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.

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!

[herotvlive]

So... how does it work? Other people give you theirs to fight the Empire?

[Because it does sound awesome, but Tiger needs all the power he can get! He can't just go giving it to other people.]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He nods enthusiastically.]

When we earn the power, they let us use it to fight the Zangyack and anything else threatening earth.

[herotvlive]

Sounds kinda like Kaede's Power Copying, only permanent.

[He shrugs.]

Sorry - I'm sure you're all good kids but I think I'd better keep mine where it is! I have people and a city to protect!

[Then Tiger pounds one fist into another, and laughs.]

But I'm happy to help you take down any stupid aliens who need a lesson!

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[He laughs.]

It's not permanent. The previous Super Sentai just lost their powers when the Zangyack first attacked. We gathered them all up and are using them to search for the Greatest Treasure in the Universe and to defeat the Zangyack.

[herotvlive]

[Well... maybe loaning would be okay, though Tiger's still not sure the NEXT abilities would even work with the Sentai powers.]

Treasure hunters, huh? Like pirates?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[]Gai's not sure either. But knowing the way it works, it'd just end up turning into a Ranger Key that'd put the user in Tiger's armor and simulate his power.]

That's right! We're a pirate crew!

[herotvlive]

[Come on Old Man, he already told you that! Pay attention!]

Right, sorry! Just you don't meet many pirates. Sort of an old-fashioned job, isn't it?

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

Maybe. We're space pirates though so maybe it's not so old-fashioned.

[herotvlive]

Space Pirates? Now you sound like a kids' TV show!

[Hey, he works in television! He knows a good plot when he hears one!]

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[Gai laughs, shaking his head.]

We're role models for the kids but not a TV show...

[herotvlive]

[Come on, superhero space pirates? Who wouldn't watch that?!]

Eh, you never know! Bet Ms. Agnes would jump on it!

[Then he grimaces.]

She's kind of scary, though...

[silver_fanboy_pirate]

[That makes Gai blink.]

Who's Ms. Agnes?
