I feel like I should be blowing dust or something off of this. I'm really bad at updating stuff. Work takes up too much timeeee. ;;

... I wonder sometimes if I should just become a super hero. Can you make money off of that?

Maybe through donations.

Usually heroes keep their identity secret to avoid paying for all the property damage they cause, directly or indirectly.

That's a good point.

I just think my skills would probably be better put towards heroing than making deliveries for places.

I mean I can go really fast but come on.

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly, but do you see heroes in comics or movies living a comfy, content life? ...Those who start with money notwithstanding.

Well, just think of all the money you're saving on fuel.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Fuel nothing, I don't even know how to drive.

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
...huh.

...

I guess I never really bothered learning either. I just figured most everyone rode motorcycles these days.

... I don't know how to drive a motorcycle either, soo...

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Nor have I. Just surprised that you haven't, being in delivery and all.

... I guess, just be thankful you stay in shape easily?

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have the balance to ride anything with two wheels.

Well, yes. But it doesn't make things less tiring.

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
...so you don't even ride a bicycle. It's all on foot.

Being a hero would be far more tiring, I imagine.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Bicycles were always something I could never figure out.

But I can run really really fast.

Because I'm a ninja.

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
...

You might be able to get some sort of gig... like... promotion dressed up like a character. Probably Sentai or Kamen.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. I don't think either of those have a ninja.

Well, maybe Super Sentai might, but I don't really know all of the themes they had.

[identity profile] pureplainpatron.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure there was a ninja sentai.

...though don't quote me on that.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Besides, I'm not thematically colored.

I'd need to be a primary shade.

Please, no vigilantes.

Most countries discourage action by private citizens against criminality.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Awwwh.

But being a speedy ninja for deliveries suuucksss

[identity profile] isdragonlady.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's how things are.

You'd need for like. The end of the world being averted by people around here. And obviously so, for it to become acceptable?

... also I'd love a speedy ninja for delivery.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm a speedy ninja for delivery right now.

It's my only useful skill.

[identity profile] isdragonlady.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
You could always market yourself to the rich and powerful.

Or you could ask the Spirit Foundation about it.

So, where do you work so that I can ask for you to deliver?

[identity profile] isdragonlady.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't be too hard to find out.

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
What would you super heroic off of?

And I think Super Heroes would either work for government, or get corporate sponsors...?

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno.

But I feel like I should be doing something more practical with being a ninja and all.

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're not assassinating people or stealing confidential files, are you?

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? No, not really.

I'm making food deliveries.

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure if you count as a Ninja then.

Though, I guess you could deal with the Skull Servant situation?

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
But I'm definitely a ninja! A superpowered one!

... What Skull Servant situation?

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
They're generally being a problem on side roads and the like. Conning people, stealing things, selling metaphysical concepts...

Or so I hear. Basically the tournament finals are encouraging it.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
... I think I can only really go after them if they're stealing things. The other two are kinda weird spots.

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well if they are, I hear they go down easily...?

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, really.

You don't need to be a super ninja to be able to beat up a skeleton.

[identity profile] whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com 2012-04-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no. But it gives tactical advantage before they auction off your super speed.

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-20 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
I guess.

[identity profile] i-like-red.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Being a super hero probably isn't the best job to have if you need to live off it...

[identity profile] blackmage-linka.livejournal.com 2012-04-18 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah, I know. I was just considering it though.

It'd sure be more of a practical application than delivering stuff really fast.
