---

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    It was just another day on Knowhere. Loud noises. Strange aliens. And a presence not seen in these parts very often. The place was bustling. Chaotic. Not friendly to strangers, and dangerous to those not knowing how to mind their own business. Case in point.

    An emerald blur arrives in the vicinity, touching down outside the Burnout Pub. With a frown, Hal Jordan arrives, Green Lantern and law enforcement officer of the spaceways. Several mercenaries and n'er-do'wells vacate the area as soon as they see him, obviously suspicious, but not worthy of Hal's time.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala is sitting at the pub. She had left Earth, needing a little time to figure out how to really use her powers and not feel like a knucklehead when she messes them up. So she took the Sea Song, even if the Blue ring lets her travel without it. It's more of a security thing. Something familiar. An old alien ale that she's always appreciated is in her hand, and she wears fairly dressed down attire, a pair of pants with an old jacket. Nova Corps. The style is no longer issued. She sits, quietly minding her own business, as is the custom here, studying her ring when the Emerald knight lands outside the pub. Something about it, she can just tell he was coming. That's strange. She tilts her head to one side curiously, wondering what brought a Green Lantern out here. Was it something she should have noticed?

Silver Surfer has posed:
Silver Surfer is doing what he does almost all the time, right now, exploring. Moving from place to place, seeing the sights, trying not to be too intrusive into the various civilizations and to remain mostly unnoticed, mostly. At least, when he approaches Knowere on board of his silver board, he detects enough alien presences to deem shapeshifting as unnecessary, and so it is that a silver creature, on top of a silver board, floats down to land not too far from where the emerald knight just landed, the silver board vanishing as soon as the surfer touches down.

Beta Ray Bill has posed:
Beta Ray Bill rarely comes to pubs such as this, but....well, there is a time for everything. The cosmic warrior arrives in the pub, opening the door and likely making more than a few other people clear out. He notices the Green Lantern, and Beta Ray Bill gives Hal Jordan perhaps the smallest nod of respect towards his way.

Green Lanterns were the Corps that helped keep everything in balance. One who bears their emblem must be quite respectable indeed.

Then his eyes shift to the Nova Corps member, and as soon as Beta Ray Bill reaches the bar, he then pauses as the Surfer arrives. "The Surfer." Bill turns then, looking upon him. Perhaps once in the past, the Surfer was a herald for the World Eater. One must forgive him for treating the Silver Surfer with no small measure of caution.

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Walking towards the pub, Hal Jordan, Green Lantern watches as the "rats" scurry away from him. Looking them over, he dismisses them all with a quick glance, and moves forward, noticing someone familiar inside the bar as Beta Ray Bill nods towards him. Nuala. Nodding back at Bill, Hal heads towards her, wondering how her whole trial went. Last time he saw her was on Earth when the Nova Corps had come to get her.

    That was when a Gordanian walks past him, almost asking for it. Hal stops. Frowns, but ignores the alien. Not worth his time or effort...today.

    Due to that mini encounter, Hal notes the arrival of the Surfer. Hal takes a second, and changes direction. Towards the Herald. "Surfer. Good day. What brings you to these parts?" Maybe he was thinking the same thing Bill was.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala takes a sip of her ale, as if it was stronger than it really is. Her blue eyes lock on Hal's as he glances her way. To say she knows him would be an overstatement. She knows who he is at least, though. Yes, last time she saw him, she was being arrested. She doesn't seem to have any concern over the matter now, though, and the blue ring on her left hand indicates that she has had a few developments since their last meeting. Suzanne surely had some part to play in it. She glances past him toward the Silver Surfer, someone she was aware of, but only in reports, but for the moment doesn't respond to anyone.

Silver Surfer has posed:
Silver Surfer takes a few seconds to let his senses scan the wole area, and then he turns in the direction of the lantern that spoke to him, offering a polite bow in his direction "greetings, lantern, my respect goes to you" he says "I am merely here to visit the place, just for personal curiousity." he admits, still standing there, without moving a single step and trying to look as nonthreatening as two meters of silvery man could be.

