[You've probably seen this kid running around for the last two weeks, shrieking excitedly when he notices you're a human being (or fish person, or troll, or whatever; he's pretty excitable). But it's only now he attacks the network, all smiles and cheer.]

Holy SCHMAO, you guys, I've never seen so many humans! This is amazing! Where I'm from-- well, my name is Finn, first off! Finn the Human, from the land of Ooo! I'm basically a knight there, it's pretty great. I fight evil and stuff with my brother! But I'm the last human being ever, and I've never seen any others before-- but here you all are! Which is awesome!  We should all get together and talk about human stuff. What do you eat? Do you like bacon pancakes? What about--

[Oh wait no he had a message here. Finn takes a breath and adds:]

Anyway, uh-- I know things are kind of bumslops right now, but, uh, you gotta just keep your chin up! Sometimes being a hero means nobody likes you very much, or they think you're wrong, or even making mistakes. But as long as you're trying to do the right thing, you're all right!

Oh, and-- if anybody needs lessons in being a hero, I'm totally free. I've got, like, a billion years experience in it.

Exactly! You've got to look on the bright side! It doesn't mean you're being unrealistic, just that you're focusing on the good and not all the bad.

Though what does a hero do when he's the guy who ate the last cookie from the cookie jar?

He totally runs away. Orrr maybe he should try to make more. But mostly he runs.

Those are some intense heroics! Or aerobics. Maybe both at once!

perma video from him!

[the_human]

BOTH. I'm super good at flips and junk, wanna see?

this combination forever!

[whatsupcroc]

Yes please! I'd love to!

[the_human]

[OKAY. He puts the camera down on his dresser, beams at it, and takes a few steps back. A crouch-- and then he does a flip, yelling happily as he does.]

[whatsupcroc]

( She claps enthusiatically! )

So amazing! You're such an athlete!

[the_human]

[JLKFA oh my god. He grins so widely.]

My brother taught me most of that!

[whatsupcroc]

You have a brother? I do too! He must be a cool guy!

[the_human]

He's totally cool. What's your brother like? Mine's older.

[whatsupcroc]

Mine's older too! He's in the military.

[the_human]

Woah. Is that like being in the army?

[whatsupcroc]

It's exactly the army! That's the branch of service he's in, instead of something like the Navy or Marines or Air Force.
