War: Horsemen of the Apocalypse Log #2 - 3rd to 5th June

WHO: War and YOU!
WHERE: Everywheeeeere!
WHEN: 3rd to 5th June
WHAT: Second part of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse Plot. This means War! Time for grumpiness, arguments, fighting and all out war between friends and foes as the War ring takes it’s hold. Spread via close proximity to the ring, this can be caught at any of the main hero cities throughout the stated dates thanks to a well travelled lawyer and his camera crew. Characters affected by the ring’s power will first feel levels of irritation, which will give way to all out paranoia, temper tantrums and violent tendencies only hours later.
WARNINGS: Possibility for extreme violence, death and other potentially disturbing scenarios. Please state in headers if you believe there to be anything extra needs to be warned about.

It starts with little more than a thought. That little niggling feeling in the back of your mind when you know it’s going to be a bad day. You can’t quite put your finger on where it came about or why, but it’s not hard to notice a rise in irritation. Someone coughing too loudly, some idiot cutting in front of you on the sidewalk or in a car, even your best friend telling a joke that suddenly sounds like it might be a personal dig at you: it’s all enough to set you on edge. You might try and ignore it, but little by little that aggression starts bubbling to the surface, weighing you down until you just want to snap.

It’s okay to let your thoughts be heard! Better to say what you think than keep them bottled inside. Better to get a little physical than leave yourself unheard. So maybe you were a little rude to someone. You might have even punched a guy just for walking nearby, but it’s to be expected. It’s their own fault.

But those feelings don’t stop no matter how much you yell and shout, or how determined you are to silently brood and glare. Soon it becomes apparent that someone is out to get you. It could be those guys who have been staring you down, or that friend of yours that’s obviously been stabbing you in the back. Maybe it’s those spies that have been sneaking around your apartment complex, or the Walkers that have slowly started to shuffle their decaying bodies through the streets. Whoever or whatever it is, you know that it’s up to you to get rid of them! It may be an idea to team up, after all there’s plenty of others out there who you could form a strong alliance with to help right the wrongs and fight the evil, but if there isn’t you know you can go it alone and still win.

Try to find a weapon or get yourself to a vantage point. Anything that will help you win this war!

Just try to save some for the rest of us.

I know how to do my job!

[ She turns around, but the man has already put some distance between himself and Peej, running as fast as his legs can allow him. Peej tenses, her heels digging into the ground before she takes off after him. ]

Hey!
liverletdie: (Iron Man | Don't even try it)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-08 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently you don't --

[ He muttered, to himself, before he took off after her, the ground practically crumbling from the force of his jets so close to the already loose concrete. Thankfully, he was pretty fast -- and he reached out to tackle her to the ground before she reached him. ]
boobwindow: (goddamn furries)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-08 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Get off!

[ Her body slams into the ground, face hitting the dirt. Some of it gets into her mouth, which she spits out angrily as she struggles to shake Tony off. She doesn't like what he's trying to do and it's wearing her patience thin.

Screw it.

She swings her arm, this time with every intention of knocking him into the air. ]
liverletdie: (Half and Half)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-10 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ He didn't realize what she was doing until it was too late, Power girl too fast, even to predict what she was doing. He went flying, up into the air, faster than he could take off --

And he spun in the air, once he got control of himself, and he let his rockets take off.
]

Stop! [ He managed, before he went flying, trying to tackle her back down to the ground. ]
boobwindow: (ow)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-10 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She curses loudly when she's face down in the dirt again. Her arms and legs kick out, struggling to get Tony off of her once more. When she's able to lift her head several inches, she uses her heat vision to give herself a boost and flies in reverse, taking Tony with her into the nearby trees. ]

Back. Off!
liverletdie: (Iron Man | DEM FEETS)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ He went flying, the high whine of his jets kicked into high gear with heat vision flying, and then there was Power Girl at his chest, and he sucked in a breath, even while his words kept spilling out, digital interface giving him the power to do both at once. ]

Yeah, and if I do that, you're probably going to hate yourself later for doing something you're going to regret.

Why don't you just go punch a boulder, or something?
boobwindow: (too much testosterone in the room)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-10 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a better idea.

[ She reaches over her head to grab Tony by the shoulders and fling him forward like a rag doll. ]

How about I knock that suit off you instead?
liverletdie: (Iron Man | Enroute)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-10 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He went flying, before he kicked it into reverse, arms stretched out before him, so he could send himself backwards. ]

You know I can probably survive that.

