so new people showing
hi everyone! I'm Kate, or Hawkeye
there's a lot of younger people in the mix as well
before the adults get involved and start poo pooing the idea of *kids* saving the world
I'm sure mine isn't the only one that's been saved by the younger gen a time or two

anyway
I've found a building here that is basically mine from home
my home
it's marked as Bishop Publishing

any teens or 20 somethings need a place to hangout
it's open
there's several games, an archery range, gym, and a lot of other things that can be used to either train or just relax

[address of building here]

feel free to join us
it's all good

No. We haven't. Just another unknown for the mystery board.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm kind of relieved that we ended up with so many people who have handled things like this before. I'm trying to pull my weight, but when it comes down to it, I don't have the experience you do. I don't even know where to start.

But when I say it like that, I can't help but feel like it's a cop out.

Maybe I should be hoping for that hypothetical Tron situation. That, I could do something with.

I may have done something similar a time or more
that doesn't mean I'm not scared I'll screw up
or that I'm not glad to see some of the familiar *adults* from home
because I am

I don't want to be responsible for all of this
I've led teams before
I was the reason one of my best friends died once, she's alive again because of magic but at the time
in any case I was leading the team and she was killed
I don't want that to happen again
I don't want anyone else to deal with that

so if I have to pull everyone together to keep us going
I will

and it's not a cop out to admit you may be out of your league
knowing is half the battle
as long as you do what you can when the time comes
even if that's nothing more than getting other people to safety
you'll have done more than most

[ Of all the possible answers Krouse was expecting, this wasn't even close to one of them. It's honest and vulnerable and brave, and she doesn't know she's wasting all of it on someone who isn't even real.

A faded pang of guilt comes easy and already tired, a ghost curling up in a dusty corner of his chest. He can deal with it. He always does. ]

It's not all on you to figure out. I know you know that, but for the record, I don't think anyone is expecting it out of you, either. And if they are, they're a dick.

And speaking for myself, I'm responsible for me. I won't turn down a timely arrow, if the occasion arises, but in case I was on the list, go ahead and take me off. I'll get myself sorted out.

I'm sorry about your friend. Glad you got her back.

[notthatstraight]

thanks
for all of that
I know I take on more than I need to
but I'd rather do too much than not enough

and if you need it there will be arrow there for you

[equivo]

Good thing we're not in a scenario creating any kind of pressure to overachieve. Then you'd really have a problem.

Thanks back at you. Mostly for the console access, if I'm being completely honest, but the arrow thing is also reassuring.

I should get going, but see you around?

[notthatstraight]

I'll take it

sure, you know where to find me
let me know when you're ready for that game

[equivo]

You got it.
