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]

Sure.

So... what's your house like now?

[a_gentle_boy]

((*come in))

It's me and Mr. Silence, still. My friend from home, Kumatora, arrived a month or two ago, though!

I don't know if she's around right now.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Kumatora? That a guy or a girl?

[Not sure if they are around? Kinda like his house.]

And Silence? Who has a name like Silence?

[a_gentle_boy]

She's a she.

Mr. Silence has been living with me for a really long time now. ...He's, um. Kind of mute.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Oh.

And now I see why they call him Silence.

I'd hate to be mute.

[a_gentle_boy]

It works out. I'm a little psychic, so I know what he means most of the time. I feel like we're pretty close because of it, too.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

That's good. I don't know what I'd do about a mute guy.

Probably buy them a drink and try to go all night without talking.

[a_gentle_boy]

...Um.

We talk through pieces of paper sometime.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Oh...

Yeah, you can probably do that.

[Writing conversations isn't really an option for The Captain.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Somehow, Lucas has still never cottoned on to this.]

It's not that weird. You don't have to sound like it's something awful.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Sorry about that, just not any good with mute guys.

I never know what the ☠☠☠☠ they are waving their hands at me for.

[a_gentle_boy]

I think that's an actual language, Mr. Captain.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You're ☠☠☠☠ kidding me, really?

I thought they made that ☠☠☠☠ up for the movies.

[a_gentle_boy]

Well. I don't know any, but I'm pretty sure it's a real thing.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Holy ☠☠☠☠, now I kinda feel like a jerk.

Okay, let's introduce me to this guy and I'll do my best to get along.

[a_gentle_boy]

I will! ...I'm not sure if he's at home right now, but I'll introduce you sometime for sure.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah.

Seriously, I am pretty sure I piss off every four thirds of the people I meet here.

[a_gentle_boy]

[Every four-thirds... Lucas thinks for a few moments.]

I think that would be more people than you've actually met, Mr. Captain. And you don't piss off me!

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I've met a lot of people. I used to live in the city.

Yeah, but most don't give me the time of day.

[a_gentle_boy]

Why not? You're a superhero, right?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, but most of them don't seem to care.

Some of them are crazy though, so maybe it's for the best.

[a_gentle_boy]

Hm... You probably just only meet the people who haven't heard about you. I bet you have a lot of fans somewhere.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Somewhere... maybe.

The Captain lets himself buy it though.]

Yeah, I probably do.

It's tough, traveling a lot, to pay attention.

[a_gentle_boy]

[Somewhere like beyond the 4th wall.]

That's right. You can't have much time to spend out and around normal people...

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You're right. Besides, the last time I spent a day around normal people, I got arrested.
