The Story of My Life [semi-open, before Darksoul]

[stupidnecklace.livejournal.com]

Tana had ended up, during her walk around the ship, inside weapons and possessions. There was a little locker with her things in it, and she hadn't really gone through them there. She tossed them into her purse, and brought them to the obs deck for further inspection.

Yeah, it was a distraction, but at least it was a worthy one. Tana dumped the contents of the purse in her lap, nestled back on a far-flung couch where she wouldn't be in the way and rifled through her things.

Her huge, clunky cellphone didn't seem to be worse for the wear, considering she'd lost it in Alaska (not that she had a real reason to bring it there - cell service was virtually non-existent that far north). Tana pressed the power button and waited for it to load up, amused when it greeted her with tinny chime and a full battery.

"...I still have service?" She looked at the phone and frowned. That... that seemed weird. Tana looked around, shrugged and fished through her contacts until she landed on her brother's name. She hit the send button and held it to her ear, waiting. It rang once, and picked up dead air.

"Figures." Well, at least it'd make a nice paperweight.


[Technically for Superman, but if you want to bother Tana, just drop me a line. :>]

Superman held back a chuckle at her reaction. No need to taunt the still confused woman. Even on accident.

"You should see the ones later on." he said, trying to make small talk. "Are you feeling alright, though? I'm... sure you've heard about what happened..."

Tana looked down at her lap for a second and nodded, "I think I'm as alright as someone expects to be when they learn everything they've known is gone. And also that they're dead."

She looked up and shrugged a bit. "But, I imagine it could be worse, so I think I'll be okay." She wasn't exactly a shrinking violet, after all. "I guess now I have to find a different niche than 'nosy reporter'." Tana smiled a little bit at Superman.

"I don't know. With everything going on around here, something like that might be useful." Superman said. Admittedly, if he could find a way around it? He'd be snooping around as Clark Kent. He would have to find a way to do so somehow.

"But, for now, I think it's best if you get settled in. That is, if you haven't already."

"Well, I guess if anyone needs a reason to be snooping around," which Tana doubted greatly. "Then they can just be pointed in my direction." Oh yeah, Kon was going to love that.

"As for settling in... does anyone actually do that here?" It was so alien and unnatural, that it seemed a little hard to process that at some point it would be as home to her as Hilo.

"Well... I think it's less 'settling down' and more 'try to relax'." Superman said. "There has been a lot happening since everyone started to be released, so trying to actually settle down is tough..."

"It is a lot to take in," Tana admitted. "The Kid gave me a CliffsNotes version, but I think I'll be doing a bit more digging to get the whole scoop." There were things he hadn't said, of course. There was always something he chose to keep her in the dark about, considering the Never-Ending Battle.

Well, it was her battle now, too. "Any advice for the newly-popped, Superman?"
