[conner_el]

[Action - Genessia City]:

[Conner blinks, eyes moving from the pamphlet ... to the announcement, and back again as the girl in white -- Weiss explains the situation. All the details from both sources line up, and Kon just sighs, dragging a hand down his face.]

Great.

[Yoinked into another dimension, no clear way of getting home, no real explanation of how he ended up here ... just the certainty that he was probably gonna be here a while.

[Looks like it's one of those days.]

[Video]

[Video feed snaps open to reveal a young man. He's good-looking in that all-American, captain-of-the-football-team kinda way - square jaw, broad shoulders that imply a muscular frame, eyes verging on too blue. He'll be unfamiliar to anyone who happens to look in, but he doesn't look as ... harried, as you might expect a new arrival to look, considering the situation he's suddenly found himself in.]

Hey, Genessia.

[Lil wave for the camera.]

Sooo ... you can probably guess I'm kinda new around here. I'm Superboy--

[Wait. Alternate dimension. Comic books have existed in the other universes he's visited so that might not sound too weird, but it probably sounds conceited as all hell to introduce yourself that way if people aren't used to capes.]

Kon. Kon works too. [Whoops.] Sorry, I kinda do the whole superhero thing back home, so starting with the codename is just reflex at this point.

[He pauses for a second, sucking in air through his teeth before:]

Gonna be honest here, I have no idea what else to say. Like, none.

[Because despite the fact that hopping across the multiverse is something he's done, this particular shindig is uncharted territory.]

I figure anyone from home who's here is probably gonna see this, but on the off-chance they don't, if any of you guys know anyone from Young Justice, the Teen Titans, the JLA ... send 'em my way if you don't mind. That'd be awesome.

Any y'know, any word on figuring out how to get home'd be pretty sweet.

Comments

[k2so]

[The video feed opens to a tall droid looking at the screen with interest. He likes to talk to newbies, both to help and because their reactions are often interesting if not plain amusing.]

Superboy Kon. That's an interesting name...then again, who I am to judge. My name is K2So, Kaytoo for short.

Are those superhero Team names?

[Video]

[conner_el]

Just Kon. [A beat.] Or just Superboy, whichever.

[Though there's this little air of what sounds like sarcasm that leaves him wondering if Robbie the Robot here is messing with him.]

And yeah. One of them's not really around anymore, but ...

[He shrugs. Still friends with the people who were in it.]

[Video]

[k2so]

Kon it is then. You look too old to be called Boy, no offense.

[Kay loves sarcasm, kid, he lives off of it.]

i don't think any of them are here but we have a Spiderman. Does the name ring a bell?

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

[For someone that just got out of jail by breaking out, showing her ass on the network is probably the worst idea.

Not that it stops her.]

Yoooou don't~ Some people leave but come back, some just up and poof, some of us are just stuck here for months or years on end~ So good luck with that, darling.

[Video]

[conner_el]

So just kinda sit around, make do, and hope the cosmic lotto comes up in my favor.Great.

[Kon drags out the word with a sarcastic roll of his eyes. No way he's sticking around for years. Someone's gotta know something. His attention returns to the screen and the ... elf, he's guessing, on it.]

Thanks, though.

[Not particularly upbeat, but it's genuine.]

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

Pretty much! For some of us it's kind of better to be here than it is to be back home, but that's a select few people. [She's not fond of being dead for real if she goes home, so this place is certainly better in her experience at least.]

You're welcome~ And, if I may make a suggestion, given the whole superhero thing?

[themusketeer]

[Athos squints his eyes as he takes a good look at this bloke. While everyone in this odd world hail from very strange and unusual worlds, this lad looks almost too ordinary for his liking. Besides the poor clothing, this young man looks like he could've came from anywhere.

However, there's something off about the youth that strikes the musketeer as odd. For one thing, the accent seems different than that of an standard Englishman but he's speaking perfect English. Maybe Athos is being rather critical but this youth doesn't seem English.

Hell, he doesn't even seem European.]

A superhero...?

[Athos arches his brow somewhat.]

[conner_el]

[Oh, Conner, definitely doesn't sound European. His accent ... it's weird. Bit of Metropolis city boy, a little dash of Hawaiian surfer, a big ol' helping of mid-western drawl ... a little bit of everywhere he's lived thrown into a blender, and the result is hard to place even for someone from the same time period.

[Or, y'know, the same universe.]

Yeah. Superhero. [Said as if it's pretty self-evident.] Stop alien invasions, punch giant robots, bit of time travel here and there ...

[Y'know. Superhero stuff.]

