You guys captured Purity?

I would absolutely do this exact thing if I hadn't just spent my first month as a Ward pissing off successively more powerful and highly placed members of the biggest local villain organization. I mean, they're E88, so that doesn't necessarily burn any bridges with anyone who isn't a racist, but it does sort of set me up a public reputation that would get in my way if I tried to come over all diplomatic on somebody.

[msglam]

Yup, you are correct. Also homophobic and transphobic, don't forget those things, if they found out you were bi they'd be even more annoyed.

[first_and_final]

Yes, I was oversimplifying. I'm actually keeping that in mind in case it's ever tactically useful for them to suddenly want to kill me more than they already do.

[msglam]

What, are you gonna shout 'By the way I'm bi!' in the middle of a battle?

[first_and_final]

I'd find a way to be slightly more subtle about it than that, but yes, potentially.

[msglam]

Like how?

[first_and_final]

I don't know, it would depend on what opportunities I saw. I'm a pretty clever speaker, though, I'm sure I could come up with something less blatant than "Hello! I am a bisexual!"

[msglam]

A bisexual. That sounds so funny in my head.

[first_and_final]

It was meant to!

[msglam]

I keep imagining the reactions, you arriving with your hands on your waist all superhero style announcing, "I am a bisexual!" and the E88 just looking at you, unsure of what to do, looking at each other in confusion.

[first_and_final]

Perfect.

[msglam]

I mean, realistically they'd take the opportunity of you stopping to talk to attack or something.

[first_and_final]

Not necessarily a bad thing. In any situation where I'm using this option I already want them to attack me.

[msglam]

You have quite a bit of offensive power but can you actually defend against any of them?

[first_and_final]

I'm really good at getting out of the way. Better than I have yet had a chance to demonstrate, for sure.

[msglam]

If you say so.

[first_and_final]

I do say so!

[msglam]

Just make sure you don't die, we need to save the world first.

[first_and_final]

I have absolutely no intention of dying before the world is good and saved. Yours and mine both.

[msglam]

It'd also be nice if you didn't get too hurt or maimed.

[first_and_final]

I'll do my best.

[msglam]

Good.

[first_and_final]

I'd hate to disappoint you.

[msglam]

Yes, we have a date on Sunday, you should be in one piece then.

[first_and_final]

I will, I promise.
