Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

All I have found so far is that I didn't gain super strength. It's a disappointment.

[She'd have liked to have more strength, alas]

I still haven't figured out how 'determination' can help here. I'm not unfailingly determined in the first place.

[sweetsynergy]

[Vanity thinks for a second, over the new information presented by her sudden mimicry.]

Maybe "determination" as in determining- I don't know, truth? Answers? If these titles are all fucking wordplay.

[cannotunravel]

...that could actually be accurate. It would fit with my training.

[It sure would be wordplay, and therefore it seems likely. Kind of frustrating, that the wordplay is the biggest evidence, but whatever!

Still, Misane huffs, and murmurs:]

Whoever set the titles really could have afforded to be more straightforward.

[sweetsynergy]

Ugh, marketing guys.

[This is why just monopolizing the market is the go-to move, you don't need to bother with clever ads when customers don't actually have a choice.]

They could have, but then we wouldn't get to figure out the joke and see how clever they are.

[cannotunravel]

[Misane looks down at th etable, eyes narrowed. In her head she's thinking of all the titles.

And, slowly, her face takes a very obvious frown]

I'm not impressed.

[sweetsynergy]

That's generally the correct response, yes.

[cannotunravel]

They should have allowed us to make our own titles. I'd have named myself something like...

[Misane pauses, unsure what to even say. Even though she was saying this, she hadn't thought of a name]

...the Violet Ranger.

[Okay, maybe it's good someone named her the Goddess of Determination]

[sweetsynergy]

[Turning that over in her head for a moment.]

...Like the Toei Security Forces?

[cannotunravel]

That depends. Do they wear suits and helmets of a color, and make poses?

[It's a nice thing that in her world in the year 2231 sentai shows still exist]

[sweetsynergy]

That's them. Bunch of guys in specialized combat armor.

[It definitely skirts a lot of laws that Vanity's creation outright broke, or so the rumors go, but nothing's been proven. Technically.]

They put out all kinds of programming and video about them. Total propaganda, but I have to admit it's pretty entertaining.

[cannotunravel]

I'm glad where I'm from they're not propaganda at all. I'd be disappointed if it turned out they are.

[They better not be, at least! She wouldn't know for sure!]

[sweetsynergy]

So to be clear, there's a Toei corporation in your world as well? That's a strange point of commonality.

[cannotunravel]

I think there is. It's strange -- I don't think they're some sort of security corporation, they're just creators of shows. Or something like that.

Maybe it's some...universal constant.

[Of all things, Toei might be the universal constant]

[sweetsynergy]

Oh, Toei is a communications company. The security forces protect their own assets, they don't get hired out as protection.
