[ Now that the sickness is finally disappearing, everyone can get back to living their normal life. Granted, she is certain that some are still recovering so Lena being, well, Lena, has a question for everyone. It's one that she hopes will help distract some people and maybe give them a chance to gush about something cool.

That, and she gets to learn more about the different worlds out there. ]

Okay! I think this is on and working. I don't usually do an entire network call like this, but, uh, hey! Lena here, with some questions for you guys! Does anyone have heroes in their world? Because I'd love to learn about the different types of heroes out there. [ Because who doesn't love to learn about that. ]

Also, I'm actually kind of curious to know if anyone here is one... a superhero or just a good ol' hero is good enough for me. I'd love to meet you! Be kind of good to have some sort of hero club or if we can work together in the future if something like this ever happens again.

But, I hope it doesn't. [ Because nobody deserves to get sick. Still, the idea around it is still there in case anything big happens and the royal guard can't just look after it -- assuming it's in an area where they are. ] So if you're a hero then hit me up! If you have a favourite hero, let me know about them.

Cheers!

It wasn't really something I was in the thick of but a few older friends of mine got it pretty badly.

[quevalry]

That's quite unfortunate to hear. I guess I'm lucky that so far, people I've dealt with haven't been like that.

[granularity]

Eh, it was a bad time for everyone. You have McCarthy where you're from? The Red Scare?

[quevalry]

Nooope, never heard of them. It sounds like they're some sort of bad guy though.

[granularity]

They definitely were. He was a senator who started a witch hunt through the country to find communists, who he thought were a danger to the United States government.

[quevalry]

People like that really drive me up the wall. I can never understand their reasoning for thinking doing any of that is okay.

[granularity]

Depending on the person, they either THINK they're doing the right thing, or they get caught up in being important.

[quevalry]

I guess that it can't be helped that there's going to be a couple of them around.

[granularity]

Unfortunately not. Thankfully, people only brook nonsense like that so long.

Everybody gets theirs in the end, I've found.

[quevalry]

Yeah, that's true. The good guys always win!

Most of the time.

My aunt was a writer. And while she wrote mystery novels, she'd say to me, any time I was upset: if you haven't gotten a happy ending, clearly the story isn't over yet.

[quevalry]

That is a really smart way to look at it. You're always able to write your own story after all, no matter how grim it becomes, you can always brighten it up with your own skills.

[granularity]

True enough. And if you can't, it's just motivation to get better.

[quevalry]

Yup! That is the way life goes, or how it should go at least.
