[The feed clicks on, revealing the face of Regina; a woman with dark, impeccably styled hair, red lips and a deeply unimpressed expression. The voice she speaks with is deep, the kind of voice that fills throne rooms and city halls.]
Well, well, well, all you... heroes. [Her tongue is unkind to the word, clearly showing her scorn.] How does it feel to be told by the world where you belong? Are you happy? Do you feel confident? I do hear there are places in this world where they fawn over your kind.
[No, Regina does not consider herself among the group, even though she too has been branded a "registered hero". The label is an ill fit, redemption be damned; too long has she been wearing the mantle of the villain and acted the part. She's rebelling against a label forced on her and rejecting a title she doesn't feel she deserves at the same time.]
And in the line of duty, do you conveniently never find yourself in a situation where you might have to kill your opponent?
[A mirthless smirk.]
Fair warning, as your newly appointed family counselor: this might be a good time to tell your children to go play outside. Do have that conversation with them at some point, though. Else they might end up calling you a liar.
Enlist my help only if you must.

So I take it you're not exactly the sugar-coating type, huh?

No, not exactly.

But since that's over and done with, no, she doesn't like to sugar-coat things.]

Sometimes you can't get around killing someone. If I have to, then... that's how it has to be. Kind of try to avoid it when possible, though.

Where's the line, then? What's a justifiable kill? And which one's just going to be swept under the rug and which one will cause an uproar?

There's ways to keep people from hurting others without killing them.

Of course, I don't consider myself a hero. I've found people who call themselves that tend to put on masks and run around in costumes.

[Well. At least there'll be something to laugh about.]

video; hello hello 8D
[no she wants you to tell her she's so ready to crack her knuckles and fight]
video; =D hiii she is my fave
video; mine too can you tell; also omg it's scientist nerd dude from Pacific Rim
video; I should hope she's your fave! & yes! he's pt of a set of 2
video; he's so earnest
video; XD earnest, you mean too chatty
video; chatty and sincere
video; and annoying

Calling everyone who arrives a "hero" doesn't make us all so. It's a title they like to shove upon us, but not a title we have to accept.
[ video ]
[Sarcasm dripping. Just a little.]
It appears the title of hero does come with a set of government-issued privileges.

Not that it's exactly a big secret, but she'll withhold for now.]

( So flat, so deadpan, and then she grins. Listen, okay, attractive and somewhat scary women are like a fiery death that her moth-self can't quite resist. And doesn't try to. At all. )
Family counselling actually something you're interested in, or did you score that one in job bingo?
( Not sure that's how bingo works, Sarissa, but okay. )

I was assigned this job upon my arrival, god knows why.
[She might've said "it could be worse" but -- no, it really couldn't. The couples are okay, though she's hardly interested in someone else's relationship drama. But every chubby-cheeked child she sees is like a painful stab in the chest reminding her that she'll never see her own child again.]

[Yes. He is in the military at sixteen and has technically been training for it for the past four years prior to officially getting in. And has killed. Okay, so he's killed vampires, but he's still taken out his lust for vengeance on them and not the particular vampire directly responsible for killing his family, but even so.
The word 'family' strikes a chord. A painful one. Because being here, Yuu is separated from his own. From Shinoa and the rest of the squad, separated from Guren, from Mika. His expression falters a little at that before he tries to come back.]
Counselling, huh? I guess that's about as suited to whatever you're used to back home as driving an ice cream truck.
[Which is to say, not at all.....probably.]

[She's a bit taken aback -- he looks young, too young. Back in the Enchanted Forest, she hardly would've cared; in times of war, boys would have been drafted much younger. Now that she has her own young son, though? Things are a bit different.]

They mean "hero" like they mean "soldier" here half the time, so you can probably assume the killing's implied in there. I don't get myself involved with all that, though; seems stupid to get all worked up over a lousy title when you can get all the same benefits by staying out of it.

[Yeah ngl the politician in her finds it kind of intriguing. In those short moments when she's not supremely pissed.]
