1st Fifth - A Hero's Got To Do What A Hero's Got To Do! [Event]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Back Dated to the 16th]


A) [Action: Beulah Street]

[The Captain is trying to cope with the sound.

His method of coping involved emptying his stock of whiskey.

He's wandering around the street, drinking from his last bottle and cursing at anything that agitates him. That dog, that curb he tripped over, the sun for being too bright, or whatever else he can blame for his misery.]


B) [Action: The Dairy]

[That's it. Enough is enough!

He flies at top speed, tearing through the air and driving straight towards The Dairy.

The impact is loud and sounds painful. The Dairy is unscathed as The Captain bounces off and tumbles a distance away. Knocked unconscious by the force of impact.]


C) [Action: Olney's Tavern]

[Eventually, The Captain will wake up and find his way to the one place he can go to drown away his problems.

Walking in, sitting down at the bar and ordering a drink. Not planning to stop until someone forces him out.]

[Poke. Poke poke. Get up Captain you are really heavy... Poke.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Grumble, grumble.]

Anyone see the guy... who hit me?

[He's waking up. Trying to blink away the swimming vision and the massive amounts of pain.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Oh good he was alive. Not that Lucas had really doubted it. The Captain gets a blast of Lifeup Gamma, which is conveniently enough to restore him to full health.

Or not depending on the whims of the player.]

I think you hit a building, Mr. Captain.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Wow, no more pain.

Well, no more impact pain. What are consequences?

That siren is still killing him, though.]

Why would I...?

Oh, yeah. Did I do some dama-...

[Looking at the building, and frowning.]

... Nevermind.

[a_gentle_boy]

C'mon. We should get out of here before you get in trouble or something...

B) [Action: The Dairy]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

You're pretty dumb, aren't you? [ Shana gives the Captain a little kick with her foot. }

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Man, he just wanted to lay there and pretend like this wasn't happening.]

What... go away... turn off the ☠☠☠☠ alarm when you go.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

I said get up! [ Another kick. ]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

What? Why did you...?

Oh.

[Sitting up and remembering his initial plan.]

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

What were you thinking anyway, Captain?

B

[icyidol]

[Okay, so here she is at the Dairy. She's got her Liquid Freezing Guns and is glowing blue, preparing to freeze her way in when she sees the Captain flying towards it.

...welp, scratch that plan. Looks like she won't be able to get in.

Though she is going to walk on over to the possibly injured man.]

That was stupid.

Re: B

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Getting up seemed hard enough, so he decided to sit rather than try to stand.

Having trouble focusing his thoughts on why his world was full of sirens, pain, future hangovers and someone insulting him.]

☠☠☠☠, did I win the fight?

[icyidol]

You didn't, obviously.

[Lesson learned: brick walls do not a good opponent make. Or Dairies.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Man, who did I...

Nevermind, who are you.

[The Captain put two and two together. Remembering his plan and seeing that the Dairy was still intact]

[icyidol]

[There's a brief crisis here when she hears that question. Should she risk it and tell him her real name or her superhero name, or should she just not answer him at all?

Then she remembers: he was flying. And, well...]

The name's Blue Rose. [She twirls one of the Freezing Guns around on her finger.] I'm usually one of the protectors of Sternbild, but since I'm here, I guess I'm one of Mayfield's instead.

[She places the gun to her lips, as if thinking something over, then adds:]

You can call me Karina, but I'd rather you didn't tell anyone else.

A

[1st_superhero]

[Gilgamesh, having already seen the scene at the dairy, is trying to sneak away from the angry mob that he believes will come after him within a few minutes.]

[Given that he has a) never been too attentive to things that he didn't consider to be his property and b) been cradling a headache the size of Uruk since he woke up in this place, he bumps right into the drunken man wandering around.]

I'm not the guy you're looking for!

[He waves his hand as he does that, trying to imitate the "Jedi mind trick" that he saw on TV. Immediately after doing that, he composes himself and takes a better look at the person he had bumped into.]

Wait...it's just a drunk bum...

[He sighs. It seems that he had wasted his efforts.]

Watch where you're going.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Hey!

☠☠☠☠ you.

You watch where you're going, how about that!

[The wittiest super hero ever.

Also, what was with waving his hand?]

You trying to fight me or something?

[1st_superhero]

[Gilgamesh just glances at the bum out of the corner of his eye before deciding to let the insult slide. After all, there was no fun or glory involved in beating up a bum.]

Nah. I only fight strong people. It's more fun that way.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You're dumber than you look.

Both of you.

[Wait, no, there's only one of them.]

I'm Captain ☠☠☠☠, so you better not go ☠☠☠☠ with this street or you'll punch your teeth out.

Or I'll punch your teeth out...

[Where was he going with this?]

[1st_superhero]

...Wow, that's a really creative hero name! I should use it from now on! Can you imagine it? Captain ☠☠☠☠ come to save the day!

Hm...from your accent, you're a New Yoiker, aren't you?

[He now has a funny look in his eyes.]

I wanna take you home! Just imagine it--my own New York bum named Captain ☠☠☠☠. You could keep Enkidu company.

[best_weapon_ever]

[Tsubaki cringes at the thud of the captain hitting the dairy wall. When he doesn't move after hitting the ground she rushes to his side.]

Sir, are you all right?

[She thinks about what the nurses told her when she trained to help out at the hospital, and hesitates for a moment before reaching out to feel for a pulse. Even then, she stops short, there's no need to check for a pulse, he's breathing. Instead, she shakes him.]

Sir?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I'm gonna call out of work today.

[He grumbles but doesn't get up. Closing his eyes hard, as if it'll block out the sound and pain.]

[best_weapon_ever]

[He's talking, that's good.]

Maybe we should get you to the hospital.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Hospital?]

☠☠☠☠... it's not alcohol poisoning this time, I swear.

[He's going to slowly force himself awake and even sit up to try and prove this point.]

Where am.... Oh.

☠☠☠☠, it didn't work.

[best_weapon_ever]

Oh, I wasn't talking about alcohol poisoning, but you might have a concussion, but if you were drinking you should definitely get checked out after that, uhm, tumble.
