[Voice/Action]
[Today is a good day for serious business, apparently. There's a certain something he's been putting off for a while, and after one-too-many dreams interrupting his sleep, he's had enough: this morning when Billy wakes up, the first thing he does is jot out a note in the journal-]
[Private to Ben Grimm]
Hey, would it be okay if I swung by to ask you a few things?
[He'll work through his morning routine until he gets a response, after which he'll go for a visit and get a hell of a lot more than he bargained for.
After that, his mood for the day is drastically altered; he'll skip out on school, trying to sort out his feelings on the matter. Tommy's still AWOL, and he's trying not to worry Teddy, but what he's just been told has really got him thinking- about people, and heroes, and the unfairness of mankind in general. And eventually he'll just go ahead and return to his journal for it. He's kind of in over his head here.]
[Open to All]
I know Luceti's full of heroes- seems kind of a standard trait for most of us, for whatever reason. Back on my world, super-humans aren't that uncommon, and in general they're revered for everything they do for the world. Some of them were born that way, and some of them are from other planets, and some were altered to get their powers, and some have a lot of talent or skill instead of powers. But they're all considered to be super heroes. There's bad guys, too- just as diverse and unique as the heroes they fight. People fear them and celebrate their defeat.
There's another group, though... humans who got their powers because of evolution. It's much more natural, in a lot of ways. Some are heroes, some are villains. Some are just trying to get by without becoming one or the other. But regular humans fear them, and hate them for it, even if they save the world just as much as the heroes they love. They're called criminals or monsters, no matter how innocent they might be.
[He hesitates- it's probably obvious to some, what he's talking about, and he's not sure if he should lock it from the mutant population, or apologize, or something, but it relates to them even if it's not by name. Hiding it wouldn't be right.
In the end he just leaves it be.]
...Sorry for the ramble. But it's not fair, and... I just can't understand why. Why hate one and love the other, when they're basically the same?

'The keyblade wielder shatters peace, and brings ruin.'
Still he's not sure how to really answer it except the best way he can think of.]
I dunno. But, no matter what those people think in the end you just gotta do what you think is right. As long as you follow your heart it can't lead you wrong.
Even if they're afraid you just need to show them that there's nothing to be scared of.
Re: [voice]
It seems like it'd be a really frustrating and depressing life.
Re: [voice]
[voice]
[Though it does matter an awful lot when those people aren't so much not appreciating it as trying to kill you... still, that's awfully depressing for a Disney hero, so he just shrugs.]
I just worry about how to stay optimistic in that kind of world.
Re: [voice] Prepare for a heart speech. I'm not sure whne they'll get old
Yeah, sometimes I find it hard to stay optimistic too. But, I just remember about what I'm doing and who I'm doing it for and then I can keep going.
[voice] is that even possible
[His family, his friends, loved ones... there's plenty of reasons to keep fighting.]
[voice] I'm not sure you tell me
Our friends give us strength. It's not our special powers or anything. I mean without them what would be the point of even using our powers? We wouldn't have our real strength to use those powers.
[voice] it's just a thing he does
That definitely sounds like something you'd say.
[A pause, and then-]
Thanks. And you're right... when I was a kid, I was never as strong as I am now that I've got real friends. It makes a big difference.
Re: [voice] it's just a thing he does
Well it's just who I am.
[And there's a nod.]
It really does though. I can't imagine not being able to do anything that I've done without my friends.
[voice]
Re: [voice]
You got that right. But even having a few good friends is still good.
[voice]
Re: [voice]
[Okay he's done with heart speech promise.]
[voice]
[Ahhh, it's so refreshing to get some optimism today.]
Re: [voice]

Re: [voice]
[Gosh Billy.]
It is though.
[voice]
That's not a bad thing, though.
Re: [voice]
Well, I hope I helped with this Billy. I mean, friends help friends and all.
