The Times, They Are a-Changin'
Characters: Hellboy and OPEN!
Date: June 9th - 14th
Location: All over Keeliai
Situation: Hellboy reclaims his bearings
After his short trip through the city, still damp from the basin he'd been summoned from, there was no denying things have changed. There’s a palpable darkness hanging over Keeliai, a new wariness in the eyes of its people, a shadow cast by the blackened palace looming on its horizon. Cultists hiss and scream with their signs and weapons on street corners. Others scurry past like scared animals, head down, looking at no one.
Less than a year ago, Keeliai was a different place, but they had known what was coming. Evandau had warned him of the ancient force of evil they’d been brought here to fight. And back then, Hellboy had offered to go find it, to do everything he could to stop it. But things are rarely that easy.
Evandau had said that the thing had to come to them, that they had to sit and wait with their hands tied before they could even think to fight it. It pissed him off then, and it pisses him off even more now. Because this is the end result, and innocent people are paying for it in blood.
He’s lost too much time. It’s time to get back to work.
Soon as he gets his bearings, gets some much-needed rest and scopes out his new suite in Earth, Hellboy takes off into the city, wanders back to the old noodle shop in the Metal Sector he used to frequent. The shop’s still there, and so is the old man who runs it. Business is bad, and most of the kedan have been relocated to the former Foreigner housing, but things like this just never change.
It's nice to have an anchor in this place, something familiar where lately, he hasn't been afforded that luxury. Keyun has always been nice to him. But now he's much more withered than before, his veined hands trembling over the hot bowls, spilling some of the broth.
Times are hard, and maybe there's still very little he can do to help. But in a small way, Hellboy's glad he's back, because these are people worth fighting for.
((Feel free to ambush Hellboy in the street, at the noodle shop, or even at the market perusing for charms and other odds and ends. He'll be looking for people to talk to about the happenings around Keeliai that he's missed, and will offer to pay for a meal or drinks to whoever's willing. I may put up some headers later for ease of use.))

No sooner does the thought cross his mind does he catch sight of a giant red guy walking through the Earth sector. Huh. Never seen him around before. He circled around, this time a little lower, to get a better look. This guy sort of looked like a demon, but that didn't necessarily mean it was a bad thing. Firebreather looked like a demon too, after all. Mark slowed his decent until he was hovering maybe a foot above Hellboy, and gave a neighborly wave.
"Hey there, I'm Invincible. I don't mean to be rude, but I just have to check--good guy or bad guy?"
no subject
What he's still not used to is the amount of superheroes--spandex suits and all--that seem to jump right out of the pages of his old comic books.
Though he isn't startled, he's definitely taken aback by the kid hovering a good eight feet off the ground, questioning him about his intentions.
So he stops for a second, puts up his normal hand like he's swearing an oath, and answers with more than a little amusement in his voice.
"One of the good guys. Promise."
no subject
"I don't know.... that sounds just like something a clever bad guy would say."
But he was just joking. And as a sign of trust he lowers himself fully until he's standing on turtle firma and stares up at the large red demon guy.
"So you got a name?"
no subject
He offers his normal hand for an awkward, left-handed handshake. The other, massive and seemingly carved from red stone, remains completely still at his side. "It's Hellboy."
no subject
"What can I say? I'm a bad superhero--too trusting. Or does that make me a good one? Never did learn the difference."
He goes to lift his right hand only to realize his mistake, and he quickly drops it in favor of raising his left one for the handshake.
"I'm Invincible. Otherwise known as Mark Grayson."
no subject
"Guess that depends on who you trust," he rumbles, gripping the boy's hand before letting go. "Though I thought superheroes never gave their real names."
