Dear Mun,

Hey, it's sweet and all that you're so wrapped up in.... well... everything about me. It might also be a little creepy, come to think of it. Now you want to find some sort of game to put me in, but I have projects I need to finish and a kid brother I need to keep an eye on, just to remind you. I can't run off and abandon my responsibilities.

Besides -- you've been out of the RP circuit a while, haven't you? Still, if this is something you need, I'm not going to be the guy to stop you. Make sure your research is solid and keep trying until you get that breakthrough. If a game is what you want, you'll get it.

I don't know what else to tell you. You need to get some sleep, though. That brain of yours isn't going to function if you don't refuel it with some downtime.

Satisfied now?

Hang in there,
Tadashi

Heh. That's just how muns are. Give them an inch and they run until they fall over.

But it sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders about yours, at least.

[tadashiwashere]

Well, I'm sure she means well. Half the people in my life are a constant test of patience, so one over-excited mun isn't too much to handle. We'll see how fast I eat my words if she actually finds a game, though. I'm not sure how much free time I'm willing to sacrifice for that. I mean... I do have finals. They don't just pass themselves if you wave a magic scantron at them, after all.

TADASHI!

[Honey Lemon is just really excited to see him. She seems to come out of nowhere for a big hug.]

You're here, too!

[tadashiwashere]

Whoa there! Honey Lemon!

[He's pleasantly surprised to see her, returning the hug before grinning and reaching up to adjust his cap.]

I didn't expect to see you out here. I guess I don't know who to expect, though. I'm new to this entire.... mun thing.

[urbanhero]

Take it from an oldster, kiddo. You're gonna want to pass those finals. I'm still kicking myself for failing History in high school. [She laughs weakly at her own dumb joke.] Sounds like you've got your hands full right out of the gate.

[knowsrobotics]

I think you mean genius brother.

And geniuses don't really need their brothers keeping an eye out for them.

[tadashiwashere]

I'm not sure I could take the grief my kid brother would dish out if I failed. If I have to, I'll power through some late night's with Red Bull. History, though.. glad that's not on my plate.

What is it you do, if you don't mind me asking?

[tadashiwashere]

Genius, huh? I don't know, Hiro...

I seem to remember that somebody can't be bothered to read labels half the time. Did that big brain of yours cure that peanut allergy yet?

[urbanhero]

Me? Oh, well, you know. Firefighting. Public service. Duking it out with supervillains. The usual.

[Not even remotely kidding about that last one.]

[knowsrobotics]

Hey, I was just a kid! And somebody really needed to label those things better.

Besides, it was just a little peanut allergy. I turned out okay.

[tadashiwashere]

You know, I was with you right up until the supervillain bit.

[He's mildly amused about it, at any rate,]

[tadashiwashere]

You say just a kid like you're not anymore. I dunno. I'm not seeing much of an improvement in height from last year.

Just saying.

[nerdschoolgirl]

[Honey Lemon can be pretty affectionate with her closest friends. That definitely includes Tadashi.]

It's so much fun! Everyone is around here somewhere. I've seen lots of you and Hiro's especially, but Wasabi, Gogo, and Fred are here, too! I've seen even your aunt around, and Professor Callaghan!

[tadashiwashere]

Professor Callaghan is here? Man, I'd hate for him to catch me slacking off this close to crunch time.

[He tries to hide a smile the moment Wasabi is mentioned. He's already picturing the big guy's reaction to having someone else messing with his carefully ordered life.]

It's bad that I want to see Wasabi deal with muns, isn't it?

[ainosuke]

I admire the relationship you and your younger brother have. I thought my big brother was the greatest once, but I had no idea how wrong I was.

I'd tell you not to worry about the mun and what they might do with you, but I know better.

[tadashiwashere]

Well, family has always been really important to me and Hiro. He and Aunt Cass are all I have, so we all try to look out for each other. Sorry to hear about your brother... If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you can't ever take someone for granted. Do you think the thing with your brother is something you guys can talk out?

Haha, man... some of the things I hear about muns make me think I should start getting concerned.

[ainosuke]

Muns can be weird. Watch out when they start pairing you up with others.

My brother was all I had, too. He's 12 years older than I am, and was taking care of me after our parents died. He even donated his left cornea to me, and I thought it was because he wanted me to be able to continue as an artist, but ... well, right after that, he was killed in an accident, and I started seeing strange visions in my left eye anytime I got hit. I thought the visions would lead me to bad guys who had something to do with his death. Instead I learned that HE was the bad guy, and had faked his own death so he could continue being a genius criminal planner.

Now we're in a battle where I use the visions to piece together his upcoming crimes before he can complete them. He's made it clear he's willing to kill me, but he's just toying with me so far.

I'm sorry, that was really too much information, wasn't it? But at least you can see why I envy your relationship with Hiro.
