*Something's gnawing at Kotetsu. Like a desperate urge. He tries to distract himself from it by kicking the butts of a few more low level villains, but eventually he can't seem to fight it anymore.*

[VIDEO]

RIGHT! I have no idea why I feel like I need to mention ANY OF THIS CRAP, but I can't take it anymore! Guys! I brush my teeth while I'm in the bath! I always clip my nails too short! It's really freaking stupid but I end up really liking any actresses that show up in my dreams! I WAS FREAKING NUMBER 6 OUT OF 7 ON THE HEROES LIST BEFORE BUNNY SHOWED UP AND BECAME MY PARTNER! There! I said it! I don't even know why because it's not like they were weighing on my head but it's like a big freaking burden's been lifted!

Okay! I'm gonna go drink myself into an alcoholic stupor now! BYE.

((OOC: 1% on his ranking before meeting Bunny.))

...I knew it.

[Okay, it's not like he really remembered it or anything, but he is amazingly smug about that.]

I do own five pairs of glasses, though.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Yeah, sure, smug it up you little --

Wait, why the hell do you need five pairs? Ain't that going a little overboard?

[rookierabbit]

I'm not exactly sure why, but it never hurts to have a pair on hand.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

*A* pair, yeah, but five of 'em? Doesn't that get really friggin' expensive?

I'd offer to join you for the drinking, but I'd just end up saying stuff I'll regret.

Re: [video]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I already DID. What the hell harm could it do at this point?

[canthandleacape]

A whole lot! Your weird habits are peanuts compared to everything I've been keeping secret from you!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Aw come on, man, you act like we'd totally hate you for life or something. We've forgiven you for all the OTHER crap you've already done, right?

...That really came out wrong.

[overwinters]

... Heroes list?

[ have a curiously blinking young girl. ]

Re: [ video ]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

You know, which hero is most popular, got the most points nabbing criminals, etc. etc. It's massively important towards your marketing!

[overwinters]

Are there that many heroes around where you come from? If there are that many that they would need a list for it..

Re: [ video ]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

There's ENOUGH of them, I guess. But it's more of a... I dunno, a publicity stunt! I mean, it's pretty damn stupid no matter what way you look at it, but it sure sells t-shirts.

[trustycrowbar]

...There's a ranking system too? You'd think the guys would just be happy that you're saving their asses... So why the popularity contest in the first place?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

To drum up public interest, apparently. Get a competition going, and suddenly everybody wants to watch heroes and root for their favorites. It's brilliant in a sick sorta way.

[trustycrowbar]

It is, when you put it that way. Good intentions aside, it still depends upon an endless stream of atrocities to stop. I'd rather see 'em not happen in the first place.

[And then he realizes something.]

So... Bunny was your partner BEFORE you came here to Sirocco?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Not by CHOICE, if you gotta know. Apollon Media bought the company I was working for and decided having two guys with the same power working together would make great publicity.

[snippysnipe]

Is every person in this town a raving drunk?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I'll have you know I'm not drunk yet!

...GAH, I could've TOTALLY used that as an excuse if I WAS, though!

[snippysnipe]

I wouldn't worry about it. Like I said, you fit right in with all the other rambling lunatics.

[stinglikeabat]

Six out of seven? That's not very high at all!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

I know! It totally sucks! I used to be really good, but then everybody else got better! Joachim, getting old sucks! And so does RAMPANTLY ADMITTING MY OWN CRAPPINESS FOR NO GOOD REASON!

[stinglikeabat]

That does sound terrible! I'm sure glad I'm not human. Why, you probably won't even get anywhere near four hundred at that rate, and I really wish I hadn't said that for a number of reasons! I'm not normally this tactless, am I?

[rainbowbrush]

Whoa! You're messed up, you know that?

And really gross, too!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Awwwww man, that really hurts coming from a little girl. It'd only be worse if I were hearing it from my own daughter.

[rainbowbrush]

Whaaaaaat?

...Stop making fun of me!
