So.

Feelings.

What do you do?

Comments

[onthe_threshold]

I think so.

You are?

[candysgirl]

Thank you for that information.

Yes, I’m trying to solve it on my own, but I may be out of time. I got mixed up in a few criminal things, and will have to leave town soon.

[naturaldisasster]

That's almost sweet.

Modesty is for people who lack confidence, [She smirked.] And I for damn sure don't have manners.

[onthe_threshold]

You need any help?

[onthe_threshold]

Shut up.

True on both counts.

[candysgirl]

...yes. I don’t want to quit my job, but what else can be done? I tried to destroy them, but my ex caught on and he wants me to quit work.

Would a new identity help? Or, perhaps, if I moved away. I’m not really sure.

[magnet_girl]

Most people maybe. The people I run with tend to be pretty tall.

[grayshulk]

Yeah, there was definitely that. But It also felt better, as a hulk and as myself. less painful.

Well, you were a bit distracted at the time, and I wasn’t radiating superhero at the time.

[naturaldisasster]

[She grins, making a motion like zipping her mouth shut.]

And yet, y'still hang out with me.

[the_greywaren]

Drinking helps when fire won't cut it.

[mia_j]

Don't tease me. [She punches him in the bicep for good measure.]

I just haven't told anyone before. And just cause something's against the law doesn't make it wrong.

[onthe_threshold]

It hurts, now?

No, just hot lady.

[onthe_threshold]

I do. ...why?

[grayshulk]

A lot of the time. Especially when my head is a bad space.

[She laughs.] Was that what you were thinking, then?

[naturaldisasster]

I can't answer that for you, darlin'. I'm not th'one who's psychic.

[onthe_threshold]

Why don't you tell me exactly what happened?

[onthe_threshold]

Oh, I know. You think I didn't look you up?

[onthe_threshold]

That, too.

[magnet_girl]

Yeah? Did you find my MySpace account linked to the government propaganda? My selfies were A-game.

[onthe_threshold]

Mm.

'Wrong' is extremely subjective.

[onthe_threshold]

That explains a lot.

Yup. Well, and that you might have intel so, you know. Subterfuge is not my strong point but I'm pretty good at doing the himbo thing when I have to.

[onthe_threshold]

Huh.

Life's so weird.

[onthe_threshold]

That shit's just hilariously sad. Honest to god, I KNOW they have good people on staff so the only explanation is that it's really, really easy to get the public to hate mutants.

[magnet_girl]

They're not as good as you think they are. None of them would give up their cushy government pension to do the right thing and you know... not participate in the systemic discrimination and persecution of mutants.

[candysgirl]

My ex is forcing me to quit my job, and work on a yacht. The therapist is his friend, who is supposed to declare me incompetent, but that hasn’t happened yet, and his other friends are going broke and getting arrested. He blames me, which is why I have to go.
