episode 09 [Video | laptop]

[wannabered]

Listen and be amazed!

[Looks like Thomas is up on the network again, this time he's moved a bunch of stuff so the area the camera is pointing is devoid of anything but him, the floor, and the wall behind him. He's looking quite excited today.]

It's happened! The echo I knew was coming ever since that action figure showed up. It's time, to transform!

[Thomas pulls his gun out from seemingly his back pocket before spinning it on his finger and pointing it to the ground and pulling the trigger.]

Grand Delusion!

[He's suddenly covered in red light before it fades revealing a slightly more heroic visage.]

The REDiant hero! AkibaRed!

... So! What do you all think? Pretty cool huh? I didn't quite remember how the full thing went, so I improvised and man, I think it worked pretty well.

You know, I did too. Nope, looks like I'm the leader. As for the delusion part ... n-no.

That does throw the whole thing into question. Maybe you are the blue one and the delusion is that you somehow got to be red~

[wannabered]

Really? That's great. If there's enough of us here we might be able to make a proper team sooner or later.

Hey Bakura, how about we have that fight now? What do you say?

[Clearly not appreciating what Bakura in insinuating. Don't take being the leader away from him.]

Only if you promise not to transform mid way.

You know I'm just being a dick, right? Of all the transform phrases....

[sun_sun]

I've already got at least one teammate lined up. I don't have the ultra-squad look going on, but still pretty kickass, right?

[Attached: Magical selfie.]

[wannabered]

Yeah I know I know. I'm not sure WHY that's the phrase, but I'm going to just roll with it.

[shiromadoushi]

Long as it works, right?

And hey, if anyone spots you using it, you can always say you're an illusionist~

[pianistofraielin]

do you have awesome attacks with ridiculous name callouts yet? i bet that's on the list!

[part_time_overlord]

[actual applause.]

Very cool, very cool.

[youngestone]

Like a knife?

[video]

[wannabered]

Yeeep.

[wannabered]

I probably do? I don't remember any quite yet though.

[wannabered]

There is no way I'm doing this in public unless we're attacked. So, hopefully no one spots me.

[youngestone]

...okay then. Can you take it off? The costume, I mean.

[shiromadoushi]

Good to see sober you has that much sense, at least.

[pianistofraielin]

well obviously a proper sentai warrior is going to have at least one! i bet you'll remember it at the most dramatic moment possible, and you'll use it to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and save the day!!

that's just how this kind of stuff works, you know?

And then?

[wannabered]

... What do you mean and then?

[wannabered]

Ultra-squad?

Oooh, the classic magical girl look. Very nice.

[wannabered]

[He does a few bows.]

Thank you. Thank you. You're too kind.

[wannabered]

I ... lets not talk about that.

[blind_devotion]

...is everyone a superhero except me?

[chalicejoker]

Weird that you got the action figure first...

[And he's about to say something else before an echo of his own kicks in. That sure is a memory of a guy using a card and a belt to turn into the red-armored bug-eyed thing he remembers fighting. And the bug-eyed guy had a gun, too.]

It's weirding me out that you're transforming with the gun and not a belt or something...the guys I fought had belts.
