Don't give me that "maybe a different game" crap. We both know you're not serious about looking for a game for me. You've never managed to be active in more than one game at a time, and I don't think you're going to start now.

So do us both a favor. Just drop it and let me get back to business.

Oh come now, Carol Danvers. Are you so certain that there is no place amid all these games that you might find worthy? Does not the warrior blood in your veins cry out for a challenge?

Surely there is SOMETHING that may interest you.

[You can tell Herc is being serious, because he's not ogling appreciating her outfit!

...Much.]

[higherfurtherfaster]

Hey, I'm not the problem here. I love a good fight as much as anyone, but she's not serious about it. She's all talk.

[Yes, she can tell how serious he is.]

[olympic_lion]

[Well, this IS Herc so it's not like he's a jerk about it. He totes respects her worth as a woman and a fellow Avenger, too! (Besides, didn't she have some business-company-agenty thing going on? He tends to tune out the business talk.)

And as much as ANYONE, Carol? You know it's talk like that that suggests he should unleash The Gift.] Aye, a wishy-washy mundane can be a stultifying influence indeed. You must catch her interest, force her to wish to speak with your voice! Drown out her thoughts with your own conceptualizing, and make her want to bring you out because she can't stand to bottle you up the longer!

Thus, towards that end. Given all the choice in the world, what would you do and where would you go?

[higherfurtherfaster]

So you're saying I should annoy her into doing something with me? [She looks amused, then thoughtful.] I guess that could work. I'd have to shout pretty loud to be heard over the others in here.

[And a shrug.] Somewhere I could be useful. I'm not much for sitting around.

[olympic_lion]

Oh, I've no doubt the Warbird can make her cry heard. [Yeah, get a cheesy grin for that one.]

...Hmm. There are a few places that might suit you, then; I've heard tell of a game called lastvoyages that could likely use your might. Likewise, there's capeandcowl for a situation somewhat closer to home... and I had been considering ageofmythology, there's much that can be done there.

Really, there's no shortage of options for doing good. The only trouble is picking a place, and for that you'd only need to ask yourself "How would I be happiest in doing good?"

[higherfurtherfaster]

If it was up to me I'd just go back to my life, but I guess that's not on the table.

Kind of an interesting idea though, like being able to choose an alternate universe to live in.

You don't really think you're gonna complain in this place and actually get what you want do ya?

[higherfurtherfaster]

No, but it's not like I've got anything better to do. Since someone is just letting me sit here and gather dust.

[master_of_magnet]

These mundanes are most indecisive and lackadaisical. I assure you, you are not alone in your frustration.

[higherfurtherfaster]

Wonderful.

So how do you deal with it?

[master_of_magnet]

He's got a plate in his head. That gives me a unique bit of leverage.

[higherfurtherfaster]

[That startles a laugh out of her.]

Seriously? Not too smart of him.

[master_of_magnet]

Nobody has ever accused him of being smart. Just seriously lacking in impulse control.

[higherfurtherfaster]

That must be another thing they all have in common then.

[master_of_magnet]

As far as I can tell, it is.

[higherfurtherfaster]

How long have you been stuck like this?

[master_of_magnet]

Long enough to become acclimated to this existence, but not long enough to forget what happened to Genosha.

[higherfurtherfaster]

I've noticed time is kind of fluid around here.

[master_of_magnet]

Time is very much relative. More so here than even in our own world. As time flows here, it stands still in other worlds.
