--oesn't work, remember? That Staryu soaked me to the bone and the 'gear stopped working.

[An exasperated sigh.]

I can't find America anywhere. I looked for him all over the place and we got attacked by that Pidgey on our way down Route 30.

[A pause, it's quiet and then some rustling.]

You think we'll find him, Johnny?

'Bone!Yeah, I think so

[imthe_shit]

Johnny, huh.

[reminded of a certain shitting soldier.]

[imthe_shit]

... We've got... monsters created by humanity... That's all. Maybe you could say... the monsters are humanity.

[savedinapinch]

Monsters created by humanity?

That's sounds scary.

[imthe_shit]

Yeah... It is.

[savedinapinch]

Do they attack people often?

[imthe_shit]

... Yeah.

[savedinapinch]

[She sounds a bit saddened.]

Do people die often?

[imthe_shit]

... Yeah.

[savedinapinch]

Mmm.

But at least you're okay. [She's trying to be optimistic here.]

[imthe_shit]

[TIFA I'M A MONSTER OF HUMANITY is what he's thinking but he decides saying it right now would be awkward. gj Snake.]

..... At least.

[savedinapinch]

[B-baw ;; Snake]

Do you help people from these monsters? Like...are you a hero or something?

[She sounds very excited. Ah, she loves heroes.]

[imthe_shit]

... I'm no hero... Never was, never will be.

[savedinapinch]

Never will be?

How can you be so sure? Have you tried?

[imthe_shit]

No.

Being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've been called a "Legendary Hero", but I'm just a guy with a gun, an old killer that does the dirty work no one else can.

There's no glory in death, no sense of accomplishment at the end. It's all gritty, gory, and full of tears.

I'm no hero. And I never want to be.

[savedinapinch]

There is always two sides to a story, right? I...I don't like death, and I know what you mean.

But if someone calls you a hero...doesn't that mean you were able to help someone? To protect someone?

[imthe_shit]

... That's what people want to think, so that's what they'll believe. But it doesn't make it true.
