Weapons of War (4-6-18)


[WP] I didn't want to start this fight, but I'll finish it. [Link to post.]
"I will NOT." Flutter growled at the kids in front of her. She stood still, though maintaining her composure took effort. 

 "You think you have a choice?" Felix, the natural leader of the group, and the instigator of their revolt stepped forward from the group. He shook his head. "Ballisea's off world, she can't protect you." The brown haired boy gripped his weapon tighter; his hands began to glow with a golden light. Scales formed over Flutter's body to protect her. 

 "I always have a choice," Flutter said. Todd, a blonde boy, dropped his weapon then took a step backward leaving the two girls between him and Felix. Flutter smiled at Todd.

 "Oh, they didn't mention that I'm half dragon, did they? Good, I'm glad one of you is reconsidering."  Abby, a dark haired girl wearing a pitch black visor over her eyes moved to grab Todd's hand and pull him forward.  

 "C'mon Todd! We can totally take her!" Abby encouraged him, then leaned forward to whisper something in his ear. Todd glanced upward in an obvious fashion and Flutter followed suit. She gasped when she saw thousands of spiders, in all varieties, streaming down from the ceiling at her. 

 "Your armor won't do you any good if you can't move," Abby said with a smile. The spiders began to land on Flutter's golden scales and she brushed them off as fast as she could, but there was always more. They swarmed her, covering her tall 7' form in crawling black and brown. Flutter had enough sense not to open her mouth, but in seconds she toppled over as the spiders encased her in layers of webbing. She wriggled on the ground trying to free herself while the four kids ran to her. 

 "Nice one, Abbs," Todd said, and they exchanged a high five. The spiders continued to wrap Flutter while on the ground tighter and tighter. Felix kicked Flutter's prone form in the stomach. 

 "You always have a choice, huh?" He kicked her again for good measure. "Not this time." Abby lifted her weapon, but Felix held a hand up to stop her. He shook his head. 

 "Eury first," he said. 

 "What? But I trapped her!" Felix nodded. 

 "You did, your spiders are awesome. But we're a team. We *help* each other," he said. Felix waved the blonde girl with a purple visor over her eyes forward, and offered her his weapon. "C'mon Eury. you're in this with us too." She looked at Abby. The dark haired girl nodded her head and smiled in return. 

 "He's right." Eury took the blunt weapon from Felix, and a slight smile tugged at one corner of her lips. Abby's spiders cleared from Flutter's wrapped body, leaving behind a large wriggling mass encased in white. Todd chuckled.

 "She looks like Mundo," he said. Eury's smile grew, and the rest of the group laughed. The laughter was drowned out by Flutter's scream. The two seconds the spiders did not maintain the webbing keeping Flutter contained was enough for her to tear herself free. She shredded the webbing and rushed to her feet to stare at the four slackjawed kids. The exertion took a lot out of her, but Flutter spoke through her ragged breathing.

 "I didn't want to start this fight, but I'll finish it," she said. The giant 7' woman leaned down and grabbed a velvety purple pillow from the floor. "And after I win this pillow fight, it's definitely bed time you guys." An answer hit Flutter in the face as Eury threw her blue pillow at her.

Lunch Jitters (6-23-18)

[WP] You are the greatest villain in the world. When you come face to face with your only rival, he says, “Do you want to grab a coffee before we start? I’ve haven’t eaten all day.” [ Link to post .] "I'm so glad you said something, I started late today too," The Shade said. He patted the heavy, dark leather coat over his stomach, then leaned closer to whisper at SunKnight. "Kayla's teeth are coming in, and Lucille's out of town for that thing." He shrugged, then pulled off his black, featureless hood. "I needed an extra 40 winks. Let's do a lunch, meet me at the pizzeria in 20." Keith Slinny, the man under The Shade's mask checked his watch. The rest of his black costume dissipated from his body; black smoke wafted from him like steam escaping a body in winter. "At this point, we'll end up putting it off until tomorrow so I need to book the babysitter now." "The wedding's tomorrow, remember? Let's take t...

Heckin' Opportunity (6-20-18)

[WP] You have a shoulder angel and a shoulder devil. This is somewhat unusual, but what makes it worse is that everyone else can see and talk to them. [ Link to post .] "I have an appointment with Mr. Johnston," Michael explained his presence to the short-haired secretary. He stood in front of her desk wearing his nicest suit, and his light brown hair combed as neatly as he could manage it.  "If you take a seat, he'll be right with you," she said as she pointed toward the row of colorful, plastic stiff back chairs on the other side of a small coffee table. Michael nodded, then sat in a red chair. He grabbed one of the dozens of Acting magazines spread on the coffee table. He mumbled to himself while he flipped through the magazine. "This is a bad idea," he said. Then he felt the familiar weight of a tiny angel on his right shoulder. Righty wasted no time in encouraging Michael. "That's just fear talking. This is a great opportunity, i...

Luck be a Lady (10-18-17)

You alone have the ability to give any "power" you wish to anybody any time... but you're also really petty and use it for revenge / personal amusement [ link to post ] “No, it’s fine, go ahead and cut me off you bastard. Obviously you’re more important than I am,” I whined at the green truck that suddenly decided it needed to be in front of me to catch a turn. I needed to pump the brakes a bit, but it was more annoying than dangerous. I breathed deeply, trying to calm down. For my wife’s sake I began taking anger management courses, and they seemed to be working. I calmed down and forgave the rude bastard. It felt good to forgive him, and I smiled to myself when I decided I wanted good things for that person. “Your safety is now a major priority for all policemen within a 10 mile radius of you,” I said aloud. I was alone in my car. Speaking helped me focus, though I did not need to say the words aloud. It was not long before red and blue flashing lights appe...
