...Do you ever feel like you're not strong enough?

Especially for you guys who don't have any magic, or whose powers aren't useful to fight. After Mr. Demon King of the Toilet Bowl had his tantrum a while back, I've been kind of worried.

There was some clattering, some fumbling, some dropping of the video phone... and eventually a smiling girl came into focus. The ambient light around her was very dim but the screen's glow as well as the inner glow of her green eyes illuminated her face well enough.

After a moment... "Is... It working? Yay! I got it to work!" her smile got bigger. "Hello miss. You have a very very sad face right now. Please smile. You would look much nicer with a smile." It had nothing to do with her question, but the little satori seemed sincere.

[ifbymyhands]

Huh? [Kano blinks. She hesitates before stretching her face with her hands into a goofy smile.] Maybe like this?

[koishi_komeiji]

The girl laughs a bit, brushing some of the hair out of her face. "You're silly Miss! Even I can tell that's not a real smile without reading you. Why are you so frowny?" This girl was either very young or very strange. It was hard to tell.

[ifbymyhands]

[Kano is, thankfully, also very strange. She puts her hands down and shrugs, shaking her head.]

I can't fight like other people can. I usually just tease my enemies and make fun of them, but I don't know if it always works.

I think strength comes in all forms, to those who have power and to those who dont alike.

[She smiled- feeling worried for the girl.]

It's stupid, I know, but it's a thing I worry about sometimes.

[video]

[caelum_melody]

Hardly stupid....

[Haruka just smiled kindly]

That means your brave in my eyes...

[Chihiro can't help but understand what she says fully as it's exactly how he feels a good portion of the time.]

I always feel like this, but... I do now try and do something about it. A-After all that's the first step.

[ifbymyhands]

Like what? Is someone handing out super strength?

[shslprogrammer]

[Given the fact he's been given something that does enhance his strength, he felt like he should answer, but at the same time he wasn't sure if he was suppose to or not. So instead he shakes his head slightly.]

N-No! Nothing like that. Its more training, like those people you see on tv. You know those fighting montages.

[ifbymyhands]

That might work, but...

Most of the time you're better off being weak. It's the last thing you should be worrying about.

[video]

[ifbymyhands]

How do you figure something like that?

[melonsaregreat]

How do you think people end up strong?

[video]

[ifbymyhands]

Training montages off sports movies?

I don't particularly like fighting. Though I'm concerned if this continues... I might not have a choice.

[ifbymyhands]

I want to hope he and people like him aren't gonna act up again, but I doubt it.

[audio]

[reedfate]

In my experience, people like him don't behave themselves for very long.

[ifbymyhands]

Are you some kind of hero guy?

[Jeb looks up at the video screen slowly, his face solemn]

Yes, always. I know I'm not strong enough...

[video]

[ifbymyhands]

Because of Demon-kun?

[video]

[dreamingartist]

No, I've always known. Ever since I discovered my powers back home...

[video]

[tessenjounin]

From someone who has powers, I assure you, the destructive power of that demon was still daunting.

[video]

[ifbymyhands]

At least powers and weapons can do something.

Civilians can help too. You can help in evacuating people and help people get medical attention. You can do your best in providing non-offensive support.

Don't put yourself down too much. Civilians are just as necessary as power users.
