Thank you, corrected.
That was fast.
Also they should probably have some sort of party or ceremony or something that they can invite Starfire and other members of Kom's family.
Komand'r hates practically anyone aside from Raul, especially Kori.
Granted with her personality change, she may do it.
True, but there are certain obligations like informing the family and letting them celebrate. Which doesn't have to mean she sticks around to do so with them even if she will have to spend more time with her family in the future for the sake of her child.
Assuming Tamaranean or Zamaron wedding ceremonies require family to attend.
Tamaranean ones almost certainly do given how open and sharing they are when it comes to emotions.
Ah, Raul. I take it you've explained about the whole meteorite thing? Still, it's interesting how diverse the appearance of different versions of various mainstays can be... You should see the LEGO DC-verse's version of Zamaron. Pink. Crystal. Ridges. Everywhere.24th January 2006

Zamaron is busier than I was expecting. Towers in the styles of a dozen species cover the planet, interspersed at apparently random intervals by cultivated areas of greenery. I can even see what appears to be a vertical farm in skyscraper form, a hollow column of greenery covered in flowers and fruit.
Not interested in having your brain punched by your Ring's database, eh? i can understand that, it's probably already a bit woozy from the earlier cockblocking...The Zamarons themselves are easy enough to spot. The ones acting as our escort all look like human women in hoplite armour, their hair done up in curls. But I've caught sight of others dressed the same way but wearing faces of other species. They're still all women and all humanoid, but I've seen blue, purple, orange and yellow skin, two eyes, four and six, conventionally attractive and unconventionally… Unconventional.
I assume. I don't know all of these species.
She probably had a very different idea of things in her head. Maybe something a bit more like Ysmault, but pink and purple... I see these Zamarons aren't quite as extreme in their views on men as some versions, at least. Benefit of the universe being a kid's show, more or less...There are plenty of aliens, too, male and female and children. Though none are in the air as the Zamarons appears to all be, and there's a certain… Distance between the two groups even when they're close together. I haven't seen any non-humanoids yet, but we've only flown over a relatively small part of one urban area. I also haven't seen any male Zamarons, Guardians, Controllers, or any other Maltusians.
Komand'r doesn't look impressed.
Well, enjoy being pleasantly surprised."What's so great about this place?"
"It's not quite what I was expecting. But-."
I know, right? Seriously, it's a pity I can't find easily linkable pics of the LEGO DC version... Violet rocks and pink crystals... Which makes me wonder what a Paul in the LEGO DC universe might be like. Would he be a human amongst the minifigures or...?"What were you expecting?"
"More violet crystal. And fewer men."
For aesthetics? I don't know...One of the Zamarons looks around, her artfully styled left eyebrow arched.
"The crystals are for the direction and storage of energy. Why would we make buildings with them?"
...This one has opinions about her race's masculine half, doesn't she?"Why do the Guardians make all their buildings look like giant lanterns?"
She rolls her eyes.
"A truly mortifying lack of imagination. Why do you think we dumped them?"
...Okay. Just gonna back up now...Blackfire wrinkles her nose. "Aren't Guardians, like, three-" She makes a 'you must be this high' gesture with her right hand. "-feet tall? And don't they all look like babies?"
The Zamaron huffs. "Those characteristics didn't help." Then she smiles. "Now we attract paramours from across the universe! Most of whom have feelings they don't mind talking about, a reasonable knowledge of armour couture and an acceptance that we're more important than their stupid Lantern Corps!"
...I reserve all comment. I have no experience with this kind of thing.Ah.
"Bad break up?"
"I'm perfectly fine! Why does EVERYONE say I'm not?!""
He's a wiser man than most. Though even a Shonen protagonist could catch those warning signs...I.. look awkwardly at one of the other Zamarons, who subtly shakes her head and makes a 'stop' gesture. I nod, and float away from Unexploded Zamaron and towards head-shaking Zamaron.
... What's the other? Please don't say 'encasing lovers in indestructible crystal..."I wanted to talk to someone about holding our wedding here. Is that really something I need to speak to your current Queen about?"
"Weddings are a celebration of love, one of the two most important things in Zamaron society."
Who knows, maybe they can bond over it...Komand'r frowns in a 'I'm nearly interested' sort of way.
"Oh? What's the other one?"
...'Love hurts', huh? Knocking some sense into dunderheads who are thicker than harem anime protagonists?
...Oh god, they are going to bond...I can just see Komand'r with a Violet Ring now..."I'm one point two billion years old. Have you got any idea how many cities I've seen? Heck, this is the seven hundredth one I've seen just at this geographic location alone. Seriously, razed to the ground, built up again, seven hundred times. Only two things still make me feel alive: genuine emotional attachment to another intelligent being." She smiles beatifically. "And the brutal rush-" Her expression becomes a little more manic. "-of bloody combat."
Komand'r nods. "Oh, I totally get you. This… 'Love' thing's kind of new for me, but I've always liked fighting."
I mean... He's not the first she's fought alongside... Depending on how dark you consider their backstory to get, not the first in other places...The Zamaron glances my way. "He is your first?"
Komand'r hesitates.
"When you say first..?"
She sounds almost relieved that's what the lady meant..."The first person for whom you have felt romantic love."
"Oh! Yeah, definitely."
"Just watch me, beeyatch!"
Amusing that she can feel that way, yet still not say the words 'weak' or 'vulnerable' aloud."Ugh, fine. He's the first person I think I can be completely honest with, the first I trust enough to be w-." Twitch. "Vun-." Twitch. "I don't have to constantly assert myself when I'm around him. Who I know will be there for me because he's proven that he loves me too, who I can trust not to abuse that trust."
