And after a while, Mirror will send Blue Lantern a message!

Some people interested in asking questions about you! Don't think I spilled anything, but there is freaking out like I've never seen before going on. Which means you're doing good work. Congratulations!

And the Gentleman will study the prison in which Doctor Dimensional is held.

Some worlds you can save. Some futures you can live in.

Others, well...

Others are more for informational value.

Musoka is dreaming.

---

The masked assailants are back; Bull is charging her and Spider's fire is around on all sides, blocking her escape... but she raises her ring, glowing bright, and the HUD from Stargunner: Revelations pops up. Her power armor (which is apparently a party member now) shouts encouragement as she uses a dodge art to jump over Bull's charge and stagger him. She nails the QTE and imprisons him in a cutscene-counter. Ooooh, bonus drops!

---

The fight is wrapping up (complete with victory music). Her therapist pops out of the power armor and asks her how her relationship with Ceru is going. Musoka thinks it's going fine, but for some reason, she's having trouble checking the affinity chart to confirm. The text is all garbled. A glitch, maybe? 

Her therapist is still looking at her expectantly. Huh. I guess the affinity chart doesn't pause the game... She gives an awkward thumbs-up, and then jets off into space.

---

Musoka is looking at the world from orbit, marveling at the sight, and then she sees it blur, and suddenly she's in the False Sage's box again. Her heart rate rises, but she opens the world map, and - huh, it looks like they didn't disable fast travel for this sequence? She's not really feeling it, so she selects the Twentieth Century building and then she's there instead. Minerva's on the roof with a quest-marker box over her head, so she flies up...

---

Mimi is having her second, fatal stroke... but this time she's right there, Ceru on her finger, and this time she can help. Blue light bursts out of her and envelops Mimi. It's over in an instant, and then Mimi is looking up at her with her full, warm smile Musoka hasn't seen for over half her life, and pulls her into a hug. 

"Oh, my little blue butterfly...", she sighs into Musoka's ear, stroking her hair. "I always said you'd change the world one day, didn't I? And look at you now!"

I've missed you, Mimi. But I always knew you'd be proud of me.

- and then she wakes up, eyes a little watery. Hugs herself.

<'morning>, she thinks lazily at Ceru. <Do we have any scheduled disasters for the day?>

Permalink

<Good morning, Musoka! The time is 9:50 am. Today we have an intake appointment with a PR specialist that I set up last night, which I suppose could be a disaster! Not much else, though. It'd be good to do some training, but you're also free to spend most of the day playing Stargunner, if you really want to.>

<Mirror messaged you late last night after you went to bed, by the way.> She adds, a moment later.

Musoka snorts at the mention of the PR meeting. <Thanks for setting that up. And yeah, I'd like to practice training... Maybe some kind of sparring with other heroes? Is that a thing?>

She reads Mirror's message. Raises an eyebrow. <Dunno what to think of that, really.  Maybe we should ask Minerva if she knows what that's about.>

She'll send off a "😇 💙😇" in reply, though, and get ready for the day.

And while she does, Ceru will message Minerva.

Musoka is interested in sparring to practice using her powers in a more controlled environment, if you have any recommendations for sparring partners and venues (or alternative suggestions).

Also, Mirror mentioned that someone's been asking her questions about Blue Lantern. She seemed to think this was a good sign?

I can schedule her sparring matches whenever she needs it; there's plenty of superheroes who'd be happy for a chance to spar with someone they don't know, especially given that she can heal any scratches that result.

I don't know if it's a good sign or not; I don't know Mirror well enough. I'd expect a great many people to ask questions about anyone who knows Blue Lantern.

<Minerva can schedule a sparring match, when do you want it?>

Permalink

<Can we do one NOW???>

Permalink

<...I can ask?>

She's interested in sparring now, apparently! Or sometime later today, if that works better.
