video | a finer world, part 2
[ Does this guy ever broadcast to the network from ground level?? APPARENTLY NOT because here's Apollo with yet another video message from somewhere dizzyingly high, this time sat on top of a brightly lit neon encrusted building in the heart of Jeopardy. Over his shoulder the sun sets over the desert in a picture perfect background landscape of bright pinks and oranges, but Apollo looks pensive despite the dreamy setting. He's been keeping an eye out for the so-called ghosts, you see, and maybe remembering a few ghosts of his own in the process. ]
An old friend once told me that saving the world is no good if we leave it the way we found it. She said 'saving the day shouldn't be the same as preserving the status quo'. Because what's the point in saving the world if you make no effort to change it? To make it better than it was?
That's why I joined her team, back home. I wanted to save the world and change it for the better. None of us could have done it alone but as a group... [ He trails off, turning a little wistful. ] As a group we were formidable.
But I know most of the teams currently operating here - [ you know who you are ] - are all pretty much Registered-only affairs. And that's fine if you're the Registering type...
[ Apollo's expression turns grim. Or as grim as you can look when surrounded by neon pink signage. ]
Personally? I've got no intention of swearing my loyalty to the government just because they want tame superheroes. But I still want to make a difference and if being a so-called vigilante is what it takes, then... I guess we'll see what happens next.
So consider this an open call. Is there anyone else out there who's Unsettled and wants to do their bit to save the world?
[ And yeah, maybe change it a little bit too. He hopes you're happy, Jenny Sparks. ]

[he means that! that's crazy, and he's seen a lot of crazy shit!]
So you're really durable? Asking because I think fighting you would be super fun.
no subject
I should clarify, 'handle whatever space decides to throw at me' includes not-robots from distant planets.
no subject
[he claps his hands together.]
Friendly throw down, eh? Up for it?
no subject
But on the other hand: who fucking cares? He wants to see what Riptide can do. ]
...Okay. [ The logic part of his brain wins out as he adds: ] Not here though. Not where people can see us.
you gotta fight both my chars
Righto! Can't imagine it would be too hard to find an uninhabited island off the coast.
rolls sleeves up
[ Apollo taps his chin thoughtfully. ]
But as long as the island's in American waters it should be okay, right?
no subject
[give him a moment his brain broke temporarily. okay. back on it.]
Yes! Either that or just, like, really deep in the middle of nowhere. Mountain place.
no subject
[ THE SUN DOESN'T HOWEVER....... not that Apollo is mad or anything!! ]
Hmm. Mountain or sea, I'm fine with both. What would you prefer?
no subject
[in his HUMBLE OPINION. anyway.]
Mountain. I'm closer. [he pings a location.] How's there? It's a couple miles away from anything.
no subject
[ He has been saying that for YEARS. ]
Okay, mountain - [ He checks the location and nods consideringly; it looks perfect. ] I'm meeting someone tonight but how about tomorrow morning?
