((Collab post between Letter and Mass City, with some Savato)) "Lucas!" shouted out a voice from the nearby corridor, "don't scare the little girl!" And with that, a sixteen-year old young woman, with dyed-rainbow hair and wearing a T-Shirt and short shorts that left little to the imagination, ran to just beside the taller man. "I mean, seriously, don't be so miffed you didn't get a position you didn't deserve, anyway, Scrappy-Doo! Fact is, I'm interested in space, you're interested in space, but you're turning 'being interested in space' into a life-and-death matter!" Lizzie - for that was who the girl was, put her hands on her hips. "Liz," said Lucas, "I don't like being ridiculed, simple as that. Ian and Sable can believe whatever they want; their beliefs are just...well, how do I put it, too mundane. We need to focus Sapientkind's attention on what's up there, the stars, so that we would be able to channel our energies peacefully, or at least, sort of peacefully. And I am not about to work just to make others realize what should be...So. Fucking. Obvious." "It's my way or no way, and Ian and Sable have chosen no way." Lizzie rolled her eyes, then turned towards Aiko, holding out a bag of dried apple pieces. "Here, a gift," she said. "Thanks." Aiko replied. "I still can't tell him what he wants to know." she rplied to the younger of the two. "That's okay," Lizzie was smiling. "You don't have to answer him. Anyway, let's go to the Entertainment Room; watch some Star Wars. Or would you prefer a rom-com?" "I'll follow you guys," said Lucas, "I've got nothing better to do except lose to Edge. I mean, seriously, I only have hydrokinesis, and while conjuring up and controlling water is powerful to you, it's still not enough, still not enough to fix the world." "You cannot fix the world without hard work, just saying, nor can you fix the world without relying on somebody else at one point," Lizzie was already walking Aiko towards the entertainment room. "Well, too bad," Lucas was about to admit his true feelings. "I'm too jealous of Ian - he has everything - while I have nothing at all." "Didn't your profile say that you were kind, idealistic, and compassionate?" Lizzie had almost reached the entertainment room, "well I'm not seeing any of that." "Well, it's because I just realized I wasn't powerful enough to change the world, and no one is willing to lend me their power without caveats - I mean, seriously, I have a grand vision - get humanity to Space. People should be flocking to follow me on the strength of that vision alone -" "TSUNDERE KICK!" shouted Lizzie in allcaps, kicking Lucas in the stomach, but [i]not[/i] using her super strength. Lucas staggered back, and said: "Sorry for being delusional by all objective standards. It's just that I've been drinking a lot lately and -" "Enough excuses, we're here," Lizzie said as they arrived in the entertainment room. "So," she turned to Aiko again, "want Star Wars, or a Rom Com?" "Star Wars, but episode 4." replied Aiko. She wanted pizza. "I can make Lucas forget about his desire to beat Edge." She smirked. "I want a pizza," Aiko wanted Pizza and did the sad eyes. "All right," said Lizzie. "Hey, Lukie!" she looked at Lucas, "get us some pizza; Four Cheeses!" With a frown, Lucas went off, and a few minutes later, just as the movie was starting, returned with a Pizza. "Well can I at least get a soda as well?" asked Aiko. Lucas frowned, and, after setting the pizza down, went back, and got three sodas. The three would then keep watching the movie, until Lizzie said something: "Hey," she said to Aiko, "I know I shouldn't mix business with pleasure, or pleasure with business, but what do you think of this?" The sixteen year-old then showed her iPad to Aiko, showing her the picture of a boy, also sixteen, with black hair and blue eyes and a sorrowful look. "Doesn't he look hot? Read the documentation that comes after the picture; it tells his story." Yes, Lizzie was talking about Jackson. Now Lucas felt he was justified in rolling his eyes. "Listen, I don't share my Church's view on Premarital Sex - it is, after all, the same Church that proclaims Reason and Faith as two sides of the same coin, yet condemned Galileo - but can you not lust after the bad boys? That kid's bad business, or at least two of his personalities are." Lucas did care for Lizzie, after all. Then he faced Aiko. "Hey, if you cannot tell my future, can you at least warn Liz' about how her getting boy-crazy will lead to her death?" "He looks cute but he seems a little mopey. I'd rather have a happier person. Not too happy just a person that gets cranky and actually can be happy." Aiko bit into her pizza. She did the inward blow as she cooled the hot cheese. Aiko did not want to ask about relationships it was not something she was fond of. "Anyways lets watch this movie!" replied Aiko. They were at the scene where Luke was dreaming about going off to explore the great wide galaxy, with Lizzie saying: "So, Aiko, happier now?" "Yes, but lets not talk about it." Aiko was watching the movie.
