AUDIO: Whoops.

[kingtyrantranger]

[Whoops. That'd been a thing for a while.

His voice snaps onto the omnicomm, filled with good humor. Jason's still not comfortable with the omnicomm's video function, especially since he's still having to dot his face with anti-fungal cream.]

I'm gonna start this off with a warning. Doublecheck to be sure that the mail you're opening is actually yours. I had to figure that out when I accidentally picked up something meant for Brainiac 5. The good news is that I'm now out of quarantine and the med techs are pretty sure I'm not going to grow any more mushrooms.

Thanks, guys. I don't know if I can look at a pizza the same way again, though.

[He'd spent most of the past few weeks trying to learn the Interlac alphabet on his own, without the earpieces translating for him. Might keep those mix-ups from happening again.

His voice takes on a wry tone, almost apologetic.]

So it sounds like I missed some action and a few new romances. Sorry about that, gang. For the new guys I missed, hey. I'm Jason, from Angel Grove, California, and I don't really do anything exciting. Nice to meet you all.

Comments

Sup Jason, I'm Grif. And unfortunately, doing exciting things is kind of mandatory around here.

[Grif seems to be relaxing somewhere sunny with his omnicomm way too close to his face for more detail to be made out. He's gone with video, apparently.]

It sucks but hey, what are you gonna do?

[leverageintceo]

Is stealing mail still a crime?

[Parker seems genuinely interested in the answer.]

Because apparently it totally is where I'm from! Isn't that weird?

[ringslinging]

[ The wince in Hal's voice is almost audible. ]

Oh. I think I remember those. I assume they already told you not to scratch.

[ Stories from Hal Jordan's rookie days that are best left untold: this one. ]

Hal, Coast City, California.

[mirror_soldier]

That seems like a rather dire mistake for them to make.

[Why yes, he is just going to ignore that comment about new romances.]

[Alexander had just gotten one of the Legion tech staff to show him how this damnable device worked, and in the spirit of jolly cooperation, he decided to use it to get to know his fellow Legionnaires. Besides, responding to Jason's message would be good practice in using his new omnicomm.]

Greetings, Jason. I am Alexander of Astora, recently joined to the Legion. I am pleased to make your acquaintance...much as it were.

[The idea of leaving messages for someone else to receive at a later time wasn't entirely odd to him, it was mostly just the way it was recorded that still left him a bit confused.]

Mushrooms are indeed quite dangerous. In my world, there are some that are animate and quite irate most of the time. I was once punched back several meters by one.

[A pause.]

Elizabeth was quite pleasant, though. Quite well spoken, too, as mushrooms go.

[Lordran was a strange place.]

[deafleppard]

sorry but i gotta ask

mushrooms?

[wherenoonegoes]

...that's one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of, and I've eaten regurgitated raw fish.
