[ video ] hey guys let's do a joint... post /cough

[baanichan]

 [ The feed clicks on, to reveal one young blonde and a man at the point of 'midlife crisis averted' with a peculiarly-designed goatee. The blonde speaks first, as he adjusts his glasses. ]

Hello, this is Barnaby again, and my partner Kotetsu. Apparently there are very few people from Sternbild here, and many of you have been asking questions about-

[ The elder, darker-haired male rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He's used to Barnaby's formal speech, but is no less annoyed by it. ]
    
Oi, Bunny. We're not on TV, ya know! No need to be so formal! And besides ~ If you're going to introduce us, then do it properly!
    
[ Kotetsu grins and waves a hand at the screen. He's practised and rehearsed this at least a million times. ]
    
Yo! We're Tiger and Bunny and we're the super cool and badass Hero duo from HeroTV! 

[ It's Barnaby's turn to roll his eyes. ]
    
Nobody knows what HeroTV is! I didn't write that!

Isn't that part of what we're going to tell them, though?

[ Barnaby reaches over off-camera, and picks up what appears to be a few pages- a goddamned script, of all things.

Kotetsu scowls and scratches his beard. His frown deepens at the sight of the script and he rolls his eyes. Yes, he read the script, but he's not very impressed with it or even the mere idea of having to follow it. Kotetsu has trouble listening to direct orders, Barnaby, you should know that... ]

Did you even read the script?  And don't tell them to call me Bunny!

[ The last part of that is a hiss. Kotetsu rolls his eyes again and raises his hands to make mock-bunny ears. ]
    
"And don't tell them to call me Bunny!"

[ Barnaby rolls up the script and gives Kotetsu's head a good smack, who yelps and cradles his head, throwing Barnaby a little glare while he grumbles under his breath.  ]

O-Oi ... ! Keh ...

[ He rolls his eyes, and looks towards the camera, sighing when he realizes that they never stopped recording. He's just... going to give up on... Yeah, they might as well abandon the script. ]
    
Anyway, since a lot of people were asking us what makes us Heroes, or asking about HeroTV, we've decided to open up the floor to answer questions together.

[ Kotetsu perks back up when Barnaby resumes the recording, nodding once more with a grin. ]
    
So ask away! Just no real personal questions!
    
Tiger and Bunny, over and out ~ !
    
[ Waves as he reaches over Bunny and presses the 'stop' button. The feed shuts off with a click. ]

[[ Yukari: So, guys, it's pretty self-explanatory- if you were giving these guys a hard time for calling themselves Heroes in their intro posts -/stares at tony stark- go ahead and ask them stuff about it! Kotetsu and Barnaby will be answering at their discretion, and threadjacking each other as they see fit. ~

PS: Ichigo Kurosaki is not allowed to ask Barnaby why he stole his voice. :> ]]

[He has a different question.]

You are acquainted with Judge Petrov, I take it?

[Yes, he has spoken to the good judge a few times.]

[baanichan]

Yes, of course. In fact, Judge Petrov is the one who usually decides on the damages that Kotetsu has to pay.

[ He snickers slightly. They call Wild Tiger the "Crusher for Justice" for a reason, after all. ]

[compressed]

If you're heroes, but you say that you're from HeroTV... It doesn't really sound real. [Unless that was the point, but.]

Re: [ video ]

[paysdamages]

Ah, but it is real!

[ Scratches the back of his head. How does he go about explaining this properly, hmm ... ]

HeroTV is a network on TV that employs real live Heroes like Bunny and I to protect Sternbild. We get paid for our herowork, but the criminals we catch and the people we save are all real!

We just ... happen to be on TV while we're doing all that stuff ...

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

By hero you mean ... 'superhero'? So Tiger and Bunny are ... codenames, right?

So what's HeroTV?

[baanichan]

[ sdhfklsjhdfkjshdflkjhasdf He really wants to kick Kotetsu out of the Q&A now. Thanks a lot, Oji-san. ]

No, I don't have a codename. I go by my real name, and Kotetsu goes by Wild Tiger.

[baanichan]

[ Here's a glasses-push for your trouble, Conan. Prepare for incoming VERY LONG EXPLANATION. ]

HeroTV documents our work as Heroes. If a major crime is happening somewhere in Sternbild, we're summoned using bracelets very similar to Asgard's, and we prepare to go live on the air. We fight crime, and earn points that go towards the King of Heroes competition.

[ Barnaby nods a little, apparently assuming that's a totally digestible chunk of info. ]

[volcanoes]

...Tiger and Bunny?

Re: video

[paysdamages]

Code names! Well, "Tiger" is my codename. Short for Wild Tiger!

[ Nervous little chuckle as he scratches the back of his head. ]

Barnaby actually doesn't have a codename. "Bunny", however, is a nickname I gave him.

I ... wouldn't advise you to call him that, though. He really ONLY tolerates it when I call him that. I don't want to be responsible for any injury...

[whatagoodgirl]

There's a whole TV channel dedicated to superheroes?

[baanichan]

No, just a TV show.

[ Why is this so hard to understand? Sheesh. ]

[video]

[charming_jerk]

What kinda heroes are called "Tiger" 'n' "Bunny"? Ya sound more like cartoon characters or somethin'.

