Dark Hero Lucius episode 001: Bad Hair day

[tensiongauge]

(Action, Stevens road)

[This morning, a very loud, very girlish scream could be heard coming from inside 2240 Stevens road this morning. To say Lucius was having a bad hair day would be an understatement. His tension gauge was gone, and any attempts to recreate the ahoge had failed. Horribly. Several more screams, followed by a burst of rage as he storms out of the bathroom.]

(Several minutes later...Phone)

[He had calmed down considerably from the initial shock... but that didn't change the fact that he was mad. It was rather comforting not seeing any sign of Rizelea and Flonne. ]

ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP. Okay, I don't know who was the prankster that decided to cut my hair.... but they better confess.... and FAST. The Dark Hero, Lucius, is not a force to be trifled with! I've brought down the worst of bosses, I've taken down all the Lurkers with my own two hands! What makes you think you'll steal my most prized possession and get away with it! This... this must be the work of the Demon Dog King! Clearly he sensed my rivaling presence, and sent out a barber to do his dirty work! He was so afraid of me he had to resort to draining my morale! No matter, this will make your defeat by my hands all the more satisfying! Your attempt at gaining the advantage has only sparked our rivalry further! Without that Valkyrie around cramping my style, victory will surely be mine!

Um, everything is taken away here, so... I'm sure it wasn't anything personal against you.

Of course I'm going to take it personally! How can I be on par with my rival if I don't have my stuff! They even took away my defining gimmick! You just don't do that to a man, no matter how evil he is!

[abravelikehero]

It's not gone forever though, I'll get it back in the mail! What is your gimmick anyway?

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

My tension gauge! Only the coolest hairstyle to ever grace a Dark Hero's head! Even cooler than flowing silvery hair!

[abravelikehero]

Tension gauge...? So they took your hair!? Wait Dark Hero? Are you a demon?

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

I am no demon... I am just a human with dreams of ruling the Netheruniverse with an iron fist!

They only took the part of my hair which was the most important.... the tension gauge itself...

1/2

[abravelikehero]

So... a villain? Isn't that kind of an Overlord?

That's pretty low, that must be an interesting part of your hair. I'm glad mine is fine.

2/2

[abravelikehero]

W-wait a minute! If you're a villain you can't call yourself a hero, even a dark hero!

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

There's a distinction between Dark Hero and Villain! Dark Hero sounds so much cooler, and I was a hero once!

[abravelikehero]

So you're a fallen hero! That still makes you a villain!

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

I guess... though I've been helping out the heroes as a playable character against my will...

[abravelikehero]

That... that doesn't help your case at all. To refer to yourself as a hero of any kind is an insult to all true heroes that have a heart of justice!

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

I so am a hero! A dark and evil one! an... anti-hero, I guess?

I made rice cakes with no evil intent in them once!

[abravelikehero]

That's not an anti-hero! You can't be a hero and evil, it just doesn't work like that. An anti hero is someone who means well but their way of doing it isn't quite considered the best, but isn't evil. You are simply a villain. Average even....

Not enough.

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

I'll... I'll show you! If my tension gauge were here it would be blinking with rage right about now!

[abravelikehero]

It's not my fault you're trying to pass yourself off as what you aren't! A hero is a hero, a villain is a villain. A hero can't also be a villain. Heroes must stand for truth and justice. They must defend and help those in need. They must protect all which is precious and stand by their friends. Villains go against all that.

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

Villains don't have honor! Dark Heroes do!

[abravelikehero]

That's an Anti Villain!

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

Isn't that a hero? Now you're just making things up.....

[abravelikehero]

No it's not! It's a villain that is honorable. Really these things are all written out on a very convenient website.

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

I don't believe things that are posted on the internet! Even if it is a reputable website which i will probably get sucked into like a black hole!

[abravelikehero]

And never ever leave.... Wait, what was I saying?

It's a consensual fact, you can't just change things because you feel like it and tap on new meanings to convenience yourself.

Had she not threatened me with being locked up, I would have gone down a much, much eviler path! Also, speaking of her, Rizelea is worse than I am! She's the one who threatens me with violence and everyone else with inhumanely spicy food!

[abravelikehero]

Shouldn't that be a good thing if she stopped you from being truly evil?

[ahogauge.livejournal.com]

It was out of fear of being brutally maimed! And having hotter hot sauce than the kind that comes in coffins poured into every opening!

But...maybe...I still like to think I'm way cooler than all those stereotypical heroes though!
