Everybody wants to rule the world

WHO: YOU.
WHERE: Downtown Cape Canaveral
WHEN: Wednesday January 15th, around 5 PM EST
WHAT: Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; let us know if this should be edited.

    Cape Canaveral. It's no longer the heat of the day and in January the temperatures will be livable; not too hot and not too cold, either. A pleasant change from the City, perhaps. The sun is on its way to setting but the last light of the day still fills the sky, bursting the city into color. The air smells like ocean.

    The locals are friendly and smile and wave, looking on at you in awe. They'll approach if you ask for help, or a question, but they don't want to interfere, either; if you want to be left alone you probably will be. American flags can be seen in many windows and restaurants are rolling out their dinner menus. There's no parade, no big banners, but many storefronts have handmade signs and posters that read:

    Welcome, imPorts! We love you!


    The woman at the Porter told you what to expect: You know what your tattoo means, you've been given your file, and you know in a few hours they're going to be here to answer more of your questions and see if you'll stand with them or if you'll go off on your own. "It's your decision," one of them had said, but you were already told what you get if you agree and what you don't if you don't. After that's done, she told you, you'll be driven to your new homes.

    In the meantime, enjoy the area, or try to. It may not be what you're used to, but after the apocalypse even Florida might seem like an improvement.

Nothing. No secrets. Nothing to lose.

[ It's no surprise to him that Hooded Justice struggles with the surprise. The man guards himself so obsessively; the idea must be difficult to comprehend -- especially after they thought each other similar.

More and more, they just keep proving the opposite.

Aren't you?

Only to certain sorts. Law breakers.

[ But whose law, was the question. HJ didn't really buy into the law of anyone but himself, written clearly in his action more than anything else.

He never had lived by any rules but his own. Then again, he knew well that neither did criminals -- and he would speak their language if he had to practically shout it to them.
]

The deserving.

More than them.

[ It's a push. One he's confident to make now. He's seen and heard too many things from Hooded Justice; too much to be coincidence ]

Isn't it?
ropedin: (The Hanged Man)

[personal profile] ropedin 2014-01-30 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Only the deserving.

[ He repeated himself. Who the deserving were, to Hooded Justice, was the real question. One he didn't intend to answer. He didn't think his work was on the line in this situation.

It shouldn't be. Even HJ wouldn't be so foolish as to take his opinions out beyond words, in some situations. Even he knew how to operate in civilized society. How else would he be considered a hero?

[ That's what he thought. ]

What comes of that will be on your head.

Repeating history.
ropedin: (This isn't funny)

[personal profile] ropedin 2014-02-01 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[ He said firmly, sternly. ]

I will not allow it.

[personal profile] fronttowardenemy 2014-02-01 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that simple.

Out of your hands.
ropedin: (Not sure if I want?)

[personal profile] ropedin 2014-02-01 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing is every completely out of hand.

I refuse to let it simply happen.

[personal profile] fronttowardenemy 2014-02-02 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
With your method, it is.

You don't change; your ending won't either.

Don't be stupid.
ropedin: (Worst People)

[personal profile] ropedin 2014-02-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
It will always be different.

[ There was no Nite Owl, no Mothman here. No question -- as Nelson had suggested -- of his morality, at least not in this. Not the way that was suggested to him this way. He leveled a look at him. ]

It will not happen in the same way twice. [ Because Hooded Justice wouldn't let it, even if he had to change his tactics, in small ways. ]

[personal profile] fronttowardenemy 2014-02-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're careful.

[ But he isn't going to waste warnings. HJ has made his position clear; there wouldn't be reasoning with him.

However:
]

You know what I'll do, if you overstep.
ropedin: (Don't take my fucking picture)

[personal profile] ropedin 2014-02-03 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I only go as far as I must.

[ Stated simply. Plainly.

He didn't fear this man -- even if he knew his face. HJ refused to give him that power, even if it was a nagging feeling at the back of his head.
]

[personal profile] fronttowardenemy 2014-02-05 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That reassurance doesn't fill him with confidence.

Frank has said as much as he will. He merely nods, and he goes.

His legs better heal before the man attempts something stupid.
