003 ☁ Video & Action ; Backdated to the 28th!

[temperedtempest]

[Good day, Luceti. I hope you didn't have any outdoor plans today; or if you did, hopefully you're willing to brave the outside with the weather as it is. It's dark and terribly windy, with ominous clouds hanging overhead - the Wicked Witch Ororo seems to have decided that no sun shall shine over the village until she feels like it. She much

[What's a wicked witch without dealing with a Black Knight? Well, Adell answers via video, clad in heavy ebon plate, though his helmet is open-faced, revealing a face like the one in the icon.]

...You call that a worthy capture?

[temperedtempest]

It is the only capture I am interested in, at the moment. What does it matter to you, Knight?

[vulcanblazer]

If that is your sole target in your endeavor, and you are willing to settle that low, then your services for dealing with other princesses would prove to be... inadequate.

[temperedtempest]

[Archly:] Can you do better, then, Sir Knight? Or perhaps you are offering your services to me?

[kineticcajun]

[Gambit isn't too sure which part of this is funniest, but it's a very close run between that jaunty hat and Princess Dragneto in the back. This. Is priceless.]

Guess I oughta thank you for de weather. Made my job a whole lot easier.

[Good haul today. It's a bit soggy, but still a good haul.]

[video]

[temperedtempest]

Job, Gambit? And just what have you been up to? [Did Magneto employ him here, too? Just as well that she kidnapped him when she did, then!]

[video]

[kineticcajun]

[No dice, Ororo. Heck, she's practically done him a favor here.]

Wealth redistribution, chere. Take from de rich to give to de poor.

[He's like Robin Hood. Except that he just steals for the fun of it half the time. And he's kept a good amount of the stuff he's nabbed.

So he is, in fact, nothing like Robin Hood, but this week he likes to think he is.]

[video]

[temperedtempest]

Is that right? ... Somehow I have trouble seeing you being so generous. [Never mind that in Luceti, there isn't much of a difference in wealth since, you know, there isn't any money.]]

[Action] | If this is okay? ;3;

[talontrot]

[Ororo's storm might spell doom and gloom and in general all sorts of unpleasant things for the average Lucetian, but to the majestic, brilliant Thunderbird (or at least the cartoon version circling around), it is a glorious herald of her godly power. She can even pretend she has something to do with it, beating her wings loudly in time with the real booms of thunder. And there isn't even any rain! This is the weather Kazooie feels made for, right now.

At some point, of course, this gaudy little Thunderbird might grab Ororo's attention, as loud and annoying as she is. Especially if she decides to perch in a window and peer in at Princess Dragneto.

... And laugh, because that's how she rolls.]

[Action] | Of course it is! :D

[temperedtempest]

[Well, that's something she wasn't expecting. Ororo will raise one eyebrow at the bird perching on her impromptu tower's windowsill (she has hijacked a room at Community Housing 3) Much as she doesn't like the intrusion, she can't find it in herself to be cruel to an animal.]

Can I help you, little bird?

[Action] | Awesome \o/

[talontrot]

[In response, Kazooie just grins, cocking her head up at Ororo and her silly witch's outfit.]

Don't suppose you'd know anything about someone named Gruntilda, right?

[Ororo's costume is far more familiar to Kazooie than most. You see, she's used to seeing a lady looking something like this, and considering that Grunty is based off the Wicked Witch...]

... Though I mostly came in here to laugh at that princess-guy. A god's gotta take some time off of making an awesome storm! [She is taking credit for your work, Ororo...]

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[She was all set to ask about this Gruntilda person when she realizes this bird is taking credit for her storm. Her already-raised eyebrow climbs ever higher.]

You think this storm is of your own making, little bird? [Can you hear the accusation in there?]

[Video]

[titango]

[Having completed his stint as evil troll villain, it's a more pragmatic Robin browsing the journal today. Sure, there's a princess all tied up and bound for a terrible death, but it's not his princess, so who cares?]

That's a terrible job with the rope. Amateur knotting, really.

[Video]

[temperedtempest]

It's proven sufficient for the past hour or so. And who are you to judge, child?

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Oh hey, it's that antisocial git lovely princess she helped pick out clothing for in the stores. Deep down, Nami finds this whole situation kind of ... hilarious.

But she is a prince, and princes do what they must do, and thunder and lightning and howling winds is a perfect backdrop for a dramatic rescue. Nami pauses long enough to fish her raincoat down from the back of her bedroom door and then steps outside, braving the weather in order to find the evil witch with those seriously enviable weather powers, coat flapping... dramatically.]

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Well, if Prince Nami and her dramatic coat will pause to use her own weather powers, perhaps she'll notice that the center of all this terrible weather is over at Community Housing 3.]

[... Or maybe she'll just spot the wicked witch Ororo at one of its topmost windows, all glowing eyes and static-y hair and having no concept of discretion at all.]

[Action]

[mikangirl]

[Aw, man. How come she doesn't get to have glowing eyes and static-y hair? Life's just not fair sometimes.

Common sense tells her she should just enter the building and climb the stairs and maybe rescue the princess Dragneto while Storm is busy posing it up, but that's no fun. A prince has to make his challenge known, far and wide!

Storm will certainly feel that powerful wind gusting up the building and punching into those dark clouds overhead. Is that a hint of sunlight peeking through? Don't mind Nami, she's just... trying to look impressive down on the ground there.]

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Sunlight?? Ororo will have none of that! With an impatient wave of her hand, the clouds seem to fold back in place. No sunshine for you, Luceti!!]

[And eventually she will turn her gaze to the building wind interrupting her perfectly blustery day. Her eyes narrow and spark with lightning. Time to ham it up in here.]

Who dares challenge Storm, Mistress of the Elements?
