[At least he could do video so he could properly express his disdain for this situation. If it hadn't been an option he might have just suffered in silence. As it was, everyone else was going to have to suffer him being understandably upset.

He was seated at the kitchen table and from off-screen came occasional bird noises, throaty raven sounds to be specific, but he didn't spare the bird a glance.]

These robots are a little too uncanny valley for my tastes.

[He could kind of see the appeal, but he would never want to be a robot himself.]

If their gods can bring people here, why can't their gods fix their world?

[It was easier to think of it like that than think about what any kind of God saw in him.

There was a clatter from off-screen and he looked over, pointing in the direction of the noise.]

Knock it off.

[He looked back at the camera.]

And we're supposed to believe that the power of love is going to save everyone?

[It sounded like a fairytale, something nice that you told kids before bed instead of the truth, that the world was a terrible, cold place.]

Is it really? In what ways?

[And was everyone sure it was because of the ~power of love?]

There is more green now! And more animals. [ Mina grins wide ] The weather isn't as weird as it used to be, and the wall is expanding.

It's not perfect, but something is working.

[That sounded nice, actually.]

The wall moves on its own?

[Because if it did--that was pretty cool.]

Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but you're pink.

I never seen it move, but the barriers around the city grow as the gods get stronger.

[ she grins even wider now, placing her hands on her hips sort of proudly ] Yep, I know!

[Alright, moving walls, pretty cool. He didn't look impressed though.]

Why is the barrier there in the first place?

[As for her being pink, he nodded approvingly. The only right answer was to own it and that was exactly what she seemed to be doing.]

It's cool.

They say the outside is dangerous. Some people have been there and the air is toxic and there are a lot of monsters out there too. [ plus! ] if you climb the wall, you'll see it's all a wasteland around us. [ it... really sucks. But Mina wants to go out there so badly

Still, she nods back, before she decides to add: ] I'm human, by the way. My skin looks like this because of my superpower. [ people are always surprised when they meet her ] Humans in my world can look different from each other.

[Well, that was a lot better of a reason for the barricade than he'd been thinking. With that in mind, it really did sound like the power of love was saving this place. Which didn't make him any less bitter about the idea, but that might have been because he was biased with the things he'd been through recently.]

What kind of monsters?

[Were they really monsters or just misunderstood?]

Oh. [Yeah, he would've figured her for an alien or something.] What kind of superpower turns you pink?

There were giant worms a couple of months ago, they did a lot of damage... [ cleaning up was a mess too]

And I can make acid from my skin. My skin is pink because it's resistant to it.

[Oh. That sounded like actual legit monsters.]

Did they eat anyone?

[He wasn't necessarily taking a morbid look at things so much as he was thinking of all the sci-fi about giant worms eating people.]

You'd better have a cool codename to go with that.

[Please don't take any suggestions from him, not when his first thought was ACIDGIRL. Yes, the caps were important.]

... hm. The natives. [ she knows a lot of people don't care but they didn't deserve that ] We held their funerals last month.

[ in any case, she smiles aftewards ] Pinky! that's my Hero name. [ it fits her! ]

The natives are all robots, aren't they?

[By which he wasn't trying to imply he didn't care that they'd been eaten, but instead was wondering why monsters would be interested in eating them.]

That's pretty lame, not gonna lie. Why not something like Amaranth or ACIDGIRL? All caps for the second one.

They are.

[ but then he says that and mina blinks before she gasps, pouting ] Whaaaat? it's not lame!! It's super cute and it fits me perfectly!

Why would anything be interested in eating robots?

[For a moment, he fought to keep a straight face. He was teasing about her name, he really was. But he was also semi-serious with his suggestions.]

Sure. If you say so. I guess there's always worse options.

They tried to eat us too. So, I guess anything that moved was a target.

[ she is still pouting a little, but it's hardly serious ] Acidgirl sounds waaaaay too obvious anyway. [ says the Pink girl who picked "Pinky" ]
