He was….right, the afraid of water guy! It had been a minute!

“Petals is a weapon nut, so why not ask for her help? Though i just came back, so that’s if she is still stuck here. How are ruby and you doing?”

          “Whoa-- Heya, TNT. Didn’t know you were back in town.“ He briefly stretched his arms out before putting the hands behind his head, giving a casual shrug as he glanced around. “Ya got a point, buuut... I’d rather just wait for the real deal to come back to me. Plus she promised she’d touch it up when it finally gets back. She keeps reminding me every other week, so... Guess that’s a good sign on how we’re doin’.”

gunchucks​:

         ❛ it’s like they want us to find them, ❜ clicking his tongue, he shakes his head critically. there’s no way villains actually chilled here, right? there’s just no way. ❛  they are supposed to be all secretive and stuff. maybe these guys are beginners at this whole villain thing. ❜ instead of standing around throwing questions in the air, they had to go inside to see for themselves.

         ❛ dude, i snuck into a cult meeting before. sneaking into a dark nightclub’ll be easy! ❜

          “I guess that counts... And this isn’t my first time trying to get into a dark, shady nightclub either!“ ... The duo paused in thought for a moment. They both made impressive claims, but... It was Blake that came up with a plan with the masks, and it was Yang who just sorta... punched her way into aforementioned nightclub. The guys were practically just there for show. ... Maybe they both knew that, but neither will admit it-- they’ll just both mutually agree to keep acting like they know what they’re doing.

          “Right, so-- first we need a plan of action. Should we try a sneak-in method... or do we give our acting a shot?” Neither way could be that hard... Right?

[highcurrent]

          “Ya know... when people keep asking me where my weapon is, I tell them it’s at the cleaners. But it’s a been over a year now... I might need to think of something better.“

          “Look at that place... The Chillin’ Villain, some people call it.” Which they do because that was the name on the sign. How cunning of them. “How can they just openly admit at the bad guys all go in and hang out there? I thought they were suppose to be all secretive and stuff, like that Torchwick guy.”

     ... Well, secretive until it was time for the big robot chase scene across town. Apparently a lot of Remnant’s bad guys just can’t help themselves when it comes to the big explosion moments.

          “... Maybe we could sneak in there. Think it’s possible?”

      ❛   I hope you’re ready for this — ‘cause I’m not gonna go easy on you.   ❜

          HE   already knew that, of course — everyone knows that boyfriend/girlfriend privileges are left at the gate when it comes to competition. The stakes were high. How high ?  They don’t even know yet !  To be determined. But loser would definitely have to buy something. … Probably food, if Ruby won. 

          She’s never been in the Intraspace before, which was really a shame; this kind of thing was right up her alley !  But this should be like Dario Kart or something, right ?  If so, she had this in the bag. Customizing her kart to be as appropriately color-coded as possible ( as much as she could at her newbie level, anyway ) definitely boosted those chances ! 

      ❛   I know what you’re thinking. ‘Does she have four tricks up her sleeve, or five ?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is the Intraspace, where anything can happen and my conscience is totally clear, you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky’ ?  Well ?  Do ya ?!   ❜

@highcurrent​ :  SPIRALEFES !

      Finally, the time has come... A chance for Neptune to show off his brain power in the coolest way possible; customizing sweet rides for the digital highways! And this moment has been carefully planned ever since the start of the festivities... ... Well, maybe the idea didn’t hit him until a week later, but let’s not fret over the details.

     Ruby is under the impression that they’ll both be going into this relatively blind, both learning how this game works as the day goes on... And yet, she remains unaware. Ruby Rose has no idea that Neptune spent most of the day yesterday here in the Intraspace, preparing the best ride he was allowed to make! It won’t be long before everything falls into place.

     ... This isn’t evil, right? It’ll all be good by the end... right?

