Prompts

1. Venture City in Peril! Dr. Devious’s army of Deviobots are ransacking the city! No, wait, Baron Von Tyrannosaur is back with another dinosaur army! No, wait, it's... really, ther's a lot of different ways a city can be imperiled.

[There is an evil plot afoot in Venture City! Some kind of doomsday device or other evil machination was spotted on top of a skyscraper rooftop, which is why you're up here to stop it - but you're not alone!

Hovering a few feet above the top of your target is a strange fellow sporting a helmet from which an oversized propeller emerges. He nods as you approach.]

The sunset, she is beautiful, no?

-6-

[Hello, supervillain of the hour! Your lair has a visitor - either let in willingly, or he just flew in here unannounced. Either way, as he lands before you, he bows theatrically.]

A good day to you, compatriot in cruelty. I come bearing good news!

The Order of No Quarter has watched your acts from afar, and deemed you a true villain of the highest caliber. As such, I, Propeller Knight, have been dispatched to aid you in whatever sinister machinations you can conceive of.

From this moment, my blade is at your command.

1:

[Why was she doing this? She had barely been Sailor Moon in Tokyo before the situation changed and her whole family ended up in Venture City, so why was she helping, or trying to help, stop robots?!

Evil old monster women are one thing, robots are something else completely! So, the Sailor Suited Guardian of Love and Justice is on the scene and...

Promptly ending up in over her head, some other hero may find her running away from some Deviobots that started going after her. And she's crying.]

3:

[Hello Venture City, your streets are confusing and English is hard. Even more so when the person trying to read said English is one Usagi Tsukino, 14 year old Japanese resident of this fine city, with a horrid track record in English even before her family moved here.]

Now where is... [The teenaged girl has a piece of paper in hand, as she mutters to herself in Japanese since she's just been sort of. Being super stubborn about adapting to the native tongue here (that and she just. hates English, thanks school!). Looks like she's lost and the paper is directions!

She's going to be lost for a long time.]

6:

[Wild card, don't like the above prompts? Hit up Usagi with something else, it's all good.]

[For the teenagers of Venture City, School is in session and you are in detention, or you are one of the unlucky schmucks who are attending Summer School. Mr. Volkov - the Literature teacher is supervising - even sitting down doesn't disguise his massive 6'6" frame.

He raises a brow at the students before him before speaking, at first with a faint, hard to specify Slavic accent before quickly switching to English by the way of California]

I do not usually do detention, but I shall make sure it is not something you wish to repeat.

Stand up. Stretch your arms, then drop down and give me fifty pushups. Then go back to your seat and write about what you did to get detention and why you did it and how you will go about not doing it again until I tell you it's time to go.

Any questions?

-5-

I apologize. This just business.

[The Winter Wolf mumured with a thick, almost stereotypical Russian accent as he reached up, and cracked a crick in his neck as he sheds his long overcoat and boots, showing that he was shirtless]

In world that runs on money, One does what one must for their piece of cake. Client of mine does not want the interrupting of his business. So - go now or I make you go.

[The last word comes out as a growl, his eyes turning gold as dark fur creeps over his skin]

-1-

[Deviobots? Ransacking parts of town? Must be Tuesday! But you know what also comes free on Tuesdays? Superheroic rescues! Be it in a store, a bank, or even if some old lady's getting robbed?

The domino-masked Crimson Flame is on the case, beating down robots with fist and fire alike! But it seems today's attack is quite heavy? Care to give a new fellow hero a hand?]

-3-

[Superhero or not, Adell's family was not a rich one. He decided during the summer to pick up a part time job to help pay the bills for the family, just to get a few extra pennies here and there. You may recognize him from somewhere else in Venture City...

But either way, here he is, wandering town, delivering pizza. Does he end up at your house? Did even make it to the right place? This is hard work... he'd much rather be beating up bad guys.]

-6-

[You've observed the Crimson Flame in battle, and either by science or by superpower, or by mystical know-how, have determined that his powers are... of a darker origin, perhaps even... demonic. Would you confront him about it? Or do something else? Either way, it certainly is suspicious.]

3.

[Moving is such stupidly obnoxious work, both the packing and the unpacking. The idea of moving to "Hero Central" was exciting. He was hoping to maybe impress a super and become a hero, not that he's not one already, but instead he's unloading boxes from the car and helping organize them in the garage until they can be unpacked. There are so many left too. And it'll probably take at least a week to unpack everything.

Sighing, Bobby shifts his grip on the box that he's carrying and walks into the open garage.]

So boring...

4.

[Oh wow, he's here! The Omegabase! Bobby's tail swishes back and forth a little in excitement. He, Scaler, is now pretty much an official superhero. And this base is huge! But he should be playing it cool, not gawking like a four-year-old at the zoo. smoothing his crest back, he straightens his shoulders and walks confidently away from the elevator and over to check out the snack machines. Nothing out of place about a big alien lizard. Besides, he doesn't wanna go poking at everything and get kicked out or something.]

