Well, he's a bit confused about things...and a bit of a voice test for an old muse too

[themanoftomorrow]

Well, not that I mind chatting with you or anything, Mun, but don't you think you've got enough going on right now without adding me into the mix? Getting ready for those two trips, the other voices you've got in games. And getting back to your teaching, too.

I won't say I don't appreciate the thought, its always nice being remembered and everything. We had a lot of fun together while you were growing up, sure. And you've improved a lot since you were a teenager, and not just as a writer. Glad to see those life lessons you learned from comic books have helped. A steady hand and the will to improve do go a long way, like I told you all those years ago. Just don't forget that, and don't let yourself fall too deep into escapism. Its a trap even I've had trouble getting out of.

If you really want to send me somewhere, keep it simple though. I don't need wings, and I'd rather not be too far from Metropolis. That dream place could be alright, though I'm not sure I'd feel right wandering into other people's dreams. I know you'll make the right choice, for both of us.

Your mun is probably set in his ideas. I would advise considering what you'll do once you arrive where he sends you.

[themanoftomorrow]

Probably. But you never know who you'll met and what you'll find. Hopefully, he'll take my advice.

[braidstobows]

In your advice, be sure to consider what a dream can mean.

[Typically cryptic wording; but she knows what dreams have buried, at least in her world: memories of alternate timelines, entirely different realities.]

[flyingg]

You? Escapism? I wouldn't have guessed.

[themanoftomorrow]

Sure. Sometimes I think it'd be nice to just be a farmboy from Kansas.

[flyingg]

... sure it would have been. And you wouldn't have know what you were missing. But... can't be less than you are. Which I think you know.

[like_no_human]

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the muns don't like to keep it simple.

Don't underestimate the wings. They're actually a lot of fun.

[themanoftomorrow]

Its not the wings that get me, its the impenetrable barrier bit. At least for that game.


And yea, I don't even know. I figure I'll just roll with whatever he decides.

[viced]

Well, ah, I'm sure if they're brave enough to hold onto you, there's no way they'll make the wrong choice.

[themanoftomorrow]

Lets hope so.

[He's not sure what to make of that]

Though I get the feeling common sense is overridden at this point.

[viced]

Hey, it could be worse. I mean, wings aren't so bad, comparatively. Our players...don't listen to reason, when they get an idea in their head.

[aceofkillers]

Hey, Superman! So they roped you into this dog-an'-pony show too? [Seriously, Tommy is entirely :D about this situation.]

Still, you might wanna look out. Fella like yourself, they might try sendin' you to one of the really bad places, just so's to give you a challenge.

[themanoftomorrow]

Yea, they did.

[Boy he's happy to see you, Tommy. Real happy]

You think so? I figure he'd have more common sense than that.

[last_showdown]

You might want to think about that last one twice, Spandex Man. [...The nicknamer strikes again. 8|]

[themanoftomorrow]

And why's that?

[captainprecious]

Superman! From the sounds of it, you and your mun get along real well.

[themanoftomorrow]

Well enough. He's a somewhat reasonable guy, so it makes it hard to disagree on a lot of things.

Seems not everyone agrees with theirs though.

[plains_hunter]

Nothing's wrong with escapism when the world's a shithole, Big Blue.

[themanoftomorrow]

Right, but you've got to limit yourself too. Too much and it becomes a problem. I figured a friendly reminder to my mun wouldn't be overdoing it though.

[gonefission]

You'll have a hard time keeping the distance from home short. There's not many games out there were it's possible.

[themanoftomorrow]

Right, I get that Captain. Still, if its possible, I'd definitely like it. I've got a duty to the citizens of Metropolis, you know.

[wing_of_night]

Heh... leave it to you be encouraging even when you're voicing concern about your mun's capabilities.

[themanoftomorrow]

Helping people is what I do. I just don't want to see him overdo it.

[bodilesswarrior]

Pretty sure you'll do just fine wherever you end up.

[themanoftomorrow]

Thanks Barbara. Hope you're doing well.