          “Lucky? Oh Ruby, I won’t be needing any kinda luck today... This one’s practically in the bag, but you’re free to keep trying.“ A pause. “... Uh-- trying to get out of the bag, I mean. ... I think?“

[highcurrent]

     Let’s try to kick some activity up, here’s a little starter call for SpiraleFES! Uncapped as usual

[highcurrent]

petalbursting​:

     ❛   If it’s nonverbal, how can I agree to it ??   ❜

          “Well, it’s like-- Ya know, when two people are so in-sync that they don’t even need words to talk and stuff? Like... mind reading, with eye contact. I thought we had something special, Ruby--“

[highcurrent]

petalbursting​:

     ❛   There’s a  SERIOUS  lack of watergun fights going on around here, and that needs to change A-S-A-P !   ❜

          “Hey, uh-- Ruby? I thought we had a nonverbal understanding about that sorta thing.“

[highcurrent]

camelliacried​:

         ❝   Oh, that’s really n— Oh…   ❞   THAT   was… A brief, yet poignant rollercoaster. Particularly with a restored Izayoi sitting comfortably on her belt. 

         ❝   … You’ll get there.   ❞

          “-- There needs to hurry up and get closer!“ He took off his goggles with a dejected sigh. The bugs win another day... but they haven’t won the war.

[highcurrent]

camelliacried​:

          ❝   Bugs of this caliber were never really an issue in any Hierarchical City… I can see now that I took it for granted.   ❞

          “-- Where?? They need to be stopped, just point ‘em out and I’ll zap--“

     ... The sudden bravado is just-as-suddenly dropped when he took another look at his shoddy rifle. It’s been almost a year now.............

[highcurrent]

     // @losingmyjustice​  |  Security Breach: Part II

          “Geez... Feels like it’s never gonna end.“ Neptune was taking a much needed break from the fighting, having found a rather secure vantage point to survey the city block. Tri-Hard remained in its rifle form, though he was only keeping one hand on it for now. The other was looking through his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message. Any updates, any requests for help... Seems like everyone’s fine though, so that’s a big relief.

     But his worries quickly rise back up as he hears some falling rubble-- mainly coming from the entrance leading to his vantage spot. Either more of the building just gave way... or he needs to take aim and see what’s about to walk around the corner. Hopefully it’s just another friendly face... But if not, surely one shot will shock the danger into submission! ... Right?

[highcurrent]

     // @clarentheir​  |  Security Breach: Part II

          “Eh? Red lightning...?“ Neptune had been blasting bolts of concentrated electricity for well over an hour now. Not a minute went by without another blue blur darting out from his railgun... So of course the sight of red lightning would catch his attention. It looked pretty wild and sporadic... Huh. And it seems like it was getting closer towards him...

     ... Actually-- way closer. He starts to squint his eyes to try and figure out just how close those bursts were. He even slipped his goggles back on to make it easier to block out the glaring lights. Yet the moment they got placed over his eyes, the light show suddenly came to a stop. That’s odd... A few moments of silence passed. The Huntsmen was about to shrug it off and find a hiding spot to rest, but then without warning-- BAM! One of the buildings just exploded-- or one of the walls at least. Rock and debris was flying everywhere, and now he needed to take cover just to not get crushed! Just who was doing all of that?!

[highcurrent]

     // @goldipunch​  |  Security Breach: Part II

          “-- I knew I’d run into you eventually!“ Just as Neptune was starting to wonder how he’d deal with the sudden heard of rolling Boarbatusks, he finally managed to get some back up! Tri-Hard was effective at stunning Grimm, but Boarbatusks are a particularly tricky problem... Their constant rolling meant their protective plating covered just about every exposed part of their body. His long ranged shots of electricity weren’t nearly as effective unless it was landing past those plates... But now, maybe he can formulate a better plan with Ruby’s sister here.

     ... Or maybe she’ll just throw caution into the wind and jump right into the rolling herd. ... Maybe he should go ahead and put a pin in that plan--

          “Hey-- hear me out before you just charge in there--!“

[highcurrent]

     // @petalbursting​  |  Security Breach: Part II

          “Uh, Rubes-- we got some sky problems!“ The Huntsman aimed up towards the sky, an incoming group of flying Grimm heading towards their position. But he’s not gonna just stand there and gawk... Neptune’s other hand pulled out his trusty rifle, soon getting both hands on it to start getting a steady aim on the enemy. He’s got a confident grin, feeling glad to get back into action after so long.

