awesome! i want to build a watch that'll help me turn off my powers i kind of already know how one works--my cousin chris had one but i haven't ever made one myself and i don't know what the closets will give me materials-wise so i thought you might be able to help!
oh, cool. OH from jane? are you going to jane? i hope you're going to jane, she's awesome. i'm building her some training bots right now, actually! btw come on over any time. it's usually kind of crowded on wednesdays, though.
i'm thinking wings ones that start looking like they're made of stars and end looking like they're made of fire i don't think i've met sarah yet but i bet mick has a lot of fun with that
that sounds really beautiful, kara. well, if alien muscles get sore you should go hunt her down. she's a physical therapist but she's been passing her days here as a masseuse! i don't think it's exactly what he needs, but i think it helps, yeah.
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

btw come on over any time. it's usually kind of crowded on wednesdays, though.

i thought it'd be nice to add something to the one i've already got on my back
what happens on wednesdays?
no subject
it's welding wednesdays! mick's really good at it, and sarah's been learning too.
no subject

i was supposed to be the one who died
mick knocked me out and took my place
[ thank god this is text bc ... yeah ]
no subject
survivor's guilt is a bitch, isn't it?
no subject
better when they choose it, at least
marginally
no subject
if you ever want to talk about it...
i get it
no subject
this is very selfish but i'm really glad you're here. i'm glad we met.
no subject
i've been stuck a lot of weird places, but this is one of the better ones, weirdly enough
no subject
between you and i, sometimes i worry that this dimension is something similar? only worse, in a way. because it's technically real.
no subject
and if this is your idea of a perfect dreamworld, you've got a really weird idea of perfection
no subject
but in all seriousness, i also meant mechanically-speaking.
