OTC 59.2: Play the What If Game
Sep. 4th, 2009 02:13 am( I don’t like that game. The What If game. There are too many of them. I mean, where do you even start? )
I don’t like What Ifs.

Curiosity killed that cat—isn't that what they say?
( I was never curious, though. I mean—it didn't occur to me that I *should* be. Not about my *dad*. )

Hypothetically speaking...
Oct. 9th, 2008 04:20 amIf you found out your dad wasn't your dad, what would you do? Would you care? Would it change anything?
Would you want to find out who is? Should you?
And what if you don't want to?
Would you want to find out who is? Should you?
And what if you don't want to?
Meeting Roy

Cissie had been nervous about today, but once she arrived at Roy's, things were just--easy and really nice. Lian was so sweet, adorable and friendly, and she had greeted Cissie with a hug and a guided tour. The Robin Hood marathon was the most fun Cissie could remember having without Tim in a long while. The three of them ate more junk food than Cissie thought was possible, and sometime during the last movie, Lian passed out in a sugar coma across Roy's lap. Cissie was surprised and touched when Lian gave her a huge hug before letting Roy tuck her into bed. Once Lian was in bed, Cissie followed Roy out to his car for the drive back to Elias.
"Thanks for having me over," she said, buckling her seatbelt. "I had a lot of fun."

Two lists for justprompts.
Ten Defining Moments of My Life (In No Particular Order, Save #1):
1. The first time Tim said he loved me. Our first kiss was pretty defining, too.
2. The night in the woods, and the day I officially quit Young Justice.I think I cried myself to sleep for like a week.
3. The Olympics. I had given up on archery until the trials, and the Games had their share of misery and badness, but standing on that podium and receiving that medal? Kind of gave me a new direction.
4. When Harm put that arrow through my shoulder. If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have had an excuse to go looking for Bart and then there might not have been any Young Justice for me. Which would mean none of my best friends. And no Tim.
5. The first time I picked up a bow. I don’t really remember it, but trying to imagine my life without archery is like trying to imagine someone else’s life.
6. Arrowette’s first night out, and the night I met Bart and Max Mercury called Social Services on my mother. It feels weird to say that was a good thing, but—Mom and I get along better now than we ever did then. Though it really did suck when I was first taken away and put in Elias.
7. When my father died. I was five, but I remember that day perfectly, and I remember that the hospital waiting room had green plastic chairs. PeopleCassie are surprised when I say that I miss him, but I do. Even if I didn’t remember him—which I do—I would.
8. I was writing my autobiography and figured out that Mom lied, and that Daddy isn’t my biological father.I think Tim knows who that is, but I don’t want to know yet.
9. The Crisis. Losing Kon and… that year sucked. And then when things were finally feeling okay again, Bart died, too. Everybody else I love had better just stay safe, because I will kick some serious ass otherwise.Tim. I mean it.
10. Can I re-state #1?
( Ten Secrets I Wouldn’t Tell Anyone [Private, but it’s entirely possible that Tim could hack it ; )] )
OOC: Tim ismrsarcastic003, and he and Cissie are dating. #8 in the first list is in reference to a fic that hasn’t been posted yet.

Jul. 11th, 2008 09:47 pmOOC: Cissie's intro for on_thecouch:
~*~
My name is Cissie King-Jones and I’ve done this before. The whole therapy… thing. I don’t really get why I need a new one. Well, aside from the state of Pennsylvania deciding that I need this. Which I don’t. I am remarkably well adjusted for a ward of the state. Really.
Okay, fine. Since I played this game before, I know you have all my information in that folder of yours, but when I met Marcy and she asked me about myself and I got all belligerent and teenage-girl-ish, she started reciting my life story back at me and I’d really rather you not do that, so fine. You want me to tell you about myself? Here goes.
My dad died of food poisoning from shell fish when I was five. And I don’t care what anyone tells you, or what rumors might be flying around or what’s in that file, Bernell Jones was my dad. It’s possible he wasn’t my biological father, but that’s beside the point. The point is that he died and it sucked and worst of all, Mom didn’t have anyone to rein her in anymore.
Mom… Wow. Mom. The reason I’m here at all. When I was fourteen, DHS got involved and there was a trial and my mother lost custody. They took me away from the only family I’ve got and from my home and THANK GOD I was able to avoid going to a group home or a foster family. Did you know I’m the only year-round student here at Elias? ‘Course, being stuck in a dorm room at an all girls’ school hasn’t been quite as much fun as people think it is. I’m just saying that I’m glad I get out every once in a while, you know?
What else? Oh. I’m an archer. I, uh, have a gold medal from the last Summer Olympics, actually, so practice and competitions take a lot of my time and energy. I do the occasional endorsement and have an agent and it’s pretty cool in that, hey—I won’t have to worry about how I’ll get to college now.
I’m really sorry and I don’t mean to insult you or anything, but I really just don’t think I need this. I mean, if I need to talk to someone, I can talk to one of my friends. I mean… I have really good friends. Most of the time. Anita’s kind of busy, what with her parents being reborn as toddlers and her guardian dating my mother. And Greta’s really trying, you know. It’s—she didn’t have a very normal childhood either, so she’s making up for it? And then there’s my best friend, Cassie Sandsmark. That’s right, Wonder Girl. She’s… going through a really rough time right now. She and Tim really haven’t taken things well.
Okay. It’s been a hard few years. I mean… Young Justice broke up, and I wasn’t even a member anymore except tangentially, but ever since then, I’ve seen everyone less and less. Except for Bart, but… I mean… God. A lot’s happened. Cassie and Tim both lost family, and then Kon died, too. He was her boyfriend and Tim’s best friend, and—he was like a brother to me. And then Bart died too, barely a year later? It doesn’t seem fair.
I guess my grades have slipped a little lately. And I guess I’ve been less social than I could be, and maybe I’m spending too much time practicing but I still don’t think it was fair of my teachers to go to the principal and my social worker behind my back like this. I mean, hey—I’m not a pregnant teen and I don’t have an eating disorder and I’m not a kleptomaniac. I can name ten girls right now from my floor who fit those categories.
Anyway, I’m just saying that I did the therapy thing before and I had a great therapist and she did a great job with me before she was murdered. So I’ll come and I’ll talk to you because I have to, but don’t expect me to like it.

OOC: For the most part, this Cissie will reflect current comics canon, although her mun *hates* the Wonder Girl mini. ;) Any deviations will be noted!
