unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

Never.

[Of course there is far more to a story than that, but truth didn't have to be covered in elaborate trappings.]

And you don't include yourself in the 'people' category?

[Since he might choose the hard way over the easy way.]

No. "People" is a generalization. An oversimplification, yes, but patterns are difficult to ignore.

So what do we do about it? About people.

You don't consider yourself part of larger society?

Larger society wants me in jail, so not really.

Oh? And just what did you do?

I take things that don't belong to me but should.

[That's one way of putting it.]

You're leaving out the details. What kind of things?

I have a weakness for art. Things that are pleasing to look at. Lucky for you, I don't collect people.

[A flirty smile goes with that. She's collected and broken more than a few hearts, though.]

And lucky for you, I know that people aren't meant to be collected.

[Her smile is matched with one of his own with a bit of a challenge behind it.]

Do art collectors have names or is that reserved for the pieces themselves?

[Not meant to be collected, but it doesn't stop someone from trying to collect her every now and again.]

Felicia. And yours?

Erik Lehnsherr.

[It makes no difference to him whether she has heard his full name or not.]

A pleasure, Miss Felicia.

Likewise, Erik.

[He's getting more interesting all the time.]

I hope you don't spend all of your time thinking about people patterns. Fixing society is probably a lost cause. You must enjoy other things, right?

The world is an inhospitable place. That doesn't mean it should be left that way for future generations.

But a life's work is not the only way I choose to spend my time, you're right. I do enjoy travel and the outdoors, particularly if a nice drink is involved.

Making the world a better place hasn't really been my thing. It's a lot of responsibility.

[Though she has been known to do that on a smaller scale by taking down a bad guy or two. Felicia just wouldn't admit to being one of the good guys.]

I can't disagree with a nice drink, though.

What about a nice drink with company?

I was hoping you'd ask.

[If he didn't, she would have done the asking.]

If your art collecting isn't keeping you busy I'm available on Sunday.

I can make time for you.
