[ Give a teenager a video function and a captive audience and it's only so long before they abuse the privilege. ]

You know, this kind of transdimensional grab bag usually sets off a few alarm bells. Integrity of the space time continuum, multiples of the same person in the same space affecting Reality As We Know It, blah blah blah. This is pretty low key. Like hi, welcome to your new home, here's a really ugly uniform, a job and a room assignment. Don't mind the teenagers necking in your room, that's just a thing.

[ Who's bitter, not her. ]

One thing I do like? Crew roster. Nice, simple way to check to see if there's anyone familiar; archenemies, familiar code names, family members from different dimensions who might not know who you are, ex-boyfriends who need to get their teeth punched in... [ She was making a point here. ]

Some of you need to work on your code names, though. Like I get being part of a legacy, but we have like five different Snakes. Five. [ More like three, but she's not gonna let a silly thing like facts stop her. ] That's way too many snakes for this ship. Venom I get, it sounds like someone who probably runs around Gotham and changes their alignment every day of the week, but whatever, I guess if Catwoman can, you can too. Live the dream. The other two need to flip a coin or something.

Or, wild idea, but go with me on this: pick another animal, be your own hero and/or villain, break free of the legacy cycle! You know who never looks stressed out? Heroes who aren't part of a legacy.

That's fine, we all needed some time for that. Suddenly be kidnapped does that to you.

Tell me about it. I just got used to Earth tech, I feel like I'm stuck on a perpetual learning curve.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

Huh, so... You're someone not from Earth that got there?

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Yeah, about a year and a half ago.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

Huh... One new planet, sort to speak, after the other, was it?

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Sort of. I got stuck in stasis for like 30 years in between.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

... Ah. [Wow... That's...] Interstellar travelling hasn't been very smooth for you then, huh?

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

I nearly got blown into the sun just before I got here, so I'm going to say that no and this has so far been my smoothest experience to date.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

... Damn.

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Yeah, I'm thinking about moving into a cave or something when I get back home.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

You'll just have to make sure it's a normal cave and not some weird portal to anything.

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Yeah, I didn't think of that.

Just to be clear: is that a thing we have to worry about here?

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

Well, I didn't do any cave exploring since I got here, but I did explore an abandoned building and ended up finding a dead body. Does that count?

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Compared to everything else, that almost sounds normal.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

Remind me to tell you about that time me and another crew member ran into terrorists twice in one night.

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Was this before or after you found the body.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

After. Body may or may not have been part of that terrorist group, too.

Video

[notyoursupergirl]

Does this place always stop at weird planets.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

I'm not sure I have much room to talk in terms of weird planets, but so far, yes, it does seem that way. The gamble is whether it's good weird or bad weird.

Re: Video

[notyoursupergirl]

As long as part of the weird is a club, I think I'll survive.

Video

[whynotgoonmyown]

Well, there's been clubs around in all planets I've been, so you should be in luck there.