[video]

[baanichan]

[ Bunny groans. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DIDN'T WANT GOD DAMMIT KOTETSU ]

My name is not Bunny! Even as a Hero, I go by Barnaby Brooks Jr. [ He jabs a thumb at Kotetsu. ]

He goes by Wild Tiger.

voice.

[bloodyperky]

Well, from my perspective, it sounds something like a children's show.

But it's not, is it?

video

[baanichan]

[ He nods. ]

Actually, the show's current producer has been able to up the show's ante considerably since she started, it would seem. By the time I started, even, she managed to make it an exciting show. One of the other Heroes said she once saw men in a bar putting bets on us, even.

Even the fans who would come up to me on the street were pretty varied in age, so I'd say HeroTV definitely catches the attention of many age groups.

[patronizing]

Tiger and Bunny? Heh. Let me guess, the blonde one is Tiger and the old man is Bunny. [ nope, it’s the other way around but WHO CARES. not her. ]

video; oh noooooo it's the girl ichigo calls 'rukia but worse'

[baanichan]

[ So much pokerface. ]

Actually, he's Wild Tiger, and my name is not Bunny.

[ Yep. Pokerface. ]

video.

[repulsors]

Bunny, huh? [ Sounds like some kind of kink thing. Guess what your new name is. ] So, I take it that this is that "partner" you were talking about?

...nice beard. [ Yeah, he can appreciate. ]

So, uh. Tell me about HeroTV, then. What it is, what you guys do, exactly. Because I'm still a little unclear.


[ooc; HEY TONY IS A JERK OKAY he just wants to understand also oh my god laksdfaje this is the cutest post you guys ]

1/2 [video] oh god tony will be to bunny what ezio is to ichigo

[baanichan]

[ sljdhflsadfkjhsafh NOT YOU TOO GOD DAMMIT THIS IS ALL THE OLD MAN'S FAULT ]

It's Barnaby. And yes, this is Kotetsu.

[phantom_thief_freyr]

What sort of heroes are you? Are you just regular heroes or super heroes? Because Freyr is a hero too.

Re: Video

[paysdamages]

We're what we call NEXT. NEXT are humans that are born with super powers.
For instance, Bunny and I both have the same power, which is called Hundred Power.

It allows us to increase all of our physical abilities by 100% for five minutes.

[ Though Kotetsu's power has been declining. Not like he's really going to mention that, though. ]

Strangely, we can't use our powers here, though. We were given different powers when we came here, obviously...

[1864]

HeroTV? That sounds like a bad reality show.

[ But an amusing one, if their video post was any example. ]

[paysdamages]

Aha ... don't say that to our producer. Agnes has actually been able to make it an even more exciting show than it was before!

[not here, but]

[suppressthedark]

[OH COME THE HELL ON HE WAS DRUNK WHEN HE SAID THAT]

Re: [not here, but]

[baanichan]

[ Barnaby looks up when he hears frustrated grumbling from next door. He gets up and starts to head toward the bathroom, leaving Kotetsu behind; yeah, he's already annoyed enough at his partner. DAMMIT YOU JUST HAD TO SAY 'BUNNY' ON THE NETWORK UGH.

He starts to poke his head through the door on the other side of the bathro-

... What. ]

Aren't you... [ Oh, he knows it's him. He's just not sure he's willing to believe they're ACTUALLY SUITEMATES. ]

[mybffmrhat]

Are you guys a comedy duo? [She laughs.] Because you're really good!

[paysdamages]

Haha, well thank you ~ !
We aren't a comedy duo, though, unfortunately. Bunny and I just like to argue!

[ Laughs a little and scratches the back of his head. ]

[video]

[trinitylimit]

You're heroes too? Who trained you?

Re: [video]

[paysdamages]

[ Blinks and chuckles a little. ]

My partner, Bunny, went to the Hero Academy when he was younger, if that's what you mean.
Other than that, our job requires us to train daily in HeroTV's gym.

[judgmental]

Of course, as curator, I need ask you no questions about yourselves or Hero TV.

But I do wonder what you intend to do here, as Heroes.

[He's smiling, but inwardly JUDGING.]

[baanichan]

[ Barnaby blinks. He'd honestly forgotten Judge Petrov was here, actually... Welp. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR HAVING A CREEPY FATHER FIGURE, BUNNY. ]

Judge Petrov...?

[madamemoiselle]

[Diva's attention is at first drawn by two good-looking guys, and then further by how... entertaining they are, to say the least. She responds at first with polite laughter and even a little bit of amused applause]

Ah, Tiger and Bunny, really? Those are really cute names!

But I have a question—What kind of things do heroes do? I don't think there's anything like you where I come from!

Re: video;

[baanichan]

My name. Is not. Bunny. It's Barnaby.

[holyfight]

Kurosa--

...

Oh. I'm sorry! You sound just like a friend of mine!

[you didn't say Hime couldn't say anything!]

You're heroes? What's that mean?

[baanichan]

[ you are very right, hime. and now barnaby's adjusting his glasses. and looking through the rosters. ]

Kurosa... Kurosaki Ichigo. So that's his name then.
