2/23 Text

[argone]

Kara Ellis shared a photo. 2/23 near Recolle U.

So Retrospec sent me a cape. Weird, huh? Had a little fun with Photoshop since it makes me feel like some sort of hero, and it's definitely an upgrade from the towels I wore as a kid. Has anyone else gotten something like this? It feels way, way more significant than just a bit of cloth, but hell if I know why.

[ooc: the photoshopped outfit is just a generic skintight blue. Ignore the big S!]

Well. I remember talking to a guy with a cape, who was kind of preachy? I also remember talking to a man who was supposed to be my uncle, and holding a baby named Kal. And working in a lab with that other me's father.

[maidofmistakes]

Huh... So you were some kind of scientist?

[argone]

Yes.
With weird fashion sense.

[maidofmistakes]

You mean, wearing a cape.

[argone]

No, wearing a toga.
The cape I don't recall.

[maidofmistakes]

A toga? Whoa. That's pretty... different? Was everyone just dressed like that?

[argone]

It is.
And yeah, they were. Uh. Kal was wearing a baby toga. And my uncle, Jor? He was too.

So was my aunt, but I didn't get her name.

[maidofmistakes]

What, you mean Aunt La

2/2

[maidofmistakes]

I have no idea where that came from ignore me

[argone]

Kara.

Do you remember Kal and Jor?

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah... Does that mean we were related? I've never seen anyone else from my memories before!

[argone]

What about Zor-El? Does that name ring a bell?

[maidofmistakes]

It's kind of fuzzy. Sorry. This is so weird.

[argone]

Well. Jor-El was other me's uncle. Zor-El was his brother. Her father.

That makes Kal...I guess Kal-El her cousin?

That means either Jor-El has another relative and you're their kid. Or we're related in that other life.

[maidofmistakes]

Is that okay? Being family all of a sudden in some other life. I mean, I know you said I was sister-like and all, but I'm just making sure this isn't weird.

[argone]

Kiddo.
I was going to ask if you wanted to just be my sister when you got back.
So no, it's not weird.
And it is fine.

[maidofmistakes]

You mean it? Just being able to say that? Wow... Of course! If it's okay. You've been around longer than pretty much anybody.

[argone]

I do, Little K.
You mean a lot to me.
I wanted to say this in person when you got back but, y'know how I feel.

[maidofmistakes]

Thanks. For everything. It's still kind of unbelievable.

[argone]

Nah. It's nothing.
You deserve better than to get shuffled off.
I'm not capable of adopting you, I'd be a terrible parent but I can be your sister.
With or without sharing memories.

[maidofmistakes]

Thanks. I guess since we can't leave the city, or at least not to normal places, then if the people I'm with get tired of me, I'd still be here. So you don't have to worry about that.

[argone]

If they do, tell me.
I'll make a place for you to stay.

It's not finances that's the problem, I just don't have the ability to meet all the requirements on paper. And I'm not home much.

[maidofmistakes]

I owe you, like, a million by now. But I'll try not to cause trouble. Thanks. I mean, for everything.
