And that is exactly why I don't do the whole superhero thing.
It's nothing but stupidity, spandex, and silliness.

[webbs]

wow
rude??
just trying to help

[quintuplet]

I'm entitled to my opinion.

[webbs]

and i'm entitled to remind you that i literally stopped a museum bombing last week.

[quintuplet]

And?

[ stopping a museum bombing is hardly changing the world, not to mention that it will more than likely happen again sometime later on down the line. ]

[webbs]

and that's around a hundred people who aren't dead
a bunch of old stuff that isn't destroyed
and two of the terrorists are starting to talk, so that's more info for the future

look
sometimes the little stuff matters

[quintuplet]

I prefer the big picture made with bold, broad strokes.

[webbs]

yeah but then you need to go through and fill in the gaps

[quintuplet]

Not me.

'mind controlling somebody else to do it for you' counts, jsyk

[quintuplet]

I don't always mind control people. I'll have you know I can be just as persuasive without my powers.

[webbs]

i like how your argument isn't "i'd never do that," just "i wouldn't always do it"
but yeah that doesn't surprise me
you're better at social things than i am

[quintuplet]

[ of course it shouldn't. sketchy telepath shenanigans are her speciality. ]

And that complete lack of confident right there is your problem.
Fortunately for you, I can help you correct that.

[webbs]

i mean i'm better at crawling, swinging and stuff like that
i wasn't asking for help

[ pause. ]

but
if youre offering?

[quintuplet]

[ it's not often she carries out "charity work", but on the chance that it'll be entertaining in the way that tropey teen movies are, esme decides to reconfirm her offer. ]

I am.

[webbs]

[ ...huh.

penny's seen a lot of those movies as well, she knows how they work, and esme gives off pretty big mean girl energy.

but she is sort of nice, as well. in her own way. deep down. sometimes. ]

uncharacteristically thoughtful of you, but i'll take what i can get.
