((Everyone in the diner might want to reconsider their posts, I'm calling a reaction check.))
((And it succeeds. Creeper manages to actually close and kiss a rather angry DreamStar. In doing so he surrenders combat initiative.))
A hammer of telekinetic force slammed into Creeper, knocking him to the ground and continuing to push him out through the door. A strong wind swept through the diner as DreamStar spat, wiped creepers blood from her face, and then followed him out, pulling up her crowned cowl and tucking away her hair.
"DreamStar..." Song Daughter squeeked, quite startled by this sudden violence. "Not here..."
"That was non-consensual physical contact, more than grounds for self defense." DreamStar said, striding towards the door after Creeper. "And I'm taking it outside in case his brain is incapable of realizing that not everyone is going to put up with that kind of crap and this becomes a... heated exchange."
((Creeper takes up to 10 damage from the blow, subtracting however much armor he had active on that part of his body when the hit landed. He could have taken that blow without any damage potentially, your call on how much armor he'd have put back on himself.))

"Song Daughter?" Cupid gave a big smile. "She was on your team? I love her first album! But the others... I don't know them. But what happened?" "I... don't know. I didn't ask her." BlackWall seemed to assume Cupid was asking about what happened to Song Daughters career. Which at least was getting her mind off her depression.

"Oh..." Cupid looked down, and ordered another drink, sipping on it.

((I'd say it'd be more to his HP, since he was only wearing the leggings at this point. So I'd say about 10-2 HPs.))
Creeper clung onto the door, until a sudden shove made him turn around, before the door completley flung off, Creeper with it, flying into the air, before landing a considerable distance away.
He slapped into the ground, and got a nice bounce off, before he collapsed onto the floor.
He was face-down in the dirt, groaning. There was no blood pool around him, so maybe he just managed a few bruises, but to Creeper, that really, really fucking hurt.
"All I wanna' do is spread tha' lovin'!" Creeper yelled, face-down in the dirt, "Bitches just naturally want me!"
He took a deep breath, and dug his hands into the dirt, shoving himself up. He managed to get to his feet, his armoured carapace coating his form.
He staggered for a second, before his visor face-plate opened up. He vomited, before his visor came back down.
"Ugh." He said, before dipping his finger into the puke. His visor opened up, for him to stick his tongue onto his finger, before he cringed, "Fuck, I taste delicious..."
He turned to face the woman, before he made a rapid humping motion, before giggling.

The Bright Knight was unsure whether to be worried for Creeper or disgusted by him. Either way, the pale man was leaving. And she had meant what she said about protecting innocents. Casting a last glance in Creeper's direction, she turned and followed the pale man. Finally catching up to him, she asked, "So who are these Lost Ones? Why are they a threat?"

Annie was honestly surprised. Surprised that it wasn't her that tried to pull a punch on Creeper first.
Well now there was a problem, Creeper had been asking for a fight (almost quite literally) and now he got one neither looked as though they were about to back down. For Dream Star, she was angry and too stubborn, for Creeper, it was just too fucking fun.
Annie turned to see Bright Knight and the vampire start to leave, she turned back to the fight for a moment before making her decision.
Creeper knew the mistake he was making. Plus he shouldn't really be in any danger at all, Bright Knight on the other hand... Bright Knight was going into a sewage system with a vampire, little chance of escape to spy on possible dark cults. Besides, she could find little sympathy for Creeper's predicament.
The Inferno Witch slowly followed behind them, listening in onto anything she could.

Creeper jerked and spasmed, pointing at the girl in the dinner, "I'll deal with ya' later. Ya' mistaken if ya' think ima' back down. I never falter, no, no. Never surrenders."
He skipped, rather happily, after the group, his armour-plated carapace flailing wildly.

As DreamStar stepped out of the Diner a strong wind came up, tossing about her bomber jacket until she was lifted into the air, floating at about the second story level and drifting down the street. That, at least, explained how she could get away with the spike heels... she didn't have to walk.
As the Creeper walked away, an alien thought slammed into his head... "Run coward! Run!" it was a command, forced on his mind by the mistress of the nights dreaming. And it slid right off his insane mind, taking no grip on his actions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The red outfit was easy enough for Bright Knight to spot as she turned the corner, even though he was standing in the shadows cast by one of the buildings.
"So you're coming with me? Very well, a pleasure to have you m'lady... Bright Knight were you called?" He sketched a bow with a flourish of his hand but only a nod of his head, and went back to striding down the street. "My name is... hard to pronounce. It means 'The child who will not inherit born of the shadows'. DarkSon is easier to say."
"As for who the Lost Ones are, their name says it clearly. They are the ones that have become lost in this city. Vagrants, homeless people, wanderers. No matter the era there always seem to be peasants that slip through the cracks and suffer the neglect of those in power. However, these who have gathered themselves and call themselves Lost Ones specifically felt... somewhat more sinister when I encountered them. They seem to believe that they have been found by... something. Something that wants their hearts, minds, and souls. Presumably their bodies along with it. I don't know what that something is, but maybe it's time to find out."
He turned to look at Bright Knight, and she could catch a glimpse of a red flash behind his tinted glasses. She also managed to notice he had a tiny goatee, neatly trimmed on his chin. His shoulder length straight hair was just as pale while as his skin, so it was hard to notice(yes, the others did notice it back at the Diner, wasn't important).
"Tell me, besides your arms and armor, do you have any way of slipping undetected through the shadows?"

