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.]

[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.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Concussion?... I didn't even leave a scratch on that building.

[Though he hit it hard enough to demolish a normal one, so that's not saying he avoided hurting himself.]

I'm fine, I'm a super hero.

I think... I think I just need to take a nap and sleep it off.

[best_weapon_ever]

But you did hit it pretty hard, I don't think anything could make a scratch in it.

Can you stand?

[She holds out a hand to help him up, after all, someone needs to take care of the superheros, they usually tended to forget they had weaknesses, too.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

The town likes to cheat like that.

Yeah sure I can...

[He takes her hand and finds it a lot harder to stand up than he expected.

It might be the booze, or the blow to the head.]

... I'm having an off day.

[Excuses.]

[best_weapon_ever]

[She nods.]

We all have days like that, but at least let me make you some tea. I have one that helps with headaches.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I am not a big fan of tea.

Had some bad experiences.

[He isn't a tea guy.]

Got any whiskey at home?

[best_weapon_ever]

A compromise seems like it'll work best here.]

How about coffee then, with just a little bit of whiskey in it?

[She knows Tony has some sort of alcohol around the house somewhere.]

Oh god, she's starks daughter?!jlkdfjal;sdjkfl;asjdfkl;asdjfl;

[hisnameisthecaptain]

That I can do.

[Sure, whiskey and coffee. Though his idea of a little bit is very different.]

So, how long have you been stuck here?

Yes, yes she is XD

[best_weapon_ever]

Ive been here since mid October of last year.

[Once he looks stable on his feet, she'll start leading the way back to her house.]

What about you?

He needs to steal all of Stark's booze!

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[He'll follow, because he's not in the right mind as of yet.

Also, there was promise of whiskey.]

I first came here in March. Not last one, the one before.

Should Black*Star join them? He can beat some sense into the Captain if need be...

[best_weapon_ever]

[She nods.]

You've been here a long time then, have you ever gone home? I've heard some people have gone home and been brought back.

Up to you. The Captain never really learns either way

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, once.

I missed most of one summer here. Not that it mattered.

[Walking along.]

He might join, I'll poke Mark when he gets online later

[best_weapon_ever]

That a long time to be gone for. I wonder why they do that.

[She'll slow down as they get to her street, and lead him inside to the kitchen.]

No problem

[hisnameisthecaptain]

☠☠☠☠ if I know.

I've been fighting them for a while. I doubt they even notice.

[He's easy to lead along, going inside to the kitchen.]

[best_weapon_ever]

Why don't you sit down while I get the coffee started.

How's your head feeling?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Like I got hit by a truck.

Don't skimp on the whiskey... in fact, bring the bottle over too.

[best_weapon_ever]

[She assumes he's joking and laughs quietly as she puts some ice into a dishtowel.]

I won't forget the whiskey, but why don't you put this on your head for now, it might help.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Put's it on his head. Listening to her instructions. He's not the best at caring for himself.]

So, who lives here that stocks whiskey? Is it that Crowly guy? Or maybe Booster?

[best_weapon_ever]

[She pauses her search through the cupboard of alcohol and turns to him.]

Mr. [A pause as she corrects herself, he'd said to call him by his first name.[ Tony Stark.
