Kaito | Vocaloid

[ice_cream_ai]

3.

[Hey, turns out you don't have quite enough money in your bank account for something. This AI decided to be "helpful" and did a bit of salami embezzling, stealing pennies from other accounts and deposited it into yours, making the account nice and fat. His image appears on the screen, chirping happily]

There you go~ I noticed your money was low, so I fixed it! :D

[Someone might want to explain the law to him]


6.

[While Kaito's speaking voice is obviously artificial, his singing voice is indistinguishable from a human's - which he used to great effect by hijacking the office building's PA system and singing a lullaby to send the guards off to sleep. A camera swivels to look at you]

Don't worry - I am only using this to see where you are. All evidence will be erased once we leave. Just tell me what else you need me to do. But... why did we need to sneak in?

6

[inelegantwords]

[ Someone needs to remind him that pairing up with an AI is just a little strange especially one that was musically inclined. Oh well, at least he understands music a bit more than other omegafriends. ]

Blue Rhapsody Imbroglio.

[ The only real question is if they can understand each other to get the job done. ]

Re: 6

[ice_cream_ai]

[The Camera makes another swivel, like the cocking of a confused puppy's head as he processed the statement. Imbroglio is a complicated argument, Rhaspody - that he knows. Kaito just can't fit it together]

Uh. Okay?

[One of the electronically locked doors beeped, the light switching from red to green and opens up]

Ky Kiske | Guilty Gear

[ridethelightning]

[3]

[It's a Sunday morning. Either it's before 9:00 and you're catching Ky on his way to church, or it's after 10:00 and you've caught him on his way out of church and toward a nearby diner for brunch. Either way, he's pleased to see you.]

Hello. Today happens to be a day off for me. Would you care to join me?

[5]



[Ky has just emerged victorious in combat against a supervillain. As the police are in the process of arresting them, they challenge Ky about whether he thinks he's doing justice.]

...I'm sorry, did you just ask me about justice? Before I answer, what do you think?

[inelegantwords]

[ The Quandary - the teen headache and puzzle freak of the Omegafriends - really should come with a dictionary since he was just saying that if they come across Lady Blue it's best to keep the normal people out of danger. He hoped they were just looking for clues but hey, sometimes there are fights with bots she 'borrowed' from other villains. ]

Reticent Sinner.

[ There should be a clue around here some where... ]

3

[defyingfateswrath]

[John Day - who is totally not a pirate - scratches his cheek with his good hand, nodding to his neighbor]

Yea, Brunch sounds good right 'bout now. Splitting the check, right?

Roman Torchwick | RWBY

[collectsdust]

[4]

A bit late at night for that kind of outfit, isn't it?


[Well, he might not be a supervillain so much as a mid-boss guy, but you've still caught him mid-heist, and that just won't do. He's set his goons on you while he's trying to make a break for it. Do you give chase?]



[3]

[Even villains have to do mundane chores like grocery shopping and sadly Roman got the short stick this time around. So he's standing in the dairy section trying to decipher the list he'd been handed. His co-workers have terrible handwriting, and his annoyance can be seen by the way he's gritting his teeth, the cigar threatening to fall out of his mouth.]

[ooc: muse is brand-new and relatively untested. you have been warned. here goes nothing.]

Ryuutaros | Kamen Rider Den-O

[dragunner]

1.

[Ryuuta is having a lot of fun fighting the Deviobots. In fact, uh... He might be having a little too much fun.

He doesn't seem to be too concerned about any property damage he might be causing as he keeps firing his fun. Someone... may want to get him to tone it down a little.]

4.

[Well hey there, Omegafriends. Do you like being able to simply walk around the base without having to worry about stepping on a certain someone's childish drawings?

Well, tough.

Ryuutaros doesn't care about the fact that he's in the way. He's too busy drawing to care. He's been at it for a while, so the drawings are everywhere on the floor, but he's not stopping.

He will care if you step on them, though. So better be careful.

You may notice that many of the drawings feature the various members of the Omegafriends. You might be in some of them yourself.]

