[So someone had no kind words for Aurora, though he managed not to fight her physically. But he'd ranted and raved and shouted so many questions, and that didn't stop her from dissipating into nothing and completely failing to explain anything about this place to him.

Now he's cooled off a little and he's regretting not shutting the hell up earlier, because probably the thing he hates the worst is asking for help. And nothing is gonna stop him from knowing that that's what he's doing, no matter how he phrases it.]

That damn hologram was totally worthless.

I need my uniform.

Echo picks us, Aurora handles the administration. Or so I gather.

Are they skipping the orientation package these days?

[nitropowered]

Well, I need to have a word with this Echo then!

I dunno! I woke up in a hospital, yelled at the AI thing, and then she disappeared!

[equivo]

You and half of the population. You might be in line for a while. They've been difficult to get a hold of.

I see. Mind if I ask why your first instinct after waking up in a strange place was yelling at the nice imaginary lady trying to explain what was happening? I'm curious about the trend.

[nitropowered]

Ugh! Useless.

What?

[It's just what he does, Krouse, don't ask him to explain himself!]

Because I was angry about being kidnapped to some weird bubble city when I had things to do back home!

[equivo]

Right. Definitely. I get that.

Back in your universe, does this attitude usually get you results?

[nitropowered]

If you're asking if I usually get what I want, then yeah. Yeah I do.

[equivo]

Uh huh.

Well, free tip: you might want to consider adjusting your approach. Yelling at computers is notoriously ineffective.

[nitropowered]

Just ask Deku.

I'll yell at whoever I want. It's not like I didn't figure out what I needed to know without pandering to some simp.

[equivo]

Holy shit.

You're the Dynamight? Rival for the spot of Number One Hero? The boy with true heroism in his heart? Friend to children, dogs, and senior citizens alike? That Dynamight?

[ He may be laying it on a little thick. ]

[nitropowered]

[What the hell has Deku been saying about him?! What the crap!?]

Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, that's me! I don't know about all that other stuff, but yeah, I am a hero.

Did you hear about me from Deku?

[equivo]

Your number one fanboy? Oh, in passing. Barely a fleeting mention.

Can I ask you something I've been curious about?

[ And without waiting for a yes: ]

Is the name supposed to double as a threat, or it is more of a general statement of brand intent?

[nitropowered]

he's a damn nerd is what he is!

what?

someone told me your hero name is a statement of who you want to be, what you want to be as a hero, so I guess statement of intent?

[equivo]

Is that any way to talk about an esteemed colleague?

And so your intent, as a hero, is murder via explosions? Or are you preventing murder via explosions? I like the second option. It has a refreshing directness lacking in too many superhero monikers.
