7th Fifth - He ain't no Superman [Event End!]

[The Captain is not so super right now.

April Fools did a number on him. Also, he needs to stop being so gullible.]

A) [Action | Locked to 950 Beulah Street]

[The Captain is on a rampage. He’s torn ups his room, and every closet in the house. Tossing things aside and yelling curses.

Also, you might notice he has a few cuts on his hand. The Captain doesn’t get cuts, he’s invulnerable.

This is the start of a very bad day.]

B) [Phone | Unfiltered to everyone]

Okay, who the ☠☠☠☠ took Special bear?

And don’t play dumb, it’s the damaged stuffed bear I locked away in my home.

Speak up or, when I find you, I am tearing your house apart.

C) [Action | Anywhere]

[The Captain doesn’t look too good. His knuckles are bloody and a few of his fingers are bent funny.

Someone just learned he’s no longer invulnerable.

So he’s trying to be extra cautious, but just ends up being more accident prone for it.

The later in the day you find him, the more scuffed up, roughed up, bruised and battered he may seem.]

D) [Action | Night – Any street | Closed to the first person who tags]

[The Captain has had enough of this, time to fly.

Only, instead of a running take off, he just runs and jumps.

Into the street.

Apparently invulnerability isn’t the only thing he lost.

Which is real bad considering he just jumped in front of a moving car.

Are you a witness or are you the poor driver?

Either way, the accident looks pretty ugly.]

That's the explanation on why you've lost abilities. [She gives a small nod.] ...Would it be possible to ask you to try paying attention more to details in the future? You should be able to hear and see an approaching car at night, the accumulation of small precautions can go a long way in the end.

I guess I'm going to have to.

Unless I learn to like bleeding to death...

[Which, for as much as he hates himself, he doesn't.]

Just please be more considerate of your own health and take more care in the future. For tonight, it's a relief that I happened upon you.

[she pulls herself back, done with the overall checkup too now.]

I think I've done all I could. You may still feel sore, but eat and rest properly for the next few days and you should be back to normal before you know it. Does it still feel unusual, anywhere else?

No, I think that about does it...

[She's one of the many healers that have aided him since he came here. Also...]

Sakura keeps coming back here, and she keeps forgetting.

[She's the only one he can think of that even knew he was friends with the kid.]

[A small nod of acknowledgment, and...

She quietly looks back. There isn't any surprise, but she seems to have understood something right away the moment the Captain brought that topic up.]

Mm, I realized. [a beat.] You spoke to her recently. How... did it go?

About as good as it did the time before.

I should probably stop bugging her when she's coherent, it proably doesn't help.

[She's holding back a sigh.]

It's not that. Matou-san, she...

[...]

Truth to be told, I haven't really tried speaking to her since she left us the first time either. It's because there's a difference now. When she woke up in my house for the first time, she was alone from her world. Since then however, that changed. All these other times, her sister and her most trusted friend are also here when she returned with no memory of this town. It's probably why... She may not have been as pressed to meet new people as much as before.

Pressed to meet new people...

[Well, then.]

Got it. Thanks.

I owe you for this by the way. Uh, I guess call if you ever need someone to help you lift something.

[He knows how strong she is, that's not likely.]

[As much as she would've preferred telling soothing lies, this may be one case where there's no two ways about it. She'll probably speak to this Matou Sakura on her on at some point, ask her if she wants her bow back if nothing else, but she also can't deny the small tug of selfishness deep down that wants to keep it, in memory of "the" Matou Sakura that likely will never return again.

...]

I'm sorry, and it's okay. [She offers a soft smile at that.] Hehe, I'll keep that in mind, and likewise, please don't hesitate to call or come here in person if you get injured in the future.

I'll try not to get injured, thanks though.

[Sullen, but not angry or even able to be sad at the moment.]

I'm happy to hear that. You can rest here for the rest of the night if you want, there's food and water in the kitchen also. May I get you anything else, Captain? [She'll continue her best to support, in the meanwhile.]

You're too ☠☠☠☠ kind sometimes, you know that?

[That's actually a compliment, or a bad attempt at one.

Then at the request to get him something.]

A fifth of whiskey?

Geez... I'm just trying to do what I can to help. It's hard for everyone, isn't it?

[...She gives a small smile anyway.]

This is a church, Captain. The only alcohol I have is communion wine. ...If you don't mind that though, I could make an exception for just this once. You can't tell anyone else though, if you accept!

Everyone has it tough, including you, probably. Isn't it a little tough always being the good person?

[What little he knows.

Also, he is not too picky right now.]

Wine is fine, thanks.

I have good friends who would go to great lengths to help me, too. We can't live alone here, you know?

[Beaming, she nods.] I'll go get you a bottle right away. There's a bathroom right next to this room, so feel free to use it too. If you'll excuse me, then?

[He's wondering about that alone part.]

Thanks.

[He ought to start realizing the truth, hopefully soon.

With a nod, she'll disappear for a few minutes, before coming back with a bottle and a glass.]

Here. ...Will you be spending the night, by the way? You're welcome to, and go back home once it's morning.

[Taking the drink.]

I think I will, I don't feel amazing today and I don't feel like walking that far.

[She chuckles quietly.]

Then please treat this room as your own. If you're staying, I'll also have to insist that you get something to eat before you leave tomorrow. Can you estimate how long do you think you will rest for?

Just overnight. I'll take care of myself by morning.

I'd still like for you to pass by the kitchen and get breakfast, Captain! It's okay if you can come on your own, but don't leave on an empty stomach!

I'll take you up on that. Thanks again.

[She's been exceptionally nice.]

...Mm, I'm glad to hear that, and you're welcome. There's a bathroom right next to this room, I'll bring you a pitchet of drinking water too just in case. [and some pills maybe, in case of headaches and hangover in the morning...]

That's probably a good idea.

Hey, how often does this place go down when bad ☠☠☠☠ happens?
