Show me the REAL beds, plz [Closed]

This ship was odd, he wasn’t really sure what was going on or where they were supposedly going. Hell, they could have been in the belly of a giant whale for all anyone knew. He wanted to lean up against a wall while he waited for Dick, but there was something that was weird about leaning against a living ship...thing, whatever it was

Well, Dick wouldn't argue with Jason being a douche. He was working on it, but...well, it was still Jason. Tim he would argue about, but that was just because it was Tim.

Dick walked onto the Obs Deck, raising his hand with a grin. "That is so not fair," he said, making a motion toward the Green Lantern uniform.

[greenisnewblack]

Kyle raised his own hand and waved back. “Yeah, I know. Everyone is green with envy.” Yeah, he probably would have groaned with that joke if he hadn’t just made it. Though, he did wonder if everyone slept in the meat suits or if they were able to sleep naked or something. The suits looked…. Well, they didn’t leave much to the imagination. Not that spandex did either for that matter.

“So you know the USS Beefstick pretty well, huh?”

[goddamnwingman]

Dick? Well, he just grinned. Because he wasn't above making a few puns of his own. "That was awful, you know." He reached out, clapping his hand on Kyle's shoulder, offering his other hand. "I don't know how well I know the ship, but I've been doing a fair bit of poking around. Enough to give you the basics, at least."

[greenisnewblack]

“Hey hey hey. You know it was a good one.” It was nice to see a friendly face. After all, Guy was his best friend… but the protective streak that was going on was getting way out of hand. And Hal…well, Hal was Hal and could be rather stuffy when he wanted to be.

“So tell me.. do I really have to eat that slop… I mean this is Soviet Russia or anything. ” He had a few thousand questions...

[goddamnwingman]

"I didn't say that. I just said it was awful." It probably helped that Dick had no idea what Kyle was heading into. Not that Kyle knew that yet.

Dick laughed and shook his head. "You're lucky. A couple times a week, we get real food now. Though a lot of us took to taking meals in the Sensoriums. Which makes it at least look and taste a bit more appetizing."

[greenisnewblack]

“…and beds. Have to become some officer right?” Because, he really couldn’t handle sleeping in an organic version of a Japanese capsule hotel. It made him feel like he was in some twisted version of the morgue and an actual bed would be nice. Hell, anything outside of those cubbies would be nice.

“…and really, I still need for someone to prove to me that I’m not dead.”

[goddamnwingman]

Dick shook his head. "No, you don't have to be some sort of officer." Though it was kind of understandable that Kyle might think that. When Dick ended up in any sort of group back home, he tended to end up as the leader. Or at least A leader. "But it's only recently that we've been able to access the former crew quarters. The last few weeks at best."

Dick blinked at Kyle, then shook his head. "Stacy pulls people from the last moment that she could before the timeline collapsed around them. Or so we've been told. And she apparently heals them, too." He made a motion to himself. "Like the last thing I remember? Is making my way to the Tower to call up help while Batman went to deal with Brother I." Because, well...it was Bruce's fault, wasn't it?

[greenisnewblack]

He stared for a moment. "I blew my self up..." Why would the universe collapse after he blew himself up. Couldn't it have waited a few hours or something? Sighing faintly he looked up at the sky meat...sky thing...

"You haven't seen any dead people coming back as zombies or black power rings floating about, have you?"

[goddamnwingman]

"You may have succeeded." Dick didn't want to think about that, but...well, it was true. "You're not the first person to arrive here when they should have been at death's door. It was the last possible moment to pull you from, no matter when the world collapsed." Hey, it made sense to him. And Dick was good at making sense of things.

Mention of zombies made him shudder and grimace. "Zombies, yes. Black power rings, no." He glanced over. "Ours were more the usual movie type zombies, though there were a lot of variation in them."

[greenisnewblack]

That was a relief, at the least it meant the entire Black Lantern Corp got blown up when the universe exploded. Shaking his head he rubbed his temples a bit.

"Seems like this place has a sick sense of humor, robbing a guy of his big heroic moment only to spit him out in a bunch of alien snot." Though, after all the drama that Guy had given him with blowing himself up and then Jason... speaking of which...

"Jason... the hell is he doing here? And who replaced him with a pod person? He actually seemed pissed that I blew myself up.."

[goddamnwingman]

It, unfortunately, didn't mean that there weren't Black Lantern rings on the ship. Especially given some of the other stuff they'd rescued.

Dick made a soft sound and shook his head. "Hey. Don't say that, okay? I mean, come on. We're fighting not just for our universe here, but for all of them." And it meant Kyle wasn't dead, which Dick was all for. There'd been too many funerals of late.

The mention of Jason makes him look over and raise an eyebrow. "It surprises you that he might actually care?"

Okay, so it had surprised him a bit, too. But he was getting used to it. "Jason...I think a lot of this has hit him pretty hard."

[greenisnewblack]

“I figured he cared about things, but the fact that he yelled at me for killing myself…” It just seemed like this was all some kind of bizarro world. A giant ship made of meat, a Jason that actually cared what happened to people… Kyle could just hear the Twilight Zone theme in the background.

Either way, there was one thing that was obvious. “If Jason is acting like a normal human being the shit must have really hit the fan…”

[goddamnwingman]

He had to pause, looking over at Kyle seriously. "Kyle. You know I respect you and everything you do as a Green Lantern and as a Titan. But if you don't lay off the Jason thing, I might just punch you." He took a breath and let it out slowly. "I know there's stuff I don't know. You guys are ahead of me and I don't know what I've missed. Right now, that's a good thing where Jason's concerned. I'm the one that's easiest to reconnect with, the one that will give him a chance. And I think he needs that chance, Kyle. Because you're right, the shit really has hit the fan and if we can't get him grounded, I'm sure you can just imagine what could happen."

[greenisnewblack]

He could have easily explained to him some of what happened, but was that really his place? Sighing faintly, Jason had all but jumped down his throat the moment he arrived. Then he did a one eighty and confused the hell out of Kyle.

"Yeah, sorry man.." Kyle was just one of the few people that could get under his skin for some reason. "Build a bridge and get over it, right?"

He looked up at the meaty ceiling. But, what else is going on here... that weird voice told me some things..and I've heard rumors. But, I haven't seen a single badguy on this ship..."

[goddamnwingman]

Yeah, Jason did that to a lot of people. He did it to Dick. Dick was just getting used to letting it roll off his back and going on.

"Nah, you don't HAVE to," Dick replied, smiling a little. "I'm just learning to pick my battles with him. Nothing about Jason is going to change overnight, assuming it really changes at all. But right now, we're ally in a really crappy situation and even he realizes that."

He looked upwards as well, then wrinkled his nose. "Luthor's here," he warned. "Not our Luthor. This one is younger and...I don't know. I haven't met him face-to-face yet, but we're keeping an eye on him." 'We' being the Bats, of course. "And there may be bad guys that we don't know about, too. Not everybody here is from our world or the worlds immediately around ours."

[greenisnewblack]

Kyle would probably never get to that point. There was only so much he could take before he felt like he needed to punch Jason in the face. It’s always been like that, probably always will be. “Luthor? Yeah, I heard something about that. But…I mean what can he do? He’s a genius, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to try anything with so many of us here..”

Though really, Luthor was probably near the bottom of Kyle’s ‘shit list’, there were dozens of people who were more likely to cause actual trouble and damage… “Has anyone tried anything?”
