A little, but that's none of your business!

[opheliac]

Ha! I knew it, tell me more.

[nitropowered]

Why would I do that? It's not lying to just stop talking!

[opheliac]

What is it about me, Fire spit? Is it because I'm everything you wish you could be?

I get that.

[nitropowered]

As if. I don't want to be like you. But I feel like you might get me.

[opheliac]

Of course, I do! People think bombs are just objects with hard shells, but they're waaaay more than that. There's art to them. When you make them, you've got to take your time, be delicate, every little wire and snippet means something.

And explosions are a thing of beauty! What else can turn the sky into those pretty shades of red and orange besides the sunset? Nothing.

[nitropowered]

It's not just the bombs. It's the anger.

[opheliac]

Ah. Normal people don't like geniuses like us. See us as a threat, so they push us around, steal whatever they can from us, and think we'll just suck it up and take it.

We get angry like everyone else, but our anger is too dangerous. Too destructive. We should be all caged up, and be monitored.

[nitropowered]

To some extent. I can't say I remember anyone pushing me around. I was always the one pushing other people around.

But yeah. Everyone wants me to change. To stop being so aggressive, I guess. I'm learning to do that. But something tells me you wouldn't want me to change.

[opheliac]

No way, I wouldn't ask you to change, and people who want you to are super selfish. You should be who you want to be.

— Lookie here, Fire spit. I'm an inventor, a genius, a thief, a weapon, I've blown up a few things, and murdered a couple of people here and there. BUT! I also like to play arcade games, build stuff, make people laugh, color, make graffiti art, love animals, bake sweet stuff, and make coffee...!

I'm a lotta stuff, and I lay it aaaalll out on the table for everyone to see. If you like me, cool! If you don't? Well, you snooze, you lose. I'm not changing for anybody, and you shouldn't either. Be you!

[nitropowered]

Maybe that's why I'm a little into you. But deep down I know it'd be better if I wasn't such a bully and an asshole. So maybe I should change.

But man, having someone who doesn't want to change me feels good. And dangerous.

You sound like a riot.

[ as she listens to him elaborate, there's a soft and subtle rhythmic tick buzzing inside her mind, and her lips tug into a smile that's coated with so much corruption and menace that would make anyone who isn't them feel unease in their own skin.

her eyes glisten in excitement, and she finds herself unable to control her breathing over the sheer thought of having someone who can wreak havoc alongside her. ]

... So what are you waiting for? Be dangerous with me. Why let them keep us caged up, and make us feel so small, when we're so much bigger than them?

— Is it really wrong in wanting to see the fear on our enemies' faces? To see the regret in their eyes after they've realized all the bad they've done to us? To the people we care about? Do you like hearing them beg like I do?

[nitropowered]

[The expression on her face, the way she talks about it...it's like a villain, and for a moment it scares and repulses him.

He doesn't back away.]

I am dangerous. And that's how I feel about villains. Villains who oppress people, who hurt them, who commit crimes, steal and murder and kidnap. Those are the people whose fear I want to see, whose regret I want to see.

So yeah.

[He lifts his head and looks at her.]

I don't know if it's the same thing you mean.
