Seems to be a lot of introductions and specific requests on this thing recently. Let's change things up a bit. Here's a few general questions for the masses:

1. If you could travel to any time period, when would it be and why?
2. If you could have any superpower, what would you want? Why?
3. What's your stripper name? Name of your first or favorite pet/stuffed animal + the name of the street you grew up on. Mine's 'Bear Handley'.

Feel free to comment on everybody else's answers. That's what's supposed to make forums like this interesting.

1. The future! With jetpacks!
2. Flight. Obviously.
3. What's a stripper?

@kara, text

[clobbers]

Nothing important, as in the slightest, remotely whatsoever.

( At least when Mon-El had asked, she was talking to an adult. THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING.

Hence the text. )

Jetpacks are pretty cool, aren't they?

[supersweet]

But it was listed as number three.

And jetpacks are the coolest! Almost as good as flying.

[clobbers]

That means it's the least important! Or really, not important at all.

At the rate tech is advancing, we might just see them yet! :D

[supersweet]

[ Jon doubts it, but Cousin Kara said it wasn't important and he trusts. ]

Okay.

Do you think dad would let me have a jetpack?

[clobbers]

( Thankfully, Jon can't see his cousin sigh deeply in relief. His father may never know the awkward conversation they've potentially avoided here.

Just the way she wants it to be. )

I think you could ask. It definitely doesn't hurt!

[supersweet]

I don't think dad would let me though.

[clobbers]

Well, that's up to him, I think. And if he says no, it's just because he wants you to be safe.

I get that, though. There were things I couldn't do, too.

[supersweet]

He always wants me to be safe.

[ This isn't fair though, so Jon relents a little. His dad has been doing better at letting Jon come with him at home. ]

Like what?

[clobbers]

That's what every good parent does. I'll text you privately so I won't spam this nice man's post.

( Because there's a lot she wants to say here. )

Just a sec, ok?

[ ... well fuck he is now regretting his "answers to password questions" scheme. ]

Obviously. How could I not guess flight?

If you don't know what a stripper is, I ain't telling you.

[clobbers]

Thank you.

[atms]

Nothing to thank me for. I just don't want to be the one to explain that to a kid.

text, private

[clobbers]

Hopefully nobody will for a while. He's my little cousin.

So, yeah. Thank you. And for earlier. I appreciate it.

text, private

[atms]

For future reference, just how young is he?

If by earlier, you mean pointing out how creepy and frankly stupid Mr. Hot Topic Vampire is being, you really don't need to thank me.

text, private

[clobbers]

Ten. And apparently way too curious for his own good.

( Tech-savvy too, apparently. :v )

HAHAHA yeah, that. And he was being dumb. But letting the pet thing go. It seems not a big deal, but it has a bigger context with regard to my family.

[atms]

And here I thought thirteen was usually the age limit on the internet.

[ can you tell he was an adult before the internet really became popular? ]

Letting it drop means you don't have to talk about it.

text, private

[clobbers]

Thirteen might be the minimum age on the TOS of most sites, but lbr parents are handing iPads to their toddlers.

The world's going to have to catch up. And Jon's also just that much smarter than most kids.

( She's proud about that; but can he not put that intellect toward something less risqué? )

It also means you're a sarcastic one. :P Apparently.

[supersweet]

Everyone likes flight! Okay, maybe not people who are scared of heights, but most people!

Soo I should google it?

[atms]

Absolutely not. Googling strippers is a terrible idea.

Go ask your parents if you want an answer.

[supersweet]

Am I going to get into trouble if I do?

[atms]

Probably.

[supersweet]

That's not fair.

[atms]

Life's not fair, kid. Next time, keep the parental advisories on your phone turned on.

[supersweet]

I'm pretty sure that's for swear words.

Life has nothing to do with what you put on the network.
