Fourth Scoop: Multi Character Catch-All! [backdated to the start of the event]

[shortandsweet]

[ ooc: I just have too many to justify making multiple posts, and thus making things harder for others to track, so here's one comprehensive post for most of them! ]

Neopolitan

[ With monsters making a mess of things at night, that means that it’ll be much easier to steal things, right? So Neo disguises herself as a regular Joe: wearing a trucker hat, t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a bit of scruff on her face. Her eyes are light brown now. Currently, she’s in an electronics store, which other people are also looting. She’s swiping a small ice cream maker, easy enough to carry! Now she can have all the ice cream ever! ]



Grell

…no….no no no no!

[Grell has a small drone holding her phone while filming whatever she’s doing, which is mostly panicking. There’s a bits of gummie candy stuck to her hair as she takes a piece of her bed and…plucks a small piece off. It’s sticky between her fingers and she gives it a sniff. Taking a tentative bite, she confirms that it is indeed—]

Marshmallow…

[The drone pans out to show that her entire house is made of candy. The walls are made of taffy, and even her computer is made of candy bars. She holds up her keyboard before she tosses it to the ground in a fit of rage and stomping on it out of sheer…spite.

With quick footsteps, Grell scowls her entire way out the house, and indeed, whatever has happened in her bedroom did not stay confined to it. She doesn’t know what’s worse: the fact that everything is candy, or that nothing matches! Once outside, the drone that follows her now has much more freedom to move about, but…

She lets out a shriek so full of rage that one may not even need a device to hear it, because of what her house turned into!]



Aya

[Aya is currently in the middle of the battle for his life. His foe is unlike anything he’s fought as he parries blows and dodges close calls. Already he has a few cuts all over his body which are taking a toll on his body, but luckily, his opponent isn’t fairing all that well, either. The sound of metal sliding against another can definitely be heard in the streets of Attleton. They stop for a moment as the opponents size up the other, accessing the damage. Aya knows that he can’t overcome this enemy easily.]

[Especially since he’s literally fighting himself.]

[There are also bodies all over the empty street behind his other self. Most are not that badly mutilated, if only because Aya came in to stop the other from desecrating his victims even further. The horrid smile of ill intent meets the eyes of his foe, and it makes his stomach turn. Why did Attleton have it so bad?]



Nora

[Nora is, of course, ignoring the curfew and is out helping people get to safety. It takes up most of her time, but she does make sure to come back at a decent time to check in on Mayu. She promised to protect him, and she plans to keep that promise. She also wants to try and help keep the city safe, too. So if anyone spots her leaping off buildings and laying the smack down on monsters, don’t be afraid! Fortunately, she didn’t turn into a monster, so, relief!

But she will be getting tired soon. Fighting for five hours straight does that to a person.]

Comments

Neo

[rando_dork]

[Seriously? Spider-Woman knew that crime never took vacations but you'd think the petty crimes would get put on hold until AFTER the monster attacks. Still, this looked like something she could handle quickly so it was worth the effort.

A hand full of the other looters have already been webbed to different shelving units and walls by the time she comes face to face with Neo's disguise.]

I'm going to have to ask you to put that down.

Partly because it's against the law and partly because I'm 100% sure I'm coming back to buy that when the store opens.

[shortandsweet]

[ The man stops while holding the maker, looks down at it, then looks to the...what is she? He doesn't get it. Either way, he's bolting for the exit!

Let's play Catch the Thief!]

[rando_dork]

Hey! Get back here with that!

[The pesky thief will here a "Thwip" like sound as the masked vigilante fires a webline at their back. She'll attempt to drag the disguised Neo back her way if she can]

[shortandsweet]

[ The webbing sticks...but to a shelf. The image of the man shatters as if it were made of a mirror, revealing that he wasn't in that spot in the first place.

Another image of him is running past the isles, though, arms full of that ice cream maker. Looks like the game is still going. ]

[rando_dork]

[Okay... That's a new one.

It doesn't deter her though. She looks past the image that's on the move now and quickly fires two more web line, this time at a pair of large boxes ahead and into the aisle. If she catch the thief in one go then maybe she can at least slow him down?]

Hey now! That's no fair!

action for Grell

[molestedbytailors]

[Oh dear, it was hard to ignore that shriek. Thankfully, Mey-Rin was already dressed. She looked out one window where Grell was outside. She opened the window to greet her somewhat new master?]

Lady Grell! Is everything all right out there?

[While she waited for a response, Mey-Rin couldn't help but take a piece of ginger bread from the window frame.]

My, it's really tasty!

[redcinemareel]

STOP EATING MY WINDOWS YOU IDIOT!!

[Mey-Rin....why are you making her life difficult...]

[molestedbytailors]

[Blame Sebastian...?]

Sorry! I'm really sorry! It tastes so real!

[redcinemareel]

Because it is!

[He really knows how to choose them...]

