What am I even doing?

[akibasaneger]

So... You started watching yesterday and you're already making an account for one of us. And the main reason you chose me instead of Nobuo is because you lack the encyclopaedic Sentai nerdage he has. Wow, this is encouraging, isn't it? You probably aren't even going to app me anywhere anyway. And you still haven't given the last journal you made for that pirate guy any icons beside a default, which means I'm probably not going to get any either.

Also, I appreciate the acknowledgement that I'm the only sane member on the team, but did the user name have to be such a terrible pun?

You can't just kick the bucket just because you mundane chose you on a whim! That's just rude, you know!

[ And Rise's being overprotective for a ... really petty reason, honestly. ]

[akibasaneger]

Kick the bucket? Just because my mun is an idiot, doesn't mean I'm planning to die over it.

[risetting]

Well, not being used is the same as dying for muses, isn't it?

[ Her mun's logic, not Rise's. ]

Besides, all of the mundanes tend to do things on a whim! And I know this from experience.

[akibasaneger]

I guess if you look at it like that... But it's not like there's not going to be new episodes if he doesn't play me anyway, so I'll still be having my grand delusions each week.

[akibayellow]

Mitsuki! Hi hi!

[akibasaneger]

Ah, Yumeria! You're here too then?

[akibayellow]

I am nyao! It's good to see you.




[leafing through a huge pile of yaoi in my arms]

[akibasaneger]

... I see that you've been enjoying yourself then?

[akibayellow]

I need something to read!

What've you been doing?

[akibasaneger]

So far, not much. My mun has been at work most of the day since making this post and he only started watching the show yesterday, so...

[akibayellow]

Ooh, has he seen all our episodes yet?

[akibasaneger]

Yeah, a friend got him to watch episode five first because of Rica Matsumoto playing your mother. He actually owns Pokémon merchandise signed by her. ... And he also challenged her to a Pokémon Battle while dressed up in cosplay. You'd probably get along with him.

Anyway, after that he pretty much marathoned everything together.

[akibayellow]

He has good taste. I love my mother. Loved.

That's great!

My mun would like to point you here if you're interested, too.

[akibasaneger]

But yeah, if Nobuo's Sentai knowledge is what qualifies him to be the Red of the Akibarangers, my mun would probably be qualified to be the Red of the Pokémon Rangers. ... To which he is now protesting that Pokémon Rangers are actually a thing and share no semblance whatsoever to Super Sentai.

And he might consider those... He does generally have a thing about preferring to make his own icons though. Despite being too lazy to ever actually get around to making them.

[akibayellow]

[nods sagely]

Yes, yes, yes, they're quite different! Though I've cosplayed as Pokemon before. It's fun.

Mine makes her own sometimes, but mostly she's very lazy, too. Doesn't even make her own costumes!

[akibasaneger]

Well, mine apparently did his own Red cosplay. ... By which he apparently means Red from Pokémon, and this is in no way convincing me that there's any real difference between Pokémon Rangers and Sentai, mun.

Anyway, what have you and your mun been up to Yumeria?

[akibayellow]

Oh, come nyaon, Mitsuki! There's lots of differences! Maybe you should come over and I'll take you through my entire set of Bioman, Liveman, and Gekiranger so you can see just how different Reds can be!

She lets me out to play here sometimes. It's fun! She's not bad on her sentai knowledge, but she wanted me instead of Nobuo because... because... actually I'm not sure why.

[akibasaneger]

I think I can take your word for it.

But yeah, I think the extent of my mun's Sentai knowledge is basically bits of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers that he hasn't watched again since he was four.

... Also, isn't this whole "role play" thing kind of similar to our Grand Delusions?

[akibayellow]

But it's fun?

Ooh! My mun loved that too.

...

[jaw drops, delightedly overwhelmed]

[akibasaneger]

Of course it's somewhat different in that we're still us in our delusions and these muns are, well... also us in theirs.

[iheartdekared]

Mitsuuuuuuuuuuki, I can totally teach you about all 36 of the Super Sentai! Right now! All at the same time!!!

Nobuuuuooooo

[akibasaneger]

All of them? At the same time? With three to five per team? Not likely.

Re: Nobuuuuooooo

[iheartdekared]

... So says someone who needs an infusion of ~sentai spirit~. C'mon, let's practice the Goggle Five poses!

[akibasaneger]

Do we have to? I mean, the whole role call thing is bad enough when we've gone into our delusions, do we really have to do it in real life too?

[iheartdekared]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees, how else are we supposed to get any real practice?!

[akibasaneger]

Okay... I hate to even have to bring this example up, but you know Dragon Ball, right? Have you seen how the other characters react to the Ginyu Tokusentai's "Special Fighting Pose"?

... Honestly, that's how most people react to real life posing like that.

[iheartdekared]

Pffffft, almost everyone in Dragonball is an ALIEN. Aliens! And five minutes can go one forever and ever! You can't expect them to be realistic--

Wait, hold on, you like Dragonball! Lol, you really are like me!

[akibasaneger]

H-Hey, you can't go lumping me in with you for just knowing about Dragon Ball! I mean, knowing a few characters from Shonen Jump is a long way from being at your level.

[iheartdekared]

That's how it starts...

And soon we can talk compare Zyuranger and Gingaman's plot and character similarities together! *_*

[akibasaneger]

I've told you before, I'm only in this thing to hone my martial arts skills. Having a method to visualise and simulate realistic battle situations is useful.
