Okay.

*VITA continues tapping Hero, tapping out a melody they vaguely remember from years ago.*

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

...what? Is there something on my face? I could've sworn I got all the blood off.

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

*After a brief period of surprise, VITA just. Accepts it. They tap their fingers on Hero, for no reason in particular.*

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

Oooh, fun. That could lead to less intense villainy!

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

...yeah, that makes sense.

So. Uh. Anything else you don't remember?

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

Booooooooo, being boring sucks!

Thanks for the cool scars though! You're a pretty good fighter!

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

You happened to me. Do you not remember? Weird.

Anyways, are you still in a villainous mood or are you back to being boring?

*VITA emerges from the little hole they dug in the side of the big hole.*

Oh hey, you're up. How do you feel?

-@vita-non

Like shit.

..christ what happened to you?

[vita-non]

...okay. I'll just wait until you feel better.

*VITA sits down and leans against them. They won't admit it, but they enjoy H3R0's presence.*

*After several days of rest and bleeding, VITA manages to get up. They crawl over to the hole and looks in.*

...h-hey... former H-Hero...? You good...?

-@vita-non

[It seems to be out of commission.]

[Their head is tilted down, shrouding their face. A second set of arms is halfway out of their back, one hand bent at an odd angle, most likely from trying to stop the fall.]

[vita-non]

...uhm...

*VITA carefully makes their way into the hole, and pokes at H3R0 with caution.*

Mx. Hero...?

[vita-non]

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

...did... did I win...?

I... I did! I won! I defeated a hero!

*They do a little spin, cheering and celebrating.*

I'M THE GREATEST VILLAIN EVER!!! AHAHAHAHA-

*They then promptly pass out from overexertion and blood loss.*

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

Alright, alright, uh...

M!ANON! BIG HOLE!

*The ground rumbles a bit, and a roughly H3R0-sized hole appears underneath them.*

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

...Slesus Slrist, you're weird like this...

*Being wholly inexperienced in combat, VITA just throws the stick as hard as they can.*

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

*They dodge on foot this time, picking up a stick to defend themself.*

Alright, uh... t-this is just... n-normal! Yeah! To be a villain, I gotta fight a hero! So... uh... y-yeah! Come at me!

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

*Just before its hand makes contact, VITA poofs out of reach and reappears a few feet away.*

H-hey! Seriously, you can stop now!

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

*After the second impact, several cuts manifest on their body. A slightly more saturated grey blood leaks out of them, including from their shades.*

O-ow... hey, uh... I-I think I have enough cool scars... you can stop now...

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!

@vita-non

[They analyze VITA for a moment]

[vita-non]

*VITA is knocked back several feet, and crashes through a tree. With a huge crack in their sunglasses, they stare up at H3R0...*

...woah... thanks for the cool scar! Man, you're so much cooler than you used to be!

Oh hey! It's been a while! Lookin' good, hopefully former Hero!
