A fire flower blossoms from within

Who: Bloom and You~
What: Bloom being a hero while at the same time trying to understand her powers.
When: Throughout the week.
Where: All over the city.
Status: Open~
Style: Whichever you like. But starting with brackets

[Bloom had just taken care of anther criminal, making sure she watched as they took him away in a police car. It was a nice thing to do, at least to her, it meant another job well done. But deep down, Bloom still didn't have the answers she wanted. Giving a smile to the police officers, who thanked her, she waved them goodbye as they left, criminal in the back.

Once she was alone, she started to walk, at the same time making a fireball appear in her hand while she though. How did she get these powers in the first place? It was a question she came here to find the answers to, one that she didn't even have a single link to find. But never the less, she was determined. Watching the flame from her palm, she soon closed her hand slowly, making the flame disappear as she did.

Never the less she knew they were useful, even if she had no idea where they came from and they were here to help others, that she believed in and that was the truth she knew. So with a smile, she looked around. She was sure there would be other crimes going on. She just had to find them.]

Never fear, the Fire Flower is here!

The Fire Flower? Is that your name? [Yes, he has just been watching you wield your flame and is rather impressed. In fact, the whole situation about Vatheon changing and super heroes popping up, cause him to frown in thought.]

I am assuming you fight for good against the evil, which has shown up within this city?

_{[Grimmjow on the other hand was on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was by no means a hero, nor would he try and pass himself off as one. At the same time, he wouldn't come to the aid of his fellow villains. Instead, he opted to watch from the relative safety of a tree near the park in the form of a massive white feline similar in shape to a Jaguar.

It never hurt to keep an eye on some of these would-be heroes, especially now that he had the aid of a list given to him by Medica. Of course he didn't have it with him; he wasn't that stupid to carry something like that around on his person.

Still... This marked down one on that list. She had powers too, just like that Vine woman he encountered in the alley the other day. That... could end badly.]}

Can't you people come up with somethin' a little more imaginative?

_{[His voice was distorted, almost as if he were speaking underwater or into an empty room but there was no mistaking it. Although his mouth didn't move, he definitely just spoke. An animal spoke. Totally normal, right?]}

I wouldn't call it my name. It's kind of a work in progress.

[Well, that was awkward. She wasn't expecting someone to pop up.]

But I do fight for the good side no matter what.

[Bloom had just been keeping an eye out for anything distinctly not normal and considering where they were, most things were on that list. But a talking animal was rather high up, that is if Bloom could of figured that out.

Instead, she carefully looked around. That standing feeling of being watched, the hair on the back of her neck was rising.]

Whose there?

Curiosity kills the cat, doesn't it?

_{[He had no issue with making himself known; just to give her a helping hand, Grimmjow moves to sit on his haunches and snorts, a long tail slipping down to further give away his position. This woman wasn't that Mistress Vine chick, but she'd make do for some decent entertainment as far as curiosity went in his book.]}

Try looking up, Flowergirl.

What?

[Was she talking to herself or?? Because for all Maka is trying to ignore the weirdness now happening in the city (and her own house even) it just keeps popping up to remind her.

That and the fact that she can't even go around without running across some crime that tries to force her to participate in the ridiculous comic book shenanigans.]

Do heroes never realize how truly terrible they sound~?

[Oops, that sure is a voice seemingly coming from nowhere.

Or maybe the person speaking is just very... small.

That would be it, because it's not a person, but a very small blonde-furred Fennec fox, it's bushy tail tipped with pale green, and disturbingly blank bluegray eyes staring up at the girl]

I think it's a well thought out name, regarding being a hero for the city. I have heard that some bad guys have appeared, so we need our superheroes to defend the city. [Yep, he'd come to understand that Vatheon had changed.]

I wouldn't call myself a hero either, I'm just a girl looking for answers to questions. I just thought helping people might lead to towards that.

[That's how she felt anyway, she was doing this to help people, to make them feel safe.]

Hmm.

[Why is she saying that to him-? Oh. It's probably because Saix is holding a man in his hands and was in the middle of knocking him unconscious with his fists, so this probably looks bad. Nevermind that, technically, the man was a mugger who tried to jump him first.]

[He really should listen to Axel and try to slim down the unadulterated violence he uses in his crimefighting. At least he didn't throw a car at this one.]

[Saix doesn't drop the man, and just narrows his eyes at Bloom. He's honestly just trying to think of what he should say.]

[She did as she was told, somewhat nervous about what she was to expect, after all she didn't honestly know what to expect.

