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.))

[See, Dad, this is why he doesn't try and make friends. People are weird and confusing and chocobos are infinitely superior.]
I am not swooning over you. I was just trying to be friendly!
[He's kind of swooning.]
no subject
[Well, only mostly joking. In some circles being friendly actually means looking for a date.]
no subject
[Equius is now a little offended that Kamina doesn't want his number, but has no way to vocalize that. Stupid confusing friendships. He'll just try and start this over.]
Have you been in the city long, Kamina?
no subject
A year, give or take a few weeks. You?
no subject
[They heard there was a city full of crime that needed heroes, and so they came.]
Pretty crazy place, isn't it?
no subject
[He shrugs, and takes a sip of his drink.]
Half the crazy is trying to protect this place anyway.
no subject
[Equius flags down a worker and orders a latte, heavy on the milk, then sits in awkward silence until it arrives.]
Have you met any of the heroes?
no subject
[He's also one's sidekick, but he's not about to mention that when he's playing at normal.]
You haven't had much chance since you just got here, huh.
no subject
Not really, no. I've only seen a few, and haven't met any. There's a lot around, aren't there?
[He gazes off into space for a moment.]
You know what I'd like to see? An old fashioned hero who rode a horse. None of them ride horses anymore.
no subject
That said, it would be fucking awesome. You like horses, dude?
no subject
Do you like horses too?
no subject
[Dirk cracks a real smile.]
Hell, only thing better would be a horse-themed hero riding in on a magnificent equine.
no subject
That would be spectacular. Someone should do that immediately.
no subject
Too bad we don't have any old-fashioned heroes around. We'll just have to settle for the horse.
no subject
[The unspoken offer hangs in the air. Would you like to go ride horses with him, Dirk?]
no subject
[Dirk, that's not how you say yes to unspoken offers...]
no subject
no subject
[It's a date with horses and a cute guy. How can he resist?]
no subject
I don't.
[He stands up.]
Let's go.
no subject
Lead the way, brony.
[And because Dirk is a generous person, he doesn't even linger far enough back to watch Equius walk. That would just be awkward.]
