[network] @standardissue; Will You Still Call Me Superman? [open] [Night 200]

[Someone is up way too late at night with nothing better to do. Or maybe he's deliberately providing something not-so-serious in the wake of everything that's been going on. Either way...]

Norfinbury, I need your help. My PHS is working again, giving me access to all my old mail, and I came across this entry from a news source in my world.

Subject: Flying SOLDIER man: Dead or alive?
--------------------------------------------

From: Reporter

Contents: Unidentified flying objects are being reported from every
town and borough. Witness accounts point to several common
traits--and lead to the conclusion that it is, in fact, Angeal.
Angeal's death was thought to be certain after [redacted]
so what could these sightings mean?
Have reports of the highly-regarded SOLDIER member's
death been greatly exaggerated--or, perhaps, has
Shinra perfected the technology of bringing back the dead!?
This reporter is committed to bringing you the truth,
no matter how sinister it may be.

Flying SOLDIER Man. Flying SOLDIER Man. Surely there's a better name we can give a super hero with wings. Help me come up with ideas!

Can provide more details about Angeal if needed. I have access to all his fan club mail now, too.

I've never had a problem with bringing fame home with me.

[If anything, he gets less attention now that he's a sorcerer.]

Oh? What makes you so famous?

[Might be interesting to see what Strange is willing to say about himself.]

I was a really, really good surgeon.

Ah. I can see why you'd be proud to be known for that.

Never got tired of people asking you for free medical advice?

I screened my calls.

[Read: he was not necessarily a really really nice surgeon.]

And face-to-face encounters?

Maybe I got a little tired of some of it.

I can imagine.

[Doctor, I have a pain, what does it mean???]

Anyway, yeah, the point is that I can understand some of the appeal in some cases.

Maybe. But it was part of the package. Doctors don;t get pseudonyms.

[So why should sorcerers?]

I'm sure you could still go to a bar and just not tell anyone what you do for a living, though, if you ever wanted to just be unknown for a night.

I could.

[Why would he want to be unknown?]

[Kunsel's going to take a stab in the dark.]

But you're not going to.

You catch on fast.

Guess anonymity isn't everyone's cup of tea.

What can I say? I like me.

Always good to have healthy self esteem.

I like that. I'm going to call it that next time someone criticizes me for it.

Happy to help.
