Astrophobia

[Jonathan Crane, PhD, scans the Plane with bespectacled eyes in his very nice suit. To all appearances, the Plane has just won itself a new university professor]

Acrophobia would hardly be an irrational fear at present. Indeed, it would be very [takes a step] very [another step] practical. This is possibly one of the very few instances in a normal individual’s life where siderophobia might be considered rational as well. And so they would cease to be phobias.

Incongruous but coherent structure... far too lucid to be any breed of hallucination or dream. The idea of it being true space is out of the question, of course.

[picks up a discarded hat, examining it] The two most likely options are thus illusion or reality. I wonder which it is. [sets the hat down again and carries on his way]

[your response? he sees that. HMMMMMM--]

Between that and the teaching job, I barely have a moment to myself. I'm told that staying here will help that, though.

[Being on meds would hamper being a crazy dictator, okay?]

Yeah, I get a lot of work done here.

[not if they're meds designed to increase paranoia and aggression. Then it would help!]

School work, I assume?

Of course. I can't fall behind on my studies, can I?

I've always wondered how our teenaged superheroes managed their education against their world-saving.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

Maybe something like this is the answer.

[amused] I'll feel fortunate if I come across the Boy Wonder doing his school work here.

... Boy Wonder?

Ahh, that's Robin, one of Gotham's local superheroes.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

[Snerk. Must not laugh. He knows vaguely who Robin is.]

Ah. Is he really that wonderful?

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

He is able to endure the Bat for long periods of time. That's rather impressive.

I'll have to take your word for it.
