[Shigaraki looks pretty pleased with himself, his dry lips and proud scar on the left of them making no shy concern where smirking is considered.]

Sometimes I wish popcorn was more readily available here. I've seen a lot of people talk. A lot of people talk virtuously and when it comes down to it? I've seen a lot of people turn against one another, turn against their morals and their preachy speeches when they can't fight the deep dark they denied anymore. I don't even know if I think it's funny. I just think sometimes people think they're so much better.

[There's a shrug of both his shoulders, exaggerated along with a very pronounced and exaggerated pout that brings up his brow well into the mess of white hair that he's clearly leaned up against a building with.]

Look really, really deep into yourselves once you all... Get a hold of yourself again. Ask yourself what you're capable of and then think back to here.

[His head tilts and he sighs, relaxing and slouching back on the building looking still pleased by the whole thing.]

But let's play devil's advocate. What if I saw someone attacking someone else? Help them?

[Crimson red eyes look upward and he mulls very obviously over the question as he tilts his head back and forth in the consideration of what he's thinking.]

That sounds like fun. In fact, if you're in trouble. Message me. I'll come take care of it personally. I just don't want to hear bitching about whatever method I choose, that's all the payment I need. Don't feel safe walking out on your own? Ask, maybe I won't be too busy to escort you. This seems like a fun experiment.

Alright, but if you find yourself in trouble don't be afraid to call for help too. There are a lot of us who can do a lot more than people realize.

[Even without becoming Sailor Jupiter, Makoto had learned a lot more about fighting since arriving, and she still had her martial arts background.]

But I don't think you should be so callous about what's happening. The darkness that's overtaking many people is not what's really in their hearts. At least not normally, and something is amplifying and making it worse to where they can't help it.

[Something Makoto had been on the receiving end of several times before.]

We just need to remember the good and the light that we all have inside as well. And that desire to keep people safe like you're offering. More places for those being affected to go and get help before it's too late.

[That's an interesting way to put something and Shigaraki's eyes are curious on the video in front of him.]

I won't need help. I take care of myself.

[Being who he is, being quiet and listening lately has been a boon as well. His monologues only give him his own opinion and this one has his missing eyebrows somewhere up into his hair again. One of his hands push himself into a more seated, but still slouched position.]

That seems whimsical, it seems idealistic, and it seems like it'd get a mixed review by a neckbeard curator. I like that you think I'd go help someone because the heart of the cards told me to. It's simple. If someone is rampaging, put them down. Hell, if I'm rampaging, put me down. You wouldn't do that for me, rosestorm?

[First impression: wow, what an edgelord.

Second impression after reading his comment to rosestorm: wow, an edgelord and a nerd. It's like looking at a window into the past, almost.]

Seems to me like you're just looking for permission to cut loose, chuuni-kun. Are you ready for the people you deal with 'your way' to come after you next?

Oh no, a childish nickname from a person with hobo in their name. I can't believe you'd do that and hurt my frail feelings.

Let them. Who said any of this was supposed to be easy? I'm not afraid. I'm not picking fights, I'm ending them by request. If they don't like that, don't pick the fights. Isn't that what everyone equally bitches about from their high horses? Less fighting, more handholding and I love holding hands.

Riiight, and then they and their friends come after you to "finish" the fight on their terms, so you have to kill them again, and then they came after you again...where does it end? Come on, you're going to sit there making Yugioh jokes and pretend like you've never heard of the cycle of vengeance? Go rewatch the Battle City arc, and this time try not to get distracted by all the death traps.

I'm waiting for the portion of this where I won't have to say "So what?". If it means I have to kill someone, I will. If it means I have to break their arms off, I will. If it means anything else, I will. That's why it's my discretion. Make all the assumptions you want, but if we're sticking to it, I'm face up vertical. I can and will do what it takes. Not my problem if people get pissed off for it.

I've heard a lot of people say that and then almost get themselves killed.

