[Today, Kon's standing outside the Talon, a renovated movie theater that currently serves as a coffee shop and hangout for teenagers... in Smallville, Kansas.

Needless to say, he looks kind of speechless as he turns the screen to show the marquee and then the outside of the building before focusing it back on him. He coughs, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose before he quietly says:]


I know you guys've said you've started seeing stuff from your worlds... well, you can add me to that list. This place here's the Talon. It's a coffee shop, though I haven't bothered to go inside yet.

I'm kinda afraid it's locked or something. [Not that it'd really be a bother for him, what with his heat vision, but he certainly had to keep up the illusion of a smalltown boy from Earth.] But if it's got food, I'll definitely be taking it down to the safehouse later.

[He stops, opens the door, and blankly stares as a basketball pummels him into the face. Wait, since when did the Talon come equipped with those?] OW! [He rubs his face, even though he was more surprised than hurt by SUDDEN BASKETBALL TO THE FACE.] Where the hell did that come----

[Voices interrupt his cursing. Around the Talon, it's the voices of rambunctious teenagers talking about their after-school plans: writing articles for the school newspaper, figuring out how to get drunk in a dry county, events for this week's church youth group, the best way to tip over the cows in Mr. Stein's yard.... Despite the normalcy of it all, there's one conversation that makes Kon shudder.

They're talking about "meteor freaks," the kids who were powered by kryptonite, the alien rocks that fell from Krypton several years ago in Smallville. Although no one's ever been able to prove that Kon WAS one, they weren't able to disprove it either. They wonder about his origins for a minute, before launching back into their original conversation.

Kon presses his lips.]
... Is it just me, or are there voices in the area too?

[she is licking the screen on her CAT and enjoying the tastes.]

You sound like you're having fun!

And you're right about the voices. For every place brought here, that seems to come right along.

Although...those voices talking in the background sound like they're pretty rude! These are the kinds of people from your world, right?

[Sophie is looking at the strange place in Kon's broadcast with interest--until he takes the sudden basketball to the face] Oh my goodness, are you all right? Nevermind the voices--what threw that object?
fortune_sought: (Positive)

No problem!

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-06-17 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sophie frowns severely] Yes, that would be like this town. [but what strange voices! she wonders what they're talking about, but first things first...]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Sophie Hatter.

Well, it should be an ordinary lock, right? We can get that open easily enough. So on the whole, that sounds like good news.

[He tilts his head for a few moments, then jerks back when the basketball hits Kon, eyes wide] …hah! Well, that's… a bit more than voices, isn't it?
desertdaggers: (the shine of preparation)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-19 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[…oh, huh. That's curious- could be he's tougher than other people, for whatever reason.]

I can manage on small rations for a while, but… not forever. I'm glad you'll be alright, though… and you're sure? [He tilts his head, looking a little concerned.]
fortune_sought: (Dissatisfied)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-06-19 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[her scowl implies otherwise] It's nice to meet you as well, Mr Kent. And I'm afraid it has been. This is the third time I've been brought here, but it seems that, once again, they've made it difficult to get out.

But nevermind that for the moment. Do you see food inside that coffee shop?
desertdaggers: (bugs mean poison)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-20 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. Your family must be pretty tough, then. [He nods.] Hopefully that won't be too much longer… I wish I knew more about how this place operated.
fortune_sought: (Confident 2)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-06-20 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [but she doesn't want to scare him, so she adds:] Though I'm certain we'll find a way out again.

Oh, thank goodness. [Sophie sighs in relief at that sight] Would you like some help? Where exactly are you?
desertdaggers: (bugs mean poison)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-22 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if there's anyone who's come from somewhere else much like it.
desertdaggers: (you don't say)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-23 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's true! Even if we don't find anyone, we'll still learn something about each other.

Ah, really? Even so… what was it like?
fortune_sought: (Looking Sideways)

[personal profile] fortune_sought 2012-06-23 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

[but she gives him a look at that] You can't possibly mean to move all that food on your own! I'll be there shortly.

[in fact, she's already setting out]

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-24 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[well it's not like he'll tell anyone from Kon's world…]

Ahhh, that's too bad! I haven't heard a lot, but it sounds like it ought to be a lot more exciting.
desertdaggers: (you don't say)

[personal profile] desertdaggers 2012-06-24 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Particularly if you have the time to spend seeing the sights instead of worrying!
