[ Bruce has made appointments via text before, so Hopeless will have his number - though he's never made contact about anything but said appointments. Until now, out of nowhere. ]
I've been working on a project for the city that'll be for the public, mostly the contracted citizens. An indestructible venue where people from violent contexts can indulge in that outlet without endangering anyone else.
[ Taking local government funding and making a battle arena to satisfy the worse urges of the imported population is a far cry from Hopeless's professional suggestion of 'maybe go work at a soup kitchen or take up knitting', but, uh. Progress?? ]
[... Well, one could say 'it's a start', leaving aside the obvious risk of perpetuating certain mindsets instead of dissolving them. The fact that Bruce contacts Hopeless to ask about his interest is definitely a good thing, though.
[There is one thing Hopeless wants to be clear about before he says yay or nay, however.]
Are you asking for my professional opinion on its processes or offering me the opportunity as a matter of curiosity?
[ That's what therapists are for. Bruce's concern is an explosion from the pressure not ever being released; he knows vigilantes, and there are too many of them in Eudio. ]
Mostly the latter. Unless you happen to be keen on combat magic, in which case you're free to take a crack at it. I've been stress testing for a few weeks.
[ It'll definitely come up in their sessions; maybe taking a look at the project without the filter of Bruce's in-mind perspective will be beneficial.
Hell, he has no idea. He's trying to be communicative. ]
'Keen' isn't exactly the word I'd use re combat magic, but I'm interested in the project.
[Despite the abovementioned concern, it's usually better to wean people out of habits and mindsets. The other way doesn't often work. Bruce's project could very well fill a void in that process. Which means, of course, that even though this is an offer for 'curiosity', he probably would offer some advice if it came up.]

I thought maybe you'd want to take a look at it.
