[Joel's in his apartment yet again, sitting on the floor and assembling what looks like a small table.]

Who's going to that Charity Ball? I'm not sure if I'm going to go. I mean...are we supposed to bring a date or go suit and tie? [He frowns, pausing to fasten a few screws.]

I was thinking about something else too. What do you think about legacy heroes? [A beat for him to check the instructions.] Like back where I'm from, there were more than a few heroes that took on the names and sometimes costumes of older ones when the older heroes stopped heroing for whatever reason. Are there any heroes you think just shouldn't have a successor? Or if you're normally a hero back home, do you hope someone takes up your ID when you get too old or something?

Charity Ball?

What would one do at that sort of thing?

I'm actually not too sure. [He gives a small, apologetic shrug.] I think it's just a party. Get dressed in nice clothing, go talk to other people there, maybe some dancing.

I've never done such a thing before.

[She smiles a bit.]

It all sounds very exciting!

I've never been to a ball before either.

I guess it could be pretty exciting if it's all new to you.

Taking up my legacy.

...an intriguing idea. It is a demanding occupation, I doubt many would be willing.

In your world, did people take on legacies with or without permission?

[a_relative_hero]

It was both I think. I never really got to ask many others but I think I heard about how a few heroes that took the legacies without permission would look for the older heroes to see if they lived up to the name or something like that.

[hacktivist]

Interesting.

I believe there are some 'heroes' in my world whose legacies deserve to die with them, but I doubt we will be so lucky.

I was thinking about going, but somehow going alone... [[trails off. Yeah, it's depressing.]]

[Joel glances up when he hears that voice.]

Yeah...

[He frowns a moment then smiles.] Why not bid on someone at that date auction? Take them if you win?

[[Swaps to video to match just because]]

I only really know one person who's up this time. [[and then there's the whole being out, but not being out thing and feeling far too awkward and this is the worst way to find a boyfriend ever]]

I'm not sure if I'm going either. I don't know anything about it. And I really don't have anything to wear. It sounds fun though. Kinda wish someone had asked me to go as their date.

[A pause as she squints to see what he's building.]

Is that from Ikea?

permavideo!

[a_relative_hero]

I don't know much about either other than what's already been said. [He shrugs.] Why not bid on someone at the date auction? You get in free with them if you win.

I think it might be. I bought it online after I broke my other table.

[hairwasmyroom.livejournal.com]

Oh, I would but I really don't have much spending money.

Were you dancing on your table? I broke one once doing that.