The Zamaron looks at me.
Double standards much, my dear Ladies?"And can she?"
"You're not going to ask me if she's my first?"
To be fair, I don't think any of us want to know, anyway. Even if OL was probably the first to share that about himself...She shrugs. "I probably would if I was being fair, but we picked female forms for a reason and I'm not."
Komand'r frowns at her. "I am." She looks curiously at me. "I never asked that. Am I?"
She's got a point. Tamaraneans are anything but subtle in emotional displays, whatever that emotion be."Yes. I love your passion, your fury-."
"That's just a tamaranean thing. I want to hear about me.""
Dang, Raul. You sweet talker, you. Looks like she was definitely good for him."I've never been more alive than in the time I've known you. Your adventurousness, your vivacity, your determination to wring every bit of excitement out of life made me actually embrace what we do rather than stumble from job to job out of a sense of obligation, or… Because I couldn't think of anything better to do. Heck, the way I put aside all of my reservations about letting my anger and hate run free, the.. whole way I was able to channel the Lesser Sign of the Butcher… That was you, what you showed me."
"If we weren't in public, I would be ripping that armour off you..."Komand'r's eyes are wide and watery as she drifts over to me and lays her hands on my chest.
"Awww…"
Wait... Did they just...And then head-shaking Zamaron drops a pair of necklaces over our heads.
We both blink, pulling away slightly to look at… The glowing violet crystal attached to each of them.
Huh. Well, talk about your quick versions. Not quite "Do you? Do you? Good, you're married! Kiss her!" but it works.
To be fair, if people come to Zamaron to seal the deal, they're probably in a hurry, or looking for a big show, so...Okay. That's.. why we're here… But…
"Isn't there supposed to be a ceremony?"
Nice. The best kind of mental link. One that reinforces positive bonds."Usually we send a couple who want to be married by us on an epic quest to prove their worth and test their love, but we heard about Vega and you two have pretty much done all that. The Queen can officiate a ceremony with guests if you want, but this is the important bit. Two people who complete each other finding each other."
I think I-. I close my eyes-. I can feelKomand'r through the violet crystal. Komand'r blinks as she realises the same thing.
...Seriously, Raul? You didn't explain the Meteorite thing?
Guessing she was saying 'Vulnerable' here, so 'Vuln-.' probably fits better....the first I trust enough to be w-." Twitch. "Vun-." Twitch.
Yeah, but Komand'r still hates Kori, so unless her mood swings cause her to invite her, I don't see her honoring any Tamaranean traditions.
Seeing as she betrayed her family and people, I doubt she cares all that much about certain aspects of Tamaranean culture.
Love the Rage and Rage the Love.

This one has opinions about her race's masculine half, doesn't she?
Oh god, they are going to bond...I can just see Komand'r with a Violet Ring now...
Also some times it not about caring or not caring as being unable to conceive of not doing it because that's just how your people/family do things
she'll need someone to baby sit her child while she goes off to beat the $h!t out of people or brutally murders them.
Belle Reve has inhibitor collars that work on supercriminals from Abra (nanotech) to Black Adam (divine magic) to Ultra-Humanite (gorilla physiology).
My theory is that they work by disrupting the nerve signals that activate the person's abilities, especially since they can be programmed to let the subject use chosen abilities.
Although you are right about not being one size fits all, they have to be programmed correctly for the target before being put on.
Aww, our two adorable rage filled murder-babies got hitched :')
I can now see the Dalek officiating the wedding, with a little bowtie and whatnot:
"Dearly abhorred. We've been forced here together to witness these two fleshbags swear an ill considered oath of fleeting loyalty to each other.
His enemies shall be her enemies! And her enemies shall be his enemies! And together. They shall...EX-TER-MINATE!
You may now punch the bride"
Thank you, corrected.Guessing she was saying 'Vulnerable' here, so 'Vuln-.' probably fits better.
Sounds like they would get more funerals than marriages out of that."Usually we send a couple who want to be married by us on an epic quest to prove their worth and test their love,
Sounds like they would get more funerals than marriages out of that.
Unless they are very good at tailoring 'epic' to the individual and fairly broad in their definition of 'quest'. I suppose there must be quite a lot of Master In-Piles in the galaxy.
You want to get married by the Zamarons? Earn it.Sounds like they would get more funerals than marriages out of that.
Unless they are very good at tailoring 'epic' to the individual and fairly broad in their definition of 'quest'.
What is a Master In-Pile?I suppose there must be quite a lot of Master In-Piles in the galaxy.
...This was cute. I wonder what the little rage baby will look like.
Is there a version of Paul out there that ended up wooing Diana? Seems unlikely, but a guy can dream.
What is the Millennium?One of the Zamarons looks around, her artfully styled left eyebrow arched.
The year 2000.
The year 2000.
A television series.
A different television series.
Or a comic event that never mattered and everyone promptly forgot about.
Other than the utterly vile moron who thought drinking Dr. Jekyll's serum was a good idea.
…I know I shouldn't be surprised that you don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of all drawn media but somehow it always comes as a shock.
Ah, the bureaucrat song! Now I remember!…I know I shouldn't be surprised that you don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of all drawn media but somehow it always comes as a shock.
The Master In-Pile is from Futurama. The bureaucrat Hermes, due to shenanigans, has to sort and file a multi-story pile of incoming mail in four minutes.
It's more a confusing mess where no party involved could work out who the other parties were actually interested in.I think Zoat mentioned that Goldie, formerly known as Anti Green Lantern Paul, may get together with Diana and princess Audrey.
Though I'm not a 100% sure.
