video » ∞ somewhat encrypted

[aequoreal]

[ in lieu of saying something like "i hope so", kaldur simply switches to video. ]

Kaldur'ahm. [ he says with a nod that doubles as a greeting and tries hard to keep expectation from his tone. he mostly succeeds. ]

[shootsoff]

[He watches the video but that doesn't explain why this guy knows his name. The name doesn't really ring any bells either.]

you know me? from where? oh man im sorry if i did something bad and dont remember it

[aequoreal]

No apologies are required. I know a Roy Harper in my world. We are friends.

[ or they were, before kaldur went undercover. are they still? he doesn't know.

but if this isn't the roy who knows him, the clone, maybe it is the original. the man (boy) the roy he knows was cloned from. maybe it is simply someone from another world by the same name and codename. ]

[shootsoff]

wait really? that's kind of wild.

do you know jason todd? or princess koriand'r?

[Then, after a few moments, another text.]

if it turns out we're from different worlds we should be friends anyway, or at least give it a try

[aequoreal]

I'm afraid I do not know either of them.

[ which suggests the "different worlds" theory. ]

I would like that.

[shootsoff]

too bad. theyre the best.

guess were from different worlds then.

how long have you and au roy been friends? tell me about yourself!

[aequoreal]

Almost as long as I have been on the surface. I am Atlantean.

[ in case the video hadn't clued roy in already, with his gills visible. ]

[shootsoff]

[He definitely clued into that one. Interesting. For a moment he feels like he's seriously missing something, but he can't figure out what. Again. Always like there's something missing...

Brushing it off, he just replies.]

nice. you guys on a team?

[aequoreal]

I am. Your counterpart prefers to work alone, though we have at times teamed up.
