The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: La Macabaret

Trixie stared at the monitor in total awe, completely forgetting about her cootie-plagued gun in hand. Her eyes twinkled with the starry canvas background - and her attention was only diverted away the second a voice cried out "kidnapped." Trixie's body nearly crumbled from the sheer startling noise.

As Dylan pounded the new guy Cid with questions, Trixie paced in circles, stomping and pulling her braids. "Huh!? Josy's gone!? Gaaaah! I knew bad guys were afoot!"

Quickly after she slipped both the chalk fragment and the animal-paper-card-thing that Selan had returned to her into one buttpocket, and her uzi in the other; there would be more time for exploring last night's clues later. But for now... now was a good time for anxious circular pacing.

Los Paraisos: Saint Drega's Church

An afroed man soon burst right into the church, screaming something about an emergency. Amy only raised a brow at this, both with the spontaneity of it all and the whole dumbass "bro" thing going on. The more she heard that word the more she wanted to slap some sense into these nutters. Considering both Don and Josette were here, along with their waiter-bro who was well acquainted with both of them... could it be possible that these men were also their 'relatives'?

That suspicion was quickly confirmed by Jerry's next cries. Despite Moira's oblivious response, there was no way in hell the lifeguard could even think to calm himself down. Not after running all the way down here - and especially not after his big message. Lisette seemed vaguely familiar out of everyone else in the bunch, so his attention flitted between both her and Tom.

"It's- It's Big Sis! She's... oh gods, she's gone missing! We need to hurry and find Big Bro now or...!"

Outside the church, Amy's eyes widened as the man's cries grew more and more desperate. She looked to Marcus, a mutual sense of understanding what must have happened between them. While she didn't know Josette too well, the Pride were all well aware of women on the island going missing, particularly those who have gone to certain night clubs. And if Josette had gone missing - or kidnapped - while both Estelle's and Trixie's whereabouts were unknown to the current group as well...

Her head pounded with so, so much pain.

"Should've fuckin known this would happen!"

Ayy sorry for not posting last night! I crashed the second I got home. :S I'll post after I get home from work tonight, though I can't guarantee the time since my fam might wanna go to dinner or something after. After today I'll get back to posting consistency in the mornings.

Good luck with everything, everyone!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Nah I don't really have anything particular in mind for what Trix found. If that does or doesn't get explored it's no biggie haha. But Tae if you wanted to move them back to the main group that's totally fine with me, or I'll do it in my next post, no worries haha. I was gonna have her find some baby clue thingies instead but I wasn't sure the direction you guys wanted to go with him so I left it vague/slightly Dylan-Lucien related in my last Trix post because why not haha.

Haven't read the ICs yet but I'll get to posting for at least Trixie later tonight. Got nothing on the church scene so I'll post for it tomorrow. I've been having some meltdowns lately so I apologize if my posts have been on the lamer side. Woosh

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: La Macabaret

"Nooooo!" came a response to Crimson Justice's cries for the Wondergirl.

Trixie shirked from inside the women's restroom, which thankfully was unlocked this time. She continued to scream and scream until someone went to fetch her. And even when the door opened she continued to yell at a toilet. "Noooooo - hey I found a clue in the sink earlier! Look!" Without averting her eyes, she thrust a hand up in the air, holding between her fingers not only a small chalk fragment but some little piece of paper with an animal on it as well. "Last time I checked you don't find this kinda stuff in the girls' restroom. Soooo maybe it's a clue to something! I dunno. But still, noooooo!"

A closer look into the stall would reveal one of Trixie's uzis lodged deep inside the toilet bowl, submerged in water.

But no that wasn't what Trixie was yelling at. There appeared to be a ton of random bite marks all over the uzi's grip. Man, now it had someone or something's cooties all over it and was totally unusable.

Ugh! Worst. Day. Ever!

Los Paraisos: Saint Drega's Church

While Syed read and reread the document, his wife loomed over his shoulder. Arms crossed, foot and fingers tapping. Breathing heavily through her nose. Then he passed both pen and paper in her direction, before backing away with a chuckle. In turn Amy stared at the certificate just as long as the mage had... but wrote nothing. Her body continued to shake even more, though she fought hard to keep her tone of voice leveled - and to not snap the nice pen in her fingers.

"Where do I sign."

"Where it says 'sign here'," Father Tom replied, still maintaining a relatively optimistic tone despite the situation at hand.

Amy exhaled deeply through her nose. A bull ready to ram down everything in its path. "Where the fuck does it say that."

