Sup peeps! Lol total noob here, so bear with me. Let me see if I've got my facts straight:

1. The streams are crossing and we're all now in some alternate-reality pseudo-America. And we can't get home. And apparently the Cold War is still on?? Yikes!
2. We're all here to... be superheroes? For some... totally unclear, not at ALL nefarious reason.
3. By default, as superheroes we're all working for the government. Because... the police/FBI/CIA/SHIELD/whatever enforcement agencies they have here weren't enough, they need a whole cadre of superheroes?? (For real??? I mean, six was enough for the Avengers and they managed to repel an entire ALIEN INVASION, guys! What do they need with a whole army??? SLIGHTLY DISTURBING.)
4. If you refuse to work for the system, you get your special privileges taken away. Wheeeeee. Also not at all disconcerting.
5. They have files on us. Like, serious files. With all our information. I don't even live here! And then they've tagged us with (totally ugly) tattoos to keep track of us like we're stray dogs?? They're probably reading this right now. I mean, I joked a lot about Big Brother back home but this is taking it to a whole new level.
6. Super powers. Like for-real super powers. We all have them now. And somehow this place isn't an anarchist wasteland yet and nobody's succeeded in over-throwing the (clearly super corrupt) system??
7. And people are okay with all of this????????????

Correct me if I'm wrong. It happens occasionally.

Anyhoo, hey I'm Skye. Contact me if you need tech support. That's about it! Peace out.

Yeah, I'm starting to get that impression!

[aggressiveapathy]

so
are you going rebel
or what

[hackitude]

Haven't decided yet.

Mostly just playing the field right now. Seeing what and who's out there. They actually gave me a pretty easy job so I'll probably stick with it for... at least a week.

[aggressiveapathy]

mm
unless you got cool enough powers to take over the world with
the free house is just less annoying

[hackitude]

Yeah I gotta say

As someone who's totally been homeless for a while? The free house is super nice. I'm not complaining!

[aggressiveapathy]

homeless?
did you lose it in a bet against a supervillain or invest in manufactoring a sensible clothing line or something

[hackitude]

Nope. Just a regular high school drop out. I like your ideas better though. Maybe I'll steal those lines for next time.

[aggressiveapathy]

lying is half the battle
i don't know why anyone sticks with a boring backstory
we could all have been raised by urban rodents here

[hackitude]

LOL

That's a good one. You're good at this!

[aggressiveapathy]

were you professional homeless with an iphone

[hackitude]

Pretty much. Only not an iPhone, but yeah.

[aggressiveapathy]

come on
you can do better than this

[hackitude]

... Oh. I was telling the truth.

[aggressiveapathy]

i know
it made me sad about your life

[hackitude]

Whatever, I get by.

Anyway, I've got a job now. So it's not all bad. I'm looking on the bright side!

[aggressiveapathy]

so we've all moved past your list of complaints

[hackitude]

It wasn't a list of complaints so much as a list of the facts.

[aggressiveapathy]

facts don't have breeding question marks
anything over two per question signifies insanity and/or moral outrage
which aren't that different overall
really

[hackitude]

Okay. Point.

But I still think some of those points were pretty valid!

[aggressiveapathy]

sure why not
but you'll take the job and the house that comes with the tattoo
if you want a different one you should look up edgeworth
job i mean
not home
i don't think he knows what sex is

[hackitude]

Hey, I said for now. Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right? Just because I don't trust the system doesn't mean I can't play it. Better to be a rebel with $$$ than without.

And... noted. Thanks.

[aggressiveapathy]

np
also
just skye
really?

[hackitude]

Just Skye. No family, no family name.

[aggressiveapathy]

you totally have a dramatic backstory
but should just be sky
superhero name

[hackitude]

Probably a little obvious, but I'll take it under consideration.
