What do you do when there's no apocalypse to cancel?

[ life is kind of boring without that. ]
scarletspeedster: (and i know you want to thank me)

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-22 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Enjoy the fact that the world isn't ending right now? Visit a park? Play cards? Go out for dinner? Wait around because it'll probably need saving again really soon?

Or at least, that's my list when that happens.

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I kinda get the feeling that what happens where I'm from is probably a bit different to what you're talking about.

Wanna fill me in?
scarletspeedster: (trust me)

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-22 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Wow, okay that sounds pretty awesome for one thing. That you beat them I mean, not that they were there in the first place.

But it sounds to me like there's tons of things that you could do. Like there must be a lot to repair and rebuild, right? And sure, maybe that seems like a lot and maybe people don't always know where to get started with it all, but an extra pair of hands is always appreciated.

And if you're worried about them maybe coming back, you can probably find things to do to keep an eye on the portal? Maybe find out if there's a chance that another one could happen or something.
scarletspeedster: (serious time)

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-22 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Are you really though?

[Because yeah, it sounds like that's not the case for her at least. He's starting to get an idea about what this is really about now.]
scarletspeedster: (so I was thinking...)

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-22 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, because that sounds convincing.]

You sure? Because it's actually not that weird for people to feel like they miss something like that, especially if it's been their whole life. And you did say that had been going on for a really long time, right?

I mean, it must be kinda scary, like your whole life has to be different now. People don't adapt to that kind of thing easily.
scarletspeedster: (it seems so slow to me)

[personal profile] scarletspeedster 2014-09-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs and smiles a bit sadly, understanding a little of where she's coming from. It's hard to imagine what his life would be like if suddenly no one needed the League anymore.]

I suppose I'd have to ask myself what I wanted to do with my life now. Maybe I could start over with something new, or use what I learned somewhere else. Maybe instead of fighting to save the world, you can help to keep it safe from smaller problems.

It's not going to be easy or perfect, but maybe it's worth it if it means that the world is going to be better from now on.

Make a new one! No, bad answer, do not listen to me.

There must be something still exciting out there, I bet you there is.

Wear impractical, non-apocalypse-friendly clothes. Pet a dog. Find a routine.
gulistan: (Default)

[personal profile] gulistan 2014-09-22 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Because in an alternate universe, where the apocalypse wasn't canceled, there are no other options.

Which is not to say that I'd be wearing heels every day even if our own apocalypse had been stopped, but the luxury of sometimes being impractical is not to be underrated, I think.
gulistan: (Default)

[personal profile] gulistan 2014-09-22 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh — one of many, yes. But where I am from, we have been having an apocalypse for about twenty years, so...those are just a tiny number of things I'd do if we weren't.
gulistan: (pic#)

[personal profile] gulistan 2014-09-24 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. Yes. But not really directly.

[ this is more a war of manipulation and slight of hand; their enemies are not easily made visible. that's why the world's least appropriate person for espionage here is now a spy, technically. ]

Certain parts of it were inevitable, anyway. Empires tend to fall.
fuckvampires: (yeah right)

[personal profile] fuckvampires 2014-09-22 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Alcohol.
fuckvampires: (you said something?)

[personal profile] fuckvampires 2014-09-22 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Something... else celebratory?
fuckvampires: (out of your fucking  mind)

[personal profile] fuckvampires 2014-09-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're killing me here. Try dating?
fuckvampires: (I don't actually mean it)

[personal profile] fuckvampires 2014-09-23 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[aha, the dating thing did lead somewhere! buuuut he's not the asshole he used to be, and there's no point in upsetting her]

Well, good luck then.

[personal profile] meanwhileback 2014-09-22 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Drink heavily, dress flawlessly, insult the lessers. So basically the same thing I would be doing regardless, pretty much.

Why, is an apocalypse a frequent thing where you're from, because. Like, you'd think they'd lose their urgency after the first ten times.
meanwhileback: (my stiletto on your neck)

[personal profile] meanwhileback 2014-09-22 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, question. Does it count as an apocalypse if the world doesn't actually end. Because then isn't it just like... some really unfortunate-ass circumstances.
meanwhileback: (don't need a helping hand i need a batte)

[personal profile] meanwhileback 2014-09-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I always figured it meant more like, the actual act of the world ending rather than just some shit that very nearly happened and then was averted at the last minute by probably some guys in spandex or a really big gun or whatever.
meanwhileback: (it was the perfect disease we had)

...Almost-pocalypse?

[She is HELPING.]

Take some more photos to put on that bulletin board of yours.
streetfighter: i have it with everybody (it's called chemistry)

I'M GLAD I DIDN'T CHANGE IT TO "the rise and fall (& rise again) of fall out boy" THIS MORNING THEN

I remember seeing a torii looking pretty lonely among all those blueprints. Don't tell me that's a postcard.
streetfighter: can i introduce you to mr january? (men of the ppdc)

Better make sure it's still standing then.

That long ago, huh. There must be somewhere else you want to see.
