WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: The City
WHAT: Some prompts for superhero shenanigans. These are three general prompts you can customize to suit your superhero or supervillain needs.
WHEN: May
WARNINGS: Fighting. Violence. Blood. Injury. Bad language.



[ 1 ] A Bank Robbery

The sun was just setting over the horizon. There weren't many people in the bank. Everything was quiet, peaceful, and almost lazy. No one even looked up when an AC repair van pulled into the parking lot of the First National Loan Savings & Bank.

They did look up when six armed men burst through the door. They started shouting. One raised his assault rifle and fired a few shots breaking a florescent light. People screamed and quickly cowered under the nearest table or simply dropped to the floor and covered their heads.

One man rushed the bank teller and hopped onto the smooth wooden counter. His demands were simple. All the money in every register and no dye packs. If he saw anything suspicious they would all start shooting.

[ 2 ] Supervillain Showdown


In an unassuming little brick building just off of downtown a woman answered the phone. "Thank you for calling Total Nation Insurance, my name is Hazel. Before I can assist you, can I please have your policy number?"

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as the person on the other end of the call rattled off numbers. The computer pinged merrily when it found the right policy. "Ah, Mr. West, what can I help you with today?"

"An auto insurance claim? A robot cat took your side mirror clean off?... And then a giant robot lion picked the whole car up and threw it at a spaceship? Yes, sir I can help you with that claim."

More typing and then Hazel frowned at the screen. "Mr. West, I see you live on 57th street. That wouldn't happen to be around 57th and 11th, would it? Uh-huh. And when did this happen?"

Hazel leaned back in her chair and looked out the window. Judging by the smoke clouds in the distance...

"Right now? Yup. Okay. I'm going to put you on a brief hold while I get this in order..." Hazel pressed the button on her headset and yanked it off. "Janice, take my call I need to move my car! This is the second time this week the heroes and villains have thrown down. I swear as soon as a transfer opens in the Phoenix office, I'm moving!"

[ 3 ] They Came from Outer Space

The first sign something was coming was a brief disruption to cellphone signals and GPS but service was restored quickly and no one really thought of it.

Not until the first ship appeared out of hyperspace. A few people went 'huh' before the Armed Forces tried to rally. They did not fair well. The first landing ship touched down hours later and the aliens appeared.

They were strange looking. Their space suits were green with a silver collar for the large helmet that showed the massive size of their brains and gaunt faces. One at the head of the group wore a red cape and it began issuing orders.

"Ack, ack, ack!" It called out, gesturing left and right. Groups of aliens broke away with blasters in hand, ready to wreak havoc on the city. Their cries echoed down the streets over the screams and sirens.

"Ack, ack, ack! Ack! Ack!"

"Ack, ack, ack!"

The mothcat’s only reaction is a quick flick of an ear and a glance down at the upset little human.

As for the Archivist, he appears a little more irritated and frowns over at this bothersome person. “It’s hardly any of your business.” He remarks and returns to his book. “You will leave now.”

"Hardly any of my... What?" Eddie steps closer, though he flicks a nervous glance up at the cat thing. "How am I supposed to leave when your pet totalled my car?!"
beholding_archivist: (And this is why I started smoking again.)

The Archivist just looks at Eddie as if he were talking complete nonsense, then casts a rather pointed look at the man’s two very healthy legs. Hardly a moment later the large mothcat leans his head down and a dry nose the size of Eddie’s head gives him a curious sniff.

“I suggest walking.”

Eddie sputters, stumbling away from that giant nose. Don't eat him! He'll give you heartburn!

"Wow, yeah, stunning suggestion, genius. Got any more bright ideas?"
beholding_archivist: (I disagree)

"Yes. Do it now." Comes the flat response and the big feline raises a huge, white paw to give Eddie a light, equally curious nudge. The yet still hidden claws must easily be the size of Eddie's legs. But as of now the animal shows no interest in actively hurting the little man.

"Whoa!" Eddie backs up more, pointing at the cat thing, then at the asshole, "You know? This is why people don't like you guys."

Shaking his head, he leaves to go catch a bus or something.

Jon watches the man stalk off. "Tch. Prick." Then looks at the mothcat. "Don't listen to him, Commander. You're lovely."

And he resumes consulting his book.
