[Miharu hasn't been heard from much during the grab-bag virus. That's because ever since, he's been throwing himself into being Kamen Rider Poseidon and failing miserably at it. Right now, he's fighting several monsters at once, and they quickly overpower him. He falls to the ground, transforming back to normal. But he's only got a moment to rest before he gets up and starts running, trying to get away from the monsters. When he's safe, he realizes that the community caught everything.]

I guess it figures that everyone would see that. I'm no Kamen Rider. I'm a failure.

I give up. I'm finished.

[Later, he can't be dissuaded from giving up. He walks past the harbor, holding the Poseidon Driver, ready to give it back to Kougami or throw it into the ocean.]

[Just then, a rift opens in the sky, spewing out Medals just like the Core Medals he uses to fight, all straight into his body. He screams in pain as his body starts glowing blue and the Medals on his Driver start glowing and then speaking.]



[The Driver then absorbs itself into Miharu's body, and water forms around him. He leans over, his eyes glowing and his voice distorted.]



[The video cuts off.]

[OOC: Miharu will only be able to answer to the first one, since he's possessed and evil in the second. Feel free to go omgwtf throughout the comments there!]

Well... that's a bad sign.

[aquaticrush]

This can't be happening again.

[of_many_treasures]

I'm going to head over to his world, to see if I can't get an answer. It might be too dangerous to talk to Miharu though...

[aquaticrush]

Maybe if a few of us come...

[of_many_treasures]

Are you certain you want to come along? It may be dangerous.

[aquaticrush]

I think this is at least partially my fault.

[of_many_treasures]

Your fault? Why do you think that?

[makewayforroze]

Are you alright? What happened?

[oceanicbreak]

I lost. Again. I thought I was getting better at fighting off these monsters, but they're too strong.

[makewayforroze]

That doesn't mean you aren't getting better. If you keep trying, I'm sure you'll be able to win.

[oceanicbreak]

I'm the last person they should have picked for this. I can't swim, I'm afraid of water, and there's no way I can be strong enough to save anyone.

[makewayforroze]

[So many people with water powers seem to doubt themselves.]

Who picked you? I'm sure they did it for a reason.

[oceanicbreak]

I was a last-minute pick. It was do or die--put on the belt or get killed.

[makewayforroze]

But you've kept fighting?

[oceanicbreak]

And I shouldn't have. When Kougami offered me the new belt, I should have told him to pick someone else, someone stronger.

[hunterofpeace]

Hey there, brother. It kind of looks like something happened.

[oceanicbreak]

I've been losing to the monsters in my world. I'm not strong enough to fight them.

[hunterofpeace]

You've been strong enough to survive, right? Killing something doesn't mean you're strong.

[oceanicbreak]

I've only barely survived so far. And most of that is from running away.

[hunterofpeace]

Even good fighting has some running!

[oceanicbreak]

It's all been running. I can't save anyone like this. I can't even save myself.

[hunterofpeace]

Then I guess you need a plan, huh?

[dualer]

You're not a failure, Miharu-kun... [ ... he doesn't know what else he can say to be convincing, though. in that position, he knows that he would be thinking exactly the same thing. he's so useless he can't even help a friend who's also insecure. ] A-are you okay?

[oceanicbreak]

No. I keep losing. I'm not strong enough.
