*listens with mild intrest as he attempts to work out how he's going to miss the rocks when he returns to his own time... he was begining to think that jumping off the cliff to escape that Ravenous Captain hut was not such a bright Idea after all... he takes another drink then glances at the musket on the bar...... and smiles...*

Hehehehe...it's embarassing actually. A few generations ago, a man from the house of El ranted on and on in a public place all about why he was real, and how everyone was a hypocrite for denying it. The force had to come and restrain him, and he was institutionalized. Not that institutionalizing is uncommon, but what a strange way to go hm?
The most recent was my great grand father Chez, he collected a third of all the world's kryptonite and hid it somewhere. They institutionalized him when he would not expose its location. My family to this day doesn't know where it is. He still won't tell us now that he's finished his term.

*Luke listens, a stupid but geninuely interested grin on his face* Huh. That's interesting. Are you gonna be the one to find it? Solve the mystery? *says sarcastically, but he mostly means it*

:::Cora laughs at Luke's comment::: Me! Hehehehe.... I am hardly one of the more notorious Kal-hunters of my time. No, I do not imagine myself discovering the 'holy grail' as the people of your time would call it.
:::and then to Cross::: Let it stay hidden. The stuff gives me a rash anyway :::she smirks, and takes a sip of her wine:::

*Luke smirks at her* You're backing down from a challenge. *He shrugs and sits back* Could be fun. Going after it. If only for kicks, you know.

:::her smile fades a bit:::
I do not need to draw any more attention to myself in my time. The more time I spend at the brink, the more obvious it has become to my peers and leaders that I am not the same person. They are becoming suspicious of my emotive behavior. I have been very cautious not to give myself away when I return to my time, and it makes the moments spent there that much more tiring.

*Luke frowns* Why aren't you allowed to show "emotion"? Is the future run by robots or something?

:::She can't help but laugh at that one::: No! haha, of course not. Machines are entirely submissive...what a silly idea. Anyway...emotion is plenty common in my time, but not from an officer. Let alone a first rank officer. We are to be very solitary, and very reserved. A manner that demands respect and obidience from the civilians. I do not wish to lose my livelihood. I have sacrificed too much to lose my job as an officer.

*Luke's glad he made he laugh initially...It was worth being off base.*
*He listens, looking at her with a smirk and raised eyebrow.*
Whatever... You may be a first rank officer where you come from. But here.... you dress like a gansta, you drink wine, you play drinking games, you spy on people porking each other in the library.....
You're a rebel. That's all there is to it.

:::porking?:::
:::She can't hold back the smile:::
Yes, I have had many good times here. But a rebel...? the same people we institutionalize? 5th Greatest Grandfather Zbig was right, I'm a hypocrite. :::She sipped her wine:::
Luke, what does 'porking' mean?

*Luke has a moment where he lets out a loud bout of laughter.*
Christ, Slim.
*He just shakes his head and pours himself a glass of wine.* How bout this... You do some research on that planet of yours. You get back, and tell me what you think it means. And then, I'll tell you if you're right or not. That's your homework.

:::She was a little insulted that he would say that about her favorite place in the world:::
What, you do not enjoy it...? :::she thinks::: but then again, your world must be so much more liberal than mine. Would you not want to be here if you had to live the way I explained? I have a feeling I don't know half of what I have been missing.
