>>6023124>Trait Gained! Unwilling Celebrity, Minor (Kuchinashi): People sometimes talk about you. Yet you try to shoot them down when you can. Some people respect your wishes, admiring you in silence, yet a small group of hardcore fans will surely appear, infatuated by your humbleness and down-to-earth behaviour.>Character Sheet as of now: https://pastebin.com/ibq7c0km“Look, hey, hey! Listen!” You told the crowd of admirers in front of you. They got quiet after a while, giving you their attention with big smiles on their faces. “I know that you think that I’m a heroine or something, but… But that’s not the way things are. In truth I just did what anyone else would’ve done. There’s no need to blow this out of proportion.”
“But that’s no true, miss. Most of us wouldn’t have done that. What you did was truly heroic!” One of the girls in the crowd said. Most of them agreed with her.
“I know, but… but I’m sure that given the circumstances you would have done the same! Don’t think of myself as someone different from you all. I just… had the tools at my disposal to do what I had to.” You started to stutter a bit. Talking with a single individual was one thing. Dealing with a crowd, however… that was an entirely different beast. “For example, you! At the front! If someone from your family was in a similar situation you would have intervened, right?”
You pointed to a random guy within the group. He appeared to be nervous, looking around as if you mistook him from somebody else. After a while of trying to evade your question, he gave in. “Yeah… yeah I think I would…”
“See?” You continued with your speech. Far too many speeches in such a short amount of time. If you kept going you were sure you would become an expert in no time. “I am no better than you all. I just did what I thought was right. That desire to do the right thing? All of you have it. So please, don’t think I am someone special.”
The crowd remained silent, looking amongst themselves. Solemn smiles were found within them. You’re sure your words reached out the heart of some of them, but by the way some of them smiled you knew that some of them liked you more. This wasn’t… ideal, to say the least.
“Look…” you sighed. You were still tired. Your headache was a constant reminder of your priorities. “…I know you want a hero to save you all. We all do. However, I can’t be that heroine. Sorry to burst your bubble. If I had to give you all a piece of advice, well, if you so desperately want a hero, then try to become one, ok? Now, I need to get going. And please… don’t follow me.”
Most of them tried to avoid meeting gazes with you. Some of them felt embarrassment, sadness. Maybe even guilt? But you just couldn’t satisfy their wishes. You easily walked past them, ready to get out of this nightclub.
