Today has been the best day.

[He's too excited to introduce himself properly in his first communication through the network, which he should have done since so many people he has met so far was during the language barrier. And even if there hadn't been translation issues, they might not even recognize him with all this glorious, glorious hair that he can't stop touching as he's talking.]

I got bit by a bug and suddenly felt something on my head and look! It's all back! [Ruffles his own hair.] Has anyone else been bitten and gotten such good luck??

[He brushes back his hair, trying to mimic what he's seen in shows and movies over the years, but not quite achieving it, and he says in a more serious tone:]

There's something else that I'm actually making this post for. [Lies. He wanted to brag about his hair even though literally no one else would give a crap.] Sparring. I need to get in a few friendly fights before this ends, since there are no monsters here to fight. Give me a time and place and I'll meet you there.


((OOC: If you want to do the sparring, here's his thread on the log!))

[Law himself had just today recovered from his own bug bite, so he is of course 100% ready to slam down some facts.]

They're creatures that travel through time, it seems like their bites can move people along their own timelines temporarily.
[He pauses before deciding he might as well ask;]

Why do you need to fight before your revert to normal?

[heroforhobby]

Yeah, I know that, this is me from a few years ago. But I remember everything up to now. Good luck, right?

[Look, it's logical to him.]

To feel the thrill of a good fight again.

[He smirks.]

If you have a problem with being bald, just wear a hat!

[You know, if you lose that fine nest of hair or whatever. But he's going past that, waving a hand with one hell of a wild grin on his face.]

But if it's a fight you want, I can give it to you. I'll do my best to hold back a bit for you, though.

[What a wild grin.]

Oh, so you went back to your youth~? Good on you, pal. That's gonna be a fun vacation. Just make sure not to get bitten again ♪!

[heroforhobby]

[Usually he doesn't remember people so well, but he does this guy and his face goes a bit line-facey at sight of him!!]

Ah. Spring guy. What happens if you get bitten twice?

[perma_banned]

Well~.

I went from being a kid to being an adult. It could end up pretty bad, I think. You could turn into a super-geezer or something! Somebody wicked old or even a baby, though...

It's lucky everyone's turned into something with a good amount of years on 'em. It'd be hell to be a baby at a time like this, right?

[heroforhobby]

I'm not a hat person.

[With how beat up / incinerated his clothing tends to get, he can only imagine how long a hat would last. Like 2.6 seconds.]

Don't--

[He almost says "don't hold back" but he can't be so confident in this body, now could he?]

Don't hold back too much.

[There, that was the smart way to say that. Yup.]

[heroforhobby]

Ah. Thought you were gonna tell me people were exploding or something.

[Still, he might want to avoid being bit again then...he doesn't know what his future holds for him, but he doesn't much want to risk getting older and seeing how much more dead inside he feels. Whoah, this got depressing.]

[perma_banned]

Explo--

[Ban thought about it.

If it happened, it wasn't like he'd know about it or see too much evidence. Unless they just exploded without it being fiery. Fiery explosions could probably burn things up. Right? He had to think on it.]

...Have you seen that kinda thing happen?

[nishishi]

Hey, if you turn out to be tough, I promise I won't hold back at all, you'll see!

[Both hands are brought forward, and he gives the palm of his hand a punch with his other fist.

He doesn't look at all impressive, but Saitama of all people should know that people shouldn't be judged on how they appear.]

[heroforhobby]

Deal.

[Saitama is definitely not going to underestimate him. Especially if someone speaks so confidently.]

Meet you out at the forest, that should be clear enough for a good fight.

((You can action here or hit up the log, whatever you prefer!))

[heroforhobby]

Wha--Just to bugs, when I hit them real hard. You're the one that's been seeing people bit more than once, you should tell ME if they're exploding!

[kikoku]

...
[Law, being more intellectually inclined, doesn't really understand the appeal, but he can deduce what this means.]

There's something preventing you from doing that when you're older?

[heroforhobby]

It just isn't near as fun.

