Mato Kutoi/Black Rock Shooter → ..... b-black rock shooter

[astronomically]

4.

[ What kid hasn't idly dreamed about having a giant, secret megabase at their disposal? How many have actually gotten their giant, secret megabases?

The answer is... well, not none but not very many. Which is why Mato spends as much time here as she can.

She's found herself a cozy corner, and is snuggled up with a bag of cookies from the snack machine and brightly-coloured picture book with the title The Tiny Bird and the Many Colours emblazoned across the front in big, glossy letters.

And how is Mato keeping her identity under wraps? Why, she's wearing a Black Rock Shooter themed hoodie that she'd bought herself. Merch bandwagons are really useful.

Come disturb her? Ask for some cookies? Or ponder why she's reading what looks to be a children's book? ]


5. or 3. for heroes!


[ So, evildooer of the week, are you afraid? Because you've just been interrupred in your evildooing by a hero!

... A hero who looks to be a middle schooler, but a hero nontheless!

She looks kind of worried though. Stagefright, perhaps? ]

Hey, you! Uh, I mean--

Y--yeah, you! Halt, evildooer! I won't, uh, let you get away with this!

[ she's trying so hard to sound cool and it's just not working. ]

5!

[thegrandcouturier]

My my, how scary...And just when I thought I was going to be able to pull off my little heist without having some fun first!

[Well, the villain standing before you certainly looks like a character. Dressed to the nines in an elegant pink and white dress, and armed with nothing but an umbrella, Nui has just been caught mid-robbery, but regardless of the diversion, she doesn't seem upset at all. In fact, she almost looks like she couldn't be happier. She's looking over her new adversary and just seems utterly charmed~]

But just look how cute you are! The way your voice is trembling, and your legs are shaking! And that outfit...what an interesting design! I wonder what it's made from...

[In an instant, she moves from the front of the counter with her bags of money to oh man she's right in your face now how did she even get there, what a creepy smile]

So! You want to fight me, right? Is that what you came here for? Are you suuuure you want to do that? I mean, you seem really nervous! Is this your first time out here? I mean, I'd love to play a little, buuut...I don't like it when it's too easy. You'll have to entertain me a little first!

[The fact that her voice is so cheerful almost makes her seem a little more intimidating...]

NUUUUUIIII <3

[starsburn]

[ HELLO WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL SPACE CAN I HELP YOU

Shooter recoils, taking a quick step back and the nervous expression on her face makes it all too clear that all these intimidation tactics are working perfectly.

She can't help but note that with the two of them stood together like this, the girl in pink looks more like a heroine than she does. ]

Hey! D--don't underestimate me just because I'm new at this! And -- and I'm not cute!

[ FEAR HER, EVILDOOER please?

it's then that she realizes, belatedly that she's not even armed and hastily draws her sword. ]

I'm not letting you go without a f--fight!

[ SHE'S NOT SCARED OKAY SHE ALWAYS HAS THAT STAMMER ]

[thegrandcouturier]

So you are new! Oh, how adorable!

[She can't help but giggle as BRS jumps back a bit in fright as she twirls her parasol around. She's practically living off that frightened expression.]

Well, since you're new, maybe I'll hold back. Just a little. After all, we wouldn't want our new hero scared off from crime-fighting just because little old me decided to kick her too hard...

[She just looks at that sword and gives a bit of a haughty grin while Shooter arms herself.]

Ah, what a frightening looking blade...but you're still nervous, I can hear the metal rattling...am I that scary? Really?

[As quickly as Nui was up in her face, all of a sudden, she's right behind her! Her parasol isn't even in a ready stance though; she's just trying to psyche BRS out. And from the sound of it, so far, it's working.]

I guess it can't be helped! After all, you need to learn how to fend for yourself one way or another! Since I'm so nice, I'll even let you throw the first swing! I want you to try and hit me as hard as you can, okay~? Don't go holding back, now!

[starsburn]

[ Shooter yelps, spinning around as fast as she can and staggering back a few steps, almost toppling over as she does so. She's doing her best to aim her sword at Nui, but her arm is waving, just a bit.

Just enough that she's not sure her aim is right and that is not helping things right now.

She just stares for a moment, her expression somewhere between panic and are you for real because really, what kind of villain so courteously offers the first blow?

A more experienced hero might know the answer immediately; a villain who knows they're probably going to win.

