the @blondebl4zer situation is CRAZYYYYYYY ( slight dispa.tch spoilers under the cut )

[ @blondebl4zer said: " my message is very clear. " ] [ prompt. ]

what a hero. nerves of steel. the blonde blazer never disappoints. his respect for her outweighs the respect he once had for the brave brigade. he sometimes images what he could do for her. what his augments could help her accomplish. shroud knows she would never be tempted to join the red ring and he respects that. but one can dream. however, she's caught him at a bad time. a crescendo.

mecha man is dead and the astral pulse has been lost. still, he cannot lose his temper with her. hands raise in a non-threatening manner as he visibly submits to her demand. " it is, " he agrees. around them stand countless villains and criminals, too afraid to move. he's humoured by it, and dares to step forward. " every part of it. " head tilts and eye whirs, calculating, always calculating. what's the probability of her attacking, should he get too close? what percentage of his people could she take down? what's the likelihood of him surviving?

          " whether it will stop me is debatable. " shroud chooses to be honest in the face of blonde blazer. he enjoys a good cat and mouse game. " but debates aren't much fun when i can predict the outcome from miles away. " how bored he's grow over time, always being right, always guessing correctly. because how can he not? heavy is the head that controls. " still, i would be prepared to... endure, for you. "

can you help me?

"Hm? With wh-" Emma peeks in, and sees Mandy dealing with-

OH GOD.

"WHY IS THERE SO MUCH PAPERWORK!? What the hell happened, Blazer? I was out of the office for like five minutes!" She was actually gone for something closer to an hour, but the point still stands, this was a metric fuckton of paperwork, Mandy...

" it's really lonely at the top.

“-I could only imagine.” For someone with their face plastered on the sides of buses and even a few billboards, she can only wonder just how lonely some heroes could be. Who’s to say a love they find is true, or merely someone seeking such similar attention?

“Maybe…you ever thought of taking a vacation? Getting away from it all for a bit? Might be helpful.”

[ starter call. ] [ @blondebl4zer. ] vitalia sits in the waiting room of sdn. her hands are clasped steadily as she watches people pass by. it's been a while since she's been called upon as a hero but as former brave brigade, sdn still had her contact details should they ever need her and it just so happens... they do. something to do with elliot. shroud, now. he's become torrance's most wanted man and it pains vitalia to see him behave in such a way. she wonders what she can possibly do to help. perhaps they think she knows something they don't. the idea of getting wrapped up in elliot's business again when she'd spent a long time trying to forget about him, trying to wipe him from her mind...

vitalia sighs softly to herself. then, someone calls out to her. mercy. her head lifts and she spots blonde blazer approaching. she offers a gentle smile, holding out her hand to shake the other woman's. " please, it's vitalia, here. i haven't gone by mercy in a while. " no one knows who she is here, except blazer. without her mask and attire, she's just someone passing through, and she somewhat prefers to keep it that way. " it's a pleasure to meet you. " she wonders if the other has a private room waiting for them. " i'm eager to know what this is all about. how i can... help. "

@blondebl4zer gets a slice of life starter

Robert let the overlapping voices of the Z-Team fade off as he removed his headset, rolling his office chair back a little to stretch out. His gaze moved to the pillow by his desk for Beef but didn't expect to see him there, getting to his feet to step around his cubicle into Chase's. Beef's little tail started wagging the moment he came into view, a soft smile on Robert's face as he got down on one knee to give him some pats.

"Come on, walk time." He clipped Beef's leash to his collar, exchanged some words with Chase and began to make his way out of the headquarters, with a little detour that led him to Blonde Blazer's office. The door was open so he stepped into view, knocking on it twice. It was strange having people to approach, to invite to join him for things. In a good way, but it's like he's learning how to be a person for the first time.

"Hey, I'm taking Beef to the dog park during my break. Did you want to join us?" He asked as said dog give an excited bark as the words 'dog park' were spoken. "Invitation is for Mandy or Blazer. Mandy and Blazer? Whatever you are feeling."

[ starter. ] [ @blondebl4zer. ] it's a chilly night, and the two sit side by side at an abandoned plot of land. it's one of eli's favourite places to go. away from his men, peaceful. despite the metal structures built up around them, with the site previously having been used for building, it feels romantic. not that he really understands the meaning of the word. mystery and excitement. well now, that could mean anything. nevertheless, mandy had agreed to come along. they've been seeing one another for the past month or so, and elliot thinks she trusts him enough to go somewhere like this with him. knows he'll keep her safe.

          " it's cold, " he observes, shrugging off his jacket. it's offered to her. " here. " because that's what gentlemen do, right? he's studied it, in his spare time. how men should behave around women. how women behave around men. how to be compassionate and gentle, while maintaining enough firmness to be deemed attractive. there's a lot to it. dating. and he's alert every step of the way. " y' know, " his gaze lifts up to the moon and stars, " sometimes i come out here just to get away from it all. "

a chill creeps under his skin, though not from the biting air. her hand rests inches from his own and he debates whether to put his on top. would that be too forceful? demanding? should he let her make the move first? he works to keep his expression light. keep it from tensing and betraying his every thought. his smile is soft, focused. " you have a place like that? " his hand remains where it is for the time being.

[ @blondebl4zer. ] [ prompt. ] [ song. ] the boat rumbles as he drives them up the coast of la, stopping within the depths. they stand at the side, looking down into the water and elliot sighs. he thinks about how it's as though mandy came from there. a siren, having sung him into letting his guard down. she's promising him a life of pleasure and plunder. it still feels too fantastical to be real. elliot steps away and unveils a picnic basket to her, set upon the deck. he smiles. " later, i'll take you to the beach. " it's almost night, it'll be practically empty save for them and the stars. as long as she doesn't question whose boat it is, because it's definitely stolen.
