Week 2: Mingle

week 2:
 
mingle
   30 DOODZ REMAIN   
After a weekend like that, maybe you're up for a little shopping? Good news is, that the Waterfront Shopping Mall has reopened this week. Go see a movie, adopt a pet, or maybe take some cute photos with friends! They can just hop on the S.U.P.E.R. to get to the new locations!

This week Aquamarine Fox, Cobalt Ox, Emerald Goat, and Gold Mouse can be found patrolling the city or watching construction.

If you wander the streets, you're sure to run into a prinny or two trying to sell you the Monday newspaper. Looks like there is something spicy this week! Luckily, you always seem to have the right amount of cash for such things.

Should heroes go stargazing at night, they will find that the moon appears to be in the waning crescent phase. Yes, all week. Villains tend to wander more at night, however, so the local authorities would suggest staying in after dark, unless you plan to try your hand at fighting crime. They welcome the help.

It appears that they have earned some new tokens to use on the AMAZOOM app. What cards will they get this week?

Looks like your luck is improving and you're starting to get to know each other better. Don't you feel closer to everyone already? This week, they will find themselves compelled to be physically affectionate in whatever way is appropriate. Hold hands!

Early Monday morning, all heroes receive a message from the RANKINGS app on their phone:
This week's hero rankings are as follows:

1st. Gold Mouse
2nd. Crimson Phoenix
3rd. Aquamarine Fox
4th. White Tiger
5th. Cobalt Ox
6th. Amethyst Snake
7th. Emerald Goat
8th. Yellow Rabbit

Congratulations, heroes, and keep up the good work!

Good morning, and welcome to your week one mingle!

This week's effect is touch week. Characters will find themselves feeling physically affectionate with other people. This will feel completely natural to them.

Please submit all PC submissions under the correct weekly header.

Amazoom has reopened orders.

Murder proposals are open! Please keep the deadlines in mind.

Have fun!

Huh? Wait — Saysay ain’t doing anything bad…

[ But he’s completely overwhelmed by Jolyne taking the reigns. Wow… is this… girlbossing?

He’s still holding the child, now propping them on his hip. Like a dad. For some reason the child is completely fine with this; leaning in to take a little nappy. ]


Hey, Saysay, go and help with whoever’s all wrapped up. [ — Just as the water gun wielding kids come in. ]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[ HE’S GOT A KID!!

BUT HE’LL TRY DODGING ALL THE… WATER SQUIRTS… ]
doghouse: (LOCK IT. LOCK IT DOWN.)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-04 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ABANDONS THE PERSON HE JUST UNROLLED TO JUMP INTO THIS FRAY ]

Hey, who do ya think you're dealin' with? I got the powers of a frog here, water's only gonna make me stronger!

[ he tries to jump after one of the kids but i rolled a 9 so he's just kind of whiffing it and stumbling into a rack of fabric.

he does, however, block the spray of the water gun with his body! and it just rolls right off! wow! this fabric's waterproof, y'all, check it out! ]

[the mom opens her mouth to yell at them some more— and immediately gets blasted in the face with a water gun. she screeches and stumbles back, blinded, seconds away from tripping over her own feet...

saya just watches this happen, and then plops on the biker helmet so nobody shoots her in the face.]


Good luck, everyone!

[she abandons the rest of the team to ominously approach the mummy guy with a bloody helmet and a pair of scissors. the man has now somehow rolled into a pile of loose yarn. literally, how?]

[personal profile] floridas 2023-10-04 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Go get 'em!

[ atta girl, saya. scare the shit outta that guy.

meanwhile jolyne uses this moment to dart away from the mom and make her way over to start unwinding some fabric from a particular bolt where the pink fabric she has on is from! ]


Listen up, if you're so worried about scissors safety, worry no more! This stuff makes the cut—but being real difficult to tear!

[ she will occupy some of the moms by showing them that some of this fabric is the Good Stuff, hard to tear and everything, except she ends up getting shot in the back of the head by some stray shots from the water gun.

:|

as she drips... it is shown that her outfit, too, is water proof. yay........ she feels like a wet cat. and she is also prepared to wrap these children up like a fuckin fabric burrito. ]

What’s going on? Why is there so much going on? Joyjoy are you gonna be stuck talking in puns!?

[ And I rolled a 10, so that means Vane is gonna get a little :wet: as he blocks the child from getting any water on them. Just before he hands the sleepy little darling back to their mother. ]

Oh…

Oh!

[ How do you advertise waterproof fabric. ]

Man, these outfits are really cool… Lightweight and waterproof! And our frog cop looks awesome on top of all that.
doghouse: (last rites are free)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-04 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he looks deeply hurt and offended to be called a cop even if the rest of that statement was very flattering, but shakes that off before addressing the customers. ]

Yeah, see? Whether you're a real hero or just playin' the part, these fabrics do everything you need! Super flexible so you're free to kick bad guy butt!

