All this shit is pretty above my pay grade, so it's not like I'm speaking from experience here or anything, but it seems like we got a crazy ass mix of folks around here.  I don't think I've ever seen so many aliens in m life and I come from a world where those guys are all over the freakin' place.

Though I gotta say, it's freakin' weird to be around a bunch of people who've never heard of Kryptonians before. [Just.  Throwing that word out there.  Vaguely hopeful.]

Anyway.  It's late, I'm bored.  We've got a shit load of aliens and sword and sorcery types up in here.  Tell me somethin' good about your world.  Or tell me something shitty, we can swap horror stories.

[It's late at night, which means it's time for punks in masks asking bullshit questions on the network to keep themselves from broody navel gazing.  Not sleeping is kind of a thing for him, but this not brutalizing strangers who really deserve it thing is kinda new and borderline unpleasant.  Feel free to spot a brightly colored spot skulking around rooftops.]

Sounds like a regular super hero. Have you noticed all that many similarities with what people who from their own times to what you know to be true of your world, from when you were last in it?

[livinuptothename]

Yeah, I guess you could say that... I mean, people are kinda the same all over, right?

[feyted]

( Certainly that's true enough in one sense... )

People do have a tendency to be people, no matter where they're from.

[livinuptothename]

Even when they're not really people, yeah.

( Okay, kid, you've got her there. )

If we start worrying too hard on semantics, we'll probably never find a general enough base to operate off of. I never figured I'd have to rethink calling something a humanitarian effort before. Not to mention, what's inhumane behavior?

( Joking on some level -- the values stay the same, even as they shift to fit new definitions. )

Considering the amount of aliens we've got around here, we might as well ditch the whole idea of humanity full stop. Course, that's assuming all those other civilizations have the same "Don't be an asshole" rules.

[feyted]

( She could object to the language, but... it's a decent rule to have. )

Sounds like something worth investigating when we're all stuck here with each other for an indeterminable amount of time.

Sounds like more fun than training and waitin' around for the next mission all day.
