1% to the Wild Roar, mangs

[ACTION; KOTETSU AND YURI'S APARTMENT]

*Kotetsu hums to himself as he works with a piece of material he'd picked up from the store. The money from all that random junk they'd picked up in the Item World had turned out to be more than sufficient to pay for the damages to the kitchenette, to his great satisfaction. And now a memory's returned, and somehow he feels like he needs something to accompany it. Something... familiar.

He finishes his work and holds it out in front of him. A little crude, but it'll do for the time being. Just a little bit of elastic banding and...*

[ACTION; ON THE ROOF OF THE ERMIS SUITES]

*He stands up here, the familiar feeling of a mask around his eyes, his hands on his hips, looking out over the skyline.*

All right, Sirocco, listen up! You don't have to worry anymore! Crime, disaster, mayhem -- all of it! You've got a guy here who's going to take care of everything for you! For I am... Wild Tiger!

*Cue a dynamic set of moves!*

And evil is going to quaver at... my WILD ROAR!

*Pause. He relaxes, rubbing the back of his head, grinning.*

Ahhhh, that feels great! I can't believe I forgot all of that.

((OOC: 1% back to both his superhero name/gimmick and the rest of his full name. FINALLY.))

[Shirou heard a commotion up on the roof, so he came to look.

And now he's standing there, looking in surprise at a genuine superhero.]

*That image is mildly ruined as Kotetsu turns to head back and flails a bit in surprise that someone is there. Well come on, man, you expected not to attract attention?*

Oh, uh... Hey there! What can Wild Tiger do for you?

*Smooth. Fuggin'. Moves.*

[Action]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Huh? Uh. Er.

[Stumbling over his words now.]

I. Don't need anything.

Re: [Action]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well.

*...awkward.*

Just stay safe and let me know if any trouble's going on, okay? I'll be there in a jiffy!

*Thumbs up! This is what cool heroes do, right?*

*Saleh approaches from behind, clapping slowly. Who knows how long he's been there, but he's heard plenty.*

The wild roar of a wild tiger. Well, at least you're keeping to your theme.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*He stiffens a bit. Oh great.*

I suppose you've got something to say about THIS idea, too.

[hystaria.livejournal.com]

Technically, I already said something.

*But you know what, let's go beyond that.*

Unless you'd like to hear the longer version?

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Not particularly.

*Mostly because he has a feeling he knows what the longer version is, and he's not going to like it.*

[Yuri watches thoughtfully, having been drawn up here by the sight of a man on the roof from below. Hmm.]

A noble goal, but how do you propose to go about achieving it?

Re: [action]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*He jumps a bit. For a superhero, he's not very good at picking up people showing up when he's not looking.*

Ah, well... I mean, I just gotta do what I can, right? I mean, as long as I'm out there, fighting to defend people, it's... an icon or something. Sorta. If I could get more people in on it, we could really make sure innocent people stay safe.

Something like that.

[Yuri folds his arms over his chest, unimpressed by this logic.]

As I said, I approve of your aims, but you are aware that fighting crime on your own in this manner is vigilantism, aren't you? Vigilantism is dangerous. You could harm yourself or others, or at the very least, damage property, and you would be liable. [Damage property... There's something oddly familiar about that.]

The proper way to fight crime is to contact the authorities. You need to liaison with the local government if you are going to carry this plan out. It's not so easy to fight criminals--or "disaster and mayhem", as you put it. One can't approach it haphazardly.

Re: [action]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*That's probably because back home, Kotetsu's picture would've been in the dictionary next to "damaged property" if two word phrases were allowed.*

I know, I know. Just don't feel like I can sit back and do nothing either. But hey, you said you might push for doing stuff like that more officially, right? Any progress on that?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Do the roar again!

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*Blink.

Grin.

DYNAMIC POSE.*

Evil, you too will learn to fear... my WILD ROAR!

*Hot damn, he feels cool.*

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

[clap clap cheer]

That's so cool! See, that's the kind of thing a real hero should do!

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Doesn't it just make you wanna go out and stop crime in its tracks?

[witheasygrace.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't arrive by air, yet! But he does arrive. Heroic shouting is strangely attractive!]

Nice moves, Kotetsu! You inspire a lot of confidence!

Is Wild Tiger your real name?

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Huh? No no no. That's my superhero name! It's cool, isn't it? And it makes so much sense! You know, Ko-tetsu? Ko? As in tiger? Hah!

Though I did remember the rest of my name. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi. But I'm pretty sure that's not something I'm supposed to give out too much when I'm heroing.

[witheasygrace.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it! [He doesn't!]
That's a very cool name. Both of your names are cool! It makes sense to have two if you're going to be disguised a lot of the time.
I hope I remember my last name soon, I'd like to know that.

[Also up on the roof, somewhere behind him]

[sardine-power.livejournal.com]

A name like Wild Tiger, and a costume like that... you're a hero, aren't you?

Re: [Also up on the roof, somewhere behind him]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Why yes! Yes I am. How neat is that, Valvatorez?

[sardine-power.livejournal.com]

You...! How do you know my name?

[And here's Joachim some other dork in a mask vaulting over from the roof next door.]

Well said, fellow ally of justice!

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*Holy crap a second hero! Who'd have thought!*

You're in the business too, huh? We can help each other out!

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Indeed I am!

The city's been quiet for the last few nights - aside from those bird hunters, of course - but you never know when evil will choose to strike! From now on, consider us allies!
