28th Hangover - Actions Have Consequences [Phone | Action]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[So, the fight against the Postman ended as these fights always do.

Still, long after it was over. Long after the pain has faded from memory. The Captain was still no where to be found! About a week later The Captain finally reappears. First with a phone call.]


[Phone | Unfiltered to Everyone]

Hey, this is Captain ☠☠☠☠.

The Postman is a lot tougher than he seems and he's a ☠☠☠☠.

Also, ☠☠☠☠ it. Unless your name is Elsa Bloodstone, I work alone. Don't bother calling me, I'm not going to be here.

[Click! Hangs up and leaves.]


[Action | Around Town]

[The Captain heads to his favorite place to escape, the bar. Though he stands outside it for a long moment before changing his mind and walking away.

He'll wander aimlessly around town. His eventual destination is Makeout Point since it's a nice view. Sitting up there and watching the town as he tries to think.]

((Name where you run into him if you tag. He can be wandering past anywhere.))

Of course. ... Do you know where she lives?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

There's a balance Captain, between fear, bravery and sheer stupidity. Yes, there's sometimes where you just gotta go for it, but sometimes you have to step back and think.

[Not that Ken EVER follows this advice, but it sounds good and he believes it right now.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No... not really. She refers to herself as Misfit or Bat girl sometimes. Says, "Dark Vengeance" or some other stupid thing.

[He left before her call to the town sometime after this.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well that isn't my strong point. I hit things, that's what I do. I have to stop thinking I actually have a plan and just go back to the basics.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Captain, stop getting yourself killed for fucks sake!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . I'll try to find her, then. She was with you at the Post Office, too?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Just blinks.]

... fine. I won't. I'll hold back.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[What, weren't expecting that?]

I'm not saying you shouldn't try and fight...I'm just saying to be more careful with yourself.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

[She sits next to him--she's caught up with him at his final destination.]

I'm not surprised, based on what I've heard.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she was there.

[That was a mistake.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

What else am I going to do?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Think mainly. I mean, there are going to be times when you're invaluable and if you're dead you're no help to anyone.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I brought someone with me this time.

What the ☠☠☠☠ was I thinking?

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

That it would be easier with help. That's part of the reason why Nextwave was formed, wasn't it?

Did you force this person to join you?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I won't stay dead long and I'm not doing all that good at being useful. But I'll hold back for a while...

At least until someone comes up with a better plan.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No... but it was stupid.

I knew how this was going to end. I should have made her stay home.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You're doing fine. Stop selling yourself so short. [There is an underlying threat of 'or I'll punch you']

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Sure. Though I won't promise not to punch Grady or the Postman if they leave themselves open...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken laughs and pats the Captain on the shoulder.]

Hey, I'm not gonna tell you no on that, hell, I'd do that myself.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just don't get yourself murdered man. It's rough.

[Wait? Didn't they just have this conversation!?]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about that, I'll be alright. [Well, he will be as long as he doesn't piss of Nagi too much again.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . .

I really don't think anyone ought to go up against them anymore. . . . Not alone, or even with a few other people . . .

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

Would she have wanted to stay home if you had told her to?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[He plans to "talk" with Nagi some day.]

Just hate to see you get hurt or something.

[Hypocrite? Yes, yes The Captain is.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

They haven't put me down for good yet. I rather go alone then see others get ☠☠☠☠ up because my plans are stupid.
