Quietly counts several large bills. Hums.

You alright there?

OOC: Read the profile, cool muse!

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I have ten thousand dollars in cash.

I'm absolutely miserable, of course!


OOC: Thanks. I was doing research awhile ago about Batman villains, and she came up... I'm still not sure if I should consider her a canon or OC, since I'm using the bare bones of canon and going from there..

As always they say money doesn't by happiness. I found that to be a lie though I love being loaded.

OOC: I think it's a reall good idea. I'd say it was a canon muse because you are taking a concept and adapting it..hmm it's a tough one. I think everyone who takes on a canon muse adapts part of them so I'd go with canon. I'm really loving the idea though.

Money buys security. You cannot be happy without security. Basic hierarchy of needs.


OOC: I think this is those "inspired by the canon character" thing. Because while everyone adapts a canon, I have made changes that are slightly sweeping. SO! "Inspired by the canon" is most appropriate.

[blazing-storm.livejournal.com]

And what troubles you got to need security.

OOC: Does this mean you've created a new form of muse, Canon, OC and IBC...haha! ^_^

I'm nineteen and living on my own in a penthouse. My mother is in an insane asylum. The good ones? Are not cheap. The city is overrun by the mob and insane criminals.

Money is the greatest security.

When it comes to shit like that I can't agree with you more. I've always got problems with someone trying to kill me.

Name's Johnny Storm by the way.

It's one thing my dad taught me. Have enough money, you're safe for one more day.

Duela Gordon, pleased to meet you.

[blazing-storm.livejournal.com]

My dad always taught me never to gamble. That's about the only thing he taught me come to think of it.

You shouldn't count that in public, but hey, you'd be the one getting robbed, not me.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Never been robbed yet.

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

It would be really lame of me to rob you right now, wouldn't it? I mean, since we were just talking about it.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

You can try.

Pushes aside coat revealing a grenade, three knives, and a gun all secured in spots on her belt.

If I was a lez, I'd be in so much love right now. Whatever, I still am. Nice gear.

You aren't one of those hero types, are you?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I get that a lot. She smiled. Cocky little thing.

Like the Bat? No. He doesn't get paid, and I don't protect people.

[elfcross.livejournal.com]

Oh good. If you were, we might not be able to chat later, and you're fun.

How lame is that? He goes out, and tries to protect people, and half the time, they don't care. I mean, when they first get rescued, but after the interviews, they go back to living pathetic lives.

My business is much more in the "I have ten bombs in your building. Pay me X amount by Y time, and I don't blow it up." line.

They aren't grateful at all, and he's not going to be able to stop the criminals. They just keep coming back.

*watches dispassionately, eye mostly on the money* Lucky day?

((Oh, man. I'm about to go to class, but I had to tag. Awesome. XD))

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

If you believe in luck. I prefer to make my own, by skill.


OOC: Had to change her comment. There's only one way to reply to that, and it just hit me.

[myownluck.livejournal.com]

Skill can only get you so far.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

And something intangible that may or may not exist can get your further?

[myownluck.livejournal.com]

It's a hell of a lot more trustworthy. *grim half-smile* You can always trust it to do whatever it wants.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

She looked.. almost curious but did not venture too close.

My mom had to depend on luck a lot. Rarely let her down, but I don't trust it as much as she did.

[myownluck.livejournal.com]

*probably for the best, really. God knows his moods and motivations can change on the flip of a you-know-what. And that money is tempting.*

Yeah? What did she do?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

You could say she was a gambler. About as accurate as anything.
