Muse has a question

[tora_olafsdotter]

Um, Miss Mun...

I keep hearing about it, what is angst?


[Oh, oh Tora, sweetheart. You don't want to know about angst.]

Everybody seems to have it. Do I want some?

[No honey, you don't]

But..is it tasty? Is it pretty? If so many people like it why wouldn't I?

[Tora, this is why I love you. But you're not getting angst.]

Ok, Miss Mun.

Then can I have ice cream and hot cocoa instead?

Dear gods she is such a cutie XD

[best_intel]

Angst is sort of an emotional state, characterized by depression and something going wrong in the person who is feel it's life.

So no, you really don't want it.

She is, it's truly why I adore her

[tora_olafsdotter]

Oh, well that doesn't sound good at all.

Why do so many people like it if it is so bad? Why would people want to be sad and unhappy?

The contrast is a bit funny since Hnaef here is a bit more business-like

[best_intel]

When it comes to stories people enjoy angst sometimes feel necessary for a good story I guess.

She is pretty much the heart of goodness and light.

[tora_olafsdotter]

Hmm, I guess maybe. I mean Guy likes to be angry sometimes and Bea likes to stir up trouble.

Oh godh, I don't mean that to sound bad! They are both wonderful people! I don't think they like angst but they do things sometimes.

I guess I just don't understand it for me, maybe it makes sense for others. Everyone is different.

Hnaef is, well like a villain version of Oracle in a sense XD

[best_intel]

You're definitely different.

[He extends his hand.]

I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Hnaef

[8x10s_on_request]

Tora, I don't know that you could angst if you tried.

[tora_olafsdotter]

Booster!

[Have a happy Tora hug!]

I'm sure I could if I really tried. But why would I want to?

[8x10s_on_request]

[Have a Booster hug! See how his hands aren't going anywhere they shouldn't be! If this was Bea, they might, but not Tora!]

You wouldn't. Angst is for chumps and Marvel characters.

[tora_olafsdotter]

[Booster hugs are great. She likes them, she has no idea why Bea always snickers about them.]

Marvel? OH! I met a nice ice guy from Marvel! His name was Bobby and he had ice powers too! He was called Iceman...but I guess that makes sense with all the ice in there.

[8x10s_on_request]

Kinda on the nose, isn't it? Now, Booster Gold, there's a name.

[olympic_lion]

Well, some Marvel characters.

We lack a caped brooder constantly yelling about his dead parents to soak up all the angst for us, after all.

[tora_olafsdotter]

Hello!

[She smiled at him and went quiet for a moment.]


Ooooooh you mean Batman! I think he's just sad a lot, Guy thinks.... well Guy thinks something else.

[But she can't say what he thinks because it's pretty rude and involves sticks in uncomfortable places.]

[can_fall_no_lower]

[His eyes go from brown to an amused green - and immediately to an alarmed gold at the thought of a mun putting someone this nice through the usual rounds of angst everyone here seems to get.]

Angst is another word for suffering. Mental pain and anguish, in particular. You most certainly do not want any, Miss.

[Someone has to tell her, it might as well be him. Although he does squint at her, wondering if she's human or not.]

[tora_olafsdotter]

Hello!

[A cheery greeting for so dark and dire a subject, but she listens and cocks her head to the side in consideration.]

No, I think I'd rather have ice cream.

[She is not, point of fact. But then again how many people would know a Norwegian demigoddess on sight?]

Oh God she's adorable.

[can_fall_no_lower]

What exactly is 'ice cream'?

[His eyes shift back to blue. It's hard to be aloof like he normally is when he's greeted by someone so... cute. Disarming. White hair is wholly unheard of on his planet, though, so he's still half-convinced she's human.]

Tora is a ball of cute and happy in a dark world.

[tora_olafsdotter]

It's wonderful! Frozen sweet cream and sugar mixed with chocolate or fruit or mint or..well anything really. It's delicious!

I can't make it though. [She seemed deeply saddened by that.]

But I can make snocones!

I have the urge to hug her. And I don't even know her canon.

[can_fall_no_lower]

It sounds a bit sweet for my tastes. What's a 'snocone'?

[olympic_lion]

It's a trouble best saved for mortals, fair Tora. Cocoa and hugs would suit you far better!

totally relevant.

[tora_olafsdotter]

[She beamed a smile at the big man, who reminded her more than passingly of a dark haired Guy ...on a good day...when he was being nice.]

I love cocoa and hugs!

So now they should throw snowballs at each other too? I'm good with that!

[olympic_lion]

Well, I may lack the cocoa but...

[Beware, Tora, for now he intends to HUG! No big thing between demigods, right? Even if their pantheons should get together more often... Say, for a softball match, because a sight like that would be simply divine.]

What...OH!

[What big arms you have and a burly chest! She giggled and threw her arms out calling forth a light fall of thick fluffy snow.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

Angst is--[He knows his mun wants him to say, "Like Bruce when he's badly written", but that's a little mean for Clark.] It's when someone is depressed, and wondering what went wrong with their life, and are too focused on how bad their situation is to try and fix it.

[tora_olafsdotter]

Superman!

[Ohh all the blushing and one arm held the elbow of the other behind her back. She bit her lip and tried not to giggle or sigh or say something equally foolish. Apparently that crush was still working.]

Well that's awful, people should always try to make things better. At least in their own lives if not the world.

[big_blue_boyscout]

[He can see that ... no wonder Guy always scowls at him whenever they meet.]

My thoughts exactly. But sometimes people have trouble past their own problems, at least until they have a little help getting back on their feet.

[tora_olafsdotter]

That's what we're here for! Global Guardians, JLI, JLA JSA...gosh just everybody!

Well ok some of the folks in Gotham aren't so much, but I'm sure they try!