Creeper giggled, following Bright Knight. His arms were flailing, and he was jumping in skips.
And with a cart-wheel.

The Bright Knight's lips pursed at his mention of peasants and eras. She sensed he was old - very old. Was he speaking from experience, or did he know something about her?
"I'm good at being quiet," she said. She looked at Creeper, who seemed to be intentionally making a show of himself. "I don't know about him, though."

Creeper stood, where he was. He got into a low crouch, his arms out-wide.
"Wait a second..."
He turned and looked up, pointing at Dreamstar, "Bitches be crazy! I told you she wanted to smoke mah' sausages!"

Annie stayed quiet, wondering if Creeper had a death wish.
If there was a fight brewing against these cultists, Creeper might become a liability, already beaten up, unable to contribute much against the Cultists and eventually forcing the heroes to cater to him.
"Creeper, I think that's enough for now, we haven't even gotten into there yet, I'd hate to be the one dragging your ass through the Storm Drain."

Cupid eventually left the dance club, heading out into the night. She supposed she should at least TRY to meet some of the other superheroes...

"It's not me, I swear!" Creeper cried, "It's her. She doesn't like me all too much. Not sure why, I mean.. who doesn't love me?"

Cupid turned the corner- happening on the site. She raised en eyebrow. Were these people... drunk, or what?
Oh well. Perhaps she might be able to do something in a new town...
"Excuse me?" ...Not off to a good start there, Cupid... "What seems to be the problem?"

Inferno Witch turned towards the girl, not really sure what to do other than talk to her before Creeper decided to scare her.
Should she act stern and strict as to intimidate the girl? She could very well get hurt if she came with them, and the last thing Annie needed on her conscious was an injured, or even dead child. Acting cold and ruthless might be enough to save her from becoming a liability to everyone including the girl herself.
On the other hand, there have been children who's proven themselves to be just as competent, if not more so than adults.
There was always that chance that she could get hurt, that she could get herself killed.
What the hell is this girl doing, fighting crime. She should be at home, talking with friends, going to the mall, doing homework. Anything other than this? What kind of people are we, if we employ our own children to fix the problems we can't even fix ourselves?
She thought about it a bit more.
That still didn't mean she had to be rude about it. Just...keep vague about where you're going and what you're doing, there's always a possibility that she'll just go there herself even if we shoo her off. I remember when I was a teenager, I thought I was invincible.
"Just going to check up on a few things, might be nothing, we don't know yet," said Annie. She spoke as she would to an adult, belittling her would only provoke and aggravate her.

Creeper quickly wrapped an arm around the girl, coming down to her level.
"Dicks, my friend."
"Dicks and vaginas, everywhere." He said, a hand wavering into the air above her, gesturing to the world, "And they're ours for the taking, if we can but... reach out, and get them, like delicate little flowers, drifting idly on the wind." He said, making a pinching motion in the airs.

The Bright Knight stared at Creeper for a moment, her cheeks going redder and redder as he spoke. Finally, she turned away and lookedxat DarkSon. "Let's go, shall we?" She said, turning to stride away before realuzing she didn't know where they were going.

DarkSon just kept his stride up, walking down the street at a reasonable pace, ignoring the Creeper, and anyone who was trying to apologize for him. He knew where he was going, and had told everyone else where he was going. At this point the fact that he hadn't faded himself into the shadows or lifted off the ground to fly across the full moon should be enough sign that he's allowing them to follow.
By this point DreamStar and returned to ground level, paid for her meal, and left with SongDaughter, while BlackWall had convinced her roommate she was going home for the night alone. As always.
And Warrior Hopper hadn't monologued any, and as such hasn't encountered anyone. Yet.

Cupid had been about to reply to Inferno Witch... when the Creeper took a hold of her. She stopped dead in her tracks, turning her head slowly to stare at him...
...Before her back ribbon, with a sort of mind of it's own, grabbed him around the waist, pulling him away from her in a spinning motion before dropping as she rushed slightly towards the other members of the group.
"A-and he's a superhero?!"

Inferno Witch glared at Creeper before looking down at the young girl. "Yes, he's as much a superhero as I am."
Which is not a whole lot at all.
"So, what's your name?"

Post by Penny Royals on May 25, 2012 10:45:02 GMT -8
"Cupid." She extended a small, gloved hand to Inferno Witch. "I'm... new here. To Triumph City, that is. I've been a superhero for two years, though. What's your name?"

"I'm Inferno Witch, but nowadays, everyone knows that I'm Annie."

"Yes it is," said Annie, nodding. She frowned. This girl has been a super hero for over two years? Her parents never noticed? How does she do in school? Is she failing? Does she have any friends?
"Two years? For someone at your age, that's pretty impressive." Most child heroes die young. Very young. Some don't even last a month after starting a superhero career.

"My friends helped me get through it back where I lived. Since we started at about the same age. Okay, they were closer to sixteen and nineteen, but... still! Who're your friends?"

Annie smirked, "I don't know them all that well either, just met them. This is Bright Knight, Creeper, and the one walking off is Dark Son."

The Bright Knight gave a small smile before turning to follow DarkSon. She moved quietly, grateful that her armor was in such wonderful condition as it was. She imagined trying to be sneaky in the rusted, too-big armor she had used back home. She smirked. At least something good had come of the Scientist's experiments.
