I think everybody wants to be the hero. Sometimes they don't let you. They think you aren't good enough; like you're unworthy. They think you're the villain, and really, villain is the next best thing.

Because at least you're there. And at least they notice you.

But you didn't hear that from me.

I played the villian part, too, for a bit. I don't know if it's the next best thing. I'd rather've been invisible than have to've lived through what I did.

But, I suppose, that at least when their eyes're on you, at least they'll see when you do something right.

And, mum's the word.

No, they won't. Not a fucking chance. They see what they want and that's that.

You don't think that if you did something you can't interpret as anything but good that people aren't going to notice?

*in a very small voice* You do help people, Jimmy. A lot.

*smiling nervously* And being a superhero? Not all it's cracked up to be. 'Specially when you can't even fly.

Re: meta, I guess the_calcium_tm May 17 2006, 06:17:51 UTC

Yeah. But've found punching through walls's a bit brilliant, really.

And... thanks, yeah? *smiles back* Someone could say the same right back to you, truly. You do help people, Buffy. A lot.

It is kinda funny, that ability. Also, breaking doorknobs. Great for getting you into locked rooms. It's a good thing we're not using our powers for evil, huh?

*ducks her head and smiles self-consciously* Sometimes, yeah. I do okay. More, now, I hope. For awhile I was -- more now.

Re: meta, I guess the_calcium_tm May 17 2006, 17:27:03 UTC

Oh, yeah. Good'd have its knees quaking if it saw the way I can down a pint of two percent.

*lifts her chin a bit with a friendly knuckle* Much more now, I hope, yeah?

Good to hear it, Orlando.