[themusketeer]

[That's why poor Athos here is staring at this boy with such mild distaste. He can't pinpoint this young man's origins to save his life. The musketeer doesn't know what to make of this boy and his odd aliases.]

Aliens? [What in the damnation is an "alien"? Does he mean the Spanish? Surely not.] I beg your pardon?

[He's even more baffled than before.]

...I regret to inform you that I see nothing particularly "superb" or "different" about you. Therefore, what defines a superhero besides punching Spaniards?

Are you a soldier?

[Video]

[i_am_here]

You do the superhero thing too huh? I'm a teacher of superheroes.

[Which, from first glance, seems unlikely because he's so small of a man and sickly looking too.]

[Video]

[conner_el]

[Kon's first real teacher was a robot, he's not gonna judge.]

No shit?

[No skepticism in his voice, but a healthy dose of curiosity.]

Re: [Video]

[i_am_here]

That's right. My homeland is a superhuman society. So there's a lot of demand for schools that teach proper power use.

[Another superhero was always welcome to talk with Toshinori anyhow.]

[redarrowqueen]

Does The Arrow mean anything? [Total longshot but Thea sees no harm in trying.]

[conner_el]

Iiii know a Green Arrow. [A beat.] Not, y'know, personally just kinda know he's the Robin Hood looking guy who runs around Star City.

[redarrowqueen]

Who's your Green Arrow? Because I'm out of Starling City.

[democratically]

Hello... Kon, is it that you prefer? I'm Padmé Amidala. I've been here a little while now.

[Not as long as some, but enough to start to get as settled as one can.]

I can't say that I'm familiar with any of those groups, but if I do happen to come across any, I will direct them your way.

[conner_el]

Thanks. Be nice to hear from someone, y'know?

[Still, he smiles - not too broken up because he's pretty damn sure he's gonna find a way back. He always has before.]

Nice to meet you, though. How's this place treating you?

[Video]

[selfdekustructive]

Nice to see more heroes here! [ Just a green haired, 15 year old kid. Normally, Izuku is more on the quiet side. And where did that notebook come from? ]

I'm Izuku, but my hero name's Deku. What's your Quirk?

[Video]

[conner_el]

[Considering Kon was like fourteen when he started doing the hero thing, this isn't particularly surprising. But he does raise a confused eyebrow.]

Quirk?

[No idea what you're talking about, dude.]

[Video]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Remilia doesn't look like much, she looks like a young girl aside from the red catlike eyes, pale skin and wings. ]

You may be stuck here for a while. And I'm afraid none of those teams sound familiar.

[Video]

[conner_el]

So I'm hearing.

[Something he doesn't sound particularly pleased about, but he's not freaking out about it. So there's that.]

Action

[blindpuppet]

That isn't how I'd describe the situation.

[Enis is leaning against the nearby stand with her arms crossed over her chest. She'd been walking by when she heard the recording and thought to say hi to the new addition to the city.]

I was walking by so I guess I can act as tour guide if you want it.

If not I can hand you a few pamphlets and bugger off.

[conner_el]

[He blinks, turning towards the stranger.]

If you're offering, I'm not gonna say no.

[He might not be particularly disoriented, buuuut that doesn't mean he's got any idea what's going on.]

[Video] (for now)

[solar_flare]

[Yang was just coming back from checking on the bounty board. She's got a leg over her bike, helmet in place, before she checks the comm just to see if she's missing anything she shouldn't.]

[A newcomer. And he's cute. Probably shouldn't be thinking that, since her break-up with Mercury is still fresh, and his disappearance is even fresher, but there it is. Besides, it's just a thought, and she likes that he's being calm about it.]

[She glances away, mulling it over as her thumb taps against the side of the comm device. He's got plenty of people willing to help him out already, he doesn't really need her. But...]

[Yeah, why not. He looks strong. At the very least it might be worth getting in touch with him just to pick up a decent sparring partner. She flicks the switch and sits back on her motorcycle seat with a creak of leather.]

Hey, Superkon! I'm Yang.

[She grins with a playful, lazy salute of her fingers. How you doin'.]

You probably had your question answered already. This place does take some getting used to, but on the whole? It's not that bad. With the whole 'time stops on your real world while you're here' deal, it's kind of like a mini-vacation, and a chance to get to know a lot of people you normally wouldn't.

There's still plenty of criminals and monsters that need punching, though, if you want to keep up with the heroic deeds.

[Yang winks.]

Might even lend you a hand if you're up for it!

[conner_el]

Now, y'see, that's the best sales pitch I've heard since I got here.

[The fact that it's coming from her doesn't hurt either.]
