Okay, mun. I get it. You like me, you really like me. That’s just great. No, really. I’m a little bit of a different character for you. (Honestly, you’d think that Aya would be more your speed. Or Carol Ferris. You’ve played her before.)

But here’s some ground rules, alright? Because if you’re going to play me, as you obviously insist on doing, there need to be some rules.

First of all, no woobifying me. At all. Yeah, I’ve gone through a lot of bad stuff, and yes, I’m on the road to redemption, and there's that thing with Aya…but I am not suddenly a sweet, soft lover boy. I’m snarky and a little cold and perhaps not the most comforting person to have around. I'm not the friendly, buddy-buddy type, alright? Deadpan snarker, yes. Woobie, no.

I still have a lot of rage in my heart, after all. Keep that in mind, because it means no rushing me away from the Red Lantern Corps to the Green Lanterns, the Blue Lanterns, or the Star Sapphires. (Especially not the Star Sapphires. Wearing what they wear is liable to just make me angrier. You wouldn't like me when I'm angrier.)

Don’t ever have me giggle. Ever. I didn’t even giggle back when Alana was alive, and I don’t intend on getting all giggly now. I don't even smile all that much. Not like your other characters do, so don't have me smiling at everyone like I'm some sort of ditzy teenage Kryptonian.

And by the way, mun? So glad to see how original and creative you were with my user name.

No. Really.

I thought that males of a species did not... Giggle. Chuckle, laugh nervously yes, but it is physically impossible for a man to 'giggle'. [Have a confused Angel looking at you.]

Though mortals are still confusing anyway.

And what's a Kryptonian?

[razer]

[Razer grimaces.]

Apparently, males are capable of giggling.

Male children. Which I am not.

A Kryptonian is a person from Krypton. Planet, destroyed long ago. There's a couple of Kryptonians left, but I've been lucky enough not to have had the displeasure of meeting them.

[Pause. Razer looks at you now.]

Mortals? What are you?

[hackingyoursensors]

I don't think Kryptonians come in "ditzy teenager."

[Then again he only knows Daddy Issues Superboy so.]

[looksfine]

What "thing"?

[lil_angel_tabris]

I did not think you were a child. Young maybe, but no child.

[She goes quiet a few moments as if trying to comprehend life on planets.]

Could say a mistake of sorts. I used to be an angel, a... being created to help guide Humans, now... I'm bonded to one I could not let her die, not when it was my fault she was ill. [Okay it was the girl's father's fault but Tabris was part of the problem therefor in her mind the logical solution to fixing the said problem.]

And what would you be? You're not ... Human, I think that's what they call themselves now at least.

[razer]

What is it with humans and all the help that they seem to constantly need, anyway? For a people who think they're the center of the universe, they're terrible at being able to watch over themselves.

I'm what you people would call an alien. I'm from the Forgotten Zone.

[razer]

I'm fairly certain teenagers from all of the various sectors come in "ditzy".

[Not that he's met any Kryptonians, but it's as good a guess as any.]

[razer]

Thing?

I don't know what you're talking about, Aya.

[hackingyoursensors]

Speaking from experience?

[looksfine]

During your one-sided conversation with this person we refer to as a mun, you specifically alluded to me and something called..."woobifying"?

Please clarify.

[lil_angel_tabris]

They are a young race, and impatient as well as curious Father wished us to keep them from getting into too much trouble before they are ready for it. Does not help that he has allowed them to grow much faster than we are able to work.

Oh, out of our sphere of existence. Though this makes me curious to know what your world is like. Even if Father would rather I not know. [She gives a small smirk] Father needs to learn that his children do wish to spread their wings anyway.

[razer]

Not in the least.

[razer]

I don't want to change into some soft, sweet, simpering version of me that needs to constantly be hugged and petted.

That's all.

[hackingyoursensors]

[Trying not to laugh]

I can see that.

So, there's more than just the Green Lanterns? Do the different colors mean different things or is it just a fashion statement?

[looksfine]

Agreed. A change that drastic would be most unsettling.

