Apping at ataraxion

[master_of_the_game]

So it's decided, then? I'll be taking a little sabbatical in space. Well, it'll be a nice break from my usual duties. I'm sure I've earned at least a little bit of time off, for my years of good service.

With any luck, maybe some more of my kid's little friends will end up there, too. After all, without wannabe-heros to mess with, the day gets downright boring. Oh well. Shame I can't bring my gear, though. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

...Hm. You know what? [Stopping for a moment, he looks in a nearby mirror.] You're absolutely right. I guess I do look pretty good for 55.

By this point it probably seems like I'm stalking you

[eyeofthetigress]

You deserve time off.

The more I can test him out, the better

[master_of_the_game]

Back when I was in the League full-time, Ra's Al Ghul always had me on some mission or other.

[eyeofthetigress]

Al Ghul is an asshole.

You deserve some time to rest. On thing that doesn't change from universe to universe is that you never stop working.

[master_of_the_game]

Regardless, he's one of my superiors.

[eyeofthetigress]

Yeah...

You'll do just fine in space, Daddy. She's lucky to have you there.

[master_of_the_game]

Not that she'll admit that.

[upgrade_mask]

Heroes only wind up getting killed.

[master_of_the_game]

Which is why I'm trying to get her to wise up.

[upgrade_mask]

Villains only wind up getting punished.

Their ends are typically bloodier than the heroes'.

[master_of_the_game]

Then they aren't very good at what they do. It's the price of the game.

[upgrade_mask]

Maybe.

Maybe they just don't play for the right side.

Even a monster can live forever if he walks the path between Heaven and Hell.

[master_of_the_game]

I'm really not much for poetic speech.

[likethecheshire]

Space. I like that distance.

[master_of_the_game]

At least now you have a convenient excuse for not being able to hit me.

[likethecheshire]

At least now I don't have to think of an excuse for Master for why your body turned up in the river.

Watch it.

Re: /threadjack

[master_of_the_game]

It's alright, this is simply father/daughter communication.

[eyeofthetigress]

She wants to kill you.

How is that even remotely normal!?

[likethecheshire]

I'm sorry. Am I upsetting you? I was a little busy not caring.

[eyeofthetigress]

I understand that killing people is fun.

But you should back off of him.

[master_of_the_game]

Honestly. I push you a little too hard in your training, and your immediate response is to want to kill me. I think that's a little out-of-proportion to the perceived slight.

[likethecheshire]

A little too hard? Master pushed me 'a little too hard'. You bordered on abuse.

[seethemoon]

We're not 'wannabe-heroes'.

[master_of_the_game]

Whatever you say, "Superman".

[seethemoon]

Don't call me that.
