[so maybe you're just browsing the network, minding your own business, when a new message pops on the screen. let's see, nothing out of the ordina--

what is that. no, really, Angel doesn't show himself on the network that often, so either you've seen him around, or you haven't. for those who haven't, he's a very tall, lanky, spidery-looking dude, with pink fur and pointy teeth and strange eyes. he has two (visible) sets of arms, and legs, on top of that! yeah, he's a real piece of work, this one. fortunately, he's not here to bother you about magic. he's here to bother you about other things]

Sup b- er. Pirates!

The name's Angel, an' I got a little survey thingie I'm conductin'. Like, the most informal survey ever, okay? Lemme tell ya, I've been here a little while, an' it amazes me when I hear about other worlds different from my own. It's incredible, like, a lotta you go through stuff I couldn't even imagine.

My question is, out of all the people you've talked to, which world do ya wanna visit the most?

I'll go first! [as cool as Angel usually is, it's obvious he's passionate about what he has to say] This kid told me about a world with little animals or monsters, or whatever, that are called Pokémon! There are a whole bunch of different species, an' I wanna meet 'em all! [wait. he calms himself] ...They don't have cats or dogs, but there are Pokémon for those, I guess. Sounds fun, right?

So, what about you, huh? Lemme know about other worlds you've heard about while bein' here. Or tell me about your worlds. I just wanna see if anythin' beats Kieran's Pokémon-world.

Comments

Quite a few. [ Hawks chuckles lightly. ] Including not using quirks in public without a license.

Thing is, not everyone agrees they want to follow the rules and they take it out on whoever they can get their hands on, uninvolved civilians.

[angellust]

[ohhh... yeah, that's not great. Angel doesn't know if he's surprised by this fact, but it does sound wild]

That sucks. The, uh. Attacking civilians part. Like, I can understand not wantin' t'follow rules, an' shit. But...! I dunno. That's a low even I ain't gonna cross.

[velocityraptor]

Hey I get it, I bend the rules I can get away with myself, but yeah. The attacking innocent people is not great and so they have to be stopped from doing that, regardless of why they're doing it.

[ He's sympathetic to villains in need - but not if they start hurting people. ]

[angellust]

[a nod, to show he understands]

Does bein' a hero like that ever put ya in a tough spot?

[velocityraptor]

[ Hawks hums. ]

It can. I've got a strong quirk with a lot of advantages, but not everything goes my way. I have some pretty significant weaknesses. Frankly, I probably would've done best with a focus on rescue, that's my real strength, but it's not usually showy enough to please my handlers. I wouldn't be ranked as high.

[angellust]

[showy enough? handlers? Angel opens his mouth, then closes it again, thinking for a moment, before he finally shrugs]

I guess ya can't please everyone. Even with those awesome wings.

[velocityraptor]

Nah, guess you can't. [ He's used to everyone being displeased with him. ]

Glad you like 'em. They're pretty flashy on their own. Not many people have wings, let alone wings like mine.

[angellust]

[he's not displeased with Hawks, per se. it's more the world that he's from]

I do like 'em! I've seen other demons with wings, an' some angels, too. But none really look like yers.

[velocityraptor]

They're pretty unique in my world too, especially with how my quirk works. I'm kind of lucky that way, it's definitely a quirk built for heroics.

[angellust]

Haha! Y'think you could show me some flyin' tricks some time? Or... would that not be allowed?

[velocityraptor]

Sure, I'd love to. I'm a bit of a show off at heart. That, and I think everyone should get the chance to fly if they can!

[ He's biased. ]

[angellust]

[well, good. show-offs gotta stick together, or something!]

Agreed! If I see ya around, I'll come bother you.

[velocityraptor]

Please do! I'll look forward to it!

[ In some contexts, Hawks does love attention. On his terms, anyway. ]
