Okay, so the basics?

I lied.

I am not a normal person. Trust me, I wish I was. I'd LOVED to be a normal person which is why I maintained my secret identity. Of course, if the universe is gone, that's kind of pointless. And if we do make our universes again, I guess I could just lie if someone is from my world and say I have no clue.

According to Nemesis there are universes where I am normal, so it works out well enough.

And since I already had to tell people because when we're about to be eaten by zombies? Lying about powers doesn't seem the best idea.

So, yes, I am a barmaid from Apex City. Yes, my best friend is Helen/Deja Vu from the Luminaries. And yes, I have been possessed. Just some of the facts have been smudged a bit for the people I've told this.

I am in fact part of the superhero team. I am Dream Weaver.

I can make illusions for most anything, unless it's a camera. Cameras don't pick them up for some reason. I can put people to sleep, not instantly and not a wide spread area. I can astral project. You know, the whole spirit leaving the body thing and walking around. Which is how I got possessed because my body is kind of an empty puppet then.

....and I can travel through dreams.

Woah, 2009? That's really weird to hear. I'm from 2001. I know that everyone comes from different times and all, but that's still freaky.

If you ask that, people could just say, "course I know them, I read comics", or "Yes, I just ran into Batman down the hallway". You might want to be a little more specific.

I've never heard of those guys. Guess your stories never made it into any comics I've read, huh?

Not as freaky as can be.

Well, yeah, I can be more specific in that situationn.

All things considered, that'd be best. We...kind of have an odd way of winning.

You haven't had any battles that involve oatmeal, have you?

No, no Otameal. Banana pudding though.

Okay, I know I'm going to regret this but - how did you have a battle involving banana pudding?

E decided that filling the super evil lab with banana pudding was a totally sensible and rational thing to do to stop them from completing evil experiments.

Did it work?

Well, it did fry most of the machines, not being made to be submerged in pudding. The chemicals blew part of the building being crashed into each other.

Nice. Very nice.

[and yes, Marco is laughing his head off while reading this. Though you can't hear that, of course]

E is positively the most insane, annoying, unpredictable, incomphrensible being to EVER exist.

What, you didn't like seeing your enemies defeated by pudding?

The lab was disabled. Didn't say we caught the big bad. E and I are the only ones who could move with ease and he was eating it with the 'new spicing' and the mentalist blasted me before i could put anyone to sleep and illusions don't work on them with the mentalist around.

Ah. Bummer.

We did eventually catch them. When they got another building.

....chocolate pudding worked much better when it wasn't up to everyone's chest.

Hang on, so banana pudding didn't work, so you moved onto chocolate?

How crazy is this "E" guy?

Let me describe this with a metaphor.

You are looking for the code to disarm a bomb that can destroy a galaxy. You need this information. You're practically yelling to get it and panicking about this code.

Unless you say 'E, tell us the code to disarm the bomb' directly to him in the hopes he knows, he'll go eat hot dogs. Especially when he DOES know.

You know, it sounds like things would be much better if this guy stayed in the pods.

Oh, lord yes. There was something he was doing to the Kanshian ship before I put it under and I really don't know WHAT he was trying to do. I'd rather he not try a repeat on Stacy.

Hey, maybe if you ask real nice, Stacy will make sure he stays in the pods.

And who decided to name the ship Stacy? Isn't she meant to be some sort of weird alien vessel?

I do wonder about that...I mean, all things considered, I'm surprised she let ME out. I mean, I need access to the core, but I've put organic ships down for good. And I just caused a whole fleet of them to blow up as my last memory.

...the Kanshian ships don't like their head vessel to stop operating. Hivemind makes them all explode.

She does have a weird name. Stacy is just close to the first part of it and we can say it.

You can? Well...don't kill Stacy. You know, what with all of us being on her and all. I like being alive, you know.

And you took down a whole fleet? Okay, you realise that you are official Very Cool now, Selene.

Ah, like Ax. His whole name is way too long.

Well, it's not like I intended to kill those ships. I was only meant to put them to sleep. Their connection to the Kanshians is what made them blown apart, I think.

Yep! I did it before, so I figured it'd work again. We were hopeful that the hivemind would mean putting down the head ship would put down the whole fleet. Of course, I had to get to the core. And unfortunately, the mix of machine and living tissue means I can't quite phase through it. Not sure why.

Pretty much.

They were your enemy, weren't they? They were a threat to you and what you were fighting for. You did what needed to be done.

Phase? Like Kitty Pride? Or can you only do that in astral form?

I know. But I still only intended to shut them down.

I have to be astral. When I'm astral, there's very few things that can affect me.

Guess your missions always go wrong too then, huh?

Cool - hey, if pretty much nothing affects you, guess you don't have to worry about getting injured or dying then?