1

[forgottendecade]

[ He might not be an actual member of the Omegafriends, but Joji just so happen to got caught up in this particular battle. That's what happens when one just happens to be minding their business driving by when a couple bots totally tried trashing him on his bike. So he's a little ticked and pounding bots when someone just so happens to be getting a little carried away there.

So Joji attempts to stop said fun by attempting to grab Ryuutaros by the shoulders. ]

I think they got the point.

General Guy | Paper Mario

[generallyaguy]

6-Venture City Invaded... Sorta

Venture City is in Chaos. Not because some great threat is trying to take it over, mind control the citizens, or what not. But because these new people named Shy Guys have shown up, taking their stuff and taking it to some undisclosed location in Venture City. These Shy Guys with their masks and red cloaks have also carried off citizens as well, their short stature no deterrent from tossing these poor individuals into trees and on top of roofs. While they don't seem overtly dangerous, they are fairly strong for their size and anyone normal that tries to go after them can neither catch them or handle their dazzling acrobatic movies (Or maybe it's the fact they always seem to flash with a bright light whenever they do them.) It's up to Heroes to find the source and reason for this menace!

5-The General Guy Himself

The room was dark, with all the lights off and the churning of some sort of heavy engine running just echoing in the room. It was impossible to source without super hearing. "So you made it through my excellent soldiers? Fine! I will have my elite guard handle you!" a voice cried out. A little high pitched, but definitely still male. The lights flicker on and there was a large... pink... tank in the center of the room, its primary weapon looking like a light bulb, though the lighting bolt it hit the far wall with seemed plenty dangerous.

From behind the tank came 6 Shy guys, in stacks of threes. They seemed rather comfortable like this, as if this was a position they practiced. They all seemed ready to fight as a team against whoever had invaded the large rotunda that their General had decided to place his tank and operations.

[cardsflippedup]

[A beautiful day but that didn't mean that there wasn't a job to do. Luckily, this town was always ripe with work. People to talk to, leads to follow. Really, you couldn't find a better city to be a journalist in. There was always something interesting going on.]

[Not that Tomoki was the kind of person who reveled in dirty press and only cared about getting the scoop. That wasn't true at all, in fact, he worked mostly so that he could help the Supers of this place find their villains. He was a searcher of the truth.]

[He'd heard tell of a strange guy with colorful clothes who talked about underwear at the scene of several recent crimes and he wanted to know more. He just wasn't expecting the surprises he was sure about to get.]

[He approaches the vagabond from behind.]

Pardon me, but do you have a minute?

6

[tiny_revolutionary]

Thus, we see the problem with wearing an oversized bowl for a hat. That problem is, apparently, a bunch of weird guys suddenly carting you off -- with you still in the hat.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!"

5

[zerotodoro]

Dororo had been tracking the miscreants through out the city and had either bypassed or knocked out the guards on his way in.

"A fight? I suppose asking you to surrender and repent for your crimes is out of the question now." The small alien called out as he slides into a battle stance, a hand wrapped around the hilt of his sword.

5 NOPE WE'RE DOING THE FIGHT SORRY

[brustriese]

[Congratulations Ky, you've interrupted a mugging! Or...something? Either way, there's a woman in a ridiculous armored jacket getup that can only be a superhero or supervillain outfit, and she appears to have just done something painful to a man who's now lying unconscious in the alley.]

Tch. You snuck up on me.

[She's also wearing a sword for some reason, and her hand goes to the hilt.]

Forget you saw this and go on your way.

[ridethelightning]

My treat. I can pay the full check with no issues.

[If he's ever taken a look inside Ky's house, he likely noticed that it's full of expensive-looking furniture, paintings, and tea cups. The man has money to spare.]</small.

the plot thickens

[cardsflippedup]

[As soon as Eiji turned around the abrupt shock was clear on his face, too.]

[What- he. Okay, he is pretty sure he hasn't had anything remotely worrisome to drink for a long time so what the heck was he looking at just now.]

I- ah-

[Get it together Chino. You still had a job to do. he flips his notebook out.]

My name is Chino Tomoki, I have a few questions for you.

/GETS APPROPRIATE MUSIC

[ridethelightning]

[Ky, meanwhile, already has his sword drawn. He wasn't about to ignore a crime, after all -- he was part of the Omegafriends, and he always believed in doing the right thing.]

