[Hello everyone meet Russel. He is that energetic blond high schooler that you all know and love, and he is coming to you today from his bedroom, which is very green, and also plastered with anime posters, band posters, and Locke City Leprechauns paraphernalia (ie Locke City's tragically underappreciated NFL team).]

[He is also wearing a rather ridiculous hat (and a colour reference), and he looks super pleased about it. However, right now it looks more like this, with Japanese written on it in black marker.]

Hey, you guys, check it out! I got back my heroing hat and it is awesome! It's got my hero name on it and everything!

Can anyone tell me what it says, though? It looks like Japanese but I can't read any. I bet it says something super cool!


[it is Japanese.]

[and it says "Penis Mask".]

Comments

[And after reading the other comments and receiving an Echo...]

Better that than getting arrested for public indecency, PENIS MASK!

[pianistofraielin]

[OH HEY GUESS WHO GOT AN ECHO OUT OF THAT]

YOU!!!

THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

[abhero]

[GUESS WHO DID TOO DOESN'T THAT MAKE THINGS EASIER. Emil is laughing so hard he can barely speak.]

P-poor Penis Mask! S-Somebody com - AHAHAH! comfort Penis Mask!

[It's a very good impression of the demon-tree's voices, too.]

[pianistofraielin]

[guess who's not laughing!]

AUGH!! STOP THAT!

[abhero]

[Nope, he's snickering and wiping tears off his eyes.]

Don't yell at me, Penis Mask. Just accepted that past me was the great hero and the main character while past you was my bumbling sidekick and plucky comic relief.

[pianistofraielin]

YOU WERE PURE EVIL!! [because he got that part of the memory too and he definitely agrees, past self]

[abhero]

Psh. And yet somehow you kept following me around.

[pianistofraielin]

[...why?]

[he freezes, staring at the screen. because...why???]

[why would he keep following this jerk around if he kept treating him this way? there's a piece of the puzzle missing and he doesn't have enough information to assume anything.]

I bet it was just because we had a common goal or something like that.

[it certainly couldn't have been any kind of emotional connection!]

[abhero]

Maybe you failed as an independant hero so you decided to trail after me and live off my scraps. You were so desperate you degraded yourself!

[pianistofraielin]

I'm pretty sure you're just an idiot because I definitely remember getting by just fine on my own!

[bending the truth a bit. he remembers being a wandering hero by himself but doesn't really have any of the specifics.]

[abhero]

Ha! If I really was an idiot you wouldn't stick around even for a common goal. Not if you got by so well on your own.

[pianistofraielin]

Well I certainly wouldn't have stuck around for any other reason!

[abhero]

[Shrugs lightly.]

Then the only other explanation is you being a masochist. Maybe your real title was Hero of Tough Love.

[Nods sagely.]

Yeah, that is my official version until we get more Echoes.

[pianistofraielin]

Ugh!!

That wasn't it either!

There was a girl there, I bet I was trying to protect her from you!

[abhero]

And doing a bad job cause no monster would take you seriously.

[pianistofraielin]

AUGH! THAT WAS YOUR FAULT!!!

[abhero]

The fact that some stupid graffiti made them laugh at you says more about you than it says about me. A real hero with actual charisma wouldn’t let that stop him, he’d own it and make the monsters regret dissing him.
