[Anon, writing disguised but shaky with a few scribbled out words]

[tightsofmight]

To everyone who came through the Sun Room last night.

I'm sorry. I know that won't change anything, but I really am. Especially to the guy with the curly hair, I'm so sorry. It was appalling what I did to you, and I wish

I would have never

Please. If there's anything I can do to make it up to any of you, let me know.

[On an unsigned separate note, some distance from this one]

Kurt, [ink blot] Kitty,

I'm really, really sorry. I was being a complete tool even with the...thing. Is your friend okay? Are you guys okay?



[On yet another unsigned note, with the same writing he used to taunt Grell]

Brainy,

I'm still here. I don't know how, but I am. Are you all right?

[He's all booked up today, but tomorrow's free?]

...Kurt told you my name, didn't he? I didn't imagine that?

Look, I know what you mean, but I wear the mask for a reason. And I don't know you. I'm sorry for what I did, I really am, but I can't meet you in person. You already know my name, and that's too much. Does that make any sense?

[Terry claims him for a shift then!]

No, you didn't imagine that.

And trust me, I get it. A lot more than you think I do. That's why I want to talk, in person. In private.

You know what I look like. Just think about it, okay? If you're the kind of guy I think you are, then maybe we've got enough in common to work together. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.

[Go Teen Heroes Go!! ...Also this note is folded over and secret like. Easily removed too.]

Are you implying what I think you're implying?

Did you know Kurt and Kitty beforehand, or are you from another world?

[The above two notes are gone now. This one is also folded over. Go ultra-secret security measures!]

Folding notes? Man, I wish this was a terminal.

But yeah, I am. And I was hoping that you being a smartass last night wasn't just for show. Looks like you got it though, so I'm taking the message down.

Don't know if we're from different worlds, but I just met them last night. Didn't even know Kurt was Kurt until he said it to you. He gave me a different name.

Sorry. There's no one who can vouch for me, if that's what you're going for.

[tightsofmight]

[More of the same! Shall we put a blanket fold and tear on this conversation?]

You and me both. Origami sucks as security.

I'm not always only occasionally a smartass. When the mask is on. Anonymity does that to you.

Fair enough. Chances are that if you've never heard of me or them, then you're from a different world.

I wasn't expecting there to be. That's part of the whole masked shebang. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I owe you that much, at least.

[gothamsfuture.livejournal.com]

[Sounds good to me.]

Tell me about it. I don't think I've used a pen this much in my whole life.

Just when the mask is on?

Could be. Seems pretty common around here, anyway.

Well, I'm not going to turn you down, but you don't owe me anything. Last night wasn't your fault. Not that it's something you haven't heard already, but it is true.

[tightsofmight]

Not even in class? Don't tell me you use a laptop for everything.

...I tone it down sometimes. I swear.

Yeah, I know. But that's not really the point Thanks, though.

[gothamsfuture.livejournal.com]

...Well, yeah. Why wouldn't we? Especially with all the fuss over saving the trees that happened a few decades back. Pretty much everything that can be computerized is where I'm from.

I think I'll wait to see that for myself.

I know. But this old guy I know told me that blaming yourself? Isn't productive. What happened, happened. Either you can mope about it, or you can do something about it. Keep focusing on the guilt, and you might miss something important that happens next.

Plus, your friends are going to be really pissed if you do something stupid. Like say, letting some guy take a shot at you because he lost the fight? Better not to be a twip and just avoid that whole mess.
