The ID tracking's a problem too, but systems can be hacked.
[ She doesn't want Entrapta here right now. But she wishes she had someone like her. ]
It's way harder to not shed. Trust me.
And I already told you. I'm going to make life better for us.
You've noticed it too, right? The public's aware of us. And they like us. Some old lady actually came up to me on the street the other day and thanked me. This is our chance, Jason. The timing, the moment-- we're never gonna get another golden opportunity as good as this one to change the way things are done around here!
i know they can, and i know where to get something that can do it.
anyway, welcome to being a hero. probably these people haven't known anyone actually looking out for them. the piece of shit government here sucks. and it was lying to them
no wonder they're thanking us
just means we should beat up the bastards that made life miserable for them, whether it was because they were too fucking weak to do their god damned jobs or too corrupt to care
If we start beating up people in the streets, it's not going to make anyone feel safer.
We have to rebuild the system from the ground up. Get rid of all those corrupt, weak, shitty and inefficient idiots. Replace them with a system that can actually do it's job. Otherwise, what's going to happen when we leave?
There's a power vacuum right now. All these low lives are scrambling, madly trying to get to be the one at the top. They don't want to change anything. They just want to restore the status quo.
because it'll fall apart the minute we're gone. because they should be able to decide what they want, instead of some fucking bastardized system telling them what they need
there's a million fucking reasons. guess it depends on what you're planning on doing.
[ it's true, it won't make it any different. he knows that-- changing the system is hard. it's why batman exists in the first place. why Robin does, and all of the vigilante super heroes.
because the system won't change. no matter what. not without force. ]
beating them up was never about changing the system. i just wanted to.
[ he knows it will take big action to change the system, but... he hasn't quite reached that extreme end, yet. ]
[ And because this is Jason, and because this is possibly the only thing remotely close to a healthy friendship Catra has here and she doesn't want to fuck it up, not so soon after fucking it up with Jason the Elder-- ]
[ he sees that subject change. he just considers for a long time, how much he wants to play dumb. but if she's pissed at him, there's no way he can change her mind.
or figure out her plans, so... ]
what, did you think this was me trying to make a big move?