[You just wouldn't be you anymore. And Aya would be confused.]

[razer]

Seems as though they get into too much trouble anyway.

At least, the one human I'm familiar with tends to. A lot of posturing, that one.

My world...doesn't really exist any longer.

[razer]

[Mild glare]

There's the Red Lanterns. Us. Me. Not that I'm technically part of the Corps anymore. We're powered by rage, the same way the Green Lanterns are powered by willpower. Which seems a little bit vague, doesn't it? Willpower.

Star Sapphires - the violet ones with the questionable taste in costuming - are powered by love.

And now there's a Blue Lantern. Blue. Hope, that one.

At this rate, I'm just awaiting a polka-dotted Lantern.

[razer]

No, I wouldn't. And after everything...well. I need that, at least. For me to be true to myself.

Whatever that means, these days.

[lil_angel_tabris]

They, are extremely well at that. Probably because they were given the ability to choose the path they wish to walk. Angels were not.

Sounds like he is one of the males from America. They are known for it, something about grandstanding attracting more mates. [Hey she's confused by all of it, but that seems right to her.] And their dress code helps with that, though I can not see how sagging your pants to your knees would help with being stronger than others trying for the same woman. It causes problems with movement, and you have to hold them up with... Oh, rambling. [She bites her lip.]

I am sorry to hear that. Have you found another place to reside?

[looksfine]

Have you not been truthful before now?

[hackingyoursensors]

That's definitely more colors than I though. So, rage? You seem pretty calm to me. Grumpy, sure, but not enraged.

The Polka-Dot Lantern can be the Childlike Whimsy Lantern.

[razer]

Free will is a good and wonderful thing. It's also questionable. Sometimes the path laid before us only offers one option. The choice isn't so free then, is it?

He wears a basic Green Lantern uniform. Perhaps with a few alterations, but it's all green and black.

White gloves, though.

I'm on a ship. With my captors allies.

[razer]

Part of the reason why I'm technically no longer part of the Corps.

I'm working on...bettering myself.

[Razer quirks up a nostril at that last suggestion.]

Suddenly, the Green Lanterns don't sound quite so terrible.

[razer]

I've never been anything but truthful.

Even at my lowest.

[hackingyoursensors]

So you're sort of a lone ranger? Or a mercenary?

[He doesn't even bother hiding a smile.]

You don't like ditzy teenagers or childlike whimsy? I hope you at least like puppies or something.

[razer]

Not really a lone ranger. I've recently found myself with friends comrades allies companions. Well, they started out as my captors, but things changed.

[Razer narrows his eyes at the smile.]

I'm not really sure what a puppy is.

[hackingyoursensors]

From captors to companions. Nice. I'm guessing your former Red Lantern allies aren't too pleased.

Besides fluffy and adorable, they're pets on Earth, valued for their loyalty, ability to protect property, and overall cuteness.

[looksfine]

Then would not the best course of action be to continue as you have been?

[lil_angel_tabris]

This is true... Well for your kind. There's only one path for mine.

Green Lantern uniform? [Yeah puzzled again.]

Then you have a new home I would think.

[razer]

They're...space police. Who wield bright green beams of willpower to fight intergalactic crime.

I swear, I'm not kidding.

[razer]

No. We had a bit of a falling out.

To put it mildly.

Yes. Well. I don't have much value for fluffy, adorable cuteness at the moment.

[razer]

Very much so.

I just hope the mun follows through with that instead of throwing me a...what was the term Jordan used?

A curveball.

[looksfine]

A metaphor alluding to the Earth sport known as baseball.

Why does you mun wish to throw things at you? Metaphorically or otherwise.

[razer]

He thinks it's fun, most likely.

[lil_angel_tabris]

[This gets a look and yeah she's trying not to giggle really!]

[looksfine]

I am unable to locate a definition of 'fun' that involves causing harm to others.

...and I do not wish to see you hurt, Razer.

[hackingyoursensors]

Isn't there always room for some fluffy, adorable cuteness? It might make you feel better, what with being in this crazy place.
