Deep and meaningful question for the week, barge. If you could go home, but no one you loved was there, would you do it?

Comments

[megamind]

Yes. [ Not even hesitation ] It's-- I made a promise, and if two people happen to be missing from the city, it doesn't mean the promise is suddenly invalid.

[sharpememory]

Hmmm. What would happen after you finished your promise? Would you still hang around?

[mistconduct]

Well look who's poking his head out of the ground to check to see his shadow.

Morning, groundhog.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Seriously? You'd rather stay in this shithole just because boohoo nobody likes you?

Gimme a break.

[This is why Elena is anti-feelings. >B|]

Why give a damn what anybody else thinks?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, well. Can't be said that I do anything by halves, can it? There's nothing like a good coma to start off the month.

[sharpememory]

I didn't say that. There's no way I'm staying here. Personally, I'd go home even if the only thing left was a 7/11 and some old guy behind the till. I was just wondering where everyone else was at, because that's kind of what people do.

[megamind]

As someone once said to me: You can't just quit the business.

I'm there until I've got someone to take my place, or there's a lovely "Here Lies Megamind, Defender of Metrocity".... Superherosim isn't just something you fulfill and then ditch.

[ said smooth, but oh, there's a seed of bitterness under all that ]

[sharpememory]

Wait, you're an actual superhero? Seriously?

[mistconduct]

I really was hoping you were dead, so I guess you can't win everything.

[megamind]

Yeah, seriously. City's premier supervillain for three decades, been serving as the city's defender for the last six months before I hopped back to the barge.

As career changes go, it's pretty good. All my skills are applicable, I get better press, and I can go out in public without inciting a riot.

[sharpememory]

Sorry to disappoint. [A pause.] So, where's Cassel at?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Good rule of thumb is to avoid what people do.

[mistconduct]

What makes you think I know where Cassel's at?

[sharpememory]

Huh, so you're a graduate and return to be a warden sort of guy. I can't really get the logic of doing that. If I had the chance to leave, there's no way I'd be coming back here. Ever.

[sharpememory]

You're probably right, especially considering people here are either criminally insane or holier-than-thou police types.

[megamind]

Yeah, if my deal weren't patently impossible without near-divine intervention, I'd be home fighting the good fight.

[sharpememory]

If that's a roundabout way of saying that he's disappeared, I'm not gonna be happy.

[deadliestviper]

For a little while.

[sharpememory]

What's your deal? [Wow, super polite, Barron.]

[mistconduct]

He hasn't disappeared. I know exactly where he is.

[sharpememory]

And then what? Back here or off into space?

[sharpememory]

Right, awesome. Thank you for your amazing assistance.

[mistconduct]

I don't owe you jack, Barron.

[deadliestviper]

If one of those is better than home, why not?

[sharpememory]

Yeah, you're right on that one. We went to this resort world a while back that was pretty great. I wouldn't mind living there.
