Oh, that's to protect my civilian identity. There's paparazzi everywhere, and I don't want any of them getting a picture of like, me leaving the dorms out of costume or anything.
No, they're people! But they like...they take photos of famous people and sell it to the newspaper. You saw the picture of me and Mouse in the paper this week, right? A paparazzi probably got it when we were at the arcade. It's why we wear our hero costumes when we go out anywhere.
I don't blame you for being cautious, but what are you worried about exactly?
[ he really doesn't, but there's this feeling where he feels like the other shoe is going to drop because that's just the kind of environment he's lived in up until now. ]
I just...I don't know, I just worry. I don't want the villains finding out who I am, for one. And it just feels like I should keep my real identity hidden away.
I won't pressure you, but part of being in a team is trust. I'm sure you know that already, but I've seen what it can do and how it can fall apart even with everyone being upfront from the get go.
For fiends, killing the leader makes all the other fiends useless. It probably won't be that easy with people, but taking out the head of anything causes chaos either way.

[ this explains things because when's the last time he was at a party??? maybe never, actually. ]
And yeah, it's one of the tasks you gave us right? I'm gonna do all of them cause I'm the strongest man in the world.

Truthfully everyone has that task, so you could play with a group in public or like, with the Oxes.

Really? What about the other ones? Are they for everyone too?

Later. I want to know what your smile really looks like. [ that incredibly cheese line aside- ]
Anyway, you mentioned villains—so what do we need to be looking out for exactly?
no subject
[They sound more amused than annoyed.]
You're just going to be looking for people doing bad stuff. Robbing banks, beating people up, stealing purses from old women, that kind of thing.
no subject
[ as if that's a talent... ]
What about fiends-monsters?