[Nice and vague for ya, here.]

[perma_banned]

[Well. Maybe it WAS boring that people weren't exploding.]

I haven't seen anything like that~. Mostly just them disappearing and reappearing younger or older.

[heroforhobby]

Don't sound disappointed that no one is exploding...

[Saitama can relate with boredom, but come on now.]

[ he's kind of squinting into his jewelry—as a newbie, he's only used it once or twice so far, and it still weirds him out. why did it have to be jewelry, anyway? he's still full of questions.

here's one of them. ]

Wait, one of those things bit you and you just... grew hair? That's it? Not saying that's not... uh, neat or whatever, but is that really all it did to you?

[heroforhobby]

Oh, no, I think I'm also about, uh, three or four years younger?

[moneyman]

[ ...oh. oh. that... explains so much of what he's seen lately. and yet he still has 9,000 questions. ]

What? You went back in time? Are you, like... are you stuck that way now?

[heroforhobby]

Hell if I know! It'd be sweet if I could keep the hair, though.

[perma_banned]

That's just how I talk. Just like how you talk like everything is inconveniencing you~.

[Admittedly, he was a little disappointed.]

[heroforhobby]

Is that how I sound?

[moneyman]

[ okay, this is mysterious, because this dude doesn't look even remotely old enough to start balding. what the hell. ]

What, uh... what happened to your hair in the present?

[heroforhobby]

[He hesitates to say, as if this were a hard topic to talk about, and it sort of is!!]

It all fell out one day.

[moneyman]

[ holy shit. that is horrifying. ]

What? Just... all of it at once? Out of nowhere?

[perma_banned]

Well, that is how most people talk to me. [A grin.]

[heroforhobby]

Ah, sounds like you have a hearing problem, then.

[He points out, helpfully.]

[heroforhobby]

Well, I had been losing it in small patches here or there before it, but, yeah, pretty much.

[moneyman]

Wow. That... really sucks. Sorry, man. And it won't grow back?

[ he's going to have nightmares about all his hair falling out now. ]

[heroforhobby]

[Said in the dead voice of a man without any hope left:]

I have tried everything under the sun to get it back.

[If he wanted even more horrifying nightmares, he should ask if he has any hair anywhere on his body. The answer will he terrible.]

[perma_banned]

My ears work wonderfully~. You're sayin' you don't feel inconvenienced?

[heroforhobby]

Right now? Not at all, I feel pretty good.

[Haven't you been paying attention, he has his hair back!]

[kikoku]

What's fun about getting beat up in the first place?
[Thats a weird way to phrase it.]

[heroforhobby]

Haven't you ever experienced the heat-thumping, blood-pumping, adrenaline-rushing of a good fight?

[Well, he WAS talking to a kid, so maybe not. But you never know with kids these days.]

[moneyman]

Geez...

[ come on, come on, think of something supportive to say...! ]

—Wait, hey, we get sent to other worlds to do stuff, right? We're bound to end up somewhere that has a cure one of these days.

[ you know. maybe. ]

[heroforhobby]

[Does Saitama dare to look hopeful?]

Do you really think so?? I can't travel to other worlds or dimensions back home, so I never thought of that possibility!

[perma_banned]

[Ban blinked, tilting his head.]

You gotta sound a little more enthusiastic, then...

[heroforhobby]

Why?

[simple enough question, 'coz seriously why?]

[perma_banned]

'Cause there ain't any point to being happy if you aren't throwing it in peoples' faces!

[Spite was always a good reason.]

[moneyman]

Sure, why not? If I see anything, I'll let you know.

...Uhh, have you considered hair implants?

[heroforhobby]

Thanks, that'd be cool of you.

They wouldn't work. [Shakes his head direly.]

[moneyman]

Yeah, no problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

...Ah. That sucks. I think I'd feel kinda weird getting something like that, anyway. Buuut on the other hand, I've never been bald, so.... you know.

[ sorry, dude. ]
