Sooo... um, Iris hasn't been online. In forever. And I'm starting to get nervous about this. I mean, I get that she no longer feels the need to obsess over finding Void, for which I'm grateful, and that she no longer wants to obsess over Sonic Boom, which is also a plus, but... I dunno, it was like the Internet was her happy place. And now she's abandoned it. She's even gone so far as to look for a job. Like, an actual, go-to-work-and-get-a-salary kind of job. And I'm starting to worry.
I get that she was upset about what happened with the supers, but I didn't think it would get this bad.
Help?

Halloween
Ha, THAT was interesting. Halloween for a super who can't talk without spewing gems. I felt bad about it, but there was no way I was going to open that door to trick or treaters (luckily for me, Iris actually WENT trick-or-treating, so she had no say in the matter). I just turned off all the lights and pretended no one was home.
Of course, I didn't stop to think about punk teens that would try to sneak into dark houses. It nearly gave me a heart attack when I heard someone climbing through the window. I thought the Queen had found where I live.
So you can't judge me for what I did next.
I didn't have any real weapons on hand, so I took a leaf out of Iris' book and just grabbed the nearest thing I could find. Which happened to be a rather large pillow. Feeling oh-so-confident with my new weapon, I hid behind a corner, and when the intruders came by, I jumped out and started hitting them.
"Oh, HEY! What are you..."
"STOP THAT!"
An order I promptly obeyed once I realized it was coming from a pair adolescent voices. The Queen can change her appearance, but not that of others.
"What do you think you're doing?" I growled. I wasn't too worried about them seeing the gems. It was still dark, and I wasn't turning on lights. That would only reveal the gems scattered all over the floor.
There was silence, until a boy's voice said, "We thought no one was home."
"And you always break in to empty homes?"
"I told him it was a bad idea!" a girl's voice cried.
"Well, I'll tell you what's a good idea." I was really ticked. "Get out. And don't come back."
"We're sorry," the girl said softly.
"Out."
I made them go out the front door, and I watched them until they went down another street. Then I went and found a baseball bat until Iris came home.
I hate Halloween.
