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.))

I'll decide what's for my own good.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You really don't have that survival instinct thing do you?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

You think so? I'd be inclined to disagree with you. You haven't done anything to indicate you would ever hurt me.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Ask Charlie what happens to kids who follow me around too much.

[Yeah, the thing he is most bitter about losing this time around.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You really want to know how I got someone about your age horribly murdered? Because there isn't much more to it than that.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind hearing the details but if you don't want to talk about them that's fine as well.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

...

[He finally stops glaring, maybe just tired of doing it.]

I tried to be the hero again and was dumb enough to let someone come along. They got hurt and killed really bad.

It wasn't quick.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Then don't bring anyone else along.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I won't.

[He wanted to say something angry, instead he just says.]

I'm tired of being wrong all the ☠☠☠☠ time, but I can't stand being wrong and it meaning something.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

I understand...

... I-I don't want you to tell you to go it alone but... at least make sure they understand the danger involved.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No one gets it until it's too late.

Better off doing this without help if I come up with the plan. At least then I don't have to worry about anyone getting hurt.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Or come up with better plans.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You remember who you're talking to right?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me about your last plan? Maybe I can help you come up with something better.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Charlie distracted the Postman with smoke.

I threw a car at him.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

That was incredibly reckless of you!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should have just had Charlie wait at home. Even if she can teleport it was a bit much.

I'm pretty sure I could have still hit him without her help.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

A frontal assault like that was bound to fail to begin with.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I hit the ☠☠☠☠, that's got to count for something.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Not from a practical standpoint, no. We need something that'll matter for the long term. We have to find out what their weak points are. Spying is a much better idea.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Then you guys can spy, I'll keep trying to hit them until something sticks.

[Or until they put him down and he doesn't get back up.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Do you hold any concern for your own safety?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Because you're important to other people.

*Hi I am a hypocrite.*
