All this shit is pretty above my pay grade, so it's not like I'm speaking from experience here or anything, but it seems like we got a crazy ass mix of folks around here.  I don't think I've ever seen so many aliens in m life and I come from a world where those guys are all over the freakin' place.

Though I gotta say, it's freakin' weird to be around a bunch of people who've never heard of Kryptonians before. [Just.  Throwing that word out there.  Vaguely hopeful.]

Anyway.  It's late, I'm bored.  We've got a shit load of aliens and sword and sorcery types up in here.  Tell me somethin' good about your world.  Or tell me something shitty, we can swap horror stories.

[It's late at night, which means it's time for punks in masks asking bullshit questions on the network to keep themselves from broody navel gazing.  Not sleeping is kind of a thing for him, but this not brutalizing strangers who really deserve it thing is kinda new and borderline unpleasant.  Feel free to spot a brightly colored spot skulking around rooftops.]

Not really. It made it easier for gangs to control the flow of goods and money.

[livinuptothename]

Figures. Gang shit is the worst.

[urnotafraid]

It could've been worse. Most of the big gangs at least tried to keep things normal for everyone else.

[livinuptothename]

Gangs trying to help people. That's a good one.

[urnotafraid]

The cops were worse then the gangs.

[livinuptothename]

Yeah, well. Cops are the same all over. Never met a gang that did anybody any kind of good.

[urnotafraid]

Fighting too much means there would never be any profit. You gotta keep things clean to make sure people want to be in your district, you gotta make sure there are no little gangs out there hurting them cuz a scared group of people will not work as hard as a secure group of people. It's just logic.

[ Hi I was a mob boss and I ran a pretty nice little district that was growing into a nice place for families to live in. ]

The cops I knew were worse in the gangs cuz they thought their badges meant they could take whatever they wanted. My guys had more respect for people than to do that.

[livinuptothename]

[ The concept of nice gangs is still kinda mind boggling.]

You were a boss?

[urnotafraid]

Yeah. Ran a whole district in Mallepa.

[livinuptothename]

You were one of those nice bosses, huh.

[urnotafraid]

At the end of the day, it was just business.

[livinuptothename]

Yeah and everybody who says that is usually in the wrong kind.

[urnotafraid]

At least I never had four mansions and a couple Swiss accounts like some of the big CEOs did.

[livinuptothename]

Okay, yeah, those guys are always assholes.

[urnotafraid]

That they are.
