I was an average working man! We may not have a perfect system, but getting people engaged is better than getting them riled up.

[enigmaestro]

Perfectly free from invasive material, thank you.

How's your season?

[currentcy]

An average working man who doesn't work in politics.

[viced]

So what makes you think he's powerless? He can vote, right? He can come to my town halls and tell me what he's dissatisfied with! Shit, if more people actually voted in local elections, shit could be a lot different. People have more power than they believe.

[enigmaestro]

As long as I've your blessing on the concept.

[currentcy]

Yeah, right. That's especially bullshit in this place. They only give you and the rest of us enough power so we think we can make a change around here. Then they stomp our ideas down and hold us even more prisoner. I never fought the government back home.

[ Well, not... like this. ]

[osreborn]

Don't push your luck.

[enigmaestro]

I'd much rather push you.

[hedera]

I already have one. You're just not funny.

[hedera]

If they don't wish to lead, maybe they should follow someone else.

[osreborn]

I wouldn't mind pushing you either.

Perhaps through a window. Maybe a wall.

[enigmaestro]

Ooh, dramatic. But every push deserves a pull, Norman.

[hedera]

Brisk.

How are your semi-romantic entanglements with annoying alien children?

[enigmaestro]

My extremely platonic mentorship of Eridan is going quite well, actually, he exhibited profound capability in our Chicago venture. Granted our alliance has been... Difficult, especially at times prior, but he will make a suitable asset. Maybe even a point of legacy.

There's been discussion before, of how certain Alternians seem oddly paralleled to certain members of our ilk. We all have opinions on that.

[waiting]

What do you even need medication for?

[hedera]

Ah, motherhood.

And what would your opinions be, because I'm sure you have them.

[enigmaestro]

I very distinctly opted for mentoring instead, because the familial concept was too uncouth.

Melodramatic, highly petty, and armed with poor impulse control; they're good at mimicking our assumed flaws. The comparisons reach individuals levels, as mentioned, but they're mostly superficial ones.

You should meet Kanaya.

[indentcision]

Maybe you just didn't get it.

[ Or Harvey has a stupid sense of humor. ]

[osreborn]

Of course it does.

[maggotbone]

No shit.

[egomaniacal]

Twilight reference, huh? That's some highbrow stuff.

[hastheedge]

Only one of my friends back home qualifies as a normal human being.

[ex_mostlyarmless446]

I'm willing to do whatever it takes, just to get this cure right.

[bumbumbum]

Stephanie Brown kissed me once.

[symmachy]

I killed the only man I thought I'd ever love.
