[ I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE but let's just put them outside in the middle of justice circle because nico's standing here in his goth clothes and squinting into the abyss. who asked for this. why are they here.
mostly he's staring at the hero memorial. it's closed, but for how long? ]
...why does this feel kind of ominous? [ be less paranoid, kid. ]
also boy howdy what a question, because nico's like. considering this for a second. ]
Of course not. [ that would imply fear, but he still has a few issues with them. ] I'm just surprised there are still some things that are closed off to us while everything else is ready.
Right, the "original twelve." And there's still eight leaders...I thought it was referring to them, but I don't know if anyone's asked our leaders about four other people.
[ maybe that's on his to-do list later. ]
Maybe that's true. They made it sound like everything got wrecked a month ago, but with everything else already back in order I guess I was expecting more.
[ sometimes you learn a lot about what people's priorities are based on what they bother finishing first. ]
I think it'd be a good question, especially since we're kinda being recruited as new ones.
[ He hums. ]
Well some businesses are probably still getting their footing after everything that's happened. I'm sure things'll be more lively in a couple weeks! [ Hopefully. ]
I've been to a couple spots to eat. And the arena, that place is huge -- and not what I was really expecting. When you hear the word "arena" you kinda think of... what are they called, uh... gladiators? Warriors? Those kinda guys!
It's worth checking. If a few people ask, maybe we'll be able to understand our situation a little better.
[ he considers this though. ]
They might have more luck if their construction workers weren't three feet tall, but who am I to tell them how to do business? [ prinnies... ] You mean a coliseum. I haven't looked at the arena myself, but admittedly yeah that thought crossed my mind, too.
[ well. both a sports arena and a gladiator coliseum crossed his thoughts, he's 50/50 on what he thinks it might be fore. ] But with the schools around maybe it makes a little more sense. People like sports.
[ vane does in fact startle him, thanks. he jumps slightly at the sight of the plate but he takes it more on instinct than anything as he looks up at him. he's sitting in a chair by one of the windows in the living room, but he had been looking outside and unaware. ]
Thanks. [ he says first of all because he's a polite boy (sometimes), but then he shakes his head. ] I've sat in worse places for longer, so...surprisingly not bad. If you ignore the reason we were there and the part we couldn't use any of our powers to even try to break ourselves out.
[ for a second he looks pretty taken aback by "so I've heard", and then he realizes vane is talking about all of them being arrested last week so he relaxes again. right. that. what if he just picks at a piece of fruit and chews on it while vane brings up a lot of good points. ]
It's not fair, and I don't think any of us regret trying. [ first of all. ] ...we didn't think anything would happen and we weren't sure if telling too many people would put all of us at a greater risk. I brought Will because he's a healer and he was on standby the whole time in case something went wrong.
[ i mean that was also an afterthought, he really just went "hey new date night activity, let's do a jailbreak." but regardless. ]
But I understand. We're going to be smarter moving forward.
Yeah, we had no idea that would happen before. I wonder if there's a way to disable that from the outside, too. [ he says, as if he's considering going back to the jail and testing it. ]
If it's not a physical device somehow, it's likely some other power we haven't heard of. The police here seem like they have no idea what to do with people with powers so they could have easily commissioned someone. If we had any idea what it looked like...
[ they could've, like, broken it. ]
It does make you wonder if it's something similar to whatever made all of us fall asleep that night.

[ He hums. ]
But there was something about there being twelve of them in the beginning, yeah? We’ve only met four, so…
It could still be under construction because of that, y’know?
[ can’t believe heroes DIED here ]

Wherever he may be relaxing, Vane might startle him be handing a plate with a sandwich and assortment of fruits. ]
How was sitting in jail for a day?

[ He crosses his arms, releasing a sigh. ]
I get why you guys did that. I don’t blame you, either, because all of that… this — it’s not fair.
But next time you should at least let a few more people know. ‘Cause what if you were there longer than that? What if one of you got hurt?

Yeah, especially if it apparently just zaps powers away.
I mean with a city full of heroes I guess it makes sense, but that would mean they're using something to do that... right?
