Posted On Jan 20th 2011:
Hello everyone, my name is Menagerie.

Most of you have seen me around. I started my hero life this year and have since moved the tanker, healed people at the hospital, made berry gardens for low-income communities, and made Vista very, very sad.

All things considered, I think I've done pretty well for myself.

Anyway, I thought I'd introduce myself to the city and the wider internet more formally. Here I am; ask me anything.

PS: Vista's cool. She should really let her hair down more though, or she's going to go bald before she's twenty.

Good to see a new hero in the Bay. Can you tell us more about your powers?

I'm a changer who turns into different forms that I call pokemon (pocket monsters). I have over a thousand forms. I told Glory Girl and Panacea this, but they don't believe me and I'm not going to just sit around all day swapping forms. Take that as you will.

Ooh, a new hero!

[Here's] a video of your spheal. Can you give me a calendar of your cutest pokemon? I have a lot of time on my hands and need something to look at.

Moar spheal! When will we see more of the adorable fluffball?

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
[Winged_One], A calendar? Just twelve? That's nowhere near enough. But feel free to compile one for your own amusement. I'm sure there will be enough people taking pictures around the Bay.

[BabySealClub], When I next feel like being labeled an emotional terrorist. Seriously, look at [this] picture of Vista. She looks crushed and I've never been happier.

►BabySealClub
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
lol What do you have against Vista?

And for real though, can I get a Spheal of Approval?

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
Vista's cool. [Here's] a picture of her riding meganium that someone took today. I don't have anything against her, but she tries very hard to be all grown up and I think it's the most childish thing she can do.

There are times when life will ask that she steps up to be a hero. But other times, life just wants her to be a cowgirl riding a flower-dino and that's okay too, you know?

As for the Spheal of Approval (caps required), no. You may not. It is a sacred seal of virtue and glory that is bestowed by the Paragon of Arceus. None but the most magnificent of men may claim this honor.

*nods*

lol That's oddly deep. Fair enough. I endeavor to be worthy of that honor one day.

Woah, and here I was sitting around updating your wiki page, [Menagerie_Official]. Is my timing perfect or what?

Now, serious question. You move the tanker, right? If you're so powerful, why haven't you fought the gangs yet?

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
For a lot of reasons, but ultimately, it all boils down to me not wanting to fight. I don't understand why every cape seems to get it in their head that punching each other is the best way to make the world a better place.

Well, I don't. Panacea saves more lives in an hour than Armsmaster does in a month. At least. I just spent an evening making gardens for people in the city. How many people were living paycheck to paycheck and can now get things to eat for cheap?

Or with the tanker, how much more good can be done for the city if people just... stopped fighting? What if we developed the Graveyard? What if we invested in businesses and education?

Don't get me wrong, I don't fear fighting. I will if pushed, but ultimately, I look at this city and feel that I can do more good as a healer and civil servant than just another rent-a-cop.

►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
Oof, that makes a lot of sense. I just found it odd of you because you seem to be one of the few capes who are uniquely non-violent despite having a very combat-capable power.

On another note, you clearly have a lot of respect for Panacea. Is she the reason you're a hero?

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
I wouldn't say she's my reason, but she's definitely one of the heroes I look up to most, the others being Dragon, Masamune, and Uppercrust.

As I said, I respect people who make the world a better place, not just try to figure out how to make the biggest explosion.

Woah, nice to see you here, Menagerie! You fixed up my baby sister's broken leg so you're chill in my book.

Say, people have been saying you and Panacea get along really well. Like, really, really well. Better than any other cape besides Glory Girl herself. Any hint of a healer power couple in the future? ;)

►Coyote-C
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
lolol [Brocktonite03], not just capes. I go to Arcadia and Panacea's kind of a bitch.

I know, I know, she's supposed to be the super-healer and all, but damn if she comes off cold as ice. I don't know anyone besides her sister she talks to.

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
No, we are not dating. She's actually really funny in a snarky way when you talk to her though. As for the future, who can say?

Me. I can say. I say no.

Hehehe, messing with Panpan will never get old.

But yeah, we're just friends, guys. We happen to have pretty similar hobbies (besides healing). She did take me home on the very first night she met though...

►Point_Me_at_the_Sky
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
lol I can confirm. My sister definitely brought a boy home. Rode him all through the city, even.

[Panacea], you've gotten pretty far with him, you know.

Ooh, I've got another one. What's the cutest form you can transform into?

►Noveltry
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
Why do some of your Pokémon look cool while others look like your power ran out of ideas?

Like see, [here's] you as a big dino with flowers. Then [here's] you that's a... jar with eyes...?

[Specific_Protagonist], How 'bout you come find out? ;)

[Nevertime], Personally? I really like ninetales. It's a nine tailed fox (duh). Pretty sure it's sacrilege to be one in Japan or something lol

[Noveltry], I don't know? I mean, that claydol (the jar) is actually pretty powerful. I don't really have an answer for you except that pokemon can be pretty weird.

Okay, to get us back on track...

[Menagerie_Official], how did you move the tanker?

►AllSeeingEye
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
Also, what's your strongest form do you think?

►Menagerie_Official (Original Poster) (Verified Cape)
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
[Bagrat], I moved it with the power of friendship. By believing in the bonds between me and Arceus, I was able to muster aura, the light of my soul. I harnessed this divine light and moved the tanker.

[AllSeeingEye], I... don't know...? Garchomp? Dragonite? Metagross? Tyranitar? Hydreigon is definitely the most violent. I don't think I should do that anytime soon. Umm... Depends on how you define "strongest."

Like... fastest? Most physical power? What about weird magic effects?

►AllSeeingEye
Replied On Jan 20th 2011:
... You're serious... You fucking overpowered Eidolon wannabe...

How 'bout you start from the top?

Whoops, I think I've said too much. ;)

Guess that's all from me, folks. Menagerie out.
