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.))

[Hi, Cap, look who found you? Ellie's looking a lot better than she did the last time you saw her.]

It didn't go well.

I had hoped it would.

No chance of you telling us how it ended, then, I should assume?

[lovehatedrugs.livejournal.com]

[Well, well, look who just so happens to be at the bar. He takes a sip at his beer, grinning.]

Well, don't you look sour? Come pull up a chair, Captain ☠☠☠☠. Drink.

It's the only damn thing you're good at, anyway.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Hey, probably one of the few people he wanted to see.]

Yeah, they cheat. I knew that was going to happen.

[He didn't expect Charlie to go down like that.]

☠☠☠☠ the Postman. He took a hit and walked around like a ☠☠☠☠ corpse.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Go ☠☠☠☠ yourself Dirk.

I'm a ☠☠☠☠ hero.

[He's angry enough to not sit down and drink... shocker!]

[lovehatedrugs.livejournal.com]

The hell are you talkin' about? You and your little reject friends ain't ☠☠☠☠ heroes. You're zeroes. No. Less than zero.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

We kicked your ☠☠☠☠, we'll tear down this place too.

[Not quite so confident in this but he's being stubborn.]

Mr. the Captain? ...are you alright?

Re: [Phone]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Why were people calling him. He didn't want to talk about it he was just giving everyone a warning.

And making a stupid declaration.]

No. He won, we loss. If you want details, you go get yourself ☠☠☠☠ up.

phone;

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[☠☠☠☠ phones, people calling him. He sounds more annoyed than anything.]

It's Captain ☠☠☠☠ now. Also, I'm fine.

[No he's not.]

phone;

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, I'll just stick to the original version. Also, being inexperienced with emotions I guess I could be wrong, but you don't seem "fine."

phone;

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Go with whatever you want then, I don't ☠☠☠☠ care.

Unless you're trying to be my shrink, I don't really care what I seem.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse.livejournal.com]

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

phone;

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

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

[Ken's just jogging about around town when he sees a familiar face.]

Hey! Captain! [He's going to...ugh, wave at you.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Frowns, not in a good mood to be meeting anyone really.

But it's Ken so he does wave back.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[When is the Captain ever in a good mood? But still, Ken picks up on the reluctance.]

Hey, you ok man?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No.

[For one... he looks sober. That can't be good.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Whoa...will wonders never cease?]

What happened? [He didn't hear the phone call]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I fought the Postman and lost.

[That's not it though, this guy loses all the time.]

I wasn't the only one...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He's with you so far, Ken figured that the postman would probably be in the same category as Grady. Then the Captain speaks his next set of words.]

Shit, you guys got torn apart, didn't you.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wouldn't be the first time...

[Let's out a frustrated breath.]

I'm a pretty terrible super hero. I can't believe I let that ☠☠☠☠ happen.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You're not a terrible super hero, the people here are just stupidly powerful and we haven't found their weak points yet.

[Ken is entirely sympathetic]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No... I can deal with them being powerful. It's annoying but it's not like I haven't met people I can't beat before.

[If this conversation was someone else, The Captain would have just cursed and ditched it. Since it's Ken, he's venting.]

I got a kid killed too... pretty badly. I don't think she's going to take it well.

[He didn't take it well. He took it with a drinking binge. The fact he still feels guilty after that is what's getting him.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken winced at that.]

Start from the beginning Captain. What happened? [This is sounding worse and worse by the minute.]
