Kon-El... unpopped! [Open to all!]

Dec 05, 2007 14:36

"This is not where I went to sleep," Kon-El announced to the room, more for the sake of saying something than because he thought he'd get an explanation from the giant kernels of popcorn surrounding him. There hadn't been any popcorn where he'd gone to sleep, he was sure of it. And he hadn't been covered in what smelled like the 'butter' that got ( Read more... )

After a few months, the scarab had finally learned to compensate for the mercurial nature of Hogwarts. It could actually locate people again with a fair degree of success, something that had made Jaime's life a bit easier. Especially when a certain crazy Japanese girl had grabbed his wand and run off with it in retaliation for moving before she could hit him with a snowball. He was already running late as it was without having to play hide-and-seek throughout the entire castle.

He was a bit surprised when he was directed down an unfamiliar passageway, to an open door at the end of the hall. "You sure about this?" he muttered. Shrugging at the affirmative, he stuck his head in the door. "Okay, Fido, I know you're in here. I don't have time for this and - holy crap, Steph wasn't kidding about the popcorn," he finished. Jaime looked all around, taking in the myriad cases of popcorn kernels, the plaque, the supposedly dead superhero covered in butter...

Wait a second ( ... )

Okay, so this probably wasn't an actual kidnapping situation if people could come and go at will. That was reassuring and meant that the butter-situation might not be in immediate danger of destroying his image.

"Hey!" Kon tried shaking his arm to see if that dislodged any butter. When it didn't, he looked up at the guy and waved. This was probably plan C: act like the butter thing is completely intentional. "Got a towel?"

bantersucks December 6 2007, 00:10:01 UTC

Kon did not have to worry about destroying his image. Jaime's brain was still processing a few things, and the butter hadn't registered yet. "Dude. You're Superboy." Which the scarab more or less chose that moment to confirm. "I mean, you obviously know that, and this was like the last thing I expected to see since I always get the memo after the fact and I'm going to shut up now."

Oh. Butter. He'd laugh if it wasn't so surreal. Reality kicked in, and Jaime spread his hands, indicating his still snow-dusted coat and boots and total lack of anything resembling a towel. "Sorry, not on me. I know where to get some, though." His brain seemed to be rebooting. Something seemed... off. "This may sound kinda nuts, but - last time you checked, what was the date?"

tktactile December 6 2007, 00:27:28 UTC

It was actually pretty unusual for people to gibber like that on meeting Kon. Superman, sure. Supergirl, you bet, though he was sure that was due to her hotness more than the S. Still, it looked like the guy was calming down a little. "Yeah, I don't usually hang out with popcorn."

At the gesture to the... snowy... coat and boots, Kon frowned. "June, 2002." Specific dates weren't something that entered Kon's world all that much. It wasn't like he went to school or had a normal job, so he'd have to write down the date or look at it every day. "I can go as specific as 'Tuesday.'" Snow =/= June. What. The. Hell.

Wolfram was marching past the Hall of Popcorn in a fury. What set the blond off wasn't entirely important. It could have been Yuuri, it could have been Yuuri's breakfast, or it could have been the institution of breakfast as a whole. It wouldn't be the first time. So really it didn't matter what set Wolfram off, as he probably would have been angry anyways. Unfortunately for everyone around him.

But the sight of Kon-El seemed to give him a start. He turned around and put a hand on the pommel of his sword. Wolfram's eyes grew wide as he stared at the other boy, and he put his free hand protectively by his own temples when he finally spoke.

"Who are you? Who attacked you? Why did they attack your hair? Why did they only get the sides?"

tktactile December 6 2007, 03:27:23 UTC

......Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

"Superboy, no one attacked me, and shut up, my hair is awesome." Kon crossed his arms. If the guy meant the hand on his sword as a threat, well - Kon wasn't worried about that. "I've got my own style."

wolfram_jyari December 6 2007, 03:41:43 UTC

"Your hair is afraid of your ears, so it can't be that awesome. If it was, it would be braver." Wolfram had put his hand over his sword in mock fear of the beautician ninja, and now that his point was made, he moved that hand to his hip.

