can't believe this username wasn't taken tbh

[spearcarrier]

Hello! I'm glad you decided to try playing me. My voice can be a little tricky, I agree, but don't get discouraged. Just think about how I'm different from your other characters, no matter how nice and... Canadian (is that what you called it?) I may seem. There are as many ways for a person to be kind as there are for them to be cruel, after all.

...Is there anything else for me to say here? Sorry, I'm not entirely sure how all of this works yet. But I think that's everything important.

T-this seems relevant to me, so I think I'll speak up. My mun also has a hard time with nice characters!

But the point isn't for us to be interesting, it's for us to be who we are. I think.

[spearcarrier]

I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope things will get easier for them soon. Do you think practicing with me would help?

Though... I think we can be interesting, too. We might not be as... flashy as some other characters, but we have our quirks -- things that make us who we are -- just like anyone else. And the longer we talk with others, the more those become apparent.

[giant_strides]

Yes! Diligent practice is the most surefire way to success. Natural talent is good too, but...!

I don't have an opinion formed on that. Flashy people? Of course in real life, interacting with a kind person is best, but if you think of it in terms of a story you want conflict.

[spearcarrier]

I suppose that's true. But we can still be needed to help resolve that conflict, or to form conflicts of our own.

[giant_strides]

It's easy to start a conflict, but cleaning it up is on our shoulders. Even if it sounds inglorious, figuring out practical solutions can be our strength. S-so, even if a good person is the norm, we should still be around. Don't you think?

[spearcarrier]

I don't see why we shouldn't be. And, if what you've said is true, then it's possible that we're even rarer out here, making our skills more unique than usual.

[giant_strides]

[Y...yeah. YEAHHH!!!! He's pumped up now.]

Let's make sure they don't take us for granted, miss!

[spearcarrier]

Yes, absolutely!

I'm Pyrrha. What's your name?

[giant_strides]

Are we exchanging names already?

My name's Eiichiro Maruo. But somehow the nickname "All-A" Ei-chan stuck. I get some B's now so please don't reference that.

[spearcarrier]

It didn't seem like a bad idea at the time...

I understand. I'll avoid the subject, Eiichiro.

[giant_strides]

[He gives a look of concentration, trying to memorizing the name on the spot.]

Okay! Pyrrha, then. I hope we can help to support each other in the future, even if it's just the words we spoke today. Since I don't know when I'll see you again, please endeavor to solve a lot of conflicts!

[spearcarrier]

The only thing I can ask is for you to do the same. As long as we try to help in whatever ways we can, we'll still be supporting one another.

[giant_strides]

[He hangs there for a baffled moment, starstruck by the sentiment.]

A-a-a-ah, you too! I mean, of course.

[spearcarrier]

I know what you meant, it's okay.

[scraggly]

... "Canadian"? What's a Canadian?

[ clearly THAT is the most pressing matter being addressed in this post ]

[launcher]

Does Canadian mean you sure can? [hold the smile hold it]



I really have no idea.

[spearcarrier]

I... am not entirely sure. My mun doesn't seem to want to explain it, if it means she can giggle about it instead.

[spearcarrier]

[snrk] You've been hanging out with Yang again, haven't you?

But I don't really think so, either. It sounds might be a country, only I've never heard of it before, so I'm not sure why she seems to think I might be from there...

[scraggly]

Well if it has to do with you being nice, then I guess you're pretty Canadian after all!

[spearcarrier]

Thank you, but I think there must be something more to it, because otherwise there would be a lot of Canadians. At least, I'd like to hope there would be.

[scraggly]

Yeah, good point. I mean I think a lot of the people at Beacon are nice, but I've never heard any of 'em being called Canadian.

Maybe... Canadians have magnetic personalities? And you know, you... your semblance... magnets... maybe.

[ maybe he should just leave the puns to yang ]

[spearcarrier]

Maybe they just haven't started calling the others that yet.... I've heard that slang can take a little while to catch on.

Hmm, that could be true. Or, perhaps they fight with the same kind of weapons that I do.

[gonna ignore the attempted pun fail and carry on.]

[scraggly]

[ this is why you're the best partner, pyrrha ]

You think? I mean I've never seen anyone with a spear-sword-gun... thingy... quite like yours.

[ then again he hasn't seen nearly as many weapons as pretty much everyone else in the school, so... ]

Maybe Canadians are just strong? That'd definitely fit you.

[spearcarrier]

Well, since it doesn't seem like a place from here, maybe weapons don't... transform over there, either, which would leave just the shield and the spear.

I guess so... but that might be falling under the same umbrella as being nice, in that most people who attend Beacon would fit, including you. [Pointed about that one.]

[scraggly]

[ He suspects that she might have added that "including you" bit just to make him feel good, but... well, it does make him feel good, so kudos - he even smiles a bit, at that. ]

Then maybe they all just have red hair and green eyes, I dunno - whatever it means, I'm sure you're the best Canadian there is.
