[As always, Superman's post comes from an anonymous location, somewhere in the Fire sector. He's been changing the place he broadcasts from in every post, in case someone tried to track it.]

Well, it's become obvious the turtle has decided to take a bath. It seems to be safe for now but we don't know when it will stop. The way things look it isn't going to be anytime soon. The Kedan seem to be pretty sure it will be alright so it's probably not the first time this has happened.

Those of us who can breathe underwater or spend a long time under it should share experiences to see how far we can get, but I wouldn't suggest trying to break this barrier.


Another thing to keep in mind is the lack of sunlight. [AND NOT AT ALL BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO SLOWLY LOSE HIS POWERS WITHOUT IT why would you think that geez.] Is there anyone with the kind of power that would allow them to duplicate it? Or to create a substitute? I can offer my heat vision to make fires anywhere it's needed, but it's a poor substitute.

Anyway, just... be careful, everyone.

Well. At least you are finally seeing sense about barriers here.

[Damian is definitely cranky, and also not looking into the screen/the video pick-up, just talking in their general direction. What he isn't? Is nervous. But the whole exercise doesn't impress him... as such.]

You're not going to let me live that down, are you?

[Kal honestly doesn't mind. If little reprimands like that are the closest he'll get to Damian showing he cares, he'll take it.]

I just don't want to risk anyone going unconscious while we're under so much pressure.

What happens if the barrier breaks?

[Kal makes a mental note to keep an ear out for him. The kid seemed nervous enough without all this added stress.]

It won't. The Kedan wouldn't be so calm about it if there was any risk. And if it does break, we'll find ways to fix it.

There's really powerful beings living in here.

I have something for you.

[no preamble. no greeting. just 'hi, my name's batman, I'm a douchebag and also I did a science thing on your behalf.' Implicit is the implication that Clark should, you know, stop by.]

You shouldn't have, I've got nothing for you. [Humor, it is a thing.]

Are you going to be okay?

He'll be fine.

You heard him. He's got a plan, I'll be fine.

What about you?

[littlecousin]

It's totally grody out there. Dead bodies and stuff.

[Nita makes a face. Like, ew. Then she holds up a piece of pottery decorated with a drippy glaze.]

I found a bowl.

[andaway]

[Extra brownie points go to Nita for making him laugh a bit.] Well, I did say we should share experiences.

How far did you get?

[notdreaming]

Not very far. [ She totally tried to escape while the turtle was diving. ]

[andaway]

Don't push yourself, okay? Save energy. We might need it.

Are you alright?

[magicalpadawan]

I could maybe make it look like it's sunny, but it wouldn't do a lot more than that.

[andaway]

[Well, it's probably not enough to recharge his cells but...]

Well, that could be really useful. At least it'd let us see more clearly than any fire will.

You really don't want to go out there.

It's not pretty.

I don't want to, but I have to. The more information we get of the outside, the more chances we'll get of recognizing where we are. There's a few water dwellers in here, maybe they would recognize he landmarks.

However you, miss are far too young for this kind of reconnaissance.

I asked the Emperor if the turtle ever dove underwater. She just said they had ways of dealing with it and that there would be sufficient warning.

Not there seems to have been much warning, except the earthquakes.

video

[andaway]

We're lucky enough the buildings were ready for them as it is, I don't think waking up to your house moving counts as a 'warning'.

That's all she told you?

[Kyle is broadcasting from his room, using an encryption Tim set up for him. His voice betrays his discomfort.] Nothing out there but debris - and a lot of bodies.

[andaway]

What kind of bodies? Human bodies, Kedan ones? [The news of people finding the human bodies on the temple is still fresh.]

[crotcharrow]

Why the hellwouldanyonewanttobreakthebarrier?!

[Someone is dealing with this well.]

[andaway]

[A sigh that's both exasperated (he's too exhausted to deal with a teen speedster right now sorry Speed) and a little relieved because he dealt with Tommy getting hurt by going out to 'explore' once, nice to know he won't do it again.]

People just want to go home. Those who can survive underwater... well, it'd be a chance to try. Luckily it seems no one has tried yet.

[dragonswag]

Light spells are about as basic as it gets for me. I could probably enchant objects to hold light for a few days.

[andaway]

Really? That could be extremely useful. [And this coming from Mr not-a-fan-of-magic himself.] What do you need to do that kind of spell?

[The moment they're both home from work:]

How long before the lack of sunlight becomes a serious problem for you?

[Because 'hi, how are you' is for days when she isn't concerned he'll be more prone to injury-by-recklessly-overprotective-compulsion than usual.]

[andaway]

[He hasn't even tried to break the barrier yet, that's A+ in not-reckless behavior right there.]

Well... Bruce gave me this. [He shows her the little cube his friend gave him earlier.] It's supposed to be able to recharge me partially. As long as I don't push myself I should be okay. We all should.

[Because he's going to share it with his fellow Kryptonians, of course.]

Right now I'm more worried about what will happen if the barrier breaks at any point, but at least we have the Green Lantern. He's created a similar barrier before, maybe it could stand until we can get them all out.
