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

[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.))

If that's the type of person you require, I could try.

No, I don't want a shrink. They're all scammers anyways, kind of like AA.

AA? That was my Trollian handle, before I got here. It stood for apocalypseArisen.

_{( kind of realizing she's rambling, she clucks her tongue after a pause. )}

Look, I think we have two options here. I can tell you something nice to distract you from whatever happened, or you could tell me what that thing was. Which will it be?

... I mean alcoholics anonymous.

Fine, you want to know what I did? I got a 16 year old brutally murdered in a fight I knew we weren't going to ☠☠☠☠ win.

Oh. That is a bit worse than I had imagined. However, given the circumstances of the environment, I hardly think you were to blame.

Yeah, sure, this town does terrible things. We know that.

Doesn't mean I shouldn't have known better...

Probably, yes. But sometimes we can't help trying. It's not your fault.

Yeah but I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't even have tried.

So because of that mistake, you're going to be grumpy forever?

[Technically, he never stopped being grumpy before that incident.]

Yeah, so what?

I just told you guys I'm working alone, you don't have to deal with it from here on out.

Self-imposed exile? An interesting thought, but seldom affective, Mr. the Captain.

Well, why not?

Because. Even if you want to, you won't forget all the people you know and care about. Believe me, I've tried.

You obviously don't know me that well, I'm an expert of forgetting ☠☠☠☠.

I only remember pieces of my life before the age of 20.

That is...unfortunate. I suppose the human emotion is sympathy, right...but you usually seem to do just fine without those memories, correct?

Yeah. Sure. I am doing great without them.

[[Just don't ask what his name is, or most of anything beyond the most traumatic moments of his young life.]]

It's ok, people lose things all the time. I lost my life and my house and my body, but it was all for a greater good in the end.

Yeah, I know how that goes. But back where I come from there is no greater good.

...not at all?

No, not at all.

That is...pretty horrible. I guess I can understand why that would make you mad all the time.

Whatever.

When this is over, everyone can go home and then I don't have to worry about a thing.

You won't wonder what happens to everyone?

Everyone where?

Everyone here.