With a sedate smile still crossing his lips, the priest made his way towards the cleric and reached for her hand, intending to softly guide her to the correct box. But that was cut short as Amy ripped herself from his grasp and flared her eyes at him. The ferocity in her glare even extended as far as her own purse, which began to glow a radiant red - thanks to her gem inside.

"Don't. Touch. Me."

Father Tom backed away, still somehow maintaining composure over fear; perhaps he was used to angry newlyweds. Amy's eyes had flicked back to the paper as she waited for a response. He said something about one of the blank boxes towards the end, one clearly labeled for the groom to sign and the other for the bride. With subscript font saying "sign here" or something. Whatever. Last thing she wanted to do was embarrass herself even further, and she stood staring at the paper long enough. With a grunt she scribbled something completely illegible, with lots of random loops, in one of the boxes near the bottom. Just as legitimate as any other signature would be.

Calmly Amy set down her pen, took a deep breath, and turned around. But before she took another step - SMACK! - she gave Syed an echoing slap across his cheek. Then, with the same calmness as when she set down the quill, she made her way down the center aisle and out the church doors.

Los Paraisos: Saint Drega's

"What part of 'annul' do you not unders--"

And he totally walked right past her. Yep. Impervious to her venom. Tom waltzed back towards the altar to produce a large box of commemorative gear from the duo's wedding. Moira cackled with laughter, literally rolling around on the floor, unable to control it. Lisette almost seemed to glow upon seeing how she herself looked in the items as the beautiful flower girl to their wedding. Marcus too took it lightly.

As Syed did the raging for Amy, the latter kept quiet, kept her fists to her side, kept her boiling anger at bay. She too walked over to the box of goodies and picked out one of the mugs. Yup. The two looked pretty damned happy in this photo imprint, although it was quite clear they were beyond inebriated considering how unstable their poses were. How hilarious would it be if her father were to have found this? Or anyone else? The priest did say he had sent them out to their friends and family. Which meant her own as well, didn't it? How bloody hilarious.

Amy chuckled. She chuckled and dropped the mug to the floor, allowing it to shatter.

Without warning she lugged the entire box over to the side of the altar as well, for the other mugs and fragiles inside to meet the same fate. Fortunately some were saved from the softer clothing articles hugging them.

Then she turned to Father Tom, giving him a rather crooked smile. Slowly she approached him, holding out her hand for him to see once again, the marriage ring glistening in the light. Though she spoke as calmly as she could, her voice and body trembled noticeably. "I'm going to ask you nicely. Please fix this. Now."

Los Paraisos: Outside the Bucking Bronco

The caped crusader totally lost her cool when Dylan mentioned her being inside a strip club. With a loud "Eh!?" she jumped back and whirled around to look inside the building again. "Th, that's a strip club!? Oh... ohhh! Is that why he's...!" Trixie stepped back from Freddie, making an x-sign with her index fingers. "Ohh, Amy told me to stay away from peeps like you!"

She stepped out from her freakout in a snap though upon the Crimson Justice requesting her own name. "Pfft, you haven't heard of me? I'm Trixie the Wondergirl! I'm totally awesome and powerful and-- wait guys we can't go in there, that's a strip club! I, uh, lose my superpowers inside... strip clubs. And around meatbabies. Cuz they stank."

Everyone poured inside anyway to attend to the nauseating smell, before he started to use his banshee scream superpower to kill everyone. Welp, they were on their own. "I'm... uh... just gonna wait out here. ... Ooh, wait a second!"

Across the Bucking Broncos stood a tall, tall building featuring a brilliant sign: La Macabaret. Though her eyes weren't fixated on the sign nor the building's splendor itself. There were bullet holes in the window; well, more like bullet wounds, since the window was cracked with them but none of them ever seemed to go through to the other side. Her curiosity more than piqued, Trixie charged over towards La Macabaret, holding her arms out before her as if she were flying. "Woooosh!"

Before she could reach the front double-doors however, some stranger stepped in front of her. Trixie skid to a stop, gasping quite loudly and shielding her body with her leather pants cape. But the man was already a step ahead of her.

"Hey! It's the SFX Girl! Why didn't you have that gear with you last night? You kept going on about being a Miss Superhero but you had nothing to show!" The man loomed over her, arms crossed and beaming. She really hated when people towered over her like this. Completely ignoring her discomfort the man whipped out a rolled newspaper that chilled in his pocket and continued speaking to her. "I'm sure you'll get the headlines next time, kiddo! Just have some more rhythm in your shots and you'll have everyone on their knees for sure! ... A, awed and applauding of course, not actually... shot. Like that one mother... eesh."

But Trixie the Wondergirl heard none of it, again her eyes focusing on the window. "... ... ... Hey! Those could have been my bullets!"

She stormed inside the nightclub.

