Bender 4 - Wake Up Call (Action)

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[[Location: IN YOUR HOME]]

[That's right, it's about that time again.  The Captain had a night out drinking (like most nights).  Having gotten thoroughly lost again, he has walked into a random house.  They all look the same right?  Well it's your house!  You will find The Captain in the morning having entered late at night and passed out.

He is mostly uninjured (for now) except for a few bruises and scrapes.

Any of these situations are possible:


--The Captain is asleep on your living room couch.  There are anywhere between 1 and 4 bottles of alcohol lying on your floor.  Some are not empty.  Some have been left to pour out on your carpet letting the smell of alcohol fill the room.

--The Captain is passed out in your bathtub/shower!  He sort of just fell and stayed where he landed, no matter how uncomfortable it looks.  He may have urinated in your sink.  There is a bottle of bourbon floating in your toilet.

--The Captain failed to even work a door handle or window and is on your front porch curled up and sleeping, cuddling a bottle of whiskey.  There are a couple other bottles littering your front yard.  The gate to your fence is likely broken.

--The Captain is in your car, finding the back seat comfortable.  His discarded, half drunk, bottle of vodka is laying on your front seat. 

--The Captain somehow made it onto your roof.  It's a wonder since the last time he took a drunken tumble.  Still, he laid on his back snoring loudly.  His discarded bottle of liquor has rolled into your gutter.

--Maybe you are lucky and The Captain is awake!  He has not realized what home he is in.  He is in your kitchen with a bowl of cereal, eating and praying for his hangover to go away.  Your fridge is open.  Your milk is open and on the counter.  Your cereal is open and spilled a bit on the counter.

Do as you would if any of these events occurred in your home.]

Super hero? [He laughs. Good joke, pally.] Fuck no. I'm just fast. Really fast. So fast that Mayfield didn't like it, I guess, an' took it away. Can't run or jump hardly at all now.

HA! Rescue us?! You seriously think that's gonna happen? You sad sack 'a--!! No pally, ain't no one rescuin' us! We gotta bust ourselves outta here. Least that's what I'm doin'.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah? You know I could fly before I came here?

[Of course thinking on what he had didn't help one bit with his mood.[

So do you have a plan or are we playing the hope game here without a clue...?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Whoa. Well it don't matter now WHAT ya did before ya got here. Now ya gotta make do wit' whatever yer left with.

[Scout sits down on the stairs next to you.]

I'm workin' on some plans, yeah. The first one flopped, but it don't matter. The only plan that matters is the one that works, right?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it doesn't matter. I don't have anything now. I never was much good at anything beyond drinking and hitting things while drunk...

[The Captain did manage those two things pretty well, they were just easier after he got his powers.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Well I hope ya fuckin' enjoy yer stay in this shitty town, cuz wit' that attitude, you ain't goim' anywhere. I'll show the assholes runnin' this joint that I ain't just my speed. If they think that'd stop me, they got another thing comin'.

[Despite all the big talk, he can't help but have a bitter expression on his face.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Show them what? ☠☠☠☠ if I know what I can do. They can steal super powers. They can probably use them too. I wouldn't want to fight someone as I was without my powers. I ☠☠☠☠ ripped the finger of a dragon...

[Reminiscing about powers was not helping his mood.]

Also with my powers, you could hit me all you want and I wouldn't die. So how do we stop them if they can do that too?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[Now he's really starting to lose his patience.] Well then go cry yerself ta sleep, rummy! Jeez! Ya know, if ya die here, ya just respawn the next day anyway. Big whoop. If ya wanna just roll over an' let Mayfield keep ya stuck here, by all means brothah, go right on ahead. But if ya wanna fight back, ya can't be afraid ta stick yer neck out!


..If ya wait around long enough, I hear they're stupid enough ta give ya yer abilities back. So suck it up until that happens an' quitcher bitchin'.

[Blinky... what? The Captain was so out of the loop he stared in shock at Doc Scout.

Finally recovering, The Captain gave a wicked grin.]

If Beyond is that stupid... ☠☠☠☠ I could get out of here... I've fought legions of baddies before I can ☠☠☠☠ them again.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

THERE ya go. Now the real question is, can ya stay sober long enough to remember all dis?

Wait, who or what is "Beyond"?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

... No ☠☠☠☠ promises...

Beyond is who I think did this to all of us. They do this ☠☠☠☠ all the time. They clone people, they give people powers... so why not take it away? They're ☠☠☠☠ insane and they have the money and power to do it.
