So it seems a lot of people here end up coming from the same world, or running into people they know, but so far I've seen nothing but strangers, and some of you have never even heard of Metropolis, Kansas.

Is there anyone out there who knows who the Luthors are, at least?

Back home, I was investigating my cousin's murder, and looking for information on Lionel Luthor is how I ended up in here in the first place.  I don't really like the idea of going home some day empty handed.

And on a totally different note, I'm going stir-crazy.  Anyone out there up for going out to try to find some entertainment?

That might make a good action flick, but it really doesn't have much to do with the Luthors I'm talking about. Other than the name.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh. Sorry, maybe I got them wrong...I just didn't think Luthor was a common name. Especially Lex Luthor. I mean, what are the odds you have the same name as a comic book villain? Freaky!

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I don't know, does he live in Smallville and work for Luthorcorp?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uh...Yeah, actually.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Someone wrote Lex Luthor into a comic book?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah! He's one of the neatest bad guys not from a Batman comic! They even made him president at some point!

I dunno, maybe your Lex was somehow an inspiration that got out of control in the comic world?

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Now there's a frightening thought.

I know he's popular with the tabloids, at least. Maybe you're on to something.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Huh. Maybe I am...anyway, I don't think there's any Luthor's here.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Was he a friend of yours back home?

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Lionel Luthor killed my cousin. So short answer: no.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

...I'm sorry...

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I'm working on finding proof, at least.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It'll be sort of hard to do that here, I'm afraid...

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I'm getting that vibe.

Didn't get your name, by the way.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm Hanna. Hanna Cross.

What's yours?

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Lois. Lois Lane.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Uhhh...his brain just broke.

...rebooting now.]

Really? Cool. Nice to meet you.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

So how long have you been stuck here?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Since March. You?

[Part of him is still stuck in the 'HOLY CRAP THIS IS LOIS LANE SUPERMAN'S LADY PAL LOIS.]

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Just this last month. Which is long enough.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry you're stuck here...If there was a way out, believe me, somebody would've told you by this point.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I just found out that I won't even remember any of it when I leave.

Which means I guess I should start actually trying to get the hang of this place instead of spending all my time trying to leave it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Try to enjoy the good days, yeah!

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I've got a hard time thinking of these as the 'good' ones.
