WHO: Victor von Doom & YOU
WHERE: Throughout all three cities
WHEN: Throughout March
WHAT: Doom catch-all
WARNINGS: None; will edit if needed



DE CHIMA:

[Victor had come to visit De Chima to see the progress his "friend"-- the term used very loosely-- Tony Stark had been able to make during the time that he was marooned on this world. He's impressed, not only by the wealth he'd been able to acrue in the seven years or so of his stranding, but also his reputation, seeking to make a new name for himself as well. He thought, though this was not his world, and though he intended to get back to it, that perhaps this world would serve as a test run to his new public persona as the Iron Man... and less as Doctor Doom.

You'll find him throughout the city, exploring curiously, and stopping for a bite to eat every now and then-- perhaps even at Novi, not knowing that it had, in fact, belonged to Wanda.]

MAURTIA FALLS:

[Victor preferred individual housing, accepting it as a temporary solution as he established his wealth and power. If you're nearby, you'll find him in his yard outside, levitating in the air and meditating quietly, enveloped in a soft green glow of mystical energies. Those with similar abilities themselves may feel this from wherever they are, a deeply ancient and powerful magical aura. Do you approach?]

NONAH:

[The city is currently under siege by two villains-- Ice Boy and Heatwave-- not seen individually since late 2016. But it seems that after their unceremonious defeats, they've decided to team up together to form a supervillain duo, calling themselves Hot N' Cold. How clever. Their goal is nothing more than unbridled destruction (and money...), and you'll find them currently robbing one of Nonah's national banks. That is, of course, until Victor shows up, hovering in the air dressed as the Iron Man, his repulsors aimed at the both of them.]

This can't be why we were all brought here. [He says, disenchanted.] Humorous. Cross me, and fail spectacularly. I recommend surrender.

WILDCARD:

[If none of these prompts work for you, hit me up with anything and/or contact me on Plurk @ BATGUY if you'd like to plan something out!]

Maurita Falls

[tenofswords]

[For once, it wasn't raining in Maurita Falls. That made it a good day to walk down to the corner shop for a coffee and muffin.

But then he paused when he came upon the house with the man levitating in front of it. The Gray Man was used to all the superhero stuff by now, but that didn't mean that a man levitating on his front lawn surrounded by magic wasn't an interesting sight. Therefor, the Gray Man paused in his walk to take a good look.]

[doomedtorepeatit]

[Although he's quite preoccupied busying himself with becoming one with the ley=lines of the planet, focusing himself and his power, he's also quite aware of his immediate surroundings-- including curious passerby.]

Something I can help you with?

[tenofswords]

[The Gray Man remains stoic as he continues his observation of this man.]

Merely a curious onlooker, good sir.

[doomedtorepeatit]

A peculiar sight for rural Pennsylvania, I'm sure. [His eyes remain closed; comfortable.] An emigrant as well?

[tenofswords]

Yes, I am. I have seen many strange things since I was imported.

de chima aka home of the best bakery obvs

[divaricate]

[Truthfully, Wanda's almost finished here. Here as in running this place as a bakery -- she's got hopefully no more than three or four months of this work left.

and as of the past few weeks, well she's had better weeks, and mostly has been making a lot of questionable life choices in those weeks. But hey look she's actually doing something today, even if she looks like she's been run over by a couple semi trucks.

She's working on some pretty cupcakes now.]

[doomedtorepeatit]

[Victor isn't necessarily one for sweets, but there are some rather nice looking almond croissants that catch his eye that he was thinking about having to accompany his coffee.]

A moment of your time, madam.

[divaricate]

[She stops her work and looks over at him with slightly lifted eyebrows.] You know, you can call me Wanda. [Might as well make it ... less weird.] But yeah, sure.

[Her tone implies a question, and there's a half smile on her lips. Again, being less weird. Maybe.]

[doomedtorepeatit]

Wanda. [He remarks, surprised.] My apologies. I meant no intrusion. I was... unaware that you owned this bakery.

[divaricate]

As of the last year and a half-ish. [Which he also wouldn't know, but.] I'm biased, but I think it's pretty nice. Decided what you want?

de chima

[sanguinespell]

[ oh hello doom, who might this young woman entering the cafe you've stopped off in be?? and why is she carrying a distinctive legendary artifact that made dread dormammu tremble, in another reality??

the Staff of One isn't glowing, but it's in active form, hung loosely in her grip. nico steps past victor's table, looking over the chalkboard menu.]