Shooter is not a more experienced hero.

So of course she takes the bait and swings her sword through the air in an arcing swipe aimed right for the pink-clad girl before her. ]

[thegrandcouturier]

Aw...you're adorable, I just want to take you home! Like a frightened little animal...but maybe you'll surprise me! Or maybe not!

Hup!

[And just like that, her parasol goes up to deflect the blow, almost like it's nothing...for now, it's keeping the sword at a stalemate with relative ease, but it doesn't seem like she's putting any effort in.]

Gosh, don't tell me that's all you've got for me! You're making me so sad! And here I was expecting so much from you...hey, let me see what else you can do!

[starsburn]

[ The impact of her sword against the parasol rings up through her arm and it's almost enough to jar her weapon out of her grip. But she tightens her grasp until her knuckles and hand sting -- if she drops it now she'll be weaponless and the last thing she wants right now, in front of this creepy girl, is to be weaponless. ]

W--well, what'd you expect? It's not like I get asked to hit someone every day!

[ But she's not going to just stand idly by so she tries again, swinging her sword, aiming for another blow, with a little more force behind it than before. ]

[king_of_the_koopas]

[ The large dragon-turtle-thing stops shouting orders to his minions and turns around, glaring down (and down, and down) at the much shorter human. He's... not very impressed by what he sees. But then again, he's terrible at gauging peoples' strength by their appearances ]

... really? Really? What is this, amateur hour? Did they run out of real heroes to send over?

[ Bowser makes a shooing motion with a clawed hand. ]

Go home! I don't have time to deal with stick-thin pipsqueaks like you!

im dumb how tall is he exactly

[starsburn]

[ is she really getting dissed by this giant turtle thing

like, really

Shooter looks understandably put off but pulls herself up to her full height, which isn't really much, and puts on her most determined expression. It's probably not at all intimidating, and she's still absolutely tiny in comparison but at least she's... trying...? ]

I'm not going anywhere! D--didn't I just tell you [ whoa uh he's really tall, does it look like she's sweating nervously because she's sweating nervously ] that I wasn't going to let you get away with this?!

It's okay, it varies; about 2x Mario's height and/or a head taller than Peach, and super bulky?

[king_of_the_koopas]

[ Really. Is she really going to do this?? ]

[ Bowser growls and looms over her intimidatingly, allowing some fire and smoke to leak out from between his fangs. ]

Yeah? Alright then, wise guy, what're you gonna do if I DON'T let you stop me? Faint in my general direction?

thanks!

[starsburn]

[ she's really going to do this.

Shooter lets out a thin squeak of alarm, doing her best to stand her ground but at right now, fainting in his general direction looks like the most likely outcome. Her hair is practically on end, but her jaw is set in what can only be called 'blind, terrified determination'. ]

I'm gonna-- uh -- I'll make you stop! And if I can't make you stop I'll call for backup!

[ nailed it. ]

[king_of_the_koopas]

Look, I don't have time for this. Besides... you can't stop me OR call for backup when you're on fire!

[ Bowser takes a deep, deep breath before letting loose with a stream of fire, which should TOTALLY be enough to scare away Shooter and/or incinerate her on the spot. Because there's no way anyone could dodge a flamethrower attack that has a three-second wind-up time, right? ]

[starsburn]

[ thank every god she can think of that huge boss characters telegraph their attacks like that.

Shooter rockets off to the side, but even then, it's such a wide burst of flame that she just barely gets out of the way in time and it singes the hem of her coat.

She spins, coming to a skidding halt and even as she skids, she throws a hand into the air. There's a screeching whirring grind of metal and her arm seems to light aflame, but then just as quickly, the flames dissipate, and she's left carrying her cannon.

But rather than fire it, she goes charging forward, fully intending to smack him around with it once she's in close enough range. That's a good plan, right? ]

Have a slightly less totally hostile criminal

[doomedtheworld]

[Jewelry store robbery. Quick, easy, simple. The places were always filled with easily-snatched bits of valuable stuff. Clear the places out, disappear into the night and make a quick trip to the fence to cash it in. Easy work for the thief and occasional vigilante known as Mistborn. Except when a Super showed up.

When Black Rock Shooter makes her announcement, the short young woman turns around, fixing the teen with a sharp stare. She holds the steely, measuring gaze for a little while... and then turns around and gets right back to work without a word.

