Anyone?

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone from Smallville here? Metropolis?

They're real places.

Kansas, even?

Holy cow Uhh. I've heard of it, but I'm not from there. Are you?

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm from there. I was getting worried because everyone I met hasn't heard of any of those places.

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

From what I've been seeing, there's not a lot of people that are from the same places as the rest of us.

I'm Tyler, from Massachusetts.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so I'm finding out. But I'm really relieved that people have heard of Smallville and stuff - my visitor said I made it up.

And I'm Clark, nice to meet you.

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

Your visitor? We get visitors??

Shit you really are It's nice to meet you, too. Maybe soon I can meet you in person? Even though I've never been to Kansas, it'd be nice to talk to someone from home, even if it's not quite the same location.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They'll probably tell you if you get one; mine was a friend, so I'm not sure what to think. I trust him but at the same time I'm not sure what to believe, y'know?

Sure, that'd be cool. I'm always up for meeting new people. When would you like to meet?

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

Well, considering what I've heard they can do to people's heads here, that doesn't surprise me, really, I guess.

I don't know, I don't really have anything planned? What about you?

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but the thing is, I do think he really is my friend. And I think he's trying to help...but the stuff he actually said about where I come from and my parents, it contradicts with what I know is true.

I don't really have anything planned either. Maybe the next shift? Or if that doesn't work, there's always lunch, I guess.

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

Kind of like them insisting our names are something other than what we know they are. Unless they didn't do that to you. But if they made up an identity, then why not a whole other life, too?

The next shift works for me. I have something to do quick, but I'll come find you after that.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

I guess that's a way of looking at it: I kept getting called "Kal", and I thought at first it was like an alias or something and that he was trying to help without being obvious about it. Now I'm not so sure what to believe.

Okay, sure. I'll be the really tall guy with brown hair (although that probably doesn't help much).

[shyboyblue.livejournal.com]

I think they like keeping us off-balance like that.

I think I can find you, don't worry.

Metropolis ...Smallville...

I read about them in a comic actually, an American one. I didn't realize they were actual places.

-Kyon

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

...I didn't think they'd actually make comics about any of those places. But they really are real places.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

[Hastily scribbled, as if the writer remembered something]

Oh my god, KYON. Are you okay? The last time I saw you was when we rescued you from whatever they did to you in the hall...

[bored-narrator.livejournal.com]

Ah...

Oh! Clark? I'm doing fine! Thanks again for saving me back there. I'm not sure what would have happened.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

That's really good to hear!

I'm sorry to bring this up, but how's your, um, condition?

[written hastily, as if in fear]

[bored-narrator.livejournal.com]

[Clark's note is ripped from the conversation and replaced with:]

We can discuss that in person, maybe after lunch??

Re: [written hastily, as if in fear]

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[rushed handwriting]

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

Are you from there?

Re: [rushed handwriting]

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm from there.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

You're kidding. Are you... Is your name actually Clark?

Feel free not to answer if you don't want to.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Um...yeah, it is.

Please don't tell me you're one of the meteor infected I've run into

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

Are you serious?

Clark Kent?

Can I meet you? Please?

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

I didn't know people knew my name.. Are you from my high school?

Yeah, we could meet, I guess just gotta figure out when.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

It's... complicated. I'm still not sure I understand it. I think it's better if I explained in person.

What activities are we doing today? We could just keep an eye out for each other, I guess.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

[Random, but trying to keep Clark from getting too spoiled about his being Superman]

Oh, okay.

I'm not exactly sure about what we're doing. I know we'll definitely have lunch as normal, but other than that, it's up in the air. If it helps, I'll be the really tall kid with brown hair.

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

I know _{[thoroughly scribbled out]}

And I have medium-ish red hair, if that helps.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Guy or girl?

[light-wicca.livejournal.com]

....Right. Girl. Sorry!

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Okay, hopefully we'll fun into each other sometime. :)

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

Nebraska, actually, but the two states really aren't that different.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Empty and wide open? Small towns all over? :)

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, though Kansas is flatter and it does have the World's Largest Prairie Dog. All Nebraska has is the World's Largest Porch Swing.

Exciting, let me tell you.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Hey, small towns got to have something, I guess. I think Smallville used to claim it was the "Corn Capital of the World".

[quickdrawbkiddo.livejournal.com]

Being a native of Nebraska, my instincts are to deny that as a lie. Thankfully, I got out of that state and can easily quash those instincts. Though being the corn capital of the world is better than housing the World's Largest Ball of Twine.

Smallville anywhere near Cawker City? If so, I'd start to worry about the contents of that ball of twine really being made out of corn silk. It's be such a scandal.

[2cuprhubarb.livejournal.com]

Elaborate.

From what I have determined, all places are real to someone. Simply saying they are real places means very little. You also appear to be claiming, however inadvertantly, that all places other than the ones you have heard of are not real. Perhaps you are trying to insult every person who is not from your Earth. By that standard, I am offended.

[son-ofkrypton.livejournal.com]

Um, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone.
