The Support Group Meme!

Per Wikipedia:

In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

○ Post with a character.

○ Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."

○ Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.

NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

[It is hard to beat the speed of a Gokai Change. Gai waits patiently though. When Wild Tiger steps back into view though, Gai looks him over excitedly.]

Waah! That is so cool! It's like a super mode! Can you combine with other armors?

[herotvlive]

No, but my partner and I have Good Luck Mode! NO ONE can beat us in that!

[Of course they're only managed it a grand total of... 3 times? STILL! PERFECT RECORD!]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[Gai nods quickly.]

Does your partner have powers too? What are they like?

[herotvlive]

Bunny? He's got 100 Power, same as me. We're pretty sure it's the only case of identical NEXT powers. It's like a one-in-a-bajillion shot!

[VERY ACCURATE statistics here. It's obvious he's pretty proud of that fact.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Oh wow, maybe you guys are linked. Like you were meant to be partners.

[herotvlive]

What, like Fate?

[He chuckles at that.]

You know, a year ago I would have said Fate had an awful sense of humor. We drove each other nuts! But now... well, I'm lucky he's my partner. Damn lucky. Even if I still want to throttle him sometimes.

You know how it is... er, maybe? You've got partners too, right?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He nods quickly.]

Right! Like Fate!

Haha! Yeah, I have my crew. Joe, Don, Ahim, Luka, Marvelous, and Navi.

Marvelous's name will never not crack me up btw

[herotvlive]

And you would take a flaming freak arrow for them -

[Yup, done that.]

Even if there's days you want to slap them?

[That too.]

Okay, maybe not slap them. You seem too cheerful a guy! But you get it - whether it's Fate or Luck, it's good to have them!

I snickered a lot when I first heard it too.

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[Gai laughs, nodding.]

There are days when we don't all get along. And sometimes getting Joe, Luka, and Marvelous to go along with things is frustrating...but we're crew! They're my friends and we always get through it.

[herotvlive]

That's good. Having friends who support you is important!

...Marvelous? That's... what, a code name?

[Because the rest sound like normal names but MARVELOUS?

Granted, he calls his partner "Bunny," ("IT'S BARNABY!")]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He shakes his head and grins.]

No, that's his real name. He's the team's leader. And Captain of the crew.

[herotvlive]

Huh.

You guys use your real names? Isn't it a hassle, people knowing who you are?

[It just seems like it would be a PAIN. Plus, you'd have villains coming after you ALL the time - but maybe it's a generational thing. Everyone knows Barnaby/Bunny's name, and he does fine.]

Or maybe I'm just old-fashioned!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Well, Marvelous and the others aren't from Earth. And the Zangyack already knew our names and put out a lot of wanted posters for us.

[He laughs a little.]

Most people don't know us until we mention we're the wanted Space Pirates.

[herotvlive]

Pirates, huh? And you're heroes too? Sounds like Robin Hood!

Geeze, Wanted posters though? That sucks.

[He's been on the wrong end of a manhunt before. Not his fault, but that was a VERY BAD DAY.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Right! We help all the people the Zangyack oppress and threaten!

It's not that bad. Marvelous says they were badges of honor for us.

[herotvlive]

Glad you've got a sense of humor about it!

[Of course, it's different when it's your FRIENDS hunting you instead of an Evil Empire!]

Zangyack are your bad guys, then?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Right! The Zangyack Empire is trying to take over the entire universe.

[herotvlive]

Geeze. We've got some pretty ambitious villains, but that's impressive!

So who's stopping them? Just the six of you?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He nods.]

Us and the powers of the previous 34 Super Sentai teams standing behind us.

[herotvlive]

[Tiger cracks his knuckles.]

Well, if they show up in Sternbild, you'll have us too! No way would we just sit by and let someone else do the fighting for us!

[Aside from this weird meeting space, he's not sure how else they WOULD meet up, but you never know! Crazy alien empires may have some weird dimension-jumping tech or something!]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

It'd be great to fight alongside you guys! [He pauses.] I wonder if you guys have an Ultimate Power too...

[herotvlive]

Ultimate Power? Never heard of that!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Every Super Sentai team has an Ultimate Power. It's like a concentrated amount of their awesome in one shot! Like the TimeRangers' Ultimate Power is my GoZyuDrill and the MagiRangers' is MagiDragon. We even got an Ultimate Power from a Kamen Rider too!

[herotvlive]

Ultimate Power. Huh. I don't know if it works like that here or not. Us Heroes aren't really a formal "team." We're all sort of in competition with each other, though we're all working to save people too!

Maybe it would work with Bunny and I? Though I don't know how we'd make one...

[He's trying to follow Gai, but he really has no idea what you're talking about!

The Mun is making excited noises though because that would be SO COOL]

It sounds amazing, though!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Ah...I don't think you can make one. You have to find it. Like when my crew figured out ours was the power to keep fighting and seize our dreams no matter what villains stood in our way. It comes from within.

It is really amazing! So awesome!
