doublefried | HAWKS PALACE

Welcome to the Heroic Public Safety Commission Presents: The History of Heroism Museum!

The area is clean and quiet, well-maintained, and looks like a comic convention. Every exhibit is on some superhero or other, none of which seem familiar to anyone. Huge men and buff women in spandex feature heavily, as well as less conventional heroes, and there is of course a well-stocked gift shop.

Admission is free for all guests of the park.

The featured exhibits today are the History of Heroes exhibit, the Origin of the HPSC exhibit, and the History's Worst Villain exhibit.

[ sniffs at the entrance of each of the different exhibits - is there anything interesting she can pick up about each one? ]

All of them smell about the same. Museum-y. They come with little audio tours for anyone interested!

The Origin of the HPSC and the History's Worst Villain exhibits smell a little like metal? But like, distant metal. Like it's very far away.

[ Sniffs her way into the Origin of the HPSC exhibit, who needs signage when you have nose! ]

The Origin of the HPSC has a lot of paintings and wax figures and ancient costumes and words words words words!

Mostly, this talks about how eventually, the most popular heroes were officially recognized by the government, which formed a division - the origin of the Heroic Public Safety Commission, or HPSC - to regulate and monitor hero activity.

The HPSC oversees hero qualification exams, issues hero licenses, maintains the biannual popularity rankings, and serves as an investigative board when a civilian has a complaint about the conduct of any particular professional hero.

Rarely, the HPSC will sponsor a young aspiring hero into a special training program. The resulting heroes will often work with the HPSC later in their careers to help advance their mutual goals.

A big ol' photo of a slightly younger Hawks accompanies that last bit. He's maybe eighteen and in some sort of - almost a graduation party? - receiving some kind of license. The metal smell is oddly strong here.

No astronauts anywhere?? How can they call this a hero exhibit?

[does he still have the tiny on his shoulders. gonna head to history's worst villain tho because he knows ASTRONAUT history why does he need hero history??]

Tiny is still here.

History's Worst Villain talks about the life and times of All For One, a legendary villain. Born very early after quirks began to develop, his meta-ability - All For One, from which he took his name - allowed him to take and grant the abilities of others freely. This allowed him to gather great amounts of personal power, as well as a following - either through loyalty or through fear - that he could leverage to gain absolute control over the underbelly of society.

His reign persisted through several generations of heroes who lived and died fighting his influence, until it was finally broken by the current number one Hero - the HPSC's specially trained prodigy and the youngest professional hero ever to rank in the top 10 - Hawks - who defeated him in battle with the cooperation of the previous #1, Endeavor.

Today, AFO has been soundly defeated, and we finally live in a time of peace and prosperity.

The hero pictured in the exhibit called 'Hawks' sure looks a LOT like the baby you are carrying around. Just, older.

[SQUINTS.]

Wait a damn second.

[looks up]

Yo, kiddo! What's your name?

"Me? I'm Keigo."

[...gunpowder seems more likely at the villain exhibit]

NORMALLY it wouldn't be. This exhibit talks about the life and times of All For One, a legendary villain. Born very early after quirks began to develop, his meta-ability - All For One, from which he took his name - allowed him to take and grant the abilities of others freely. This allowed him to gather great amounts of personal power, as well as a following - either through loyalty or through fear - that he could leverage to gain absolute control over the underbelly of society.

His reign persisted through several generations of heroes who lived and died fighting his influence, until it was finally broken by the current number one Hero - the HPSC's specially trained prodigy and the youngest professional hero ever to rank in the top 10 - Hawks - who defeated him in battle wth the cooperation of the previous #1, Endeavor.

Today, AFO has been soundly defeated, and we finally live in a time of peace and prosperity.

However. Because Nagant was let out.

She has fucking trashed this place. There's like, holes in the walls. She's graffiti'd shit. And while she hasn't gone as far as setting up BOMBS, there's definitely at least one well-used crowbar sticking out of the middle of a broken photograph.

[l o l

takes the crowbar

I KNOW WHERE TO USE THIS]

Nagant says FUCK the propaganda machine

it looks like there's an entrance to the backstage area here, too.

This is really more than I was expecting...

[dang there's so much to see! in order to keep herself from being overwhelmed she is going to check out the History of Heroes exhibit first. seems like a good place to start?]

The History of Heroes exhibit is full of wax figures and photos. The plaques beside the various exhibits explain that the history of heroism begins with quirks.

Quirks began several hundred years ago with a baby who was born glowing. At the time, this ability was called a 'meta ability', and although the glowing baby was the first on record, he wasn't the last.

More people with these abilities began to be born, and it quickly formed a division in society. Many, especially with meta abilities in the 'mutant' category, were ostracized for their unusual features. Still others became the first 'villains' - people who used their abilities to commit crimes.

In response to the surge in crime, the first 'heroes' - vigilantes who used their meta abilities to fight against these criminals - rose up, following examples they had only seen in fiction before then.

In today's society, vigilanteism is illegal, and the authority heroes have is both limited and monitored by the Heroic Public Safety Commission.

[Society Is Wild,

does she have her phone with her still, can she take pictures of the wax figures with it]

She can! She can take a picture with this guy!

[ whoaaaaaa. ]

This is bigger than I expected...

Where do you think we should go, little friend?

[ she is talking to the keychain she won, yes. He doesn't respond of course.

AND SO... she picks the History of Heroes exhibit, because it's right there. ]

[ ....??? ]

I don't think I understand everything...

[ ... onwards to the Villain exhibit! ]

The Villain one will definitely clear things up.

This one talks about the life and times of All For One, a legendary villain. Born very early after quirks began to develop, his meta-ability - All For One, from which he took his name - allowed him to take and grant the abilities of others freely. This allowed him to gather great amounts of personal power, as well as a following - either through loyalty or through fear - that he could leverage to gain absolute control over the underbelly of society.

Mmmm....yes, in the sense that there are some exhibits related to the Sea Witch? Most of it focuses on the royal family though...

Ah. Which exhibit would you like to see first?

"I don't know anything about witches or royalty..."

He looks around with a tiny baby frown.

"I already know some of this stuff. But if you want to know about heroes you should probably start with that 'history of heroes' one..."

[Heads to the hero exhibit first]

Oh? How do you know about it?

"Everyone knows about quirks and heroes and stuff. They're everywhere."
