[Zatanna appears on-screen looking like she had just gotten out of the shower.  Her face is virtually unreadable as she tilts her head to one side, towel drying the ends of her long, black hair.  She's dressed in her usual beige capris and purple tank top, though the latter is spotted with water from the wet strands.  Addressing the camera directly, she sounds oddly calm for someone who's just experienced the things she has.]

One question.  

Well, okay, maybe more than that...but for right now, let's just focus on the one.

[She pauses to casually flick her hair back, continuing the drying.  Her voice is flat and unamused.]

Was the slime really necessary?

[seethemoon]

That's your first question.

[backwordscompatible]

[Very blatantly not responding to that. But she does at least put the towel down.]

Superboy. You're here too?

What about the others?

[seethemoon]

Some are here, I think. Artemis helped me.

M'gann isn't.

I'm still trying to understand what's going on.

[backwordscompatible]

This is just too weird. Even for us.

I mean, didn't we win the fight?

[master_of_the_game]

Another familiar face.

[Her eyes narrow from beneath the towel.]

You again.

Didn't Artemis kick your sorry face all the way to Arkham?

Belle Reve.

Whatever.

[Jason recognizes her;

but he doesn't hold much hope for recognition. everytime a new one of them pops up, it only grinds deeper his irritation, because none of them are from the right timeline.

but when has that ever stopped Jason Todd from keeping his mouth shut?]

I keep asking myself the same question.

voice;

[backwordscompatible]

Unless you can somehow give yourself the answer too, I don't think that would really help much.

voice;

[lethalforce]

You'd think being from the future they'd come up with something a little more people friendly.

Re: voice;

[backwordscompatible]

They kidnapped us. I have a feeling "friendly" isn't the first adjective we'd use to describe them.

Recently it's come to my attention it might actually be space lubricant, so.

Yes.

[totallyhisniece]

Missed you too Zee. Make the jump okay?

[backwordscompatible]

[She starts wearing her fingers through her wet tresses as she talks.]

We just saw each other maybe ten minutes ago.

Oh, that reminds me--where exactly are we?

[andblockbuster]

That's only the one question I've been asking since I got here. ...Right after "who were the dead dudes in the closet" and "why are we being hounded by creepy red text messages?"

[backwordscompatible]

I'm not even going to ask about the closet.

The red messages are obvious, though. Somebody's trying to scare us.

[andblockbuster]

Probably for the best. That one hasn't made a reappearance.

[He gives her a "well no duh" look.] And it's working- also... Some guy managed to offend it, so we might be massively boned. [He shrugs a little Yeah... Make of that what you will.]

[backwordscompatible]

And by "boned", you mean...?

[audio]

[notmydiagnosis]

If it isn't, the prankster hasn't felt the need to tell any of us, let alone the original few that wound up on this ship.

[ Have a dry, annoyed voice, followed by a light sigh. ]

You seem fairly well adjusted to someone who's just experienced their first jump.

[audio]

[backwordscompatible]

The first hot shower helped. The next two helped a little more.

[audio]

[notmydiagnosis]

[ Ah yes, the showers. The communal showers. If the annoyance shows even through his voice alone, it's a bit thicker than the last sentence or two. ]

I've never been a fan of dormitory-style living.

Re: [audio]

[backwordscompatible]

I'm not really one either. [Only Child Syndrome] But it's not terrible. And it's not like I have a secret identity or anything, so I don't have as much to worry about.
