7TH ☄ s h o o t i n g s t a r ☄ v o i c e

My fellow Lucetizens! [She still thinks it's funny okay.] I'm sure it's been on everyone's minds since that last announcement, but just what kind of weaknesses do you think we're going to have to face? I mean, most of us have experience with some pretty terrible shifts back in that bad-end timeline, so I think we know what kind of things can be thrown at us. But how many people here can say they really understand their own weaknesses?

So I got to thinking! We all have a responsibility here to help those who want to go back home, right? So we should take this chance to work together and figure out our weaknesses together! I mean, I don't think it's very reasonable to expect all of us to just overcome our problems by ourselves in a few weeks. That's crazy, right? But if we all know what everyone else might expect, then we can work together to help support each other!

Like, say some guy is like super tormented by an evil slime monster in his past that killed his beloved pet hamster, Toodles. But on the other hand, we've got a guy who's a world-renown slime monster slayer! If those two worked together, then maybe Mr. Slimophobia can get some support in overcoming his fear of slime monsters! Or, you know, he'll at least know to stick by Mr. Slime-killer when the time comes so he'll have someone to help bail him out of trouble. [Flawless logic.]

So! Here's what we should do. We'll get everyone together and just... talk things out! Just drop your name here, and everyone who knows you will chime in with what they think your biggest weakness is! Then, other people can see that and offer help or support. Of course, I know a lot of people might not want to risk hurting their friends feelings by listing off their faults, so just go ahead and cover up the camera if you wanna stay anonymous.

[There's no way this can end badly, nope.]

And don't be scared to put yourself out there! Don't forget, this is for everyone's benefit, so it's totally a judgement-free zone!

If you don't put your name down, then... well, I guess that's probably your big weakness then, huh.

[Staaaaaaare.]

Are you telling me in your entire life you've never been good at anything? No skills? No accomplishments? No friends? No nothing?

I mean, come on, I probably spent the majority of my childhood sitting in front of a computer screen like a goddamn NEET, and even I can think of some good points I had back then!

[fabrecation]

[... Neet?] ... Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about, but...

Fighting, I guess? I've always been pretty good at that.

[magicalesbian]

Okay! That's more like it!

What kind of fighting? Have you ever rescued damsels or taken out a super villain? I mean, maybe nothing as grandiose as saving the world, but you don't have to go that far to be considered good at something!

[fabrecation]

Heh. [Okay, he's actually feeling a swell of pride now.] Different kinds of fighting! I'm better at fighting with the sword, but I'm not so bad with fists either!

And, uh... [And now the pride dies down a bit, as he rubs at his nose a little.] I kind of... did save the world? But only after I almost... [... Yeaaah no.]

[magicalesbian]

[Okay hold the fon.]

Wait, wait, wait! Back up! You actually saved the whole goddamn world? Like, seriously? I mean, this place is crawling with shounen characters, so it's not that outrageous, but... seriously!? And you said you couldn't think of anything good!?

[fabrecation]

Well, I mean... [Ugh no, don't make it out to be some kind of heroic feat when he was the one who nearly destroyed it in the first place, and he kind of died to put it back together again.] It's not like I was alone or anything...

[magicalesbian]

Oh, don't even try and downplay this one! Come on, most people live their whole lives without even making a difference in their world, let alone doing something to save it! Whether you did it alone or with the help of like hundreds of people, that's still a pretty big deal!

[This guy's self-esteem issues run deep, clearly.]

I mean, heck, I've been in the hero business for a while now, and I've never really done anything to save an entire world before!

[fabrecation]

H-Hey, you don't downplay yourself either! Hero stuff is really cool! It's not all about saving a world or anything like that...

[magicalesbian]

Oh, I can downplay myself all I want! Because at the end of the day, I know I'm awesome, and I know I've done a lot of good for a lot of people! [Which is something she'd only say as Hoshikyo, really, but that's besides the point here.]

But you can't even see yourself beyond your own insecurities! And that's a serious problem! I mean, do you think all those people you saved would want you being so down on yourself?

[explaining]

[THREADJACKING because hi is this an opportunity to brag about my not-child]

He's always been really good about treating everyone the same. He doesn't get hung up on social status or anything; it's very sincere and honest.

[magicalesbian]

[Yes good she was hoping Luke's mom would show up]

See, now that's the kind of stuff he should be focusing on!

[explaining]

I know, I know. He has a lot of trouble with it though, he needs a lot of verbal reassurance. He's very hard on himself.

He's also actually very kind. He feels a lot for people in need.

[magicalesbian]

Well I'm assuming he'd have to be if he's not lying about that whole "saved the world" business! That's not the kind of thing most people just do on a whim, you know?

[explaining]

Well, sometimes people can get swept up along with it. Besides, he put a lot of effort into saving the world; it's one thing to join up with someone who wants to save the world, and to be the person who insists on the saving.
