[atrb=background,http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x126/Gotta_love_gits/Sinestro/random%20images/greenmiddle.png] A lot had changed in his time on earth. He had gone from hating everyone and just wanting to work on his own to dealing with humans on a regular basis, even calling one or two of them friends. He had two pets, a pseudo daughter, and a girlfriend of sorts, though he still wasn’t too sure about his relationship with the young woman, if he was completely honest. All the same, it didn’t change the fact that he was not the Korugaran who had come to earth, as much as he sometimes thought it would have been better not to make connections. It felt like there was additional burden in having relationships with others, and the want to keep them not only safe, but happy seemed like something he hadn’t had to deal with for an eternity. It was all very confusing, but he couldn’t say he hated it. At least, not completely. There was something nostalgic in having friends again- it reminded him of his days as a Green Lantern the first time around. Back when he hadn’t been corrupted by power or infused with an insane idea to control the universe through fear instead of trying to bring peace like he ought to have. Back then, he’d had plenty of friends within the corps, and a family. How strange that things seemed to coming full circle. Smiling faintly to himself, he looked up at the massive house he had just purchased, looking it over with a scrutinizing eye. It was old and in need of repair, but it was large and well suited for someone like him. He deserved the best, didn’t he? Not that a run-down old mansion was really ‘the best’, but for his purposes it couldn’t be much better. The damaged appearance would keep people away, and there was plenty of room both within and below the mansion for him to store all his various computers and technology. And furniture too, perhaps. This was supposed to be more of a house than his underwater base, after all. It would also be a better place for his kitten and tortoise, who didn’t need to be trapped in a spooky underwater base all the time. They already seemed eager to explore inside, and Sinestro let them roam while he moved through the empty halls for some investigation of his own. It was empty, completely unfurnished and more than a little cold, but it was already more of a home than he had been allowed for a long time. What was he getting himself into? Could he really consider earth a place to go home to? It felt like he was making some kind of horrible mistake. Sighing, he looked at his ring, wondering if that had been the worst of the possible mistakes he had made of late. He had sent out a call to all the lanterns in the area, of any color excluding those that might want to rip him apart like Black Hand and Atrocitus, letting them know of the building he had purchased and where to find it. It would be a more than just his house- it would be something of a Lantern frat house, if he was honest with himself. A place for any of the lanterns who needed it to come and use it as their own home as well. A boarding house for aliens with no other place to go. Heck, he could have probably opened it to more than lanterns, but he wasn’t sure how to spread the word beyond his ring. Really, he wasn’t ready for complete strangers to show up and make roost. It was hard enough dealing with people he was growing familiar with. Just a lantern party seemed acceptable. It would help him keep some potential threats close, without actually throwing himself into any lion dens. And it was his house, so he could totally kick out anyone who was a pain in the ass to deal with. As long as no one asked where he had obtained the money for the house, he was fine. He used his ring to hover in some of the belongings he had brought from his underwater base, placing a sofa in a large room that could easily serve as a living space. From there, he sat down, letting out a sigh. Now it was just a waiting game to see who might show up. (This is an open thread to all lanterns who might need a place to stay. xD Pretty much Sinestro’s halfway house. This thread takes place before the events of Revenge At Last)

[/style] TAGGED:Sinestro and Lanterns WORDS: 266 Miri made her way out of a place called Burger King, she had gone shopping with Kara earlier in the day and got the notification about a place to stay, she needed that, she needed a home on earth, seeing she was going to be around earth more. Kara had helped Miri look for human clothes so she wouldn’t have to where her boots all the time and her violet uniform. Miri wore a beautiful yellow strapless sundress that came down to her knees. She had on white flats that seemed to match the dress in some way. Her Red hair was straitened and she looked absolutely beautiful. She had decided that Kara was the best at shopping and fashion. As Miri walked up to the huge place that was given she smiled, it was a nice rundown place but given some new paint it was sure to be amazing, Miri checked out the outside, it was all nice, she could help plant some flowers or make the place more bright. The young women made her way up to the door and knocked lightly. She was curious about everything, tracing the wood door with her finger tips she smiled, it was nice. The whole idea of living on earth was nice, she wanted to know more about the planet and how everything worked. Miri looked down at her hands and smiled, she couldn’t hide the fact that she was also very nervous about it, she hadn’t really been much involved in life for a couple years so the whole social life thing was becoming weird. “Hello?” NOTES: whut [/style]

