[ichoosefight]

Kon - Superboy has disappeared. And Dean is in a coma. In case anyone was wondering where they were. "Not here" and "in the infirmary".

Action!

...Yeah. I guess.

If nobody else is gonna believe there's some good in him, I have to.

[And here he thought this job wasn't a hopeless effort.]

I didn't peg Satsuki that way, but everything switched last week, right? Little bit here, little bit there.

Powers too, huh?

Action!

[ichoosefight]

Good. That's your job. [ And if it was hopeless she'd be telling him to quit. ]

Yeah, I think so. I know a lot of people were talking about having powers that didn't belong to them.

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

[He smiles a bit at that even if it weren't exactly a pat on the back. He'd take what he could get.]

Personality, powers, bodies. Guess this is the real status quo.

Action!

[ichoosefight]

Yup! Pretty much the trifecta. If it's weird and you can imagine it, it can happen here.

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

[See him pout? It wasn't exactly what he signed on for. Oh well.]

I guess in the long run, worse things have happened. It's just a couple years at most for me. I get home and do the thing I wanna do.

Action!

[ichoosefight]

And you can take a break whenever you want.

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

Thinkin' about it, but it might to early to bow out just yet.

Action!

[ichoosefight]

The temptation will always be there. [ So there's no need to rush. But plenty of need to devour unholy volumes of ice cream. ]

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

I'll tough it out a while. [And he sticks a spoon full in his mouth, quite happily in fact.]

And throwing in my hand, being an optimist.

You really think Kon'll be gone long? I know time can be funky around here but I'm sure there are some merciful gods somewhere along the line.

Action!

[ichoosefight]

The only god who has any say on the sick shit that happens here is a megalomanic sadist. So yeah, I do think he'll be gone long.

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

[He's silent for a moment.]

Won't argue that, but I was speaking proverbially. [He raises a hand in a pacifying gesture.]

All we can do is hope for the best. I know that doesn't do much anything' but it's better than letting your imagination run with all the other possibilities.

Action!

[ichoosefight]

It's easier to just eat ice cream and try not to think about it.

Action!

[maxwells_demon]

Yeah... you're right. [Sort of. He take another bite.]
