[So, after hearing about how everyone had been given a 'special power' whenever they came here, Shiage was very interested (and overjoyed) to see what he could have.

[ have a rather uproarious round of applause, accompanied by very loud (and obnoxious) laughter. ]

That was really something! This is some kind of comedy routine, right?

Right. So you're power has to be something suitably heroic... it can't just be about being up bad guys. What's the most heroic thing you can think of?

[defiesfinality]

... It's not that easy, huh? [SIGH.] The most heroic thing I can imagine would be lending strength to people who are weaker than myself.

[selfsatisfying]

Then that's your power. Simple, eh? [ ...granted he has no idea if that's actually true, but whatever. ]
