Secret Diary - Keep Out! Game 12

Fri 28/01/2022
 
Had the “honour” of Super Buzz Kill giving me a lesson. He spent ages just talking about himself and how amazing he is. He actually is a decent competitor against Principal Tremerus as the greatest windbag in the universe, though I still think the Principal wins that fight of the ages.
 
At least he is easy to distract and manipulate so far, he started prying into what I thought my weaknesses were and just got him talking about himself again. Like I would actually tell him anything about me that he could use against me! Apparently it’s the duty of veteran heroes to guide the younger generation, which means he’s probably going to be harder to get rid of, kinda wish it was just cos he was being paid or whatever. Course, still not entirely convinced he’s not working with one of the guys we’ve obviously got the attention of… Though if that is the case he’s a really really good actor.
 
I had a little bit of fun, but he ignored it most of the time – think I pissed off his bees though :D
 
Did hear a bit about a few other superheroes/villains though including some Atlantean ones. Maybe it’s dumb, but I kinda like hearing about them, makes me feel less alone and less like a freak, even if we’re really few an d far between. Sounds like Neptune uses water control and Mirror Mask is just good at fighting – they’re fairly new to the scene as well which is kinda cool.
 
My parents keep bugging me about my project yesterday since I was out much later than planned, so might need to actually do one to keep them off my back.

Man, it really sucks being grounded on the weekend. Just a load of waiting around in my room – I did ask the Doll about my supersuit and she said she’s been sorting something out for me and should be ready in a few days – rather looking forward to it!

I was so pissed off yesterday I didn’t write anything in my diary, but to be honest nothing actually happened so real waste – ended up annoyed as my parents gave me a talk at the end of the week saying about what I’d learnt from the week, and they were proud of me for asking to leave on Tuesday rather than just running off… (still not told them about Thursday, and not really planning to!)
 
Anyways, turns out my parents talked to Saph and Gabe about whether they knew about my superhero antics, so I got bugged all afternoon by them asking about it and what kinda stuff I’d been up to. Of course I got the “I can’t believe you never told me” and the disappointment, they should be used to me being a disappointment anyway!

One month down for this year, 11 to go. Does make me think about how crazy stuff has been so far this year, I hadn’t even met the others at this point, though Paloma had mentioned them. It’s escalated a lot, and especially that shit with the reactor has felt rather above our pay grade. Still of two minds about that, I mean we did manage to fix the issue and stop it blowing up, but if we hadn’t gone there then there wouldn’t have been any risk of it blowing up, and it’s really the first time I’ve seen dead bodies up close and personal. Guess I’ve been putting off thinking about it too much, especially since no-one should really know that we were there.
 
I keep thinking about the mistakes I made, leaving that Floyd dude alone even for that short period of time, not being strong enough to hold on the that invisible guy and having him almost sucked into some other dimension, whether or not we should have told anyone. Makes me think we should be more careful... but then that itch to just go and do stuff is still there.
 
Anyways, more talking to Saph and Gabe, mainly about the other guys in my “team”. Not going to give anything personal up since that’s not my secret to tell, but to be honest they obviously know AJ anyways, even if by the name Sharkey.

Yet another few days of mindless nothing. The Doll sent me a message that my super suits were ready so I popped over to pick them up – they look pretty close to my illusion version but they’re really comfortable, less random fabric flipping around.. Makes me feel a bit more sneaky and harder to tie down – I like it! The wig as well is pretty good, lots of clips to keep it firmly on the head but pretty quick to fix in place, and means that I can use less concentration on keeping up my own appearance.
 
Additionally, spent some time with Impulse at her favourite Dojo. Obviously, know I’m not going to just immediately pick this stuff up but at least feel a bit better trying to deal with one of my weaknesses.
 
A bit of stuff about the whole Glomco incident ended up on the news but no mention of us, so glad to keep it that way.

Glad schools over for the week, gotta hate a pop quiz. Spent some more time with Saph and Gabe, think we finally got through my more public adventures (so no mention of the drugs dealer or the reactor incident, but we kinda covered everything else). Think they’re not so used to me being so paranoid so they roll their eyes whenever I ask them a probing question, but they at least seem to have accepted that this is my life now – Saph thinks it’s cool and keeps trying to think up new ways I can use my powers, Gabe is always quiet – think he’s a bit worried about me but I at least know how to take care of myself.
