[Filtered to the other Barge Teenagers/Young Adults]

[Luther's had a lot of stuff to think about after port ended, and he's spent a lot of time holed up in his room not interacting with anyone else, which... isn't really saying much, but he's still less around than he usually might be.]

How far did you get in school, before you came here?

[He's not sure he really wants to talk about this with anyone, but he still wants to know, maybe get an idea of what other people were planning on doing when they got back. If they ever did. If he ever did, or if he even wanted to.]

[Private to Steph]

[He's been sitting on this one for a long time, because it's a weird thing to feel responsible for something that he knew, really knew wasn't his fault, but he knows he needs to say something, so he ends up sort of blurting it out, almost like he just wants to get it over with.]

Look, I'm sorry about what happened. In port. [Like she wouldn't know what he's talking about, I mean really.]

That wasn't me. I wouldn't- [He cuts himself off quickly, wanting to just say what he has to say and pretend like none of this had ever happened.] I'm sorry.

What kind of guild?

[knowsaboutanger]

Depends on your family and your preferences. There were War guilds for people like the house of Zod, Science guilds for my Aunt Lara's people...

And Science guild. Most of my family belonged to it. It's more complicated than that though.

[prayformefather]

Why?

[knowsaboutanger]

Because each Guild has also their- uh, dialect I guess. Their own way of speaking Kryptonian.

You only speak unguilded Kryptonian to kids or mixed crowds. English is really easy in comparison- no offense meant.

[prayformefather]

That seems really unnecessarily complicated. No offense.

[knowsaboutanger]

None taken, but it's not as complicated when you grow used to it. And it definitely helped me- I learned English in like, a week.

[Not an exaggeration either, but she fails to mention her memory powers had a lot to do with that.]

Why were you asking about school, though?

[prayformefather]

Just curious.

[knowsaboutanger]

Can I ask you something now?

[prayformefather]

Sure.

[knowsaboutanger]

I know your name is Luther from when we first met over the network. I know a guy named Luther was the one who threw my friend Steph under the bus last port.

My question is, was it you?

[prayformefather]

No, it wasn't. I fell overboard. That person wasn't me.

[knowsaboutanger]

So it was you. I've been told you 'feel overboard' but I still don't get what that truly means.

[prayformefather]

It means I didn't have any control over what I was doing, so you can save the death threats and lectures.

[knowsaboutanger]

Man, no. It would be hypocritical of me to do that. All I want to know if how to stop that from happening again.

And how to stop it from happening to me.
