Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Green Lantern (Jordan), Zatanna Zatara




Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Another day, another mission monitor duty. Hal Jordan is sitting in the chair in front of the monitors with his feet up on the console, using his ring to create two kinghts charging towards each other in a joust. Distracted, he doesn't seem to hear anyone else arrive at this time. Frowing as the green knight defeats the green knight, Hal sighs loudly, pushes himself back from the console, and twirls the chair around in a circle. "Man, why do I always seem to get the boring shifts?" Hal muses to himself out loud.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara found herself in the Watchtower to finish up some business from last time. Walking down the corridor she glanced into the monitor room and heard Hal's frustration. A smile curls on her lips. "Well... you know it could be absolute chaos. Then wouldn't you be sorry for not appreciating the quiet times like you ought to?" She winks at him as she pauses to stand in the door way. "It's not that bad is it, Hal?"

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Hal almost jumps out of his skin as Zatanna arrives. Hal blinks, stands up suddenly, and rubs the back of his head with a sheepish expression on his face. Hal is currently maskless, so his eyes reflect his discomfort in a humbling grimace. "Zatanna! Didn't know you were on board. Heh. Sorry, I was a bit distracted..." Hal smiles and continues, "Yeah, true. It could be insane, or we could have an alien invasion, or Brainiac, or a new monster or villain. Very true."

    Hal ignores Zee saying the "Q" word. "And no, it isn't THAT bad." Hal grins. "So what brings you up to geosynchronous orbit at this time of day?"

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara laughs. "Sorry. I 'ported in from Monaco. Just finished a charity even and needed to take care of some things here after." She walks in to stand closer. "Nothing big, just paperwork." She makes a face. "Even with all the tech we have, we still can't get right of paperwork."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    "Ah! Interesting." Hal Jordan nods and smiles, "Paperwork huh? Yeah. I know what you mean. It seems to be everywhere and never goes away." Hal chuckles. "I have the most power tool in the Universe at my disposal, and you have magic, and we can't seem to escape it." Hal leans against the console, sets off some kind of "BEEP!" sound, stands up straight again, and says, "Man, I'm like Barry today. I'm all kinds of clutz." Hal shakes his head.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara laughs. "Powers and abilities are no match for red tape I guess." She then shakes her head, "Careful. You'll have Batman in here glowering at you in three seconds flat if you keep it up.."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Hal Jordan joins Zatanna in a laugh. "Yeah, red tape is more evil than Darkseid, Brainiac, and Mordru put together." His laugh turns into a grin. "Yeah, I can handle Bats. He's a pussy cat deep down." Hal adds, "After all, anyone who dresses like a bat MUST have a sense of humor somewhere deep down." Hal takes a look around, just to make sure Bats wasn't hiding in the darkness somewhere.

    "So, what's new Zee? Haven't seen you since the party a few weeks ago. Got anything going on that you need help with, or just same old same old? Top hats, rabbits, and stuff?"

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara eyes Hal. "I'm not sure I'd ever consider him a pussy cat, Hal. Ever" she repeats, shaking her head in amusement. "Also not sure there's much humor there. But he could just have an amazing poker face?" She shrugs, "Who knows?" Then she nods. "A few shows around the world I've needed to step away for but nothing too complicated. It just keeps me busy most of the time. Other than having to banish a spirit back to its proper realm in the basement of a book store a week ago. Thing sprouted tentacles everywhere and almost devoured several of the customers. Talk about bad for business.."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    "Well, maybe not a pussy cat..." Hal leaves it there, mischief dancing in his eyes. "We tend to spar a bit." Hal sees Zatanna's expression, and adds, "With words of course. Heh. I'd never go hand to hand with him. No, ring to hand, maybe." Hal chuckles and places his hands on his hips.

    "I think you are right. Poker face. I think you have it. He's laughing on the inside." Hal pauses, as though considering. "I think he's got a sense of humour, it's just pretty dark."

    "Tentacles..." Hal shivers a bit, remember a video he saw recently of some demonic creature on the "Scooby" side of things. "Yeah, sounds like a bad time indeed. Huh." Hal would rather not go there. "Must be same old for you huh?"

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara shakes her head, "Laughing on the inside? Great.. now I'm just going to imagine him as a sad faced clown. He's going to kill me whenever I look at him and can't stop giggling like a lunatic!" she laments. Then she grins and nods. "Yeah. It was kind of messy but nothing I couldn't handle. An old occult book had a carelessly kept sigil left hidden between its pages. A woman read it and opened the portal. Luckily I was there to send it back and close the portal. It could have been very bad."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    "Now that is an image...Batman, a sad faced clown." Hal laughs. "I can picture it now. Everytime Bats turns those eyes and that expression on you and you start giggling. Oh, that I gotta see." Hal chuckles. "He'll probably kill us both, because I'll be chuckling as well." Hal shakes his head, trying to banish the thought.

    "Portals can be bad. Good thing you were there to take care of it. Who knows what could have happened. Well done!" Hal nods and adds, "Everyone was okay? The girl wasn't killed...or worse?" Hal looks at her hoping everything worked out.

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara shakes her head, laughing lightly at the whole notion. "It'll end poorly for the both of us."

Then she nods, "Yeah. Bad Things(tm) all sent back where they belong. All humans saved and kept intact if a little traumatized. Can't help that, really. Pandora. Box. You know how that goes."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    "I think so." Hal Jordan chuckles again. It would end bad for both of them..."That's great Zee! I am glad it worked out." Hal smiles, and says, "Nothing too scary on my end. Same old same old. Space Sector patrols. Defeat a few bad guys here and there, lock them up, mission monitor duty, etc." Hal grins. "My shift is almost over though...are you on next? I didn't check the list."

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara shrugs, waving a hand. "I do that kind of thing all the time. It's honestly like getting someone's cat out of a tree for you. I don't want to be cocky, of course. Never underestimate the confrontational nature of a treed cat. Or the tree. But still. It's kind of routine I guess I mean." She shakes her head, "Not my turn. I think it's Superman. But... not sure. Regardless, I should get going. Need to work on a few new tricks for my next performance."

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Hal Jordan nods. "I'll have to remember that. Treed cat, beware. And the tree. No doubt, I have met some sentient trees that have a bad temper. Wooden personalities, but bad tempers." Hal smiles. "Yeah, Supes will probably be on time. He is punctual most of the time...at least in my experience." Hal adds, "No problem! I understand. Good luck with the performance!" Hal nods amicably, and turns to check the console and screens. Nothing. Looking over his shoulder, he says, "Nice chatting with you! Be safe out there!"

Zatanna Zatara has posed:
Zatanna Zatara winks. "You know it! trees are evil!" she turns with a wave. "Take care GL." She then slips into the hallway again and disappears.
