[....CONCERNING. Will follow back up on that!!]

What orb?

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

The one she gave people when we were offloading. Mine is a very specific shade of blue and feels weird to hold.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[a stare like

wait did he get one. shit did he swallow it. it's entirely possible he did. note to self check his belly later]

Huh!

So, magic shit. The point is, you trust her and think she's helping you.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

Helping people who want it? Sure.

I don't want it.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Haah?

So what do you want?

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

... to not have it?

But if I'm going to be forced to have it then I have to learn to control it. Ergo, return to ship.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Hmmm.

Throw it into the ocean.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

I did think about that but I get the feeling... like even if I did that it'd still happen.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Yeah, but then at least you wouldn't have the orb.

Ya said yer being forced, so if you don't actually want it? Rebel against it.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

I figured giving it to someone else to hang onto was a better idea? In case it can actually be useful later.


Because I, Phoenix, don't have a lot of Blessings that would be useful in a fight but he does.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Hm. That's a good compromise.

. . .

[he can't help but let out a light laugh]

With you it always boils down to how useful you can be for others, eh?

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

[ WOW don't laugh at him!!!

colors some ]

- I'm blaming superhero genetics.



[ it's only half the reason ]

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Is that what folks are callin' it now? Hah.

If that's what yer gut is telling you, guess you gotta see it through.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

Isn't that something you'd be telling me anyway?

I mean something like "are you only going to see it halfway through?"

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Yep! So as long as yer sticking to it, I ain't gonna tell ya not to go for it.

I dunno if everyone else feels the same way about goin' back though.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

That's probably normal?

And given no one got a choice in it I don't see them not choosing to go back to be a particularly bad thing.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

True, I just wish they could run if they wanted to. Even if that whole shindig is tryin' to help you guys in some fucked up away, if they don't want it , that's their choice to make.

Not really my business, ultimately.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

Do you think it's not helping you?

You're one of us, so your part is your business.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Haaah? [scoffs]

I guess me bein' on the ship is a better deal than this cell, yeah. But ultimately I'm still a convicted felon. What, you want her giving me a free pass somehow, scrubbing my record clean?

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

I mean, she probably could but no -

I meant the whole whatever's going on with powers and abilities effects you too.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

You think so? Ha. . .sure I got a vine growing in my arm, but that's not all that concerning to me.

And unlike you, I ain't no hero. You've got a lot to gain, not me.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

That should definitely be concerning.

[ a ??? beat ??? ]

I'm not a hero either and you have just as much to lose or gain as I do.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

. . .?

You don't think you're some kinda hero?

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[restitui]

- no? It's not like I've ever done anything particularly heroic.

Re: JAIL DETENTION CENTER

[brother_nature]

Maybe hero's too dramatic of a word, but you're definitely one of them goody two shoes helper types.

Also tryin' to be useful, willin' to sacrifice yourself? That ain't a character trait most people find easy.
