Event: Questions and Answers

Characters: NPCs, open
Setting: cafeteria, after lunch, June 11 & 12
Format: starting in prose
Summary: Some of the tower administration answers questions characters may have about their situation.
Warnings: possible language, possible violence

There is a small, hastily-constructed stage at the head of the cafeteria. While it's empty now, it's obvious there's room for two people to sit and answer questions in front of microphones. After dinner, the collared cafeteria workers silently clear away all food to prepare. Until the session begins, everyone is left to talk amongst themselves.

"Yeah, exactly! Bad guys always say they're the good guys, but then they'll kidnap you and stuff." She's seen enough superhero films. "Just like what's happening here!" Huff. "I'm pretty strong. What's the heaviest thing you can lift?"

"Yeah? My name's America. Or Amelia Jones! We both have secret names then, only I gotta use my human name!"

"Some bed guys pretend to be good guys and then they tell things to the bad guys and side when them when you're going to fight the bad guys but the good guys always wins but it hurts because you thought he was good and he was your friend but he wasn't, kinda like your family," Molly didn't realize how much she had admitted right there, besides they were just talking casually about bad guys pretending to be good guys, right?

"I can liiiiift," she stares at the ceiling trying to remember, "I lifted a truck once! Not the biiiiiig trucks," she spreads her arms wide, "but the trucks that are more like cars and people drive them when they have lotsa kids!"

She laughs a bit, "You're a reverse superhero!"

She just listens.

"... that sucks. A lot." She kinda wants to give her a hug. She probably shouldn't, though.

"... you lifted it while it had kids in it?" America asks, a pout settling on her face. "I mean... I could do that if I trained more... probably..." She's too busy sulking to hear the 'reverse superhero' comment.

Molly shrugs it off, she doesn't want to think about it. She shakes her head, "Nuh uh, there were no people in it. And training it boring! You can train while you fight people and hafta lift more things!"

She manages to stop pouting for a few moments. "Yeah! I guess it's good you're here, we can team up and get out of this stupid place, right?"

"Or at the very least we can beat them up until they serve burgers for breakfast."

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Burgers for breakfast sounds sooo cool!! We should do that!"

[identity profile] misstates.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"If I have some burgers in me I'm way stronger!"

She wrinkles her nose up. "I guess. But yuck, not spinach! That's a million times worse than oatmeal."

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Molly crinkles her nose as well, "Yuck, you're right!"

There's a short silence. "I should thank you for protecting LA! That's a totally cool thing to do..."

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Molly grins, "Someone needs to protect LA from the adults!"

[identity profile] misstates.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
America scratches her head. "The adults? Whaddya mean?"

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
She blinked, "All bad guys are adults?"

[identity profile] misstates.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
"... I guess they are. That's so weird. There's no kid baddies?"

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope! Well... some! But it's because of adults!"

[identity profile] misstates.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm an awesome adult! I'd never do something bad like that."

[identity profile] princesspowaful.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
She looks up at Amelia with honest eyes, "You promise?"

[identity profile] misstates.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
A hesitant laugh. "Yeah, I mean..." Wars are different, they have to be... She beams. "I promise!"

Molly smiles, a big genuine smile, "Okay!"
