OK I found my watch
Mun, I've found the watch, and it's practically fused to my wrist...
And you've got so many muses running around in your head, and someone randomly mentions me and you decide I need to be woken up after a decade of dormancy? Bad enough we lost our Kimberly when I went dormant, but now you wanna put me into a place that doesn't even have a spot where I can find other rangers?? At least you let me be one of the good versions of myself... just make sure you keep Kat away from me and we'll be just fine... I hope...

The old nostalgia bug. *laughs* It's no problem, I'm used to seeing younger people on the board.
I just think it sucks that I'm only around when the mun sees comrades..it's like the only time I'm able to get in some headtime is when there are fellow rangers about.
no subject
And it seems my mun likes me with the classic power set but has no problem making me look like I was during my Black DinoThunder days or not. Seems people forgot there's 2 Dragon coins out there, thanks to a small continuity hickup with my Colonial clone.
I sadly was sealed away after I lost my Kimberly. It also didn't help with that Kim there were... others involved. Long story, nothin' but a family thing. But someone's idle comment about maybe making a Billy broke the lock on me.
no subject
Oh lord, the colonial hickup. You know the mun here still can't wrap her head around that-a New England style setting in a clearly Southern Cali landscape.
It's funny, but that's sort of how I came around. Several years ago, there was a game that someone brought in a Billy for, which prompted them to bring me in.
Don't suppose this 'version' (god, that sounds weird) of you is old enough to drink..because the way you're hinting makes it sound like it should be told over one.
no subject
No worse than the White Stranger, you know.
And I can always tap into one of my future versions if my age is that much of a concern. You want strange, picture me as going from race car driver in the Powers that Should be Forgot to a teacher of high school science after having been an archeologist.
no subject
It's not so much as a concern as it's strange. I mean the mun has me in my early 30s here...how could it look anything but strange for me to talking to a teenager like that.
And to think, the early version of you just seemed to be involved in nothing more than martial arts, just like me in gymnastics. You do have to wonder how how the hell we even managed to pass high school with so many of 'extra curricular activities even outside of ranger duty.
no subject
And let's see, Zack with his Hip-Hop-Kido, Jason and I with our constant martial arts competitions, you with the Youth World Games, Billy actually graduated a year early, Trini, Zack, and Jason eventually off to the Teen World Summit... But also don't forget early on I was doing badly in school as half the time I was late for ranger duty was being in detention for being late to class or homework issues.
But if it makes you feel better... [his eyes glow slightly and he runs his hand over his head revealing short spiked hair, a little more of a worn face, but otherwords still the same guy, as his eyes stop on a gray-black glow] I can be around the same age as you. And it just so happens in my own command center I keep a nice bottle of sake...
no subject
The mun here has a history...or maybe future..of me joining the police force and then having me work undercover as a teenager.
[The woman before him is the same Kim, but definitely older with visible signs of stress and a sort of seriousness that the younger Kimberly lacked.]
I've never actually had sake. Not sure Zordon would've ever really approved, but like I'd pass up the chance, especially with good company.
no subject
[settling them in and pulling out the large bottle he poured them two very small cups of the stuff]
I think if Zordon knew that we'd have been doing this since he died, to the point that I had to basically combination mentor and lead a team of Rangers myself, he'd forgive us for a little alcohol to relax.
no subject
You lead a team of rangers, I'm part of a SWAT team for LAPD-yeah, I'd say that calls for some unwinding.
[She accepts the small cup, taking a small sip.] Damn...this is strong.
no subject
[At least where he was from, Trini had been gone for over a decade.]
So, which one of us will weave our tale of storied woe?
no subject
You go first, seeing as you kept saying all these implications, with Billy..another version of me..Kat.
no subject
For the record about Kat, my mun likes the pairing of me with Kat about as much as he does other bad fandom pairings from his other worlds. Something about Crane and Falcon, birds of destiny, sorta stuff.
