[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5729262, member: 4936"] Between his styrofoam container of pad thai and the awesome day, Daniel could have been in Heaven itself. He was perched on one of the wire chairs in the outdoors eating area of [i]'Jacket and Thai - Far East Eats'[/i], taking occasional forkfuls of mildly spicy noodles as he avidly worked on a cover design for a new project he wanted to pitch to [i]Paragons[/i] comics, a fairly popular "quasi-indie" publisher that was based in Emerald City. And if he was basing the main character off his own abilities, well, what was the harm in that? The best art was inspired by reality, wasn't it? ... Okay, maybe that didn't apply to superhero comics as much, and he had to admit that having a published character under his name might put a crimp in any real crimefighting that he might, or might not, do. Hard to keep family safe if all a bad guy had to do was buy a current issue and read the byline. But it was fun to dream. And he wasn't absolutely sure if he wanted to go the hero route. It wasn't that he didn't [i]want[/i] to. Hell, it was every comic geek's dream! And his experiments had shown that the 'plasm' he created was up to the job, or at least SHOULD be. But he wasn't as sure about how it would handle super villains. And that gave him pause. He'd need a lot more than ghostly shapes and a resilient 'shell' to protect him. Did he have the raw power to take down something superhuman? And if he did, could he DO it? He'd never hit another person in his life. Even the stupid martial arts class he'd taken hadn't really had people hitting each other. Daniel sighed unhappily and looked at his sketched cover design. Visage looked back up at him, swathed in thick smoke, blank eyes staring out of his 'mask' with vengeance and righteous rage as fists coalesced around him to administer an almighty beatdown on the forces of evil. Things were so much simpler when they weren't real. He put down his pencil and eraser and looked around, doing a little peoplewatching as he finished his pad thai and tried to clear his head.
