OPEN + CLOSED | Oh my goodness gracious!

Who: Jason Todd/Red Hood [personal profile] robintohood and open to all! And one special prompt for Cassandra Cain-Wayne [personal profile] corpuslingua
What: Some things Jason has been doing during early June
When: Around June 1st to June 11-ish
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: PG-13 level violence might pop up in the Red Hood threads. Will edit this if more warnings are needed.

1) Jason; It was the best of times

[What does a 6-foot tall well-built 20-year-old guy do when he has a day off? Mostly go shopping.

Maybe you see him at a thrift clothing store as he's going through a rack of biker jackets. He occasionally tries one out to see if it looks any good on him. You might catch him at a used bookstore looking over a shelf of 19th century novels while a couple of books about swordsmanship are tucked under one of his arms. Perhaps you see at one of the cheaper grocery stores as he fills his cart with items with long shelf lives like canned goods and dry pasta. Or perhaps he can be found peacefully reading a battered copy of Jane Eyre on a park bench.

In any case, come try to talk to him or try to stalk him. He might notice if you do the latter though. You're also free to recognize him as one of the mechanics from Fix-It All-Tow.]

2) Red Hood; it was the worst of times

[Another night, another tour of the city's uglier side. Jason knows the city well enough now to have developed routes and routines. Maybe you can catch him on a dark rooftop as he broods or lurks at the neighborhood below him.

Or perhaps you can catch him when he's being less subtle, like when he's pistol whipping a mugger or dislocates someone's arm after the thug tried to rob a grocery store. The Red Hood is nice like that]

3) For Cassandra

[On this night, Jason's at a decrepit warehouse at the edge of the city. The windows are grimy and cracked. The few pieces of furniture that are around are in the same sorry state. There are also a couple of rusty abandoned shipping crates. Meanwhile, the building's lights aren't the brightest and they occasionally flicker but for now, they're good enough.

Jason's wielding a double-edged sword and trying out a variety of forms. His movements are awkward and slow. It's clear he's not used to moving his body like this. He's usually a brawler and parkours after all. He's determined to get it right though. He has to. Why waste this gift?

Although Jason clearly has a sword, there's no sheath on him. In fact, there's no sheath anywhere around. His handguns holstered at his hips like always though.]

4) Wildcard

[Unlike some of her family members, Cassandra wasn't actively stalking the others. She was just getting the lay of the land, checking out all the ins and outs of their new home while she still had the opportunity to do so without getting mobbed like those guild people wanted.

Noticing the lights at a time of night when most people were home in bed, she ends up sneaking in prepared for almost anything. It's painful to watch. Not only the handling of the sword but the remembering of her training and everything that went with it.

As far as Jason is aware, one minute he's alone, the next there's a voice behind him.

Your form sucks.

Gotham.

[Yes, she's aware that's not what he means but she thinks she's funny.]

You haven't used it long.

[Skipping right along to the reason she showed herself in the first place. Cass walks over to him.]

May I see it?

[Tara reacts to being rescued from her would-be mugger with a dry smirk. She probably should have changed or used her powers to get out of this end of town, out of her expensive dress she wore to a "date" with some british CEO who was worried about his business rivals assassinating him sneakily. But it's not like some rat with a knife can really do much to her. She's a trained assassin, even besides all the powers.

She watches him scurry off in terror with his broken arm, slides a cigarette out of the pack in her purse and lights it up.]


Well. [She cocks her head.] The famous Red Hood, huh.

[personal profile] judascontract 2022-06-05 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles at that, letting out a breathless laugh.]

Yeah, I run the official Red Hood Fanclub on Twitter. We've got matching shirts and everything.

[She takes another drag of her cigarette.]

I'm from the same world. We never met, though. [Which is a good thing for Jason. Honestly, it seemed like he had enough on his plate what with being dead.] Aren't small-time muggers a bit below your paygrade anyway?

[ Typically, Hibiki's time of action is during the daytime... though with school now being a thing and Hibiki not having a Government Organization calling her out of school to deal with inconveniently-timed emergencies, the period of time in which "Gungnir" is active has gotten later and later.

Yeah, she decided on just calling herself "Gungnir". It was simple, but it was all she can think of... and it's not like she's going to end up with any of the other three individuals back home who are capable of using it, right?

Well, especially since she's on her own here, but still. At the very least, it seems like her Gear has acclimated to Hibiki's current mental desire of needing to cover her face, so the cheap orange mask is no more... now replaced with a similar-looking orange mask, albeit actually formed with her gear this time. Good! That's convenient... and she doesn't have a clue how it happened (that stuff is usually in Elfnein's department) but she's not complaining.

