Issue #13: Big blastered bozos go to the beach

[boostedfailure]

[phone]

A lot of people have been calling for resistances and reforming super hero teams and all that, and while I've done that, I'm not really the team leader type. That and I'm on a team that's got both members. That being said, if anyone wants some basic "Don't get killed when things are horrible" lessons, I've got experience on that in spades and if you are all organizing, not getting killed sounds like a really good idea.

[Action 1] 1489 Kramden

((ooc: The bikini cannon that will be fired will not hurt anyone hit. It will just swap their clothes, which will be sent home or off camera or somewhere safe for retrieval later, with a string bikini of whatever color and design the player desires. That being said we have strict adherence to the comics code here! Or... Something like that. Also the cannon does not care if you are man or woman, it makes all suffer.))

[As Booster comes home he finds a box on the front steps labeled to him so he opens it and pulls out an odd looking rifle thing. Looking over it for a minute he shakes his head with a worried look and takes a breath. Sadly he sneezes at that time dropping the cannon which fires a shot down the street. This is the infamous bikini cannon, was your character hit, or did you just see it?]

[Action 2] The Streets of Mayfield

[It can be said that no wise man willingly seeks out Death. Booster Gold is no wise man. He also despite Ted being here, has been gifted with a unique way of taking out some of his frustrations that Ted stayed dead yet Bat family members can die every other Thursday and come back. Hell, some of them have frequent dier punch cards so he's out to put Death in a Bikini.]

Think she sells makeup door to door.....

[ Well this is not how Nanoha expected to end up, today! She gives up a little yelp of surprise at the draft as her casual clothes are whisked off to god-knows-where, but when she looks down at herself in the bikini... she has to admire the handiwork.

Now she looks off in the direction of the direction of the sound that preceded the clothes swap, laughing quietly. ] That is quite the weapon you have there.

[boostedfailure]

Erk! Would you believe they sent it to me with the safety off! I'm really sorry about that! Your clothes are probably back home.

[guiding_starlight]

[ She giggles. ] Given this town's propensity for playing tricks on us, I'm not surprised. [ He looked too guilty to be at fault; either that, or he was a very good liar. Either way, Nanoha doesn't seem too upset. Though she does wag a finger at him as she approaches. ] That means you should probably turn the safety on now, hm?

[boostedfailure]

Removing the power pack actually. That kind of was the safety, I'm just trying to remember how. The last thing this was active.... It wasn't active long.

[guiding_starlight]

It doesn't sound like an intuitive design. Is it a prototype?

[boostedfailure]

I think it was made on a dare actually. There were a lot of Three Stooges being watched that night, it's hard to remember.

[guiding_starlight]

It sounds like a lot of fun was had, regardless.

[ And there is something in her eye. A mischievous little twinkle; a feeling that makes its way to her smile. ] You know, they don't really sell anything like this in the shops here in town. In a way, you've done me a favor already, but I have another request if you don't mind, mister...?

[boostedfailure]

[There's a slight look of paranoia as Booster is used to sadistic lady types]

....I'm not shooting myself with it. But what?

[guiding_starlight]

[ It might not be the most innocent smile, but he shouldn't feel nervous. ] I have a couple of other "targets" in mind.

[boostedfailure]

Depends how much pain I'll end up in. Also I try to avoid the big hulking guy types, don't really want to see them in women's swimwear.

[guiding_starlight]

You could loan me the weapon, if you're afraid of that, but there should be zero pain involved. Just a bit of walking!

[boostedfailure]

No, I don't want it getting into the wrong hands.... Again. I don't mind a walk though.

[guiding_starlight]

Fair enough. Just a moment, then.

[ With a downward tilt of her head. ] Raising Heart, let's get ready to go.

⌈Of course, my Master. Set up, O.K.⌋ [ Comes the reply from the flashing red orb hanging from her necklace. ]

[ In a flash of light (and no naught bits shown, don't worry), Nanoha now stands there dressed in her Barrier Jacket, minus the staff and with no wings on her feet. She reaches up to check twintails and then smiles. ] There we go.

[boostedfailure]

Ah. One of those. Right.

[He nods a bit]

So what city are you working out of back home, haven't seen that style.

[guiding_starlight]

[ She tilts her head briefly at the commentary, before starting them on the path down the street. ] The Bureau's main office is situated in Cranagan, Central region, on the world of Mid-Childa. [ Nanoha is thorough because she expects no one else but those from home to know what she's talking about. ]

[boostedfailure]

Ah, ok. A Space corps like Legion. I'm familiar with guys like that.

[He nods a bit, the details are meaningless, but at least he has a better idea of what he's working with now]

I forgot to ask what he was wearing...

[guiding_starlight]

There might be some similarities. The world is far more advanced than Earth in my current time, much less this one. [ She looks around as they walk, eyes lingering on the various people who are very obviously not "from" Mayfield; their clothes, the yards they are standing in, and the vehicles or items laying about their houses, driveways, or in some cases even flying above their roofs. ] There is a lot of technology present here, and many magic users, but I've yet to see a lot of combinations of the two.

He's in his usual Booster Gold suit

[boostedfailure]

I'm from the 25th century myself. Not a lot of magic but the tech is rather well... Low tech. But I did most of my work in the 20th and 21st century.

o7

[guiding_starlight]

[ That earns him a curious look. ] ...time travel? Hmmmm. [ Someone is thinking about what to make of that. ] I suppose that term applies to all of us here, if this is really a city on some alternate Earth, as opposed to just a very convincing simulation, or a dream.

[boostedfailure]

No, I mean it was part of work back home. I did it.... Way too much. You wouldn't BELIEVE the number of people who think they can deal with the world not being theirs by going back in time and killing someone.

[guiding_starlight]

I can imagine. Fortunately, the Time-Space Administration Bureau has had rare dealings with anyone even capable of minimal distortions of that nature. You must have been dealing with some powerful groups. [ Especially to be able to discuss it so casually.

It looks like they've arrived at their first destination. 945 Beulah; The Suffersons. Nanoha stops at the foot of the front porch steps. ]

[boostedfailure]

Actually, its kind of hush hush, but you sound like you aren't from one of the known 52 multiverses of my world and no one from there would believe you if you said I was anything like that.

[guiding_starlight]

I believe there's little use for keeping secrets in a situation such as this. [ If she hadn't learned what she did about those staying in her house, for example, things would only be more tense. ]

[boostedfailure]

Pretty much, and I got the job cause of my terrible reputation so people from my world just aren't going to believe it.

[guiding_starlight]

[ Nanoha nods, not having much more to say to that. She doubts that anyone remembers anything going back home, regardless, but there is of course nothing to do to prove that theory at this time.

Nanoha raises her hand then, pointing to the door. ] I'm going to knock now. A woman will answer the door. When I step aside, that will be your signal to fire. [ She'll wait for acknowledgement before stepping forward. ]