EDIT: I think I'll just wrap up my post in the morning. I can't think straight and have been staring at blank space for nearly an hour now lol.

Not dead, though I will be in zombie mode for this week (finals). :[

Los Paraisos: Saint Drega's Chuch

Tried as she did, Amy was unable to remove her ring either. She had eventually given up fumbling with it altogether. Though she wanted to strangle the poor electromage every time he spoke, especially after Marcus made his joke, she remained silent throughout their entire trek. Poor, poor Syed. As the one leading in front, Amy was blessed with not showing her face, or seeing anyone else's for that matter. Her cheeks flushed with crimson all the while - whether it was from shame, embarrassment, or brewing anger was a question on its own...

When they arrived at Saint Drega's, a man inside started up some rather unchurchly music. And of course, Syed just stood there, not really doing anything useful. On his hopeless behalf, Moira stepped forward and called out the priest(?). He looked their way, his gladdened features unchanging.

"Hm~?"

Immediately Amy stormed towards him; any heavier steps would have set fire to all the pews from the pure ferocity in her pace. Once she was within arm's reach of the man clad in black, she slammed her left hand atop seat closest to them and began pointing at her ring with her other hand - as if she were stabbing her own finger with an invisible dagger. Something she probably would have preferred over being stuck as...

Fuck figuring out what happened first. She had an agenda to take care of.

"Annul this. You annul this right. the fuck. now," Amy leaned in, baring her predator's teeth. If she curled her fingers any further, they would dig right through the pew's precious mahogany. "Or I'll paint your face redder than blood."

Los Paraisos: Outside the Bucking Broncos

Just then, the double doors to the stripper club burst open. One would've expected someone with a bull's size to have that kind of power; the doors were nearly knocked off their hinges. But no, it was a tiny girl with her two arms outstretched before her. A tiny girl with a fancy napkin wrapped over her eyes like blindfolds, only uneven holes were carved in to allow for eyesight. She beamed upon being greeted with sunlight and stepped out into the open, her cape - a pair of leather pants pinned to her shoulders - billowing in the breeze behind her before resting atop her back.

"C'mon Mister Freddie, superheroes can get out of mazes just fine!" she glanced back into the room briefly. "What kinda sidekick are you if you get lost now?"

Sure, Trixie was still without her weapons, but at least her hair was totally symmetrical now. Braids and all.

Her smile widened even further as she turned to see a disguised man in red beside her; luckily for her, Aria recognized the pint-sized prankster from an earlier meeting and lifted the ploy from Trixie's sights right away.

The prankster clasped her hands against her cheeks, puckering her lips. "Cri... Cri... Cri... Cri... Crimson... Justice!? Oh. My. Omelets. Mister Freddie told me all about you and I'm your BIGGEST FAN! Quick, somebody, gimme something that I can get Crimcrim to sign it! Imma call you that, is that okay? McCrimcrim? A cool nickname for a cool pal. Cuz we both superheroes, so we both buds now, yo. Gotta keep it cool. Fresh. Squeakay."

Then someone cleared their throat. Trixie the Wondergirl leaned to the side, peeking behind Crimson Justice. Ah, so there were other people too! They must be his fanbase. "Oh hi! Are you guys part of his paparazzi or something?"

Well, seeing that she could never hold in fake acts for long, Trixie began the shudder with uncontrollable giggles. "Pffft. Nahhh I keed, I keed. Nice to see you guys here! Where's everyone else though?" Man oh man did they look like total wrecks. Especially Aria; she smelled really bad. "Miss, why do you have Thunderspock's clothes?" Whatever was in her arms began to smell really bad too. "And what's with the ugly meatbag?"

"Ah!" Crimson Justice called, shooting a finger to the sky. "That is no meatbag! That is what we call... a baby."

The caped crusader nodded with her newfound wisdom. "Ohhh. Okay. So what's with the ugly meatbaby?"

Thanks for the Trix openings; I'll follow through with that tonight. :) Advanced heads up, I won't be posting on Thursday. So thanks for that break-note too, Pach!

EDIT: Post is up yay

Avabava

Nine years later and I still think earth bending is OP. :p

Tbh I can't stand how in-your-face the sexism stuff is lol, at least in these earlier episodes. It could be because the show's outwardly kid/family-friendly that these points are driven across so clearly, including the Kataang ship so early in the series. Might just be how I'm perceiving it though. *shrug* Still a good show though, I'm pretty sure my excite for it will come back during the later eps.

Wasn't much a fan of these three eps, for reasons already said. You gotta love the douchebag fire nation though, c'mon guys. Hahaha

*missile noises* *splat*

Hope everyone's doing all right, school and all!
