I'm curious as to how accurate or how off the mark the Porter is when she greets everyone with "Welcome to the City, hero". Obviously, there's been a few errors, but I'm curious. Personal interest.

What do you personally do to help people? If you're not doing something to help people, what do you do instead?

I'm a highly respected medical professional!

permatext psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 21:26:52 UTC

In what field?

crabulous February 25 2011, 01:06:49 UTC

I'm a general practitioner of sorts!

psychic_cynic February 25 2011, 07:09:51 UTC

Are you working as a general practitioner here in the City?

[Video clicks on and Darkrai is... Very clearly in the hospital, looking fairly beat up and from the way he's holding the communicator, the most obvious injury is his broken arm.]

I try to help- where I see I can.

Did you get your arm broken as a result of trying to help?

Video; nightmarecause February 24 2011, 21:32:50 UTC

Yes. [He nods.]

And ribs- and hip. Is what I have been told. [He doesn't look particularly pleased about this, but that's mostly because the injuries are healing too slowly for his liking.]

You should find a healer. There's a few in the City, I believe.

Well, I guess it depends on what help is needed, but I try to do what I can.

[Text] psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 21:28:27 UTC

Do you have any particular examples you'd like to share with the class?

:O permavideo! mightymortal February 24 2011, 22:42:58 UTC

Um-- I was helping survivors get out of the wreckage after an Earthquake yesterday.

[permatext!] psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 23:25:13 UTC

Jolly good, then.

I'm not sure hero is accurate for me, but I help people when I can, where I can.

The rest of the time, I am a stage magician.

[Text] psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 21:30:15 UTC

I've never used the term 'hero' for myself. I still help people sometimes.

Even entertainment can help in its own way.

[PermaText] arataznhoj February 25 2011, 01:25:56 UTC

Helping is something anyone can do. Good, evil, neutral, hero and villain, anyone can help someone.

Indeed. During WW2, I toured with some of the entertainment tours, when not... busy.

[PermaText] psychic_cynic February 25 2011, 07:19:50 UTC

And yet, sometimes it seems that very few people manage to get off their arses and help. Part of what prompted my question, really.

I help when I get paid for it.

[Text] psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 21:31:59 UTC

Honesty. I like that. When someone pays you, what kind of help do you provide?

[Text] takeyoutotask February 24 2011, 21:36:41 UTC

Depends on how much I'm getting paid.

[Text] psychic_cynic February 24 2011, 21:43:31 UTC

Fair enough. Does the cause affect your price?