Beta Ray Bill has posed:
Beta Ray Bill keeps his eyes upon the Silver Surfer. There have been many worlds that he has 'explored' that have fallen to Galactus. But he cannot hold forced servitude against the Surfer, and thus he doesn't. Instead, he approaches the surfer, Stormbreaker in his right hand, as he offers the Surfer his left. "So long as you do not come in hostility, you are welcome." He looks then to Hal Jordan. "Is there trouble here that should bring a Green Lantern, or are you off-duty?"

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    "Honor Guard Hal Jordan, Blue Lantern detected within detection area. Power at 125 percent."

    Hal Jordan, who was about to say something to the Surfer, blinks as his ring tells him that a Blue Lantern was present. His eyes scan the area, and they finally rest on Nuala. It appears that Nuala had changed since the last time he had seen her. It was just a guess though, but that appeared to be where the energy his ring picked up was coming from.

    Considering that, Hal turns back to the Surfer, and pauses before saying, "Thank you Surfer. My respects as well." Hal watches as several people stare at the Surfer. "Well, that is a relief. I am sure there are a lot of people here who are scared to death of what your arrival means. Curiousity is always a good thing as long as you are not a cat."

    As Bill approaches, Hal nods to him in greeting. "I am never off duty. Just here on a fact finding mission. Hoping someone I am looking for is here, but so far, nada. I'll keep looking though. Hal Jordan of Earth." Hal smiles, introducing himself.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala stands up, suddenly drinking the rest of her drink as if it was water. It's a weak ale, so it isn't quite such a feat. She tears her eyes away from the trio and walks back to the bar to pay her tab. Once done she looks back, considering Surfer for a long time, shifting attention back and forth. "Hmm," she comments to herself. "The Surfer. Here." Is this something she's supposed to respond to? The green doesn't seem as concerned. What does this do to the hope of people around? She glances around the bar, studying other people present before looking back out of the burnout pub.

    Her ring alerts her to the same fact, that she is currently boosting the power of Hal. It alarms her a little, and she stares down at the pulse of blue from her hand. Is she causing a problem? Possibly. She should probably ask someone about this. She shoves her hands into her pocket and glances at the door, taking the long way around. She glances at Hal one more time when she thinks he isn't focused on her, and then heads out of the door.

Silver Surfer has posed:
Silver Surfer offers a nod to the lantern, and a hand to beta ray Bill, a silvery hand that has the same temperature of his surroundings, so will probably resoult as not too warm. "I have no hostile intentions towards this place, nor any place, right now." he admits "and I definitely am not a cat so hopefully curiousity won't cause an untimely death..." and if his face was more defined, he would probably smile. Right now, only the intonation of his voice gives away the slight amusement in pronouncing the last part of the sentence.

Beta Ray Bill has posed:
Bill gives a smiple nod to Silver Surfer. "So it would appear." Then he looks to Hal Jordan. "Beta Ray Bill of Asgard." Though he was a Korbinite, his allegiance is ultimately to the Realm Eternal and King Thor. Though Bill tilts his head. "Who is it whom you search for? That I may have knowledge." After all it was not as if Bill was not respectable. But then his eyes shift over to Nuala, the Blue Lantern.

The Blue Lanterns he's not as familiar with, aside from they wield a blue light similar to the Lanterns, but based off of something else. Quite strange truly.

Either way, Bill seems to look back to Hal Jordan, awaiting his answer.

Green Lantern (Jordan) has posed:
    Hal covertly notes that Nuala sneaks away, and puts that away in his mind under "needs to check that out...later". After all, "War of the Light" issues have been creeping into his every waking moment. Looking back at the Surfer and Bill, Hal returns to the conversation after a brief moment of distraction.

    "I expect you would not, Surfer." Hal smiles. "As for being a cat, well...probably not." Hal chuckles then turns back to Bill. "Of Asgard? I know a few Asgardians and, well...nice to meet you." Hal cuts himself off. "Good question. I'm after a creep who wears a Yellow Ring of the Sinestro Corps. Arkillo. If you guys see him, let me know." Not sure how that could happen where they could contact him, Hal begins to float off the ground. "Just leave the details with the bar tender here. Al. He'll get it to me."
