[Hello everyone, have an unimpressed looking girl...in a bright yellow hazmat suit?]

Sooooo...Asianish fantasyworld, huh? Yeah, because that hasn't been done before. At least this seems to be a real place and not some offensive land of the stereotypical created for the amusement of the ignorant American masses. Because, seriously? Wow, whoever writes all that crap has to be some sort of nasty fetishist or something. No, sir, I will not be your precious yamato nadeshiko waifu nor am I a seductive kunoichi, so get lost.

[She lets out a disgusted sigh.]

Guess I was about due for this kind of thing to happen to me. Can't be a superhero without weird stuff like time travel and alternate universes and dying only to come back to life later...

Does anyone know who among us "foreigners" has been here the longest? Totally okay with all the room I've got to myself around here, but that's not enough to buy my approval when it comes to the idea of staying.

[Don't mind him he's staring

also he sort of looks like a scruffy unshaven hobo at the moment, don't mind him.]

-- Dude, what? Of all the people I know that could get dragged here I got the one voted Most Likely To Star In Tentacle Porn?

Seriously?

[But there's no amount of hiding or bullshit rhetoric that could hide how stupidly, stupidly relieved he is to see her. Seriously this is about five seconds away from being a Kodak moment.]

[Hmmm, she's a bit conflicted on how to feel about this, but she can't help but be glad for at least the familiarity that comes with seeing one of her teammates.

She gives him A Look™ before replying in a fake, sickeningly-sweet kind of tone.]

Well, I can't say you're the first person to come to mind when I think "who would I like to be trapped on a freaky dimensional bullshit island with?"

Seven months, sweetheart. That's the shelf life of the firstcomers, give or take a few hours.

[Tony's eyeing that suit with a bit of interest after that zombie scare on the network a week back.]

The question I'd be asking is what our expected half life is here.

[walkingwmd]

[Oh god, Tony Stark is here too, but the news he has for her is a bit too concerning to comment on that just yet.]

Seven months?! Are you kidding me? Ugh, screw that.

If you've got any other useful info, spill.

[ There's a hopeful look on his face when he sees this, or as hopeful as he can get. He was probably a little overeager, too, considering he still wasn't wary of his status with those on Earth.

Still, if only for a short time, this had been one of his students at the Academy. Then again, he was probably forgetting he was masked the entire time there. ]

I'm not sure who has been here the longest, having only been here a few weeks, myself.

[ Awkward as he was, though. ] It is nice to see a semi-familiar face.

( ooc; Jennifer may not remember Noh, but he made an appearance, teaching a class in AA #10 or #11. )

[walkingwmd]

[She doesn't recognize him immediately, now that he's out of the costume, but if she got his name she'd know who he was.]

Sorry if this is apparently a nice little reunion for you, but...who are you?

[alpha_squad_leader]

[Vic's just going to ignore that first part and offer a little wave.]

Trust me, this weird stuff will happen to you when you have powers regardless of whether or not you're trying to be a superhero.

And sorry, I don't know who's been here the longest. But we apparently don't have much of a choice in the matter when it comes to staying.

[walkingwmd]

Even being depowered doesn't seem like it's enough to free you. You're tainted with great power once and your life is never the same again.

And yeah, I kinda guessed. Otherwise me and my whiny friend would be out of here already.

[Video]

[superoverachiever]

The alternate universe stuff seems to happen whether you're a superhero or not. It's cool that you are, though.

Either way, we're pretty stuck here.

[Video]

[walkingwmd]

It's cool that I am...? Don't tell me you don't know who I am.

[She is liking this less and less...]

[relentlesstide]

[Well, that's an... interesting response. He's slightly reminded of Lorena, but at the same time, not really, because Lorena is more... polite. And respectful. Man to think there must be a superhero mentor out there worse than some of the ones he knows.] Seven months is the longest I've heard of. There doesn't seem to be any viable way off.

[video]

[walkingwmd]

[A long, overdramatic sigh.]

This totally sucks. Like, wow, this sucks a lot.

[wintershepherd]

[ He's been having mixed success with being seen by the superhero crew, but mostly positive so he gives it a try. ]

I think it's actually closer to China than Japan.

[walkingwmd]

Kudos, you get points for recognizing that. Plenty of white people just seem to hear "Asia" and blur it all together. I just used the examples I did because I'm Japanese.

[crotcharrow]

Do I even want to ask how much of that porn you've watched?

[Hi Jen, have a miniature Quicksilver.]

I mean, I'm guessing the hat isn't some sort of fetish thing either, but I've seen some weird shit man.

[walkingwmd]

Do I even want to ask how much of that porn you've watched?

[At least you have better hair than your uncle.]

Yeah, no. If I could get out of this thing I would in a heartbeat.

[wholenewstory]

[Cass just peers at the video for a moment, head cocked slightly. She's not entirely sure what half of that meant.]

Staying - isn't so bad. Some people...disappear, though. Might - go home. [She doesn't want to say for sure, not when they're no way to know.]

What's a - um. Kunoichi?

[walkingwmd]

I'd like to be one of the people that goes home.

[Sigh.]

Female ninja.

[video]

[zerotoawesome]

Oh hey! I know you!

And, yeah, this place isn't a hentai-fest at all. [Not saying whether that's a good or bad thing.]

[video]

[walkingwmd]

I unfortunately know you.

[Still thinking of ways to make you suffer!]

[wallcrawler]

Y'know, I gotta say, I admire this place's taste in superheroes these days. Way more fun when the spandex crowd's not super-serious all the time.

[Snarky heroes are the best heroes, okay? Gives him ones he can banter with.]

As for sticking around, unfortunately none of us really have a say in the matter. It's possible to go back home, but as far as I know, nobody's done it willingly yet. They've kinda just up and vanished.

[Video; Anonymous / Net Café]

[walkingwmd]

You're messed up in the head if you take running around in spandex super seriously.

[If she met Batman, oh god...]

What's the shortest amount of time anyone's spent here?

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He watches for a moment because that get-up? That's uh...yeah.]

Don't know who the first drowned rat was, but gonna echo other people with the seven months. [Linefacing so hard right now. He's bored now.]

This place is like a 'superhero' magnet.

[Video]

[walkingwmd]

Lucky us then, huh?

[Rolling her eyes.]

So far as I understand it, we belong to Madame Emperor's whims.

[Javert took care to listen and read up on previous responses before offering his own word. He is an abrupt and rather alarming sort of man to look at, with massive side-whiskers and a cold gimlet stare. However, he does not simply answer out of the goodness of his cold wooden heart. He has a question of his own--]

What the devil is a 'super-hero'? Some reckless fellow risking his own neck for the lives lesser men? Doling out mercy and personal favors at every turn? Is it a moneymaking business or a charity?

[...One man in particular certainly comes to mind when he considers the term 'super-hero,' and it brings a rather deep grimace to his lined face.]

[Video]

[walkingwmd]

[Just gonna give him A Look for a minute before answering because, oh boy, she can already tell this is going to be...interesting.]

It's a person that fights crime wearing a stupid outfit. Like this one. [Gesturing to her suit.] Except unlike everyone else I don't get to take mine off when I'm done kicking ass.

And yes, we generally it for free.
