Week 2: Mingle
week 2:
mingle
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:

Why not? You’re popular. People would love to take pictures with the hero voted the sexiest of all.
[…]
Plus, you’re the most noticeable one of us, so you can put that eye of yours to good use.
no subject
[ So did he ever win anything at all? Also he looks pointedly at Hans. Ftr I saw Hans tag and I was like Adlet is in our group?? ]
I don't think I'm the most noticeable person here -- HEY.
[ He is no longer looking at Hans. He is looking at Beyond. At a man surreptitiously looking at a baguette, and pulling the hem of his pants... calculating. He stops in surprise when he is called out. ]
PUT THE BREAD DOWN. Everyone else, please take eggs from the table, single line please!
no subject
[No idea if Ryuki won anything other than the life of being even more famous and mildly harassed by everyone -- Hans missed the initial disco pardi hubbub and so he has. No idea what disco is! Also yes Adlet is cameowing in our thread, it happens. ☆
There's a perk of a blue fluffy head (human(?) and also hairball, all the hairballs looked up too) when Ryuki yells, and then Hans grins a rather ominous grin and the next moment he's vaulted over the table in one flip and has his pen up against the would-be thief's jugular. Whoops.]
Nyahihi... Wouldn't be shoppin' without some excitement. Ya know, ya really don't wanna know what I'm goin' to do with this here pen and egg if there's another meowve from ya.
no subject
[It’s a good name.]
What should we do with this scumbag?
[The thief was probably not expecting it to be a stick-up and is frozen in place, baguette still in hand.]
Someone who tried to steal during a charity event probably deserves to be raked over the coals.
[Literal? Maybe. Satan looks way too pleased about the thought of making the baguette burglar squirm… If he gets stabbed, he’d totally deserve it.
At least the ruckus is getting the eggstravaganza to calm down as everyone rubbernecks their… heroism. Can you even rubberneck when you’re not in cars… does that even matter…]
no subject
[ I guess. In the sense that he really rather would not but this really is the trajectory of his life, to be made fun of for eternity. Anyway baguette dude is very alarmed with comically round eyes... and yet he does not let go of the baguette... ]
Hans! Satan! You can't just threaten civilians either!
[ That hero critic raving in the aisle with all the energy of a terminally online activist uses this to launch a whole J. Jonah Jameson style rant about how their so-called HEROES are clearly a MENACE to SOCIETY!!! ]
no subject
[He says that while eyeing the hero critic -- who is promptly accosted by the hairball that had been messing with the paperwork around Satan. The fluffy cat ears are pinned back and the big ol' cat eyes are narrowed as the creature... shrinks down to egg size and leaps right into the rando's shirt.
So now you have one NPC scared stiff and the other shrieking under unexpected tickle torture. However, nobody has yet been stabbed and the line is oddly peaceful now so we're coming out ahead on this one.]
We ain't got coals here, but I'm pretty sure there's a grill somewhere yonder. Wouldn't mind grillin' up some bread and some thief all in one... [poor Ryuki gets a Cheshire Cat grin as things continue to be (metaphorically for now) on fire] Ya've got the eggs, right? An' apparently can sing, so serenade 'em a bit while we're busy.
[At least he knows what karaoke is....????]
no subject
[Looking over at the shrieking JJJ-alike, Satan finally stands from the table and walks over to them. He slings an arm over their shoulder and drags them into the clusterfuck. He’s all smiles, but the aura is… very menacing…]
Maybe you have some suggestions, as a local? Since you have so many opinions on heroes. We’re all here to listen, and I’m sure Disco Pardi Man would appreciate the help.
[Or Satan will just, like, bite them or something. He’ll think of a plan later.]
no subject
[ That is also illegal. J. Jonah Jameson knockoff, S. Samuel Smith, is still screaming something about hairballs and menaces and how cats are going to take over the city and Satan is the unholy lord of these furballs. Isn't that every city, sir? ]
No, you can't set someone on fire, that's even worse.
And!
My name! Is Ryuki!
[ Some how that comes last. ]
no subject
[In order to illustrate this Hans just starts lightly jabbing the poor fellow with his pen -- luckily he jabs more at the jaw and cheek than the neck because he's totally showing how harmless all of this is.
--Meanwhile, his other hand has tightened hard enough around the so-called civilian's bread arm that the bread is slipping... Hairball #3, the shepherd hairball, rolls over to catch it. It is now furry bread, but that's probably still better than crime bread. When Satan comes strolling over with their dollar discount SSS Hans blinks at him, then the addition, then the hairball by his foot that has just dropped the bread (it is a floor baguette now) and is vibrating in place.
