That's a mediocre response. So what do you like? Besides babysitting two guys who think the best therapy is to beat yourself up via alternate universe shenanigans, I mean.

[torchbearer]

I don't know how much therapy they get out of it.

[ seems more like grim satisfaction. but what else would scratch that itch? kyle rubs the back of his neck. ]

Well, I like art. Big fan of creative ventures. Movies, music. Anime, definitely.

[definecat]

Take it from someone who's been in the head of one of them that this definitely helps. The clown would be better, but he doesn't seem to be volunteering.

[Sleeper shrugs, and sighs. It's not really their place to say much more than that, but even just sticking to the surface, there's a lot that carries over.]

Music, huh? Definitely a fan. Unless it's tuned wrong.

[torchbearer]

[ kyle wisely doesn't follow the topic of the joker. not here, not right now. ]

That happen often? I'll admit, I'm up to date with all the new trends.

[definecat]

No, usually when I have sonic-related issues it's because someone is trying to kill or capture me. Can't use the teleporters they have here without ending up a puddle.

[They're used to everyone knowing about symbiotes, or at least enough that it really was an issue.]

When most of the family go by cuddly-sounding names like Phage, Carnage, Agony and so on, you don't get the best reputation. Could be worse.

[torchbearer]

[ did he just reveal his weakness. ]

Yeah, nothing sets you at ease like Carnage. I take it you're estranged from them?

[definecat]

I'm very glad none of them have made it to this corner of reality. At least Toxin's new host seems to have mellowed them out. But honestly, aside from the Dads and Dylan, I'm not sure I want most of the family to remember I exist.

[Sleeper shrugs.]

But what about you? Is Green Lantern an alias or a title or something?

[torchbearer]

[ that sounds very depressing for an alien cat. ]

Uh, yeah. It's a title for people who are chosen by the Guardians. We patrol space, make sure people are okay and fight crime. The usual, except space side.

[definecat]

So, you got drafted or something?

[They can't imagine letting anyone else choose what they were supposed to do. Another reason why they prefer the cat-shape.]

And how'd you meet Jason?

[torchbearer]

More like I was in the wrong spot at the wrong time sort of deal. The Guardians kind of vanished for a while and I worked solo.

As for Jason and me, he knew my ex girlfriend. We had to commit to some dimensional hopping adventures.

[definecat]

Sounds like a real headache if you ask me.

[torchbearer]

It always is. But that's sort of the nature of the job.

[definecat]

And that is why you'll never see me getting one of those. Too much work.

[torchbearer]

It's not for everyone. And I don't think you're missing much.
