TEXT- #THE WATCH

[The following text message comes from a really recent account. Looks like whoever posted this really couldn't resist making their AMAZING PRESENCE known.]

Good day, fellow heroes!

It is with great pleasure that I, the Mysticalman, shall now be watching over this beautiful city of Los Angeles along with the rest of you! Though we may all come from different backgrounds, it warms my heart to the core to see so many upstanding superheroes bravely unite against the wretched forces of EVIL!!! I must say, I am looking forward to meeting all of you in person!

I also happen to have a request- should any of you come across a magical creature, I would be delighted if you could let me know right away! Even the slightest hint, the barest shadow of a clue would be immense help. While I am more than skilled at finding them on my own, I must admit this place is still quite new to me and I would certainly appreciate your assistance! Thank you!

Nah. Not really my thing. I'm more of a solo act, and also the kind of act where I'm in charge.

[superball]

Well! I can't say I don't know the sentiment... but I do hope you have family or friends you can rely on! The superhero world can get awfully dangerous, without any kind of support.

[sick_heartbeats]

Don't really need anyone. Never have, never will.

[superball]

Come on, surely you're not all alone in this world?

[sick_heartbeats]

Not anymore, no. But I was doing just fine when I was.

[superball]

I'm glad to hear that!

All the same- know that if you ever need a hand, the Mysticalman will always be happy to help a fellow hero.

[sick_heartbeats]

Yeah, I'll definitely keep you mind. You're like the first guy I'd go to in case of an emergency. Light up the fucking Unicorn Signal, there's a rabid gnome on the loose.

[superball]

Do you really think I could get the city to set up a Unicorn Signal? It would be awfully convenient.

[sick_heartbeats]

No idea, but if you find out I want in on it.

[superball]

I will definitely let you know, then!

Ah, but I wouldn't want to keep you. I'm sure someone of your age must have quite a bit of homework.

[sick_heartbeats]

The homework they give out is embarrassingly easy. But I'm a pretty busy dude in general, yeah. Later.