Incidentally, Hairball #1, the tickle torturer, is now perched on Satan's head and also thrumming excitedly and making hairball noises.]
Nyahaha... I can see why the expert here'd mistake you for a hairball meowster. Hey, disco mouse fridge, how 'bout if I just smoke this one a bit?
no subject
[But he doesn’t protest the one perching on him, even as he drags SSS in front of Ryuki. He can deal with him, if he’s going to have opinions!!]
If I could still eat souls, this would be so much easier.
[…]
Why is your name the lowest priority?
no subject
It's... [ He was going to say it's not but his name being wrong really is the lowest priority right now. ] ...getting my name wrong isn't scaring any people or a threat -- Sir. Go. To. The Harbinger. If. You. Want to be on the news!
[ EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING SO MUCH AT ONCE. ]
What do you mean "smoke"?! Can either of you be normal?! We're in a grocery store!
no subject
If he's answerin' to it, it's a good enough name. Same as callin' you Lord of the Underworld and all that.
[Can't believe Satan gets a sane(????) nickname here. Hans is sort of looking between his hairballs, brow furrowed in thought. The hairballs themselves are still thrumming-squeaking-bouncing happily at their respective tasks or non-tasks. Hairball #2 has now switched to trying to shove the extra eggs at Satan since he's by the table, because everything might as well continue to happen.
After a moment, Hans seems to resolve whatever is happening between him and his familiars and just. Lifts the thief into the air and shakes him a little like an unruly rat.]
Hey, if we're makin' the news anyway, we could just hold 'em both over the grill a bit. In for a penny, in for a pound roast, meow.
[That's not how the saying goes.]
no subject
[Like. He is just not going to ever be a "good" person, probably. He wasn't raised that way!
Satan is also going to just let #2 push the eggs onto the floor. This might as well happen. He tilts his head, not at all bothered with how he bonks SSS with his horn, and metaphorically throws him to the wolves by pushing him towards Hans and the Baguette Burglar.]
Also, smoking in a grocery store seems like a great idea. We can start a barbeque.
no subject
[ Aka the rest of us are human Satan maybe you should get on our level. He doesn't know what Hans is. He tries to save those eggs but he rolled an 8 so it's Eh. Maybe he grabbed a box or so. ]
I said! No! And we're supposed to -- [ at this point, he has lost the plot. ] -- what are we supposed to do? Sell these eggs? Stop breaking them!
[ Baguette burglar has shoved said furry baguette into his pants in a rush of impulsive decision. Ryuki wants to d*e. ]
no subject
[Hans is Hans, which is deeply unfortunate for Ryuki's sanity and the general integrity of this particular mission when combined with hairball chaos and Satan existing. He nudges Hairball #2 with his foot (yes, while it is on the table, he just reaches over this is really stupid-looking) but does not succeed in budging it in its mission. The eggs continue like lemmings.
Also: he is kind of busy somewhere in there dangling the thief away from Hairball #1, which is definitely contemplating some kind of mischief despite not making any new sounds.]
Ya ain't gotta do the pants, but you-- [he shakes the thief still in his grip, trying to dislodge the furry bread] --if ya do anything else I ain't responsible for ya losing the wrong baguette.
[So now his knife is out instead of the pen. Oops. The bright side (doubtful) is that at least Ryuki, the dubiously correct person, has some eggs so--]
... And disco egg hero can sell some eggs while we're grillin', just don't break 'em.
no subject
[Ryuki isn’t paid enough to deal with this.]
Also, we’re just here to accept donations and create buzz. We’ve definitely got that second part handled.
[Because if news doesn’t get out that would be a shock.
Though… this probably isn’t news anyone wants to get out. Still, that does get Satan to pull out his phone and start snapping pictures of Hans’ acrobatics and Ryuki’s despair. So many eggs are getting sacrificed.]
Even if some people don’t appreciate our efforts.
[SSS has at least gone silent, but that might be the fear.]
no subject
And for the record, a lot of Roman architecture is still standing, so you know they were doing something right!
[ Stop defending dead people save some eggs etc. The baguette man will not release his loot. Ryuki is just propping up signs that have fallen over and just trying to maintain some semblance of... something. Order was the dream of man. ]
You! Are not! Castrating people! [ That isn't going to be taken out of context by our S. Simon Smith, surely. ] Why are you both like this! Actually, Hans, you're worse right now!
no subject
[Well, now he's a Roman but who knows if that's like, a positive or a negative here??? Actually, we're just not sure what he is anymore. Poor Ryuki but also Hans rattling off the epithets that are literally longer than his name probably shows he's screwing around here.
