10th Fifth - The Weight of the Universe on one man's shoulders. [AU Event!]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[With so many people acting different, it's likely people might miss some subtle changes.

The Captain is walking around town with an easy smile on his face and no smell of alcohol clinging to his clothes. He's sober, which does happen from time to time, though it's rare to see him so cheerful about it.

Also, he's in spandex. Dressed as Captain Universe, minus the mask. He has a cape as well, plaid with his trademark large black star painted in the middle.]

A) [Action | 950 Beulah Street]

[The Captain is doing chores around the house, getting the basics done and being generally friendly with his drone wife.

He'll also greet neighbors. All the while dressed in that spandex.]


B) [Action | Anywhere]

[He's around town, being generally cheerful. If you need help, he's actually offering a hand and not ruining the day by trying to save it.

Is your car stuck? Got something stuck in a tree? Got some other problem he can handle in passing? He'll stop and see what he can do.]


C) [Action | Pharmacy]

[He's still dressed funny, but he's doing his job right. If he doesn't understand something, he's passing it off to a coworker or drone worker.

He'll even make small talk with customers.]

[Tsubaki watches him with a huff as he rescues a cat from a tree. Once he's given it back to the drone owner, she'll walk up to him.]

Hey, I'm the one helping people out on this block.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[waves to the drone with a smile before turning to the yelling kid. What's with kids of this town anyways?

Was he this much of a punk at their age? Probably.]

It's okay, there's plenty to do around here. I'm sure you'll find something.

[best_weapon_ever]

Of course I will, I'm the best there is around here. I guess I should let you have this block then, that way you don't have get yourself all out of breath looking for people to help.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

That's kind of you kid. Though I think I'll keep an eye on your parts too.

Just friendly courtesy, of course.

[best_weapon_ever]

I guess I'll keep an eye on you, too. Just to make sure you don't pull a muscle and need some help getting to the hospital.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Thanks, that's considerate.

Just don't push yourself.

[best_weapon_ever]

Don't worry about me. The only one I'll be pushing is you, to the hospital, old man.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You know... I'm 27 years old right?

[best_weapon_ever]

You sure do look older. Maybe it's from all that drinking I've seen you do.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I haven't had much to drink in the past few years...

... and you're the second one to make a joke like that.

Are you sure you aren't just crazy?

[best_weapon_ever]

Crazy about being the best, sure, but not about everyone in town knowing you're habitually drunk. So go ahead and try to outdo me, but I'm sure your usually alcohol filled body will collapse soon enough.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Huh...

Yeah, I think you have me mistaken. You might want to go inside and rest. The town is probably getting to your head.

[He legitimately sounds concerned.]

[best_weapon_ever]

No, you must've hit your head a bit too hard after drinking. Maybe I should take you to the hospital.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I said I don't drink.

I'll walk with you to the hospital if you promise to sit down and let someone who knows what they are doing look at you.

[best_weapon_ever]

[She makes a face at him.]

Why would they be looking at me? I know I'm pretty interesting, but I don't need to go to the hospital for that.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Because you're memory has been messed with.

[He just line faces her.]

[best_weapon_ever]

[She just laughs.]

Look, buddy, I think you're the one who's memory has been messed with. This town can't screw with a big star like me that way. I'd break right through that kind of thing.