-1-

You'd think that someone whose primary weapon was a gun would think to shoot his targets from afar, but instead, Kamen Rider Garren is in the thick of things, punching robots and only pulling his gun out to shoot when one of the bots comes charging at him.

Just be careful if you also come charging in. Being new to the area, Tachibana doesn't quite know who's friend and who's foe just yet and is far too prone to shooting first.

-3-
Finding a job was a difficult task, especially when there wasn't much left of Tachibana's former employer to get references from and when things kept happening that made him late for-- or entirely miss interviews.

Today had been especially bad for that, which is why he was sitting on a park bench in his best suit, motorcycle helmet in hand and shoulders slumped.

4. [Wow, so this was Omegabase. Saft had heard so much about this place from a few other heroes around the city but she hadn't actually dreamed she'd ever be lucky enough to wind up here herself. There's one part of her curious nature that wants to go off and explore on her own but the other part is telling her to stay put and wait until someone's arrives to make her feel welcome and let her know what it is exactly she's in for now that she's decided to use those awesome dragon-shape shifting abilities of hers to good use.]

...Still, it wouldn't hurt if she just went off to go look at that big shiny control panel with all those huge screens for a few minutes now would it?]

5. [Not good, SO many levels of not good, Saft had stubbornly gone off thinking that she didn't need anyone to work along side with when BOOM, She walked right into one of the big bads and with no support or back-up to call upon right now she might have to deal with this goon and what minons they might have up their sleeve all on her own.]

6. [Wildcard?

Wildcard options are always good.]

[The Deviobot army was closing in on you, having either gotten lucky or just worn you down through sheer numbers. Then, there was a bright light. Almost blinding.

When the light cleared, The Radiant Guard stood before you, facing down the stunned and confused Deviobots.]

Stand up. This fight isn't over yet.

-3-

[At the Venture Museum of Natural History. Possibly for a school project, possibly to case the joint for tonight's heist, possibly just because you were bored and needed something to do. Either way, you've come across Ms. Leona Solberg, Ex-mercenary turned museum curator, as she talks about the newest exhibit: Mysteries of the Ancient Mediterranean.]

...which is representative of the influences from the Mycenaeans. Notice the use of that blue dye, in particular, and the repeating bull motif. It's likely both civilizations traded heavily in the 1500s, BCE.

-6-

[Or whatever else you can come up with. Don't feel compelled to stick to those two if they don't suit your fancy.]

3.

[Yun was never one to hide his inhuman nature, so whenever he leaves his comfort zone he tends to get gawkers, especially as he's somehow been roped into hawking petitions. It's clear from the look on his face that he's not too enthused about this.]

Yo. Sign this Petition about Adding bike lanes to the city.

6. [Well, you got just badly insulted by a little girl who then runs off somewhere. A few minutes later, the Fire Mana runs up, panting slightly]

Hey! You seen a human girl run by? Brown hair, got a mouth on her?

1.

[This was unacceptable. Normally, Cinder Fall is hardly one to interfere with the schemes of supervillains, and even encouraged and supported them on occasion, but today she's on a schedule and Dr. Devious' little unannounced assault on Venture City was causing no end of delays.]

Move.

[Having left the relative safety of her limo, the dark-haired woman strides past somebody fighting the robots, twitching her fingers and summoning fire to her hand. She's certainly not hesitant about showing off her abilities in public. She is, after all, a perfectly legitimate businesswoman and any rumors about the beautiful pyrokinetic being some sort of... criminal kingpin are vicious slander.

Her approach doesn't go unnoticed by one of the Deviobots, a towering, massively armed thirty foot tall model and the rampaging machine turns and begins charging toward her. Cinder holds her ground as the fire begins to swirl and form up into a tiny, compact sphere, glowing bright enough that just looking at it is painful and the air begins to whistle from the heat. She waits a few seconds then throws her hand forward, unleashing her assault in the form of several brilliant orange-yellow bursts.

A mechanical leg separates at the knee, followed by both arms, a hole blown clear through the torso and then the head simply vanishes. The Deviobot collapses instantly, crashing to the ground and the glowing slag that was once its head flows to a stop at Cinder's feet. Satisfied, she turns back toward her waiting car.]

Do something about the rest, would you?

6a

[Good evening, vile villain. My, my, this has been a profitable night for you, hasn't it? Maybe you're a fairly well-established baddie, or perhaps a small-time street level crook who just had a good night?

Well, things are about to change for you as the front door to your villainous lair opens up and in walks a dark-haired woman in red, flanked by two of her associates. She walks in like she owns the place, looking over the setup.]

Well, well, you've certainly done well for yourself recently, haven't you?

