first design; omeganet video and action.

[hinavelous]

a; omeganet video.

[There's a new superhero face that pops up onto the screen, all in light blues and whites with a simple mask on her face and dark, curled hair falling off screen. She looks a little uncertain, pulling some of her hair over her shoulder and finger-combing it for a moment before she speaks.]

This is a little embarrassing to ask, but-- I'm new to this whole Superhero business, does anyone have any pointers? I've not gotten in any real trouble yet, but I certainly don't want to cause more trouble when I'm supposed to be helping.

b; action! anywhere between the college of the arts and venture park.

[Out of her Super uniform, Hina is just dressed in a stylish light blue sundress with a white lace bolero and a tan sunhat, walking from class to the park with her sketchbook in her purse and her phone in her hand. She was texting her brother, more than likely, and possibly could have stood to be paying a bit more attention to where she was walking.]

Comments

[cardsflippedup]

[Hm. Now, Tomoki could just explain but he's wondering if he could get some info about Eiji from her if he played his cards right.]

[Tomoki you really need to learn how to turn the reporter off.]

Really? Well they do say you have a double out there somewhere. What's he like?

[hinavelous]

[She's starting to wonder if this isn't just Eiji playing a joke on her. She smiles a little shifting her weight and hefting her purse some.]

Mm, you could say he's the sort of person the world needs more of.

[cardsflippedup]

[Well that's a pretty hefty compliment. He keeps his expression mild but he lets the surprise show.]

That's quite a statement. You must be really fond of him.

[hinavelous]

[Either Eiji has learned how to take a compliment or this actually... is just someone that looks alarmingly like him. He'd have gotten all fussed about her saying that. She frowns slightly, but then nods.]

We worked together, in Japan. He, ah... Saved my brother's life.

[cardsflippedup]

[That was certainly interesting. He smiles and does look appropriately surprised.]

No kidding? He sounds like a pretty nice guy, then.

[hinavelous]

The circumstances were a bit unusual, but... my brother's condition was how we met, actually.

[She nods, though.] He tried to tell me at first that he wasn't a nice person. I don't think he made that point very well in the end.

[cardsflippedup]

He does sort of seem like the type to not take flattery very well.

[Tomoki you need to stop.]

[hinavelous]

[She tilts her head. He certainly doesn't have much to go on to have come to that conclusion. A moment later, she shakes her head and smiles.]

Not especially, no. I guess you could say he's very humble.

[candothismuch]

[Funny they should be talking about him since Eiji just so happened to be passing by. He's quick to spot Hina and his expression brightens.]

Hina!

[And he'll be walking on over to the both of them now.]

[cardsflippedup]

[Speak of the devil. Tomoki grins not unlike a Cheshire cat and slides his hands into his pockets.]

[hinavelous]

[She hears her name and starts, because she knows that voice, and she turns to look and makes the most dumbfounded expression for a moment.]

[And then she turns back to Tomoki, sees his grin, and flushes in embarrassment, reaching into her purse to roll a magazine up and thwap him with it.]

You tricked me! You--

[She turns to Eiji, hopelessly confused.]

Eiji, who is...??

[candothismuch]

[He comes to a stop when he's close enough to the two of them.]

Ah, you've met Tomoki already?

[cardsflippedup]

[He probably deserved that. He will flinch as she smacks him with the magazine.]

Hey, Eiji. I was just meeting your friend, actually! She had a lot of good things to say about you!

[hinavelous]

Yes, it appears I have already met Tomoki! [Huff. She puts her magazine away.]

... [A beat, and she frowns to Eiji.] Who is he, though?

[candothismuch]

[So they were talking about him? He's not... too surprised by this.]

Tomoki is--uh, well... he's my twin brother.

[At least that's the conclusion the both of them came to. It's still a bit of a hard thing for him to process too, Hina.]

[cardsflippedup]

[Tomoki nods.]

At least, that's the hypothesis. I haven't gotten my hands on anything to actually confirm it, but there's enough evidence that it's extremely likely.

[He shrugs.]

Sorry for messing with you earlier. I wanted to learn a little more about him. Eiji isn't much of a talker when it comes to himself.

[Pointed look at you, brother.]

[hinavelous]

[Twin.]

[Eiji has a twin.]

[She looks a little startled, then glances between the two of them, and waves her arms in front of her.]

W-w-wait, hold on just a-- twin brother?

[She turns to Eiji.]

Can I-- talk to you? For a moment?

[candothismuch]

[Sorry bro. Maybe when he gets more comfortable he'll be more talkative.]

Of course we can. [He turns back to Tomoki.]

Excuse us for a bit.

[cardsflippedup]

[It's understandable. Tomoki is kind of pushy. He doesn't hold it against him at least!]

[He blinks, though, glancing between them and then takes a step back.]

Sure.

[hinavelous]

[She loops her arms through one of Eiji's and tugs him to the side, staring at him with her eyebrows drawn together in a frown.]

What's this about a twin brother? I didn't know you had a twin! That's great!! --I think? Didn't you not get along very well with you family...?

[Hina slow down you are talking too fast.]

[candothismuch]

[He waits for Hina to finish speaking, both of politeness and so he could process what it was she was saying.]

To be honest, I didn't know I had a twin either.

[hinavelous]

[She makes very much of a :> face for a moment, bounces, and hugs onto his arm again.]

That's so wonderful!!

[A beat, and she pulls away.]

Does he...? [She makes a vague attempt at Eiji's henshin pose.]

[candothismuch]

[Oh yeah, that. He shakes his head.]

No, he doesn't know.

[hinavelous]

[She returns to a normal standing pose, frowning.]

Right, I guess superheroes are supposed to maintain their secret identities, huh.

[Which is exactly why you haven't told Eiji that you're one yourself, Hina. She purses her lips.]

...Well, how long have you known??

[candothismuch]

Hm? Ah... A few weeks now, I think. Tomoki actually came to me to ask me questions and that's how we found out.

[Though "found out" might not be the write choice of words since everything is still a little up in the air at the moment.]
