[Don't question why this dipshit is doing this video outside with a mudbray leaning against his side and... well, at least the krabby is still on his shoulder and a crabrawler is sitting on the other shoulder looking quite pleased with herself.]

Right, so an interesting question came up in a conversation with one of the people I'm travelling with.

This place is quite odd as it is, as are these creatures, I know back home that horses were the primary mode of transportation. Whether by riding, carts, caravans, etc. In this place, is that still the case or are some other creatures used for those types of tasks...?

[He's shifting the camera to look at the mudbray who looks a little surprised to have the camera at her and is immediately bucking back with a loud little whinny. Lovely.]

Clearly she isn't much yet, but according to the guide on these creatures, she'll somehow turn into a draft horse...? Weird, but clearly knights and draft horses are quite one in the same in how they operate. But yes, if you happen to know any other creatures suitable for riding, please do let me know.

[ Yuuup, as soon as 'villain' comes out of Fitz' mouth, Kirishima goes from bright and opening his mouth for questions to wilting into a betrayed sort of confusion. 'Villain' definitely means something particular where he's from - as in supervillain. ]

W- Well what does it mean to you, then? You went to school to be a villain?!

[ Okay, he's willing to listen, but he definitely looks guarded. ]

[Oh boy, he really is learning that this whole system is kind of messed up to literally everyone else who hears the word, right.]

Okay. So where I'm from there's a hero and villain system of sorts, where kingdoms will have their own hero or villain, usually of the former. They pretty much protect things on top of tourism and attracting attention. Usually this includes villains coming around to "ruin" things, but there's a code in place of what can and cannot be done both from heroes and villains. So it's... more of an act sort of thing. And it really depends on what your magic, looks, that kind of thing tends to lend towards.

Like one of my friends here was a necromancer back home and despite being one of the nicest people on this planet, was considered a villain because, you know, raising the dead and what-not. Same thing in my case, though simply because using thunder magic and being as big and imposing looking as I am physically, that's how it works out.

[It sounds so stupid when he explains it.]

There's really a whole system around it and it has absolutely nothing to do with someone's moral code. There's been cases of heroes being unable to be them anymore because they did awful things against the code.

[Whoof, give him a sec to catch his breath.]

While I might be classified as such, I have absolutely no intentions of, say, harming people or destroying things.

Oh, could you mean like... a mascot?

There are places where I'm from like cities, businesses, and theme parks that have characters represent them, but they're just actors if they even actually exist off paper...

[ He'd explain more about how the heroes in his world more or less have to merchandise to stay popular, but maybe in due time. He's more concerned with clarifying what the crab-keeper here is saying.

There's a head-rearing double-take at that oh-so casual 'raising the dead' bit. And then there's a pair of red eyes scanning over where Fitzroy must be in relation to the camera because physically imposing where, bro? At least he's already looking furrow-browed and confused enough as it is to not give that particular thought away. Kirishima doesn't actually want to be rude.

He's frowning, but he definitely relaxes a good deal when it's explicit that Fitzroy doesn't harm people, or at least so he says. ]

Especially since you're not in your world anymore... You don't have to be anything you don't want to.

It sounds like you're saying you get judged on your looks and your Quir- your abilities. Who decides who looks like a villain and who doesn't?