Seriously. She doesn't have time for kids.]

oh lord

[starsburn]

[ INTERNALLY

SCREAMING

Does she really look that ridiculous? Or does she really have such terrible presence? Neither option does much to soothe her bruised ego and she actually lets out a little squawk of protest. ]

H-hey! Don't just ignore me! I told you to stop where you are!

I'm a little sorry.

[doomedtheworld]

[Nope. That isn't going to happen tonight. She just keeps loading gold and jewelry into her bag until she has what she wants and zips it shut, finally turning to face Shooter again with a sigh.]

Kid, it sounds like your heart's in the right place, but you're really picking the wrong fight right now.

[And she'd really rather be out of here without getting into a fight, even against some kid, so she burns zinc to add to her words, giving off waves of apprehension and doubt.]


[OOC: Quick note on the zinc thing. One of Vin's powers is to influence the emotions of others. Zinc increases the targeted emotions, but Shooter can certainly work past the effects or resist it outright.]

don't be i'm not

[starsburn]

[ Shooter already looks hesitant about this whole 'stopping a robbery' thing and she looks even more thrown off by the rebuke and takes a hesitant step back.

Maybe she's right. After all, she's new at this, she's on her own, and naybe she should go and call for backup or maybe just leave altogether, just let her finish robbing the place and what the hell is she thinking?!

She splutters out loud and takes another step back, out of surprise this time rather than hesitation but then grits her teeth and fumbles with her sword for a moment before finally drawing it. ]

I'm not going anywhere! I'm a hero!

[doomedtheworld]

[Vin quirks an eyebrow slightly as the girl pushes away the effects of her zinc. Okay, that was a little impressive. Next plan. She glances past Shooter, out the store window for a second before reaching for another source of power. One that served a much different purpose.]

Behind you.

[Ah, the classic trick. Surely, no self-respecting hero would ever fall for this one. Which is why the perfect twist is the garbage can hurtling through the air toward Shooter's back, yanked from its place across the street by Vin's Ironpull.]

[badbadguy]

...Huh? Was that it?

[When even the most tryhard of villains thinks you're being underwhelming, that's just kind of sad, Shooter.

It is, in fact, so bad that Westar pauses his heist right then and there. Even his Nakewameke has stopped and is looking at her like it's... pitying her? Huh, Nakewamekes can feel pity. Who knew? Anyway, Westar jumps down from his streetlight vantage point and looks her in the eye.]

You can't call that an entrance! I... I refuse to fight after that! [Because if he loses now he'll be a laughingstock forever.] Try again!

bless your heart westar

[starsburn]

[ oh god this is just embarrassing for everyone involved

Shooter blinks at him, looking taken aback by the request -- but then she hastily clears her throat, and whips her sword out before pointing it at him, doing her best to look cool and heroic.

It's... working, right? ]

Uh, okay so-- Stop where you are! I, Black Rock Shooter, won't allow you to get away with this!

they can be big fails together

[badbadguy]

[Well, that's... that's better, but it's still not there. So Westar is still looking very unimpressed.]

No, no! Geez, how new are you at this?

Look, you have to put some feeling into it! Otherwise I can't take you seriously.

this thread is going to be very painful in hindsight

[starsburn]

[ she looks rather chastised, like a child being scolded by their teacher. Is she seriously getting lectured on how to make a proper entrance by a bad guy?

It bears repeating; this is just embarrassing for everybody involved.

But he does have a point. So Shooter takes a deep breath, filling her lungs --

and then jabs her sword in his direction and bellows. ]

STOP RIGHT THERE! I, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER, WON'T ALLOW YOU TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!

i'm already dead oh god

[badbadguy]

Ha, yes! That's it, that's excellent! See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

[He's so excited and proud that, for a moment, he forgets that they're supposed to be enemies.]

This way, you won't embarrass both yourself and your opponent. Remember, a good entrance sets the tone of the entire encounter!

[oras]

[Deep breaths, deep breaths. It's only for 2 days that Jotaro has to be teamed up with her.

But still, that sounded so weak...]

Yare yare... [rubs his forehead for a bit] Just get out your gun already.

[starsburn]

[ she has the decency to look embarrassed, if that's any consolation.

But she does as he asks, and there's a great cacophony of screeching metal and a blaze of blue light over her arm that dies to reveal her cannon, mounted comfortably there and she carries it as if she can barely feel the weight. ]

You've got a plan, right?
