The population seems to have suddenly increased recently, and I do not mean of the locals. [There's a hint of curiosity as well as slight concern in his voice when that's said. It looks to him that these Gods are getting more outside help and he almost has to wonder if it's really justifiable to bring in more people for their assumed cause. He understands the whole "strength in numbers" approach but when more than half of them don't understand what it is they need to do, it's just a little frustrating.]

Though it's rather pointless, I apologize for those of you that are new and expecting explanations on how to return home from those of us that have been here longer. The only real key to that seems to be our task of returning color and life to this world. The first wave of newcomers may only offer so many answers, though at least this might make it a little easier for a larger group approach at understanding our situation better.

But, I have a question, for anyone that is willing to answer it. It's hardly mandatory. We've all basically been assigned as "heroes" of this land, to assist the Gods and locals in a troubled and difficult time. If you were actually given the choice to say yes or no to their plea, what would be your response? [Just before he's about to end his question there, he decides to tack on a little something extra.] --not just in this case. Would you ever choose to be some kind of hero?

[The old-fashioned view point. He's experienced this with Kotetsu but it should be interesting to hear it from someone else.]

I'm afraid the view of a hero is different between worlds and people. Some find it to be an accepted chance to do right or as you mentioned, a grand title, while others see it as more of a nuisance or a burden.

A man's fate will always find him - but we can chose to deny it and turn it into a burden, or make the most out of it.

I can't exactly debate such a fact, though most find it difficult to see things in such a way. I'm not sure how many people here believe in such a thing as fate.

Even they don't believe in fate, they are already here. The only way to go is forward.

Very true. The main question then is what exactly we're all moving toward in the end and how long it will take, though I think most would be more concerned with the issue time-wise.

Right now, the first step would be completing the task we've been given.

[ A small pause. ]

Many were doing important things back at home. I understand their urgency.

I do as well... the most we can all do is merely have some patience, though that is certainly easier said than done for some.
