Regarding plans for in-game activity

[khashmul]

Sweetheart, are you sure this is how you want to do things?

Your confidence in my ability to handle myself on this space station of yours is great and all, but do you think we could not stick me in a teleporter every time the blighted place goes on red-alert? I didn't run through the Council's gauntlet only to have you stick me in the freezer when it gets hot in the kitchen. That's not what I signed up for. You making it into a running gag could mean people get hurt, and you know how I feel about that.

But fine, I get it. You'll do whatever you want and pull the strings to make me dance. I don't get a say in it, but if that's the way it's going to be the least you could do is find me a few people to dance with, darling.

More than one person? Sounds like you're well on your way to greatness.

[He gives her a wider smile.]

And I don't know, what's a superhero where you're from?

[personalbubble]

[akjsduealki BLUSH.] I'm not really that great, but... thanks.

[Srsbsns face.]

Where I'm from, superheroes have powers and save people. But, that doesn't mean that normal people can't be superheroes.

[khashmul]

[Credit where it's due, hm? He takes note of the serious face and does his best to wipe the smile from his own.]

And if we're working off of that criteria I guess you could say I'm a superhero but that's not what we call ourselves where I'm from.

[He holds out a hand.]

My name's Navid. What's yours, sweetheart?

[personalbubble]

Sooooo, what do you call a superhero where you're from?

[That's a cautious, curious look at his hand before she holds hers out to shake it.] I'm Violet?

[khashmul]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Violet, and as for what people are called where I'm from? Well, that depends on who they're affiliated with I suppose.

[He gives her hand a shake, as he would an equal.]

A lot of them serve in the military and the guard, for instance.

[personalbubble]

[akdeasueadh He's treating her like an adult. Violet tries to return in kind, but she's a bit shocked and, let's face it, the grip of a thirteen-year-old girl isn't that amazing.]

Oh... so they're kind of like police and stuff? [Pause. She's squinting up at him.] Are you a police officer?

[khashmul]

[She's still a superhero, new or not, young or not, and that means she deserves his respect.

At her question, Navid hesitates a moment. He wouldn't admit to it normally, wouldn't advertise it...But considering the setting he allows himself to be truthful.]

Of sort. I'm an agent with the Council. They run our country and I help to make sure everything's smooth enough for them to do so.

[personalbubble]

Ohhhh. So, you must have a badge or something to prove it, right?

[Her mother taught her to make suuuure someone is a cop when they say they are.]
