Careful. I did just mean with kiss saving. That's too high a bar to set for regular old saving where few if any kisses are involved.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Ah so you do hero work in exchange for kisses only?

[passingthrough]

What? Do you do it for money?

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

What? No! I do it because it's right.

[passingthrough]

Relax, I was kidding. It's not like I do it for kisses either.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

What, you don't? I was so sure that would be the only incentive for you. [Oh the sarcasm]

[passingthrough]

You have an impressive ability to cycle from earnest to sarcastic quickly.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Consider it my superpower? [He shrugs]

I know some who do the hero gig for fame and product placement and find it a bit. Distasteful?

Not that there isn't Batman merchandise out there? and we do make money from some of it but it's one of those all proceeds go to charity kind of deals.

[passingthrough]

Well, rest assured there's nothing like that back home. We don't even have money anymore. [For terrible reasons, not enlightened ones.]

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Is it more of a barter system? or a take what you can to survive post Apocalyptic world?

[passingthrough]

The second one. I mean, the occasional barter probably happens in refugee groups too. I don't know.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

I honestly don't know what to say to that. I'm sorry you had to live in that?

[passingthrough]

We all live through what we live through. It got to be my normal. [That doesn't exactly make it easier, but she's not sure how to accept people apologizing to her for it. She knows they mean well. She'd probably say the same thing in their place. She's not offended. Just a little awkward about it.

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

Yeah, I know but I don't like that there are people who have to live this kind of normal. I would change it if I could.

[passingthrough]

Well, that was what I was working on. If we were all self sacrificing where would we be? A very sad paradise?

[permanentlyexhaustedbird]

The idea isn't to be self-sacrificing but to be proactive about changing things? At least that's what I was trying to do.

Po-TAY-toe, Pah-TAH-toe. [So dismissive, Kitty.]
