on heading to scorched

[invisibilities]

I don't want to go anywhere else. I just want to go home.

I've never even heard of a place called Anatole.

Comments

[fookinrocketscientist]

Dunno, mate. If I had to go, I'd just go like. I wouldn't be hanging around here.

Better Anatole than scraping up dog shit for the Council.

[invisibilities]

Won't we just have to get jobs there as well?

[fookinrocketscientist]

Yeah, but we can use our powers there and people won't be fucking dickheads about it.

I can get a proper job.

[invisibilities]

We could be real superheroes there. If we wanted.

[fookinrocketscientist]

Oh, yeah, right, Simon. No one would think a bunch of ASBO superheroes were loony or anything.

[invisibilities]

They wouldn't know we were young offenders. Not unless someone told them.

[ nathan......... ]

[fookinrocketscientist]

[Speaking your mind, boyo.]

Isn't Nathan coming?

[invisibilities]

I think he might be.

[ dear god. ]

It's probably good we'll keep our powers then.

[fookinrocketscientist]

Yeah? How come?

[invisibilities]

They'll probably be useful. When we first get there.

[fookinrocketscientist]

I thought you didn't want to go?

[invisibilities]

I don't. But if I do, I wouldn't want to go without my power.

[fookinrocketscientist]

You can't be a superhero, Simon. It's a shit idea. You're going to get yourself killed or something.

[invisibilities]

I can help people. We can help people.

[fookinrocketscientist]

Maybe.

[Dubious maybe is dubious.]

[invisibilities]

I'll get better at it. We already help save people.

[ kind of... ]

[fookinrocketscientist]

We killed three social workers.

[comes]

Oh, sure, just tell everyone, yeah? And you say I can't keep my mouth shut, jeeesus.

[fookinrocketscientist]

I'm talking to Simon, yeah? It's not like he didn't know.

[invisibilities]

It was an accident. Partly.

[fookinrocketscientist]

No one's going to believe we're superheroes, just like no one believes I'm a fucking rocket scientist.

[invisibilities]

They don't have to know it's us. We could have secret identities.

[offend]

Well that's not exactly up for you to decide is it, Barry?

Your mundane's holding the whip in your twisted BDSM inspired relationship. That's just the sorta thing you'd be into. Getting all down and dirty going: yes, make me suffer more.

[invisibilities]

[ nathan. ]

That's not what I want.

[offend]

Oh? So what are your kinks then? I thought you just liked it rough and leathery. Now I find your into weirder shite, I really dunno how to feel. I knew you were a pantie sniffer and that was fine, I accepted that.

[invisibilities]

I don't want to talk to you about sex, Nathan.

[offend]

Why not? I'm an expert. You should see me in action.

[invisibilities]

[ dear lord ]

I don't need a demonstration.

[comes]

Aw, c'mon Barry, don't be such a downer! It's a magical land full of tight-arses, pedophiles and qualified wankers, you'll fit right in.

[fookinrocketscientist]

What'd I tell you about dicking around with Simon?

[comes]

I'm being encouraging! It's important for them to socialize with their kind, I saw a program on Channel Four.

[fookinrocketscientist]

Fuck's sake.

[comes]

Or maybe that was sharks...

[fookinrocketscientist]

[Just this look forever, Nathan.]

[invisibilities]

I'm not any of those things.

[ 8| ]

[comes]

You don't have to live in denial. Accept yourself! You can be among your people! They'll accept you for the total cockhead you really are.

[invisibilities]

I'm not in denial, and they're not my people. They're not from the same place as us.

[comes]

D'you think you're better than them, just 'cause they don't have a storm that grants superpowers? That's racist, man!

[invisibilities]

That wasn't what I meant.

[comes]

Oh, sure, 'course it wasn't. I'll have you know, you're insulting my friends! Well, friends is a very strong word. But there's not really a word for people you're trapped in a fucked-up city with, is there? I'll tell you what, though. Some of those women.

[invisibilities]

You've been there before?

[geminated_man]

Well, really, what good is 'ome anyway? It's all just listenin' to yer mum and not bein' able to properly masturbate in private.
