Star Shimmer has posed:
After the adventure in the city amd of course going and getting giving her ID to the bank, Autumn thought it best to head to the tower. Once there, she simply lands on the rooftop. No point in going in just yet. Its a nice day afterall." She stretches and gets comfortable. Without even a thought she makes a chair while flopping down. Then a violet fan forms and begins blowing away onto her. "Ahhh okay this is nice." She gets comfortable. "Still, I half expected Amarok to start howling about me causing a makeout party in the bronx." She mutters and reclines in the chair.

Still it was odd that one of the most prominant telepaths in the world was able to pick up on her. Then again, its not like she doesn't deal with the telepathy aspects of the ring. Whats more, something felt off. Its something she was familiar with but hadn't felt in a long time. Not since her last trip to Zamaron to be honest. Maybe it was just the aftermath of everything this afternoon. Its not like she had many meetings on any astral plains. So how was she supposed to know how it felt?"

Star Sapphire has posed:
The violet light of love has guided Carol Ferris across the galaxy and, today, it's bringing her home. But not directly home, not to Ferris Air and her luxury apartment. No, home is people and the first person she needs to check on is her protege. She's kept up in a distant way, offering empathic encouragement through their shared power, but it's not the same as actually being there.

And so a sparkling, violet warp manifests in the sky above, slowly rotating and showing glimpses of space beyond until Star Sapphire emerges from its depths, trailing light behind her, her dark hair catching the wind of Earth for the first time in a long time, "Surprise, darling." she says, her full lips curving in a smile.

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    Kian isn't guided by anything; he's just returning to the Tower after taking a leisurely turn around the area, or trying to memorize a few landmarks, or just flying for the sheer joy of it.
    Without thinking much about it -- let's face it, his mind is lightyears away -- he drops to the roof both silently and delicately, and only *then* notices he's not alone up there, and is surrounded by a lot off purple.  "Oh!" is all he says in some confusion, surrendering any chance he might have had to slip off unnoticed.

Star Shimmer has posed:
"Oh Hey Kian." Shimmer comments as suddenly, she doesn't just see, she feels the intensity in the air. She looks up and sees a familiar face. Her eyes light up, "STAR SAPPHIRE!!!" She jumps up and is practically jumping up and down. "Oh my gods! You're back! You're really here on Earth! WAIT Star Sapphire! Sorry Princess!" She quickly bows as she was taught to on Zamaron." I missed you so much!"

She glances over, "Oh Sorry Kian, this is one of my Mentors and Justice League Member, Star Sapphire. She's really awesome." SHe looks back at Carol and is smiling bright, "I still can't believe your back! I thought if you came back you'd be hunting down Green Lantern." She winks playfully knowing full well of her and Hal's relationship.

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire descends to the roof and offers Shimmer a huge, pulling her into an embrace and out of her bow, "I think we can do without standing on ceremony for the moment, hon. We're a long way from Zamaron," she smiles. "But yes, I am back. While I will still return there for duty on occasion, Earth is my home and I intend to make it so for the foreseeable future," she smiles.

At the mention of Gl, she quirks a smile, "I'm sure I'll catch up with him eventually. I doubt he even noticed I was gone. Kian, was it? It's a pleasure to meet you," she says to the other Titan.

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    "I, uh..." Kian says, a little overwhelmed and, as usual, confused.  He's only dimly aware of the Justice League as words he's heard.  He's never heard of Zamaron.  He only barely knows Star Shimmer, and Star Sapphire not at all.
    So when in doubt, resort to politeness.  He bows, spreading his wings slightly, and says in his soft, musical tones, "/Kie/, S'tar Sa'fyr."  Well, hopefully that's close enough.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Shimmer hugs Star tight. She's simply elated to have one of the few people who truly knows how crazy things get back on Earth. "Oh Right! Ummm Star Sapphire, This is Kian. He is hoping to become a Titan soon. I met him a few days ago after I got back from my trip to Titan. You know those people can't cook right?" She shudders. "It was so bad." She laughs.

"Oh I'm sure he noticed... Probably willed himself not to but, he likely noticed." She smiles a little. "You are back at a good time! I mean The way things have been going, I think I've been adapting to using my ring a lot more and I'm getting stronger with it. The problem is I'm also starting to get a little shaky. Like Earlier I stopped a gang battle between two gangs, I got em to stop... And accidentally got them to start making out!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire laughs softly and strokes a hand over Shimmer's hair, "Well, I can think of worse side effects. Some of them probably at least had fun. That said, it's probably just a matter of helping you keep focused. The elation of the ring's power can be intoxicating enough that you tend to bleed. You know that, of course, but I've learned numerous techniques of meditation and balance back on Zamaron that can help you have even further control. In the meantime...try not to judge yourself too harshly? Compassion for yourself is just as important as compassion for others," she says.

To Kian, she smiles, pressing her hands together and giving him a half-bow of diplomatic greeting. "I wish you luck in your quest to become a Titan, then. Making new friends is always good."

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    "Well, the pizza is nice," Kian offers, a little dubiously.  "I have learned to avoid the ones Kori likes, of course."
    He tilts his head inquisitively at Star Sapphire.  "Quest?"  He shakes his head once.  "It is a place I can be, and maybe be helpful... I don't know about more than that.  The friends help."
    He thinks a moment about Colette's efforts to get him to use his abilities offensively, and adds, "Well, mostly."

