video; dated to after everyone gets back from uruguay

( well, that was - something. fifteen is not an age he'd ever wanted to experience again for a number of reasons, all of which stand out vividly in mind right now. there was so much he didn't know then, driven by a raw need for revenge and to get his answers, still hanging on mr maverick's every word. he wasn't happier then but things were simpler then, more cut and dry, and he was more certain of things than he may ever be now.

he sighs before he can stop himself, offering the feed a long-suffering expression. )

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me ( there's a slight stress on the last word ) in the last two weeks as I was getting reacquainted with living here - especially since I wasn't particularly easy to deal with, at that age. Presumably, everyone's aware that disruptions like this are difficult to predict or control, but if anyone would still like an apology for my behavior, I can't say it wouldn't be deserved.

( kate..... )

That's good to know. I suppose some rudeness isn't unexpected from a teenager.

[gevurah]

[ non.... ]

Especially one looking for something specific.

Did you ever find him?

[ex_bandai157]

Yes and no. That search is over with, in any case.

[gevurah]

Satisfied?

[ex_bandai157]

I suppose it'd be pointless to try to find out who's asking.

[gevurah]

Think hard.

[ex_bandai157]

It's been a while since I had a secret admirer.

( he can't help himself sometimes )

[gevurah]

You're not my type.

[ex_bandai157]

I have to admit that I didn't think I'd seem very interesting to you.

[gevurah]

Hero.

That's what you called yourself.

[ex_bandai157]

Yes, that's right. That was my occupation in Sternbild.

[gevurah]

Is it no longer here?

[ex_bandai157]

Police isn't quite the same thing.

[gevurah]

To many, they're considered heroes.

[ex_bandai157]

Most definitely. It seems I wasn't clear the last time we met. Being a "Hero" is an occupation, not me being particularly self-congratulatory.

[gevurah]

I know.

[ comics y'all. ]

[ex_bandai157]

( WELL FINE )

Then what are you curious about?

[gevurah]

It's interesting that across the universes superheroes exist, I find.

[ she doesn't know if there's some kind of connection, yet. maybe. ]

[ex_bandai157]

That's true. Though admittedly, it's more surprising to me when they don't.

[gevurah]

How long have you been here?

[ex_bandai157]

A little more than six months, now.

[gevurah]

Quite some time.

[ex_bandai157]

Longer than I expected to be here, but not as long as some.

[gevurah]

Everyone says that.

[ EVERYONE'S SO WEIRDLY MODEST ABOUT IT... even her. ]

[ex_bandai157]

That's true. I suppose hearing about people who've been here twice as long puts it in perspective.
