[OPEN] the problem with blind optimism

For the most part, Raynor prided himself on his ability to get used to things by now. After all the surprises he'd seen in his life, he felt like nothing could really take him by surprise anymore, not in any significant way. Sure, he didn't deal with things well, given the cigarette pack on his sleeve, and the slowly rising need for some alcohol. But he did deal with things, however her had to, just to move on.

This though, this was straight out of a comic book. And it was so completely out of left field, that he just... wasn't done processing it yet. Super heroes, super villains, it just seemed too silly to be real. The only thing he could really latch onto was the threat of the end of the universe, something he definitely had loads of experience with, thanks to the Zerg.

All the same, when they offered him a position in the Legion, he politely declined. He'd think about it and get back to them, he told them. Partially because he wasn't done processing all this, but mostly because he wasn't in any hurry to jump into another organization claiming to do good. The Sons of Korhal gave him that same pitch, wanting to overthrow the ineffective government letting people die, so they can help everyone. And now, look at him. On the run from the government he helped install, worse than the last one.

No, if they wanted his help? They'd have to prove their moral standing.

At the moment, he was just wandering around. Trying to keep his mind off of all the information he was dumped with, and simply getting acquainted with this so-called Legion World. He'd already been to the training room, and had himself a nice conversation with a scary redhead. But otherwise, he could be found lingering in a few places, ranging from engineering, to the mess hall, to the observation deck. He wasn't actively doing anything though, just... watching everything and everyone. Being a silent observer.

It gave him time to think. But it also left him wide open to be approached.