That said, he sighs a little and snaps his fingers -- two of the hairballs go poof! -- Satan's head is now hairball-free (but luckily not hair-free) and the eggs are momentarily safe. Hairball #3, heretofore the only hairball, seems eager to rectify its furry bread mistake and rolls over to try and help bounce SSS guy forward into the fray.
Wait, no, it's actually just trying to photobomb.]
They're mine but they're also cat kinda things, so it ain't like I always tell 'em what to do. They do their own thing sometimes, but ya can't say they ain't good for business. [well, the chaos is slightly more contained but is baguette thief's baguette (questionable) really safe?? because Hans has started casually slicing these pants into shorts to get the bread out, prompting some real shrieking] 'Sides, I wouldn't have to be meownacing if this one'd settle down.
no subject
[Shorter then Hans' nickname, but no less respectful...
Satan takes a few pictures of the solitary hairball, before pocketing his phone and forcing SSS into one of the chairs at the donation table. He does not pay any mind to the creation of jorts going on, because he deserves it.]
You can just sit right here and take notes on how we deal with this situation, and then you can decide on what to say about us from here on at.
[He gives SSS a headpat. It's not gentle at all. Then he pulls out his phone to take more pictures of Ryuki.]
Smiling would make you look more friendly, Mr. Disco Egg Pardi.
no subject
and then he smiles (normal) at the nearest person. Mans Meowdy and Lucy can't hurt him if he tunes them out. This is completely unrelated to because Satan suggested it. He's going rogue, politely. ]
S-so, this is the egg drive...
[ Genuinely he's still lost on the plot on what exactly it is they're supposed to do. Fuck it. He's giving eggs to the homeless. ]
no subject
Meeow, see? Roman eggman's got a handle on what he's supposed to be doin', so what ya should do is follow his example an' be a proper heroic citizen.
[Does Hans have any right to be lecturing others on heroism????? He's going to do it anyway, nya. Ryuki's improvisation means they have even more room to maneuver, even though the line is completely messed up now but they may have also stolen the egg line. So it might, in fact, work out?????
Meantime, Remaining Hairball is bouncing happily under the glow of the camera, and then it just -- bounces all the way up on top of Satan's head again. Hans notices while he's still manhandling the now jorts'd fellow and gives it the hairy eyeball for a moment, but that does absolutely nothing because it's like 30% of a cat. Perhaps these hairballs are being extra friendly with Satan because they sense his affinity for anything furry and cat-adjacent.
Perhaps not. There's no way to know.]
... 'member to take some more pictures once we get the grill goin'. [and he is actually going to drag this hapless (and possibly breadless, though not baguetteless) dude off to wherever the grill is while everyone else is occupied, motioning to Satan to come with, either because of the hairball or because--] Or once you get the grill goin'.
[
He has no idea how to work a grill. ☆]
no subject
He's also secretly pleased about the hairball choosing him, but he isn't going to say anything and get it to leave him.]
Alright. Take care of the eggs, Ryuki.
[Now he gets his real name??? But he's going to head off to the grill - this is a grocery store, so there's probably? A display of grills? With all the briquettes and everything they'll need to get a fire going.
He will pause, though.]
Should we really start a fire indoors? I'm worried about the hairball and all the smoke.
no subject
no subject
[Don't worry about it.
The hairball stays with Satan, rolling around every now and then and making pleasant meowy noises but otherwise content. Hans stands in front of a grill with jorts baguette borrower still collared, contemplating the mysteriousness of something that looks not unlike a regular fire roasting rack but has a metric shitton of buttons and other incomprehensible mechanisms both visible and invisible.
He cackles briefly at Satan's concern for the hairball, waving a hand airily.]
Can move outside if ya really want, but it ain't goin' to be much fire in the end. Just a bit of scare an' pomp. Anyway, these li'l guys don't even have anything to breathe in smoke an' I can just send 'em away if they don't like it.
[Why are they both more concerned with hairball logistics than setting a man mildly on fire (or smoking him, whichever comes first).]
no subject
[Time to get a fire going! He fiddles with the knobs, and in no time at all… there’s a fire going.
In the grocery store. Why hasn’t anyone tried to stop them? Probably because they seem insane. This is fine.]
