wondered mildly what it'd be like to be a superhero. Not that he cared, really.

Thinks it would be a really cool burden... If that makes sense.
Nikolaas

didn't like the responsibility involved though.
William thinks

that some normal people have even more responsibility than heroes at times, it just depends on the cards life deals you.

Nikolaas

didn't have any responsibility ever. He wasn't much of a busy man as it was.
William
13 years ago
's curiosity is peaked, 'What do you work as?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugs. "Florist by day, semi-bar tender at night."
William
13 years ago
grins, 'A bartender? What bar?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
sighed. "The one down the street. It's pretty quiet normally."
William
13 years ago
Nods, 'Might have to pop in... What about the florist? Is it the local one?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
nods. "It's the only one that's good. Though, expensive."
William
13 years ago
Nods, 'I know the place... Can't afford it.' He grins cheekily, 'Maybe you could give me a discount?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
narrowed his eyes a bit. "Depends on what you buy, in that case."
William
13 years ago
Hums, 'How about a bunch of Carnations.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugs. "Sure. Those can be discounted easily."
William thinks
13 years ago
of something more challenging, 'How about Tulips?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
narrowed his eyes at him. "No discount."
William
13 years ago
blinks, 'W-why?' He seems genuinely puzzled at the extreme response.
Nikolaas
13 years ago
sighed as he lit a smoke. "Because. They're rare to come by. At least the quality I have."
William
13 years ago
leans against a wall, 'I guess you have to charge an arm and a leg for flowers if you're maintaining an expensive habit like that.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugged. "My flowers are for the best in town, and I take care and pride in all of them. I get plenty of business anyways."
William
13 years ago
laughs, 'I wonder if it's repeat business though...' He has to say he finds the other amusing at least.
Nikolaas
13 years ago
huffed and tapped his ashes off. "I don't care what you say. All I know is that I'm making money, and people like what I give them."
William
13 years ago
glances at the other, amusement only growing. 'If I give you a review I'll be sure to mention that.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
raised his brow. "Why? And how?"
William
13 years ago
holds out a hand, 'I'm William Keanes, Journalist for the Local Paper... you may have seen my name on the front page.' He shrugs, 'And when news is slow, I like to write reviews.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shook his hand hesitantly. "Oh. I've seen some things. Don't read the news often though."
William gives
13 years ago
him a hearty handshake and a wink, 'As long as you read it sometimes. Every paper you buy helps fill my stomach.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugs. "Fair enough. Everyone here is just trying to make a living after all."
William
13 years ago
smiles, 'Some do better than others.' He steps back, looking around. 'So aren't you even a bit curious about the heroes?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
made a face at that as he stepped out his cig. "Not really. I'm not in to all that high and mighty crap."
William
13 years ago
raises an eyebrow, 'You really think they believe themselves to be better than others? I think a lot of them would rather be normal...'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugged as he looked to the sky. "I still don't see what the whole big deal about them is, really."
William
13 years ago
hums, 'I think the big deal is that there is so much they could do with the powers they have, so much terror and anguish that they could inflict upon society and instead of opting for that, they protect us...'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
sighs. "Some people are just too good hearted I guess." He lit another smoke, shaking his head a bit.
William
13 years ago
steps away a bit, not much of a smoker himself. 'So you'd use your powers for evil then?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
nods. "Of course. I could get anything I wanted then."
William
13 years ago
laughs, 'But you'd always be on the run... no chance to enjoy them.'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
hummed. "I wouldn't make myself known. And wouldn't terrorise people. Just get what I want and leave."
William thinks
13 years ago
. 'So you'd actually be causing less harm to society by not denting poor guy's pockets?' He kids.
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugs. "I'd not specifically aim for one type or group of people. Just whoever gets in my way."
William
13 years ago
nods, 'What if you rob from a small store and it goes bankrupt though?'
Nikolaas
13 years ago
shrugged. "Their own fault."
