RED HOT CATCH-ALL
WHO: Kyle Conlen redhott and YOU!!
WHERE: All over
WHEN: All October long
WHAT: Nerding and heroing and likely more nerding will be found here
WARNINGS: N/A for now
Give Me that Toot Toot
[ Another window breaks and blows out from the gasses bottling up behind it. The flames quickly lick over the window frame and up toward the roof. Kyle is on the ground floor telling anyone who is not fire responders to vacate the premise and give the rest of them space.
He takes the top floors where the most damage is being caused. Literally born from Hellfire, Kyle is immune to its heat and pain; it would be like a stroll through the park if people's lives weren't on the line. That's what gets him hopping from room to room calling out for any survivors. Eventually he finds one woman barricaded in a supply closet that has yet to feel the heat of the fire closing in. She unlocks the door and stares at him in terror. That's certainly nothing new when facing imminent death. But that's not today. Covering her in a thick blanket, he grabs her under the knees and carries her out of the building where they are both safe on solid concrete. ]
Can someone take her please?
[ He needs to go back in ASAP to find more people. ]
Give You that Beep Beep
[ Fire is one thing. It's easy to be a hero when you have the solution to the problem right at your fingertips. Before had recently turned eighteen, Kyle and his team of junior heroes weren't allowed to do anything more strenuous than search and rescue.
So this gas station hold up is a little out of Kyle's league. It wasn't something he chose, rather with no police on the scene, Kyle knew he had to take action. That action came in the form of a spandex suit, a lot of open palms, and talking as the gunmen kept switching his target from Kyle to the clerk. So, yeah, he's definitely out of his element here, but there's no way he would let this clerk meet a bad fate alone without help. ]
It's the Freakin' Weekend
[ Kyle has found his Nerd Mecca, and it is glorious. Deep in downtown Nonah, he is up to his eyeballs in electronic stores, comic shops, resell shops, all kinds of things that any dork would desire. Several electronic and gaming stores have outside displays and demos to lure in their customers. Some are playing two-player console games, others are playing something called Boogie Boogie Battleground which looks an awful lot like Dance Dance Revolution.
It's fun to watch some of the good kids play for a bit to oohh and ahh over their skills. but eventually, Kyle moves on to get to the good stuff: the comics. He's curious to see if their stock is the same as back home, or maybe he'll find a whole host of new favorites to follow. So he goes browsing through the shelves, picking out a few issues here and there that sound intriguing.
He finds one about mechs that looks interesting. The detail on the robots is incredible, but that's not all that keeps Kyle's blue eyes. Two of the pilots are standing beside the cockpits. The girl is wearing practically nothing—And so is the guy! Seriously, that might as well be body paint... mayeb it is body paint. ]
Holy shit...
'Bout to Have Me Some Fun
[ Maurtia Falls may not be the most friendly city, but it has a booming nightlife and that's what Kyle has come to see, or see from the sidelines. Whichever. All the neon and booming bass from the clubs is enticing, but he's looking for a specific kind.
And boy are they always easy to spot. Rainbow flags line one street left and right, and the clientele is all over the road. This is what he came for. It's mostly gay men, but there are women here and there walking together. Every time he passes a gaggle of them, he can feel the assessment he's getting. It's a little uncomfortable, especially when he's not quite dressed for speculation. He's not conservative by any means, but he sure looks boring in his nice graphic tee and loose jeans. Honestly, his biggest problem right now is finding a club that allows eighteen year olds in. There's usually one or two youth support groups that open up at night for the younger crowd to party responsibly, but it's been a lot of trial and error asking one bouncer after another. ]

▸ it's the freakin' weekend
Perhaps with that very notion in mind but more likely on impulse, Diablo steps inside the comic shop. It's been a long time since he's been inside one, let alone even read a comic, but purely out of habit his eyes scan over the shelves for the titles his kids used to read. Then, after another moment, he blinks and regroups: that Jaime kid probably likes comic books, right? Diablo could pick him up something in return for his advice about the whole church thing, maybe, so he turns to ask the nearest person of an equivalent age -- which turns out to be Kyle -- what might be, like, good to get. ]
Hey. [ The guy's reading... something... but, it's really just a quick question. ] You got a second so I can ask you something?
no subject
Uhm, yeah, sure... [ He tries to subtly put the issue back on the shelf. It's a little too scanty to be seen with. ] What's up?
no subject
He squints slightly at Kyle's comic, though based on the cover alone it really only looks like a comic to him, not like they somehow got the illustrated answer to Hustler magazine in here -- well, okay, they still might -- then huffs out a slightly aggravated breath, as if asking a stranger's opinion is the most embarrassing or painful thing in the world.
Finally, he gestures loosely toward the shelves of comics. ]
Well, what's good here? I ain't read no comics since I was a kid, so, you know... I mean, someone like you, you got any favorites?
no subject
Uhhh most of these comics I've never heard of, but uhmm... I can try and give you some recs. What kinda genres do you like?
no subject
He shakes his head, hands held out as if to say fuck if I know. ]
Nah, it ain't for me. It's supposed to be a gift, except, I dunno what he likes. Figured it only right if I do something, though -- he about your age, too, so I thought maybe you'd know something.
no subject
[ Without knowing what the guy likes, Kyle can only make some educated guesses. But he'll do his best. He takes a better glance around the shelves looking for series that are stacked with the cover facing out so as to be seen. ]
Uhmm let's go with one about teams. That way there's plenty of characters to choose from.
no subject
He turns, eyes following wherever Kyle's happen to land, and plucks a random title off a random shelf to flip through it carefully. A brightly costumed group graces the cover, depicted at a strange angle to add some sense of drama. Diablo thinks it looks dopey, but he always liked the somewhat weird stuff, the horror and suspense comics or anything with aliens. ]
What's wrong with the one you was just reading? No good?
no subject
[ Oh my God, dude, drop it. Drop it! ]
no subject
Oh yeah, that's right. Storylines. [ He is so out of his depth here. He is just a humble comics casual! ] I forgot everything part of everything else now -- like it's all connected, right? How's anyone ever know what's going on anymore?
no subject
[ Guys usually like boobs, right? ]
I'm sorry for the delay askfjksh
[ Diablo wrinkles his nose slightly, considering that suggestion but... dubiously. Not that he'd have turned away such comics when he was eighteen himself, but, it just doesn't strike him as necessarily appropriate. ]
Don't no one read those comics about like, spaceships and science experiments no more?