[ pointedly, He didn't mention that the pieces of his suit would reform around him, after they fell off. ]

Come on -- [ He hissed, finally frustrated enough to lose it and reach out on his approach back to land a punch in her direction, aiming for the shoulder, trying to knock her trajectory off, and send her flying in the wrong direction. ]
boobwindow: (still cheating)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-11 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ She slams backwards, barricading through several trees and snapping the thicker branches before she's able to skid to a halt midair. She braces against one of the trees to balance herself, eyes glowing a dangerous shade of red. ]

Why are you doing this?!

[ She blasts a wave of heat vision in Tony's direction, disregarding the the fact the wave slices off the tops of the trees and sends them tumbling below where people walking through flee in a panic. ]
liverletdie: (Iron Man | Oh Think Twice)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-11 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
J --

[ He almost swore, swerving, before he realized where the trees were going, and tried to knock them out of the way, managed to kick one back at the trees, the other two fell straight down, and there were people running in all directions. ]

That's why I'm doing this! You're out of control.
boobwindow: (GREG HORNNNN)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-11 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Everything was fine until you showed up!

[ She cuts through the air, heading straight for Tony again. ]

You're not on our side anymore, are you? That's what this is about!

[ When she's close enough, she grabs his head and yanks it downwards to knee him directly in the metal-plated face. That should rattle his brains, helmet or not. ]
liverletdie: (Iron Man | HUD)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-11 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Wh --

[ Ringing in his ears, he stopped, and went stiff, his body stopped, taut, like a system rebooting. He could practically see it, the error, the one that meant that his body and mind were in disconnect. It was a simple matter, really, initiate reboot sequence --

Get things working again. Jury-rig the code until he could take a moment to get it back to normal.

It was seconds, really, but long enough. His helmet was dented.
]

Of course I am! But you aren't -- you're too focused on what you don't like about me that you're not thinking about what you're not doing -- do you really not care about the people down there you could've killed?

[ He might not be able to move, but dammit -- he can still talk. ]
boobwindow: (o...h...)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-11 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ She freezes for a moment, her gaze extending below and finally it seems to occur to her when she sees people screaming and fleeing the scene. A couple of people are on their phones, on the line with 911 but a "violent female imPort".

It's like a Kryptonite-packed punch to the face, but it doesn't last too long. Confusion clouds her mind and trying to straight out her thoughts strains her. She covers her ears, wincing. ]


This... I didn't...
liverletdie: (I just don't get this)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-12 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's different. His jets cool, slightly, and he watched her carefully. ]

You didn't what? Weren't thinking? Or is this...?

[ He didn't know if it was, but he could figure it might be another import thing. This wasn't like Power Girl, at all. ]
boobwindow: (brace yourselves etc.)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-14 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ It literally feels like someone's crammed their fingers into a crack in Peej's skull, applying enough to pressure to split it further apart. It hurts and clouds her focus and judgment, and more importantly, it drives her mad. ]

Stop... messing. With. My. Head!

[ She pushes past the pain, the confusion clearing finally. ]

Who the hell are you? You're clearly not Stark.

[ She doesn't wait for an answer and zips after him, ready to kick him down into the ground. ]
liverletdie: (Iron Man | Losing)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-14 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And Peej is fast -- too fast for even Tony's enhanced senses, the immediate reaction-time of a computer is still too slow against a Kryptonian. By the time he realized where she was headed, it was too late, and he didn't even get a chance to do more than make a sound, before she kicked him down. ]

I--Oomph --

[ Even through metal, it hurt, and it hurt even more when the suit slammed into the concrete, leaving a deep indent. ]
boobwindow: (slams face into boulder)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-16 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ In a split-second she joins him on the ground, forcing herself upon him so she keeps him pinned against the ground. With one hand at his throat, she uses the other to repeatedly punch at the mask. ]

Who are you?!

[ If she sounds paranoid, it's because she is. ]

There's no way the real Tony Stark could get into my head like this! All of this is some kind of trick, isn't it? The people? Maybe even that thief from before?
liverletdie: (It's just business)

[personal profile] liverletdie 2015-06-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ Now he just sounded confused. ] You saw the thief get away. How the hell could he suddenly suit up out of nowhere?

[ He let the mask go, let it be peeled off like it wasn't stuck there. No need to force his suit closed, right? He'd heal. He choked, audibly, and looked her right in the eye. ]

Nobody but me can pilot this suit, now give me the faceplate back, and try not to harm any civilians this time.
boobwindow: (my breasts can tell when it's raining)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-06-17 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how! But... somehow!

[ It's hard to make the connections when everything feels out of focus one second and then hyper-focused the next. When she sees Tony's face she forces herself away, a few feet in the air. Her chest heaves up and down. ]

At the very least you're not going anywhere for a while. Don't come near me again!

[ She takes off, not sure she wants to keep looking for that thief from earlier. What she needs is to recuperate, get as far as possible from whoever is targeting her mind and then strike back twice as hard. ]
