Issue #10
I'm sorry I had to cancel my shift at the library this morning.
The Scarab apparently crawled out of my back and went into hibernation mode during the night. I grabbed it and and ran out of the room, a bit panicked, and it suddenly reactivated. Had been shut down since midnight, so I knew it was a curse, and checked the Network. Thought it might have been my room deactivating my powers (the Scarab's powers?). But once I got to work, it happened again (good thing I'd decided to opt for actual clothes today). After testing, realized that the problem was being in a room with books. Which was awkward, and led to the me not working today thing. I mean, I guess I could have worked but it didn't seem fair on the Scarab, and it just feels weird without him.
Embarrassingly enough, it took my about five minutes to realize why I was hearing ticking. Is it that loud for everyone all the time?
BTW, did anyone see Batman? I thought I saw Batman the other night.
Why wouldn't he call me?
[In Case of Evil filter]
Today's curse got me thinking--normally people can't throw books at me, but these curses make people do such crazy things that somebody might need to know how to stop me at some point.
ICoE Plan A: If Scarab realizes something is wrong, he will deactivate powers, eliminating most of the possible threat, most of my friends capable of taking care of things after that.
Plan B: If I can somehow keep Scarab working through sheer force of will, but he knows something is wrong, he will try to mess with my powers long enough for Kara (& anyone interested in helping) to take me down.
Plan C: If the above problem occurs and the Scarab can't do anything, Rachel messes with my mind enough that the Scarab can get control. (Rachel can you do that?)
Plan D: If I have full control of the Scarab/the Scarab is also evil, everyone run Rachel can probably still do something, but be careful of the Scarab attacking your mind in return. Maybe someone can protect Kara from the kryptonite radiation I will probably try to use against her, allowing her to take me down.
Plan E: If Kara and Rachel aren't available, someone with electromagnetic powers? Oh, but not someone with just electric powers, I would probably try to drain them. Magnets might work?
Plan F: If enough people fight me, I'll tire out eventually. Anyone without really strong powers should stay clear. (Kate, I'm looking at you. No, seriously.)
Plan G: Cut the Scarab out of me. This can be done if I've been overpowered to the point where the armor shuts down. However, if the armor is activated
Plan H: [Redacted]
Plan I: If the armor is not activated, I'm relatively defenseless. I can't imagine why the armor wouldn't be activated, though.
Plan J: Magic. Especially if it's someone not from my world. Whoever it is with magical powers should act quick, before the Scarab figures out how to fight back.
Plan K: Trickery? Might be safer for everyone than a straight up fight, but for obvious reasons I can't make any suggestions.
Ugh. This is like trying to play chess against myself. It's like...there are probably people here (besides the deities) who are more powerful than me, but how would I know? And can I trust all of them? And what if everyone is evil at the same time? Though, maybe all the damage would just be undone at midnight. I don't even know how powerful I am because there are so many things I won't let the Scarab do.
Anyway, if I ever do get out of control, protect the civilians and do whatever you have to do to stop me from hurting anyone. But if I'm doing something that won't hurt anyone but me (or maybe inanimate objects), DON'T INTERFERE. It's not worth it.
[ooc: Right now the ICoE filter is viewable to Kara, Kate, Rachel and Billy--anyone he comes to trust in the future can view previous entries with this filter. Also, Jaime may know Batman personally but he does not know Batman=Bruce Wayne. I think both remaining in ignorance and suddenly getting clued in are equally funny--Kara (or others) may choose to clue him in or not as they wish. Last post before his hiatus, see you in a bit. Once I'm back, I'd like a plot involving Jaime going evil (or just a bit out of control) to happen.]
