Big Things in the works for the_devils_see

[ichoosefight]

You know, it really worries me when you get that glint in your eye. Even more so when it happens in this place. You know I can't do anything about it, why won't you give me at least a little hint?

...How about a hint that doesn't involve talking to a time-traveling, pyromaniac, mythical bird?

Yes I know phoenixes aren't pyromaniacs but seriously, the whole freaking lighthouse was on fire I'm not just going to let that go.



I'm really not going to like how this ends, am I.

You might not like ending the set, but you can at least go out with your biggest laugh.

Just go for it and do whatever you think you should do.

[ichoosefight]

...

That is actually not bad advice.

And yet, coming from a clown, I inherently distrust it.

[jokester_not_joker]

[He sighs, he's been getting this a lot.]

This joke is getting old. My name is Jokester. I'm not Joker and I'm not even from your version of Earth.

Where I'm from the sides are swapped and people's histories are very different.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, no, I totally get that! [ Really, alternate universe stuff, after being on that damned island as long as she has it's all old hat. ] It's just sort of ingrained in my system.

Nice to, uh, meet you, Jokester.

[jokester_not_joker]

Fair enough. I guess it's the same way I start thinking of really horrible joke every time I see one of those Robin kids. He reminds me way too much of Talon when it comes to looks. He really should update his wardrobe.

Nice to meet you too. I'm guessing from the reactions that you're one of the many allies of not-Owlman?

[ichoosefight]

I'm going to just pretend I got that, make a joke about scaley underoos and hope it translates.

I'm not-Owlgirl.

[jokester_not_joker]

Owlgirl? Huh he never really brought any girls to the fold I don't think. I guess that is due in part to the fact I only killed once while Joker doesn't have that limitation.

[mother_nature]

Glad I'm not you right now! I detest fire!

[ichoosefight]

Be glad you're not me every day. The fire was just for a day, but the man-eating monsters live here.

[mother_nature]

Oh, well, that's not so bad.

[ichoosefight]

You only say that because you think you wouldn't get ripped to pieces. Trust me, heard it before. Powers don't work much on the island, and when they do they're rarely much help.

[mother_nature]

It's got nothing to do with powers. I'm no longer human. Human blood doesn't flow through my veins anymore. If they're man-eating monsters, they'd have no interest in me.

[ichoosefight]

Well they went after Superman, so I'm pretty sure homo sapiens isn't in the diet requirements. Not to mention the horses. And there was that one Swamp man thingie...

[ofdrumsthesound]

Time travel?

[ichoosefight]

Since there's no record of the thing or its big distinctively-not-asian-looking lighthouse after 700 years ago, I can only assume.

[ofdrumsthesound]

At least you haven't gotten dragged to the wrong century on the wrong planet, then.

[ichoosefight]

That remains to be seen.

[ofdrumsthesound]

You haven't yet, or you would know that the pheonix can time travel.

[ichoosefight]

We don't know what century or what planet it is. Although the resident stargazers seem confident that it's still Earth.

[nices]

A time-traveling mythical bird?

(They've run into weirder things - 3-D Draculas, anyone?)

[ichoosefight]

[ That they have. ]

Yeah. Our lives, seriously.

[nices]

(Seriously.)

Sounds like you're in a pickle. Anyone in the lighthouse when it blew?

[ichoosefight]

No, nobody. Probably. I'm assuming because it wasn't actually there before it went up.

[nices]

So...it appeared and then blew up? At least no one was hurt.

(Assumptions never turn out well for these two.)

[ichoosefight]

It happened overnight. As far as I know, it appeared on fire. But you can see why I'm reluctant to visit for a chat. [ Although she did investigate the place! ]
