[ BEHOLD... a teen witch sitting on his bed. He seems way too energetic, considering he's indoors and doing nothing. (lbr he's nursing a magic-high right now, and it's got him feeling both restless and aimless at the same time.) ]
Hey, show of hands, who here's got too much free time right now? [ HE'LL START. Look at that hand go up. ] Come on, at least one of you watching raised your hand, too. So let's do something about it. Get drunk in public, find a corner to loiter on, a shop to vandalize, you know, normal kids' stuff.
[ He grins. ]
Kidding! [ With a shrug and a careless wave of his hand. ] I'd get up to way worse than that if I wanted to be a public menace. [ Still kidding? EH. ]
Anyway, I can't be the only one here with nothing better to do, so who wants to play a game of Would You Rather? Look, I can even start:
[ He claps his hands together and makes a show of thinking. ]
Would you rather... Have superpowers, but die young. Or be perfectly average, and live a long, painfully uneventful life?

Oh yeah? I didn't think monotony would be so appealing to so many people.
no subject
( Don't ask what her pastimes were back that, it's depressing. )
My country was being faced with war on two front; one of the armies comprised of dead men, one hundred thousand strong, if not even more.
I would welcome monotony.
no subject
...and neither's an army of zombies. Okay. You're the first person to pick the boring option for a good reason.
no subject
( Not as if she'd enjoyed it, and she intends to change that now. But it is what it is. ) What is the norm, aside from watching plays which have been recorded?
The reason may be a sound one, but no one needs one of those to not want to die young. Somehow I don't believe that's part of that 'norm' you spoke of before.
no subject
[ He wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. ] Go to school, so you can go to work and live some boring routine until you drop dead. That's all there is where I'm from, unless you do something with the skills you've got. [ He tilts his head, a hint of a smile curling at his lips. ] Or power, in my case. Better to use it, even if it means death, than do nothing and live like everybody else.
no subject
( Her life has been plenty interesting and terrible without having superpowers and dying young.
She envies him a little, that such a thing would be enticing. )
And is that the same here? ( Her head tilts, too. Hm. ) I can't disagree; I've done the same. Perhaps that's a universal truth.
What manner of power do you wield?
no subject
I don't know about here. The jury's still out on that. [ There are new opportunities to be had. But can any compete with the lure of power? TIME WILL TELL. ]
Magic. Want to see?
no subject
( She'll just leave that there. )
Show me.
