I'll take your word for it.

What -- is this the wrong sort of darkness?

[cardoperatedboy]

This isn't really darkness so much as it's ...I dunno. Absence.

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

I guess that's what makes it a void, huh.

[cardoperatedboy]

Yeah. It's giving me a headache! I can smell everyone's darkness, but I can't tell where it's coming from.

Man and I thought having the twilight zone theme music stuck in my head was bad.

[cardoperatedboy]

Heh. I dunno, that sounds pretty annoying! Been here long?

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

One year, six months.

[cardoperatedboy]

Whoa!

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

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I'm gonna get home and all my heroic banter's gonna be 18 months out of date.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