u say small talk is the mortal enemy here dw this hero here is only capable of BIG TALK!!!! in fact EVERYTHING ABOUT JULIO VEGAS IS BIG i mean 6'5", over 200 pounds and he is rly rly rly loudly into forces of fate and destiny hope yr prepared @november 8))

yeah basically this is julio um small introduction i guess??? he has re-christianed himself vegas and thus will only refer to himself as that or variations of “hero of justice” and “chosen one” - in third person only too. and since these two are freshman man there's so a chance they'd meet!! but also because i am going to plot with parker whether u like it or not dear nova 8)))

for real though, i think these two could maybe be friends? like, when julio makes friends there tends not to be a ~transition of small talk or politeness because he is pretty unreservedly shameless + loud and tbqh probably a lot more interested in parker's stance on wrestling with alligators 8( !

on the other hand, though, i don't know, julio can be a bit overwhelming? ESPECIALLY IF PARKER AIN'T A FAN OF THOSE LACKING COMMON SENSE as julio does sometimes risk a lot at the expense of being ““experimental””. tbqh, he'll likely take part in pretty much anything if 1) he hasn't done it before and 2) he can upload photos of it to his instagram account. and as long as it fits in with ~justice, ofc :9 but yeah, julio's lack of foresight might uh cause issues but um um

there's just a lot to dig here? you mention that parker is fundamentally a people pleaser and quite desperate to keep appreciated and, i think in some ways, julio could appeal to that part of his personality. this is as julio is really into heroes - knowing someone who is a big deal back in their home city for fendin' off an evil criminal? that would be beautiful to him and he's not exactly shy in heaping praise! and at the same time julio would have a lot of ~expectations ; )

but um overall friends? given it might be interesting to have parker have an acquaintance so overwhelming into heroes when he came from a background so devoid of them. seriously, while parker was hiding any time-stopping gifts when he was younger julio was getting sent to the nurse's office having involuntarily managed to secrete solid armour over most of his arm 8')

because for a social personality like parker - esp one who just tends to surround himself with more ppl when he's feeling down - i don't think you can go wrong plotting w/ julio who is MASSIVELY SOCIAL and also MASSIVE

i mean oops i rambled i mean i don't know if parker is rly up for like clubs and stuff (julio is in a lot?? but i guess parker is also a bit older than other freshman so he might not wanna join IDK) BUT YEAH BASCIALY….. FRIENDS??? BUT MAYBE NOT B/C JULIO IS SILLY??
