Ahhh...that was a great weekend. I forgot how liberating it is being a kid. Kids are awesome

I am offended at the implication that growing up to be the Spirit is somehow an unfavourable career choice. The cat was clearly doing you a favour.

[manofgnee]

Being the Spirit is indeed an excellent career...however, the rest of that stuff was sort of unnecessary...but of course, you were just having fun. It's ok. I had fun too.

[prefers_chess]

Why do you immediately assume I was the cat in question?

[manofgnee]

You talk like him.

[prefers_chess]

Circumstantial evidence at best. Perhaps it's better you're not attempting to grow up to be the Spirit after all.

[manofgnee]

Mean.

And I got a job that's just as good!

[prefers_chess]

So in other words, you couldn't live up to being the Spirit, so you settled.

[manofgnee]

...yeah. But you don't have to put it like that...

[prefers_chess]

You would rather I lie?

[manofgnee]

Maybe to little me, anyway. And I tried, I did...I just investigate paranormal stuff now. Try to help people, human or otherwise, with their problems. Stop bad guys, save the day...

But it's not exactly easy, and I screw up. So, yeah, I guess I don't do the Spirit justice.

[prefers_chess]

Ah. A philanthropist.

On the bright side, that means you're already well on your way to becoming Bruce Wayne.

[manofgnee]

...Heh. Yeah...guess I am. Dead parents, life changing encounter with the enemy...everything.

[prefers_chess]

[Siiiiiiigh. Jeez, Hanna, he doesn't do sympathy.]

You get a cape and a utility belt.

[manofgnee]

True.

[prefers_chess]

And the gratitude of millions of downtrodden citizens desperate for a ray of hope and light in the darkness.

[manofgnee]

...Heh.

I am a terrible ray of hope in the darkness, man.