Well, my major story goes back to the old days of the Internet. My mun plucked me shortly before I'd have lost my powers, and thrust me into a game where there happened to be two other Tommys. Eventually I connected with the Kim there, and that started a very long term story. She and I got married, had some kids who picked up our powers and ninjetti spirits, and went off into space. It also should be said in that world, Kim was Dulcea's daughter. Alot of dark soul vs light soul plots and such, but eventually there was a falling out of the muns, and I got locked up in the Lazarus Chamber, suspended in time/space, till recently.
I'm being test driven in a com called The Station, where one of their players heard of my mun's Power Ranger love, and mentioned that he had me as a muse, and they mentioned maybe making Billy. That's what got me out. But this is a weird place and finding play is difficult so I decided to drop a message to my mun here to find out what was on his mind, and behold, rangers out of the woodwork.
no subject
[She sighs, having long since resolved herself to what happened.]
[She listened into the story, both intrigued and feeling almost nostalgic, finally laughing when he mentioned that there were rangers out of the wood work.] I'll say. I don't know why this is, but as soon as a power ranger comes out into the commn, it's like a breaking dam-no stopping the replies.
[She holds out her cup] For my own. The mun had me enter a sort of village setting, with the idea that I could become a strong warrior in my own right without having to constantly rely on the other rangers to save me. [That last one earned him a slight smirk-just the corner of her mouth.] In the time, I learned archery without the Power, as well as taking lessons of how to be a 'non-power' ranger from Faramir from the Lord of the Rings universe-learning how to track without being seen, making my own arrows and so forth. I met with Billy and it was as much about old times as possible. At one point, Jason shortly arrived in the Village, just as there was some attack with some demon spiders. [The smile on her face widens from Nostalgia] It was almost like old times again, but just as suddenly, he was pulled out.
I was sent back home after a short while, enough to win the Pan Globals and then decided to trade it for a career on the police force. After the fiasco with the letter, I just felt I needed something different, and watching the rest of the Rangers doing what they do best-I still wanted in on that, even if I no longer had a power coin. The police force gave me that chance.
When I was sent back to the village though..I think it was just hard to cope-going from such a high stress job to suddenly almost a sort of forced vacation-it was hard to cope. [She shrugged.] And I've been stuck in headspace ever since.
no subject
[snickers at the rescue comment] You've saved me almost as many times as I saved you, princess. I'd have never survived all the times Zordon infused me with his energy if it wasn't for you, nor would I have been willing to let them experiment in creating the White Ranger powers. I always knew you were strong.
[He listened to her story, sipping the sake as he tried to visualize it.] Sounds like you're living a full life. I admit I've sort of seen my life through a window mostly. But it would be nice to have some of those old times, all of us together again.
no subject
[She shook her head after she managed to recover.] See, there's a difference between me rescuing and me having to be rescued. Whenever you were in trouble, it was because the enemy saw you as a threat, or they wanted to break you into joining them. Whenever I was captured, it was simply to get me out of the way, or they saw me as an easy target.
[The smile remained though, and Kimberly felt both younger and older at the sametime as they reminisced.] Because obviously becoming an archeologist, then juggling teaching assignments and leading a team of rangers is just a boring life choice. [Sarcasm, what's that?] I do remember finding myself in this..actually very creepy...version of Angel Grove, running into Trini and some of the others. After we exchanged stories, she felt I was strong enough to take charge of a ranger team as well, given my experience on the SWAT team.
[The thought was flattering, but she wasn't entirely sure how her own methods would go about against monsters-nowadays her preferred way of fighting was the use of sneak attacks as well as direct combat.]
no subject
[He sobered though as she put the comparison of rescuing over being rescued.] No, Kim, they kidnapped you because they knew you're my only real weakness. But at the same time you're also the person I'd sacrifice everything to save. Remember when I risked it all to save your and everyone else's parents. That's what I'd do.
[He did have the good grace to blush at the mention of his leading and teaching.] It makes me appreciate Mrs. Applegate and how much she tolerated out of us when we were rangering, I'll admit it.
[At the mention of Trini, he sighed some and sipped his sake.] Actually you'd do well with a team of your own. I hear tell of an intergalactic ranger space police department, you could maybe take on a team and train them up.
