Faux Hero

[Gimeurcookie]

> Tell him that you think someone else did that and not you.

[Prof. Luigi]

>Tell him to calm the heck down. And ask him where he learned it if it wasn't in school.

[SleepingOrange]

>Forget Jim. Heck, forget all of them. If everyone is determined to think of you as a hero, roll with it! It's time to get hedonistic up in this business.

(This business being the Lucky Star)

[Nom de Plume]

> Don't press him any more. It doesn't look like you're going to get any more details out of him, and the last thing you want is for people to start thinking you're going crazy when you're so high profile. The public sympathy will be nothing less than insufferable.

> Instead say to him that everyone appears to be confusing you with a shadowy doppelganger. Attempt to enlist his help in finding the real hero.

[Lankie]

> Ask for more details on the dark monster thing that apparently ruled the world. Seriously press him on it. Force him to remember what really happened.

>Tell him to calm the heck down. And ask him where he learned it if it wasn't in school.

"Ok, just, calm down ok? Could you tell me more about this dark monster thing?"

"Um I-I am sorry, b-but I don't really, um remember that we-"

"Then remember HARDER, damnit!"

"Right, right sorry, err, it was um, big, and err, like this giant, um lizard thing I think, but really, um, smart? Th-they didn't really talk about it much in school an-"

"Stop lying James, you couldn't of learnt it at school. That's impossible.

"I-I n- At lea- I'm pretty sure I, uh, learnt it at scho-"

STOP. LYING!"

I-I'm not- i'm not lying. I-I-I r-really did learn it at, um school. Please, i-'m really sorry, but I di-I mean, I not. Please believe me."

"..."

You suddenly feel terrible about everything and awful and guilty and oh god Charlotte what are you doing?

>Seriously get a disguise or something at some point in the near future, this is going to be difficult otherwise
>Just straight up tell him you didn't do any of this hero stuff, and don't be mean about it, he'll probably freak out and apologize profusely

>Forget Jim. Heck, forget all of them. If everyone is determined to think of you as a hero, roll with it! It's time to get hedonistic up in this business.

(This business being the Lucky Star)

No.

You will not hide away and you will definitely not take advantage of this.

You don't care if it's the logical thing to do. You don't care if it makes you the most stubborn person on the planet.

You refuse.

[SleepingOrange]

>At least go get some rags to get the gravy off yourself then

[ch00_bakka]

>After work, go to a library and read about what happened that made you so famous. Surely there will be some better info there?

[Prof. Luigi]

>After work, go to a library and read about what happened that made you so famous. Surely there will be some better info there?

This or look it up on the internet.

The internet. Really.

[Prof. Luigi]

>After work, go to a library and read about what happened that made you so famous. Surely there will be some better info there?

The internet. Really.

What's that supposed to mean?

[Neoskel]

>When you're done with work (which i guess is whenever since i'm sure your boss wouldn't stop the 'great hero') go hunt down a history professor or someone similarly knowledgeable to learn your exploits from. A person will be better able to convey the information you want than a book.

>Also, when you have the time, try to find a fan group/site/whatever for yourself on the internet. You're looking for stalkers who keep a record of your movements and activities. If you can find such a record, you can compare it with what you can remember and see if there is a split somewhere, especially around the time this hero stuff started.

So there's a few options here on what happened.

One of them is that you've somehow slipped into a parallel dimension where this dimension's version of you has actually done all that stuff. That might mean that there's a heroic (and possibly immortal) version of you in your home dimension wondering why nobody pays them any attention anymore. This explains why things were normal until just recently.

Another option is that at some point in the future you're going to travel back in time and actually do all that stuff yourself. This option fits with the fact that your apparent exploits are historical in nature. This however would seem to imply that you'd have to leave in the time machine on the precise date this hero garbage started, unless that can be explained away with some pseudo-science babble about how the 'wave of change' passed through the timeline and only caught up with you at that point in time or some such.

And of course it could be some combination of those two with possible elements of dopplegangers, identical ancestors, video games somehow overriding reality, etc. You might also be trapped in a dream machine or something as part of an experiment. Or even that you really ARE that hero but some dastardly villain has screwed with your memories to disable you as part of a plot or plain revenge.

It is also possible that some outside entity (person, organization, supernatural being, or something along those lines) may have somehow caused this deliberately. For example, a real hero trying to hide his/her identity, or a villain who wants the masses to turn to an incompetent hero to save them when he/she enacts his/her nefarious plans.

[Ixcalibur]

>Okay that while a bit awkward and uncomfortable has clearly demonstrated that whatever has happened it is clearly not the fault of the people who believe you to be a hero. There's probably someone behind this and you should try not to take your anger out on the people whose fault it is not.

>Visit your local library.

[SenorTaquito]

>Amnesia seems like a good cover story, if people need a reason to tell you the things you've done.
>GO TO THE INTERNET AND POST ON FORUMS ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS 'GREAT HERO' SUCKS
>WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY RESPOND
>In the meantime actually look up what you have allegedly done.

[Lankie]

Huh? Oh yeah, you forgot all about this.

Well you don't think cleaning yourself up is massively necessity. I mean, most of it got on your apron. Plus these are your work clothes, you don't massively care for there well being. Double plus; It's almost the end of your shift anyway, speaking of which.



Hey! It's finally 8:00, end of work!

...At least you assume it's 8:00 I mean, look at this piece of crap clock, it has a 1 where the 12 should be! It used to be a recurring joke between coworkers and yourself, that your boss was such a cheapskate that he wouldn't buy a normal clock.

Those were the days, of course, they don't happen anymore.



Ahh, Thank God It's Friday, today has been pretty tiring for you.

...Ok you barely did any work as usual but shut up it's been emotionally taxing that counts, right?

Anyway, now that you've finished work you've got a couple of options available to you.

You could simply go home, your apartment is a pretty short walk from here, 15 minutes tops to get there. You have an Internet connection to research stuff if you want, not to mention get out of these work clothes into something more casual. Also, PRIVACY! Which is something you very much like these days.

Or you could head to the library, there are some problems with that though, namely; it's a Friday evening any they are more than likely closed. You suppose you could use your *cough* 'Status' *cough* to get them to open it for you, but, as you've made pretty clear, you'd rather not do that. To walk to the Library would take about one hour, or about 20 minutes by bus. Saying that; you've pretty much given up on public transport for obvious reasons.

Finally you guess you could check up in a history professor somehow? I mean, your first guess would be Ductor City University, but that's quite a trek, a good hour of riding a bus at least. Even then it's highly likely no one will be around at this hour.

Or you could do something completely different!

[SleepingOrange]

>Eh, just go home. That sounds most convenient.

[Gimeurcookie]

> No place like home.

[The One Guy]

> Yea, go home.

[Reecer6]

>Home is almost literally the only option here, not mentioning Do Whatever, so go home and use the internet

[HalcyonicStitcher]

Maybe your co-workers see you differently, but surely your friends and family will be more understanding. Why don't you call somebody that has known you since birth?

[Whimbrel]

Go feed the ducks. At least wildlife isn't strangely in awe of you, right?

[OldManRupee]

Go to the masked ball, dance your troubles away.

[SonicLover]

Go feed the ducks. At least wildlife isn't strangely in awe of you, right?

Knowing how things usually go in these adventures, they probably are.

Seconding go home.

[DynamicDinosaur]

Have a devil on the shoulder telling you to abuse your hero status

[Ixcalibur]

> Go to the library. The information you find there will likely be more reliable. Plus if you look yourself up on the internet all you will get is fansites... Ugh.
