23rd Hangover - Why does this keep happening?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[After being murdered horrifically, again, The Captain will spend the morning drinking the dead man’s hangover away. Sometime tonight, he sobers up and gives a call to the town.]

[[Phone | Unfiltered]]

“Hey, Mayfield.

Anyone else meet a psycho ☠☠☠☠ and end up dead?

Also, it’s not all that surprising anymore. Honestly, it’s not even ☠☠☠☠ scary. I’ve died all sorts of ways and been droned quite a bit. It’s just getting old.

So, to those of you who think your scary, ☠☠☠☠ off. You got nothing that hasn’t been done here before. Stop trying, and start doing something useful. Or sit back and pretend like you matter.”

[So, maybe not entirely sober. Still, The Captain is no longer impressed.]

No, did I do that to you kid?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"No, some overinflated brown haired girl did this, with her damn pet rinne snake. If I had my flame haze abilties I'd have burned her to -ash-." [her tiny little fists clench]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Snake? ☠☠☠☠ kid, you saw it too? Good, I thought the pills just mixed badly with the whiskey for a bit there.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"It bit someone I know really badly." [she scowls deeply]

"I thought it might have been a rinne from my world but it didn't fight like one. If it had..." [she shakes her head.] "It would have put up a seal first."

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it spits acid.

I should have hit it first but I was caught off guard.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[She'll kick him in the shins unless he reacts]

"You're supposed to be a hero! Don't get caught off guard. When she came for me I struck FIRST!" [her eyes blaze a little with anger]

"If I was as strong as you I would have... would have... won."

[her voice drops, quiet and sad by the end of ti.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[The Captain get's kicked.]

Ow! ☠☠☠☠ kid!

[Oh ☠☠☠☠, sad kids.]

Do that again and I punt your little ☠☠☠☠ back home.

... also. Don't worry about it kid. You'll get your power back eventually. You're a brave little ☠☠☠☠ and you'll be fine.

[she nods, neither believing nor disbelieving the Cpatain at this point] "According to my source, you should speak with: Jason Grace. Nagi Kengamine. Potentially, Olivier Armstrong."

[she recites the names as if by rote.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Olivier is a ☠☠☠☠.

Nagi... ☠☠☠☠ no. I'll stomp that kid.

Who the ☠☠☠☠ is Jason?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs] "I had hoped you might know more, actually. BUt it seems you do. Tell me of Olivier and Nagi."

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Olivier is a militant ☠☠☠☠. She gets pissed off easy and pushes people around. At least that was back when I was first here. Haven't seen her around since.

I don't know much about Nagi other than he ☠☠☠☠ with your head, and can kick ☠☠☠☠. I am planning to shove my shoe up his ☠☠☠☠ and see if I can't get him to loop the town once when I punt him. He ☠☠☠☠ with a friend.

I don't know a Jason, or if I did I didn't bother to get his name.

[Shana is beginning to grow faintly amused by the Captain. If nothing else his answers are somewhat predictable]

"well, those are your choices in terms of people who know things who are planning, Captain. We all pick our poisons. I think yours is mostly beer though."

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Well, if they're not super heroes or villains and just people I'm not involving them in my ☠☠☠☠. I'll let them all know I am here and they can use me though.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"Mou! You shouldn't let yourself be used at all. Be your own person captain. Work with those worth working with. Don't you have any regard for yourself?"

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

If I don't get any help, I'll have to do it myself.

Otherwise I'm not a planner. I'm what happens when you don't have a plan.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"I said I'd help. If... if I get Alastor back he can help plan too."

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Right. Kid, just do me a favor and don't get yourself into fights anytime soon okay?

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"Who are you to tell me that?" [her face is scarlet with anger.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

If you hold your breath and pout, I'm making you go home.

You should worry more about surviving. Trust me.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

"Survive... I... Koyomi..."

[shana starts bawling, not looking at the Cap'n]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Ah crap. The kid is crying.]

☠☠☠☠, I'm sorry kid. Look, come on, I am sure I got ice cream or something.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[It takes a few minutes, but shana will calm down. Especially if he's actually got ice cream. The best way to keep her from going all bratcakes on the cap is, in fact, snacks.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[He get's out icecream, a bowl, a spoon and a scoop and puts them on the table.]

Go nuts kid.

[Just stop crying.]

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[She does so. She eats a tremendously large amount for such a diminutive figure]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Better now?
