I think I get why people get so annoyed when they try to fight me.

[ He's somewhat amused by what had happened. Mainly because what happened felt a lot like what he usually does to other people - well, Phobiaclones didn't count but still - except that he was one of those other people this time. He had felt that something was going to happen, the same gentle way that he felt matters shift back home but without the pressing headache or the way reality suddenly was sounds-light-energy blending into thoughts pressing on his head. ]

Anyways, I had a feeling that this was going to be a low effort kind of event a few minutes before it hit, and I guess it was an ability? From the Library? Like the way I can almost create items from books, or talk instead of write in the journals. We really need to work on complying exactly what everyone can do in order to make better choices going forward. That story was gentle. I doubt we will have such luck next time.

In other news, I can procure a almost decent pot of coffee so long as I don't walk away, so if anyone wants some, just ask.

I can be pretty nice during my fights and just ease people out. I only save the really nasty tricks for those that make me mad.

[ Dragonboy being turned into paper was not that harsh of an attack, not really. ]

Are you doing okay?

[dovedive]

[ He completely forgot about hearing X's voice and visibly jumped again. Dang, he needs to stop being surprised by that. X and his fancy journal... ]

I'd hate to see what you'd do for someone who really makes you mad.

[ he got a brief taste of X's power when he teleported him and again when Dragon Boy was somehow crumpled up literally, and he still has no idea what he witnessed. X's power is seriously something else. ]

I'm... managing.

[ He's just grateful he got stuck in that story with Wreck, because he managed to keep any of the aliens from getting too handsy with him. ]

I'd say to look for what might be street art of Phobiaclones in walls... but that isn't me being mad at them. A little exasperated but yeah.

[ He hasn't really hit extreme anger yet. He's gotten annoyed, and freaked out early on when he was still getting use to his ability but mad, well, if he was to face a couple CEOs in battle, he might actually show his temper. ]

That's good to hear. I'm hoping you can take some time to relax. Stress really isn't good for anyone.

[dovedive]

I'm not really the relaxing type I'm afraid. You can even ask Wreck. It's not easy being the nemesis of someone like me.

[defyingreality]

Downtime doesn't have to mean being completely idle. Maybe you relax by organizing rows of books or going for runs. Not everyone has to relax the same way.

[dovedive]

It's impossible to organize anything in this place.

[defyingreality]

Oh. Right. I keep treating this place like a frustrating file room connected to work. My bad.

What would you find soothing? Something you can just space out doing?

[dovedive]

[ if only he had the ability to talk through the journal like X. Then he could hear the tone in which Nice says this. ]

What's that?

[ In actuality, the last time he could find something peaceful it was probably watching old interviews of Smiles, and after... certain incidents he felt too guilty to even watch those anymore. ]

[defyingreality]

He really never let you have your own opinions, did he?

[dovedive]

The perfect hero is better seen and not heard. Especially when it's unsightly to make so many mistakes.

[defyingreality]

The perfect hero is someone that people can love no matter what they do. If someone tells you that a perfect hero is one who is only allowed to move by someone's order, what makes them so different than being a machine?

[dovedive]

Beeep Boop. Does not compute.
