[Smug looking speedster is smug looking. Holds up a green bean for one and all to see.]

Ever since I arrived here, people are constantly telling me "blahblahblah, magic is real. Blahblahblah, you need to believe in it." I'm going to show you once and for all that this is all a mind trick.

[Pops the bean into his mouth.]

Using ye ol' noggin' [ ( Read more... )

[ There's a faint pattering on the ground, like something being dropped consistently, as York posts, frowning at his seal. ]

So, okay. I get that wishes are possible and I'm gonna ignore the whole magical voodoo part of this in favor of just rolling with it, but--

[Hello Splendor, here’s your resident smarty pants. Aaand he’s tinkering around on a chess board.

Is he…playing chess by himself?

Someone’s bored.]

I suppose Splendor’s up to its tricks again. There have been multiple broadcasts on the network about these strange beans.

[A pause.]

Is there any clue as to what their significance is?

[you might remember a pretty blonde girl fainting dead away on public broadcast. said girl is outside in a field in the Golden District, setting up a target and taking out a bow and arrow stringing one onto the bow, her stance is one of a master archer, if any, and the wind lightly tousles her short, gold curls into her face, however her face is, ( Read more... )

This stupid no violence rule. How far does it go? [Artemis seems really bored, which she is. She's been itching to get out and use her bow, but because of the no violence rule, she hasn't yet.

And it was driving her crazy.]

Haven't got to practice archery since I got here. If I'm not shooting at a person, it's fine, right? [Better be, anyways.] ( Read more... )

Dude!

[The voice that comes through the feed is a mixture of annoyance and skepticism. After their last adventure, he can do without this whole thing.]

Come on! Another mind trick? Seriously? Are villains becoming that unoriginal? I mean first there was the whole ice attack theme. And now it looks like mind tricks are all the rage. What's next? ( Read more... )

In the months I’ve been in Splendor, I’ve been evaluating the behavior of this world. For instance, this place had a steady stream of new inhabitants once a month. There were exceptions, though that was when there was a spike in new voices over the Seals.

That order was disrupted. A month went by where there were no new arrivals.

( M'gann's woken up early this morning. She got the idea in her head that if this place was like Earth but was a different type of Earth that the sunrises and such would be the same as the one she's accustomed to. She already knows the sunsets are the same ( Read more... )

[After a few seconds of pondering, Kaldur finally decides he is ready to communicate. The seal responds and begins posting his voice as he speaks to it. It would seem as though he is speaking thoughtfully, not quite sure what the purpose of this post is just yet]

I have often heard of the possibility of other worlds outside of our dimension, but I ( Read more... )

( By the time M'gann's voice plays on the network, she's figured out the seal and how it works enough to be able to say a few things in a curious but hesitant voice. )

I really hope this works-- ( Her voice is loud and up close then there's static like she's running her hands over it. Her voice is further away, a comfortable volume. ) Hello? Uhm ( Read more... )