[She's also used that exact line herself far too many times to actually believe it when someone said it. But still, all it meant was that Makoto had another person she could watch out for if she went out on patrol that was at least willing to help in a fight.]

If they're going to hurt others they need to be stopped yes, but it's not always their fault and sometimes they can be saved. So you can't immediately go in thinking they need to be taken out, it should only be if there's no hope of saving them that it's an option. If you went on a rampage, I'd stop you but I wouldn't hurt you unless there was no other choice.

"Have to," right. Because you're offering to involve yourself in other people's conflicts out of the goodness of your heart. It's not your fault if you end up having to use whatever distasteful methods you alluded to your original post (and by the way I caught your wording, there. You know that whatever you plan to do is going to disgust and/or frighten people, and you want to do it anyway) it's the fault of whoever's going around starting shit, right?

The problem, bro, is that we live in a society. In any closed system, if you respond to violence with violence, you cause an overall increase in the amount of existing violence. And increased violence makes people even more likely to respond to their problems with violence, which causes another increase in violence, and so on. We end up right back in the "endless cycle" situation.

But maybe that's a desirable outcome, in your eyes. Maybe you want a situation where people are spending all their time fighting and killing each other, instead of actually living? I can't begin to understand why you'd want such a thing, but again I think everyone included you would be better off if you got off the internet for a while and watched some anime. Maybe some My Neighbor Totoro? You sound like a guy in desperate need of a shot of Ghibli to the soul.

You. You get it.

Remind me who or what Ghibli is, though? I feel like I should know that reference.

Yikes... Mad 'cause bad I guess. Let me go re-watch, I forgot where part is that I said it was goodness of anything. Do you get mad when your cabbie takes a side road, too? Maybe what I want is exactly what I said, who am I forcing? No one. If someone can't fight, I can. Nothing wrong with that. Don't like it? Don't call.

I'm not a lot of people.

[Though, he's not sure that's actually concern and he stands up, deciding he's going to get a change of scenery while he listens and talks.]

It's their fault if they're spawn camping any of us. Beast or no. Help or no. You have my permission to kill me if you could. That's the problem. I'd kill you without thinking twice, wouldn't I?

It's an animation studio in Japan. Specialized in feature-length movies for families with children, heavy focus on sophisticated animation with stories featuring positive moral values like kindness and respect for the environment.

[switching to private message]

Are you from Earth too? Always nice to meet another one. ^^

And so you continue with this pretence that you're just trying to be helpful. So okay, let's go with that for a moment. If all you want is to protect people and keep them safe, you're doing it wrong. Why not demonstrate your abilities openly in another video, and use that as a deterent to keep people from attacking you and the ones you're protecting? Holding that information back like you did in the OP just makes it seem like you want people to attack you so you have an excuse to hurt them back, and I already explained why that's not going to work out for you or for Trench.

Spirited Away! I can't believe I forgot.

So strictly speaking, the answer is no, I'm not from Earth. I'm from Lothal, in a whole other galaxy/universe/something like that. But, due to a powerful reality altering spell I was caught up in the *other* weird multiversal nexus I spent most of last year - sort of yes?

I have memories of a whole life on Earth, they just usually aren't as crisp, unless something pulls them to the surface.

Right now, very clear memories of elementary school era me thinking Ghibli films were the best thing ever. Which makes sense. Those are values all parts of my family have tried to pass on to me.

Edited (a missing word) 2022-07-23 02:33 (UTC)

Because I'm not trying to keep people safe. If they can't fight, like I said, I can and will. I don't need to prove myself to you or anybody else what I can or can't do. If someone attacks, they'll learn quick enough. I'm not protecting anyone because no one's asked and anyone I know isn't incapable of actually fighting.

I don't care what they do. Game Over isn't an option. If they're dumb enough to attack me or whoever asks for help? On them. Don't attack someone, real tough things to consider for that righteous brain of yours huh?

I hear that a lot too.

[It was strange how many more people underestimated her, compared to back home where rumors had all of her classmates avoiding her. It was really hard at times to tell which ticked her off more, but either one, the attitude that this person was putting out was rubbing Makoto the wrong way.]

