Mario had silently approached and gotten onto a tree trunk overlooking the campfire. "Oh thank god I got it right this time, the last three campfires I flash stepped into were very rude." Mario looks around and notices he was one of the few to have arrives a fact he finds disappointing.
"So they told me to come here for dinner instead of loafing around the office, pssh as if I loaf anymore right? Been working my ass off even more lately." Mario looks at the few people there as his voice grows softer yet more serious. "So were the only ones who showed?"

Cassidy helps himself to a small bowl of chili. Finding a rock to sit on, he blows on the chili watching the steam rise from the hot beans and beef.
"Had a hard time finding the place eh? It took me a minute as well, though I dont think I disturbed that many people in my search." Pausing for a moment, Cassidy takes a huge spoonful of chili and chows down on it. "You know Fred," pausing to swallow, "this stuff is pretty tasty. Then again, everything tastes better when your camping."
Setting the bowl in his lap, Cassidy continues in a softer tone, "I guess everyone else is busy. I keep thinking that I am seeing glimpses of Della, but its like she never fully materializes... How you guys doing?"

"Eh more or less the same, been busier recently guess that is why no one else showed huh?" Mario puts one foot on the trunk and sticks it there with chakra as he leans down fully to grab a bowl himself and begins eating once he is back up on the treetop.

"Showoff." Cassidy ports into the tree next to Mario and tries to swipe his food away. "Food is for the ground-bound!" Cassidy shouts ridiculously with a playful grin.

mimicking Freds voice. "Ahhh dick" as he tucks the chili bowl under his arm as if it were a football, careful not to spill it. Using the motion of his tucking the chili bowl to create speed clones making it appear as if more is holding multiple bowls of chili!

"I knew you would do something like that!" Using Mass Relay, each of the clones/Mario get sucked into portals and spit out in a singular location: three feet above the camp fire. Cassidy cackles and launches himself at the exit location crying, "Your chili will be mine!"

OOG: Great line, Mario.
Fred says, "Well, training under numerous geniuses in their fields and eating at the best restaurants in the world DOES help." He looks about. Joe, Cory, Mario, Cassidy, himself... Not a bad showing, not bad at all. "As far as the loafing goes, we DID get a 'No Loafing' sign from Strong Badia. And these retreats are important for synergy, and effectiveness-efficiency intersections, and the bursting waters..."
He then becomes more quiet, more solemn. "Man, I swear, if I keep losing friends, I may just quit this whole thing."

Mario uses his keyblades close rift to seal the portals. Marios sharingan watching every move of cassidys to defend from his next move. "Yeah you ain't the only one Fred, but quitting wont bring em back its the world man all this power went messing with everyones head."
"We got godly powers but most of us don't have real motivation. Yeah we fight the arcana but why? Do I fight them because I think they should be stopped or because you do it and I followed you? Hell I might even do it because I just like fighting but if that's the case why do I like fighting and why them? I don't know I think everyone is having these problems not just me even if they don't say anything."
Marios voice is light hearted again. "We cannot quit now though, because if we don't do it who will? Feickert? Black? Joe? No offense but I doubt it not without a litter of bodies."

There's a bit of an awkward silence. Then there's some breaking of twigs. An attractive, tall woman with a pleasantly angular face strides into camp carrying a casserole. "Ummmmm... I brought a smoked pork and macaroni and cheese casserole?"
Behind her is an even taller, reddish-haired man who still somehow feels like a very young boy. "H-h-hey guys", he says quietly, yet still loudly enough for everyone to hear.
An old man with an obvious limp walks alongside him. "Dammit, Redfox, you can talk louder than a mouse shittin' in the woods! And dammit, Panda, have some goddamn respect!" Panda holds onto a large pot of beef stew. He growls, "It's the Panda Racin' Charge Hot Sauce Special."

I'm going to fly over and land then say "Sorry I'm late guys, had to back up some GLs in sector 1417, but uh... Brought some Smore stuff."

Kevin does so indeed.
Fred says, "So, Kevin, we weren't able to adventure too much together. What were you doing before?"
OOG: This lets you define some of your background, within reason of course.