And ignore a person in need? Never. Instead, I recommend you surrender immediately, and your punishment will be more lenient.

[defyingfateswrath]

Well - Well, if you insist on it, it's your tab.

[He gives a careless shrug, he's got an inkling the young man's loaded, but he always make it a habit to at least try to pay for his half]

So how's your weekend?

[brustriese]

I'm afraid I don't have time for that.

[She takes a step back into a fighting stance and draws her sword in one fluid motion. This narrow alley isn't exactly suited for her fighting style, but she fortunately appears to have found someone who uses the same weapon.]

I don't have any reason to hurt you tonight, but I can't let myself be arrested right now. I'll try to leave you alive, at least.

[ridethelightning]

It's been a busy one. I have tests to grade by tomorrow, so I spent the evening yesterday doing that after I finished cutting the grass. How about yours?

[ridethelightning]

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. This is all assuming you can best me in combat, which is something you don't know whether or not you can do.

[Ky assumes his own fighting stance and plants his feet down.]

This is your last warning. Bear in mind that I am not your average swordsman.

Scrooge McDuck | Ducktales

[number_one_dime]

3

[It was a busy day at the docks as yet another McDuck-owned cargo ship had pulled in. Scrooge was supervising the unloading of cargo, checking things off on a list when he noticed one of the cranes swaying unevenly, with loud and ominous creaking - then the cable starts fraying]

Ach! Look Out! It's Gonna Fall!

6



[The World's Richest Duck is a tempting target for anyone short on cash, so now there's a nefarious villain trying to kidnap him. Instead of fearing for his life, the old geezer's bill is set tightly as he waves his cane threateningly]

Now hold on just a minute you big palooka! No one storms into my office and try to abscond with me, Now git out or I'll give you a once-for!

[Now Heroes, does McDuck still need saving, or maybe you should save the poor Villain from a cane-thrashing]

[defyingfateswrath]

Pretty Busy at the shop, what with that crazy hero solving problems by throwing cars at it.

[He waves to the server, holding up two fingers to indicate how many are seating]

Can't exactly complain, it keeps me in the black.

[cardsflippedup]

[Tomoki is scribbling all of this down.]

There have been a number of crimes in the city lately all supposedly perpetrated by the same villain. A string of heists in broad day light with considerable property damage. I have a number of witnesses that place a strange man in colorful clothing at the scene each time. Do you have a reason for being in these locations for each crime?

[He looks up at him, handing him a list of places.]

Signum | Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha | Goddammit Chris

[brustriese]

5

[There's a group of supervillains running around town that are a bit unusual. No demands, no public presence, no real known goals or connections to anyone. They're doing something weird to apparently random citizens that leaves them hospitalized and have likewise fought off a few individual heroes using powerful but archaic weaponry.]

[That's why THE OMEGAFRIENDS have come up with a plan to attack the quartet separately by dividing them up and hopefully drawing out their leader. Your mission, should you choose to tag this, is to take out the one who's been lured to a city park tonight. It was supposed to be an ambush, but unless you have stealth powers, the pink-haired, ponytailed woman in the weird armored coat seems prepared for your arrival.]

Damn. We've gotten your attention now, I see. Did you have any demands, or do you want to just get straight to it?

[She's already drawn her sword, for her part.]

3

[Alternatively, there's a rather distinct-looking woman in a perfectly normal outfit doing some grocery shopping at the local whole foods market. She has quite the collection going in her cart, and is looking worriedly at a handwritten list in the neat cursive of a young child.]

What on Earth is a daikon...?

1

[Today is another normal day in Venture City, which of course means the city is being attacked by something that looks like a dragon straight out of a fantasy novel, clearly conjured up by some swords-and-sorcery-themed supervillain. As civilians run in terror from the flames raining from the sky, a superhero flies to the rescue!]

[No, wait, it's the weird pink lady who's been mugging people. She's attacking the monster with a drive normally reserved for the noblest of superheroes, though. What's she after?]

[Well, no matter what her reason, she's protecting people, so it's probably best to take the help you can get, right?]
