[The feed opens on the sound of an outdoor cafe, all chattering voices and traffic. There's a mildly smiling face looking into the camera, the top of that red and yellow S-shield on his chest just in view at the edge of the frame.]Hello.

[unhands]

You must be that chick's cousin or something then.

[supermanliness]

Good guess. That'd be me.

[ ... pause ]

No one said you were supposed to be a giant tool.

[supermanliness]

It sounds like you and another responder of mine would get along nicely. I haven't caught his name yet, or I'd introduce you.

[meowminx]

[ She's all suited up. ]

Well well. Look what the cat dragged in.

Figure out you were here before yet?

[supermanliness]

I did notice that, yes. And I take it having no memory of previous experiences here isn't unusual.

[meowminx]

Not really, no.

[encrypted]
Bruce will be pretty damn glad to see you, Clark.

[supermanliness]

Glad to see that I'm fitting right in, then.

OH FUCK ME

[ Come on, Mitch. You've said hi before. Let's do it right this time. Don't embarrass yourself! Wince. He did just say fuck me to Superman. ]

[ SWITCHING TO VIDEO ]

Oh wow. Sorry for that outburst. It's good to have you in the City, Superman. I'm Mayor Hundred.

VIDEO FOREVER

[supermanliness]

[amused sort of browquirk goes here!]

Quite alright. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mayor. [a pause] Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're an-- ImPort as well, right?

SD:FKGFG /slowly tags you forever

[homomachinis]

I'm afraid so. Just another import like everyone on this network, but don't let our numbers fool you here. We're still a pretty small minority when it comes to the grand scope of things.

/SLOWLY TAGS BACK AT THE SPEED OF MOLASES...

[supermanliness]

Then it's all the more impressive that you managed to win an election as a minority. I can't say I've caught up with much of the politics around here yet, but it's a relief to know that newcomers will have a voice through you. [BEAMING.] Thank you.

perma......vi..deo.. ueeen

[haki]

S-S-SssSuuuuperman????

[supermanliness]

That's right. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[haki]

Are you really the Cap's friend? Are you really a hero? I'M LUFFY!!

[supermanliness]

Well, Luffy, I'm certainly the Cap's friend, and I have been called a hero. It looks like I'm the Superman you've apparently heard of.

permavid!

[mightymortal]

[SO MUCH GRINNING] Superman!

[supermanliness]

[HAVE ONE RIGHT BACK.] Good afternoon, Cap. Nice city you've got here.

[mightymortal]

Yeah, it's pretty neat. [hhhhhh] ... Most days. How are you? It's been awhile!

[supermanliness]

[DISTINCTION NOTED. B(]

I'm doing pretty well, I guess, for someone who's just showed up in another dimension. That's always a little jarring. You've been well, I hope?
