One More Hand To Play

Jun 17, 2007 17:00

If it was one thing about rich people on this earth, Nate found, it was that they tended to be easily rattled. They have the best protection money can by, they figure no one can get past their security, they figure they have nice little bubbles where they'll be totally safe and no harm will befall them. Burst that bubble, you scare them to death ( Read more... )

"another iron war", nate grey, spider-woman jessica drew, "a little piece of home", iron man, sonique

Spider-Woman grins at the party in front of them, her stance purely defensive at the moment. She isn't going to quip - she's Spider-Woman, but she is going apologize for coming dressed in costume. "Really," she explains. "We weren't sure what the dress code was, so we came dressed for comfort." Okay, so maybe she was feeling a little quippy.

"Ours, not yours," explains Sonique kindly.

"Our walls!"

"The new wallpaper!"

"Who would dare attack the Golden Calf casino!" Roars the paunchy man sitting in the throne-like center of the room.

"Eet does not matter..." The boss's very shadow says, twisting into a vaguely humanoid shape...which moves open, caul-like, to reveal a fantasticly pretty man in dark armor and a grim domino mask, "...for theese meddlers face the power of...DARK ROBERTO!"

"Roberto...WHIP!" Dark Roberto shouts out, moving his hands and sending a trip of inky black tentacle-whips at the invading metahumans!

A shield goes up between the whips and those three.

"I guess this must be our host for the evening. Ladies, would you like to give him a proper greeting first?"

venom_blast June 22 2007, 07:21:46 UTC

"Are we really fighting someone named Dark Roberto?" Jessica asks, springing into action. "And seriously...tentacle...no. You know what? Never mind." Jessica goes straight for the handsome one.

He looks like he'll put up a good fight.

barwithnoname June 23 2007, 18:49:50 UTC

"Alack! A teleleleekenetic shield!" DARK ROBERTO exclaims, looking wide eyed, shocked, and otherwise completly bamboozled. He doesn't even seem to see Jessica coming...

"Got you!" At least, until about a second before impact, when the mysterious man sinks into his own shadow! There's a moment of silence, and then.

"Shoot her!" The Pudgy Man orders, pointing his cigar at Spider-Woman. "A lot!"

His goons, four men armed with pistols of various makes, comply quickly after the moment's hesitation, blasting away at Spider-Woman's position! Meanwhile, X-Man may feel a slight tinge in the astral plane...

...before the dread image of DARK ROBERTO rises out of Nate's own shadow! "How you say in the english?" Roberto quearies, his right hand manifesting a wicked looking hatchet of pure darkness, that he quickly swings at Nate! "Boo."

Spider-Woman ducks and dodges the bullets with relative ease, shooting out blast after blast of the bio-electric venom her body produces as sh lands where Dark Roberto...was.

Jessica curses. She's surrounded by four goons. She looks at them each in succession, grinning as she lets loose a heavy wave of pheromones. "Why don't two of you attack Ham-Head over there?" She asks, deftly taking two of them out. She indicates the Pudgy Man. "He looks like he needs a bit of exercise."

red_sonique June 24 2007, 02:41:45 UTC

Sonique only has eyes for Dark Roberto. "Leave him alone!" she screams. Sonic waves ripple through the air as she fights to defend Nate.

the_new_shaman June 24 2007, 19:49:50 UTC

Ok, interesting trick, that, and one that caught Nate off guard. He quickly jumped back, and fired off a tk blast at Dark Roberto.

barwithnoname June 25 2007, 01:05:14 UTC

Fortunately, Nate's shielding blocks at least some of the sonic attack...the rest seems to almost pull DARK ROBERTO apart into a broad, putty-like shadow ( ... )

venom_blast June 25 2007, 01:29:10 UTC

Jessica's eyes widen behind her mask.

Right. So next time I want a vacation, I'm going someplace normal. Like...oh hell, there is noplace normal, is there?

She shoots a string of venom blasts at...she can't even say his name. It's too painful.

"Bake, big boy!"

the_new_shaman June 25 2007, 02:59:48 UTC

Nate blinked at first.

"You know, I really didn't see that one coming."

But the shock quickly passed, and Nate followed Jessica's lead and fired on Senior Doughboy.

"Let's fry his ass!"

barwithnoname June 25 2007, 15:00:41 UTC

"Wait, fry?"

There's a hiss of steam, and a groan of suffering...and, soon, the deed is done. But, well, what do you do with a giant lump of fried dough that was once a man?

"...I surrender." The living gunman says, dropping his weapon.

red_sonique June 25 2007, 15:13:45 UTC

"Uh...." Sonique stares.

the_new_shaman June 26 2007, 04:34:01 UTC

"...yeah." Nate scratches his head a bit. What do you do with a giant lump of fried dough that used to be a man?

...you leave it for the hotel employees to clean up.

Nate glanced over at Jessica.

~Madripoor is your beat. Who else are we supposed to be looking for?~

venom_blast June 27 2007, 03:16:00 UTC

~...~

A heady dose of phermones.

"So what's your story?" Jessica asks NOT-SO-DARK ROBERTO.

"Who are your working for? Or working with? I'd really love a contact list, handsome."
