[ this id sometimes shows up when talking tech or acknowledging certain kinds of post on the omega-network. the name attached to it is 'Rider' and as far as anyone knows, he was from another country - Japan being the general consensus - and semi-retired from the life though not above to help out with technical problems or even get involved in a battle. he never displays any special powers, but his technical skills were almost magical. ]

odd that so many past names have been reappearing while others make demands of people
maybe it's the weather or just another cycle of the world moving from one end to the next
but i am curious
someone brought up the question what makes a hero
there were as many answers as there are caped heroes and each one particularly fits in with what they are known for
so i wish to ask another question along those lines, especially since we are seeing the contest set up by one 'slade' asking us to preform like so much monkeys
so
what do you fight for? what drives you to be a hero?

Cuz it's fun! Duh!

[You don't need any other reason, right? Right.]

It is fun to fight or it is fun to be a hero?

[steamboatkilly]

[Hold on...

Just...

Give her a second here.]

This ain't some kinda trick question, right?

[forgottendecade]

It isn't. There are times when a hero does not need to fight to be a hero.

[steamboatkilly]

Y'know if this is leadin' up to some kinda "fighters an' policemen're the real heroes" bunk, I'm gonna be real sore.

[forgottendecade]

Then would you brave a fire to save lives?

[steamboatkilly]

'Course I would! It's my job, ya dummy!

[Might be getting a little screechy here.]

[forgottendecade]

[it doesn't bother him as much as it would bother some. after all, he had been around the Dai-Troopers which are loud even when they weren't jumping around blowing themselves up.]

It is also their job as well.

[steamboatkilly]

Well it's a good thing I ain't a firefighter!

[wait what]

[forgottendecade]

Because you rather be fighting the ones that started the fire?

[steamboatkilly]

Pre-cisely. Now yer catchin' on!

[forgottendecade]

Heroing is the thrill of the fight, not the thrill of helping out... or it is that way in your mind, yes?

[steamboatkilly]

That's what I keep tryin' to drill inta yer skull, dingus! Do ya understand the words that're comin' outta my mouth?

[forgottendecade]

English is not my native tongue, so pardon that I have some confusion with the words.

[ save him from all these children and heroes. they never seem to think save for their own corner of the world. ]

Then the challenge of fighting should have called you to action instead of arguing with me about it.

[steamboatkilly]

Well sorry if I had to take time outta my busy schedule to talk shop with some dork who won't even show me his friggin' face!

[Come on, she wants a face to attach all that anger to.]

[forgottendecade]

If it was so busy, you wouldn't have started to talk in the first place.

So you can make fun of the glasses? No thank you.

[steamboatkilly]

No, that's a perfect reason t'show me. So I can make fun'a ya.

C'moooon. Just a lil' peek. I promise I won't laugh too hard.

[forgottendecade]

I can't. I'm currently fighting the slurg monster of blarrg in this MORPH and can't stop.
