Trying out a new muse.

[an_abomination]

Yeah, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people who'd rather not see me around. Welcome to the story of my life. No one wants to tell me the truth and just about every girl I've met wants to kill me.

Maybe I should go back to setting Christmas trees on fire. People might have freaked out them but at least they didn't zoom away from me like I was the plague.

Who drops that kind of bomb on a guy and then leaves without answering a single question?

[peektuttut]

I didn't say it would be easy...but you might want to actually say it.

[an_abomination]

[But words are hard.]I will, as soon as he cuts the crap about spoon-feeding.

[peektuttut]

[Tim is verrrry familiar with this feeling.] Other-me does kind of sound like a jerk.

...Then again, if you did what he says...[He's just glad Connor was almost always on their side. The one time he wasn't went so badly.]

[an_abomination]

Yeah, he does.

[Pauses and looks thoughtful.]

But you know what I don't get? He's not a metahuman, he could step away from everything and be left alone. Most humans I've met seem to hate metahumans. Red Robin on the other hand, has set up a whole information network to help out metahumans and he risked his life for them.

Sorry! I was mid-move, it cut own on everthing. :c

[peektuttut]

[That gets the tiniest of smiles from Tim, and he shrugs one shoulder.] Maybe we're not so different, then. It's the right thing to do, Superboy. That's all there is to it.

No problem, hope the move went well!

[an_abomination]

[Thinks this over.] It's because of empathy, right? You might not be in the same situation someone else is in but you can still feel for them?

It did, thanks! c:

[peektuttut]

[Tim nods slowly, mulling it over.] Yeah, that's a big part of it. I can't just stand by and watch people be oppressed, metahuman or not.

[an_abomination]

[Look at him starting to get a grip on this whole sentient emotion thing.]

Not even me. My mun got my newest issue and it sounds like my quest for answers doesn't go well. Apparently you guys are going to bail me out of some trouble.

[peektuttut]

...Now my mun wants to check it out. But that's what I'd expect them to do, anyway. If they're even a little like the people I grew up with, they'd help you.

[an_abomination]

My mun seems to really be enjoying it and is excited for the next issue when you guys show up. Apparently there's something about dinosaurs too. [Looks a little confused.]

If there's one thing I've learned about humans so far, it's that you guys believe anything is possible, right?

[peektuttut]

...Dinosaurs. You know, it's almost upsetting, how unsurprised I am. So yeah, I guess you could say we all like to believe that.

[an_abomination]

You must live some kind of life if dinosaurs don't surprise you.

[peektuttut]

[He snorts.] We played baseball with aliens who were trained to surrender to anyone wearing red and green. It's been interesting.

[an_abomination]

Sounds like it. I can only imagine what an exciting day must be like for you.

[peektuttut]

Bad, more often than not. I try to avoid the exciting ones.

[an_abomination]

My life is starting to become like that too.

At least things aren't so bad here.

[peektuttut]

I don't mind coming here. Usually it's calm, but you know what they say about 'just when you thought it was safe to swim again.'

...Or I guess, maybe you don't.

[an_abomination]

[Yeaaah, blank look at that one. He hasn't read anything about that.]

Does your mun ever send you to that one place with all of the "memes" or whatever they are?

[peektuttut]

[Eh, there is plenty of time to learn. Tim's not good on pop culture lessons, anyway. :c]

Yeah, sometimes. Some of her others go more often, but I've been there. You get thrown in a lot?

[an_abomination]

[Any chance the Barge has "I Love the ___s"?]

Same, it depends on what meme it is. There are some she throws a bunch into and I go to the occasional one. They are her guilty pleasures or something.

[peektuttut]

[I do not know what that is. :c]

That sounds familiar.

[an_abomination]

[I love the 80s/90s/etc on VH1. It's an entire decade of popculture in a handful of episodes, filled with lulz.]

Muns have too much time on their hands sometimes. Some of the ones she's eyed ...[has a look on his face that says he doesn't approve too much.] But there's been one that's been nice.

[peektuttut]

[Lol I have not heard of one, but that sounds lulzy. :c]

Which? I tend to get the low end of the spectrum.

[an_abomination]

[Looks and sounds a little awkward.] It was one of those "fluff" memes.

[peektuttut]

[Identical awkward.] Oh. Yeah. Been there.
