[Ho hum, just another day in Heropa. Gabriel is outside for a change, loitering in the street and looking bored for the most part.]

Okay guys, I don't get it. They drag people here to register with the military and then...? Question mark? What exactly do you registered guys even do? I mean there's nothing stopping me from taking a jog to say uh, Thailand and staying there. That kinda makes this whole thing one giant moot point, cause from what I'm hearing there's more unregistered than registered.

Keep on fighting that good fight. Or each other. Whichever makes you more comfortable. Considering the human to other ratio here, I'm surprised it hasn't kicked off already.

[Pauses, he's watching something happening across the street, taking a moment to wince and hunch his shoulders. Oh, whatever that was had to hurt.]

Anyway. I've heard the name Atropos being batted around this place. Someone tell me what the deal is with that nerd being namedropped here?

Job security.

[To the first question. That's all she has to say about it.]

And apparently Atropos caused some problems before. But that's not surprising.

I'm registered and I have no idea either. I guess we're super heroes.

[This is coming from a woman who got Ported in exhausted and half-dead a few weeks ago though.]

Do you want to go to Thailand?

Atropos is a long story.

Most people I have talked to only registered in order to keep their housing. [ and the other perks they offer ]

But even so, could they force anyone to fight for them? It is true they bring us here in hope we will aid them, but in the end, there isn't much else they can do but to request it of us. [ but not really demand. Can they really force someone to fight for them? ]

Best thing to happen to a lot of us.

[ 'ASK ME ABOUT TITANS' was going up on a zazzle and he was going to wear that shirt for thirty dollars plus shipping and handling sooner or later. ]

Several of us were already military or retired. Shows at least they aren't completely indiscriminate.

Shhh. You're gonna give somebody ideas.

[it's k, she's got her sense of humor back]

Seriously though, what do you mean? I'm kind of... new to, like, any of this Superman shit being real.

Something tells me if they ever really needed us to go marching into battle, they wouldn't give a shit who's registered or not. Ain't like they went around getting permission to bring us here in the first place.

[pffff] Well, if you insist.

Oh. ... Well, at least this shit exists in comic books back home for someone else too. [Pause.] Makes it sound like we're in more of a Cold War than they told me. I mean, I know this world's still pissed at the Russians, but.

Okay, that'd be awesome.
