Does the flirting have to happen or is that a perk?

[team_sociopath]

Waste of time if it doesn't happen, I think.

What about the whole saving the world thing?

[team_sociopath]

If you can't flirt at the same time you're saving the world, you probably don't have what it takes, dude.

7. Draw yourself and your friends as ones. Make money off the graphic novel.

[team_sociopath]

I don't draw.

[childofsocal.livejournal.com]

Hm. Do you write?

[team_sociopath]

Usually too busy with, you know, saving the world and stuff.

Would it be all right to discover you look awesome in a different color, instead?

[team_sociopath]

I guess. But you'd have to cite it as a variation on the Thomas Shepherd Technique, and if you didn't credit me on it right I'd probably have to sue you.

Well, it's just that I think I look better in red than in green, that's all. Or blue, that's also a fine one.

[team_sociopath]

Well, okay, but if you go for a red cape you might have to fight Billy for stealing his look. Though capes are kinda dorky anyway.

[inmyothertights]

You forgot: 'discover tenuous family bonds'.

[team_sociopath]

That too. But hitting on Kate is an important part of what I do for the team.

[inmyothertights]

How does it do anything other than annoy Eli?

[team_sociopath]

Does it need to do anything other than annoy Eli? Do you realize how awesome annoying Eli can be?

[deadly_legacy]

You have a girlfriend?

[team_sociopath]

Nope.

[deadly_legacy]

Is it because you referred to her as the hot chick?

[lookjustlike]

Well, I guess number 5 kind of actually works for me too.

[team_sociopath]

I think you have to take out the word in, and making that kinda judgment's my bro's department, not mine.

[lookjustlike]

Okay, fair enough. With the first part. And anyway, isn't the point that I think I look good in green? I mean, just green.

[adamantined]

You blew up your high school?

[team_sociopath]

Yup.

Would it help if I said it was an accident?

[adamantined]

That would depend on the accident.
