39th Hangover - Heroes Never Die

[Mark Matthews is reading the paper tonight before bed. There's a glass of scotch by his side and that big fake smile on his face.

That smile turns into a frown when he realizes he can't comprehend what the newspaper is saying.

The Captain is back, losing a few IQ points when undroning.

He takes the glass of scotch and downs it it on gulp, barely tasting it. Making his way over to the phone.]



[Phone | Everyone]

☠☠☠☠, I'm back again. Not like this town has anywhere to send me anyways.

Whose bushes did I ☠☠☠☠ in to deserve being punished like that anyways?


[Action | 950 Beulah Street residents]

[The Captain just won't settle for the clothes his drone self liked to wear. Going to his closet.

He strips down to his boxers first.

Suiting up, he puts on a pair of camo, cargo pants.

Then a gray t-shirt with a big black star on the chest.

Socks and Red Converse high tops go on next.

Lastly, he throws on the stained, worn out duster and let's it settle on his shoulders.

The Captain is back!]



[Action | On the streets]

[The Captain is going to the bar. Because where else does he go to cope with anything?

He'll walk the first few blocks before remembering he is a ☠☠☠☠ super hero. He launches himself into the air and flys the rest of the way.]



[Action | Olney's Tavern]

[The Captain starts light, shots of whiskey and beers for chasers.

Soon enough he'll just order the bottle and stop the pretense of chasers.

He's sitting alone at a table at the moment but he doesn't seem to be glaring people away from joining him.]

Well you certainly do it too much if you're tryin' to make yourself miserable.

[Ken is completely missing the point here.]

Why would you wanna make yourself miserable?!

[Takes a moment.. and just decides to say it. Ken knows him, why not.]

I don't drink to be miserable, I drink to forget why I am miserable.

[Ah, so it is for the same reason that Youji drinks...mainly.]

Why are you miserable? [This is asked with the full intentions of trying to help. He can't help but kinda like the old sot.]

Because a lot of bad and crazy ☠☠☠☠ happened.

You know what, though? I've probably burried most of it by now.

I figure at this rate I'll be golden by my mid thirties.

[Or dead. And not the torn apart by zombies dead.]

[Ken is only a minor hypocrite about burring bad shit you don't want to think about, so he's just going to sigh like friends do when someone they know is bound and determined to do something stupid.]

Or have nothing left in your head.

If I'm lucky.

[Yeah, stuborn and stupid.]

But I like you, you'd be awful to hang out with if you were completely brain dead.

Well, let's hope I stop this town first then.

Did I tell you, I have all my powers back?

Re: [phone]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
No you didn't tell me! What all can ya do now?!

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I can fly, I can punch a hole through anything here and I'm now invulnerable.

It's not invincible but most things can't kill me.

[They can hurt like no other though.]

That's so fuckin' cool! Wish I could do that.

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd be a pretty terrible super hero without them actually.

[He's a pretty bad one with them.]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't see you going the gadgets and gizmo's route.

Yeah, leave that one up to Aaron. That guy is like the Swiss army knife of ☠☠☠☠ kicking.

[phone]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, to tell the truth I'm with you. Leave all the tech stuff to the people who like it.

[phone]

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do with half the things Machine Man pulls out.

What's wrong with a simple chainsaw or a grappling hook, but no, you look at comic books these days and it's all intelligent computers and what not.

[phone]

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, intelligent computers are the worse. What good is being invulnerable when they figure out how to get past it?

Re: [phone]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly, takes all the fun out of it too if you can't understand half of what the hero is doing. Or the villain.

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I like my way better. Just hit it hard and hit it often.
