[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 1056363, member: 184"] Anika ponders that for a moment. [COLOR=burlywood]Does that bug you at all? If we make this team, we're basically going to become corperate lackeys...maybe slaves would be a better word. That dumb suit doesn't see us as people, just dollar signs and ratings numbers. We'll probably get used in ways we don't like, made to do things we don't want, and get tossed aside when we're no longer useful. Sounds like fun,"[/color] she deadpans. [COLOR=burlywood]"At least we'll get to help people. My dad got rich entertaining people, but he never really made a difference. I want to make a difference."[/COLOR] Anika's brow furls somewhat at this. [COLOR=burlywood]"No, that's not what I meant...it's just...I dunno, nevermind,"[/COLOR] she says, looking a bit frustrated. [COLOR=burlywood]"Yeah, I guess. I was kinda scared through the whole thing, especially when Chaos started messing with it, so I know I wasn't a very good teammate. I guess it'll get easier once we get used to risking our lives,"[/COLOR] she says, shaking her head. Anika's eyes light up as thought comes to her. [COLOR=burlywood]"Guess what? Tommy's going to try and get Mark to take Star to the dance! Can you even imagine that? I can't see anything short of blackmail getting that to go,"[/COLOR] she says with a bit of a giggle. Her face quickly turns sombre, however. [COLOR=burlywood]"Poor Star. I hope she gets to go. She's actually pretty cool. Hey, if the restriction does end up getting lifted, her and I were going to go shopping at the mall for something to wear to the dance. You wanna come? We could even drag Mark along."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
