[thesettingsun]

That's weirdly inspirational, for bats.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, I thought it was kinda funny. Called her Batgirl. I guess she liked it, she ended up using it as her super name and Katana made her a suit with a bat hood.

[thesettingsun]

It's not the worst superhero name. You could be Hedgehoggirl or something.

[maidofmistakes]

Or meatballs. [She laughs nervously, remembering the Halloween costume.]

[thesettingsun]

What kind of superpowers would a meatball hero even have?

[maidofmistakes]

Bouncing off the ground when they fall?

[thesettingsun]

You could be a rubber hero with that power and it'd be a little less dumb.

[maidofmistakes]

There are probably a bunch of those around, too.

[Hoisting shovelful after shovelful of snow onto the snowbank on the lawn!]

I mean, in worlds with supers.

[thesettingsun]

Maybe in Recolle too. You never know what kind of powers people have gotten.

[Shoveling... Should be about done with this patch soon.]

[maidofmistakes]

That's true. I just haven't seen any.

[thesettingsun]

That you know of. Maybe one of your closest friends is secretly made of rubber.

[maidofmistakes]

Why would somebody hide their powers from another Retrospec user? ...I mean, besides the obvious one.

[The guy who killed Zee.]

[thesettingsun]

[He wasn't even thinking of that guy.]

Not hiding. More that it just hasn't come up yet.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, I guess it's not like we do a census or anything. That'd be weird.

[thesettingsun]

If we did that, everyone would get worried about our reasons for wanting the information.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, and it wouldn't really be useful, would it?

[thesettingsun]

Nope. Might as well not bother.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, no kidding. [She hauls more snow up onto the snowbank.] Hey, did you need some help with the other houses?

thread wrapup?

[thesettingsun]

If you're offering, why not? It'll go faster with two of us working.
