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.]

If you like that sort of thing.

[livinuptothename]

You mean fun? Yeah, I like having that sometimes.

[gamora]

Dancing.

[livinuptothename]

Right, that.

[gamora]

So it's not your thing.

[livinuptothename]

I always feel like a dumbass when I try, but that's kinda the point, right?

[gamora]

Wouldn't know.

[ no time to learn how to dance when you're too busy being trained to kill things!! ]

[livinuptothename]

Ya got time to give it a try now.

[gamora]

Not a chance.

[livinuptothename]

And why not?

[gamora]

I don't know how. If I couldn't kill people with it, it wasn't important.

[ well that's certainly well-adjusted ]

No intention of learning how, either.

[livinuptothename]

What kinda crazy logic is that? There's lots of important shit that doesn't involve killing people and you still know how to do it.

[gamora]

Thanos wasn't considered sane by anyone's standard.

[ a shrug. ]

Dancing isn't important.

[livinuptothename]

Fuck that guy, he sounds like a jerk.

I know a scrappy city kid who brought rock and roll to a small town who'd really disagree with you, Gamora.

[Don't make him find a copy of Footloose, he will totally do it.]

[gamora]

He spent most of his life devising ways to destroy the universe.

[ so yeah, kind of a jerk ... there is a reference that Gamora feels like she's missing. ]

What are you talking about?

[livinuptothename]

A first class jerk then.

Oh, uh. A movie. Came out a few years ago. Okay, a few years ago my time. My brother and a couple of his friends made me watch it.

[Man, talking about a stupid movie shouldn't make him miss Dick and the Titans this much.]

[gamora]

About dancing. Must have been dull.

[ not that gamora's seen enough movies to judge. ]

Didn't know you had a brother.

[livinuptothename]

It had it's moments.

[ He smiles, but it feels weird on his face, so he lets it drop instead, ducking his head a little.]

Yeah, kinda. He's the son of the guy who adopted me.

[gamora]

If you like 'fun'?

[ He might not be smiling, but there's certainly a smirk on Gamora's face for a moment or two. ]

He your boss? The guy who adopted you.
