5th Curse [Text] [After the contest.]

[badluckbabe]

So, random topic time: what inspires you?

I really had a blast getting ready for the contest, and I think I'd like to do more stuff like that in the future you know? It felt artsy in a different way. Different from dancing or drawing.

And obviously Miss Fortune liked it too. She's been making me swap out my pokemon so she can show all of the ones I don't normally keep on hand the videos.

So where do you guys go when you're looking to be inspired? Are there people you know or knew who inspire you? Maybe a song or a book you really liked?

Used to be back home I would look up famous people from my world and study them. Try to figure out what made them so great. That way I could be more like them. Seriously looking back on it I was taking it WAY too seriously.

[As if she doesn't still.]

Besides when I finally got to meet my so-called hero she turned out to be kind of a selfish tool. So that sucked.

Anyway even if you don't wanna get all inspirational, if you liked Miss Fortune's performance let her know. Maybe she'll send you an autograph or something.

What hero isn't a selfish tool though? Everyone can and probably is selfish.

Inspiration is a necessity. I'll find it even if I have to pry it out of nothing.

Well, not all of them. From my research Wonder Woman is pretty much a perfect magical being. Too bad she's not here for me to test that theory.

I'll give you points for determination, but how do you pry it out of nothing? Isn't there a saying about squeezing blood from a stone?

[ Somewhere Miss Fortune is squealing with glee and sends back an autographed picture of her flexing and winking.]

Anyone naming themselves Wonder Woman is at least arrogant.

There is, but that's why you don't squeeze stones. I just keep trying things until it fits together.

Fair point, but she didn't pick the title. It was thrust upon her by the media after she started fighting for justice and protecting the innocent. Her original title was "Princess Diana of themyscira." It's a whole thing.

[And she's a total geek for strong women of fame and infamy in her world.]

So basically you just keep throwing yourself into it until you figure out what you want to do? Kind of like brute forcing a writers block.

I'd go by the royalty thing. The media is stupid with nicknames. They call me a fairy for example.

Yeah. I don't have time or the patience to wait it out.

You won't hear me arguing. I'm much more selfish then she is though so my reputation is important to me.

...well it used to be. I'm trying not to be so uptight about it these days.

So you're more of a "Hustle every minute" kind of guy and not a "Good things come to those who wait" Kind of guy huh? How's that working out for you so far?

Re: [Text]

[borschtkot]

Whatever, if your reputation is important then you care about what others think of you. Not a bad thing. I don't really but whatever.

It's working fine. I get what I need done and it gets done right the first time too because I don't want to have to go back and redo it.

I admire that kind of ambition.

[Even if almost all her ambitions have just left her with scars and a police record.]

So what is it that you push so hard for anyway? What's your goal?

Victory and food on the table. Simple enough.
