thinking of mask or menace

[ex_galvanist88]

You just don't know how to leave well enough alone, do you. I'm fine. You can leave me alone for once instead of enabling those pipe dreams of apping me somewhere and putting me through misery...again.

[ but super powers, Whale. ]

I never needed any sort of magical powers before, I don't need any now.

[ paaaaause ]

Unless, you know, it's the ability to create whiskey or something like that. I could live with that.

[patriarchia]

Just be careful... getting magic powers doesn't always make life easier, trust me.

[ex_galvanist88]

How bad could whiskey powers be?

[ it hasn't really entered Whale's mind yet that there's a possibility he might get something that ISN'T whiskey powers... ]

[infomodder]

[BUDDY]

There's plenty of whiskey at my place.

[patriarchia]

Other than we might need to wring you like a sponge to sober you up? Powers, whether they're magical or otherwise -- and for real, I can't believe I'm resorting to this line -- come with a price.

[ex_galvanist88]

[ AW YEAH ]

I'll keep that in mind. Because knowing my luck? These whiskey powers might not pan out.

[ex_galvanist88]

You sound like your father. [ said with a bit of a smirk that's obviously 'I'm being a shit and teasing you.' ]

Most things come with a price. But it'd be nice if the price was something manageable.

[infomodder]

[Will does not look at all upset about that.

Speaking of panning out...]

There's more of your people there. Like that Hook guy. That's something to take into consideration, isn't it?

[Wait is that why he wants whiskey powers

shit

no, Whale should get whiskey powers, they could both benefit]

[patriarchia]

He's not always wrong.

[ But he gets it, and he doesn't mind, and the smirk is appreciated. ]

Yeah, I hear you on that one.

That place looks all right though. Henry and Emma are there too, right?

[ex_galvanist88]

[ he wants whiskey powers because he's a goddamn alcoholic, bro. ]

About that...my relationships with some people from home ranges from 'tolerable' to 'bad.'

[ and, also one of the people from home there is the the kid of someone he slept with so, you know, fun times all around. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm sure you have higher aspirations -- not that an adequate whiskey is something to sniff at, of course.

[infomodder]

[They can enable each other if that comes to pass.

And, ah. Yes. Will knows this song and dance.]

Think everybody's got those. [Some worse than others.] You managed to ask a bunch of supposed do gooders to make you some pot, I'm sure you can manage anything.

[the power of not giving a fuck]

[uncurse]

I don't know if the obsession with making booze with magic gets more of less disturbing knowing that Hook already went there with rum. [ It should be unsettling that they have that urge in common, right? Whale is not exactly Prince Charming here ok. ]

[ex_galvanist88]

And Hook. Which really, I can think of worse people to be stuck somewhere with.

[ex_galvanist88]

[ when you get punched by Prince Charming that kind of forever puts you out of the Prince Charming running ] Hey, that's a respectable power that doesn't involve too much magic. I don't need magic for my work, so why not have a fun power?

[ex_galvanist88]

Does it really count as aspirations if you know you're going to get there? I'm getting my job back no matter what.

[ex_galvanist88]

[ you ask people to make you magic pot THAT ONE TIME.... ]

What can I say, I'm a take charge sort of guy.

[infomodder]

[WELL HE LIVES WITH A POT DEALER/POTHEAD NOW COME ON IT'S MEMORABLE AND RELEVANT.]

Is that what they're calling it? [Take charge of a bunch of ~Heroes~, Whale.] Not desperation?

[patriarchia]

[ Neal's shoulders roll in a shrug; mixed feelings, obviously. ]

Seems like it's pretty busy there. My mun's also considering it, but not for me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

"No matter what" -- that purports some assumption, doesn't it? Shall we consider such infamous last words?

[ex_galvanist88]

That's a pity. It'd be nice to have some actual company there.

[ mixed feelings as well all up on his end. ]

[ex_galvanist88]

Consider it a promise, more than anything else.

[ex_galvanist88]

That's what I'm calling it now. [ anything to boost his own ego and make himself sound better, Will. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Ambition is a trait that few value properly, doctor.

I am, naturally, one of those few.

[patriarchia]

[ wryly: ] I'm not sure I'm ever on the roster for findin a home. Mostly I just kick around with a handful of people. But it's better than the alternative of getting nothing.

[infomodder]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[Tears it down with love.]

Gonna use Victor for the hero name?

[TEARS IT ALL DOWN]
