Superhero Party Mingle
The time has come! All of the stars have aligned at it is...

Superhero Party in Quatro Park! Some decorations have been put up, mostly appearing to be comic book action words like 'BLAM!' and 'POW!'. There is a table for food with picnic-ish style fare. A few placards for the food are mildly punny for another who has read comic books. Another table is set up for make your own masks for those that weren't prepared. There are a few games out, but periodically Carl will host the foam sword "battles" set to music that is not fitting for a sword fight just for amusement value.

Anyone can come to the party even if they just want to be themselves and not pretend to be a superhero.

	It was awhile ago. [ And he's been here practically forever. ] And I guess you're right... maybe the ones saying they're superheroes are the least heroic. I can't remember hearing any of the spandex brigade we have here call themselves that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spandex parade? [She chuckles as the words trip off her tongue.] Quite the moniker. So in the spirit of the party, who's the best hero you've ever met? If you've met any. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That... is a really good question. ] Here or home? And how do you define a hero? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-07 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	Either. And I'll leave the definition up to you. Heroes are very personal after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's quiet for a moment, mulling it over. He could go with a fictional person - plenty of heroes there - or one of his colleagues because heaven knows they definitely apply, but in the end he goes for something unexpected. ] My mom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Oh. Well then. It was a surprise, but Martha's smile only falters the tiniest bit before turning from amused to warm.] Yeah? Why is that? [It's a genuine question. Though the answer had been unexpected, now she's intensely curious as to why he chose his mother.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-09 11:32 am UTC (link)
	[ This is getting personal but honestly, he doesn't mind. Not anymore. ] She's... my mom, you know? [ Little smile. ] She got some... incredible disadvantages in life and she still did her best with what she had. She tried as hard as she could. How about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-09 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles with him. It's very sweet. Then he turns the question back on her and she chuckles.] I don't know if anything I say can follow that up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not a competition, is it? I'd like to hear what you're thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, I've met so many. I mean, Shakespeare was pretty incredible. And now I have a whole set of sonnets written about me... but during the Paradox... yeah. I think all those people who fought in the resistance. Without a hope in the world.

[She doesn't remember if she told Reid about her life or not. Oh well.]

And this alien creature. He was a member of this species called the Hath. He saved me from some quicksand.

[There's a lot more to that story. But it involves death and this isn't quite the place to tell that story.]

	[ She has a lot of examples going and he can't help but admire that a little. Sure, he's had his fair share of adventure but it doesn't really come close. It's not the same. ] You've been through a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-10 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Unlike her last encounter with this place, most of what she's talking about is far enough in her past that it's just stories. Sure some of it is troublesome, but she's made peace with most of it.] I have. And I came out stronger for it. And the good parts were really excellent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-11 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose that's life. We go through a lot of... a lot of crap but at the end of the day it's still worth it. [ He can relate to that. Some days there's more crap than he feels he signed up for but it's still outweighed by the good things. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-12 01:06 am UTC (link)
	Completely. [Martha starts twisting the wedding ring on her left ring finger, still new enough to be a little foreign.] Good things definitely came from all the shit. Otherwise, I'd definitely have to call the Universe and complain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-12 11:15 am UTC (link)
	[ He makes an amused noise at that. ] If there's anyone the Universe would listen to, I bet it's you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-12 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	[Martha chuckles.] Thank you for the compliment, but I certainly can't make that happen! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-13 10:23 am UTC (link)
	That's a shame. We'd all be home by now if that was possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-15 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh yes. Can't say I was really happy to be brought back... though I suppose I never actually left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-15 10:45 am UTC (link)
	It's weird like that, isn't it? I lost four days a couple of months ago and I'm still not really feeling like I've adjusted from it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's very strange. Jack said it almost feels like they have us from way ahead in our timelines and are just parsing out the knowledge as they see fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-16 10:44 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [ He's never thought about it like that before. It's something else. ] So... instead of adding memories we're regaining them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-17 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Right. I can't decide which is a worse feeling. That they send us home for more memories, or that they have us from really far ahead. They could potentially have us from as far ahead as the end. Not Jack... [Because she knows what he looks like at the end, and it's not how he looks now. She saw his body behind those doors. He's definitely Jack.] But some of us...

	That would mean that any aging we do is imaginary as well... if our real bodies are at a point further up ahead. Though, if that's true, then the times when we've been awake must've been a simulation as well. I don't know of anyone who experienced that and noticed great physical differences. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notrosesshadow 2016-02-19 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Right. [Though there's a chance she dies fairly young anyway in her timeline... could account for the not aging. Martha's going to skate past that thought.] Well, it's at least another theory to add to what I'm sure are many. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-19 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	[ That's one thing he doesn't want to think about. If he doesn't age, how soon does he die? 32? ] Yeah... and right now we need to pursue any theory we can think of. There's no room to be picky just because we might not like the answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