[ just does kind of a slow-motion roundhouse kick at the air for a demonstration, and i rolled a 16 which is respectable enough that he does not actually kick any customers or displays in the process. ]

And water and stain resistant so ya don't have to worry 'bout your little hero ruining all your hard work with a spilled glass of juice!

[ this seems like a pretty good selling point to some of the moms here, though that just leads to them asking questions he doesn't know the answers to, like what his green fabric is made of. ]

.............Y'know! That stretchy stuff! Uh. Let's just look at the label!

[ turns to lead them over to the cosplay fabric corner only to see saya in a bloody helmet with scissors in hand, looming over a guy tied up in yarn like ??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ]
squelching: (059)

[personal profile] squelching 2023-10-04 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[sometimes, you watch a guy get caught in fabric twice and decide the best thing to do is to bully the shit out of him.

she crouches down, tilting her head and giggling.]


You should stop squirming, okay? [a pause, thinking.] The yarn is really strong and I might cut you instead.

[this is how you advertise a product, right? someone please save this man... emotionally. because she does use the scissors to try and free him.]

[ nobody stop her she's allowed. torture him, saya. jolyne sees nothing wrong with this (is she proud? yes she is proud. look at saya go.) ]

Remember, if you keep messing around and getting all tangled up with the quality supplies here, we've got to use our sharpest tools to get you out~! Hee.

[ WITNESS. ]

The fabrics here aren't the only thing that are tough enough to handle the wear and tear of hero work! The tools to make 'em are also made to last—versatile and able to take on repeated emergency repairs if your suit does need some maintenance!

Not to mention, the fabric range from solid colors to beautiful patterns!

And don’t worry if you’re a beginner, as a hero you’ll always grow into your costume — and it’ll grow with you!

[ Wow. So nice. So encouraging. ]

… Saysay, that fabric’s easy to cut, right?

[ IMAGINE IF IT WAS INUYASHA JACKET STRONG I’D SCREAM ]
doghouse: (no raise!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-05 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...................ok! leaves her to it. good luck, yarn mummy. ]

Yeah, lots of variety! This collection's also got some really cool textured fabrics that are great for givin' the illusion of metal or whatever while actually being lightweight and stretchy like the rest! And it's...

[ looks at the price and is like oh yikes so much for the cost effective argument, haha yan's making a killing on this shit ]

...less expensive than actual metal, probably!

[ meanwhile the kids with the waterguns are leaving the fabric section altogether and heading for the papercraft section. ]
squelching: (116)

[personal profile] squelching 2023-10-05 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Well...

[i rolled a 14 for the fabric's durability, so. it's not inuyasha jacket strong but girl's going to be hacking away at it for a while. it is not easy to cut, no. the mummy wiggles like a sad little worm. maybe he has to pee.]

It's knife proof? [SURE.] That's why it's so expensive.

[ why does everyone in oceanside have such tiny bladders? ]

Uhhh yeah! Exactly. Top of the line—now see it in action!

[ because oh god the papercraft section is in danger. jolyne is gonna try and help with that situation probably??? aaaaa ]

Put those down, c'mon you little—

[personal profile] axeswing 2023-10-05 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Vane kinda stands there for a second and he could quite possibly be that SpongeBob meme of everything on fire, but there is none. Just a watery mess.

And suddenly there’s children tugging at his pants trying to get them to stretch out and he snaps back. ]


You said it’s knife proof?

Maybe it’d be better if I just hacked away at it with my axe?
doghouse: (we can do this all day)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-05 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hey, how 'bout we give it a try on the actual cutting table instead? They got, like, that groove in the table, right? Maybe it'd be easier to cut like that!

...And if not, then we get to demonstrate just how crazy strong this stuff is!

[ win win! he goes back over to mummy man and crouches down to pick him up (and check it out, these seams are totally secure and at no risk of ripping open! no fraying with this fabric!!!!) ]

C'mon, man, let's give this another shot! Gonna try doin' this the right way!

[ bridal carries him over to the cutting table and lays him down on top of it, which is in no way reminiscent of a villain laying a tied-up victim down on a railroad track!

over in the papercraft section, the shitty kids turn their waterguns on jolyne again, which at least means they aren't aiming right at the very-much-not-waterproof paper anymore. ]
squelching: (189)

[personal profile] squelching 2023-10-05 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELPPPPP this is the funniest thing that's happened all day. saya gets up and takes a step away from the mummy man, making no moves to stop datz from carrying him to the cutting table even as the poor guy wiggles and screams in horror.

too bad his screams are being muffled by the amount of yarn and fabric wrapped around his face... it's knife proof and sound proof! amazing.]


Look, look! He's really excited to help with our demonstration.

[she knows he's not.

but she claps her hands, smiling.]


