[Hello, imPorts! Shinjiro looks decidedly exhausted when the feed turns on-- but that's not exactly a unique case after the past week's events, now is it? But he's finally home from having spent a few nights lending a hand in the Orlando area, and that seems like a good enough time to ask the network a question.]

So all've you that can't fly or teleport or whatever:

How in the hell do you get around when it comes to heroing shit like this? Gettin' through a disaster zone's a damn nightmare...

[He had no plans to go full on STALKS THE NIGHT, but damn, even getting from Heropa to Orlando had been a problem in the wake of several bombs going off- especially since his options are public transit, biking, or just plan hoofing it over. And lets be real, this is likely not going to be the last time something like this happens.

At the end he mutters a quick:]

Dunno how people in Bulgaria expected us to hop over there when we can't even get to the airport- let alone get a ticket over.

When you are in a situation like theirs, it's easier to blame everything that couldn't help than face the realities of your own situation. Sofia wasn't able to handle her emergency. Without the number who responded in Orlando, she would have been in the same situation.

Emotional statements are emotional. They're not meant to make logical, rational sense. They can't.

[hoboagogo]

yeah it makes sense
i ain't that pissed that they hate us

just makes me wonder how much anyone thought this all out before hyping us up as magic-heroes and shit
a lot of our powers really ain't that useful

[lyingheart]

That's a curious fact, isn't it? When they've had prior understanding of how sporadic and unexpected imPort talents can be... yet there are those who decide to frame the idea of "us" as something else. To what ends. I'm not sure if oversight is the proper word for it.

[ Too purposeful... or too short sighted, if not. ]

[hoboagogo]

im sticking with my theory of flaunting us at the soviets
like a bratty kid with a new toy or something

world turned just fine before we were here so its not like they really need us

[lyingheart]

It's less flaunting and more... threatening. Simply because we're the unknown factor.

No. They don't. We're just another complication in this complicated world.
