17 * come an' get me boys

[starchilde_lost]

This is the craziest game of capture the flag I've seen in a long while. I just might have to play along. I mean, who needs a Danger Room when you have the entire City as your battlefield?

You're grumpier than usual and the beer levels in the fridge are reaching alarming proportions.
Something on your mind?

Come an' get me boys!

Oh man, not you too, Rach.

[starchilde_lost]

I'm not cursed, Kate, I just happen to think this is kinda fun.

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Well, if a blonde guy wearing fistigons comes near you, beat him back. Chase has no chance against the girls.

[starchilde_lost]

Ohhhh, grudge battle of the sexes match? Done and done. He have powers, too, or just the 'guns?

[girlwithabow.livejournal.com]

Just the guns. Unless you count his big mouth as a weapon.

[starchilde_lost]

Can't possibly be any worse than than the guys I know.

He into showy battle-cry's?

I bet I could get the flags and I have this desire to do so just to mess up everyone's game. I think I may do that. I wish I had an evil laugh or something.

This is better then the Danger Room, trust me.

[starchilde_lost]

Do it - it's like a City-wide video game in action today and it will totally mess with their game.

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

Or I could phase the flags partially into places so they can never get them!

[starchilde_lost]

Oh, my God - set up a camera if you do that, I wanna see!

[phasedcat.livejournal.com]

If only I had my uniform.

[starchilde_lost]

Oh, Kitty, come join me at the Courthouse and I can fix you right up.

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

Plenty.

Most important thing right now, though, is I need you to take a look in a girl's head for me. The one who gave Ric back his powers.

Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Eden? Why in the hell would I do that?!

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

Because it's necessary and because I already asked her all nice-like so you can save your moral qualms for some other time.

Re: Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Jesus, Logan, chill a sec. What the hell am I supposed to be looking for?

And since when is me poking around in someone's head preferable to, I dunno, asking nicely since she's a friend?

Private;

[twodogsfighting.livejournal.com]

A friend you know nothing about. She could be anybody. I want to know if she is who she says she is, why she did what she did, and how she did it.

Private;

[starchilde_lost]

Ric and Jamie trust her, and they've known her a heckuva lot longer than you. That's not enough?

[eternal5thwheel.livejournal.com]

Vile woman!

Your actions are an affront to justice and beauty!

I WILL CLAIM THAT FLAG FROM YOU.

[OOC: Gateau's sorry. T_T]

[starchilde_lost]

Bring it, baby.

[ooc: Rachel is amused.]

[eternal5thwheel.livejournal.com]

MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR DEITY, FOR I COME!!!

[OOC: Action? XD;;;]

[starchilde_lost]

Oh, this is rich....

[ooc: Oh, please, action me. This could be fun. ;D]

Action

[eternal5thwheel.livejournal.com]

[Annnnd a few seconds later he's at her location, barreling forward from between two buildings.]

In the name of love and beauty, UNHAND THE FLAG.

[OOC: Soooooo I don't know how much you know about Gateau's canon, but he's big, sweet, and not too bright. He's very strong and has rather good aim, but as long as Rachel stays out of arm's reach and rock trajectory, she should be able to run rings around him.]

Re: Action

[starchilde_lost]

[Rachel left the ground, hovering as she watched the man burst into view. He looked like strength was his forte, but she'd stay out of his way until she was certain. Still, she made a show of waving the flag and then tucking it into her belt.]

No.

[ooc: And for your sake, Rachel's telekenetic, so she'll just hover and lob the stones back. She will not be using her telepathic gifts in this fight, it wouldn't be as fun.]

Action

[eternal5thwheel.livejournal.com]

[That was Gateau. All muscle and no brain. His eyes narrowed as she began to hover.]

SORCERESS.

[He lunged for her dangling ankles. Experience had taught him that mystical powers or no, most of them weren't prepared for the sheer physical force he could bring to bear.]
