[OH MAN A HERO PARTY???? PAO-LIN IS ON THAT LIKE A CAT ON CATNIP.]

Oh, I didn't know you were a hero too! [SO EXCITE.]

[voice] talontrot October 16 2011, 22:41:11 UTC

Yep! I've been one for a couple of years now! [The pride in Kazooie's voice is not easily missed.] What kinda hero stuff do you do, Pao-lin?

[voice] lightningcute October 17 2011, 04:23:18 UTC

I catch criminals and save innocent people for HeroTV! Sometimes I also do promotional and charity events too. It depends on what my sponsors want, or what HeroTV wants.

[Kazooie is going to quickly find that Pao-lin's experience of being a Hero is a wee bit different from what she expects.]

[voice] talontrot October 17 2011, 08:12:42 UTC

[... On the contrary, this is almost - in a vague way - similar to Kazooie being a video game character.]

HeroTV? Who're those guys?

... So you pretty much get paid to be a hero or something? Man, how come I couldn't land a job like that?

[voice] lightningcute October 17 2011, 08:29:21 UTC

Yep! HeroTV is a really popular TV show back where I'm from. It's been around for about 25 years. Being a Hero can be a hard job sometimes, but I really enjoy it! [And it pays pretty damn well, too, even for someone who's not super-popular.]

[voice] talontrot October 19 2011, 03:04:20 UTC

Sounds kinda like my job - and I'm pretty popular where I'm from too! [At least, she likes to think she is.] Lots of people like my video games!

They haven't been around that long, though.

[voice] lightningcute October 19 2011, 05:07:58 UTC

Oh, you've done video games? That sounds really cool! What was that like?

[voice] talontrot October 20 2011, 04:09:03 UTC

I haven't just done 'em, I'm from them. [Kazooie gives that a moment to sink in, though it will... probably need more than a moment in all honesty.]

[voice] lightningcute October 24 2011, 01:18:12 UTC

...from a video game? Like, you actually came out of a video game?

[Have a very perplexed Pao-lin, Kazooie.]

[voice] talontrot October 24 2011, 03:27:01 UTC

Yep! Well, that's my world, anyway... I've never been outside of a video game before.

[And she's still not entirely sure she is. Luceti might be a game too, after all.]

The game's named after Banjo 'n' me - I just finished the sequel, Banjo-Tooie, before I got dragged here.

[voice] lightningcute October 25 2011, 00:07:30 UTC

O-okay...but how do you know you're from a video game?

[voice] talontrot October 25 2011, 01:27:19 UTC

... I've just known... it's weird. Everybody in my games seems to. Heck, I even knew a little about other video game characters.

[It's strange. Like other basic knowledge she had in her games, she's never been aware of... not knowing those things. It's like trying to think about her childhood - there's a weird void of time there, and it's unsettling to her.]

[voice] lightningcute October 26 2011, 03:36:41 UTC

[........

Hokay. Pao-lin's going to just go with this for now. After all, if there are cartoon ponies running around Luceti, it's entirely possible that the Malnosso are able to pluck people from fictional media too.]

So then what happens when the game is turned off? Do you stop existing?

[voice] talontrot October 26 2011, 08:54:22 UTC

... Good question. I never really notice when that happens... but I guess it has to eventually. Though who'd get bored of me enough to turn it off...?

[... Really, she ends up going into a sort of suspended animation when the game gets paused and saved, but she's never really quite aware of that. Unless there's a bad end cutscene, and even then...]

[voice] lightningcute October 27 2011, 01:59:31 UTC

I'm sure it's not that people get bored of you! But sometimes they need to take a rest, because staring at a screen for too long can strain your eyes. Or they get hungry and they need to eat, or they have to do homework, or something.

[voice] talontrot October 29 2011, 10:00:10 UTC

[Picturing people having lives outside of a video game is not an easy one for Kazooie.]

... Is that what people do? I mean, never been outside of the games until... now. Maybe. If this even is "outside"...
