oo2 | Video [ID Reads: Conner Kent]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[It takes a couple of seconds for the colour to balance properly on the broadcast and for his features to actually show up brighter. Once it does, he smiles and brushes wet hair from his eyes and fixes his glasses a little. He then moves the phone so the view of a beach behind him is visible.]

So actually being able to go to the beach has been a pretty cool experience. Sand beats a dusty road any day of the week.

Hey, I’m Conner by the way. Kinda new, just not really had much to say but thought I should maybe say something now?

Oh, this place doesn’t have a Big Belly Burger does it? Cause I’ve been craving one for weeks.

S'got a place with a really big eehhmmm outside that does the damn greatest fries I ever had in my LIFE.

[ Can you tell? Can you tell that he's only just discovered this fact by all these empty cartons he's surrounded by? Just the staggered remains of poor, innocent servings of fries and ramen litter his path of destruction, cementing the clear view that he knows nothing about keeping his shit tidy, but knows everything about what dipping sauce goes best with those deep fried sticks of what was once a carbohydrate. ]

But I dunno about the other place. Still kinda tryin' to get used to everythin' myself.

[ And at that he grins, leaning forward as if that's his compromise for sticking out a hand for Conner to shake. ]

I'm Naruto.

[Hey, his room wouldn't be much better if he actually was in there. Clothes everywhere, empty pizza boxes, take out cartons.]

Yeah still getting used to it too. There's a few differences...okay, there's a lot of differences that are kind of throwing me through a loop.

[He smiles and gives a wave.]

Nice to meet you Naruto.

video

[thinhammer]

Nice to meet ya too, Conner!

[ Naruto is all smiles still even as he leans back to continue. ]

How long you been here? I dunno if the differences get any easier, but so far I'm still slippin' up a lot.

[tactile_telekinesis]

Probably a month? Back home, our cars have wheels and we dress a little uh...different.

What's it like for you?

video

[thinhammer]

Uhhh. In my village we don't even have cars, so..

[fridgeflower]

I haven't heard of that restaurant, specifically, but I'm sure it's possible to find something close.

Welcome to the madness.

Re: video

[tactile_telekinesis]

Really? That sucks, it's one of the best places back home.

Ha, thanks. I think.

video

[fridgeflower]

No problem.

Are you in Heropa, by any chance? I can recommend a good burger joint or two. I don't really know anything about the other imPort cities, though.

video

[tactile_telekinesis]

I am right now, yeah. Thought I'd check it out when nothing was really going on.

video

[fridgeflower]

Well. There's the diner on [ this street and that one ]. I've always found it a pretty good bet. Their shakes are great, too, if you're into that kinda thing.

Nice glasses.

And good job. Do you need Clark Kent to do anything to help with Conner's secret identity?

video; private

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He reaches up and touches the frame.]

Thanks. Went for the less nerdy looking pair I could find.

[Praise!]

Well it wouldn't hurt to have that little bit more to the identity.

video; private

[andaway]

Mine aren't all that nerdy. [Yes, yes they are. He pushes them up as he grins.]

We could always go the cousin route. Having Conner get here a bit later than Superboy was a smart move- and if the Conner and Clark identities are close my power might help protect your identity as well. I'm really not sure how it works but it's worth a try?

video; private

[tactile_telekinesis]

[Pointed look.]

Uh huh.

Cousin route works. Yeah, I thought it would make it easier if Conner came in with the last bunch of people.

[He smiles though.]

Yeah. I mean we've got the family resemblance thing going on any way. [Hahaha]

video; private

[andaway]

[Hahaha look at this not-at-all-awkward laugh going on here.]

Yes, we do. I'm pretty sure trying to deny resemblance would only get us in trouble anyway. Also I'm not the cook at Big Belly Burger but if you ever want to come over I'll definitely cook for you. [Just, you know. You'll have to handle vegan, Kon.]

[dogsled]

Conner Kent? Any relation?

video;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Relation to?

video;

[dogsled]

Clark. Clark Kent?

video;

[tactile_telekinesis]

Oh. He's my cousin. You know him?

video;

[dogsled]

He cooked dinner for my partner and I recently. I have to say I was most impressed with him. I'd like to be better friends.

And I think Diefenbaker was rather fond of him too.

The beach is pretty cool, but I got sick of it pretty quick.

[mostly because he immediately got SAND IN HIS SPANDEX when he first showed up here, gj miles]

I've never heard of a Big Belly Burger, though. Is it a fast food chain? Sounds like one.

[video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Sick of it? How could you get sick of a sight like that? [And he motions behind him.

But if he knew about the spandex, then he could agree. On some level.]

Yeah, it's one of the best back home. I gotta go a little further out from where I live to actually get near one? But not too far.

[video]

[luckynumber42]

It's just--sand gets in your clothes, and it's really hot...also I'm from the coast so the beach isn't really anything special to me. Maybe weekend trip special, but that's about it.

Well, I haven't seen any Big Belly Burgers around in De Chima or Heropa. Just the usual ones--McDonald's and Burger King and stuff.

[video]

[tactile_telekinesis]

Oooh yeah I guess if you're near it then it kinda looses its charm. I'm from Kansas so kinda land locked on all sides.

Hm, suppose those will do when the urge rises for junk.

Thanks though. For alternatives.

[video]

[luckynumber42]

Whoa, Kansas?

[you might as well have said you're from Italy, pal.]

Isn't that weird, though? Not being able to see the sea whenever you want?
