All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. The character, typically the hero, receives a Call to Adventure but at first refuses for some reason. Events then conspire to force them to accept the call, and in a good number of cases, the events in question hit home in a very tragic fashion. If this is the second (or further) iteration of a Hero's cycle, it isn't uncommon for the Hero to have forgotten his adventures, given up his Hero powers, or some combination of the two, deliberately or otherwise: this variant of the refusal is Can't Stay Normal. The term comes from anthropologist Joseph Campbell's analysis of heroic sagas it is a standard feature of such stories. (Others would have if they'd only gotten it!) Of course some heroes jump at the chance for adventure. See also: Achilles in His Tent, Leave Your Quest Test and The Drag Along.
Contrast Adventure Rebuff, where in Soviet Russia the Call Refuses You. In the second episode of Yes! Precure 5, when Rin is asked to become the second Pretty Cure, her response is "No thanks, I'll pass." Eventually, she is forced into it when Nozomi is in danger and Rin is the only one around who could save her.Also contrast We Are Not Going Through That Again that takes place at the end of a story where the heroes refuse to repeat their adventure when confronted with the possibility. Itsuki's the same way - Potpourri chose her to be a Precure, but she didn't feel she was worthy.She changes her mind when she sees how awesome it is (and when she sees Tsubomi get herself into trouble.) It happens in Heartcatch Precure in the same exact way, except Erika didn't want to because of other responsibilities.Karen, too, refuses to try again when her pinky catch breaks apart. Then, there's Yuri, the former Cure Moonlight.It isn't until her brother is turned into a monster that she takes it up.