[atrb=background,http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x126/Gotta_love_gits/Sinestro/random%20images/greenmiddle.png] Slowly, Sinestro moved to the door, making sure his kitten wasn’t hovering around his feet to slip outside when she had a chance to. With her no where in sight, he opened the door, peeking outside to see who had come. It was someone who had responded to his welcoming message, by the looks of it, but he had been anticipating a blue lantern, or perhaps another green. Hell, he had even been thinking Razer might stop in. The last being he had expected to see was someone in a violet outfit, looking ready to give everyone she ran into a big hug. A Star Sapphire. Of all the lanterns out there, it had to be a Star Sapphire. He was half-tempted to close the door on her, but instead he managed to find some courtesy to step aside and grant her entry to the less-than-decorated mansion. “I’m a little surprised,” he mentioned after he allowed her to come on it, closing the door lightly behind her, “I wasn’t expecting someone like you to pop in here. I didn’t even know there was a Star Sapphire hanging around earth.” He didn’t know if he was supposed to be happy or not- he really didn’t like the thought of having to deal with love, and if she thought he needed some boost of feeling she was sadly mistaken. Of course, it was probably selfish to think she was there just for him. Maybe some other love-immune sap had drawn her to earth. Whatever the case, he wasn’t going to forget his history with the corps. They had been at war once- the Star Sapphires had stolen his team mates. They had attempted to get in his way. Hell, Carol had even tried to trap him in one of their mind-altering crystals, forcing him to feel love and remember his wife. Just thinking about it was making him uncomfortable. “My name is Sinestro,” he told the other, though he wasn’t sure if she didn’t already know that much by the look of him.

[/style] TAGGED: who? WORDS: ### STATUS: complete/incomplete Miri smiled. “Well it’s a long story, I was actually brought to earth by a girl named Kara she had found me and asked if I would come to earth, something about her father teaching her about lanterns and how she wanted to meet a ‘pink’ lantern. Then I got signed to earth, being the young girl wanted to have me here on earth. So here I am, on earth. “Miri looked around the room they were in, it was beautiful, human buildings were always amazing, once her eyes met the huge greenish colored animal Miri looked closely at it, figuring it was a earth turtle of some sort, it was much smaller than the ones on her world. Miri smiled at the tortoise, as the creature moved slowly around the house, she believed he was the cutest little thing she had ever seen. She looked back and Sinestro, he seemed to be remembering something that made him feel a bit uneasy about her being a Star Sapphire. Once he introduced himself her eyes brightened up, “It’s nice to meet you Sinestro, my names Miri Riam.” She lightly held a book behind her back. Looking at the man she could tell that he had some type of feelings about her being there. “I do not plan on harming earth, I believe it just needs more love, and Kara agrees with me. What ever happen between you and the Star Sapphire corps I promise I won’t bring it up” Miri smiled and hopped that one day he would like her and that they could possibly become friends.

[atrb=background,http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x126/Gotta_love_gits/Sinestro/random%20images/greenmiddle.png] Sinestro frowned, watching the female. He wasn't sure how well he could trust her, but it didn't seem like she knew too much about the war he'd had with the Star sapphires. Or if she did, she was good at hiding it. Either way, he found he didn't distrust what she was saying, and that she wasn't there to try and target him, specifically. Which was good, because he really didn't need another enemy running around. He seemed to have enough of those as it stood. Sometimes it felt like he couldn't turn a corner without someone trying to kill him. Though he supposed a lot of them were only trying to defend themselves while he ruined their plans, but still. He was gathering a lot of hate in the criminal sector. Which was entirely fine with him. He just didn't need the love lanterns adding to the stress of it, so it was good that she wasn't there for anything that he might consider nefarious. All the same, he wasn't against keeping an eye on her. At least to start. "Well, Riam, this house is open to any lantern who might need a place to stay while on earth," he informed her lightly, rubbing the back of his neck as he struggled through his invitation, "so you're welcome to stay here if you would like to." He hadn't thought it would be so hard to be nice to someone- clearly he needed more practice. It had been a long time since he had been anything other than cold to others. Then he had started to meet humans and other aliens, all of whom had changed his perception. He had to wonder what he would be like if he hadn't met people like, Lor, Kara, and even the snarky Eve. Beings he wanted to protect. And he would do his best to do just that. Turning from her, he let his eyes wander towards the kitchen. "Are you hungry or anything?" he offered after a moment, "I don't know what kind of food your planet had, but I can try to find some worthy substitutes if you would like. I found getting used to the food on this planet one of the more difficult things to accomplish. They have strange tastes."