"Why are you in the Hall of Popcorn? Do you have a nefarious scheme? For nefarious purposes?" The blond hoped so, he was cantankerous and bored.

tktactile December 6 2007, 03:49:54 UTC

"Whatever you say, man." He was just jealous, anyway. "Nothing nefarious here. I don't actually know why I'm in here," except that it involved butter and possibly salt, "but 'nefarious' is not my thing."

"KON!" There is a blur, and then our dear Kryptonian finds himself with a Bart on his back. Who quickly slides to the floor, thanks to oil. Doesn't stop him from throwing himself at Kons front.

Now, there's an image for the slashers. Bart and Kon, both covered in oil, Bart gleefully embracing his friend. "Welcome back!"

tktactile December 6 2007, 05:07:41 UTC

A familiar face! Even better, a friend and teammate! Who was also wiping off the grease! Kon hugged back, because damn, Bart was normal compared to a room full of popcorn in Scotland five years in the future. "Hey, Bart! I don't remember being here the first time, actually."

impulsivekid December 6 2007, 15:16:15 UTC

"Funny, neither do I! But thats okay, cause there's magic here, and it's fun and there's that girl Steph, and some people from our future, and a whole lot of stuff and OH!" Bart leans in closer. "Don't try to run until you're dried off, okay?"

tktactile December 6 2007, 21:24:49 UTC

"People from the future?" Most people here were probably from the future, at least according to Kon. Well, Bart probably wasn't - or at least not much from the future. "I won't. I'll just fly, OK?" Why run when you could fly, after all?

Batmna strides into the room, his eyes on a small device in his hand. If what this said was correct, then the major energies flowed through this room, which meant-

And then there is the sound of someone being unpopped. His head snaps up and his gaze locks on to his old friend.

In that stupid freaking jacket.

"Superboy."

tktactile December 6 2007, 05:15:11 UTC

((Assuming assume Kon should not know this Batman = Tim. He's YJ-era, so the leap of logic is kind of past him.))

Oh, great, the Batman. This, he needed. Kon crossed his arms and did his best to grin like he wasn't intimidated. Or at least like he still hadn't lost his dignity to the buttery stuff. "Wow. You're definitely the greatest detective in the world."

not_robin December 6 2007, 05:23:48 UTC

Tim keeps the grin off his face. Young Kon. He firmly resists the urge to lean up close and say boo.

"Here." He whips out his wand and waves it quickly. A towel appears, just for the young man. "Try to make yourself look respectable."

tktactile December 6 2007, 05:35:06 UTC

"Yeah, that's not a lost cause even before I start." He grabbed the towel and started scrubbing the butter off anyway, starting with his hair. That probably had the unfortunate side-effect of making it kind of spiky, but TK could fix that once the butter was off. "Thanks."

Aaaah, the smell of students covered in questionable foodstuffs. Steph had met some of her closest friends right after they'd unpopped! And also re-met an alternative version of her ex-boyfriend, who was evil and gun-toting.

She tried to concentrate on the positive meetings, though, and thus followed her nose to the unpopped person, intending to introduce herself.

But when she saw who the new student was, Steph could only manage one reply.

"Holy shit!"

tktactile December 7 2007, 00:29:10 UTC

Steph? "Steph!" Someone familiar in the room full of giant popcorn kernels! Who was really, really surprised to see him. Which... was fair! Rooms full of giant popcorn kernels weren't precisely among Superboy's usual hangouts. "Um... surprise?"

busty_robin December 8 2007, 19:19:42 UTC

"Kon!" Yeah, she was gawking a little. Hey - last she heard, Superboy was dead! Not that she had any room to talk, on that one.

Okay, Brown. Reign it in. Being covered in butter is disorienting enough for a person! "Surprise is right! Hi!" There! Hi. Hi was good. "It's good to see you!"

They didn't know each other all that well, but it was always nice to find out someone wasn't dead!
