Dark Hero Lucius episode 001: Bad Hair day

[ahogauge]

(Action, Stevens road)[This morning, a very loud, very girlish scream could be heard coming from inside 2240 Stevens road this morning. To say Lucius was having a bad hair day would be an understatement. His tension gauge was gone, and any attempts to recreate the ahoge had failed. Horribly. Several more screams, followed by a burst of rage as he

Oh, Lucy! Did you lose your... whatever it was?

[ahogauge]

My tension gauge! Yes! It seems to have disappeared off my head! You wouldn't have happened to know anything about that, would you?

[assassinidol]

Huh? Why would I know anything about that? Maybe you lost it somewhere, or maybe Riz cut it off while you were sleeping!

[You know, like, before waking up here or something.]

[ahogauge]

Because you said the Demon Dog King was here the other day! And you're living with him! Don't ask me why I didn't realize it wasn't there then....

If she were to wield scissors near my person, I'm pretty sure more would be cut off than just my hair. I don't think she would stop at my tension gauge.

[Shudder]

[Hearing the scream from across the street, Ruri shrugged, walking over and knocking on the door, staring with her usual deadpan]

"Hrm..."

[ahogauge]

[He figured that'd give him some attention... probably some unwanted attention... he opens the door, grumbling.]

Yes? What is it? Can't you see I'm in the middle of a crisis?

[hontobakabaka]

[Deadpan stare/quiet and unimpressed voice]

"Yes, I guessed that, however, if you keep doing that there are many idiots who will come and give you a speech about love and justice. I could go get them if you want, but, I would think they'd give most people a headache."

[ahogauge]

...I would rather not, I've just gotten used to not hearing Flonne attempt to convert me into a Hero of Light.... The fact there are more people like her is disturbing enough on its own...

1/???

[ahogauge]

[That voice.]

2/???

[ahogauge]

[OH GOD IS IT HER PLEASE DO NOT LET IT BE HER]

aaaand i'm done i think.

[ahogauge]

[Yeah... that is. That voice and telling him a dark hero isn't possible...]

A dark hero is totally possible! I've got a tragic back story that leads to a downfall! I mean, you've even HEARD my tragic past, you goddamned Justice Freak. Don't they have those in those animes you love and everything? For you to say that a Dark Hero isn't even possible wounds me deep! It's like you don't even have any clue who I am!

[demondogdays]

Ha? Why would I ever even want to do that? I've got other things to do than give you a needed hair cut, Lucius. But if it is a fight that you want then I'm always ready to accept your challenge!

But it looks like Mizuki was right. I wonder if that means everyone else from Empyria is slowly coming over here too?

[ahogauge]

Bring it, dog-ears! I don't even need my weapons to fight you! Or my levels!

[demondogdays]

Whoa, you actually sound really confidant! I guess if that's the case then I won't hold back either! Name a place and time, Lucius! I'll give you a good reminder of the Demon Dog King's power when it hits the level cap!

[ahogauge]

Y-you're capped?!
[girlish scream]
....on second thought, give me a bit!

[abravelikehero]

Um, everything is taken away here, so... I'm sure it wasn't anything personal against you.

[ahogauge]

Of course I'm going to take it personally! How can I be on par with my rival if I don't have my stuff! They even took away my defining gimmick! You just don't do that to a man, no matter how evil he is!

[abravelikehero]

It's not gone forever though, I'll get it back in the mail! What is your gimmick anyway?

[ahogauge]

My tension gauge! Only the coolest hairstyle to ever grace a Dark Hero's head! Even cooler than flowing silvery hair!
