On potentially apping at capeandcowl

[wiccan]

Look, you have a lot on your plate right now, so maybe hold off a bit? If someone "gets there first" it's not a big deal.

It's not like I'm really itching to go, or anything.

From what little I know, I would expect more enthusiasm.

[wiccan]

Enthusiasm? Being stuck in a strange city without my team or my boyfriend? I don't know...

[dusk_and_dawn]

I thought that place held some you might admire? Though that does explain your complaints.

[wiccan]

W-well sure! But so does home! I'd rather just be at home, in familiar surroundings...

I mean, it might be fun sometimes! But it's also...well I don't know, look at the place.

[dusk_and_dawn]

I am not that familiar with it. But it does seem a great many of these places are full of tortures, and you are a bit young bear them.

Do you think your mun can be persuaded?

[wiccan]

Um...I don't know. Once he sets his mind to something, it's hard to make him see reason.

He's going back and forth between me and someone else though so maybe I'll get away! Or maybe I won't end up alone if I go there...

[dusk_and_dawn]

'Tis true that your presence would tempt more mundanes into sending your friends there. But that may be the worst of circumstances in itself, if this place is as noxious to you as it seems.

I would advise you affix something shiny to his other prospect.

[plains_hunter]

Sounds like a fun place.

[wiccan]

That totally depends on your definition of "fun"...

[wiccan]

That's a really good idea! Just convince him that the other guy is WAY more worth his attention! Ha! Thanks.

[plains_hunter]

Guess that's a too subjective of a word. "Exciting", perhaps.

[wiccan]

I think that might be a better adjective, though not all the excitement there is the good kind...

[plains_hunter]

I tend to like variety, myself.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Understand that I only advise it because you are a youth with less in the way of survival capabilities. [Because selling out the other guy is generally Not Okay.]

[wiccan]

Well, sure, but do you like being hated by the citizens of somewhere and like having supervillains mess things up all the time?

[wiccan]

[ He thinks for a minute. ]

Well, when you put it THAT way...

Actually, I'm a better choice. I mean, I can take care of myself, and I can help people, and the other guy doesn't have powers or anything, and we're the same age, so...

Man. I guess I'll suck it up.

[dusk_and_dawn]

[Have a silent manly back pat.]

You are a good lad.

[wiccan]

[ He forces a half-smile. ]

Thanks. I try, at least.

And I guess you're right, I mean, there ARE people there it would be cool to talk to...

[forcedreset]

Ah, but think of how exciting it may be! What of your alternative? Idleness?

[plains_hunter]

Being hated is pretty much my default state.

[wiccan]

I seriously don't think my idea of "exciting" and yours are even sort of the same.

[wiccan]

Doesn't that suck, though?

[plains_hunter]

A lot of things in life suck. I've made my choices.

[forcedreset]

Fair enough. But still, I envy you! Something is always preferable to nothing.

[wiccan]

Who makes a CHOICE to be hated?
