$5 a person for like 30 minutes of jumping through a hoop -- I think it'd work.

??? NO ????

[mstitel]

Look me in the eye and tell me it wouldn't make money.

[droptheious]

That's beside the point!! It's degrading. I'm not doing it.

[mstitel]

Ah c'mon, it'd be like exercise! Dogs like running around, right?

[droptheious]

It won't be like exercise, it's like a circus. Anyway, Jun's right. Cats are more popular, you could probably get in a lot more money than any of us canines.

[mstitel]

Riiiiiiight I see, it’s stage fright, isn’t it?

There was an entire few hours of dog shows on TV over Thanksgiving, people may like seeing cats but they PAY to see dogs!

[droptheious]

No, it's not wanting to make a fool of myself. Two very different things.

...Really? People are weird.

[mstitel]

Yeah. I mean... apparently.

I'm honestly just going off of what Google says about THIS world. I don't even know if dogs still exist in my world.

Or circuses.

[droptheious]

Trust me, the cat thing seems way more popular from my understanding of internet culture.

But I get it, you kinda have to figure it out yourself if you haven't really... experienced it yourself.

[whiteshroud]

[...........]

Cat pictures do better on the internet.

[mstitel]

[........... how dare you.]

Yes. But. People can't ignore a dog in a tutu.

[whiteshroud]

They can if there's a cat in a tutu.

A N Y W A Y

If you're serious about setting up a supernatural protection squad for hire, I lead a superhero group in my home world. I can try to see about organizing and finding people to respond to calls. If. You know. You were serious about that.

[MAYBE HE CAN JUST. CHANGE THE SUBJECT. WITH AN ACTUAL IDEA???]

[whiteshroud]

[HEH]

I'm serious about it.

There are a lot of people who have problems that are supernatural in nature, so they can't ask normal people to help - but calling in the Black Order would be overkill. I think that's where we could fit in.

I should warn you though, my methods and jobs I'm willing to take don't always align with the typical moral codes of superheroes. I hope that won't be a problem.

[mstitel]

Oh, yeah. That shouldn’t be a problem at all. There’s a lot of different problems in the world and I’m not naive enough to think they can all be solved with a good attitude and positive thinking, don’t worry.

I can... elaborate on that offline, if you want. But I want to help. Both the people in the city who have no one else to turn to and the Duke- living here has been really nice, he shouldn’t have to worry so much about keeping it going.

[whiteshroud]

I see. I probably shouldn't say that's a relief to know, but...

[Well, it is]

Don't worry, I'm not in the business of prying into one's past unless it's necessary, so you don't have to elaborate. I just wanted to warn you, as Seal Knights have a creed to "do what must be done".

It tends to rub the heroic the wrong way.

[mstitel]

I can imagine.

[But...]

I'm not really worried about people knowing my past. I mean, everyone still alive in my world knows exactly who me and my siblings are and what we've had to do to keep the world from being destroyed.

But look, if someone's putting together some sort of protection squad that isn't... part of whatever was going on for you guys in August, I want to help.

Besides, if it's all to help the Duke out, I doubt I'm going to have any complaints.

[whiteshroud]

I see... sounds like that couldn't have been an easy job, trying to keep a whole world from being destroyed.

[In a way, that makes him relax- since he can relate. He simply didn't want to get chewed out for some of the more shady decisions he makes. Seal Knights were respected in his past life, but they were also feared for their ruthlessness]

In that case, we'd be happy to have your expertise onboard. Thanks James.

[actnormal]

Jun has a point

[mstitel]

Nope. Blocked. I'm blocking you.

[He says, not actually blocking anyone.]
