Greg Rollins has posed:
It's a nice evening at least. And one such bit of evening is pretty much undisturbed. No villain attacks, no crazy plots by whoever. It's just mostly people bustling around.

The only slight strangeness is the teenager with the cowboy hat who is more or less in one of the clearer spots from the crowd as he looks over the statue. Over than having a pack over his shoulders, the teen's not exactly standing out. Mostly.

It's the slightly different hue to his skin that's really putting him out of the place. That and the way he stares at the statue, considering it almost as he doesn't do the normal teenager things. No phone out taking pictures, no reading texts. He's just standing there staring at the moment.

Courtney Whitmore has posed:
In a world of heroes, blue boys are not necessary that out of the ordinary for Courtney Whitmore. Nonetheless, she meanders over in his direction. Not necessarily to bother him herself, but just to keep an eye on things. There had been all kinds of issues lately with violence against those that were different, and just in case, she wanted to keep an eye out. Not that she could do much, but...

Greg Rollins has posed:
The teen hums a bit, then looks around. He probably should be asking questions. And well... someone heading in his direction is perfect for him to ask! He turns towards Courtney. "Ah, hello. Um, this may sound strange but... who is that?" He points at the statue.

Definitely not normal teenager.

Courtney Whitmore has posed:
Turning her gaze towards the statue, and then back to Greg, and then the statue again, Courtney nods. She will take this at face value. "His name is Superman - he fought an alien from space that was laying waste to half of the country. And died doing it." She waves her hand around to indicate the crowd. "They are all here to pay him respect for his sacrifice."

Greg Rollins has posed:
Greg huhs, then nods. He looks a bit sad at that. "Uh... thanks." The teen reaches up to scratch at his cheek. He looks a bit unsure. "... uh... my condolences, I guess?"

He turns to start moving away, sighing as he mutters to himself. "... never going to find help..."

Courtney Whitmore has posed:
"It's uh, more complicated than that." Courtney says. As he turns to move away, though, she ventures a different question. "Hey, is there something I can help you with? I assume you're not from around here."

Greg Rollins has posed:
That question has Greg pause, and look at her carefully. "Um... I... don't know? It's a bit complicated. At least here it's peaceful in more ways than one."

He sighs, looking around. "I um..." He scrunches up his nose a bit. "... not from around here. And well... need help with certain ah... abilities?"

Courtney Whitmore has posed:
Scrunching up her nose in a vaguely similr fashion, Courtney nods. "Ok, lay them on me." She glances around for a moment, and then leans in towards Greg. "I know a little something about that. Maybe I can help!"

Greg Rollins has posed:
Greg quirks an eyebrow at that, looking at Courtney. He blinks a few times as she leans in and he actually leans back. "Um... er... well..."

He shrugs, then reaches up to move his hand carefully so just her and people in that general direction can see if they are really looking. Pushing his hair up a bit, it's obvious that his ears are a bit longer and... fused to his head?

He lowers his hand almost just as quickly. "I'm really, really not from around here. Part of it is... erm... all in the head? Other is kinda... more complicated."

Courtney Whitmore has posed:
"Huh." Courtney leans over to peer at the ears, and then shrugs. "I've seen weirder," she says softly, looking around for a moment before back to Greg. "So. What brings you here? Can I help you with that? Are you supposed to meet someone?"

Greg Rollins has posed:
Greg shrugs, "None of the above. I'm just trying to find someone to well... teach me. Like I said, my abilities are all... in the head?" He looks like he's trying to figure out how to explain it without flat out saying it. Or just finding it annoying to not say it. Hard to say there!
