All he had wanted was some peace and quiet. First, he had found a way to rig the TVs in the hotel to link to the ship's library. Second, he had convinced Stacy to just let that be, and explained how odd "pulsing walls" were to most of them. Finally, he had found a couch on the far wall in the lobby that had the best view of the big screen TV the ( Read more... )

Slobo walked into the sensoriums, and the room became a true blank slate, a white empty void. He wasn't sure what he wanted. He just was angry. His general nightmares had been unchanged, though he was remembering them with more frequency now. The thought of his own failure and how easily he had been taken down by Darkseid, the thoughts of Dream- ( Read more... )

On the Observation Deck, the sixth candle is lit on Allen's menorah. The last five evenings have seen him distributing programs of omnicom games - simple stuff that didn't take him away from Engineering work, mostly - and tonight is much the same. Congrats, Meatshippers, you can now play tetris on your omnicoms as you stroll through the halls ( Read more... )

A large selection of single articles of clothing that could easily cobble together something, a jar of hair gel, and a mirror. He wasn't happy with the mirror, he had hoped for a full-length, but beggars can't be ( Read more... )

Somewhere in the City there is music... and it's loud. For blocks, easily, it can be heard pouring out from open windows and doors of the building it's coming from, and closer in, the bass can felt as much as heard ( Read more... )

Slobo had been wandering through the ship. His first stop had been engineering, to use an arc-welder and tailor his plantsuit. Now sleeveless with an open neck, he felt much more comfortable, and the blowtorch had allowed to to cauterize the tears and prevent immediate regrowth. Feeling better about his garb, he simply began meandering through ( Read more... )

Katara had her time to laugh and her time to cry after finding out about her world. She'd had fun with her Outsider friends, she'd broke down in front of a person she would rather have not done that with and she was still adjusting to recent events. Throughout all that had happened, there was still the silver lining: Toph was here, and now there ( Read more... )

Dick had spent nearly twenty-four hours straight sleeping once everything was settled. Or, at least, as much as it could be settled at the moment. And that meant Dick could finally allow himself to get some rest ( Read more... )
