* Bob knocks on Miya's door.
* Miya opens the door a crack and peeks out.
* Miya opens the door the rest of the way and looks up at Bob. She's holding a 
plush/beanbag tiger, which flops in her arms. She might have been crying; it's a 
little hard to tell. "Hi?"
<Bob> Hello.
<Bob> You've been crying.
* Miya blinks, then rubs at her cheeks self-consciously. "Maybe a little."
<Bob> Do you want to talk?
<Miya> I... um.  I don't know.
* Miya looks down at the plushie for a moment, then steps out of the doorway. 
"Come in, I guess."
* Bob nods and steps inside.
* Miya closes the door after him.
<Miya> So, um.  What's going on?
<Bob> I don't know.
<Miya> Oh.
* Miya goes to sit on her bed, putting the plushie on her lap.
<Bob> Why did you run away?
<Bob> Er... teleport away, I mean.
<Miya> I was just... embarrassed.  And confused, I guess.  And- and I don't 
know.
<Bob> Why?
* Miya picks at the tiger. "I'm not sure." Her voice drops a little. "I 
guess..." She pauses, trying to find the right words, then shrugs.
<Bob> There's no reason to be embarrassed.  We're your friends.  I think.
* Miya nods. "Yeah, you are. But... um. I don't know."
<Miya> I don't feel like a- a hero or anything.  Nobody told me they were going 
to, um... make me one?
<Bob> I don't feel like a hero, either.
* Miya blinks, then nods again.
<Miya> And, so... I dunno.  I guess it's stupid.
<Bob> I don't think it's stupid.
* Miya looks up at Bob. "You don't?"
<Bob> Why would it be stupid?  If you didn't know, you didn't know.  Now you 
know.  And you can choose, right?
<Bob> I'm not sure, but I don't think anybody can force you to be a hero.
<Miya> I don't know.  I... oh.  Yeah.  I guess they can't.
<Yu-Mei> ( <GM> Not anybody? Damn! )
* Yu-Mei is now known as YuRIll
* Miya thinks about that.
<Miya> How are you?
<Bob> I don't understand.
<Miya> What's not to understand about it?  I want to know how you're doing, so I 
asked.
<Bob> Oh.  
<Bob> I'm confused, mostly.  I find myself confused a lot.
* Miya tilts her head.
<Miya> About what?
<Bob> A lot of things.  You and Daegal, especially.  You're confusing people.
* Miya blinks.
<Miya> I'm confusing?
<Bob> Yes.
<Bob> ( /me is suddenly reminded of the gawdawful movie Agent Cody Banks. )
<Bob> ( "We spent twenty million dollars training this kid and nobody taught him 
how to talk to girls?" )
<Miya> (*laughs* Yes!)
* Miya blinks again.
<Miya> Um.  How?
<Bob> I don't know.  That confuses me.
* Miya scratches the back of her head.
<Miya> Well... I don't know how either?
<Bob> That's okay.  I won't hold it against you.
<Miya> That's good.  I think.  But... um, I can't un-confuse you if I don't know 
what you're confused about.
<Bob> that's okay.  I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
<Miya> Okay.  If you're sure.
<Bob> I sure think I'm sure.
* Miya giggles a little at that.
* Bob smiles.
<Bob> Feeling better?
* Miya nods. "Yeah." She smiles at Bob. "Thanks."
<Miya> So... what do you wanna do?
<Bob> Go be a hero?
<Bob> I dunno, being at a normal school sounds kinda fun.
* Miya laughs.
<Miya> I mean now.
<Miya> I'll go on the trip, but that's tomorrow.
<Bob> I don't know, really.
<Bob> I like flying.
<Bob> Especially when you go up real high and the atmosphere doesn't get in the 
way of the stars anymore.
<Miya> Wow.  That's cool.  You can go that high up without hurting yourself?
<Bob> It's supposed to hurt?
<Miya> Well... yeah.
<Bob> Oh.
<Miya> I'd like to go flying like that, but I can't.  And it's kind of scary 
anyway.
<Bob> The most fun is when you just let go, and you fall and fall all the way 
back down almost to the ground and then you pull up.
<Bob> It's kinda warm for a while, and then really cold.
* Miya blinks. "Cool."
<Bob> I think you should try flying.
<Miya> But I can't fly.  I'd just go splat and stuff.
<Bob> It's not very hard.  You can already move yourself between places just by 
wanting to.  Flying's not very different.
<Miya> Uh... yes it is?
<Bob> [Session End]
