[Pros to being a senior: you're not required to take pretty much anything other than english. He can take two different science classes about animals. He never has to touch calculus ever again. The world is his damn oyster. Studying isn't actually too difficult, but Silver's pretty diligent about it anyway. ...It's pretty uncharacteristic of him, really; he's quick to skip school and sleep in classes, and is much more often found causing trouble than caring about school. Well, he has to pass somehow, and apparently that's going to be by nailing his finals perfectly.
Of course, there's only so long that he can diligently read up in the library; his laptop's already opened on something else entirely. He's switching between apartment hunting and, uh. Writing his name on the network in his notebook, apparently. He thinks he has the kanji for it figured out? He's not entirely sure.
Eventually, he looks up at Shouto.]
So if you became a superhero, what would you call yourself?
[Shouto is still a Junior and needs to pass. He's actually good at most of his classes and everything, but he's not about to let complacency take hold. He's not aiming for a college stint, but maybe the grades will be good for something. Who knows.
He's in the middle of working out calculus when the question hits.]
It doesn't have to be, but it's probably not a bad idea. You won't have to worry about the government trying to control you or people trying to take revenge on your family.
[You know the cute little fire enemies in maria? Silver's trying to draw one of them, but half ice and half fire instead of a fire friend. One side fiery, one side jagged and icy.]
You're gonna need some symbolic thing to wear on your costume, right?
[...Maybe this is cutting it close. He'll erase the eyes and hope the fire ice ball still looks at least vaguely like that. ...Color would probably help.]
...If you get the half and half hair back and aren't feeling it, I can help you dye it.
[At least his hair... Probably isn't weird? He takes some of his hair out of his face to look at it for a moment- it's definitely way brighter of a red, but at the same time, it's... Probably just hair dye? Maybe? Why stick with red, then?]
It's strange, isn't it? Getting the hallucinomemories is one thing, but...
I don't mind changing as a person. That's just part of life. You grow and adapt.
[He taps his pencil on his notebook. He's already done plenty of changing just in the past month- and none of it's been particularly easy or pleasant- but that was all on his terms. ...Mostly.
Damn.]
But I want to decide the person I become, not get tugged along for the ride.

Does it have to be a secret identity?
no subject
...Or getting fined for property damage.
[Why don't comics ever address that part?]
no subject
[There's a moment or two as he considers it.]
Depends on the kind of hero. Some of them work with the government. [And he would sell his father to anybody for one (1) corn chip.]
... Shouto.

Why your name?

I like my name.

[He's pretty sure that's way more direct.]

[...Speaking of icy and hot, that gives him an idea, and he starts doodling in his notebook again.]

[He'll finish up the math problem he was working on.]
What are you doing?

no subject
[He'll lean over and look at it. The only word that comes to mind-]
Cute.
no subject
[...Well, it's true. He doesn't seem too bothered at it being called cute, though. In fact-]
You could use some cute to soften your image. Have you seen your face?
[Said the guy that also makes two expressions.]
no subject
[Even with the antenna nonsense.]
Have you seen yours?
[He's not even trying to be mean, he's just unfortunately blunt.]
no subject
[...It looks like he's toying with sketching some stupid outfit now.]
I'd cover as much up as possible if I were a hero, so I don't have to worry about something like that.
no subject
So apparently I have the same naming taste as alternate me. Also, my hair looks weird. Why would I dye it half white?
no subject
...Maybe you really do have a fire and ice theme going.
[One icy white side and one fiery red side, right? Maybe he's going to need to tweak his sketch here.]
Are you okay?
no subject
[Wait don't people get things like that back. What if he gets the hair and his mom starts wondering when he started to rebel?]
... I'm fine. Bracing myself for some weird changes.
no subject
[At least his hair... Probably isn't weird? He takes some of his hair out of his face to look at it for a moment- it's definitely way brighter of a red, but at the same time, it's... Probably just hair dye? Maybe? Why stick with red, then?]
It's strange, isn't it? Getting the hallucinomemories is one thing, but...
[It's kind of like changing into someone else.]
no subject
[But that's a big if, isn't it? He drops his pencil and pushes the work away from himself for the moment.]
Yeah... It's like we're turning into them. Or something like that.

[He flips his hands over and looks at them. His don't look that different from his double's.]
The way we're being forced into change. That isn't.

Let's go.
