how to wrap a cat [OPEN]

[charismatic]

Who: Will and ~*you*~
What: Running errands, doing inadvisable things at work, drinking, dancing, etc.
Where: He works out in Serpolet and lives in Mog Hill but wherever works. Just specify a time/place when you tag in.
When: All this week and bits of last week.
Notes: IF YOU WANT TO WORK OUT SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC/A DIRECTION/WEVS, just poke me on plurk or something. Be prepared for a lot of unnecessary capslock. Also, there is no cat, I was just watching this video.
Warnings: None as yet!

He's starting to settle in, as much as anyone can settle in, here. He's got a job he enjoys and an apartment he doesn't mind and maybe a couple friends. Will figures he's doing reasonably well for himself. Everyone knows him down at Tinker's Lot now, his neighbors don't bother him, and he's starting to piece together his favorite places to go to blow off steam.

So he learns the train routes and schedules, he goes shopping occasionally, and he gets used to mundane things like carrying a messenger bag and having hard currency. Nothing seems too jarring when everything is wrong, and Will's adaptable. If he focuses on the immediate problems of livability and keeps himself reasonably occupied, he's fine. Things start to look familiar.

He doesn't so much ignore the tension underneath as set it aside, put it away for later. There's not much he can do about it now, and he's a practical soul. If he wants to get to a place where he can, he needs to have his feet firmly under him and a clear head. Hitting up dance clubs doesn't always help with that, but a guy's allowed his vices, right?

"That's so cool," someone really needs to take Steph up to the Watchtower one day so she stops fangirling about space so much, "I talked to a woman on the network who was from the future and she lived on a not-Earth planet, and there's a guy who's a starship captain back home."

“I knew there had to be other people out there.” He grins, hopping over a stray bit of debris protruding out into the path. Someone should fix that. Anyway. “Most of the people I've met so far have been really surprised to hear about space.”

"Space travel ism't huge in my world, but we have experience. We have people from space, but they mostly do the superhero thing, so they don't mix with the general population much," Steph's best friend is an alien, but that's sort of a secret, "And there's a space police that have a few operatives on Earth, but again, they're a special case."

"Ooh," Will says, considering. "We don't really have superheroes. Just soldiers." Which aren't the same thing at all, whatever he might have thought at 18. But there aren't any people who can fly without machines at home, either, or with -- whatever powers some people have, around here.

"It's kind of my world's thing, apparently. Not a lot of other people here had them, unless they're in comic books," It's really weird, one of the things that makes her feel so out of place in Baedal because she grew up idolizing Superman and Wonder Woman, and it's odd to imagine people who didn't have that.
