[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.

Nope, everything is one hundred percent normal for being in a world that isn't my own. [She is so obviously lying, but good luck getting the truth out of her.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

We all have to make adjustments.

[heartstings]

Is overdoing it with the inspirational speeches part of your adjusting?

[mysterioisthetruth]

You think I'm overdoing it?

People need grand, inspiring speeches. They can't be subtle, unless you're going for a certain demographic.

[heartstings]

[She holds a hand up with her fingers less than an inch apart.] Just a bit.

Didn't say you gotta do subtle, just less wordy. People get bored if someone is droning on too long, y'know.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Look, this was about half the length of my last public speech. Any shorter and I may as well just gesture at the crowd instead.

[heartstings]

So you're the very wordy sort, gotcha.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Words are important.

[heartstings]

Words only get you so far. Actions are what matter.

[She pauses to think about what she said for a moment before taking another drink.]

Sounds like some advice Trick would give. [She mutters to herself.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Oh, definitely. People can admire a spectacle.

But a well placed word can have the greatest impact of all.

[heartstings]

Gonna have to disagree.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You don't think mere words can have that much of an effect?

Words can spur people to greatness. Words can devestate and ruin. Words can make people laugh and cry and turn to anger. Words can start wars. Make friendships or break them.

Never underestimate the power of words.

[heartstings]

[She mutters something that's hard to make out before taking another swig.
She can't come up with an argument.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

What was that?

[heartstings]

Your words are stupid. [She sticks her tongue out at him. How mature.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Maybe you would understand if you weren't drunk...

[heartstings]

[She shrugs.]

Maybe.