[/style] TAGGED: who? WORDS: ### STATUS: complete/incomplete Miri smiled, this man who most said he was cold and mean were wrong. “Thank you, a house would be a nice place to stay while I am here working.” Miri looked around. It was nice being welcomed. He then asked her about food. it was nice of him to offer, she was quite hungry. “The foods on my planet would be considered weird here on earth yet very similarities.” The young woman looked around and smiled at all of the things inside the house. Following Sinestro to the kitchen she wondered who else would show up. Miri began to think about her home planet Lartnec. The place was beautiful, full of life and the animals were huge and amazing. Her family, how she would miss them but they knew her job came with great journeys. Then there was her husband, how she missed him and how she loved him deeply. Miri let out a sigh of love and knew that it was him who let her become what she is today. Looking at the stuff Sinestro pulled out Miri raised an eyebrow in wonder. “What is all this?” she was a curious women and the things of earth interested her. She watched him with wonder as he made this human food. She then looked at the fridge as it began making a noise “What’s that.” Certainly it was the fridge running like it should but miri wasn’t sure, the devices on her planet didn’t run like that they were quite and soft.

[atrb=background,http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x126/Gotta_love_gits/Sinestro/random%20images/greenmiddle.png] Sinestro arched an eyebrow when she sighed, a slight interest in what she was thinking about passing over him. But it was over and done with before long, the alien focusing again on obtaining some food for the both of them. She was not an enemy, but a guest in his home, so he would have to make sure that he played the part of the host well. Even if it wasn't something he was very good at, he was going to have to do his best. Luckily, he was pretty good at learning things while he went along. Maybe he could learn to be a little be nicer, too. Though it seemed unlikely. When she asked about a noise, his pointy ears flicked, tuning in on the humming of the fridge. "It's just the machine," he told her as he pulled some supplies from the unit, "it sometimes makes some strange noises, but it works well enough for what it's supposed to do." He decided to make them both sandwiches, since it was easy and left plenty of room for error. Eve had taught him that sandwiches could be basically anything, as long as the food tasted good together. He went with ham, lettuce, cheese, mayo and some cucumbers for a bit of crunch. It was a sandwich he rather enjoyed the taste of. Making two, he offered one to Miri. "What was that sigh about earlier?" He asked absently, taking a bite out of his sandwich, "If it's something you don't want to talk about, that's fine, I was just asking about it in case I was doing something to bore you."

[/style] TAGGED: who? WORDS: ### STATUS: complete/incomplete Miri smiled at him. And took the sandwich, sure it had cucumbers on it but she wasn’t going to complain. It was something she didn’t like but she would eat anyway. Taking a bite of the good sandwich she looked at him, swallowed the bite. “I was thinking of my late husband, without him I wouldn’t be here. He saved me more than once; he crosses my mind a lot.” Miri snacked away on her sandwich and looked around the kitchen, it was a cozy kitchen and it was nice. Once she finished the sandwich she smiled, it was a great item of food other than the cucumbers. “Thank you for the food. you are a very good host.” She could just see he was trying to be good, and she thought it was cute that he was trying so hard. Soon she wondered back in to the living room. “What is earth like? seeing im going to be here for a while, I was wondering if you could tell me a little about it?” Miri spun around and looked back at him; she was in a great loving mood like always. The woman looked around and listened to what Sinestro had to say, she was very crurious about earth and the things that went on, if their was something she needed to worry about she hoped he would tell her. or if there was something she needed to learn, like how people reacted to aliens on earth, if they liked aliens or if they were terrified. Maybe he would help her understand how to act. NOTES: whut [/style]

