[i]collab between Banana and PlatinumSkink, using characters [b][color=springgreen]Kyoshi[/color][/b] and [b][color=938fbf]Viola Hopkins/Speedrunner[/color][/b][/i] [quote=@Banana]That was besides the point right now though, as a phone ringtone buzzed from Kyoshi's bag. Someone was giving a call to the Minutemen, and Kyoshi was the one who had to take it. She became the involuntary secretary of the group when she joined, and she had to take some of the calls that she had received. She walked over to the side of the building and answered the call, trying to sound proper as she did. [color=springgreen]"This is the Minutemen. Kyoshi speaking."[/color][/quote] [color=938fbf]‘Ah.’[/color] There was a note of realization in a young, female voice on the other side. [color=938fbf]‘Hello. This is- a-actually, I’m unimportant. My sister isn’t. My sister is Wisp.’[/color] She said, sounding nervous. She hesitated to continue, giving Kyoshi time to potentially respond. [color=SpringGreen]"Wisp? I apologize for sounding dumb, but I'm a bit new to the cape scene. What's going on?"[/color] Kyoshi responded with a slightly surprised tone. She needed information to go off of if she was going to get the rest of the crew on board the mission. [color=938fbf]‘Oh, alright.’[/color] She took a deep breath to start explaining. [color=938fbf]‘She's a Rogue, and a Stranger. She bends light around her and can hide herself from sight. She never allows herself to be seen in the streets. … But, despite this, the Rockers somehow tracked down our home.’[/color] It became quiet for a bit as the girl on the other side was figuring what part to say next. Kyoshi was slightly taken aback by this. Normally someone would go to the PRT for this sort of thing, but in any case it was a welcome thing to do. [color=springgreen]"That... that doesn't sound good at all. Do you need us to rescue her?"[/color] asked Kyoshi concernedly. If she needed help, then it was the Minutemen's duty to provide that help. [color=938fbf]‘Um, yes. But it's a little bit more complicated than just that.’[/color] The voice said. [color=938fbf]‘My sister... has been using her ability to steal in order to keep us alive. She's been skirting the line of becoming a villain, herself.’[/color] She breathed in and out a bit, a bit nervous. [color=938fbf]‘The Rockers came to recruit her.’[/color] The voice clarified that bit from earlier. [color=938fbf]‘And in order to protect, well, me... she might let them. I don't want to see her become a real villain. So yes... I need her rescued.’[/color] So she said. [color=springgreen]"Well... Okay. We need a place to go to and we'll be on our way."[/color] Kyoshi replied. She wasn't too keen on helping someone who was going down the path of villainy, but who knows? Maybe the team could put her on the path of justice and good... or whatever. That sounded really cheesy in Kyoshi's head. [color=938fbf]‘I don't know where they are. She didn't tell me where she was going, but I'd assume they're in the part of town controlled by the Rockers. And, um, you might want to bring something to be able to detect her, as she's normally invisible. Maybe G4M3R could fashion up some... some... some thermal goggles from Metal Gear Solid, perhaps...?’[/color] She asked, a tiny bit of hopefulness in her voice as she asked. [color=springgreen]"Hm... I'll ask the others about it and we'll go find her."[/color] Kyoshi came back with after the other line finished speaking. It'd be a bit tough to get the others on board with this random call, but maybe they'll have it as a sort of test for Outsider if he's joining. [color=938fbf]‘Thank you...’[/color] The other line went silent for a bit. Then... [color=938fbf]‘I should probably mention. Before leaving to meet with them to discuss terms, she also mentioned something about potentially just killing them all to be done with it if they didn't agree. Since she's a "Stranger with a knife", as she put it, she reasoned she could. I don't want her to do that, either. If she fails, likely since she has no experience fighting, she'll be in real trouble. And even if she'd succeed, she wouldn't be the same sister that left. This is partly why I'm not calling the PTR, they might overreact if she's already started.’[/color] There was a bit more silence, before the voice started again with a bit more sad and genuine plead to it. [color=938fbf]‘I don't want her to become a murderer or a villain. ... Please, save my sister.’[/color] [color=springgreen]"If G4M3R and Artificer won't save her, then I'll try my best to get her out. I am the real fighter of the crew after all."[/color] Kyoshi stated before turning back towards G4M3R, closing the cellphone in her hand after hanging up. [color=springgreen]"G4M3R, I got a call about the Rockers and a sister that needs saving. What do you want me to do?"[/color] [@ProPro][@The Wild West][@Nattook][@yoshua171][@solokolos]
