[sponsorigami]

I'm glad. I haven't really heard about what's going on there. Quiet?

[forevalone]

People seem anxious and there's been a bit of commotion, but for the most part it's been quiet.

_{[Or rather, it's been quiet for Shinji since when he's not spending time helping clean or cook he's laying on his bunk by himself, staring up at the ceiling. There's one thing about these messages that's bothering him though - namely because he doesn't know who Ivan is. Origami-san was how he'd been introduced, after all.]}

I'm sorry but who is this?

Sorry Shinji!

[sponsorigami]

Oh... I guess I'm easy to overlook. I'm sorry (._. )

[ He instantly thinks it's an issue of being in the background, silent for the most part... even if his suit stands out a lot. Without it... he thinks he could be very forgettable. ]

... Does Origami sound familiar?

It's okay Ivan

[forevalone]

Oh, Origami-san. I didn't recognize your name.

I'm sorry.

[sponsorigami]

... I guess it doesn't matter if I try to use one name over the other. Please use whichever name you like

[forevalone]

Well, it is your name...which are you more comfortable being referred to as?

[sponsorigami]

... Most people call me Origami

[ Because he has like two people back home who call him by his real name. Everyone else is connected to Hero TV. ]

[forevalone]

...Do you like that name?

[sponsorigami]

I do, but I wonder if I should drop my hero name to make it easier on everyone

[forevalone]

You're a hero?

[sponsorigami]

Yes, I'm one of Stern Bild's heroes... I'm not a very high ranked one however

[forevalone]

What sort of hero are you? What do you do?

[sponsorigami]

I help protect the citizens and capture criminals

We earn points and are ranked based on how well we do

[forevalone]

You're graded? Like one would be at school?

[sponsorigami]

It's... closer to earning points in a sports game, I suppose. Though maybe also graded since how high we rank is important too

[ Like for paychecks.... ]

[forevalone]

Why is it important what rank you get? Isn't saving people more important?

[sponsorigami]

It is, but the ranking helps with popularity and sponsors to fund the heroes

[forevalone]

Funded? Like a corporation?

[sponsorigami]

They help with the costs of being a hero, like medical, training, property damage, communication, transport...

[forevalone]

It sounds like a proper career.

[sponsorigami]

It is. It's my job

[forevalone]

But...isn't that what the police are for? And firemen? And doctors? To save people and enforce the law?

[sponsorigami]

We still have those and work with them, but not everyone can become a hero

[forevalone]

You must be very brave.

[sponsorigami]

... I'm not. The other heroes are the brave ones
