Mm. I've always had powers like that, but I didn't realize there were others. Let alone an organization of them who are trying to achieve world domination.
[It's extremely sci-fi comic booky, even to him. Other than this and the existence of ghosts, his world is very normal.]
. . . I think it's because people who have powers usually aren't very good at social interactions. So all of them in Claw must read a lot of comic books.
[ world domination sounds ridiculous, and for a second she is worried she will have to reassess that judgment. but then, mob sounds kind of like he thinks it's ridiculous too. ]
So they're just so socially awkward that they try to become cult leaders?
[He'd argue with her, but he's getting slapped with a memory. Oh. Clem is really sweet. She's so nice to her. . . little brother? It really makes him happy to see this side of her, but the things they're talking about are a lot.]

I don't really understand it. . . but it must be something like that.
[It sounds familiar to him somehow.]
no subject
Any plans for world domination I should be wary of?
no subject
I tried once. . . to run for student council. But when I got up to give a speech, I wasn't able to say a single word.
So world domination is a little. . .

You could always practice public speaking.
Then take over the world. Dream big.

People will like you as long as you're just yourself around them.

You just have to be sincere. Some people won't ever like you, but - if they don't like you when you're being yourself, you don't need them.
no subject
All right. I like that better than giving speeches, anyway.
no subject
I don't think many people like listening to speeches.
no subject
Some people are good at them, though. But that's just another trait, like having psychic powers or being able to eat spicy food.
[Anyway I want a Clem memory too! If you have any you want to give him.]

[ and as is my go-to excuse, when she turns her head, she manages to catch a bubble with the brim of her hat. oops!
mob can have something less traumatizing! yes this counts as less traumatizing. from 54:00 to 57:30 ish! ]

You might turn into a monster?

[ ... ] People here call them zombies? We don't call them that.

[. . . He's heard of them. He's not into that kind of movie, but he's heard of them.]
Even that kid might have to. . . ?

But I'm doing everything I can to make sure AJ survives.

. . . You do a good job, taking care of him.
no subject
[ ... yes she is desperate for validation on this subject why do you ask ]
no subject
You do. You're trying to protect him, but also teach him the things he needs to know.
no subject
That's the hard part. There's a lot of stuff he shouldn't have to know. [ but he does need to. ]
no subject
[. . .]
It's nothing like that, but. I've wanted to be able to protect my brother from that. From what I can turn into.
But I haven't been able to do a good job.
