i dont understand

why inquire someones hero alias if the intention is not to give them the one they request

such action is a waste of time

i am esper astral i ask that you call me that

while the machine has given me the alias soulbonder i have no intention of using it

I know, right? The scary Porter lady gave me "Monster in the Darkness", I mean, I guess that's me, but it's not even a name!

[subtlebody]

what is your true name [CURIOUS ABOUT THE MONSTER THING... But he'll ask about that later]

[gatewhatgate]

Oh, I don't have one. If she really thinks people should have names she should've given me one.

[subtlebody]

i assumed everyone has a name

do you prefer a different alias than that one

[gatewhatgate]

Most people just call me Monster. You can call me that too, Mr. Esper Astral!

[subtlebody]

just astral is fine monster

im curious what power do you have [ARE YOU A DUEL MONSTER, MR. MONSTER IN THE DARKNESS?]

[gatewhatgate]

Sometimes I'm covered in darkness, but not right now. It would've been really cool to get flight or invisibility or laser eyes or something. [ Or superstrength. Which he kinda has but doesn't really care about. ]

[subtlebody]

does it apply only to you or are others effected

[gatewhatgate]

Um, well, it follows me around and no one can see me in it.

[subtlebody]

is that not a form of invisibility

[gatewhatgate]

Nuh uh, you can't see where someone is with invisibility. Everybody knows where I am since they can see the darkness, but they can't see me underneath it.

But I guess you have a point, invisibility would suck. I only just got to be visible!

[subtlebody]

i dont understand

everyone can see the darkness but they cannot see you [So... it's a flip effect???]

o i made you a diagram
o it's color-coded and everything

[He includes this image. ]

[subtlebody]

[Okay, that's better]

thank you

you mentioned you were never visible to people

did the machine change that

[gatewhatgate]

Yeah, Xykon - he's my boss - he kept me in the darkness all the time until I could be revealed dramatically. I never got to show myself though. I only found out the darkness sometimes goes away after the porter lady brought me here for my vacation, and THEN she went and gave me a human form. It's pretty weird, but cool I guess?

[subtlebody]

she gave you a human form

peculiar

do you know if you the only one this has happened to