Is that your way of saying you'd rather die than hurt someone else? If so I can agree with you, and I promise that if you start to lose it, I'll stop you one way or another.

You haven't heard it from me. For all you know, I could be a supervillain taking down entire swathes of land mass with one hand.

[Rubbed the wrong way is the exact way Shigaraki interacts with anyone, she's at least getting the full experience.]

It's my way of saying I don't want to be one of those things. Kill me. I never want to not be in control.

[He's pretty blunt as he walks on, sparing looks back on over.]

Don't be surprised when you lose, but that's what I'm saying.

Wow, really? I'd say that's crazy, but given my own situation...

I was born on Earth, but I spent the last three years in another universe after some kind of pan-dimensional entity decided to play silly games with my soul. And then I wound up here, so sort of the opposite of your story? Still, it's nice to meet someone else who at least knows about Earth and isn't being some kind of edgelord at the same time. Elementary school you even had good taste! ^_^

Do you remember what country/year you were from? I'm Chinese, and I...well, I guess you could say I 'died' in that world in the year 2014.

I've met plenty of bad guys that thought they were the strongest.

[She was pretty sure one of them had tried dropping an entire house on her when she was getting Usagi back from Savage. Then there was Maul, usually, they were strong and could back it up a bit, but the villains it seemed didn't have the same bite as before when it came to everyone needing each other to survive.]

I haven't met anyone I couldn't put flat on their back here yet. So if it comes to it, you'll regret that you didn't ask a little nicer. Who are you anyways?

[Well, who is he to say she hadn't, but it does raise one of his brows up in interest when she keeps talking this big. A small smirk crawls onto his lips on the side with the scar and he looks amused. Not belittling it, just amused.]

And were they?

[The answer's clear but he's asking for the sake of conversation. Over his shoulder is the sky past his longer white hair while his red eyes wait almost attentively for the answer.]

You almost make me want it to come to that. If you beat me, you deserved it.

[As for all the other part of that question... Alright. His name has no meaning here like it does back home which was the point of his edgy show. He's trying to find something he can still do that'll scratch the itch before he takes down a city block in a tantrum.]

Shigaraki. You?

I put them on their back, so you tell me.

[So far her only death had been at the hands of a loved one, all the other challenges, all the other threats that Deerington and that Trench had thrown at her, Makoto had managed to survive. Though occasionally only due to the help of a friend.

The rosebud earrings and necklace might give a different appearance but Makoto wasn't one to back away from a fight at all. She was still at her shop, the sign for Flour and Bloom easy enough to make out in the background.]

Kino Makoto.

And so we circle back around to the conclusion that you're just a violent edgelord looking for excuses to fight. Is there really no other way you can satisfy yourself? What about fighting monsters in the woods? Why does it have to be people?

lmao you're so mad. I needed this laugh. I can't believe how pissed off you sound over someone offering shit to people who aren't going to be you.

What about fighting whatever comes my way? It doesn't have to be people. If you want to piss your pants at beasts that come in the city or near your little hovel, I'll fight those too. Does that take the knot out of your delicate panties?

x to doubt, but if you think you can beat me, I'd welcome the challenge if I ever turn. I knew a woman back home who could magnetize things around her. People included. Her name was Magne.

[He tries to think of how to put it. Not because he doesn't think this is all possible, he doesn't know her either and maybe she's the villain of her story. The store is noted, things like that are always something to keep mind, even if it's the back of it. While he walks, he continues to talk. His own area of walking is just decrepit and unused boring backdrop.]

How would you fight the possibility your entire body gets locked down, unable to move? Real question, Kino.

[Because he hadn't given his first name either, so there's no reason to get first namey on each other.]

[Well, this is a weird post. She's trying to read through the lines, see what he means, what he's actually offering, but he seems... relatively sincere?]

What do you mean by whatever method you choose? Why would people complain about your methods if they ask for your help?

[Sounds fishy!]
