Okay, hit me if that's a stupid question or somebody's asked this before, but has anybody tried to make some sort of stairs or a ladder into that well by now? With the frequency we have people struggling to get out of it I'm starting to think making a permanent climbing help would make sense.

(Maybe also something like a 'first arrival bus stop hut' with blankets and a poster with FAQ while we're at it.)

Shiho. She's really cute and has light-colored hair that's a bit curly at the ends. Her eyes are a blueish-purple and she has this specific way of speaking like...

it sounds refined and smart and like what a pretty, nice girl would be saying but beneath it you can just feel the steel that the pretty gloves are hiding. If you're lucky it's just barbed wire and not a razor blade. Something like that.

She's also pretty direct and rude while demanding of others to treat her like some helpless school girl, which isn't really all that manly if you ask me.

[there's a long pause here.]

Your girlfriend...?

[explodosafe]

WHAT GAVE YOU AN IMPRESSION LIKE THAT?!

[ditherer]

You did call her cute, and your description of her was awfully detailed...

[explodosafe]

Haha, yeah, that's right

but that's only because she is, on an objective level!

Sorry to inform you, but I don't swing that way

I like my S's without guns ಹ◡ಹ

[ditherer]

Is that supposed to be some kind of innuendo?

[explodosafe]

Not unless you are naughty and think really weird things about guns~

But seriously, being able to give detailed descriptions is just part of the job I'm learning. And I'm more into sadomasochists who don't try to hide behind some fake impressions while they are true to themselves. ( • ̀ω•́ )✧!

People just being true to themselves will be always the most manly way to go!

[ditherer]

That was far more about your tastes than I needed to know.

But I suppose you're very "manly", then?

[explodosafe]

Hey! You started it! ;P

Okay, real talk now, I honestly don't think anybody'd be interested in me like that and I've honestly been too preoccupied to better myself so that I can be a proper hero in the future?

Phrasing that as a question makes me sad for some reason. @_@



Hmm, well maybe? I'm trying to follow Crimson's example and be as manly as I can, but I don't feel like I'm doing a particular good job about it right now. I mean, I'm doing my best and not regretting anything but there's still a long way to go before I can really live up to such a claim.

[He really wants to be like his idol and honor his inheri-borrowed name, but being manly is a character quality and a way of living, not a level that can be reached. So it's difficult.]

[ditherer]

Is there some kind of procedure for becoming a hero?


Well, I'm not really sure what constitutes as manly, but I'm sure you're doing better than you think you are.

[explodosafe]

There's no absolute must-have step-by-step procedure for it, but usually you first go to a school that teaches heroics and get your provisional hero licenses there, then after graduation you move on to work for an agency, either your own or that of somebody else. Most work for a while as sidekicks for already established heroes and then go solo, but there's no rule against trying to go pro right away either.

As long as you got your license it's cool.

[why in the world do humans make everything so complicated.]

It sounds like quite a bit of work.
