Valentine's Day and Apps at luceti

[wildkotetsu]

 V-valentine's day...

[Pardon Kotetsu, he's sort of in a blank state of awe. It's been a weird day. Getting feelings for your partner does that to a guy.]

Aa, well. At least it'll only be for a day.

...

It'll last for a week...? Haaa... This is gonna be kinda' awkward, isn't it? You'll give me a break after all this, right? Go bug the preacher guy for a few days, or somethin'!

mun is mean

[kingofhero]

You sound surprised Mr. Wild, really surprised! Miss Blue Rose told me that she was there too. What can you tell me about it?

[wildkotetsu]

Well, it--

It's kinda like--

...

[This is going to be troubling.]

Sky High, you're gonna be held against your will in some crazy town ran by people who might as well be villains outta' Hero TV. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're all worse than villains from Hero TV. And if you act outta' line, they mind control you for a little bit to punish you!

You understand??

[kingofhero]

[He'll nod confidently while listening to Kotetsu, despite any misgivings. And then he'll reply with all of his earnest conviction.]

They really sound like awful villains, and with villains that are so terrible, they must really need heroes.

Challenge accepted!

[He's a bit worried about the mind-control though. It sounds a bit too much like Mr. Maverick.]

You're very kind to be concerned, really kind, but Miss mun told me not to worry and that John will be there, and I have to go where John goes!

She also told me that a drone wife is one step up from a robot. I'm not sure why she would say that to met, but she won't explain.

I'm not even married!

[Oh hahaha. He's going to chuckle to himself over that.]

[wildkotetsu]

.... [Ugh...]

Well... You're at least determined. Just. Watch out, okay? I'd rather be in most places other than Mayfield; it's one of the shadiest ones, you get me?

[At least on the Thor he wouldn't be manipulated, or in Asguard he'd be okay. Luceti as it is, other than the experimenting and the shifts? He can work with it. The whole 'droned people everywhere' thing wouldn't sit right with him...]

Uh... You also won't have your powers, at first. They take 'em all away.

[kingofhero]

[Frowning . . . and then replying a bit more quietly.]

I don't understand how they could do that. Is that really possible, taking away someone's powers?

[He looks like he's thinking pretty hard over this one.]

[wildkotetsu]

I know, it sounds pretty crazy... but yeah. They don't want you using them if you're gonna be a threat, so they take them right away. You can get them back over time... but if you try anything, I'm betting they'll take 'em again.

The guy who's been there says there was rumor it's a machine or something when he left, but he was gone before he could confirm anything.

[Hughes is a good soul, like that.]

[kingofhero]

[. . . really worried, but he can be a bit over-dramatic sometimes.]

If I can get them back, then I can really. . . [Keith will trail off, still thinking of what to do, distracted, but after he looks back at Kotetsu, more confident.]

I don't need powers to be helpful, Mr. Wild. There are so many ways to help, so many ways.

[He looks a bit more hopeful.]

[wildkotetsu]

...

Maa, I guess you're right. [If he's going, the best he can do is warn 'im, but inevitably, he's gonna go. So...] Then as a Hero, you gotta do your best, right? Try to help out as well as you can!

[kingofhero]

[He'll get visibly happier at that encouragement, almost excited.]

I knew a hero like Wild Tiger would understand what I meant!

It's too kind of you to help me with that information. You've been the most helpful yet!

[wildkotetsu]

Aha... no problem.

Just take care of yourself, alright?

[He means it, Keith. You're annoying sometimes, and you're kind of dense even by Kotetsu standards, but you're a good guy. You shouldn't have to deal with a crazy place like that.]

[kingofhero]

[Keith looks very touched, giving a kind smile in return.]

Thank-you, again, thank-you. I wish you the best in your place as well.
