☂ 21; seven boys and girls are we

[is_an_island]

Nobody play hero.

I mean it. I don't care if you have a hero complex the size of your head, but if you're smart, then you'll be staying inside. That being said, if anybody needs any help, you're free to contact me. Ring me up, knock me up, I don't care. I'll help. What's that overwrought saying? It's times like these that we need to pull together

Took the words right out of my mouth. Too bad no one is going to listen most likely.

[is_an_island]

They're all idiots. Rushing left and right at every damsel in distress. Everybody's a hero and nobody survives.

[fatesjanitor]

Everyone likes being the knight on the white horse.

But, a lot of these people come from worlds where they are great heroes. Guess they still haven't realized that in Mayfield they're just lab rats like the rest of us.

[is_an_island]

... Am I talking to an actual lab rat?

[fatesjanitor]

Am I talking to an actual lab rat?

We're all lab rats here, like it or not. Metaphorically of course.

[is_an_island]

Well, yes, but I'm actually a country. Not a physical rat.

Are you a rat? I mean, I don't mind.

[fatesjanitor]

I never met a country before. Must be exciting. [He'll just take it as he's the spirit of a country or something like that.]

I'm not a rat. I'm [well technically a Counter Guardian, but for now-] just a regular human.

[is_an_island]

Been here long, then?

[fatesjanitor]

Am I really fitting in so well? I only came here Monday.

[is_an_island]

You certainly came at a pleasant time.

[fatesjanitor]

I never was too lucky. [No, really. His luck stat is a crummy E] Mayfield isn't this excitable on a regular bases, is it?

[is_an_island]

Well, it's usually death and doom, but not to this extent, no.

How are you fitting in?

[fatesjanitor]

I'm use to it either way.

Not having my abilities is rather discomforting, but besides all this madness I can't complain. I went through my first 'droning' just a couple days ago too, when Grady was knocking on all the doors. Must have been stressed to do it just because I slammed the door.

[is_an_island]

He doesn't appear to be in a happy mood, no.

What abilities did you have?

[fatesjanitor]

Mayfield really does hate Russians. Just like a stereotypical American town should in this era.

A few - the only one I care about is something I call projection.

[is_an_island]

Well, I don't particularly like Russia, either.

I presume projection is an illusion, or some sordid business likewise?
