[Video] 08th Time Loop

Sep 29, 2011 00:00

[The video feed shows two familiar boys at a park bench outside. It seems like they're in a heavy debate, or about to get into one, despite how chill Dave appears.]

So then what kinda heroes do you have?

Don't have one. I don't really think they exist nowadays.

[John seems shocked at this news.]

What? Then what'd you write for that essay in school? You always have that essay in school!

[The blond shrugs.]

The entire essay was about how there weren't any real heroes, just traits. Shit, you don't see fucking Hercules or Superman or who the fuck ever wandering around the streets, do you?

Well, no! But that doesn't mean there aren't real ones, like firemen or policemen, or like...you know...

There's police brutality all over the place and firemen are just doin' their job, nothin' more. They're trained to do that shit.

Well, they don't have to do that job!

Nobody has to do anythin'. Still doesn't make 'em a hero. You could be the worst person in the world and still do your job.

Well...I guess not but. I don't know, I always had someone to write about.

There are just way too many shitty people. Heroes died out with the Romans. Or whoever the fuck wrote those epic tales of supposed heroism.

Not everything has to be epic! It can be simple!

[Dave can't really deny that.]

And not everythin' has to be all explosions and out in the open kinda shit. Can't forget about the "unsung heroes."

Yeah! Like, um...like my Dad...

[There's a pause, and suddenly it turns awkward.]

Still doesn't convince me that there are heroes. Just good people.

...I guess.

[Dave then picks up the communication device, focusing it on his face.]

So, Wonderland, how about them "heroes?"

broing out, debate time, ~video, cynical dave is cynical, holy shit that post got long, philosophy time, i'm not a hero, being a hero is a joke, missing dead relatives, i need a hero, debate debate debate, fml, what is a hero?, fucking hero essays, *john egbert, still only children, no such thing as heroes
