Bender 9 - Working

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[[Location: The Grocery Store. ]]

[The Captain is ringing up your food!

It appears The Captain does have responsibilities and depression won't make those go away. So he goes to work. Unfortunately he hasn't held down a steady job almost ever in his life, so this was frustrating for all involved.

You'll see him. He is the only register open today. His line is huge. His manager keeps coming over to berate him. The Captain was not doing that great a job!

Any of these events are possible!:

--The Captain rang up your stuff then accidentally locked the register. Now you have to wait for a manager and you have an ugly, grumpy ex-superhero staring at you. Feel free to thread jack anyone who takes this option as they are only a few people ahead of you!

--Same as above but it happened to the person in front of you or a couple ahead. Others feel free to thread jack this one and chat it up in the line that may never end.

--He gave you the wrong change, the register drawer is closed, he'd have to get a manager. It took 10 minutes for the last guy to get his correct change back. Do you risk it? Again, thread jacking is great here too.

--You notice he has a hidden flask under the register because he doesn't fear drinking in front of customers, just his manager. Do you call him out on it? Do you report him? Do you ignore him?

--You notice he stole a grape or opened something he just scanned for you to grab a quick bite. He's hungry. What do you do?

--He is ringing your stuff up and is obviously a bit dyslexic. He is typing the numbers in wrong. It's taking forever.

--You have a coupon. He is staring at you blankly, he obviously has no clue what that is. What do you do?

Take any of these or make up one of your own for the store just to draw comments and go! Enjoy!]

[Theo being pinned under Cap had no choice but to take the hits. It was almost too easy. That hit was definitely going to leave a mark.

After he pushed off his chest, Theo started to get back up, glaring, baring his teeth and holding his jaw. If He had anything weapon-like on him, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill the Captain right on the street. But in a hands-on fight, Theo was week as a kitten. Even he didn't know how had off he was until now.]

You… son of a goddamn whore… I will get you. Don't think I'll ever forget your ugly face.

[As Theo tried to get up, The Captain hit him again to knock him back down.]

You better remember it. I'm The ☠☠☠☠ Captain, and I'm your worse nightmare.

[The Captain, being the hero type, would give Theo a hard kick to the ribs while he was on the ground.]

[Theo would be pretty much helpless at this point. Still suffering from the negative effects of his last spellcasting just the day before he arrived here, he lack any energy or stamina for a physical fight. He'd do his best to block the kicks and mutter nasty things through his teeth.]

_{No idea… who you're fucking with…}

[He'd Stomp on Theo's head and kick him hard in the stomach. He continued to beat the poor man as he continued to be angry.]

What was that? I didn't ☠☠☠☠ hear you!

[The Captain would kick him again to keep him from getting right back up before moving to grab a nearby waste bin.]

[Blood. Blood was enough.

Taking some of the blood dripping from his own face, Theo started to weakly scrawl on the sidewalk next to him. Something arcane-looking. He continued to mutter, but instead of insults he was doing his best to recite a spell between heaving breaths.

But it wasn't working. Nothing happened. It was just a simple spell to knock the Captain down, beginners' stuff, but he felt no power, no reaction.]

…shit.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[He'd dump the garbage on Theo and then smash him on the back with the waste bin. Leaving it on him as he yelled down at the guy.]

Stay down unless you want some more.

[The Captain could fly, but had no other power. This was a win though! Something he didn't get often. Technically this wasn't something he could be proud of though.]
