Guidance Counselor's Office, Thursday

[electrocynic]

Electroclash. In her office, slouching in her chair behind the desk. Wondering about buying a mini fridge. She wasn't even sure what for, she just thought it might be fun. For snacks, maybe. Meanwhile, the radio was playing the best of this year's Eurovision. Of course.

Come in if you dare.

[Ooopen. Mod your emails as usual, or just come by for whatever reason. Same old, same old.]

"Miss Electroclash," Emily said brightly as she walked in. "Do you have any hobbies?"

Emily was never going to stop trying to reverse the roles, nope.

[electrocynic]

Well, might as well. Electroclash wasn't that great at playing hers to begin with.

"I don't think that's any of your bloody business, Miss Thorne," she rasped, cheerfully. Slouching in her seat some more.

"Are you English? I thought you sounded a bit English," Emily said, unfazed by the tone. "And I was just trying to think of ways to occupy my time, so who better to offer counsel than a counselor, right?"

[electrocynic]

"Well, I'm not a fucking hobby instructor." She was also very English. Specifically working class and Midlands-y. Meaning she'd just said that as 'fooking'. "Not my area of expertise."

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

Okay, English. She got it.

"What was your area of expertise, again?" Stop being a pain, Emily.

[electrocynic]

"Heroics and dealing with brats such as yourself."

That latter bit was a lie. She had no expertise there. Unless you counted how well-versed she was in just dealing with people in general.

"Heroics?" Emily asked as she looked at her like she hadn't caught the gist already. "This should be very dull to you then."

Was everyone in this school a superhero?

[electrocynic]

Just the ones with names like Electroclash!

... And okay, a whole bunch of the others, too.

She shrugged. "Bein' a cape is just a job like other jobs. It's not that exciting."

"You make it sound like a desk job. Don't you fly around and destroy secret bases?" Emily asked, feeling like her short childhood had been a lie.

Oh wait, it had been anyway. Details.

[electrocynic]

Electroclash clucked her tongue. "You're thinking of Excelsor." Well, heroes like Excelsor, anyway. "I take the bus."

"But once you get there, you kick ass, right?"

Right?
