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.]

Comments

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, that'd make sense.

Now go wander off to the hospital before you die or something. I'm not cleaning up your corpse.

[1st_superhero]

Don't worry. I can't die.

[However minor of a god he was, he was still a god and therefore immortal.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, I heard that one before.

People aren't as impossible to kill as they think.

Luckily, this town will bring you back.

[1st_superhero]

Oh, so you mean this place comes with a reset button? That's good to know.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Kinda. You remember it but you're back again.

Which means anyone you kill comes back too.

So you can't really punish the bad guys.

[1st_superhero]

Oh well, I'll just beat them up whenever I catch them doing anything bad then.

[All stories needed a couple good recurring villains. It wouldn't be fun otherwise.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You should probably go find some place to hide. you don't look tough enough for that sort of thing.

[1st_superhero]

Hey! What do you mean 'don't look tough enough?' I'll have you know that Aruru herself designed this body!

[hisnameisthecaptain]

A who what now?

[1st_superhero]

You know, Aruru? Mami? Nihursag? Sumerian fertility goddess? One of the seven greatest gods in Mespotamian mythology?

[And his grandma.]

Just take my word for it that she designs perfect bodies, okay?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

No, she one of those sex gods?

Also... are you a robot?

[1st_superhero]

Not really, no. More like childbirth or plant fertility.

Nope--I'm 2/3 divine and 1/3 mortal.

[Though he's not quite sure of it nowadays. Did becoming a minor god remove his mortal side or not?]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

So, like Thor, but less cool.

[1st_superhero]

...I'm cooler than Thor.

[Honestly, did Thor have mad scientist death rays in his closet?]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Oh yeah?

Prove it.

[1st_superhero]

How? What do you wanna see?

[He has a whole bunch of tricks that he can show off.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

How about you fly and strike down an entire building to start?

I mean, Thor could kick some serious ☠☠☠☠.

[1st_superhero]

Sure! Just show me which one.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[He points to an all drone house.]

Give it your best shot.

[1st_superhero]

Okay!

[He notices something wrong the second he starts throwing his punch. For one thing, his body feels much weaker than it usually does. This is confirmed when his fist connects with the structure of the house with an audible crunch. The house is not damaged beyond a small dent in the wall, but Gilgamesh's hand is now bruised and bloody. He frowns as he examines his hand.]

...Ow.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Oh yeah, I guess no one told you the town takes all your powers away.

[Picks up a rock.]

Don't worry though, you'll get them back.

[He throws the rock into the air... and it keeps going.]

[1st_superhero]

...That sucks.

[That's all he can say. For someone who has gotten used to having powers, it would take a while for him to adjust to not having them. However, maybe this could be a chance to see how the non-powered populace lived? He had always wanted to try, at least once, at being normal...]

Cool, are you a superhero bum or something, Captain ☠☠☠☠?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I'm not a bum, I'm a superhero.

I probably make more than you here too.

So ☠☠☠☠ you.

[1st_superhero]

Why do you look like a bum then?

Wait, you mean you have a job here?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

☠☠☠☠ you, my clothes are cool.

Why do you look like a nut job?

And yeah. All the adults have jobs.