6b

[Replier's choice. Hit me with one of the other prompts or surprise me with something new.]

1.(Plain cloths)
Gwen stood in the doorway of the house she grew up in. How long had it been since she'd been here; since Lucky Girl had patrolled these streets and helped to ensure that justice was done? The answer was too long. Gwen had been gone for only a year, but it felt like she'd been gone a lot longer. Venture City had grown so much in that time that she could scarcely believe it. Honestly, it was beautiful. Now she just had to find the right place to change into her Lucky Girl costume so she could go on patrol. After all, crime never stopped – especially in Venture City.

2(Lucky Girl)
It wasn't hard at all to find a decent base of operations with internet access for Lucky Girl's base. She'd carefully checked the place out before changing into her costume and creating a bridge out of mana to reach the rooftops. It was always easier to see what was going on from high up.

2.
She's supposed to be in school but the fever that had popped up yesterday is even worse today. Her friends had stopped in, but they would be late if they lingered any more, and so mid-morning found Mayu tossing and turning, murmuring "Misa" every once in a while.

But she finally wakes up, lucid for now, even though her head hurts and her eyes are runny. She gets up, but changing her clothes seems like a waste of time; besides, she'd gone to bed in her school uniform. She goes out as she is, and, unaware that glowing purple lines are starting to appear on her hands, starts staggering her way to her old house. She has to find Misa.

3.
Trying to find an elusive friend-of-a-friend for a friend is bad enough, but she doesn't need a roadblock to make things worse. "Hey! Hey, excuse me!"

The construction crew ignores her, and she's already late to meeting the friend-of-a-friend. He might have left already! He'd told her he would only wait for her for ten minutes, which she'd thought was pretty rude, but tracking him down had been hard enough and her friend really wanted to see him. At her wit's end, Mayu rides her bicycle into an alley, and stops to check her rings. Teleport, Teleport... did she forget to bring the Teleport Ring?! Oh, this is the worst day...!

a.

There's a commotion going on in the streets of Venture City today. Animal Control is in a bit of a tizzy right now from the looks of it, chasing after an animal they had received a call about. What is this animal? It's not an escaped zoo animal though people might think otherwise since the animal in question is a wolf; a puppy for that matter.

This was no ordinary wolf though all most people saw was a very immaculately white puppy. Certain people might see the delicate red markings marring said fur and even the flaming mirror floating above its back.

The puppy in question though was darting between people's legs in order to avoid being caught, surprising most of them. He stopped briefly when he was clear of the crowd to see if he had lost his pursuers. Though shouting said otherwise and the puppy makes a bit of a frustrated noise.

What had he done wrong? All he did was walk on the sidewalk so why were these humans chasing him?

b.

Sunny days were always perfect for food stands since people seemed more inclined to eat outdoors. Especially during the summer. The smell of hot dogs, warm pretzels, or any sort of barbecue cooking was bound to attract customers. Chibiterasu found the smell to be utterly tantalizing.

So here he was, in his human form and standing on his tip-toes just watching the people cook food with wide-eyes. Other people at the stand couldn't help but balk at him. Never mind the outlandish clothes, this kid had ears and tail!

Chibiterasu ignores the stares though and keeps on watching.

5. More trouble. If nothing else he chose to intervene to stop those blasted sirens from blaring, and for the fact that he felt like picking a fight, even if the humans were hardly worth his time. The bank...

It was being robbed. Again.

So Bardock waited right outside the bank, the cops shouting at him to do something all while he stood there and waited for the robbers to come out. Once they did, he fired a energy blast at the ground at their feet to the effect of the ground erupting below their feet.

Unless it happened to be the hero who really stopped the crime in progress...

In that case?

Oh. Oops.

6. So... Turns out that Saiyans like to eat a lot and Bardock has no sense of money. He just ate a metric ton of food at a steak house and walked off without paying. What's with this guy?

"So, something I don't understand," Shepard commented as she hunkered down behind an overturned car and reloaded. She waited to finish her train of thought while she popped back up, fired three shots from her handgun into the torso of a Deviobot, and dropped back down.

"Where does she get all these robots? The manufacturing alone has got to cost a fortune."

While waiting for a response, she moves around the side of the car and with a momement of concentration, lifts up another Deviobot in a flare of purple energy and hurls it into a third one.

At some point, your character was in a car with Shepard when she was in a hurry to get somewhere. The poor bastard.

The car she was driving was the sensible end of import SUV, but she drove it more like an APC, ignoring little things like turn signals and the curb as she wove around traffic in a determined effort to get where she was going. The look of determination and concentration on Shepard's face would be inspiring if she was going into battle, but as she's currently swerving to avoid a perfectly mundane truck on a perfectly mundane errand, it's mostly just scary.

Dare you ask why she's in such a hurry?
