Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Shayuri]

Viridian starts to follow Megan, and almost bumps into Apollo. She steps back, startled, then squints in dawning recognition.

"Wow, you're a super? And you work with the Trust? Small world."

She offers a hand, but looks out the door. "I'm sorry...I don't want to be rude, but she's having a rough time right now. Welcome to the team!"

With that, she slips past and jogs after Star. Of course, she doesn't even try to keep up, but she heads to Shooting Star's room and knocks, hoping to find her there.

She offers a hand, but looks out the door. "I'm sorry...I don't want to be rude, but she's having a rough time right now. Welcome to the team!"

Apollo is too slow to take the hand before she is gone, he watches her go a little confused. Not so much that she is concerned about her companion, but that she so easily dismisses him without much prologue or trepidation; it is an odd feeling, something he has not felt in a long time. It’s oddly humbling and frustrating to be among individuals that could be his peers.

He visibly shrugs and looks back at the others, “Thanks,” he says long after she disappears from sight.

Well, I was going to clean up before eating, but...
Megan checks to see who it it, then opens the door for Viridian. "Hey. I guess running away was somewhat dumb, but it was getting to be a bit much dealing with everyone at once. Umm, thanks for coming by."

“By the way I have to agree with Viridian, there is a fine line between encouraging and lecturing… I suppose that was Star?” Apollo asks.

Hope chuckled ruefully. "Yeah. She had a close call and it's screwing her up pretty badly at the moment." her expression darkened in anger for a moment, before she managed to put it away. "It... pissed me off. No one likes it when a team-mate gets hurt. Even if we do snipe at each other, there still is that, even if she won't acknowledge it."

Apollo nods, "Yeah I guess I understand."

Apollo nods, "Yeah I guess I understand."

Hope's mouth twitched into something resembling a smile. "I just wish she would,"

She shook herself. "In any case, I was going to head down to interrogation to help Wren. Wanna come?" she asked and rethought it.

"On second thought. I'm not exactly in the best state of mind at the moment. If I went down there I'd do more harm then good." she admitted reluctantly. "If you want, I can show you the wing we use here," she said, using him as a... distraction from the urge to go plant her fist in Red's and the other prisoners faces.

Anyone still left in the infirmery by now would know her well enough to realize that and even Apollo would probably be able to figure that out, given her previous statements.

ooc:
Matt do we get any PP or HP for what we did during that fight? Or how do you award such things?

"Wasn't dumb at all," Viridian demurs. "It was crowded in there, and people were getting in your face. I'd have left too. If you want to be alone, that's fine...but I thought maybe... Well, I thought you might like to have someone to talk to. Without an entire peanut gallery standing around, I mean."

"I appreciate it. She really bothers me, you know?" she says sourly. "Nearly dying is something I can accept, but having my flying taken away like that - even if it was just for a second - just doesn't sit well with me."

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian comes in and closes the door behind her. She looks for a chair to sit in, or failing that, sits on the bed.

"She meant well...Hope's just been doing this for a long time, I think. It seems like she's forgotten what it's like to be newer to all this. And it doesn't help that she's very...aggressive, to the point of being overbearing."

She smiles.

"Anyway, I can sympathize. Losing my powers would be awful. Maybe even worse, really. You can lose flying, but still shoot plasma...but I really only have one power. Magic. Take that away, and all the spells in the world won't do anything for me."

Viridian sighs and looks up at the ceiling.

"It's weird to think, but just a week ago or so, this was mostly a hobby. Something I did when I was done with homework or on weekends. Now I've missed days of school...I'm probably all kinds of behind...because I'm busy helping to save the world. Which is cool and all, but sometimes it'd be nice to just be me again."

"Do you ever feel that way?"

"I guess..." She still seems skeptical of Hope.

"I don't remember the exact explanation, but my flying is some sort of energy manipulation too. There are definitely ways to mess with both of my powers at once, since I've run into someone that can do much worse than just turn them off."

"Plus I love to fly. It's an escape both literally and mentally, so I really don't like things messing it up and tainting that."

Viridian sighs and looks up at the ceiling.

"Do you ever feel that way?"

Megan squirms, "Well.." Do I really want to talk about this? Well, she'll probably find out anyway eventually, and I'd rather be one. Plus I like her. "I got my powers when I was eight; I can barely remember not having them. Trying to be normal and going to school isn't really me either. It's hard to remember not to move so fast that I blur or that I need to at least look like I'm supporting my weight on something all the time I'm not at home."

"I'm already years behind on schooling, so a few days doesn't seem to matter. Plus I was thinking of quitting anyway."
