Julie / PS238 / Main Bar

[fiss84]

Being late for school sucks. Especially when you are running so late you don't have time for breakfast and meta-prodigies need their calories in a BIG way.

Finding yourself on such a day in Milliways instead of the cafeteria totally makes up for all of the above as now you can get something better than a carton of milk and a banana…if you have enough change that is. And so cue one aspiring superhero counting the change her mom had given her. Nearly two fifty! She just might have enough for chocolate milk and peanut butter crackers and a banana.

When her order appears with it is also a stack of comics. Confused, Julie says, "I didn't order these."

Just something for you to read while you eat dear, Bar replies via napkin.

"But, I only have enough for the food," Julie whispers nervously.

Then return them when you are finished.

"Oh. Okay then, thanks!"

[OOC: I want to tag this, but I don't even know yet whether Enzo will have told her what he normally looks like. Should we wait, or make some assumptions?]

[fiss84]

[OOC: Why don't we make some assumptions? I think we could likely push through to a fade on the other thread today so it shouldn't be too awkward.]

[a1enzo]

She looks a lot smaller when one is pushing six feet, rather than six inches.

"Whatcha reading?" asks a teenager coming up behind her.

[fiss84]

"This one's called Ms. Marvel," the girl replies cautiously since she doesn't recognize the boy. His skin and hair and everything is kind of weird.

[a1enzo]

He peers over her shoulder. "Nice outfit. The name doesn't really say much, though."

Of course, neither do a lot of them. Superman, for example, or Mr. Fantastic.

[fiss84]

"I think she's a FISS like me but she also seems to absorb energy and redirect it. It's kind of funny but she's trying to become 'the best of the best' of the super heroes in her world but everyone else already thinks she's pretty awesome from what I can see."

There's a message there for Julie if she'd see it.

[a1enzo]

"Is it still called FISS if she's got those powers but also something else?"

Funny, he appears to know what she means. Even though they have clearly never met before. >_>

[fiss84]

"I don't know. Seems like it should be different huh?"

[a1enzo]

"FISS++?"

[fiss84]

And that gets a laugh from the little girl.

"I'm Julie," she says once she's caught her breath. "Have we met or do you know Tyler? Or are you from my world?" All good reasons for understanding what FISS means in her book.

[a1enzo]

"We've met," Enzo says with a smirk. "You look different from this angle," he adds.

[fiss84]

Julie thinks back to her recent visits here and Cubefall. "You were the monkey?" she asks cautiously.

[a1enzo]

"Got it in one!"

[fiss84]

Julie blushes a little before replying, "You were the only person I talked to that day who was trying a new body."

[a1enzo]

"A lot of people are nervous about that kinda thing," he agrees. "I'm used to it, though."

[fiss84]

Julie looks away a little embarrassed.

"I thought it'd be more fun to play with the legos and stuff than be someone else." Plus she figured she has enough trouble being herself to try being someone else.

[a1enzo]

Enzo looks curiously at her, but doesn't comment.

"Like I said, a lot of people feel that way. Dani doesn't like to change either." She's got her own special reasons. "I'm someone else all the time, though, this is just a little more complete a change than usual."

[fiss84]

"Maybe I'll try it next year," Julie says putting on a brave face. "Are you a shapechanger? Is that how you can be some else?"

[a1enzo]

"Nah. Games."

[fiss84]

"Oh right, you're a Data Sprite," Julie replies thinking carefully and hoping she remembered the name right.

[a1enzo]

"Right. Part of my format is to download into Games our User plays, and play against them. I change to fit the Game when I do that."

[fiss84]

"Do you get to pick what games you play?"

[a1enzo]

"Nope. Don't know what it's gonna be 'til you're in it."

[fiss84]

"So you have to fight against your will? That's not right!" Her vehemence might a bit surprising given her usual mild mannered self.

[a1enzo]

He appreciates it, and smiles at her. "Most sprites get out of the way, evacuate the sector before it lands. We all could, but if the User wins, it trashes the sector. Then we either need to rebuild every time, or if it goes too far the system could crash."

[fiss84]

Julie thinks about this for a second before replying, "So it's kind of like how Milliways just shows up except to have to fight what evers in the game?"

[a1enzo]

"Sort of. If Milliways fell out of the sky on you."

[fiss84]

"True but the doors do just sort of appear right?"

[a1enzo]

"For a lot of people. I mostly come here on purpose."

[fiss84]

"Oh. I'm still working all that out. How do you come here on purpose?"

[a1enzo]

"I just... want to come here when I open the door. Though not every door works for me."

[fiss84]

"So the doors don't have to be random? I can try and make them appear when I want?" Julie likes this idea!

[a1enzo]

"Yeah. It works better for some people than others," he warns her.

[fiss84]

"I'll give it a try next time I want to come here."

[a1enzo]

"Good luck."

[fiss84]

[OOC-Hrrmm fade for next time or keep going? I'm fine for either.]

"Is there any trick to it or do you just think of it?"

[a1enzo]

[OOC: You forgot to close out your smalltext. And I, too, am good either way.]

[fiss84]

[OOC-Sorry. Why don't we go ahead and fade. I'm trying to clear out really old threads for new ones. = }]

[a1enzo]

[OOC: Okay, then!]
