i hope it will be that's cool! massages are one of those things i can't really do with powers but still cool and i'm not sure anyone here can give mick what he needs but we can definitely help
what does it mean? tattoos usually stand for stuff, right? yeah that makes sense. worth a try, though! after everything he's done for me, i can at least try to do better for him here than i do back home.
krypton was a polytheistic society. in our mythology, rao the father created other gods with their own domains. two of which were the nightwing, god of justice and the shadows, and the flamebird, goddess of destruction and rebirth. there were a number of kryptonian heroes who named themselves after them, but the last two were special
thara ak-var and chris. my sister in everything but blood and her lover. they were actually joined with the gods and could manifest their powers and personalities. they're gone, now. thara died saving the sun and chris is trapped forever in a place called the phantom zone
whoa. you know if you ever want to talk, i'd love to hear more about them-- and about krypton. sometimes it helps to just share good memories of people we love.
oh, i'm more lucky to have mick. and it's getting a little easier for him now, having len around.
you know, i might just take you up on that things get so crazy back home that it's hard to find time to talk about krypton and the things i've lost during my time on earth rao, now that i'm thinking of it, i don't think i can remember the last time i really talked about boomer or lyla either
if it's not pushing too much, can i ask how len died?
ok this is your official invitation to come and hang at the workshop and keep my focus by telling me all about your life!
no, it's ok. there was this secret device that the time masters used-- not to keep track of the time line but to control it: the oculus. we had to destroy it but in order to do so, someone had to be present. through the destruction.
[ there's a bit of a pause between texts as kara figures out how to reply. it's hard, without any tone to work off of, but she takes what she knows of ray, what she knows of her own experiences, and takes a wild guess, hoping she's not totally off the mark. ]
are there dominators in your world? i got kidnapped by some and they put me into this perfect dreamworld. between you and i, sometimes i worry that this dimension is something similar? only worse, in a way. because it's technically real.
there are but they've never done anything like that, that i've experienced or heard of and if this is your idea of a perfect dreamworld, you've got a really weird idea of perfection
i don't know, it'd take a lot of power to telepathically trap people from alternate universes in a dream unless you brought them all to a pocket dimension or the bleed first
i get it but also wow that's a terrible name tbh i'm hesitant to adhere to the laws of science we would work off of from home. i've encountered wonderland's interference with things that should work-- things that test just fine and still blow up in your face.
literal. i built a quantum manifold to spec from scratch and it didn't work exactly the way it should have. or i guess it DID work. too well. i went from stuck at 3 inches tall to 30 feet tall living on the roof like an overgrown quasimodo.
i got sent home and came back with no issues, like i was reset or something? i'm not sure-- i've been over the process a million times. it should've worked.
i'd put money on it just being wonderland messing with you it does that with me too the closets refuse to give me my usual get up and instead keep giving me variants
