(OPEN) All Dressed up and Nowhere to Go

[oyaji]

Characters: Wild Tiger oyaji, Barnaby Brooks Jr. baniichan, and YOU!
Date: 10/26
Location: Around the Wood Sector
Situation: Still dressed in his Hero suit, Wild Tiger acclimates to his new life on the back of a turtle.
Warnings/Rating: Goofiness?

A;
Most of the Kedan are giving Wild Tiger a wide berth as they pass him to go about their day. It's no surprise since he sorely sticks out of place in his white and neon green armor sporting logos for a Japanese cellphone company and a convenience store chain. He's found himself slumped over a richly carved bench that's set underneath the shade of a great tree. It's a pleasant enough place to switch between childish excitement and an existential breakdown right in front of everyone.

B;
There's a really excited forty year old Japanese man in a Hero suit practically running circles around one of the tree houses in the Sector. Apparently it's his and he can't be more thrilled! Obviously, because he's squawking about it to every Joe Blow who mistakenly walks by. Sorry neighbors, you're stuck with this oaf.

C;
Phase One: Find Partner is complete. Phase Two: Figure out what in the flying fuck to do about it. Well, that's seems normal enough, but together they are quite the spectacle. One looks like some seasonal Iron Man and the other is just a green and white nightmare. They are beginning to stop traffic in the Wood Sector as Kedan start to rubberneck in droves around them. Come watch the sideshow act!

((ooc: With C, your character can play with both Barnaby and Kotetsu in one thread. ))

"Oh. That sucks." What is he going to do about chilling out with good music? Do they have any music here? Oh man, this whole fantasy world is starting to get claustrophobic now! At least he has found one person who seems cool. It's still up for grabs, though.

"Right? What kid wouldn't want to live in one of these? I'm livin' the dream: Treehouse and a Hero." Yeah, he's pretty much two for two at this point. When Tiger became a Hero, he thought he hit the pinnacle of all that life could be. Clearly he hadn't known he needed a treehouse as well to fully complete him.

The other guy's words catch him a little off-guard and Scott blinks in surprise.

"Treehouse and a hero?"

Mostly, the hero part. The domino mask probably should have been a giveaway, but the remnants of Colby's words ring in his mind. Everyone's a fucking superhero here. Scott had laughed off the words at the time but as he'd stayed on the turtle longer and longer, there'd been a decided ring of truth in them. And true, this guy could've just been playing pretend, but that didn't change the fact that everyone and their mother seemed to have a very 'truth, justice, pizza' type bent to them.

"What's your superhero name then?"

omg I fail at life sorry!

[oyaji]

"Wild Tiger!" he says without hesitation. It obviously fills him with self-satisfaction if that smug smile is anything to go by. But it quickly wavers a second later. "Uh, ehhh, have you ever... heard of me?"

Please say yes! It would make his whole world if just one civilian knew who he is on this damn island.

nah, you're cool!

[langsyne]

There is absolutely no recognition in Scott's eyes at the title, just confused blankness. He shakes his head a second later, reaffirming his expression.

"Nope, sorry. I haven't heard of a lot of people here though." Scott frowns, pursing his lips. "Must be the whole different universes thing."

Has someone explained that one yet?

[oyaji]

"Oh..." Wild Tiger sags with a suffering sigh like a disappointed child. He shouldn't have expected anything more than a confused shake of the head, but that's him: Forever the optimist with open arms! It's truly a curse to be so faithful in mankind.

But then the man keeps talking, and then he's just damn lost. "Different--Eh, eh? Different... what nows?"
