video; ID reads Superman

[andaway]

[When the video comes on Kal is grinning. Which is, admittedly, something he hasn't been doing lately. For once he's near vibrating with nervous energy.]

Hey! Superman here, for those who don't know me. A couple of people have already mentioned what today is for those who don't know what the 4th of July means, and I know there's other barbecues going on so I'll make it short:

I've set up a barbecue on Maurtia Falls, and anyone who wants to come by is invited. It's in the open near the building complex, really easy to find. Bring some food of your own if you'd like, and we'll cook it!

[He goes hang up, but then he thinks better of it and adds:] Oh, and there will be vegan options as well, if you're worried about that.

[And off goes the feed.]

[Crane returns Kal's grin with a warm, pleasant smile. His energy isn't nervous in the least. He's excited.

Hello, Superman.]

Anyone?

How fantastic. I'll bring steak.

[Hey. This is a public post and it did say anyone.]

[Why you gotta be so ruuude. Kal's smile drops from his face in 0,2 seconds, flat. The only good thing is now that they are done pretending he can cut him out honestly.]

I can't exactly kick you out, but I can and will keep an eye on you.

... I'll be on my best behavior.

[The biggest 'eat-shit' smile he can muster alights his face. It's a promise. He'd seen the hurt that had crossed Superman's face that day; so he drops an incendiary bomb into the conversation.]

And I would hope you'll be affording everyone the same attentive care. It would be a disaster if the heat of the day got to people's heads, after all.

[Like it had to his. You remember, don't you? He knows you do.]

[Kal can control his body language with incredible precision. Unless he's caught of guard, he is actually very skilled at masking his emotions- he just doesn't want to most of the time, and instead chooses to be an open book.

Said control is the only reason his eyes are still blue and not a blazing red as he looks at the camera.]

Let's just say that I will make sure certain people do not get close to each other. Wouldn't want me to have to get out the big guns, would we Dr Crane?

Hey Superman, I don't live in town but think I can come by anyways? None of the other celebrations are big on the vegan thing.

video

[andaway]

Of course! I'll actually be glad to not be the only one eating from the vegan menu, really. I'm guessing no, but do you need me to come fly you here?

video

[animalage]

No, I got the flying covered, but thanks for the offer.

And I totally didn't know you were vegan! That's so cool.

Not the most strict one, sometimes I don't have any other options. I was stranded on this planet once- most of the plant life was venomous or wanted to kill us so Kara and I had to eat meat to survive.

But I have been a vegan since I was very young.

[heavyhitter]

im coming and im bringing someone u gotta meet

[andaway]

Well, that isn't ominous at all. Looking forward to it then.

Who is it?

[heavyhitter]

ur long lost, somehow younger twin from the 1800s

[andaway]

You realize that in my world that isn't actually a crazy possibility. I've met girl-me, bad-me, Russian-me, old-me, etc. The list is long.

[tucky]

I'm gonna come. Ramir invited me.

Do I have to bring my own stuff, 'cause I don't have anything right now.

[andaway]

[Ramir sure got the word around, because he assumes this isn't his '1800s twin' she was talking about.]

Nice to meet you then, come by any time. There should be enough meat and food to go around, so that's no problem- you can just come with your appetite.

I don't think we'd met before?

[tucky]

Nope. That okay?

[andaway]

Of course. What better reason for a party than to meet new people?

I'm Superman. Or Kal, if that is too flashy for you- it is for most people.

Sure KF. Whenever you want some burgers poke me and I'll cook some for you no matter the day. But is everything okay?

[runningstart]

[tactile_telekinesis]

So down for this.

Though staying far away from the fake meat options.

[Video]

[andaway]

I'm sure your blood pressure would thank me if you tried some. It isn't going to kill you, you carnivore alien you.

[Video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

My blood pressure would love a juicy burger made from a cow.

[He smiles.]

The only way I'm eating it is if you don't tell me. That's not a challenge by the way.

[chiroptophobic]

I don't think so.

[andaway]

[Voice is good. Voice means he doesn't have to keep his facial expressions in check. So he leaves the feed like that. But this is good, isn't it? The fact that B has replied at all instead of just not bothering to make an appearance means he's considering it.]

I'm fairly sure you aren't going to melt away just for having a little bit of fun. come on, the food will be good.

[chiroptophobic]

[ Batman has to decline so that Bruce's appearance doesn't look suspicious. ]

When was the last time I elected to have a little bit of fun?
