The opening of the museum here is enormously exciting, but it also has me thinking about museums at home.

I know there are exhibits about me in at least a few museums - I've never been to see one, because it feels vaguely egotistical to attend an exhibit about yourself? But I've always wondered what sort of things they have to say about me. What parts of my life are worth putting on display for the public.

If there were a museum dedicated to you, what do you suppose would be on exhibit?

It's not an epithet.

[soupervillain]

Oh yeah right. You're gonna tell me not one, but TWO mundies can turn into tigers? I'm not THAT stupid!

[tigerpoet]

They're alternate universe versions of each other? So they have the same power.

[soupervillain]

Yeah, okay, you know what, that part's cool. This place is kind of like an alternate universe already, right? But how do they have powers if they're mundies??

[tigerpoet]

What's a 'mundie'?

[soupervillain]

Someone without an epithet??

[tigerpoet]

When you say epithet, you don't mean a byname or a title? Like 'the Great' or 'the Man of Steel'?

[soupervillain]

No!! Like a word attached to your soul that gives you cool powers!! Do you guys... really not have those?

[tigerpoet]

Not at all.

[soupervillain]

......Isn't that BORING??

[tigerpoet]

I suppose? Some people come from worlds with abilities that might work similarly, though.

[soupervillain]

Does some people include you? Is writing awesome stories part of your ability?

[tigerpoet]

No, but I have a sword? Is that good enough?

[soupervillain]

A real sword?? Can you use it?

...Wait a second. You're not a police officer, are you?

[tigerpoet]

A real sword, I can use it if I have to, and I'm not nearly talented enough to be a police officer.

[soupervillain]

Okay, phew. Last person I met with a real sword was this scary police lady. Just for the record, I'm pretty sure you can't get arrested for crimes you did in another world, and they can't prove anything. Right??

[tigerpoet]

That's technically true, but you did sort of confess...

[soupervillain]

You can't prove it! TELEPORTS BEHIND YOU!!!

[ ...Is. Is he still there?? ]

[tigerpoet]

[Looks behind him. Nope.]

I'm not going to turn you in anyway.

[soupervillain]

[ After a moment... ]

Yeah, uh, I guess that doesn't work so well over text. But I would have teleported behind you if I knew where you were, so there!!

Hey, really? You're all right, you know that? What would you say to being one of my minions?

[tigerpoet]

No thank you. I'm satisfied with my current job as a teacher.

[being a minion is basically a job, right.]

[soupervillain]

Seriously? Being a teacher sounds pretty boring if you ask me. You don't want some adventure in your life? Some... CRIME adventure??

[tigerpoet]

Not really. Being a teacher seems much more rewarding.

[soupervillain]

What could be more rewarding than the love of your minions?!

[tigerpoet]

Helping a child to believe in themself? Instilling a passion for learning in your students? Seeing someone under your care flourish and succeed?
