Voice-Testing the Man of Steel

[big_blue_boyscout]

It's alright, it's natural to be nervous. It'll pass though, trust me.

[Nervous? You?]

Believe it or not, it happens. The first time I put on the costume, I was afraid people were going to think I was some sort of alien menace, and hate me because I was different, and fear me because of my powers. But sometimes people surprise you in a good way. You've got to have faith in that sometimes.

Boo!

[lexluxor]

My mun really perked up when she saw you.

*bows*

[big_blue_boyscout]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing.

[Could be both, really.]

*clap clap* bravo

[whiteblackknight]

Oh yeah? I think my debut was an awkward scene and the mun felt it. S/he always thinks "guy with white hair? PRETTY BOY!" (how surprised they usually are).

I've been on stage as a literal clown before. I'd long forgotten what it was like to be so embarrassed as to hesitate.

Although I know the mun gets it every time he brings someone else along. And yet, it's always with wonderment and not dislike. Crazy, right? To expect the worst and get the best.

Thanks =3

[big_blue_boyscout]

It's a welcome surprise to say the least.I think the mun is getting that feeling right about now.

[whiteblackknight]

I just hope this doesn't give him/her any crazy ideas now.

...

The hair is natural, by the way. Not dyed at least.

[legally_blonde]

Alien menace? Now why would anyone think that?

[big_blue_boyscout]

Who knows what people are going to think when they see someone fly. Sometimes people are afraid of things that are different.

[legally_blonde]

Oh, that's silly! People can't fly!

[Pffft you're funny, Mr. Tall, Not-so-dark, and Handsome.]

Well, 'less they're shot out of a canon at the circus, I s'pose.

"Well, you can be a pretty intimidating fellow to play and play well. I guess some folk find you're too simple or idealistic, but we kinda need simple and idealistic. The world's too full of darkness and cynicism, and it teaches us to accept things that shouldn't be accepted."

"Besides, sir, the version of you in my 'verse has been good to Kon, and I thank him for that."

Oh Hai Jess. Guess who?

[big_blue_boyscout]

My mun was thinking more or less the same about that. He's a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to his writing, so he was worried that his take wouldn't live up to the standards he set himself, let alone what other people think. I think he's getting the idea that he's doing just fine.

It's good to hear that. A lot of places seem to have things tough on Kon, so I'm glad to hear that he's got a version of me who's there for him.

Gavin, maybe. He does like his idealists

[hippie_shifter]

"Practice and knowing who you're dealing with are the only thing that help. Besides, you can't be the hardest fellow to play. Donna's got a past that's all shades of snarled up. Raven's got some real baggage from her dad being a demon. Joey talks in ASL, and his dad's a demon of the more mundane sort. And that's before you start tinkering with alternate timelines."

[itsspacetime]

...wait, you're an alien, mister?

[big_blue_boyscout]

Yes, but Earth is my home. I may not have been born here, but I was raised here.

[itsspacetime]

[There's a poignant pause before Gen grins widely, and shoves a hand out for a handshake.]

That... Is AWESOME! Oh man, Kengo and Yuuki are gonna be so jealous!

[cap_a]

It's through our differences that we are strong, sir. If you're here to help, then your help will always be welcome.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Hmm. I like that.

It's a pleasure to meet you Captain. I've heard a lot about you.

[Offers a handshake.]

[cap_a]

*shakes hand* The pleasure's mine. Not everyone stands up for what they believe in.

[bodilesswarrior]

That's because you ooze altruism. I think it's one of your powers.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Heh, maybe. That'd be a new one, for sure.

[by_lois_lane]

Making friends all over, huh? Not really a surprise, just don't forget the ones you already have.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Like I could if I wanted to.

[cheerupemoborg]

Then sometimes they surprise you in a bad way.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Sometimes. But when they do, they want to help ...

[seethemoon]

Sometimes they surprise you in a bad way.

[Bitter? baby Superboy? Never.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

Sometimes.

It's good to see you, Kon.
