RED HOT CATCH-ALL

WHO: Kyle Conlen [personal profile] 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. ]

Green dye may as well be not having a power at all. [It's so boring and annoying to turn things green just from thinking about a color too much. Most of the time he can work around it, but he wasn't paying enough attention this time.]

Unless some super villain is allergic to the color green, I'm not getting much superhero-ing done with it.

[That does make Richie snort in amusement but then sighs just a bit. He reaches for another comic, poking it lightly to see if the "power" is still working, but no green comes out and he thinks it's safe to grab. Absently he adds] You'd think a lifelong comic lover would get some karmic goodwill in there and manage at least flight.

[He knows exactly what power he would have if he could, since he's already got it, and seen what life is like without it too. But Richie shrugs.]

It was my biggest goal as a kid. Somehow get flying powers. Never happened. [When he was a kid.] Nowadays I might go for something more practical. You know like being able to conjure up junk food with the power of my mind.

[Richie shrugs with a grin.] If it's gonna happen anyway I may as well enjoy the process right?

[Oops, he doesn't even notice the slip. Happens when you know your future involves being very round in the middle if you continue your deep enjoy of chili fries.]

Junk food, comic books, and video games. Perfect way to go.

[He looks down at the comic he'd picked up.] Ah... [Wow that is a lot of barely covered boobs on that cover for a superhero costume. Is this one of those Indie comics?] You know, I think I'm done looking. I'll come back on new comic day.

[If only genetics weren't foreshadowing all the things to come for him. Richie seems to realize right at that moment himself they hadn't even exchanged names.]

Oh, man, right. Yeah. Cool to meet you, Kyle. I'm Richie. Always nice to meet other sane people around who know good comics when they see 'em. [He holds out his fist. Time for a bump!]

[personal profile] gearshifting 2016-10-21 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Richie just smiles back at him, a bit of bemusement on his face.]

Yeah, I have no idea what that means.

[Richie's eyes go a bit wide, not in fear, but surprise. He's glad he didn't instinctively back up, because he's been burned a few too many times to not want to avoid. Still, Kyle's "blowing it up" looks ridiculous and cool at the same time and he's done it. They just never called it that.]

I'm pretty sure I can't do that! And when did they even start calling it that? [The trials of being from the early naughts.]

Are you for real, bro? [Richie thinks this might being even nerdier than the secret handshake he and Virgil made up when they were twelve.

But hey, if it's what's cool in the future, why not?]


Let's try it again. [Brofist ready!]

[personal profile] gearshifting 2016-10-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Richie follows suit, making a low, deep noise like something exploding from his fingertips. He can't hold it for long before he starts snickering.]

And to think me and V thought we were cool not doing the dap anymore.
gearshifting: ([Richie] 1007)

[personal profile] gearshifting 2016-10-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you know, giving dap. It's a classic. [Come on, you have to know what giving dap is.] The handshake-shoulder-bump that is the manly version of a hug.
