[ A deep sigh ]

Let's save the hustling for when you can actually disappear and not get caught.

[ NOT ... OPPOSED TO IT THOUGH .. LMFAO ]

[everydayhero]

... [c:]

Have I told you that you're the best? Because you're the best.

[ino]

[ Can't ... help but smile a little. Because she is a huge sucker for compliments. EVEN THOUGH SHE IS STARTING TO SEE WHAT TADASHI WAS TALKING ABOUT. ]

You might even be able to learn transformation jutsu, too ...

[everydayhero]

[It's a good thing you actually love Hiro so much, Ino, because he's going to need so much forgiveness over time.]

You're kidding.

[ino]

Yeah! That'd totally be handy.

[ She'll demonstrate -- with a little 'poof' and a cloud, there's another you now sitting across from you, Hiro ]

See?

[everydayhero]

[... ... ...]

Is the gap in my teeth really that bad?

[KINDA... COVERING HIS MOUTH A LITTLE]

[ino]

[ COVERS HER (HIS?) MOUTH ... TRYING NOT TO LAUGH ... ]

I'm sorry. It's an exact replica, I can't really "edit" it, so to speak.

[ She's even got the voice down, though it probably sounds weird coming from .. not .. himself ]

[everydayhero]

... This is really weird.

[HE'S MAKING SUCH A FACE]

[ino]

[ She'll poof back to her normal self! And laugh a little. Poor kid ]

It's mostly used as a distraction technique at home, but it can be useful for blending in to crowds or other things like that.

[everydayhero]

[finally moving his hand away from his mouth at least]

I can see where it'd be useful. Definitely if you're gambling high-stakes.

[ino]

[ ... ]

How high stakes are we talking, here?

[everydayhero]

... Well, that time Tadashi and I got arrested? We might have been evading an angry mob.

[ino]

[ Just ... this icon. 100% this icon. ]

Troublemaker is right.

[everydayhero]

I'm not a troublemaker! He offered to take me to another bot fight after that, you know.

[ino]

You absolutely are.

Who, Tadashi? [ But he seems like such a goody two-shoes. Also, is nobody watching these boys? Good lord. ]

[everydayhero]

Yes, Tadashi. It was right after we got home from jail, too.

[ino]

[ Leans in, looking suspicious ]

He doesn't seem like the type.

[everydayhero]

I swear, he did. Told me if I was gonna go anyway, he was gonna take me.

[ino]

[ ... Well, that seems more acceptable. But -- ]

You say it like you were going alone to these things before.

[everydayhero]

... Hey, he knew I was going.

[ino]

Hiro ...

[ Covers her face with her hands. CHILD. YOU WORRY HER SO MUCH. ]

[everydayhero]

[just. this face.]

[ino]

Just ... please don't do that type of stuff here, at least not alone. You never know what type of person you'll piss off.

[everydayhero]

Hey, I've... barely done anything illegal here by myself.

[rubbing the back of his neck, oh look, more physical habits he picked up from tadashi]

I'm smart enough to bring you or Tim along.

[ino]

[ Well, at least there's that. It does seem to get rid of a lot of her concern ]

That's all I ask.
