the best one I've got so far. [Nothing else fits how his ring's been acting.] Have you guys tried leaving?

[mrsarcastic003]

I haven't yet. I've been told it's not exactly a pleasant experience.

[imaginate]

Apparently you get knocked out if you go too far.

[mrsarcastic003]

I'd heard that. I guess you haven't tried it yet either?

[imaginate]

No, I don't want to end up unconscious in mid-air.

[mrsarcastic003]

[snort] I guess I can't really blame you there.

[imaginate]

Anyway - you guys are the brains of the outfit. [Half-jokingly. Kyle's not that dim but he knows to hand over the reins to the Bats when it's needed.] You'll have a better plan.

[mrsarcastic003]

[Tim grinned a little at him.] Than flying headlong into a seemingly impassable barrier? I'm sure we can come up with better than that.

[imaginate]

Hey, don't diss the direct approach. Sometimes it works. Just... not in this case.

[mrsarcastic003]

[laugh] No, you're right. Sometimes it does. But sometimes it's better to go around things.
