[He's in space. ...Well, from the looks of it, he's in space, not in a contained suit, and he's not asphyxiating. Something odd is going on here. Also, space does not look much at all like Chicago.] ....Huh. Well, this is definitely interesting.

[Ted peers around interestedly, and blinks a bit when he notices -- well, buildings. In space. Fun!] So. Coliseum, a weird metal building --are those hotsprings? Either I've ended up in an episode of Star Trek or a holodeck or something, or I've ...magically switched worlds while trying to find the Bug. Oh well. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

[But he's on his guard, now -- what with all that's been happening back home, Booster almost getting killed, he can't be too careful.] So. Anyone wanna tell me where I've ended up? Or, alternatively, what the hell happened to Chicago? I'm not picky. ...As long as you don't try to kill me. Had enough of that lately.

Welcome.

So, as you've probably figured out, this is like an interdimensional space bar. With less hot chicks. And less green skinned alien babes. But there's a hot vampire babe. And some crazy people, too.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

I can see that. No worries, I'm used to crazy people.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Awesome. You'll fit right in.

You got a name? I'm Ikki Minami, the motherfucking Storm King.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

Figured as much.

Ted Kord. Uh. Blue Beetle, when I'm in this suit.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Nice to meetcha.

I don't suppose "Ted" is a name that would strike fear into your enemies.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. ...Though I guess I could be an enchanter or something. But then I would have to change my name to Tim. And speak with a Scottish accent.

[blank stare

American movies are one thing. But uh. Ikki does not know shit about British things.

Oh wait, he knows who James Bond is.

THAT'S IT.]

[And Ted facepalms a little. Oy, kids these days...]

Oh, come on. Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. But I'm from Japan, so that could be why.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I think I'm gonna need to fix that. Monty Python is a British comedy group.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

So what, they sit around and make jokes about tea?

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. They're kind of hard to explain.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Then bring a DVD or something to the Plane and I'll be able to understand it.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

Maybe I will. Need to look around and find one, first of all.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

You mean superheroes can't find a movie at the store, too?

There is no justice in the world!

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

See, problem is -- technically, back home, I'm supposed to be dead. And I did have DVDs at my house, but my house just exploded. So.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Whoops.

That's cool. I can wait.

[bwahahabeetle.livejournal.com]

Great. I promise, as soon as I get things straightened out I'll find some.
