First flight -- video;

[ihavettk]

[There's a crash, followed by a sort of rush of color, then the white nose of a dog comes into view. Then there's a shout from the other side of the room.]

Krypto! I told you not to get into my things!

[The dog barks, then the snout disappears, and after a moment, Kon picks up the camera. He's a teenager, very muscular, and wearing a black t-

Hello! I'm the Doctor! To avoid confusion, Dr. John Smith. Excellent attire for the pooch, might I add.

Which would you prefer you be called by?

[ihavettk]

...do we have a lot of Doctors? And thanks, it looks better when he's flying.

Um, either works, really.

[dominie]

Unfortunately. Usually I needn't have to tell people, because there's only one of me. But now there's enough to cause a good amount of confusion, so some warning deters confusion.

I'm a Time Lord. My species regenerates when it dies. If we're killed, we return with another personality and body, but with the core memories and ideals of our true self. Currently there are five versions of me dawdling about who knows where. If you put out traps you might catch one.

...You did say flying? [He's not all up on his superdog knowledge.]

Praytell... how?

[ihavettk]

...well, I'm probably not gonna try that. I don't know what I'd do with a Time Lord if I caught him. And, you know, no jars that are big enough.

Same way I do. [Kon grins and pushes off the floor to float a few feet up.]

[dominie]

Quite impressive. [Nice Scottish "r" roll there.] I have the impression that fetch is interesting.... and taking him for walks.

[ihavettk]

Oh yeah, fetch is really awesome. And we usually fight crime for exercise. [He lands and scratches Krypto's ears, and the dog bites, wagging his tail, then whimpers a little because he misses flying. But their Kryptonian abilities aren't working on the Barge.]

[dominie]

That would make fetch even more entertaining than I previously predicted.

There are other dogs aboard the barge, though. He shouldn't be bored or find himself lacking in sufficient entertainment.

Have you encountered anyone you know aboard yet?

[ihavettk]

...wait, what? We don't play fetch with criminals!

Molly said she's got one. Krypto'll probably be happy for the company.

Yeah, one guy. Hoping there are more, though.
