She has to be pretty cool to partner up with you.
[Compliment? Casually throwing shade? Both? Who knows.]
Superpower and one other thing. Do I get to pick the one other thing?
no subject
... he hopes it's a compliment. he doesn't have a witty comeback if it's shade. ]
if you don't think i want to hear the kabuki mask story, you're wrong
anyway, those akuma i told you a bit about? they possess people with negative emotions and make them supervillains
so we get an evil mime who can make what he's miming come to life and a guy who can control all the pigeons in paris... one girl could go back in time
[ fun stuff, fun stuff. ]
you softened me with that compliment enough that i'll say sure, you can pick
one rule: any identity-risk options are off the table
no subject
Somehow with a name like "akuma" that doesn't surprise me at all. That makes it even more dangerous though doesn't it? When you're taking people and emotions it's a lot more unpredictable than people with just their own two hands. It sounds like a lot to handle for just the two of you.
[Granted he tried to take on the masked man by himself once upon a time, so he's not really a great source of what is and isn't doable.]
I think that's a pretty fair trade. You've got your reasons, I've got mine, we'll figure it out. People ask you about your identity a lot?
no subject
i'm pretty sure ladybug could handle it all on her own if she wanted to, which means we don't have a lot of trouble with a two person team (most of the time, anyway)
danger's just in the job description, it's a job we have to do, you know how it goes
[ plus it's a job he enjoys, so like he's going to give it up because it's a little bit of !!DANGER!! ]
and kind of. to be honest, i'm more the one asking
maybe you'll get my origin story and identity the same time i get yours?
but i won't ask anything else about it
(^-人-^) cat's word
no subject
But you're right. I know how it goes. Danger, keeping people out of danger, all that stuff.
I think that sounds like a fair trade, even if I'm pretty sure one origin story will be a little more interesting than the other. I just hope it doesn't disappoint you.
no subject
there's a reason she gets a ton of merchandise back in paris
[ half a jest, half not. telling the president of the ladybug fanclub he's biased. how dare you, hiro.
but, seriously. he has his fair share too, but between the two of them ladybug definitely has a bit more star appeal. and it's not like he minds all that much either... considering he totally agrees. ]
also
disappointing's a heavy word
i don't think you need to worry about doing that
[ adrien what
it really is true though. he has a certain respect for hiro even if he's... really just met him. a certain respect that he's sure isn't misplaced, given how well they hit it off. ]
no subject
[Nope. Chat's still biased and nobody can tell him otherwise. He's aware that Chat's a more recognized hero than he is and that alone is enough to make him sort of question everything he knows.]
When you hear the full story, I'm going to remind you of this conversation. But thanks, dude.
Anyway, I should probably put the device down for a while. Still in recovery mode and all that. But I'll talk to you soon?
