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.))

No... but it was stupid.

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

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

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

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Probably not, she's annoying like that.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

So stop beating yourself up.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Only person I managed to beat up so far that mattered.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

I'll start beating you up if you don't quit it.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Okay... okay! I'll stop.

I forgot what it was like not having a babysitter...

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

I heard that, Cap.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

... sorry.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

☠☠☠☠ right, you are.

[There's a long, thoughtful pause.]

This place really is ☠☠☠☠, isn't it?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ☠☠☠☠, but we've seen worse.

I just got to stop trying to pretend I'm the baddest superhero here and go back to the basics.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

And what are these "basics" of yours?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Wait for the person who knows what they're doing to give the orders, then curb stomp whoever they tell me to.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.] Basic enough.

I hope you won't plan on looking to me for those orders, much of the time. I'm not much of a leader.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Which of the two of us would you rather give the orders?

But I got you. I figured we'll find someone who knows what they are doing.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

Me. But that doesn't mean I'm qualified. Just more qualified than you are.

[Which isn't saying much.]

That's a good idea. Have you met anyone who does?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Don't know. There's one chick called Olivier. She's pretty gun hoe.

There might be some others. Keep an ear out, they always make calls.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

I'll do that, then.

In the meantime, Cap, cheer the ☠☠☠☠ up. I'm not going to put up with you being so morose all the time.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I'll try. Maybe I'll go do something that isn't drink alone at the bar sometime soon.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

That would be a good idea.

And I'll go see if I can't find us a good planner.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Hopefully no one who has ever been in the Avengers.

[with-an-accent.livejournal.com]

I sure as ☠☠☠☠ hope not.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Who knows though, we have all sorts of super heroes popping up.
