Eventually! Ah, I mean...Once everything gets itself sorted out, somehow...[trailing off, glancing offscreen at the junk paperwork he's gotta go over. glancing back, scratching his brow.] I'd like to get as many different people as possible, to share a bit of the diversity that comes from that machine. If it is all that diverse, that is. I can't really say I understand it all that well, myself! So it should be a pretty educational experience.

[a lopsided smile.] Well, it's really not my place to convince anyone. A reporter's job is just to report things as they are, objectively. The best I can do is give people enough information for them to make smarter opinions about things.

[Havea DC resident who has no idea Clark and Superman are connected 8D]

Hello, Mr. Kent. I can't say I've ever had much contact with Earth's media outside of a cluster of microphones, so I'm afraid I'm a little ignorant. What sort of stories exactly are you gathering?

video ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 20:33:57 UTC

Ah, well...It's definitely not going to be the same breaking news about destruction and doom most of the archives have about the imPorted, that's for sure. A few of the ideas I got listed right now, though...[reaching off-screen and moving a paper over.]

"Adapting to City life", comparisons and contrasts to other dimensions; superpowers and side-effects, which I got a bunch of other little points written down. Ethics and effects on the economy, tourism, et cetera...

[he smiles haplessly.] I've got a pretty big scope to poke around at, really, so once I start zeroing in on a particular topic, a whole bunch of little side stories come popping out.

[beat. duh, manners, Clark.] Ah, I'm sorry. Your name, Miss...?

video flyinwithheart March 21 2010, 20:39:55 UTC

That's a lot to cover right there!

[Flips on her own video to smile and wave a little.] I'm Starfire of the Teen Titans. You're a reporter from my world, aren't you? I know I've heard your name.

[eyebrows lifting in recognition. a smile and a vague wave in respone.] Well, I don't know about all this alternate universe business too well, but I definitely know about you, Miss Starfire. Gotta say, it's nice to know some of the heroes back home are here helping out. Even if, ah, well, we're not really supposed to be here.

... that's actually a pretty damn good idea.

video ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 20:49:26 UTC

[grinning a bit at that, shrugging up his shoulders.] Well, thank you. To be honest, I was just itching to get back to some kind of work I"m used to...and this topic seems to be pretty untapped. Rare, for this kind of work.

Guess the whole 'do what you're used to' thing works out for most people. Me, I never want to go back to my old job. Either way... it'sa good idea.

video ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 21:04:10 UTC

[tilting his head a little.] Your old job-- is it alright if I ask what it was?

[Oh, so that is Clark Kent. Bruce back home was right - it's like he and Superman are two different people. Literally. Well, everyone did say that the Man of Steel wrote the book on superhero disguise.

Here comes an innocent smile of total unknowingness!]

That sounds like a great idea Mr. Kent, after all of the things that have happened in the past few weeks.

[smile of total notknowingyouknow. ]

Thank you; I really hope that it's helpful for a whole lot of people. And, well, it ought to help me figure some things out, too, so there's another plus.

[Video] nightstarrising March 21 2010, 21:14:25 UTC

I'm sure it will be. It's nice to see someone aiming for objectivity in journalism and I think people are usually less cynical about that.

[Video] ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 21:19:15 UTC

[a chuckling sigh.] You know, it's funny, saying that. People these days are so suspicious of reporters and newspapers and suspcect favoritism left and right...But it's really not as bad as people think.

[beat. blink. er--] Ah, well, where I'm from, at least. I can't speak for a whole 'nother universe, or here, even!

That is a great idea, Mr. Kent! I wish someone had thought of that back in my old world: Mutant Affairs, or something. Newspapers never really were big fans of ours.

[Video] ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 21:07:48 UTC

Now there's a whole 'nother story to write, right there. How media works in other places, compare and contrast...[he scribbles that down on his paper quickly.]

[Video] soultospare March 21 2010, 21:10:36 UTC

Hey! What happened to the imPort story?

[Video] ex_ofsteel March 21 2010, 21:15:24 UTC

Hm? [glancing back up.] It's all connected. I mean, there's no one story--it's all pieces of a bigger picture. I'm definitely going to try and tackle the more relevant points for the community, but there's still plenty that can be taken and run with.
