[ max isn’t big on typing — the device feels fragile and small in his hands and hitting the right places is an exercise in frustration, really — but the voice and video functions are similar enough to some of the things that can be achieved by furycrafting that they seem almost familiar. so here he is on the network, still in full uniform, looking very much like a roman soldier straight out of a history book, for those who have romans in their history books. (to those who know clark kent, he might also look like a younger version of clark pretending to be a roman.) ]

Can’t say I really understand what furycrafting’s gotten me here and I do have to get back, but while I’m here —

[ his posture and expression might have been professional until now, fit for a legionare, but here he grins, something rakish and wide. ] Where’s the nearest bar? Any recommendations for food or drink?

[ a moment later, he sobers again. in more quiet tones, he adds: ] Calderon, if you’re here as well, come find me.

The United States. It's a country on Earth.

My name is Clark. What's yours?

[ Someone should help him. It looks like a job for Superman, if he wasn't preoccupied thinking about something else.

Everyone else's doubles share their name. This is probably the multiverse's most unexpected coincidence. ]


There's something you should know about the city, Max.

Do you mind if we meet in person?

[ At least he has a cape. Good taste. ]

I'll be there in a jiffy.

[ Max wouldn't be caught dead saying "jiffy", probably.

Clark is wearing a baseball cap and a light-colored jacket. The bar isn't that crowded at this time of day. That's good. He doesn't want to make a scene in public. ]


Max? [ Clark takes off his cap and speaks softly when he talks to him. ] I'm Clark.

[ Glad to spare this poor man from more typing. ]

Pardon? [ He looks as bewildered as he sounds. ] No, I can't do that.

[ That he knows of. ]

a-ok by me!

Yes. [ He swallows. ] It's apparently common enough here.

[ Though usually they share a name as well. Clark is keeping that worrisome fact to himself.

He can't sense deception from Max either but Clark can't suss it out when he's faced with a good liar. ]

That's not the half of it. [ Max just accepting it helps. Clark's not sure if Max wants to shake hands so he nods. ] It's nice to meet you, regardless.

I've been here a while, so if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

[ Not a capslock guy. Clark takes out his phone and shows him the key. ]

Like this. You can set it to read out any text or turn the function off if it's not your preference.