[doomedtorepeatit]

Try the Masala Chai. [His voice calls, gently sipping at his coffee.] I think you'd rather like it.

[sanguinespell]

[she stops in her tracks, looking over to him.]

Sorry, who are you?

[doomedtorepeatit]

Victor. [He looks up.] And you must be Nico Minoru. I'm afraid I've never had the opportunity to meet your counterpart, but the Staff of One is comparatively unmistakable.

[sanguinespell]

I... [okay she's looking pretty spooked out by this, but... intrigued. nobody's really been able to give her answers about this thing, and... well, her reality doesn't have a Doctor Doom, so.

no more trepidation than this weird conversation would normally have.]

Sorry, I'm--wait here for a second? [She goes up and orders, coming back in just a moment with the chai Victor had recommended. Still looking really weirded out by this. Nico presses her thumb down, wincing as the needle activates, collapsing the Staff back into its dormant, wand-like state as she sits down across from him.]

What counterpart? And what do you know about this thing? [In his reality, at least.]

Nonah; of course

[liverletdie]

[ Honestly, the fact that Victor von Doom is sniffing around his city is cause for concern. The fact that he's certainly looked around enough of his properties and places he'd been, is another cause for concern. Add on top of the at the general mistrust that Tony Stark holds for the other man, and it's not surprising that eventually, he made himself known.

But he doesn't bother him in De Chima. He waits, and watches. He waits until he's elsewhere -- Nonah -- and taking on "villains" to come make his presence known.

He doesn't wear the chrome that Hot N' Cold would know, the man who gave them their powers. No, he wore the red and gold, the old suit -- inferior, but he wouldn't be allowing the symbiote near Doom, shackled though it was. It wasn't smart, and he didn't trust him, despite the fact that he was wearing his suit. Something that made Stark's hackles rise, and made him want to go for the throat, if just to remove the technology from his grasp. ]

He's so dramatic, isn't he?

[ He asked the villains. ] Since when do you bother with this street-level stuff? No Doombots to do the work for you?

[doomedtorepeatit]

[His glowing palm remains pointedly at the two of them, though he turns his head towards Tony, as though they're not worth the entirety of his attention.]

Who better to deal with the corrupt than by one whom associated so frequently with their kind? [A pause, and he glances back at them.]

Well... perhaps not quite like them. ["HEY!!" They both yell, offended.]

[liverletdie]

[ It's a mean side of him, but he actually laughed, a tin-can sound that echoed through his vocoder. ]

Well, nobody's quite like Doctor Doom. [ His metal head looked right at the guys, and there's a touch of sarcasm when he speaks. ] Just think, kids, after you go through your dictator streak, you can retire like he did, and steal someone's shtick, tech, and start running around and intimidating them too.

[ That might have come out more pointed than was polite. ] So...are you going to take them in, or do I have to sit and wait for you to finish for an hour, before we have this talk?

[doomedtorepeatit]

[*PEW PEW*

One blast each from his repulsor, without even looking, and they're down.]

Go on.

[liverletdie]

They probably won't remember your name, now.

[ He said, but his tone isn't disappointed, or upset with their fate. They were knocked out, and it was fast and efficient. Not bad. ]

My tech.

[ He pressed a metal finger to his chest. A soft thunk. ] My face, or close enough.

You can understand, for someone who has waged war over such things -- why that's problematic.

maurtia falls

[knaval]

Hey! Excuse me!

[doom's meditation is interrupted by an obscenely tall, skinny teen. riptide waves his map at him.]

You're an imPort, right? Can you give me a hand?

[doomedtorepeatit]

['What does this peasant--' he stops in the middle of that train of thought. Old habits die hard, it seems. From the air, he cracks open one eye, but remains in Full Lotus.]

What can I help you with.

[knaval]

[this extra bitch MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T FLOATING!!!]

Erh-- I'm looking for something. Where's the-- Hard Rock café around here? I don't see any caves, or anything...

[doomedtorepeatit]

[His expression is reservedly incredulous.]

It's a moniker, not-- [A pause.] You are aware that your phone can give you directions, are you not?

[knaval]

Lost it, [he says with a shrug.] Why'd you people call it hard rock if rocks aren't involved?

Humans, honestly...
