Really, now?

Voice;

[blazons]

Yes.

Voice;

[of_animalia]

I happen to know a few, believe it or not.

Assuming we're talking, like, thirteen to twenty-something and not students at Super Elementary School.

Voice;

[blazons]

I'm interested in young superhumans who are old enough to decide which path they want to take.

[his_mothers_son]

I'm sure they'll flock to meet you too.

[voice]

[blazons]

I'm not sure-- are you being sarcastic?

[voice]

[his_mothers_son]

Just a little.

[voice]

[blazons]

I don't think that's necessary.

[lady_buckethead]

Why?

[voice]

[blazons]

I want to become familiar with the population. Things are different here.

[voice]

[lady_buckethead]

How are they different?

[voice]

[blazons]

The politics. The tension is greater here. Between those who would call themselves "Avengers."

[avillainspower]

Hard at work, Coat?

Voice;

[blazons]

Always.

[ Pause. ]

Are you settling in okay?

voice; // on the assumption Chris chose the YA last night

[avillainspower]

I hope you find what you're looking for.

[ A beat. ]

It's alright. Sophie did a good job making it just like back home. Which helps. How about you?

voice/private;

[blazons]

I'm thinking a lot. There are many things ahead for you, Chris.

[more_surreal]

That's me! What would you like to know? Are you a reporter? Is this going to be published? Because if you're writing a book about me or anything, we should hash out the royalty issue first of all.

[voice]

[blazons]

I'm not a reporter. I'm an artist.

Are you a "hero" or a "villain?"

[voice]

[more_surreal]

An artist? Cool, me too! Do you do any avant-garde?

I guess you could say I'm a retired hero.

[voice]

[blazons]

I draw heroes. And villains.

[ Pause. ]

You seem young to be retired.