If you're hungry, then don't eat me out of house and home!

Aya!

[carrythesin]

[Kirika was on her way to school until she felt as if she was being followed. It was then she felt a chill in the breeze. Kirika turned to one direction and there was a person, a splitting image of herself, with eyes narrowed and darker. The replica turned away from Kirika and walked down a different street. Kirika didn't waste time and chased after herself. Every corner Kirika turned to, the replica turned to another corner. Eventually Kirika was lead to a sound of clashing katanas. Her stomach dropped as she followed the sound.

Then she saw them, her bag dropped to the ground to announce her presence. Two Aya's? She scanned the area. Aya was hurt, both were, but one of them seemed... different. The bodies on the ground, who were they? Who did it? As she stared trying to decipher the situation, behind Kirika as well was also a version ofherself in dark robes. The dark one watched silently as well. Kirika meanwhile couldn't sense herself behind at the moment, she stared into Aya's eyes, the real Aya.

Meanwhile, the darker version of herself raised one hand in which held a pistol, slowly, towards Kirika's direction.]

[formerabyssinian]

[The darker incarnation of himself peered over to Kirika, and Aya managed to follow his line of sight. He automatically knew what the other is thinking and lunged at him, only for his opponent to duck and tumble while managing to cut the back of his thighs. A short pained noise comes out of his mouth, but it isn't enough to get him down yet.

Seeing the other Kirika pointing a pistol at the original makes him lose his concentration.]

Behind you!

[In the time he calls out to warn her, his opponent runs him through his side, causing Aya to let out another pained shout.]

[carrythesin]

[Before Kirika could respond to Aya's plea, she turned around and swung one hand which now held her pistol to bat the other pistol away before it was fired. The shot was fired to one side and away from the scene.

When Kirika looked up, her incarnation vanished. She quickly looked around on guard, and then looked to where Aya and his double was. He was pain, Kirika panicked that moment.]

Aya!

[She instinctively drew her pistol towards Aya's dark double and aimed her shot towards it's weapon, the katana. Hopefully, her aim was true enough to knock it out of it's hand, for now.

Meanwhile, Kirika's double reappeared behind Aya's double, stared aimlessly at her frighten self.]

[formerabyssinian]

[The double's grip on his katana is lost as the bullet skims his wrist. With such a close proximity, Aya uses it to his advantage and stabs the other with his blade. Even when turning, his foe's blade is still stuck in his side. He barely registers that the other Kirika is behind him, shocked by her presence.

When did she even get there...

Aya knows he has to get the blade out of his side before it's used against him, and even with the other Aya out of play, for the moment, the other Kirika is still a real threat.]

Nora

[nrgsvr]

[ Thankfully, the monsters don't enter buildings. He just doesn't want to go out alone when he has to open and close Sand Gym.

Mayu did turn into a monster, and he showed Nora his bear form. He's not much bigger as a Japanese black bear, but he is stronger, tougher and has faster reflexes. He can actually hold his own against the conjured Genessia monsters.

He swiped at the various creatures with his claws. There was a picnic basket full of treats for Nora hanging from his mouth.]

[heartboop]

[Just as she's about to bring down a hammer on the bear, she stops just in time! Recognizing him, Nora jumps for joy! The first time she saw him was quite the fright. She nearly put a hole in another wall.]

Delivery service! You've got good timing, Mayu!

[nrgsvr]

[ Mayu flinches at the hammer, almost dropping the basket. Thankfully, it's safe and the movement doesn't ruin the food. He doesn't have his sketchbook full of phrases with him, because he needs his paws free for battle.

He nudges the basket towards Nora.]

[heartboop]

[The basket is received with a grin and a head ruffle! He's so cute with that nice, shiny coat!]

You didn't come all this way just to bring a basket of food, right? [Which she starts to immediately reach into and shove whatever she found into her mouth.]

grell.

[acrostic]

That is completely unsanitary.

[redcinemareel]

It's more than unsanitary!

[Currently peeling candy from her hair.]

It's annoying!

[acrostic]

Peanut butter and ice. Vegetable oil and olive oil. But spritzing rubbing alcohol directly onto the hair is very effective.

[ Sighing ] My concern here lies in the structural integrity of it all. Something as simple as a rise in temperature may compromise your entire house, along with the rest of the city.

[redcinemareel]

[She's relieved to hear that something simple will get the gunk out of her hair, but an eye twitches at the mention of structural integrity. Looking up at the house, Grell can see his point.]

This place is more trouble than it's worth...

Grell

[pianola]

... Interesting choice of architecture.

[ Completely deadpan, so perhaps she's being sincere? Or perhaps not. ]

[redcinemareel]

This isn't by choice, you know!

[That deadpan...it reminds her too much of Marco...]

[pianola]

A house made of candy was the only one left available on the real estate market?

[redcinemareel]

No! That's not it at all!

[Who the hell sells candy houses?!]

The whole town is this way!
