First Switch: On! - [VIDEO]

[spacedstates]

[Hello, network. You find a young highschooler poking at the camera and quirking ann eyebrow.]

Oi, this thing's on, right? I need to talk to people here! It's important!

So...I don't know any of you, probably, but - I'm Gentarou Kisaragi! I'm going to become friends with everyone in Hinoto-Ri!

[He grins for a good long moment, before he puts a hand to his chin.]

But, did someone take my belt? It's kind of yay big - [He stretching his hands out to full length, separating them about head width apart.] And I came here with it! I usually keep it on hand, but when I woke up this morning, I, well...


[The camera zooms out, and it shows Gentarou in all his glory - in an odd black and white jumpsuit, complete with a cape that stretches down his back. A ghost-like insignia is emblazoned across the front of his chest. But it doesn't look like the outfit really... fits him.]

I was wearing this! [He sounds somewhat confused, looking away and smoothing his pompadour, before returning to the camera.] If anyone knows where my belt is, I'd really appreciate it! Maybe we an be friends, too!

But uh... first I'd kind of like my belt back. I told a friend I'd make sure I took care of it!

[And on that note, he fumbles with the new device, eventually ending the feed.]

Gentarou is all-smiles, giving Shou a weak thumbs up, before noticing Phantom Girl vanishing and tossing the Fourze belt at him. He gives a look around, addressing Phantom Girl even though he can't see here.

"Definitely not my first time in the air, but it was different." He laughs a bit, before moving to pull off the jumpsuit. "I hope this thing isn't too stretched out..."

Like Phantom Girl, he was wearing his own sleepwear a simple muscle shirt with pajama pants - but is a little less modest about the whole affair. He scratches his head sheepishly as he takes the Fourze belt, leaving the jumpsuit and ring neatly piled for Phantom Girl to grab.

"Your power is pretty cool, you know?"

[Shou blinks, then pulls his hat from his hip and dons it a bit awkwardly so that it covers his eyes. He chuckles sheepishly at Phantom Girl's reaction.]

Sorry 'bout that - I showed up to help on the off chance that things went south.

...Hmph.

[This is Phantom Girl's only response to Shoutarou for now as she watches her costume removed and laid neatly on the ground. As may be expected, the moment Gentarou is done, the pile vanishes as well, and the sound of rustling is heard. ...This pauses a few seconds in.]

I know you guys can't see me, but. Turn around, anyway, OK? It's the principle of the thing.

[When they have done so, a great deal of rustling, zippering, and pulling can be heard before Phantom Girl clears her throat and speaks again.]

'K, I'm good.

I... think I'll go ahead and retire this one. If it's all the same to you.

[It is indeed a little bit stretched in some parts. Phantom Girl holds her nighty in one hand while tugging at the loose fabric with the other, a woeful expression on her face.]

Anyway, I think your 'rookie' did pretty well for himself, all things considering. I mean, not just any amateur superhero gets to bail me out of a jam.

That's what you guys are, too, right? I can't imagine using that thing for anything else.

Gen is very much a gentleman and turns and bows his head when asked. Though he does get out a good laugh when he turns and sees the stretched out jumpsuit on Phantom Girl.

"Sorry about that...!"

At the mention of what the gear is used for, a grin does split wide on Gentarou's face.

"Yep, that's right! We're Kamen Riders! Defenders of truth, warriors of justice!"

He pounds on his chest, before pointing, arm outstretched.

"The Super Space Rider! Kamen Rider Fourze- Kisaragi Gentarou!"

[phantom_envoy]

((Not totally sure if I should wait for a three person thread, but let me know if I should do that in the future!))

".....Wow."

This is less a 'wow' of appreciation and more the type of 'wow' that would accompany a raised eyebrow. Which Phantom Girl proceeds to do.

"I hope I don't sound that cheesy when I describe my team. So, uh... was that whole thing your name or do you have something you go by most of the time?"

While Gen might have been a gentleman, Phantom Girl was more of a snarky commentator type.

"Anyway, whatever it is - Nice to meet you, Super Space Rider. I'm Phantom Girl. Phantom Girl from the Legion of Superheroes."

[thisclinchesit]

(It's cool!)

[Guess Gentarou's pretty open about the whole secret identity thing - though to be fair, given the situation, there was no way in hell he could've kept it hidden from Phantom Girl.

Once Gentarou's finished, Shoutarou dismounts his bike and steps up.]

Far as I know, just 'Fourze' or 'Gentarou' works. I'm half of Kamen Rider Double, Hidari Shoutarou.

[He does seem rather interested by her introduction, however.]

A legion? Like you work with a group of heroes all the time?
