9th Hangover - I'm Real ☠☠☠☠ [Call | Everyone]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[After a confusing conversation with a strange young man. The Captain is putting out a call to the town.]

"Okay people, I got a question. Who here has read comic books back home?"

[The Captain is sure the guy was just crazy. Mostly sure.]

Flying stat?

[Someone doesn't play video games.]

Because they aren't famous. People don't like the x-men because they aren't human. People don't like the Hulk because he is a monster. People...

Well everyone loves ☠☠☠☠ Captain America. Well Americans do, not so sure about Germans or Russians.

[abravelikehero]

Yeah! I heard there was an item that could grant it, but I never did find it.

There was quite a bit of Captain America stuff I noticed, so that's probably true. But are you sure they aren't famous? I mean, they're heroes right? Heroes are famous. Successful ones at least.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah someone people had ways to fake it and fly.

I am pretty sure the others aren't. I don't know what sort of place you come from but back home being a hero doesn't mean people like you. The X-men weren't quite human so people hate them for it. There was something going on with politics and having them hunted, I don't know I don't pay much attention to that ☠☠☠☠.

So wait, you've heard of them but not Nextwave?

[abravelikehero]

Back home only demons seemed to not really like heroes. Though... I still think Mao really likes them, even if he says he doesn't. Being persecuted does sound pretty complicated. It really is a different kind of world here.

Not that I saw at the store, but maybe that comes out a different week?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the world isn't like comic books. Superman isn't going to fly in and fix everything. It's gritty and pretty complex. People are real, living their lives and trying to get by and trying to keep something new from ending all life.

... How would I know? I'm not a comic.

[Though now his feelings are hurt.]

[abravelikehero]

It's a little disappointing. It's like everything I know about everything doesn't apply here.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out. I plan on going in ever week on delivery day, so if it ever comes in I'll tell you.

Too bad his comic is a one shot run of 9 comics.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if we had super heroes this would have all gone to ☠☠☠☠ long ago.

And thanks kid. I guess that means something.

And not silver age. :c

[abravelikehero]

You could always start it yourself, I hear that's popular lately.

Nope,it was a sorta protest, The Captain is all original.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No, I'm good without marketing. Thanks anyways.

What would he think about the comics available in Mayfeild?

[abravelikehero]

Modest! I think I would be too. Even though I admire Sir Aurum very much, and want to be just like him, I don't think I could ever handle all the stuff there is about him if it were me.

Of course, I could never be as great as Sir Aurum, even trying to be like him is an impossible dream....

What ones are available?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Then don't try to be like him. Try to be your own ☠☠☠☠.

I'm not going to be an Avenger or beat Captain America in a fight but I still helped take down Beyond.

I think all the ones that would be found in America during the 1950s?

[abravelikehero]

My own.... Maybe if I had my title I could aspire to be something....

Haha, he's stupid and avoids books of all sorts. Someone should push him towards them.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Title? Can't you just call yourself something?

Oh man, the comic book store is Almaz' new favourite place of all time!

[abravelikehero]

No way! You need a proper title for a class description. Though, the field has been blank since I got here. And even if it wasn't... my hero title was taken away. I wasn't able to get it back yet.

It will end so poorly.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Don't worry kid, you'll get it back.

I know how hard it is to get a cool name. I tried all sorts of names. I was Captain Marvel once, but who wasn't? I ended up having to pay some crazy melon farmer to get the name The Captain.

Those are usually the most amusing though.

[abravelikehero]

You had to buy your title!? That must have been so frustrating. I made mine, it took a lot of work but I spent my days off working really hard on it. And then when I finished it, I took time off to go defeat the Overlord!

Yeah they are

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Nice, see. You're pretty ☠☠☠☠ yourself.

My name was a pain in the ☠☠☠☠. I was scraping bottom of the barrel there for a while. I was going by Captain Kerosene for a while but someone already had that name.

See, being a super hero is pretty tough.

[abravelikehero]

It sounds incredibly hard.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I made the mistake of being bitter and telling Captain America I was Captain ☠☠☠☠.

[abravelikehero]

That... that seems like a bad idea to say something like that.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, long story short I woke up some time later in a dumpster with a ☠☠☠☠ of a headache and a bar of soap shoved in my mouth.

[abravelikehero]

That's awful!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Captain America is your typical good guy. Though he is also able to back it up by being the top dog.

[abravelikehero]

I-is that really how heroes act in your world?

[It's like a little kids ideals were just crushed.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No, we are all different. We are all human... well some of us are human.

Captain America just is the ideal. He can beat anyone in the end and he doesn't back down from his ideals.
