When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

[spacebro]

Should I be listening to former villains about that kind of thing?

[castrationfist]

I would say my judgment is better than some weird man who can't remember his own name.

[spacebro]

It's Mon-El. The other one is my...secret identity? Or this is? It doesn't matter.

[castrationfist]

Why do you need a secret identity?

[spacebro]

In case I want to be a super hero someday? [Does it sound ridiculous to you too?]

[castrationfist]

Take it from experience, it's not worth it.

[spacebro]

You've tried?

[castrationfist]

Something like it, anyway. I am a Heroic Spirit, after all. The details are a pain, so I'll pass on explanations, however!

[spacebro]

O...kay. It's not like it was my idea anyway. I don't think I'm a hero.

[castrationfist]

Of course not. You're the damsel in distress. We just covered this.

[spacebro]

Does the damsel in distress get to do anything but be in distressed and get rescued?

[castrationfist]

That depends on when and where the story was written, generally.

But not usually.

[spacebro]

I think I might need a new role. Is there one that just hangs out in bars?

[castrationfist]

... The nameless NPCs?

[spacebro]

NPCs?

[castrationfist]

You know, the support characters with no story nor fate. Background characters.

[spacebro]

Oh, okay, sure. NPC. Strange name for them. I'm not sure about the part with no story of fate though. I might want those.

[castrationfist]

Well, it's too late for you, anyway. Your role appears set!

[spacebro]

You're a little odd, aren't you?

[castrationfist]

Not at all. When you're talking about a beautiful girl, it's not 'odd', it's just 'eccentric'!

[spacebro]

How do I know you're a beautiful girl? [It's all voice to him.]

[castrationfist]

Ehhh, fine. This Tamamo is as radiant as the sun, so watch and be amazed!

[The feed switches to video, and... well, at first, it only shows a pair of twitching fox ears, before panning down to show her in her casual outfit.]

Is that better?

[spacebro]

[Wow. His eyes open a little wider in appreciation.] Consider me amazed.

[castrationfist]

Much better! You may heap your praise upon my beauty now!

[spacebro]

[He thought he just did. You want more?] Um...nice ears.
