[@Joshie] [b]Speaking of telling people things, I hear Alexis has told you a bombshell (it's okay, she told me too, so we don't have to go into details). What did you think of Alexis and Her mom before the revelation? What do you think of them now?[/b] I don't recall telling a specific totally-not-a-superhero-person (Hana) about my doom. Maybe I did? I mean, I'm the same as the normal people, but there are just so many normal people it's hard to tell them apart, you know? Even if they are cute. I remember telling my long-time-friend-who-understands-everything about it. That's a thing that happened. In other words, I told Alex about my doom, yeah, and she shared some particularly interesting secrets about herself. It's what friends do, ja? And as friends, how I feel isn't gonna change. It's no secret her mom's a bitch; why would any related revelations be a huge surprise? In my experience, people don't change much, and tend to self-reinforce their ideas and actions. Why do you think we moved halfway across the world to come to Halcyon City? No one likes it when you point out how bad of a person they are. It's why I don't believe in middle ground - you're good or you're evil, and anyone who says they're neither is either a liar or hasn't found their true path yet. Most people are good. Just not what's-her-name. [b]Riley was telling me about the student body of Halcyon High and I understand that there are cliques and groups and the sort. What are your thoughts on this?[/b] That's a real thing? I thought it was some myth propagated by the film industry. Here I am with my small group of friends, not worrying about us all being the same (I mean, most of us are the special type, but not all), when I should be finding people who are exactly like some shallow classification I file myself under. What would I even go with? I'm not particularly close to any one classification. I'm just...a girl. I like fun. I like cookies. I like...cakes. And pies. And...cookies...and brownies, and...and...crumpets! But that doesn't shove me into any boxes. Like I said, I hadn't even noticed they were a real thing until you said something. And now I'm not sure what to think. Should I find one? Eat my daily brownies while they eat whatever they eat at lunch? Maybe they'll go out monster hunting or hunting some other kind of villainous do-badders with me some day. No? A girl can dream. I like my friends enough I don't need to find a way to validate myself. My actions validate me better than other people do. Unless there's a clique for people who are literally going to lose their minds.
