[ there's a fair bit of rustling around in the twenty-odd seconds that airs before kara starts talking. getting comfortable somewhere, it sounds like. ]

I was thinking the other day- [ kara's cut off by a meow in the background and then a small click! and, oh look. dialogue. "-lot out the sun!" "Then we will fight in the shade." ] No! Pause! That

[ OH LITERARY DISCUSSION. The perfect distraction to his disappointing return, thank you Kara. ]

I can think of one "myth" from home but it's not a very pleasant story.

Anyway, would Biblical stories count? I'm pretty familiar with those.

A lot of myths and legends aren't always pleasant. That doesn't mean they're not still good stories.

Those definitely count.

[bedeviledspider]

Fair enough. Well, if you're interested, I suppose I could tell that one too.

It's kind of a cliche now, but I've always liked the story of David and Goliath. There's something very uplifting about a little guy holding his own against a powerful monster, you know?

[supertorso]

I'm definitely interested.

Oh, yeah. There's definitely something about the stories where the underdog wins. They always make me want to cheer at the end.

voice; sorry it's slow i had to re-read Ghost Rider for this

[bedeviledspider]

The details of the story vary. Depending, as so many myths do, on one who is doing the telling. Even the time and place, as it has mutated from something of a legend to a mere urban myth.

It's the tale of the Spirits of Vengeance. Or the Ghost Riders, as they're more commonly called now. Otherworldly creatures of hellfire and bone who walk around as men and women. Some say they are angels, messengers of God, sent to stop humanity from giving into depravity and sin. To avenge those who can not avenge themselves. Spread across the globe and found throughout time - even now - eternally performing their holy task.

Others would just say they're simply demons. And that we're all lucky a chosen few of them decide to fight for us. Then again... could be a bit of both.

Anyway, I prefer the classics. Much simpler. Plus, like you said, you always know who to root for. And I prefer to place my bets with men, not monsters.

voice; it's cool <333

[supertorso]

Oh, I don't know. Sometimes monsters aren't all that bad.

voice; <3

[bedeviledspider]

Maybe that's true. Sometimes.

Anyway, what about those Kryptonian myths you were mentioning... ?

voice;

[supertorso]

They're stories from my home planet. A lot of them are more children's stories than actual myths, since I was still young when I left, but if you still want to hear one, I'd be happy to tell one.
