[Hai, tall Amazonian Warrior is outside, in front of the Castle, kneeling with the journal resting on her thigh as she dictates. Feel free to bother her in person or through journal idk ]Greetings, citizens of Paradisa. I am a new addition to the Castle's population, and have observed that people here are being held captive. At first, I thought

... Diana?

[holy shit. She was hoping, because if Superman and Batman are here, then-- it was only a matter of time, right? But at the same time... Breathe, Cassie, breathe!]

Diana! It's Cassie. You're actually here!

1/2

[sufferinsapphos]

Cassie? You've been brought to this world, too?

[sufferinsapphos]

I was . . . -

[paauuuuse]

I'm relieved. Your condition? You are safe, correct?

[halfgoddess]

Yeah, I've been here for two months. Two months today, actually. I'm safe.

[pause. Um.]

... what was happening before you got here?

[mylifeisntajoke]

This is the residents of the castle speaking, Ms. Woman.

If you come in so-called-peace, then we expect offerings in support of this statement. Please leave everything you can give at the front of the door of room [insert booster's room number].

Dictated in an unimpressed and humourless voice;

[sufferinsapphos]

. . . I'm not in the mood for jokes.

[mylifeisntajoke]

[adkladklajdlad; sheepishly]

Hi, Wonder Woman.

[sufferinsapphos]

[sighs. Relieved :|]

You too. You were just with me a moment ago, I've been worried about your disappearance since I arrived.

[brokenmage]

That's definitely an interesting new way to introduce yourself.

[sufferinsapphos]

I do not wish to make any more enemies at this point. I understand how people can perceive my presence as a threat, though . . . it's good to inform the public of your intentions.

And you are?

[brokenmage]

Not really. There are plenty of dangerous people here and, not to be rude, but the majority of the people here don't really care. It's a weird place.

Fai D. Flowright. It's a pleasure.

[sufferinsapphos]

So it's like a functioning anarchy? I don't buy that these dangerous people would be met with apathy unless they were being compliant in some way.

Fai. . . what world are you from?

[yeahitsortofis]

[SCREAMS INSIDE, IT'S DIANA WTF?! ♥ just... takes a deep breath and tries not to sound stupid lmao]

Wonder Woman? It's... Blue Beetle.

IS A LOT MORE SURPRISED AND RELIEVED THAN SHE SOUNDS INITIALLY; just exhausted :|

[sufferinsapphos]

Ted?

. . . You're alive.

OMOMG<3 dianaaaa

[yeahitsortofis]

Y-yeah, it's complicated -- [just laughs, because the last time he talked to her she was one of the few who actually listened to him and ajsdhkajsd. he's so thankful] But yeah, I'm alive, under mysterious circumstances.

*o*

[sufferinsapphos]

Mysterious circumstances?

. . . I'm relieved. Many of my friends appear to be here. You sound like you are in good condition, too.

[lanterning]

[via journal; he's out on the expedition]

...

Diana?

[sufferinsapphos]

[Easing up a bit in her tone]

Yes.

John? There's more of you here than I thought. How long have you . . . ?

Diana

[lanterning]

You've got filters figured out, right?

[reading above, he sees that the young Diana-wannabe that he doesn't really know has replied to her. it's likely that this Diana's not from his world]

Exactly seven months. Last count, there were about ten of us here. Shayera, myself, Batman, Booster Gold, Ted Kord, a younger Blue Beetle, Jaime, Guy Gardner, Batgirl. A few other capes. A lot of us from varying worlds and realities.

What's the last thing you remember?

John

[sufferinsapphos]

I do now, thank you.

[ she goes through the list of names in her head, relieved at most of them, but notices Superman missing. She's silent for a while, understanding that she might have to answer this question quite a few times. ]

Blue Beetle had gone missing -- Ted had. Booster Gold and I were to investigate his disappearance. Before then, Max Lord had controlled Superman's mind to go on a rampage.

But ... that had been resolved.