The moment she spotted the person, or creature, she can honestly say she was rather surprised.]

Considering curiosity is always a thing that helps people find answers, it doesn't always kill the cat. Though, it's quite an interesting trick you do.

[She turned around. It was true she had mostly been talking to herself because she thought she had been alone. So all the young girl could do was laugh slightly.]

My apologizes, I was just thinking out loud.

[Bloom was pretty certain that this was the second time that someone spoke to her without revealing who they were right away and she recalled who the first guy was. Though when she spotted the small furry creature, she knelt down. Sorry, but you are sort of cute looking.]

I'm not exactly a hero, I'm just a helper of sorts. [She feels awkward talking to a fox.]

[She isn't sure what to think and to be honest that does look somewhat bad, but before she can jump to conclusions it's best to talk.]

What is going on here?

Many people are looking for answers as to why Vatheon has changed and why these superheroes have shown up. Of course, I am not against good triumphing over evil, I just want to know why.

Oh, that's okay. [Formality, what's that? Maka offers her a friendly smile to show that, yes, she is not going to suddenly engage her in a big superhero battle.] Did you say your name was Fire Flower? That's pretty...but not necessarily easy to remember, I have to admit!

[Yeah he knows he is. He's okay with this, strangely.]

Even for a helper you sound ridiculous.

[Sorry he can't be nice and cute at the same time.]

It hasn't always been like this? [She felt like in her mind, this is the way it has always been, for as long as she could remember.]

That's not my real name, but one I guess I would use so bad guys couldn't find me. My birth name is Bloom.

[She smiled, she feels somewhat calm, so currently she feels she can at least let down her defenses.]

I'm sorry to hear that. I am still practicing.

[She laughs slightly. Yep, not nice, but at least she knows not to do it again.]

Ah, Bloom, that's pretty too! My name's Maka, it's nice to meet you. [She looks down at herself and laughs, again with the modest attitude.] As you can see, I'm not a super-anything, so I don't really have a clue what's happening. But if bad guys bug you, you can ask me for help!

It's nice to meet you too. [She smiles, it's true that really Bloom doesn't think herself as a superhero, just someone who came here to find herself.]

Ah, thank you, but I can somewhat handle myself. Though this place is much bigger than what I'm us to.

No, it hasn't. Vatheon is an underwater world with lots of different people living within it. This has only recently happened. [Why it happened, he had no idea.]

That's odd. [It didn't sound like anything she heard before. This was what it always was, wasn't it?]

I'm beating him until he's unconscious.

[...Probably not helping.]

For a good cause.

Perhaps you should practice something better? There's nothing wrong with going against the standard. Especially if the standard is terrible.

I don't understand how beating someone is for a good cause.

[It just doesn't make sense.]

I don't think there was standards here to begin with, was there?

Aren't there always standards to hero-ing? Granted most of them seem entirely ridiculous.

By making him incapable of moving, I am also making him incapable of committing any more crimes, such as assault and theft.

I haven't broken his legs, however. I've been told that's "overkill".

I'm not sure on that one, I always assumed there were some standards, just how a lot of them.

[She sighed slightly.]

There is such a thing as prison you know. You could just take him there.

That would be the long term plan. Right now I'm focusing on the short term so that the long term can be carried out.

Why don't I just take him in. It saves you the trouble and avoids him being anymore beat up than he already is.

I like to observe people, even the ridiculous ones. From what I've seen there are standards, yes, but the majority revolve around being as obnoxious and noticeable as possible.

Oh, I didn't know that. To be honest I wouldn't meant to be as noticed as people might think.

Ever the background support, never the hero? Well I suppose if you're content with such a blase existence, there's nothing more to be said.

No, more I have things I need to find. I'll help if nessissary, but it's not on my to do list.

Things you need to find?

An... Understanding could be a better word for it.

An understanding of what, exactly?

An understand of who I am. My fast, why I have what I have in the first place. So many questions that I have very little answers to.

Is the past really so important, though?

For me, yes. Too understand a lot of things the past is something one should know.

And standing around shouting corny catch phrases is 'understanding your past'?

Well, I suppose if that works for you... carry on! Make a fool of yourself! If it solves all your problems then by all means, don't let me stop you.

She chuckles lightly. "No, that was more for fun than anything. After all while corny, it's what heroes of television do."

[Sigh, you're no fun. Not getting riled up at anything at all... fox!N seems entirely bored with this conversation.]

I see. Well then. By all means, don't let me stop you...
