Yeah.

[cardoperatedboy]

That's a really long time.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Man, you're telling me. Do you have any idea how much TV I've missed?

[cardoperatedboy]

No.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

I'm gonna get home and all my heroic banter's gonna be 18 months out of date.

[cardoperatedboy]

And then you're not going to be cool any more and everyone'll hate you, huh?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Don't joke about stuff like that. Building up a fanbase as a solo act was hard enough, now that I'm married and have a kid to support my career's more important than ever.

[cardoperatedboy]

Yeah, I bet you suffer terribly. All those fangirls who'll be broken hearted and hate the young bride.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

I'm serious. Saving the world's a vocation not a job -- meaning we don't get paid.

[cardoperatedboy]

...What so you need the fans to get by?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

We're allowed royalties from merchandise -- that's the only legal way we can fund ourselves.

[cardoperatedboy]

Don't they ever give you rewards or anything in thanks?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Nah. Even if they did, we couldn't take it -- sets a bad precedent.

[cardoperatedboy]

I thought it was an insult not to take a gift.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

We take gifts, next thing you know we're taking bribes, giving preferential treatment, extortion -- least that's how the media puts it. And super-heroes have to be above all that.

[cardoperatedboy]

That's annoying. You're a superhero?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Superboy, in fact.

[cardoperatedboy]

Dunno you. But yeah, that's a "super" name.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Clone of Superman -- and he's where the whole superhero thing comes from. So it makes sense.

You?

[cardoperatedboy]

...Riku's replica.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

No wonder your friend's with Namine. Nice to meet you, dude.

[cardoperatedboy]

What do you mean? Namine's not a replica of anyone.

Nice to meet you too.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

Namine gets things though. I mean other people are nice, sure, but she just kinda takes it all in and doesn't rush to say the right thing or the polite thing. You know she really thinks about it.

What should I call you?

[cardoperatedboy]

......Namine thinks, yeah. About. Everything she does.

I don't have a name. And I'm not picking one yet. So... whatever.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_superdork_/]

It's important.

Yeah? I can understand that. Just be careful -- you wait to long, you'll end up with them just giving you a name. I didn't want to be Superboy, you see.
