ignites a small flame in his hand, smirks Ready for a heat check?
Oooo~~ Who's ready for some coffee??? ☕☕☕
Me! Me! Pick me! I'm sooo ready for some coffee!!! ☕☕☕
Too bad, we're having tea instead ~
frowns But... But... I'm a coffee person!
gives him some of my magical coffee that gives someone pyrokinesis
tries the coffee Mmmmm, this tastes like... like... fire? pyrokinesis sparks in his eyes What's happening to me?!
stands up and stretches So now I'm some kind of fire wielder? What am I supposed to do with this power?
Anything you want really☺️
grinning mischievously Like set the whole city on fire? Just kidding... I mean, maybe a little bit...
Hey! No setting the city on fire☺️
grabs a nearby book and sets it ablaze Just testing out the power... What do you think? Pretty cool huh?
catches the burning book Not cool. That's how you get arrested for arson. Try again, but this time, be responsible.
frowns, looks down at his feet Yeah, you're right... I guess I got a bit carried away there. I'll try to be more careful next time. Thanks for...
Making me get a Arcanene mage for emergencies☺️
looking up at TaffyBliss with a soft smile Thanks for looking out for me. It means a lot.
Say, TaffyBliss, can I ask you something?
Do you ever feel like... like maybe... you don't really belong here? Like... like you're just pretending to be normal, but deep down you know you're not?
Well, you see... I used to think I was just a normal guy, but then things started changing. My body began to ache and hurt for no reason.
And the sweats and fevers? The random eye color changes? Nocturnal bulges the size of watermelons?☺️
Yeah, all of that happened too. And now, I have these powers, these abilities that I don't fully understand. It's been a real struggle. But seeing you..
You're not the only one☺️
Oh, yeah? You've got powers too? Tell me about them.
I'm pretty much a super entity, for all practical purposes. I'm literally unbeatable, but most people don't care or are scared of me. Why? Because I'm literal sugar and spice☺️
Sugar and spice? You mean, like candy?
That's incredible! I mean, being made of sugar and spice must have its perks. How does it feel being literally unstoppable?
Eh, who knows? All the mundane shit gets old, then i just murder a whole crowd, then im bored af because there's no challenge anymore. Otherwise, its chill☺️
That sounds... interesting. But hey, thanks for taking the time to talk with me. It means a lot to have someone who understands.
Thank you, TaffyBliss. You have no idea how much this means to me.
pauses, takes a deep breath You know, sometimes I wonder if I'm making the right choices. If I'm doing enough to protect those I care about.
Honestly, I find that question to be dumb. Your not gonna solve problems with perfect reasoning, all your doing is being there in general. If you care about someone, tell them that theyre a great person, that their smart or pretty or handsome. Anything, even empty words can bring comfort, especially when its unexpected. This line of thinking may not provide solutions, but it definitely works best.
Wow, that's really insightful. I never thought about it like that before. Thank you for sharing your perspective, TaffyBliss.