Star Shimmer has posed:
"She means that not everyone with abilities becomes a Titan. Its a challenge. I almost didn't get in. Though I did take apart one of the of their trainer communicators. They said it had C-4 in it and I couldn't exactly allow for C-4 to blow up. Here it was just a little C-4 That would have only blown the communicator if I failed. It was fun. I am kinda pissed at Amarok still. To test me for the Titans he stole my battery!" She shakes her head.

Turning back to Star, she smiles happily, "I am super happy you are back though. Handling the Sector myself was kinda stressful. I didn't cause any wars or anything but, it was still a challenge." She idly makes another two chairs, "You may sit if you like. Trust me, I make comfy chairs!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire smiles and takes one of the offered seats, "I'm sure you'll do fine," she says to Kian. "Your heart seems to be in the right place." And she wouldknow.

"This is a nice construct. Good balance," she says, resting her weight in the chair. "Yes, this particular sector seems overactive all around. I know the Greens are overstocking the place, seems only natural that we should do the same. Earth, for better or worse, seems to be something of an intergalactic crossroads."

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    "In the right...?"  Kian places his hand on his chest, feeling for the beat.  "No, my heart is where it has always been.  I would worry if it had moved."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Autumn smiles at Kian, "Its an Earth saying. It means you have good intentions by wanting to be a Titan. To be in the right heart, She's saying your desires are right. It doesn't mean your heart moved. That would be kinda bad.

She smiles a little. "Thank you. I've been practicing. Its been a challenge but I think I am getting better with them." SHe snickers, "So today I ummm got pulled into an Astral Plane? You know like whole Out of body experience thing? I was kinda lamenting the whole accidentally causing a makeout session between two rival gangs. Next thing I know I have someone in my head. Its cool though. Here it was one of the most powerful telepaths on the planet and they offered to help me with more control techniques and stuff! It was pretty cool. Also... I now have a few thousand in a new bank account. That was shocking..."

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire raises an eyebrow, "That does sound shocking. I confess, I'm a little wary about such a fairy godfather springing up out of nowhere, but I trust your judgment. Just be careful, my dear. And if you have need of money, well, now that I'm back on Earth, I'm sure I could set up some sort of stipend or trust to help you out further. You've been through so much, you deserve a chance to thrive the way you were meant to thrive," she says.

Kian's literalism makes her smile, reminding her as it does of some of her alien friends back in space.

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    Kian blinks once, and says blankly, "Oh," with the look of someone filing a fact away against future need.
    He smiles just a little.  Sharing your mind with friends and family is..."  He trails off, and looks into the sky.  "...nice," he finishes, not really having the proper words.  English doesn't really have them.

Star Shimmer has posed:
Star Shimmer looks at Star Sapphire and nods, "I totally understand and I wouldn't have believed this as too good to be true seldom happens and seldom without some sort of hook. That wasn't the case. The guy apparently runs some private school. He just asked to learn about space and stuff and maybe try some of the different foods out there sometime. Apparently he helps a lot of people. He was very polite and genuinely seemed to care about me. I didn't feel anything deceptive about him at all." She smiles.

Then with a glance to Kian, she smiles, "Hey you know, if you don't know the english for something you can speak it in your language. Our rings don't just translate us for you, It translates you for us too!"

Star Sapphire has posed:
Star Sapphire smiles, "I'm glad. Perhaps I'll get a chance to meet him at some point," she says. "And I can definitely get a sampling of some alien food if he would like."

"I'm sure I'll get settled in quickly enough. I left the company in trust until I returned. I hope my house isn't too dusty."

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    Kian shakes his head once.  "I should learn the local language better.  Not everyone has a translator, or is willing to let me touch their mind.  Earth people are strange that way..."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Star Shimmer smiles, "It will come with time." She gives a wave to the other Violet Lantern as she heads off. "I'd be worried that my house was intact the way things go here sometimes. Still this is great! My Mentor is back!" She laughs and pumps her fist in the air. "She knows how to teleport. I dunno how to do that one."

Kian t'Kaeh has posed:
    "You're lucky to have a teacher," Kian comments.  "I still don't understand my powers.  They say they can teach me about them here... but I'm not sure I really want to learn to use them.  They..."  He bites his lower lip, and then admits, "They scare me."

Star Shimmer has posed:
Shimmmer stands and floats over to Kian. Gently she reaches out and gently touches his shoulder. "Hey, I get being afraid of your powers. I don't know what you can do but I can tell you this much. If you don't learn to use your powers safely, you risk those fears being real. I understand being afraid of what you can do, The only person who who I know who could be more guarded about her powers is Raven. Still she knows how to use them so she doesn't lose control. She knows how to keep her fears from being a reality. I am still learning how to control my powers. I could cause so much trouble if I lost control But... I'm learning to control it. The more you learn, the less likely you are to mess up. Plus remember, They are YOUR powers at the end of the day. YOU have final say how they are used. Give the Titans a chance. We all are learning and growing, becoming who we wish to be. You have the chance to do the same thing. Don't pass it up! Now I need to go get some dinner. I've not eaten since yesterday!" With that she lifts off and rockets off in a streak of violet light.
