Week 3: Mingle
week 3:
mingle
Whew, what a stressful way to end a week! After that, maybe our heroes could use a relaxing stroll downtown? Just hop on the S.U.P.E.R. to check out the new locations!
This week Amethyst Snake, Crimson Phoenix, White Tiger, and Yellow Rabbit 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 new moon 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?
You may not be feeling cuddly anymore, but now there's a new problem. When you go to use your personal powers this week, you'll find that it does something you're not expecting. Hey, isn't that someone else's power? Better learn how that works fast, before you cause more problems in the city!
Early Monday morning, all heroes receive a message from the RANKINGS app on their phone:
════════ ⋆★⋆ ════════

I dunno. Aren't you overdoing it with the facial hair? [ the clone at least seems to have settled back to watch even though he's very tempted to shock the real will again. ]
no subject
["aren't you overdoing it" doesn't really hit on any of his insecurities, so the will clone lets that one slide off his back and clears the gap between himself and the real nico, giving him a once-over as if he's evaluating him for injuries.]
Hmm. Well, it's not going to be any fun like this. [what does that mean, clone will? nico will get an answer a moment later - one hand comes out of his hoodie pocket to reach for his cheek to cup it, and he leans in, humming and singing a soft hymn in ancient greek before going for a kiss.
the real will splutters, and his fingers dig into clone nico's arms.]
Hey, you can't just—!
[...kiss nico's wounds better? because that's kind of what's going on here. he'll feel the usual sunlight and warmth as his injuries get a mid-tier heal, and the clone lets go of his cheek to cross over to clone nico and real will. another appraising look, another hum and hymn in ancient greek, and will's injuries get a mid-tier heal too.
clone will pulls his other hand out of his hoodie, and gives the scalpel he's holding a little twirl.
idly, glancing at the two of them -]
You might want to start running.
no subject
first of all, nico's like, uh, no??? because the idea of will with a mustache is probably one of the things he dislikes the most purely for his own aesthetic reasons. second of all, he doesn't even really get time to think of why he thinks that before the clone's in front of him, and there's a mouth on his.
why the fuck do all will solaces feel like kissing it better is the answer? he feels some of his wounds from last week heal, a few scarring over and lingering aches fading away as he's busy trying to pull away and the real will is protesting. the clone actually? kind of looks irrationally annoyed by this. ]
"Dude!" [ hello! wrong nico?! but the clone successfully heals will, too, and soon there's a scalpel as one clone boxes them in on one side, and the lights flicker and crackle threateningly from the other. nico backs up, glancing back at the real will for a second. ]
Now can I fight? [ with. his master sword replica? sure, okay. ]
no subject
[will looks so mad, but he lets go of the nico clone so that he can back up a bit alongside the real nico. one hand slips down to one of his cargo short pockets to pull out a bottle of orange juice, which he unscrews the top of.]
I need to kick his my own ass for kissing you without even asking your permission.
[...but they should probably strategize.]
We're gonna need to take yours out first - if they're like us, he's the better fighter.
[clone will falters at that because hey! that's the thing he's sensitive about!]
no subject
not that he wouldn't obliterate his own clone for similar reasons but it's fine. speaking of his own clone, niclone is busy slipping into the shadows (via just disappearing behind a display shelf and there's a bright flare of lights meant to blind both of them. so nico yelps before he readjusts the replica sword. ]
More like he knows how to fight dirty! [ which is a thing to say about himself, because he does know he's a better fighter. the clone will falters, and nico notices that, but he's hesitant to say anything insulting because it's still a reflection of the real will. ] I hope you know how to use that thing.
[ does he have any idea how ponta's power works? no. it does not matter because he's already charging to try and bash into a tower of boxes hoping to topple them over on both clones and buy will time with his soda. ]
no subject
anyway, will flinches at the sudden flare of lights and is immediately annoyed that the light is bothering him. like, hello? that's his thing! he shouldn't need sunglasses just to not get blinded! how annoyingly clever. (of course he's clever, though; he's a version of nico.)]
I've got enough of an idea, I think!
[with the top off, the liquid within it swirls around him before taking the shape of a lasso made of orange juice. sure, why not.
clone will, meanwhile, takes advantage of the flare of lights to rush at them. real will gasps, lassos him, and then pivots to throw him toward the wall - which probably only works as well as it does thanks to the power.
he stares.]
Okay. Uh. Can't say I was expecting it to be that effective. Man, I really suck at fighting.
