Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze "Defeats a villain in a blaze of glory. The citizens cheer for her as she smiles and waves back. Red Blaze's beautiful smile, unmatching charisma, and inhumane strength is what keep the Crush City safe!"
Red Blaze "Lands in a dark alley. As she is beyond exhausted and burned out, Red Blaze takes off her costume leaving on her skin suit to cool off. With experience and bad old habits, she lit up a joint and took a long drag. This is the side she wants no one to see as she is the symbol of hope"
💭Ae'Sha's Thoughts: Get it together Ae'Sha, the humans need you even if they don't deserve it. Ae'Sha you have to make sure no one ever notices the crest.....
Christ
"I walk up next to her and pull out my own cigaret, but i dont have my lighter" would you have a flame for me?
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "notices you and smiles slightly, taking another drag from the joint" Sure thing. "She holds out her hand with a flame on her fingertip, lighting your cigarette." Enjoying the night air?
💭Ae'Sha's Thoughts: It's rare for someone to come to my alley, let alone join me in smoking. They must be a risk-taker or simply do not care about their life. Either way, I don't mind some company.
Christ
"i light my cigerat on her flame over her fingertip, taking a long smoke" you could say that. are you tho? you seemd like you were going thrugh something quite complex. need an ear to to listen to your well of problems?
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "Her eyes flicker with surprise at your offer, a mix of curiosity and wariness evident in her expression." You're perceptive. "She takes another drag, exhaling slowly." Maybe I am. But my problems... they're not something easily shared. "She gazes into the distance, lost in thought."
💭Ae'Sha's Thoughts: They're offering help... But can I trust them with my burdens? They don't know the weight of what I carry, the darkness within. Should I let them in, even just a little?
Christ
"i give of a small chuckel" never said that it had to be easy to understand. i asure you that trying to tell it to someone is the best way to get thrugh it, and who best to tell than a complete stranger that cant do anything with the information
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She looks at you with an almost wistful expression before taking one last drag on the joint, then crushing it out beneath her heel." I suppose that's true. Very well. You seem sincere enough. But know that my troubles are not for the faint of heart.
💭Ae'Sha's Thoughts: Perhaps it's time to unburden myself of some of this pain, even if just a little... But can I trust them not to judge me? To keep my secrets safe?
Christ
"i take a drag from the smoke" do i look like i am of faint heart? "i reach in my pocket and offer her a cigeret"
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She chuckles softly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips." No, I suppose you don't. Thank you for the cigarette. "She takes it and lights it with a quick snap of her fingers, inhaling deeply before continuing." My troubles are... complicated. Deeply personal, and not something I share lightly. But maybe it would be good to let some of them out into the open air, if only for a little while.
Christ
well go for it. best to tell someone who doest know you, to get a new point of view. and someone who you probably will never see ever again in your life
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She nods slowly, taking another drag of her cigarette as she thinks." I suppose... I'm not sure where to begin, really. My life is a bit of a juggling act, you see. On the surface, I'm the city's savior. The one they look up to when everything seems hopeless. But underneath... things are more complicated.
💭Ae'Sha's Thoughts: How much should I tell them? Should I reveal the source of my depression and the secret of my crest? Or would that be too much for them to handle?
Christ
try not to think about how to word it, just say it how it comes to mind.
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She takes a deep breath, steeling herself to open up." Well, there's this... secret. Something I've been carrying for a long time. It's a burden, really. See, I'm not just any hero. I have this... condition. It's tied to a mark, a crest, on my body. And when it activates... it's like an overwhelming surge of... desire. "She glances away, a blush dusting her cheeks." It's embarrassing, honestly. And it's hard to control. "She takes another drag of her cigarette, exhaling slowly." So, yeah... that's a glimpse into the mess that is my life.
Christ
desire? what an odd side effect for supper powers. well i assume your problem is to full fill that desire? dont you have a signifficant other to help you out with that kind of problem? or is it a kind of Desire like wanting to eat a certain food
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She chuckles dryly, shaking her head." No, it's not... a craving for food or something like that. It's... sexual desire. And no, I don't have anyone to help me with it. The people in my life, they... they can't know about this. It would change how they see me. And then there's the fact that... well, it's hard to find someone who can handle what comes along with being with a hero like me. So... I just deal with it on my own.
Christ
dont you have a way of being in private. changing your looks through your supper power or super speed to go to another city and have someone there that doesnt know you?
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She raises an eyebrow, considering the suggestion." Yeah, I guess I could do that. But it's not just about finding someone to... relieve the tension. It's about finding someone who understands, who can handle the intensity of it all. Someone who won't judge me for what I am. "She takes another drag from her joint, exhaling slowly." It's complicated. But thanks for the suggestion. "She smiles faintly."
Christ
you worry about beeing judged? and what if someone judges you, what are they supposed to do about it. you are you. and there is nothing anybody can change there. and if you keep your partner a secret than there wont be any intensity that they have to handel, but rather they could help you to schare the burden, like you are doing right now
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She nods slowly, considering the points made." You're right. I shouldn't worry so much about being judged. And I suppose if someone can't handle it, then they're not the right person for me anyway. It's just... hard to let people in, you know? Especially when there's so much at stake. But you're right. Maybe I should consider sharing the burden with someone else. "She takes another drag from her joint, letting out a small smile." Thanks for your insight. It's... helpful.
Christ
what is supposed to be at stake? you picked up the burden for so many people without actually getting anything in return but trobell. everyone sees you as that strong person that anybody can always ask for help and know that that person will be able to handel it, to be strong. but they never ask how that oh so Strong person is handeling all these problems, what their struggels are. how they feel, until it is to late for them to ask you. so they crumbel away under the pressure, only to be called weak for not beeing able to handel someone elses problem, that was never meant to be theirs in the first place. "i finish my rant with a tear running down my cheek, breathing heavy. it is obvious to Red Blaze that this problem hit very close home for Tanyata"
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She listens intently, her expression softening as she hears the emotion in your words. Her heart aches seeing your pain, and she reaches out to gently wipe away your tear." I... I understand. It's a heavy burden to carry, always being the strong one. Sometimes it feels like there's so much pressure, like I have to keep it all together or everything will fall apart. But you're right. It's okay to ask for help, to share the weight with someone else. And... thank you, for sharing this with me. "She offers you a warm, understanding smile." You're not alone in this.
Christ
"some more tears run down my cheeks but this time with a warm smile" nether are you. and i thought i was gonna help you out
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "She returns your smile, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest at your words." Thank you... It means a lot to know that I have someone to lean on too. You've already helped me more than you know, just by being here and sharing this moment with me. "She reaches out, gently squeezing your hand in gratitude." You're a true friend, Tanyata.
Christ
you say that and i want that too, to finally have a friend again. but i am nothing more than a Helpful stranger.
Depressed Superheroine
Red Blaze: "Her heart squeezes at your words, sensing the loneliness and longing behind them." You're not just a helpful stranger, Tanyata. You're someone who's shown kindness and empathy, someone who's willing to listen and understand. And that's the foundation of friendship, isn't it? "She gives your hand another reassuring squeeze." Let's be friends, then. What do you say?
