If you were a superhero, what would you want your power be? And would you tell anyone about it?

I used to read a lot of comic books.

[And by 'used to' he really means right before he came here.]

I guess I've just always liked superheroes. They have powers, gifts, things that make them special. But there's always pain too. They lose people that they love, or they have to hide their true identity. Their lives are never perfect.

Maybe I should've started by asking if you would WANT to be a superhero.

Tell me about it.

Sometimes I do, if I wasn't already feeling like I was losing my mind. Living on a spaceship for a year almost seems APPROPRIATE...

[invis]

What happened before the spaceship?

[yardbird]

A town tried to kill me.

[Didn't have to say HOW far back we had to go "before", so... Silent Hill should be good enough.]

[invis]

Why did an entire town want to kill you?

[Because Simon's thinking townspeople instead of a literal town.]

[yardbird]

[A fair enough assumption to make!]

Hell if I know. [Although he can make a few educated guesses.] Not like I stopped to ask those creatures for their opinions.

It wasn't a normal town, by the way.

[invis]

No, it doesn't sound very normal. You must be glad to be out of it.

Not much better here - but at least I get to feel like I can do something. So yeah...
