2/23 Text

[argone]

Kara Ellis shared a photo. 2/23 near Recolle U.

So Retrospec sent me a cape. Weird, huh? Had a little fun with Photoshop since it makes me feel like some sort of hero, and it's definitely an upgrade from the towels I wore as a kid. Has anyone else gotten something like this? It feels way, way more significant than just a bit of cloth, but hell if I know why.

[ooc: the photoshopped outfit is just a generic skintight blue. Ignore the big S!]

No kidding. Do you think we knew each other? That'd be a hell of a coincidence.

Any idea who he was? The getup screams superhero, and I get the feeling he was ... incredibly important, somehow.

[argone]

Maybe.
But this guy? well. I think maybe he's important too.
Really, really significant. Like, maybe the head hero.

He was kind of preachy, too.

[superposition]

The head hero, huh... Now there's an interesting idea. Is there a hierarchy? What would a society of superheroes even look like? Hell, what's there to stop them setting up a superpowered ruling class? Do they ever address that in the comics?

[argone]

Morality.
I think it's morality.

This guy was lecturing me about helping people, and responsibility.

[superposition]

Hm. I guess it'd have to be, wouldn't it? That'd take more self-control than I've got, tell you that for free.

[The puzzle pieces are already starting to connect, though. She knew the head hero personally. She had a cape. It's not enough to be drawing conclusions from, not by any means, but it's enough to set off some wild speculation.]

[argone]

True. I mean, I don't think I'd have that kind of control either. But hopefully it won't be an issue for me.

[superposition]

What do you mean?

[argone]

Well I hope I gain powers obviously because that would be life-changing.

But I hope I don't get powers that might tempt me to take any sort of action like that.
