[--oookay, not the name change yet then.] Don't tell me he's been talking about me. You're right though, I'm Traci. Sorry for the mix-up with the names.

[toohottohandle]

He mentioned you a few times. [Eddie smiles.] Don't worry about it, I get it all the time. You can call me Eddie though.

[urbanmagic]

Same with you. [Paco makes fun of him for it too.] I hope they're nothing embarrassing.

[toohottohandle]

He's talked about me too? [This makes Eddie grin.] Nothing embarrassing about you.

[urbanmagic]

Plenty. I know you two are good friends, and I've been wanting to meet you for a long time.

[toohottohandle]

You wanted to meet me? [Color Eddie surprised.] Well, here I am. Wherever here is.

[urbanmagic]

I heard good things about you. Besides, a friend of Blue's is a friend of mine as far as I'm concerned.

Well, here would be a giant turtle. Possibly the limbo, but no one seems to believe that.

[toohottohandle]

[Eddie couldn't get the grin off his face if he tried. This is all great news to him.]

It doesn't seem very limbo-y. There's too much going on.

[urbanmagic]

It's something, that's for sure. I can feel it in the air, but I can't pinpoint what's exactly up with this place.

[toohottohandle]

[Eddie frowns and closes his eyes. For a few moments, he's quiet and concentrating as if trying to feel if there's anything up himself. His ears twitch a little and...he sighs, shoulders slumping. Nope, no power like that.]

Is Beetle here too? Or the other Titans?

[urbanmagic]

I'm actually not sure who the members of your team are, honestly. I heard there's a Robin here, I'm just not sure if he's yours.

Superboy and Supergirl too, just uh... not the same ones I think.

[toohottohandle]

There's more than one Robin? And more than one Superboy and Supergirl?

[urbanmagic]

It's a really long story, but yeah there's probably more than one of them. Well, not Superboy, but like I said-- long story.

[toohottohandle]

Is there a clip notes version of the story?

[urbanmagic]

Don't know about Robin, you're better off asking the guy yourself. Supergirl's not from our universe and I'm pretty sure Superboy's younger than what I last remember.

[toohottohandle]

Time travel and alternate universes? What did I wake up in? [He shakes his head.] Well, could bee worse.

[urbanmagic]

Not in. On. We're floating about the world on a giant turtle. Neat, huh?

[toohottohandle]

You mean this really is a giant turtle we're on and not just something those guys made up?

[urbanmagic]

I can lead you to the top of its head if you want. You'd be able to see the turtle part better that way.

[toohottohandle]

Hey, I can't say no to a guided tour. [He grins and blows a quick puff of smoke into the air to lower his temperature before offering an arm.]

[urbanmagic]

[She has no qualms against linking arms at least. She's already counted this as friendship.] Let me polish up my guiding skills as we take the grand tour then.

Don't hesitate to ask things on the way either. I'm in the mood to talk.

[toohottohandle]

That's good, I'm feeling chatty too.

So how long have you been here?

[urbanmagic]

A few weeks, give or take. I heard some guys have been here for months, which uh-- probably isn't the most reassuring thing to hear. It's not so bad so far, despite it all.

[toohottohandle]

That's pretty much the opposite of reassuring.

[He frowns, tail flicking a bit behind him.]

What's there to do around here?

[urbanmagic]

Considering none of them seem to be going crazy, it's better than nothing.

[Oh. Uh.] Define that. There's plenty of things you can do, but you're probably asking for something more specific, right?
