While the villains are away...

[thalassino]

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.))

...yeah?

[Shrug.]

I mean no- only the really pretty ones.

[aim_exorable]

I'm covered head to toe in mechanized armor. You have no idea what I look like.

[rebull]

That an offer?

[aim_exorable]

How is it even- What part of 'secret identity' don't you understand?!

[rebull]

[Smile.]

[aim_exorable]

Stop that!

[Oh dear, he's getting more and more worked up by the second.]

I'm not going to fall for your charms! Or any variety of charms!

[rebull]

[Lifts his hands, tilting away.]

Okay okay! I was just lookin' at ya, heh, I wasn't doing anything. [A laugh.] Call me Lysunder, unless you really got a thing for Summoner. [Chuckles.]

[aim_exorable]

It was... Hmph.

[No, nevermind, that's dumb to say.]

Lysunder, then.

[rebull]

Well then Big - Shot, [A smile, pocketing his hands again and stepping back. His wings start to open, casting a kind of orange light all around him from various street lights and the like.]

It's been great workin' with ya. But I should really fly.

[aim_exorable]

[He'd like to encourage this, but- the way his name is said, making those lips all the more noticeable and how he's smirking-]

Say my name normally, thank you!

[rebull]

Big Shot~ [Chuckles, wings flicking open that last amount.]

Big Shot Big Shot~ I'll be sure to say it a lot more if I ever see you trotting around again. [Grins, putting a finger to his temple, his eyes lighting up a little, an orange ring glowing on his forehead.]

And I will see you.

[aim_exorable]

[Should he be aroused or creeped out- NO. WRONG QUESTION. Big Shot draws himself as high as he can go, chest held out and fists at his sides.]

I'll be sure to keep you in mind, you wretched hooligan.

[rebull]

Heh heh. Adios~ [Something he'd never say as his usual say, but here he's got some other influences, and it's kind of- fitting, isn't it.]

[With that, he's off, darting into the sky and outta sight.]