Go on, Vane. Give it a try with your axe!
floridas: floridas @ dw (🦋 81)

[personal profile] floridas 2023-10-05 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ jolyne is just getting super soaked thanks to these kids but like. at least the papercrafts are safe? are those muffled screams? is datz carrying that guy to the fabric cutting table? eeeehhh it's fine. ]

Agh!!! Gimme a break—

[ but they will not give her a break and instead are just going to squirt her right in the face—which means she's going to reach over and scruff these obnoxious children, one under eager powerful girlboss arm! they have to run out of water eventually, right?

i hope vane accidentally decapitates this poor man wrapped up in yarn. it's really his own fault for ending up like a naughty cat!!!!! ]

[ Right, right —

Vane leaves to a hidden back room (its storage) and returns with his axe, that he’s been hiding in case a wandering Hanako gets curious and murderous. Brandishing it with a mirthful grin, he approaches the table with confidence. ]


And what’s more annoying than a torn sleeve or pair of pants? Especially when you can’t find a tailor around, but learning how to sew could fix that problem — still! It’s inconvenient, don’t we all agree?

[ So, while the mummified person squirms around on the table he raises his axe. There’s some muffled screams but… like… who can hear that over this group being loud as hell. And Saya.

Vane steadies himself, holding the axe above his head (which is like dangerously close to the ceiling) and swings downward — ]
axeswing: (pic#12163147)

[personal profile] axeswing 2023-10-05 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ …

Only to hear a sudden splatter of wetness accompanied by a hard thud —

















Which is just a kid spraying a water gun accompanied by the noise of the axe cutting clean through the table. Swing and a miss, our little mummified civilian remains unharmed for the most part cause that fall sounded nasty. ]


Ah, oop… I got too excited.
doghouse: (OH MY GOD I MISSED THE WALKATHON)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-05 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy—

[ VANE?????? ]

You, uh... you all right there, buddy?

[ HOPEFULLY THIS GUY'S EYES ARE COVERED BY THE FABRIC TOO SO HE DIDN'T JUST SEE WHAT ALMOST HAPPENED... he like, picks him back up into a sitting position against what's left of the table. ]

Some technical difficulties with the table, sorry 'bout that! Uh, y'know, lemme just go grab my own kn.....fabric scissors... and try this myself.

[ runs off to get his knife that i guess was just like, sitting in its sheath in a bag with the rest of his clothes in the men's bathroom

runs back!

and gets stopped and yelled at by another parent for running with a knife ]

[personal profile] squelching 2023-10-05 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[




she looks at vane's axe, which may or may not be bigger than her. she is hanako height.]


Can I try?

[the mummified civilian screams louder. he may be blind and gagged but he is, unfortunately, not deaf to the axe talk from earlier.]

[personal profile] floridas 2023-10-05 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she is just carrying 2 kids under her arms at this point as she comes back. two moms are screaming at her to put their children down but she is refusing to let them out of naughty time prison in her arms for the moment. ]

Hm.

[ as she stares at the wiggling civilian yarn worm on the table. ]

I mean, hey, what's the worst that could happen? They get a close shave or whatever, right?

[ jolyne, don't just say "ok" when the weapon isn't even yours.

the person inside screams Louder as she lets the children go to scamper back to their mothers. ]
axeswing: (pic#12163154)

[personal profile] axeswing 2023-10-06 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, I’d let you, buuuuuuut

[ He peels the axe out from the table. ]

It’s probably a bit too heavy for you, Saysay. But you know what I realized? The fabric here is strong and breathable — cause how long has that guy been in there?
doghouse: (i'm gonna clean it up a little bit)

[personal profile] doghouse 2023-10-06 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ manages to escape back over here after explaining to these judgey moms that it's fine, he's a military guy, he knows what he's doing!!! ]

Hey, that's right! Truly some first-rate stuff here! Ya ain't gonna get more comfortable and flexible than this!

[ leaning down to whisper to mummy man ]

OK, man, I'm gonna get you outta here for real, just don't move for like, 20 seconds.

[ and i'm taking pity on this dude since we're over 30 comments and saying my 11 is enough to cut him out of his self-imposed knitted prison, even if it isn't a very cool-looking cut.

BE FREE YOU MISERABLE SLAPSTICK CLOWN OF A HUMAN BEING ]


And let's thank this guy for helping to demonstrate!!!
squelching: (139)

[personal profile] squelching 2023-10-06 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[she gets over the soul crushing(?) disappointment of not getting to hold a giant axe long enough to clap enthusiastically.]

Yay! Good job!

[




the man is already running out of the store except he slips on the wet tiles and slides headfirst all the way to the front door. it's closed.

bonk.]

[ idk if char will reply to this but just adding that after all the chaos vane will take a selfie with the destroyed table and the rest in the background. so jolyne armed with kids, saya looking adorable, and our frog cop (not a cop). ]
