[Mysterio is dressed in full costume to present his latest motivational speech, to be a literal light in these troubling times, and he speaks grandly, with earnest punctuation in his emphasis and tone.]

This month has brought much turmoil and dark days to this world but I am here today to tell you to stay strong and together we will all overcome this. Whatever horrors or terrors that have been visited upon us shall be destroyed, whether it is an undead hoarde or ghosts of the past, let us all stand firm against this adversity.

You can survive. You can be greater. You can move forward and into a brighter day.

Let my words give you the strength to fight. To be a hero for yourself and to rise up and vanquish these dark enemies. Find support in others. Find support in your hearts. Your souls. Let your intelligence guide you. Find your friends and help them. Help a stranger.

But most of all, help yourself. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you.

[Gabriel is still blue and still on fire and still a teenage asshole so.]

...Its gonna hurt when you fall off your high horse.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Don't you ever learn your lesson?

[privatepurchases]

About beating up Nerds? Nah. I love beating up Nerds.

[He winks and grins.]

Why are you like this? Do you really want to protect these people?

[mysterioisthetruth]

Do you really even need to ask that?

[privatepurchases]

[That makes the angel growl before switching off. Arguments could go on forever but in his mind there's action and then talk.

Which is the worst because he normally would just talk.

Maybe this whole bravado in his mind and body was a bad idea.]

[Kenzi looks a little a lot less put together than she did when they first spoke on the network.]

Laaaaaaaame!

[mysterioisthetruth]

And I suppose that you can do better?

This is my official job here, by the way.

[heartstings]

Probs. But I'm not gonna.

Your job is lame, man.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You don't believe in motivating people to their full potential?

[heartstings]

Oh, sure. But I think it can be done in fewer words and less [her hands moves in a circular motion toward the comm] dorkitude.

[Cayde gives him the slow clap and follows it up with a leisurely thumbs-up. You might get the distinct impression that if he had lips, he'd be pursing them. But he doesn't.]

That ... was a speech. Maybe laying it on a liiiittle thick? I give it a 7/10.

[mysterioisthetruth]

With the chaotic state of the world, subtlety would be pointless.

If this makes at least one person stand tall against adversity then I have fulfilled my obligation and done my job.

[lootsnshoots]

Well, you're not wrong, but ...

[Cayde hums. There was nothing *technically* wrong with his big inspiring speech, after all he's heard more than his share, but it's lacking ... something. After a moment he snaps his fingers and narrows his eyes.]

Hear me out—have you considered shoulder pads?

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

You think I need more bulk and muscle?

[lootsnshoots]

[Cayde gives him the once-over and shrugs.]

Oh you cut a fine figure, but I'm thinkin' the clothes make the man, right? Big ol' pauldrons do something for the whole 'commanding presence' thing, you know?

[consulinchief]

Well that was some speech.

[...If a bit generic.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

It's my job. Motivating people.

[And purposefully generic to encompass more people in general.]

[consulinchief]

[It's Roland's too, but he decides to keep that bit to himself for now.]

It was definitely... motivating.

Though in my opinion, I'd say that people have every right to be anxious. It's not every day they're confronted with what feels like the end of the world.

[mysterioisthetruth]

They can be anxious. I'm not saying that shouldn't feel any way they do. But I want to let them see that they can rise above any fear or any confrontational event going on here.

[That he also needs to bolster his own fears is a given, even if he doesn't say so here. He's been dealing with his shadow, he's in denial and he hates it.]

[bridalrose]

Oh, my... A presentation?

Is this your own way of helping friends and strangers?

[mysterioisthetruth]

It's my official job here, but if it helps the people be inspired then I'll have done my job well. It's one way of being a hero.

[bridalrose]

Is it the only heroic path that you prefer? Or does the costuming suggest otherwise?

[mysterioisthetruth]

There are many ways to be a hero. Especially in this world.

And I do more than dress like a hero.

[Except he really says very little there in explanation.]

[stlg13bomber]

You're always so inspirational, I don't know how you keep it up every day. [WELL CARTER FOR ONE THINKS THIS IS A FINE SPEECH. A little cornball but he won't say it out loud. Besides, sometimes a fellow likes cornball.]

[video]

[mysterioisthetruth]

I don't have to give speeches every day, but thank you. I try.