          ”I’ll do the shocking, you do the slicing-- sound good?”

              ❛   Hey, hair gel guy !  ❜    NOT   the greatest nickname, but… Well, it’s not her fault he never gave a name. She offers a brief wave after directing a mother and child toward Spirale Dome, wiping at her forehead with the back of her hand as she bounds over. 

               ❛   You’re helping evacuations too, huh ?  I feel bad not cutting the wires, but… Well, there’s a lot of people wandering around confused right now, y’know ?   ❜

@highcurrent​ ——— event s.c.   

          “-- Oh, hey there!“ ... A part him kind of hates that he actually answered to that-- but in all honesty... if anyone on this island would wind up with the label “hair gel guy,” Neptune would certainly be pretty high on the list. Both because of his extremely stylish hairdo, and due to his never ending quest to hunt down the thief that robs stores of their precious hair gel. He let out a sigh of relief upon seeing a familiar face, both hands resting on his hips as he took a quick look around to make sure no one else around them needed help.

          ”Yeah... Right now my partner is trying to help out with the wire business. He’s actually armed, unlike me-- so I’d just be slowing him down. Next best thing? Make sure these folks are out of harm’s way... That’s always a Huntsman’s priority, after all.”

[highcurrent]

spiritgates‌:

                      ❛   Hey — !  You’re that guy that kept going around asking questions about hair gel, right ?  Are you working on that big  CHOCOLATE THIEF  rumor going around the island too ?!  I swear, someone’s been snatching ‘em right out of shopping carts… !   ❜

@highcurrent​​ : CUPID SHUFFLE !

          “-- Hair gel? Well... Yeah-- that’d be me!“ He’s pretty sure he’s the only one that keeps a constant watch for that guy... Aside from Sun, but only sometimes-- apparently it’s hard for some people to remember there’s a hair gel crisis going on! But the blonde girl is quick to snatch his focus onto something more pressing-- chocolate thievery. Now that’s just... way more evil than taking hair gel!

          ”Hold up-- now we have a chocolate thief running around?? I thought we lived in a somewhat decent city...” A sigh of disappointment escapes his lips, a gloved hand rubbing the back of his hair. A cute girl has come to him for help on during a super important festival, where chocolate is practically the lifeblood of it all... This is the kind of call to action that just can’t be ignored! The Huntsman-in-training gives the mage a casual grin now, turning to give her his full attention for this new case.

          ”Alright, time for me to step up-- got any details for me? Any clue what he looks like, or frequent hot spots?”

[highcurrent]

petalbursting‌:

         SOUNDS   like it’s coming from close to the Spiral Dome — further towards the center of the city, not so much near the Boardwalk. Makes sense; wasn’t there some announcement about the Spiral Dome being a safe spot ? What was he screaming for, then—- ??

         All her energy’s returned with the snap of some metaphorical fingers, and she’s taking off as fast as her legs can carry her. Not only was it concerning because of him, but if he was by a safe area and it wasn’t so safe… What about the people that couldn’t defend themselves ?  Needless to say, she’s worried sick by the time she spots a shock of blue standing out starkly against the roiling, dark sky —- and he’s… He’s… ! 

          ❛   … Wha— you’re totally fine !   ❜

          “-- Do I look totally fine, Ruby?! The water is coming-- it’s gonna drown us all, can’t you feel it?! We’re all gonna--”

     ... A moment to pause. A moment to rethink about his current predicament. A hand finally came up to touch his cheek, the exposed fingers feeling for any water. ... Just the one drop? He blinked a few times in disbelief, looking around his surroundings to find the mysterious source of totally flooding water-- yet there was none to be found. Huh??

          “But that’s... T-The water was-- big floods...??”
