{For those of you that would know it (which is, admittedly, not many) Booster has arrived on the Plane looking nostalgic. Why? He's wearing his JLI costume, complete with the disco collar.

Normally, this might be adorable, but Booster is feeling like a sailor today.}

#$%@^*&$*% ($%@+#!

#$#% ^$$*& *%)*%!!!

No, no! I just had the stupid thing, so why couldn't I at least bring it here--?! This damn place shouldn't matter because it's not even...Aw, hell I don't know.

{Booster runs a hand through his receding hairline hair, frowning sourly} Okay, I know we've got some time travelers here, so maybe you guys can help me out. I need to bring this...thing back from the past. I had a videotape in mind, but almost anything connected to this one guy would be fine. C'mon, help me out here. ...Please?

{He pauses for a moment, then adds} --Uh. Sorry about the language. I guess. We don't have any young kids here, do we? Not like Rani's age, anyways

((ooc: yo yo Booster has been updated to his current run #32/33/Generation Lost
and yes the "@#$&@*(#"s are profanity, but comics do this and it's adorable, so use your imagination.))

[thoughtfully] Is your universe merged with the Doctor's, by any chance?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Nah, it's not. But time travel can't be that different between universes, can it? I mean, basic rules like don't mess with history, and that kind of stuff.

notifs are late /again/ fff

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

Even the basic rules in our universe are complicated; there are fixed points in time, things that can't be changed, but the rest is always in flux. Do you know if the man you're attempting to take something from is part of an important historical event?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

I...don't think so. I mean it's just a recruiting tape for the League. We had to have had more than one copy.

I think.

[doctorsfanboy.livejournal.com]

[frowns] That's odd. What sort of device are you using to travel in time?

[shutupk9.livejournal.com]

[perks up!]

How far back and where is it?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

About twenty years, give or take a crisis, and it's in a place I used to work.

[shutupk9.livejournal.com]

Well where did you use to work? Twenty years is easy, but the universe is big. I'll need directions.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Directions? Oh are you...the Doctor? A Doctor? One of them mentioned that you guys can look different, and I don't remember meeting you before.

{He scratches his head again} But I used to work for the Justice League. Justice League International, so it would be in the headquarters. I was just there, but I couldn't bring the damn tape with me.

[shutupk9.livejournal.com]

The Doctor, thank you very much. And yes, we can 'look different'. It's called regeneration-you probably met one of my future selves. I'm fairly certain I'm one of the youngest here.

And what's a Justice League?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[at first she looks amused, before frowning thoughtfully] Depending on how far back you're going, you could ask me to make a copy.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

{Oh Barbara, Booster could kiss you. But then Ted might get mad, so better not. I mean what?}

It's the JLI recruitment tape. The one from the 80s that got Power Girl to join?

{He pauses before adding} Hey, you know who Maxwell Lord is, right?

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[oh Ted would just join in]

I should have access to that. [a slightly raised eyebrow] I know who everyone is, Booster.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

If you could get a copy of that, it would be great. More than great.

{He looks at Barbara, considering whether he should tell her. On one hand, he can almost hear Rip saying that he shouldn't mess up the timeline. On the other hand, he actually talked to her in his time and she didn't remember. Booster is bad at restraining himself on this kind of thing.}

Hey, listen...I know you're from a different time than me. So is Ted. But I already told Ted, so I might as well tell you. The reason I'm looking for that tape is because I need something, anything that proves that Maxwell Lord actually exists. Because he betrayed us, Barbara. All of us. He murdered Ted, and Wonder Woman killed him. But he's back. And he made everyone in the world but me, Fire, Ice, and Captain Atom forget that he ever existed.

[bodilesswarrior.livejournal.com]

[she just stares at him, for a moment, before shaking her head] He wouldn't be the first. Even without having been possessed twice, died, and turned into a cyborg. [...oh the world they live in]

It might not happen in my world, Booster - we could be from entirely different realities, too. But the tape should be the same. I assume we're hoping his influence doesn't extend to footage from the past?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

What exactly do you require from the past?

[SHE DOESN'T TRUST YOU]

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

A video tape. I just had it, but it didn't come with me. Not even to this place, which I figured wouldn't count because who the hell knows what this place even is.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

If it does not exist, how can anything be brought here? [:|] Why is it so important?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

What? No, it does exist, I went back in time to get it. I had it in my hands, but as soon as I tried to bring it here, poof, it's gone. {Dodging that second question, oh yeah}

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

But if our realities are false, can anything recovered in them be real? [stern face :|] You have not told me its import.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[bonus tag! just ... this face]

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Uh.

Okay little girl, all those words I just said? Those are "grown-up words." Make sure you don't say them around your parents. Or, you know what, just forget them all together.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[you know, she was just gonna chastise you for speaking so vulgarly, but now you've gone and insulted her, Booster, good job]

I am not a little girl, desu!

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

You're not? Are you a mid--little person?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

I'm a Rozen Maiden, desu!
