Has anyone tried to leave town yet?

[She's not asking for volunteers, but because she doubts simply driving away is allowed by the Mayor. She's just curious as to how aggressive the consequences are.]

Yes. I don't have a vehicle so I haven't gotten far, but heading west at least if there's a barrier for us to run into it isn't the stated city limits I was able to find out from the library here.

I don't like to sit around doing nothing in situations like this.

Small pacific northwest town a decade in the past? No, this particular instance is new. But in my world people with superpowers aren't unheard of and some ... get a little rowdy.

[Which sometimes involves civilians, so it's not giving away Wren's own secret identity to say they're familiar with it, they figure.]

Very impressive. And worrying. Did you have to give blood to get out of the room you showed up in at first, too?

[They'd thought it was just them but seeing that other network post it looks like that was how it just went.]
shrikesback: (hmmmmm)

Yeah. I figured knowing if they'd keep to their own rules they establish was an important thing to assess, too.
shrikesback: (Rly?)

No.

[ It's a lie, but Wren has family to protect, and is part of a legacy that made some unfortunate enemies. Even back home, the people that know the truth of them are a handful at most.

Not like they have to worry about powers outing them here, anyway. ]


Most people have thought I was joking or crazy when I mention masked vigilantes though. Does your world have them too? Please say I'm not the only one.

[ That's a relief. That Wren isn't the only one there. Though maybe that means... ]

Can I ask the names of some of them? Like, the big ticket 'everyone's heard of them' ones? You know, compare notes?
shrikesback: (Checking phone)

[ Those sure sound like Superhero names alright, but ... no, none of them are familiar in the least bit. ]

Negative. Don't suppose Justice, the Raven, Athena, or Lady Vengeance mean anything to you?
shrikesback: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] shrikesback 2022-09-06 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
They are. They're not all of Supergroup but they're kind of headliners for it. At least I can be sure they're not unique to my world now.

Sounds like you know that from experience?
shrikesback: (w a t ?)

Wait seriously? Does he know a different you from his own universe?
shrikesback: (Nothankyou)

Well, "What amounts to a stranger wearing the face of my best friend or ex girlfriend" wasn't something I had on my list of things to worry about before but I guess it's going on there now.
