While the villains are away...

Seems like crime has taken a step up from just purse-snatching or someone stealing forty cakes when no one was looking. Those with a great sense of hearing or who happen to be at the wrong place at the right time will find that the good people of Vatheon are in danger. It's up to anyone who is willing to help to work together to save the day!




-Carol-

[In the lower district there were these warehouses lining along the barrier’s wall. One of them had a large neon sign with the words “Villains are here” flashing in lights. Anyone investigating the outside of the building will hear someone yelling for help.

Even if it’s obviously a trap, a hero must do their duty. And maybe clues about the real location of the nest of villains could be found.

The warehouse has been converted to a giant fun house with Indiana Jone’s Raiders of the Last Ark type traps. Getting help with navigating through this maze of traps and nurse themed goons would definitely be a good idea.

At the end of the maze, should people succeed, they will find Carol.]






-Hostage Hotel-

[A message will flash across the Starfish communicator asking for help.]

Help. At the Hotel they have guns

[Any messages sent in response will not be answered.

Seems that the city’s hotel has been taken over. The police are making a barrier and trying to negotiate, without any luck, with the crooks. They have the hotel owners and a their guests hostage on the top floor. They are armed, and very dangerous. Their demands include an escape route and a suitcase full of money.

Are you there to save the day or just get the scoop? Work together with the police or other heroes to save the day.]





-Like a bandit-

[There seems to be a burglar committing a string of crimes. They stole a rather large diamond from the jewelry store, money from the casino, and snatched a vase from an auction house. Thy only thing was a picture or a riddle for the scene of the next crime. The police are refusing to release the previous clues, but a reporter has managed to get a picture of the new message.]

What has branches and leaves and no bark?




-Anonymous Voice-

[A voice can be heard over everyone's communicator in the morning.]

There are twenty bombs hidden all over the city’s park. They will go off in a half hour. Find them before someone gets hurt.

[The caller might be using a synthesizer to disguise their voice, but locating them shouldn’t be a priority yet. Get those bombs out of the park before time runs out. Super speed or getting help would be beneficial for the ducks. Think of the ducks please.]



[They may also wind up stumbling or following a goon back to the actual secret base to listen in on a meeting at their own risk. Good luck!

((If you are open to being threadjacked, then please put Open in your subject line. If you have an idea already and want to play it out with a particular group of people, then please put Closed in your subject. Thank you.

Have fun playing out the scenarios, and feel free to drop a note in the subject line if Carol or the hotel owners are needed or if you believe characters may have solved the riddle! The location of the bombs is random and characters are encouraged to locate and defuse them on their own.))

[Clearly the most important thing is the pie. Case in point, there's like half a slice up there that Grit just walks up and takes. Taking a nice big bite of.]

Cherry? That bad of a day?

[c'mon, pecan pie, my man.]

[Saix gives a small twitch. He's pretty naive and sheltered in his... own special way, but even he knows that's gross.]

I fail to see what pie flavoring has to do with what just occurred.

...Is that normal?

[He's pretty new to city life, and actually dealing with other people besides his master and other creations like himself is a new experience. Maybe people getting covered in pie is just a part of life????]

[He is pretty sure it isn't, but it never hurts to ask.]

[Hey, it's fresh. Don't diss it.]

...Normal? Probably not. I ain't all that old here so I can't confirm nothing.

[He looks at him.]

Pie flavorin' has to do with a lot of everything. Trust me.

[And he finishes it off.]

C'mon, let's get you all nice and cleaned up.
croceamors: (twilightshards) (blank > It was a chorus so sublime)

[personal profile] croceamors 2013-07-18 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright.

[Fortunately, the memories this curse has given him have made Saix fairly willing to listen and go along with others, so he just shifts his attention to Grit. What, the guy probably trapped under the car? He'll be fine, probably.]

Who are you?

[personal profile] missiles 2013-07-25 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah it's not like it was thrown on him or anything, he's totally fine.]

Grit. Good to meet you.
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (classy < You're a lazy laugh)

[personal profile] croceamors 2013-07-25 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[The pie probably helped cushion him, or something. Saix isn't really focused on caring.]

Good to meet you... I suppose. I'm Saix. Where are we going, then?
missiles: (pic#3928790)

[personal profile] missiles 2013-07-25 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Exactly. He's fine.]

We should probably get you into the shower or bath or you're gonna smell like cherry pie...
croceamors: (spiralstarfall) (moron < Did I see you in a limousine)

[personal profile] croceamors 2013-07-25 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Most stores I've seen do not have either of those, so I assume we're going to wherever you live?

Unless you have a place you want to wash up, mine seems like the easiest.
croceamors: (twilightshards) (contemplate > So follow me down)

[personal profile] croceamors 2013-07-26 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yours would be best.

[Don't want to have to explain things to his roommate after all.]

Where do you live?
missiles: (pic#3815729)

[personal profile] missiles 2013-07-30 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Near the library... we're not too far from there, right?

[Right? Right.]

[Saix thinks for a moment- he's managed to memorize a map of this city, since it had seemed like a good idea to do so.]

No, we're not that far...
missiles: (pic#3815729)

[personal profile] missiles 2013-08-07 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Then we won't be too far away.

[He looks around and notices his apartment building.]

I don't have many clothes at my place that'll probably fit you so I'll wash yours while you're here.
