NETWORK: MON-EL

Hello? Is anyone reading this?

Comments

[duelo]

People can see this, yeah.

[ Not that Derek will be much help, since he's still newish, but he can answer a simple question, in any case. ]

[monel]

Thank the Gods for that. I'm new here. Still trying to figure all of this stuff out.

[duelo]

[ Gods. Not God. Gods. ...interesting. ]

I'm kind of new, myself. I've been here maybe a week or two. My sister's been here a little while. I'll take this place over where I was. I don't know how helpful I'll be, but if you have questions, I can try to answer them?

[monel]

Oh yeah, I will definitely take this place over home. But hey, fellow new guy! I'm Mike.

What's the status on staying here awhile? Like forever?

[duelo]

Nice to meet you, Mike, I'm Derek and I'm starting to wonder if that might be a pattern of sorts in this place.

[ Seeing as how Buffy and Alcide both came from the Alpha Complex with him and his sister came from being torn in half by their crazy uncle. It makes him wonder what was so bad where this guy came from, but he won't ask; it's none of his business, anyway. ]

Uh, from what I can tell, it's a green light? I know my sister and I plan on sticking around, anyway. That bad back home, huh? Sorry to hear it.

[stefanged]

Yeah. You're not exactly shouting into a void.

[monel]

Which is good, because that never seemed all that productive to me.

[stefanged]

For all I know, that could've been your original goal.

Since it's not, what're you interested in knowing?

[monel]

Did we all get here through the weird door? How long can we stay? What is the alien situation here? And also where is the best food?

[stefanged]

1. I don't know. Based on my sample size of three, probably.
2. Still no idea. I don't think there's anything preventing us from knowing.
3. Which definition? Illegal immigrant or person visiting from another planet?
and 4. I'm biased, but I happen to make the best falafels this town's ever seen.

[zor_el]

Mon-El?

[monel]

Kara!

[zor_el]

Oh, I thought I'd never see you again! Are you okay?!

[monel]

Some time in lead-free atmosphere and a little sunshine and I'm doing much better.

Quick question. Where are we?

[zor_el]

Where are you?

[ Because she needs to see him right now. She needs to know for sure that this is real and she can't tell as clearly as she'd like over the internet. ]

I don't...actually know. I mean, I know that it's a city called Itinere. The few people I've met here seem really nice. But that's kind of all I know right now.

[ohhhaleno]

Newbie, I'm guessing? We can read it, hon, you're not talking into the void.

[monel]

Very newbie. Glad there are other people here to talk to. Hi, I'm Mike.

[ohhhaleno]

Hi Mike, I'm Laura. It's nice to meet you. There's a lot of us here, don't worry. You're in good company. You seem pretty amenable to being here, so that's a step in the right direction. I don't think everyone is as happy to be here as I am, most of the time.

[monel]

Yes. This place has my girlfriend and no fatal elements in the atmosphere, so I'm pretty happy to stay here forever. I am all for Team Staying Here.

[ohhhaleno]

Yeah, well that makes two of us for Team Staying Here, mi amigo. I'll take remaining physically in tact for 4000, Alex.

[veryimportantlittlegirl]

[ Behave, Bo. Don't do the psychic thing right out of the gate. It freaks people out. ]

Hi! I'm reading it :)

[ And he is very cute. Like...Barry Allen level cute, which is really, really cute. ]

[monel]

Hello there!

[veryimportantlittlegirl]

[ She can't help it, she's always been bad at pretending not to be who she really is. ]

I like your name. Not the fake one. I mean I don't not like that one, but I like the real one more. I won't tell anybody what it is though, if you'd rather go by the fake one. Nobody cares about people being different like that here though, just so you know.

I'm Bo. Welcome to Itinere. I'm glad you're here.

[ Because he wants to be a superhero, so he can help them. ...and also...cute. What? She's almost thirteen. Boys are interesting now. ]

[monel]

Thank you! I like my real name too. I wasn't sure about the whole secret identity thing here, though.

Hi Bo. Thanks for the welcome. How did you know my real name?

[veryimportantlittlegirl]

Some people like to keep theirs.

[ Like Peter, who keeps himself separate from Spider-Man if he can manage it ]

Other people don't care. I think it's kind of up to the person.

You're welcome! I just know stuff. It's a thing I can do. I can do all kinds of cool stuff. I started a superhero team. I'm the smallest, but I'm also probably the most powerful, I think. In my own way.

[ Sorry Matt. Sorry Peter. Sorry Laura; she's just going to go right ahead and throw you under the bus if it sounds impressive enough. ]