[atrb=background,http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x126/Gotta_love_gits/Sinestro/random%20images/greenmiddle.png] Sinestro nodded. "I see. I suppose I'm the same when I think about my wife. She meant a lot to me when she was alive. But after she died, I suppose I swore off love for the most part, making sure I never opened myself up to anyone." It was probably way he had gotten way too obsessed with his work, all things considered. Maybe if he had allowed some emotions in, he wouldn't have been so inclined to think only of the bigger picture, not of the people he was hurting along with way. It may have saved millions of lives. but he hadn't been as clear-headed back then. No one had been around to point out how stupid he had been. That would have helped. When she asked about earth, he frowned, thoughtful for a moment. "I suppose I haven't experienced much of it myself," he admitted, "I'm only just starting to open up to the idea of making friends. Well, reluctantly. Lately it seems I don't have much say in the matter. In any case, earth can be a bit... hectic. I'm sure your pension for love will be needed here- there are a lot of beings without any in their hearts. Since our dimension merged with that other one, it seems the problems have only increased. There are more villains and tension than ever. Even the regular humans are acting up more, just because they're afraid of the other people that they don't understand. However, a lot of heroes are here now, too. I mean, since that's what they like to be called, anyway." He shrugged his shoulders. The whole idea of being known as a hero was one he didn't really understand. Nor did he want to. "This planet has it perks, too, I guess," he added, if only because he felt like he had been a little too gloomy about the state of things, "I don't think you need to worry about anything like running out of things to do, that's for sure." He chuckled faintly. "Speaking of: what do you plan on doing first? You must have something on your mind, or you wouldn't have been so inclined to come just because you had been asked to."

WORDS: ### STATUS: complete/incomplete Miri thought about it, earth had been a place she had wanted to see since she was just a little lartnec playing alien going to earth. “thinking of it, I would like to see the grand canyon and the other sites of earth, and eat earth food and I want to learn all I can about earth, we were going to go on a vacation here one year, we planned it on our honeymoon but we never got to it. But now I plan to learn all I can about this crazy cute planet.” The blue skinned girl looked around the place then noticed a animal with a shell and really grumpy looks. “Who is this?” Miri studied the creature, it was bigger than most tortoises she had seen before, and she had only seen three. Lightly the girl moved her hand down to touch TJ the tortoises, she wished to know what the little man’s shell felt like, unlike karas fast movements Miri was slow and steady, she also showed love to the animal hoping that he would allow her to tough him. “he is very beautiful Sinestro, you must keep him in good shape if he is this well trained in a house.” She remember how the animals on her planet took a lot of training before you let them in your house. The animals on Lartnec were huge and wild and didn’t really like being kept in small houses where the people lived. Miri had always wanted a pet ever since she was little but the animals on her planet again were to wild to have NOTES: whut [/style]

Sinestro was surprised. "Really? You had wanted to come to earth? That's funny- I hadn't even known it existed until I was asked to go fetch Hal Jordan. Even Abin, who had been the lantern of the sector before Hal, hadn't mentioned the place to me before. I suppose that must have been because he had known how important the place really was, and hadn't wanted me to know anything about it that might have gotten me in trouble." He sighed faintly. Sometimes, he really did miss his best friend. If he hadn't been so ready to think he'd gone mad, perhaps he would have been able to save him from his own ring failing him in a time of need.

That really would have changed history. No Hal. No betrayal. No banishment... he probably would have continued never knowing a damn thing about earth. Would if have made his life happier?

It was possible.

He had zoned out a moment, but was brought back to reality when Miri asked about the tortoise. He smiled faintly, watching as TJ opened his mouth in an attempt to look menacing. He didn't, however, bite at the lantern, reluctantly allowing her to pet him. "That's TJ," he said, "Thaal Junior. He's a pet Kara gave to me some time ago. He doesn't like a lot of people. There's also a kitten running around him somewhere." He called her a kitten, but she had gotten quite big. He would probably have to start calling her a cat at some point.

"Perhaps you'll be able to help me take better care of him," Sinestro commented, "I don't know a lot about pet care, though I've been trying. If you have any tips, feel free to share."
