thirty-three | day of fools

[strike_you_out]

[At five past midnight, Slugger finds a letter waiting for him with a list of names. Reading through it, he then sighs a breath of relief. Unlike previous years in which receiving a list of names meant warfare, this time it meant fun.

Rereading the names, a nefarious grin spreads slowly over his face.

1246 Williams Road (locked to Firo)
It's 3:15 AM, just hours after the letters have been sent out, and Slugger has located the home of his first victim. Silent as a shadow, he slides through the hallway and peers into Firo's bedroom...

3474 Erwin Road (locked to Shadow)
It's a beautiful morning as Slugger makes his rounds delivering the daily newspaper. But for a certain resident of 3474 Erwin Road, he has a very "special" delivery. In the driveway of the home, he bashes a stink-bomb on the ground with his bat and --holding his breath-- rushes to teleport into the house where he will hide the bomb. Good luck finding it, Shadow!

1671 Nelson Street (locked to Olivier)
Having checked two names off his list, Slugger arrives at 1671 Nelson Street where he manifests within as if from thin air. In one hand he holds a container of spicy hot mustard which he intends to pour into Olivier's shampoo bottle. Smirking, he sneaks into the bathroom to implement his plan.

1335 Benny Road (locked to Gumi)
Evening has come and Slugger has located the home of his next victim. For this one he's decided to channel a bit of Halloween horror. Slipping a hockey mask over his face, Slugger waits quietly in Gumi's darkened bedroom, ready to rev up the chainsaw in his hands the moment the lights are switched on...

502 Ricardo Street (locked to Pokey)
It had been a shock to find Pokey's name on the list when he'd first read it. A year and a half ago, he would have sneaked into Pokey's home and scared the living shit out of him. But now, with the way things had changed and developed between them, he sneaks into Pokey's home and merely slips something beneath the sofa cushion. Beside it, he sits with a bag of chips waiting for Pokey to enter the room.

Around Mayfield
Between pranks Slugger may be seen throughout the day traversing the streets of Mayfield on his skates, a warped baseball bat at his side. If your character has Slugger as a prank and you haven't contacted me yet, please do so!]

3473 Erwin Road

[Wow. Shadow had thought he'd had it rough the last time he woke up from an unexpected droning, but this? Waking up not only in a new house altogether but in a house that smells horrible? Yeah, you can bet he's more than a little pissed off.

He begins to cough, fanning the air in front of him before bellowing out in frustration:]

Who's responsible for this?!

[strike_you_out]

[Slugger, who has made it out of the house by now, actually hears the shout from outside. It brings joy to his heart and a grin to his face.]

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

[Eventually, he moves to the window, opening it for an extended gasp of fresh air. And once the window's open, Shadow catches sight of the little prankster on his lawn. His eyes narrow.]

You.

[You had best get ready to run, Slugger.]

[strike_you_out]

[It's the grin that keeps on growing.

He waves to Shadow from the yard before reaching into his bag for a newspaper. Grabbing one, he winds up and pitches it toward the window.]

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

[The newspaper sails through the window and... seemingly through Shadow. For the hedgehog is no longer there, it appears.

Now he's right in front of Slugger, eyes glowing as he attempts to channel his inner Chaos energy into one concentrated burst.]

Whoever you are, you're going to regret this. No one makes a fool out of Shadow the Hedgehog and---

[But someone already has. For now the glowing red aura that had started to surround Shadow has suddenly disappeared altogether.]

[strike_you_out]

[Unsure what to expect, Slugger takes one step back and then another as the angered creature begins to glow. But when the red haze evaporates, he pauses.

Suddenly, he's the one glowing red. It seems that, whatever Shadow had started, has transferred over. Having no idea what it is, Slugger looks down at himself in a panic.]

What's happening??

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

Impossible...! My Chaos energy... How could you have possibly absorbed it?

[The more important question here is, how can Shadow get him to stop before a Chaos Blast is unleashed?]

Stay calm. Try not to panic.

[strike_you_out]

[And, like magic, he raises a hand for a better look at it when a bright flash of luminous energy explodes from the hand and into his face. It doesn't tear him asunder like he would have expected it to, but it certainly gives him a start. He flings the hand aside to keep it as far from his face as possible but the movement sends out another blast. A parked car across the street takes the hit and is destroyed in one blow.

Slugger still has no idea what's going on... but it's awesome. Fortunately, the red aura is beginning to fade.]

...Cool.

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

Chaos Blast...

[His expression darkens.]

How did you do that?
