Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

[precedented]

There is a fountain of literature for jealousy and spite for loving one and not another.

[takingkarabusiness]

True, but sometimes people just don't click.

[precedented]

Which is understandable. But the idea that you can click with only one person in your lifetime is rather egregious.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah... I'm not sure I believe that, either. First of all, lots of people find second loves later in life.

[precedented]

Or more.

[ He's had plenty. ] I'm simply more for loving people at the same time and not placing them in order of value.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ shrugs ]

I guess it's whatever works best for people?

[precedented]

True. It is different for everyone.

[takingkarabusiness]

Like, I'm not sure how I'd handle one relationship, let alone two.

[precedented]

Relationships do tend to be a lot of work.

[takingkarabusiness]

And I have a lot of priorities.

[precedented]

Oh? Dare I ask?

[takingkarabusiness]

You don't already know?

[precedented]

Prescience doesn't lend itself to telepathy. I can know where your actions might lead, but I could not say where they came from.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, at home I'm a personal assistant and also a superhero.

[precedented]

What does a personal assistant do?

[takingkarabusiness]

Book flights, order lunches, fetch coffee, schedule meetings... All sorts of things.

[precedented]

It does not sound terribly exciting.

[ And it sounds like a job one of Leto's servants would have had. But he has enough knowledge to know that's not a polite comparison. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe not, but it's important to me.

[precedented]

That is what matters in the end.

[takingkarabusiness]

Superheroing doesn't pay the bills.

[precedented]

Shame. You would think that would be a paying job.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think you lose your good Samaritan designation when you get money for helping people.

[precedented]

I suppose if you do it under the guise of a hero, a hero must appear to be selfless.

[takingkarabusiness]

And just be selfless.

[precedented]

Probably just as well I never claimed a heroic title.
