[Crash

Bang

Slam]


This thing better bloody well come off or so help me --

[The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver whirred

Another crash]

Oh come on!

[A small explosion occurs. Smoke fills the room, but the whirr is heard once more, and the smoke begins to clear up.]

Okay. [cough] Right then. [cough] Note to self --- or is it selves?

Well. Note to me: The Sonic Screwdriver does not work on lighty uppy collar thingies.

Not being heard of?

Why kidnap me if they haven't heard of me? Not to mention that if they've got all this technology, they must be able to tell I'm not human at the very least. I mean, really, I've got two hearts. It should be obvious.

So if they either haven't heard of me, as you suggest, or they can't figure out that something's off, they'll be wishing they did.

[Shoutarou frowns a bit, stuffing his hands in his pockets.] Well - it seems that if you're a big deal where you come from, it's hit-and-miss here as to if anyone's heard of you. Nobody I've met has heard of Kamen Riders - nor have I heard of nation-people, or time lords...

[A breath, then a sigh.]

As for our captors, they told us that the selection process was random.

[spacehipster]

Random? I doubt that. Random seems too...random for people with this technology and intelligence.

[thisclinchesit]

I'm inclined to agree - both due to that, and for the fact that I don't trust our so-called 'benefactors'.

[spacehipster]

Yes, the trustworthy sort don't tend to put glowing collars on people or lock them in towers.

[thisclinchesit]

Exactly.

[spacehipster]

Well, I'm glad someone here has come to the same conclusions I have. Very refreshing. As much as I like to have faith in the best in people, I am not ignorant of the blatant red flags popping up all around here.

Alright then. So tell me about these Kamen Riders. Are you one? 'Course you're one. But what are they? Humans, I'd say. What do they do? Well, you're a good guy so I'd say they're the good guys. Why the name? It's interesting, cool. Means "Masked Rider" in English. Why the mask if you're good? Are you a sort of superhero perhaps? Yes, that would make more sense.

[thisclinchesit]

[Shoutarou was going to answer, but...it seems like a lot of the points got touched upon.]

...yeah, we're superheroes. Generally localized, but generally the idea is that we protect a particular place - and to some degree, the whole Earth - from whatever evils that crop up that we can stop. As for why the mask... [Shoutarou considers it, then shrugs.] It seems to come with the powers. My pa--associates and I generally worked with secret identities so it didn't draw trouble to our regular work and those who worked with us.

[spacehipster]

Aww yeah, I got almost all of that right. Excellent excellent. It all makes sense. You're a logical choice for them to kidnap. They've got me, they've got at least one superhero I know of, they've got a troll thingie, and entire nations contained in a person.

It all makes sense.

Except it doesn't. Because I met a little boy, Romeo, the other day. 100% human, from Rome a few hundred years back. 'Course there's a possibility he's the Romeo, as in Romeo and Juliet, in which case everything would make sense in a different sort of way.

[Congratulations Shoutarou, the doctor has chose you! Yes, you! To say his thoughts out loud to. Warning: he may never stop talking]

[thisclinchesit]

[It's like his partner, but with better fashion sense!]

Ah, Romeo, yeah - good kid from what I've seen.

While I want to believe there's some ulterior motive to their selection, the random does make sense - there's some of us that make sense, and then there's those that don't.

Unless those that don't are just here to throw us off the trail of the reasons - in which case, that makes them all the more despicable.

[spacehipster]

Oooh, I didn't think of that. Why didn't I think of that? Well. Nevermind that. It's a definite possibility.

We'll just have to investigate further.

[thisclinchesit]

That we will.

And depending on what we find, deal with it appropriately.

[spacehipster]

Now that's the way to think, Shou! We'll be out of here in no time.
