Doesn't Earth have days when it officially becomes spring?  I never quite understood that, I would have assumed that was something you would have noticed beforehand.  Why would you need a day declaring it to be spring?  There never seems to be the appropriate level of celebration considering we've spent so many months in such freezing cold weather ( Read more... )

[Kory is... more or less naked.  ....More so than usual....  And surrounded by a rather confusing mess of purple fabric and lace.  That is either a stocking or a glove hanging off the lamp behind her.  Kory is looking thoroughly incredulous.]

I generally try to take Earth customs in stride, but this is really ridiculous.

[She holds up a pair of ( Read more... )

It is startling to realize that for all the chaos that exists in the City, there are still places that are... Peaceful.

I think I had forgotten that...  I think...  I think it will be nice to have somewhere quiet for a little while.

[Kory's voice is shaking, full of intense sorrow and a building horror.]

I...  I came back.  I wanted to travel for a bit, by myself and when I came back...

Gar's...  He doesn't even look like himself.  He's...  I can't find anyone.

I can't leave him.  He's not breathing.

[Kory is a bizarre combination of frustrated, furious and sad.  Lurking behind her, is the shadowy form of a woman who looks startlingly similar.  Behind her is a wall of the Titans (clock)Tower.  Or what's left of it anyway...]

I need a sparring partner.  Someone who is very strong.  Please.

And Ro- Red Robin, I am very, very sorry about the wall...

[Kory is sitting on the floor of the Titan (clock)Tower common room, at the base of a decent sized Christmas tree.  Sitting next to her is the big tub of hodge podge ornaments from last years tree.]

Almost without realizing it, I've been here a whole year...  Sometimes it feels like it's been forever and sometimes it feels like I just got here.  Isn ( Read more... )

Oh, that was strange!  I was barely back home a minute!

Hello, how long have I been gone?  What did I miss?

[4 am wake up calls from bleeding team mates make for cranky alien princesses.]

Honestly, I'm starting to lose my temper with all this nonsense more than anything.

[Titans Filter]

Given the recent events, I am calling for a roll call.  Is everyone all right?

[ooc: sleep deprivation and storms mean tagging in the morning o/]

For the love of X'hal...

It's a sign I should not take anymore spontaneous vacations while ignoring the comm in this world.

I'm sure I can guess a number of the answers, but I will ask in case they vary:  is everyone all right?

[ooc: Kory was in Italy this entire time.  Spontaneous vacations/relief efforts/avoiding moodiness.  That's my story and I'm ( Read more... )

[Pretend this is at a sane time in the morning...  Still, Kory's voice sounds like she's been up pretty late and that she's been crying.  Crazy times in Titans Tower and missing/hurt/ported out friends make for a sad alien.]

It seems there have been quite a number of these announcements of late..  For those who knew her, Donna Troy has been ported ( Read more... )
