04 > VIDEO - I Want To Know More About You

[databoner]

[Oh look, a new post on the imPort communicator! Although this time, there seems to be no ID attached to the post, it's entirely anonymous. It's pretty late at night on the 25th, surely some people will be up.]

Heroes.

How safe do you really think you are?

Do you think your secrets are really your own?

The truth will always be found out.

You don't belong here, and you know it.

The people here deserve better than what you, and the Government can give them. They deserve the truth about their saviors...

Within the next 12 hours, this information and more will be shared with the public. For a group of "heroes," there is quite a lot of blood spilled under your name, isn't there?

Do you know how much damage you've done?

The actual toll you've taken on this world?

Half a billion is taken out of the pocket of the civilians you've "saved" to cover damages, freebies, and those Swear-In ceremonies. Money that could be put towards so many other things; poverty, food shortages, housing for those people who really need it. Like parasites, you take from the host and give nothing back.

And all for what? So that the Government can hope to convince you to be their personal weapons of warfare. After all, you're the only kind of weapon they have that they can simply bring back to life should you die. Those nanites in every single imPort body ensure that.

So Heroes.

Do you think you can really make this world a better place, with all of the baggage you have tying you down? Maybe there is a chance you can do some good… But you need to first remove the threads that hold you to the deception being administered.

[OOC: Aaaand Inumuta is currently infected with the Hornet's Mind Clone of Miguel Rodriguez right now! So he's not exactly himself at the moment. Right now, Inumuta's doing the whole anonymous schtick, but if any hackers/people capable of tracking him down do any digging whatsoever, they'll find him. He's intentionally not covering his tracks as well as he could have because as a Hornet, he isn't shying away from any jabs he can get at Imports.

So, action is possible, but please try to coordinate with other players in this! Feel free to threadjack, whatever!

Side note: Please forgive my typos, and I'm sorry for the poor choice in pictures for some characters, if I used a picture you don't like and want a new one, send me a link. Also also, I will update this post with a few more characters once I hear back from a few people to get their final approval from my plotting post.]

Comments

[tuxedo_magician]

I have an entire task force devoted to catching me, actually. Old man Nakamori is a blast.

They do, although I honestly didn't expect to find him here too. Oh, well, what's a thief to do without at least one critic of their work to follow them?

[Sorry, not sorry, Conan, that he's selling you out.]

[hypnotherapy]

My, how famous. You must be very proud of your reputation. And what do you steal, may I ask? Priceless works of art? Precious artifacts? I'm intrigued.

Heh. It seems that every criminal draws in a counterpart, though perhaps my situation is a little more complex than yours. [ He still can't work out why Megaman is scared of him; it's not like the boy has actually told him yet, either. Not that he expects it, but...it bothers him. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

Priceless gems, actually. Although I hardly keep the things that I take.

[KID would also count Hakuba in that, but alas, the half British Detective isn't here. More's the pity, that.]

Oh?

[hypnotherapy]

Ah, a crow-thief then. [ Shiny objects...he can't resist the joke. God his sense of humor is bad. ] Though if you don't usually keep what you take, then you're in it for the thrill? Or perhaps something other than that, who knows.

Ah, well, the hero in question is scared of me. I have no knowledge of why, seeing as I remember he is on good terms with me now and was never scared of me before. There's an unknown variable that's come into play.

But if he decides never to talk to me again, that's his choice, not mine. It can't be helped.

[tuxedo_magician]

Mm.

[Crows make him think of black and black makes him think of Snake and that's so not a road he wants to go down. Especially not when he's still working to confirm that the slimy bastard isn't around somewhere and just hasn't shown his face yet.]

Well, I can't deny that the thrill isn't alluring. Nor is the screaming adoration of all my fans.

That is strange. Although, circumstances being what they are, I can't imagine that it'll continue. Circumstances here might dictate that you will be forced to work together. It seems to be rather inevitable when it comes to Tantei-kun and myself. Perhaps that'll be the key to discovering why he is.

[hypnotherapy]

Oho, a celebrity? I haven't seen many of those around. You're one for theatrics, I'd assume?

Considering the current state of affairs, it's likely to force cooperation, though I can't imagine he'd be too happy about it. But hopefully we can get the discrepancy sorted out sooner or later. A memory share should do it, but him agreeing to it would be another matter entirely.

I would hope circumstances don't force his hand into things he's not used to, though. That would be a shame. Children should be allowed to be children - if the circumstances allow, of course. Life can be cruel like that. [ It's an interesting word choice to use. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

A magician by trade and what better stage is there then the whole world?

[Of course, KID knows that Tantei-kun is anything but a child, but there are certain things he would never do - spilling the secrets of Conan Edogawa and thus, in turn, Shinichi Kudo, were among them.

Doesn't mean he wouldn't troll the faux child with it, though.]

Of course. It's unfortunate that they don't always work that way.

[To this day, he wonders if his father ever truly wanted him to stumble upon his secrets. Jii-chan made it sound like he didn't, but the recordings... and his mother never seemed surprised that he knew. Then again, when one's own mother is the Phantom Lady...]

[hypnotherapy]

A magician? Well met, then. Though I've never had the taste for the stage - that's a little too much theatrical work for me. I prefer to be backstage, to push the metaphor further.

[ Well, his comm ID does clearly read 'Magicman', so. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

I was never one for sitting out of the limelight, as it where.

Besides, I fear to think what would happen to my precious task force if I suddenly went into retirement.

[Although Aoko might finally start hating on him less.

The pains of having two identities.]
