The Art of Bandwagoning

[evilbeej]

Ganked and modded from infinitepryde:

Ask any of my role-playing characters, including NPCs and the characters I still have in development/have plans for in the near future, a question and I will answer in an in-character manner.

At the moment, not counting my regulars that're currently being played by Keetee:
Impulse, Cosmic Boy, Natasha Irons, Sandy Hawkins, Lydda Jath, Lori Morning, Pete Wisdom, Heinlein Filmore, Vesper Antagonist, Orient.

If you know any of my unlisted regulars and would prefer to ask them, go for it.

(God I hate apps. Why can't I just play? *sigh* (I know.))

Bart: Nope! Maybe someday. But y'know... there're a lot of people who want to be the next Flash, and a lot of people who probably *should* be the next Flash, and besides, Wally's supposed to be the Flash until he's like ninety-whatever, so... I don't think I *need* to be the Flash. Which is fine with me. If I *need* to be the Flash, then I can step up. Otherwise, I've got a lot of stuff to do. :)

Nat: I don't.

Pete: What the hell do you mean, the 'mutant landscape'? You realise that's an artificial cultural creation, right? Fucking idiot charismatic psychopaths getting people to follow them, convincing their followers that they're *better* than the goddamn rest of the world so they've got something to feel fucking *special* about, and the leaders getting themselves a batch of sheep to praise them and make *them* feel like they're doing something worthwhile, when all they're fucking doing is starting shit! As soon as you've got yourself a dividing line -- a 'your people' versus 'my people' -- anyone who tries to lead either 'side' in this bullshit is just as guilty as the first ape what cracked another one's head open with a fucking rock because it were threatened by, fuck if I know, a mutant opposable thumb. Or a LACK of opposable thumb. Whatever the fuck, I'm not a scientist. The most important and positive figure ON THE EARTH right now, I'd say, wholly depends on what is most important and positive to you, the individual. The one with the most general positive importance? The Dalai Lama.

Some small, horrible portion of my brain has a very good auditory memory. And keeps casting the Pete rant as the voice of Jeremy Piven.
