45th Hangover - Pod-Captain [Event!]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[Action | 950 Beulah Street]

[The Captain will greet his not!daughter, cheerful as ever, and even ask her about her classes.]


[Action | Around Town]

[The Captain is walking around, sober and cheerful. Two things you don't see every day.

He waves to people he sees.

He might also ask you about work or your families.]


[Action | The Pharmacy]

[The Captain rarely comes to work with a smile. Almost as rare as coming to work sober.

Not only that, he steps up and gets right to work. No complaints and no trying to hide in the back room.]


[Action | Add-on | In The Sky]

[Superman fighting The Captain would be a cool fight.

This is not that fight.

A very angry Captain dressed in his trench coat, sneakers, camo cargo pants and black star t-shirt is doing battle with a mockingly cheerful Mark Matthews dressed in typical Mayfield clothing.

Did I mention they are both flying. Colliding in the air with punches and kicks.]

I am going to stomp your cabbage patch ☠☠☠☠!

I'd watch your language, buddy.

There might be kids nearby that didn't force their daddies to leave and their mommies to drink.

Oh. Is there anything you needed from him, then?

[Fujino eyes her suspiciously, just in case.]

[ooeeooahah]

I... spoke with someone who looked like him, earlier this morning.

[ Ilsa tilts her head, unconsciously, as she tries to sense The Captain's usual emotional signature. ]

I wanted to check to see if he was okay.

[distortits.livejournal.com]

...you too?

[She sighs and opens the door a little more.]

I don't know what's wrong. I thought he was droned at first, but still...

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa almost smiles in relief. ] This isn't a normal droning. Even when he's rude, The Captain isn't cutting. When did this start, and is there anything new in the house?

[distortits.livejournal.com]

Ah, I believe it started this morning? He asked me on how I was doing on my classes and such. When I replied that I was doing fine, he made some...rather strange remarks. Sarcasm, I suppose.

[She shrugs.]

Not sure if there was anything else new. Do you want to go check, just in case?

[ooeeooahah]

The Captain doesn't do sarcastic, and the person I saw at the pharmacy was wearing his face, but it sure wasn't him.

I would like to check the house and grounds, please. This is starting to sound like something I ran across at home - if it is, we don't have much time.

[As for the house, everything could seem normal.

Except for the new giant pods laying in the garden.

The not!mom has either been exceptionally skilled with tending the garden or that's not normal.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa carefully looks the pods over from a distance. They aren't exactly like the ones at home, those were more like a Venus Flytrap on steroids. She backs off to the patio, and asks the young woman: ]

Are these a project of yours? They weren't here this summer.
