[ So here's Jesse and Collette, grinning stupidly at the camera and looking like they've got a plan up their sleeves. Jesse's the first to speak, rubbing his hands together excitedly: ]

Okay, so like... I heard there's superheroes here. Like real, bona fide superheroes. Costumes and everything. And, like, where I come from, you know, we don’t really got superheroes except in stories. So we were thinking it'd be real cool...

[ Collette glances at Jesse, then to the camera. She blurts out something that surely will never ever cause immense embarrassment once she learns the extent of the super heroes she's been around (discounting Barnaby and Kotetsu, who are weird anyway): ]

... If we could meet a few of you in person, and maybe even get an autograph!

Nope! Though supernatural abilities are really cool. I guess they're the people who step up to take on the big, scary ideas, or who put everything out there even if the payoff isn't much more than satisfaction in knowing you've done right. Kind of outside the law, if working with it, 'cause the things they do really aren't covered in the law=books.

The kind of people that'd drive Miles Edgeworth totally batty because they uphold truth and justice, but in a different way than he does!

So no, not about supernatural abilities... but maybe supernatural stubbornness to keep doing something dangerous for the sake of other people. Waaaay past when most people would be like no! I've had enough! Not that they can't retire... or something like that.

[She smirks a bit at that.] Supernatural stubbornness, huh? [That's an interesting way to put it, actually. And it fits Robin quite well.]

[Wait.] ...You're saying Miles doesn't like superheroes?

[whatsupcroc]

Hahah! No, I have no idea. I think he'd just frown at people taking the law a little liberally. He'd love what they do. Hmm... maybe he'd actually be jealous! He's really harsh on the idea of crime. Not all that forgiving about it, either.

( Jesse please don't understand all this means, later. )

[feel_nevermore]

I see. Well as long as superheroes bring villains to justice, it should be fine with him.

[whatsupcroc]

Mmm! And as long as the collateral damage is containable.

[feel_nevermore]

...Most of the time.

[whatsupcroc]

( She holds up her hand and see-saws it. )

Sometimes there's not so much you can do.

[feel_nevermore]

Yeah. [Sometimes it quickly gets out of hand.]

[whatsupcroc]

It's not really an "at all stakes" game all the time, though, is it? Though I guess it's always supposed to be as if the world's ending... I used to think that was just for the dramatics!

[feel_nevermore]

It's not a game. And it's not only for the dramatics. [Not as far as Raven's concerned, at least.]

[whatsupcroc]

( She just smiles a little -- poor wordchoice aside, she doesn't find a reason to reiterate what Raven's already said. )

It is on television. Sometimes even in real life, though that has real stakes tied up in what you do.

[feel_nevermore]

On television, huh?

[For her it's always in real life, Colette.]

[whatsupcroc]

On television everything's for the dramatics.

[feel_nevermore]

Or so it seems. ...I've never been fond of television.

[whatsupcroc]

I like it best for the sports stuff. Skateboarding, the olympics, the X-Games... stuff like that! The rest, not so much. What are you fond of?

[feel_nevermore]

Books.

[whatsupcroc]

Which kind?

[feel_nevermore]

Any kind. Pretty much.

[Yes, she's a bookworm.]

I have low tolerance for silly stories. Printed or not.

[whatsupcroc]

You've got to love being here, then.

( Just a bit of a smile. This whole place? Yeah. Counts as a silly story in a lot of ways to Collette. There are many elements of the silly and ridiculous involved. )

[feel_nevermore]

Like you can't even imagine.

[Even if the presence of some people makes it better but she's not going to admit that.]
