[ oh he's cute ]

It sure is a lot to get used to. Was there anything that was super surprising when you got here?

[unsync]

Obviously the whole heroes and villains thing. I mean, that's just cartoonish.

[ He doesn't like, dismissive or derogatory but he finds it just all so much. ]

That, and how I even got here to begin with. Or why, if it's stuff about being a hero... why me.

[becomemod]

It does seem like one of those comic books.

[ ... ]

Are you worried that you wouldn't make a good hero?

[unsync]

It does.

And... yeah, I guess so. Something like that.

[ It's exactly like that. ]

[becomemod]

Why do you think so?

[unsync]

I screwed up... something really bad, once. I hurt a lot of people.

That's not what a hero does.

[becomemod]

[ Holding out their hand. Want to hold hands again? ]

Well, what do you want? Do you want to be a hero?

[unsync]

[ ...

He looks really hesitant, but carefully takes the hand. ]

Of course I do. It was my brother's dream. But all I did was screw it up, I'm no hero.

[becomemod]

[ Holding his hand and giving it a squeeze. ]

Then you can do it. From what I've seen of heroes, it isn't always saving the day, but picking yourself up and continuing the fight regardless. If you want to keep fighting, then you can do it.

[unsync]

[ He appreciates it, holding lightly but somehow also firmly. ]

But what if that makes it worse?

[becomemod]

Then I'll be there to help fix it.

[unsync]

[ He's still uncertain, but who is he to deny the mouse... his temporary leader-boss while he's stuck in this place. ]

Okay.

And, um, what about my job, while I'm here?

[becomemod]

[ Mouse is super strong and can carry him and all of his ptsd 💪 💪]

There is always a criminal that needs to be stopped, citizens that need help, and information to be found. You're really good at information, right? [ Something about studying and going to special school? ]

[unsync]

[ I don't know that they should, it's a lot. ]

I mostly do deskwork these days... dealing with the red tape and bureaucratic stuff, so... yeah, I guess so. I don't know how much that'll count here, though.

[becomemod]

[ They can borrow extra arms 💪💪💪💪 ]

I don't know either. All of that is a little beyond me. We'll just have to find out together.

[ We have the power of deskwork and dealings on our side ]

[unsync]

[ Help the arms keep doubling.

Ryuki doesn't look very convinced that he's going to do a good job, but no point in continuing to dump his depression on Mouse. ]

Is there anything else I can do?

[becomemod]

[ 💪💪💪💪💪💪]

What are you really good at?

[unsync]

[ 💪

Also, nothing... ]

I'm pretty good at martial arts. And parkour.

[ Granted a good handful of the people here could probably just. Leave him in the dust. Because he's a normie. ]

[becomemod]

That's really cool! You're like a ninja.

[unsync]

I wouldn't say that.

[ He says, scratching his cheek like ahaha, bashful bastard. ]

You're probably more of a ninja than I am.

[becomemod]

Nu-uh! I'm actually pretty slow in a fight. All I do is hit things really hard.

[unsync]

Nothing wrong with that either... I think.

Why is your hero name "Gold Mouse", anyway?

[becomemod]

My first choice was already taken and mice are really cute.

[unsync]

What was your first choice?

[becomemod]

Red! It reminds me of home.