OOG: Of course
"Well after the ring chose me I went to Oa for a year for training, my predictor was killed in the Sinestro wars, I can only assume the ring was headed back to it's sector but found me before it did. Anyway, after a year with Chief Lantern Instructor Kilowog I went to sector 650, where my rings last master was stationed, the reason is that we didn't loose and 2814 Lanterns and having three in one sector seemed redundant. I handled the easier stuff, and my sector partner did most of the harder tasks, he was many years my senior. After a while a new 650 Lantern was chosen and he became Ash's new partner. The Guardians had me posted on Oa for a while after that, I didn't see a whole lot of action just a few missions here and there, backing people up when things got too hot in their sector. I had some shore leave coming my way for a long time, so I came home, but you can imagine my surprise to fin things in their state of... disarray. I spent the rest of my time, up till now, doing the solo hero gig, stamping out street crime to give the big names some breathing room, Salaak still sends me assignments to help back some people up every now and again, but sector 2814 is much more active now than it ever was before, so three lanterns isn't over kill anymore."

yeah, I fought everything from your generic muscle bound war lord to a little psycho children who subscribe to the philosophy of Kamikaze. But more than that I was a peace keeper, I had my fair share of political disputes to untie, and even had archive duty more times than I care to count.

"Makes sense. I'm glad you have a peacekeeping approach in your training, we like to stress that..." Fred then realizes he's 'talking shop', so to speak, and decides to change the topic.

I'm going to check my marshmallows and eat them if they've reached that perfect golden brown, or beyond that, if they need more time I'll put them back over the fire. "So how about you guys? what's your story?"

Fred says, "That's a long 'un.
So five years ago, I was getting really blazed at the river when suddenly I started getting really high. And not high in a metaphorical sense but high in a quite literal sense. Panicking, I flew almost by instinct to Cory and slammed into the ground, breaking my neck.
Cory, of course, had heard strange sounds and had strange dreams. So he came out and saw my neck snapped, then saw me get up and regenerate it.
Meanwhile, Feickert had met Shake, Frylock and Meatwad playing golf on the Alta Sierra golf course.
We decided to get together, and we crashed into someone. Cory turned into a werewolf and fought Oz from Buffy. They made up and we tried to figure out what was happening.
After that, we heard of demons at Hills Flat. But first, we had to deal with meth heads who were hiding some great evil. It turned out to be this mecha chick we 'affectionately' called Juggernaut Bitch. We managed to fight her just enough to get her to retreat.
We then beat up a mummy and convinced her to help us.
A shaman at Maidu gave us advice, but then David called home and found out that his mom had been kidnapped by this guy Iruga.
We got ready to beat Iruga by talking to the Charmed Ones and meeting a demon, Firebrand. We also took down people trying to revive Lo Pan. We freed Wisp, the spirit of light, from someone who was trying to use it to make a super cannon in Humboldt to threaten the world with a Damocles Sword.
When we beat Iruga, we rescued David's mom. After that, I trained with people like Sayid. Joe and I went to Rifts Earth and freed Luna, the spirit of moon. We redeemed Exar Kun - that's how I got his lightsaber - and freed the spirits of Nomi Sunrider and her fellow Jedi who imprisoned Exar.
Then a few months ago we started to see some shit develop. We beat these guys, the McLean Brothers, and took them back to Sanctuary Eight, who we found out later were actually the Slaughterhouse Seven in disguise with an additional member. We beat a gang called the Flame and Crane gang who were backed by this market libertarian Randian assfucker who was going t use the Mammon Machine to summon the daemon of greed and fuse with it in order to make a world where everything, even life, was for sale. And we got attacked by Organization XIII members.
So, yeah, that's a decent summary."

Fred says, "Well, possibly so. But Rifts Earth is really amazing in the moonlight, the ley lines outlining streaks of blue in the sky. The jungles of Yavin IV are oppressive, but Exar Kun's old Temple is amazingly constructed. We found a planet of a people called the Bonesingers and got them into the Alliance against the Empire. Matrix Earth is a shithole, definitely."

I imagine it would be, Ysmault was terrible too, I really shouldn't go back, I've heard the red lanterns gave set up there, though it's in sector 2814, same as earth, so if I have to it wouldn't be that long of a trip.

I wasn't a big enough name to really get my own villains, just other GL baddies and other intergalactic problems. Though, I am the Guardians favorite "earthman", well except for Raynor maybe. All of the other earth born GLs make a habit of breaking the rules, Raynor included, but he's also their Torch Bearer.

OOG: Actually, since the Kin revolution, the Earth is positively CLOGGED with GLs. Remember that about .1-1% of the Earth population are Kin, according to various estimates. That means approximately 7 to 70 million people or so are Kin. If even .00001% of those were huge Green Lantern fans, that'd be 70 to 700 new GLs. The Corps has reassigned some volunteers, but some want to work on their own like Scott or stay on Earth. However, you are definitely a rising GL.
