Day 44: Arts and Crafts Room, 4th Shift

Sep 30, 2009 17:12

The day had been slow for L so far, slower than he required: the events of the previous night were traumatic, but they did not outweigh his need for information and a useful way in which to apply whatever he might learn ( Read more... )

Creative...how creative could you be when you had a timer over you head that counted down toward your death? (--or potential maiming. Some capes thought they were interchangeable.) But regardless of his figurative Doomsday Clock, Hartley still had a promise to keep ( ... )

Marcus had managed to get a glimpse of who he assumed to be the Piper he was looking for putting a note on the bulletin board. What sort of villain name was Piper, anyway? After a moment's pause, Marcus made his way over to where the guy was making a sign in arts and crafts as though he were a kid. Given the behavior Marcus had seen so far, he wasn't expecting anyone capable of acting like a sane, mature adult. Especially given that it seemed as though he was talking to himself.

"Piper?" Marcus asked, standing over the table where the Piper was seated. This wasn't a conversation he wanted to have right now. It was not going to go well, and he didn't have to be a Fortunata to know that. But this needed to be resolved before things got any sillier or even more out of control. It was also probably best for Piper's safety that this all came to an end.

Had he never met the people in life that he had, Hart would have never stooped to this sort of thing--what with paint all over his hands, threatening to dash the whole thing over with glitter. But truth of the matter was that he had and nothing was going to remove that which they'd given him; the ability to lighten up.

"Pied Piper, Hartley Rathaway, Henry Darrow--what have you. I am he." he replied calmly, affording a small glance over as the other sat down. "--for your sake, I'm assuming we're skipping the hand-shaking. Mine are a bit--" He rubbed thumb and forefinger together, feeling the paint tack up against his skin. "--untidy at the moment."

As much as he ought to bow out and be sweet and meek for the moment, the defenses were on the rise. The snark would be out in no time, and as such would be unwilling to retreat unless physical harm was threatened. This...oh shit.

This would be tricky.

"I believe you wanted to talk?"

It was good that Marcus had the right man. He didn't want to try to track someone down in the arts and crafts room of all places. "Yes, we're skipping the hand-shaking," Marcus confirmed ( ... )

There was just something about Statesman--that sort of Superman-ish aura he was giving off... It was the kind that sent lesser villains to cower and the innocent to cheering.

Hart had met his fair share of heroes--villains too. And while the feeling tugged at him, it wasn't enough to unsettle him. When backed against the proverbial wall like this, his earlier nervousness faded too readily into a defensive snark. But as he wasn't home and there were no others around to back him,

('I'd have your back, Pipes.' Pbbbht. Yeah, sure you would, Tricks ( ... )

"I'm all for turning over a new leaf," Despite how infrequent it happened. Marcus knew all too well just how. "But don't slip up." At least Piper seemed like he'd come to his senses about being a villain.

"You may have known your share of villains, but I sincerely doubt you've known anyone like him," Marcus was fairly sure that Piper wasn't from a closely related dimension, and it seemed like incarnates were non-existent outside those where he and Stefan had found the Well.

Marcus grabbed the glitter carefully and set it near Piper, trying to avoid getting any of it on him. Well, he'd be changing before he went out for the night even if he did get some on him. This was just absurd, Marcus had known children that acted more like adults than this.

Don't slip up? Nice. How many times had he heard that and from how many sides? He didn't want to think about it.

'Well, there were the Rogues...' James, no. 'Wally, with every time you went to help out.' No. 'He did it mostly. I exaggerate. You know that.' James, please. '--you mean I can't continue my list?' Shut -up- already ( ... )
