mayfield_rpg | 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.]

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?

[she nods, glad that he's ok with it.]

'This place'? Do you mean the Church?

Yeah, this whole set up can't really last, right? I mean no where is perfectly safe here, right?

That... depends? Unless every building in town gets destroyed like at the end of November last year, the Church is generally okay, I personally make sure of that. In fact, I come here and fortify the place myself if a large-scale happening occurs, like during Spring Cleaning and the Zombie outbreak last year. I do have a barrier here set up that doubles as an alarm, and from where the cross is on the roof, it's very easy to keep a surveying eye on the entire perimeter of Church grounds. [in other words, she can get this place pretty well safeguarded...]

[He wonders about that, but...]

Is it okay if I send people here next time ☠☠☠☠ happens?

[she nods with ease.]

Of course, though please let me know beforehand. This place has served as a 'safe' house before, but only when I see a demand and willingness to gather. We never know what may happen here, so it's best to stay flexible with our plans.

Yeah, I know how that goes.

My plans tend to never work anyways.

[She gives a small and sheepish smile.]

Please... It's just hard, to set up something concrete and have it really work out when the whole place is unpredictable. But if you're okay with it, then yes, feel free to contact me if you need help looking after people. Frankly, it's what I prefer doing, if something severe and dangerous that threatens everyone is to happen again here.

I've never been that great with plans. My last good idea involved punching a flying ship with my face.

I don't remember what happened next but I heard it helped a little, but didn't really matter.

...

[She'll chuckle faintly at that.]

I don't think something like that may happen here, but would you like some help next time, if it ever does?

If you can come up with a better plan in time, sure.

Usually my plans are just to buy time anyways.

I'll do my best. [She nods, beaming.]

Mm. Would you need anything else for the evening, Captain?

No, I'm fine.
