call me out v. 12.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

[Probably people just think they're chuuni.]

He and I are the same, so if you know him, you should know why already.

[no mikado makoto is too dumb for that]

[yes_im_kawaii]

'Cause... uh... he has the psychic computer thing and people are jerks? [She scratches her head.] That's not even your guys's fault, though.

[masterprogrammer]

Whoever's fault it is, we're fundamentally broken as people. It's natural to call yourself trash if you are trash.

[yes_im_kawaii]

No, it's not! Plenty of people are trash and don't do that! There were these twins who were total jerks all the time, always tried to make people mad and make them look stupid just to laugh at them, one pretended not to know what 2+2 was, the other one threw my lunch in the lake, any time you tried to insult them they pretended you were actually complimenting them, and they probably did lots worse!

[They did. They really, really did.]

And they thought they were the greatest, even when I tried to get my revenge. If actual trash people don't hate themselves, why do you?

[masterprogrammer]

I don't know, I'm sorry.

[He doesn't understand people. Even non-troll twin people.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Grr... I can't punch a supervillain I feel bad for! [She grumbles, ignoring the slowly growing crowd.] Why do you even wanna mess up the world, anyway?

[masterprogrammer]

People are always in conflict with each other, and everyone's unhappy. What I want is world peace.

[He's just going about it... badly.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Mind control isn't world peace! It just makes things worse. Trapping people isn't actually gonna improve them, everyone knows that.

[masterprogrammer]

If you have a better idea, I'll be happy to hear you out.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Why don't you leave them alone in the first place, though?

[masterprogrammer]

Isn't it important to help where you can...? My younger self and I aren't all that different.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Help, yeah, but... auuu. [glare] You know people can't be made perfect, right?

[masterprogrammer]

Is that a reason not to try...?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Duh. [She makes a face.] You and Enter. What's with evil computer guys and perfect? He wants to become human except perfect, which is stupid, 'cause there can't be a perfect human. You wanna brainwash humans and that's even stupider.

[masterprogrammer]

Nanashi and I are like computers after all.

[no]

If humans' imperfections are the reason for human conflict, then how else do you create a lasting peace?

[yes_im_kawaii]

No way! The reason for human conflict is sometimes people do stupid stuff, and that's why there's always people who come up and stop them. Imperfection is just that! Humans have it, computers have it, everyone has it. But it's not like it's a bad thing. Jin always says your weakness comes from the same place as your strength.

[It's like they're standing on that street again, even if the people aren't frozen in one place like they were in the dream and are probably about to ask them to leave because the crowd they're gathering is blocking the sidewalk.]

Being imperfect isn't something you can stop. Even if everyone has a weakness, it's not like that's the only thing they have. Being imperfect is the power we have because we're alive!

[masterprogrammer]

[Somebody is definitely going to ask them to leave because they are making a scene.]

What strength can come from imperfection...? Even if that's the natural state of humanity, I can't imagine strength and weakness coming from the same source.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Obvious, stupid. Strength and weakness are always from the same thing, right? Like this one TV program I watched once where the guy was talking about how people always get mad at whatever party they voted in in politics because what they thought would help them save money just made more potholes. Although that's also just because people are stupid. I'd never do that. But that's not the point! A world where stuff is all perfect is boring and nothing happens, right?

[masterprogrammer]

[...???]

If you say so.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Hmph. Well --

[It's at that point that the nearby store owner cuts through the crowd.] Excuse me, could you please go elsewhere? You're disturbing people and the crowd you're gathering is blocking the way.

Auu! He's the one you should be lecturing. I'm saving the world!

[And yet Makoto turns to go, though not before grabbing onto Mikado's sleeve to tug him through the crowd.]

Ungrateful. Auu. Anyway, what do you mean, if I say so? What do you say?

[masterprogrammer]

Very sorry, we'll leave.

[He's already being tugged along while he's apologizing to the store opener.]

I mean that you must know better than garbage like me, of course.

[yes_im_kawaii]

[She pouts.] Why do you even hate yourself, anyway? It's not because you're a supervillain, since nice you hates himself, too.

[masterprogrammer]

That's just what's natural for us.

[It really, really is not, but they're both too messed up to realize it.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

That sounds made up. What, did people make fun of you when you were a kid and then you just believed it?

[masterprogrammer]

Well, yes, but that wasn't the only reason.