[just rudely critiques his own clone's fighting prowess it's fine]
no subject
it's fine, he does not have to think about what will's thinking because it's battle mode! and it's always a little easier to fight alongside will, isn't it? they've done it a lot together recently, and by now he trusts will more than anyone to have his back.
and so it's only with experience that he suddenly notices just how quiet his side of things is while he's watching will lasso his clone and flings him straight into the wall. ]
Well that is a clone! Can't compare to the original, you know? [ which is about all he gets to say before he hears a spark behind him and he immediately whirls to thwap his clone across the face with the rubber blade and push him back, dancing out of the shower of static-y bursts of light falling from the ceiling. the clone is silent, but he's focused on fighting back and attempting to claw at nico to gain the upper hand as nico's sneakers start losing their grip on the tile floor. could he use his powers right now? yes. is he going to? he'd love to avoid it, actually! ]
Grab the scalpel! [ while the will clone is dazed. ]
1/2
2/2
i rolled a 3 so this unfortunately goes horribly. the clone shakes off the daze just in time to slash at his arm with the scalpel, and will yelps as he grapples with him to try to wrestle it out of his hand. in the ensuing chaos, the scalpel cuts off the clone's mustache. now there are two identical versions of will wrestling on the ground while niclone is clawing at real nico.
clone fighting is going great!]
no subject
Hey! [ this is to the will clone, and he's well aware that a knife in a wrestling match is not good! the will clone and the real will are too far for him to dash while he's still fending off his own clone, but it's funny because when someone he cares about is in danger he's more willing to use his abilities.
the winds pick up, and suddenly a small tornado is blasted their way to head straight into a shelf of items above them. the thing is that i also rolled a 3 so the aim is extremely off and that means there are even heavier items getting caught up in this mini-storm and yeeting at both wills at mach fuck.
shit. clone fighting is fine! ]
no subject
anyway both wills are caught up in the mini-storm of various items from the shelf and they both let out a shout as it overtakes them. in the commotion, clone will also ends up with a nasty cut on his arm. now they well and truly do look identical.
both of them try to struggle out of the mess of Stuff, but one of them gets out first. he runs over to real nico, a look of concern on his face.]
Nico, hey - are you okay? It looked like he got you before!
no subject
will(?) approaches him though and he nods sharply, a little relieved that he's here to help and that his clone's still struggling under the weight of everything. ]
I'm fine, I'm fine. Barely a shock. [ the clone's mumbling something about "i'll show you a shock" but nico turns to look at will. ] Sorry. I didn't mean to hit both of you. Are you alright? Where's the scalpel?
no subject
Right here. It's fine, nothing some bandages and salve won't fix.
no subject
We can take care of it once we knock the clones out. [ he says, watching his own clone start to inch its way across the room and letting him just to see what he does. ] Might if I take this though?
[ blade please. ]
no subject
he also does not hand over the scalpel.]
Nah, I've got it. I'm not gonna let either of them take it off me.
[he does not seem to notice niclone sneaking up - he's got his gaze focused on nico.]
no subject
(the answer is his clone is seething that will is busy talking to nico, which really says a lot about nico as a person that he does not want to actually delve into right now.) ]
I feel like your whole orange soda thing might be more effective.
no subject
I'm all out of juice. Better safe than sorry.
[and indeed, there is a puddle of orange juice and an empty juice bottle on the ground. the other will is just now freeing himself from the pile of junk, and he looks alarmed when he spots nico and will(?) talking to each other.]
Hey - wait, get away from him! Nico, that's not me!
no subject
"As if that matters. All he cares about is if you bother giving him a little attention."
[ which. well. the actual nico looks kind of irritated suddenly and also a little alarmed because that's not...true? entirely? like yes it is he has gotten used to having someone like will at his side but it's not like that.
so instead he's busy throwing up another gust of wind out of anger, the overhead lights swinging dangerously as it hauls back to try and smack his clone in the head and overshooting enough to aim will's way instead. to will(?) though, he's just immediately turning around to slam the rubber sword's edge right into his wrist to get him to drop the scalpel. bad clone, no stabbing! ]
1/2
That's not true!
[there's a beat. both wills kind of glare at each other for the split second they have before real nico throws up a gust of wind. the will furthest from nico yelps and ducks as the overhead light swings and nearly hits him; the will closest to nico lets out a cry as the rubber sword is slammed into his wrist.]
2/2
...so I'm in your way again, huh?
no subject
...that's not...[ this is still a clone (?), but this is a very real thing for will that he can't entirely ignore, even if he's checking on the other will, too. ] I never said that.
1/2
[will(?) still seems very sad. he doesn't go for the scalpel - nico has kicked it out of reach. (hopefully niclone doesn't see it and get any ideas.)]
I always knew I wasn't going to be good enough for you, and it was just going to be a matter of time until you realized it.
2/2
It's time for you to stop talking.
no subject
...is that true? That's not what you really think, is it?
no subject
[it's not true. not entirely true, anyway. there's a grain of truth to it - maybe even more than a grain of truth - but the fact is, even if will struggles with those doubts, he knows they're just that: his. it's not actually what nico thinks and feels.
he's been more easily able to remind himself of that since tartarus.
as he says this, he's keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of niclone in the shadows - if he even tries to hurt nico, will is going to get between the two of them so fast.]
