all of us are in your face
WHO: An incognito Octopus & YOU
WHERE: All over
WHEN: Throughout March
WHAT: Doctor Octopus is exploring the Porter cities, and stumbles across some historical mirages
WARNINGS: He's a bit of a creeper. Also one of the mirage prompts involves seeing an execution by hanging.
It's been a bit since he's arrived. He spent some time on the Network, enough to get a grasp of the basics. He feels no particular urge to add his voice to the din just yet. Now is the time for patience. Patience and research.
For one, the cold war continues. Though from what he's been able to gather, they've replaced the nuclear with the superpowered -- a fascinating concept. Speaking of those with superpowers, the entire concept of the imPort wasn't quite the same approach as costumed heroes got in his own world. Their sheer popularity alone made it worth investigating. He's also in a new city. Four cities, practically, since the porter made travel between them so convenient. None of which are familiar to him. But Otto isn't going to let that deter him.
He's mostly undercover. He's wearing his usual sunglasses, and a hat he also managed to find. He's also donned a very loose, thick coat he managed to acquire, keeping his arms curled up carefully under it, just in case. But a particularly observant person might notice that something isn't right there; something is odd about that man's coat.
But while he might be trying to stay on the down-low, there's something else worth investigating: those mirages.
In Heropa he stops to observe a well-dressed gentleman from the 1500s. He circles the figure, before stopping and snapping his fingers before the man's face. He lets out a breath from his nose. "A poor illusion. What purpose does it serve?"
In Nonah, a soldier from the first world war rushes forward to embrace a woman with bright blonde hair. Otto abruptly remembers the woman he had been with at home, Stunner. What happened to her after he died? He turns away from the vision with a sour look on his face. But if he catches someone looking, he'll scowl at them.
In Maurtia Falls, there's a whole gallows visible. The crowd below, the executioner, a man with a bag on his head -- he's led up to the rope. Otto watches the scene passively. He doesn't move a muscle or seem to care at all when the plank is dropped and the criminal's life ends with a short fall.
He's far more interested in the reactions of the locals, who seem horrified and confuseb Almost under his breath he says, "The visions don't seem like a regular occurrence."
In De Chima there's a glimpse of Nikola Tesla working on his magnifying transmitter. It's only brief, lasting just a few seconds, but Otto smiles wide. "Magnificent."
((I'm fine with brackets or prose, so feel free to use whatever you're comfortable with!
Also, he's on the lookout for imports, so if your character is obviously an import, well-known as one for whatever reason, or uses video on the Network a lot -- please let me know if it's okay for Otto to recognize them!
Finally, if you want a starter for your character in particular, please feel free to hit me up. ))
