[ hmmm. ]

Like blackmail, or hypnosis?

[ pff. ] Maybe they should’ve sourced their heroes from home instead of picking people at random for whatever game they’re playing. If they get a nasty surprise, that’s their fault.

[ there would be yelling if lillium hadn't said what he said and now there is only withdrawing, kind of. he doesn't seem angry himself, more neutral and waiting to see how this goes. ]

...it isn't like I wouldn't have had the same reaction, I guess. [ debatable. nico has a short temper himself when it's pushed, but scenarios always make things different. ] We thought our plan and alternate route was good. So we went through with it, and we didn't expect the leaders to get called in to arrest us. What's done is done, and it won't happen again.

[ not like this, at least. they'll just be smarter next time and that implication is there. ]

Meow, if ya had any power like the Saint of the Sun, we'd be set.

[Sometimes sun powers are normal. Why are sun powers normal. Anyway I hope Will survives 54 murder attempts and survivor pools, I'm manifesting this for him.]

Just gotta remember to help from a few paces farther away, ya know. You got your work cut out for you on the front lines here.

[will smiles a little wryly at that]

It'd definitely be useful. Too bad I don't.

[does he know what the saint of the sun's power is? no. can he kind of guess based on the name and his own experience with sun powers? yes.

also wow don't curse him to survivor pool.]


I will definitely keep that in mind.

[will he follow that advice? lol. who's to say. but he'll remember it!]

I think we need to find out.

I whole-heartedly believe in your ability to get yourself into trouble.

… That’s like the weirdest little cherry on top of this whole mess. At least you’re not going to be crawling out, starving.
resumed: (grin ♕ a-plus choice)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Even better, I'm hoping for plans to prevent any more trials and arrests going forward. At least for us. Aren't we supposed to be "the good guys" here?
selfimmolation: (but home's a place)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-09-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
You could have a little more faith in my ability to get out of trouble, too.

[ but only a little. ]

Maybe they just didn't want to deal with ten hangry criminals on top of everything else.

[ he is starting to wonder if people think his power is just turning lights on and off, but honestly that suits him just fine. ]

I disabled what I could from the outside, but when the police called the leaders and started chasing after us the lights came back up halfway through. Powers don't work in here so the connection wore off. I think.

Where did I say I didn’t?

[ get into trouble, get out of trouble. ]

Although please don’t jailbreak. We’re probably going to need as many of us as possible not behind bars while we deal with whatever weird backlash there is tomorrow.

[ listen will can ask him out in jail considering nico asked him out in front of the whole fucking camp. they are both smushed against the bars of their cells and leaning as close as possible to see each other. ]

...somewhere nice doesn't sound bad. [ they have a lot of things to figure out, but they always do their best work together. also, a date sounds nice, don't @ him. ] Maybe some more of the construction will be finished and we can find something tomorrow.
resumed: (alert ♕ we have to go)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-25 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...dislike. ]

Did they say how long ago it's been since something like this happened? What kind of specific scenarios?
selfimmolation: (wanna hold on and feel i belong)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-09-25 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
... I won't promise I won't try again if I feel like it's necessary.

[ sorry he has learned nothing except to go about it in a different way so it succeeds ]
stunwhistle: (054)

[personal profile] stunwhistle 2023-09-25 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we can go take a look around and see what kind of progress has been made over the last week or so. They've gotta have finished something by now, right?

[a date sounds really nice. the jailbreak was kind of a date for them. it didn't end exactly how they wanted it to though.]
resumed: (neutral ♕ you think that's it?)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-25 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think, but considering how else they've been running the city my feelings aren't exactly optimistic. [ are they ever. but he can at least be optimistic about a date for tomorrow. so that's nice. ]

No, but it sounded like there was a precedent that was bad enough for this to be considered an acceptable solution to heroes killing. [ … ] He said something about it being a deterrent to show people they shouldn’t go the way of a villain.

The guy was incredibly shady, so take it with a pinch of salt. But I believe him that it was meant to be an example to the people.

The penguins do better work than the politicians do.

That bar's pretty low though.

Well if one of you had a blood sugar issue and dropped dead in their care, that would be a bad look for them after today.

[ pfft. ]

I mean breaking yourself out once you’re caught, Ace. [ she’s law enforcement. stop telling people to break into jails, tama. ] I don’t think there’s a legal loophole out there that can minimise the fall out from breaking into and then out of a jail once caught.

[ multiple attempts to bust someone out are also not great for the legal loopholes but— y’know. she’s fighting battles she has a minor chance of winning. ]
selfimmolation: (love like you)

[personal profile] selfimmolation 2023-09-25 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that. We're out tomorrow anyway. I can wait. [ shrugging a little ] As far as prisons go, this isn't so bad.

You don't put on a public performance like that if you aren't looking to make an example. [ which is part of his frustration to begin with. ] A little funny no one mentioned that on Friday when we were busy running around looking for clues. That would have changed a lot about what we did yesterday, I bet.