In any case, she's ended up noticing the same robbery of a grocery store that Jason has, and while she doesn't recognize him as the guy from before... she does join in, handling the other members as they try to run... only to suddenly get promptly disabled by Hibiki, rocketing in from above and knocking them out cold with well-aimed punches. That being said, while it definitely looks like it hurts when Hibiki's fist drives into someone's stomach, it's generally just injuries that'll bruise and hurt in the morning... and not for very long right now as they're very quickly put into a deep slumber, courtesy of Hibiki's fist. Essentially, they aren't in pain for very long, courtesy of someone with more than enough experience in disabling people (relatively) harmlessly.

As she finishes forming what is quite literally a pile of unconscious bodies, though, she does hear the telltale screams of what one would expect when your arm gets forcibly dislocated. ]


H-Hey! Isn't that a bit far!?
determinationtofist: (Ignite battle)

[personal profile] determinationtofist 2022-06-05 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s another shoulder, though! Stop it!

[ You can’t just make a point then completely invalidate it! Not that Hibiki even agreed with the point anyway! She has half a mind to run over right then and there. ]

You’re just making it hurt worse for no reason!

[ The next time Jason rears back to pistol-whip a mugger, a hand catches his wrist before the blow can land. Doreen just dropped down from a nearby rooftop, and she is not a fan of this situation. Her tail is actually upright and bristling like an agitated cat, that's how upset she is. ]

Hey! Hey! That's enough! What're you doing, man?!
eatsnutsandkicksbutts: (SG - havin' some WORDS)

[personal profile] eatsnutsandkicksbutts 2022-06-06 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you're obviously going way overboard!

[ She's still holding onto Jason's wrist, but she glances down at the unfortunate mugger for a second, just to check on him.]

I think you could've stopped a mugging without practically breaking the guy's nose!

[Dana's from a digital future, so someone reading a physical book outside is unusual enough to catch her eye as she's walking in the park. She slows down and tries to see what the title is.]
qualityfriend: (taken aback)

[personal profile] qualityfriend 2022-06-07 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blushes.]

Sorry for staring! I was just curious. You don't see people reading paper books much, or at least I don't.

[ Peaceful and serene, a few joggers here and there, someone walking their dog, birds singing and an ice cream van across the way ... the park is truly picturesque today

Until a green portal rips open ten feet above a lawn and a figure comes screaming out of it to land on her back with a low Whumph!! as the ground craters around her. Coughing, long hair tangled around her horns, Loki waves off the portal from where she's landed and it closes like an afterthought. She sits up and shakes out her hair and clothes, a little dust cloud rising off her armour, and the bag fisted in her grip is dragged between her legs where she recovers her breath. ]


Shit.
ikols: your sight must be improved (♀ gentlemen let me take the stage)

[personal profile] ikols 2022-06-09 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Loki eyes him for a minute as he walks over, keeping her face entirely serene of expression. He's coming over, isn't he? Uh oh. ]

... Yes, hello?

[ Her arms stay wrapped around the bag in her lap. ]

[It's pure chance, of course. And there's no way for him to figure out who Jason is, anyway, what with the helmet and all. And he's not the most recognizable himself at the moment, out of costume and wearing jeans and grey hoodie that says "Sports Team" in a graphic font. The blond hair is the same but the goggles had been obscuring bright blue eyes that Jason can see now.]

S'cuse me.

[The young man that reaches for a book near Jason has an entire stack of books in his arms. What with being displaced to another world and all, his bookcase in Mt. Wundagore is inaccessible and that means replacing his book supply.]

[The book he grabs is The Turn of the Screw, but the motion causes the other books to topple from his arms and land near Jason's feet.]

Oops. Sorry! Didn't mean to toss a whole library at you.

[He crouches down to pick it up. The other books cover a range of styles and genres. Salomé: A Tragedy in One Act, Oscar Wilde, On the Road and Mexico City Blues,</> Jack Kerouac. The Belle Jar, Silvia Plath. Flatland, Edwin Abbott Abbott. The Yellow Wall-Paper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman. We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Shirley Jackson.]

[Though they're all normal classics and popular novels, there's a slight vein of melancholy and the macabre in his choices. The self-help books especially reinforce that. When Things Fall Apart, Pema Chodron. The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk. The PTSD Workbook, Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula. The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook, Glenn R. Schiraldi.]

[He gathers up he self-help and mental health books first, quickly, stacking other books on top of them to hide the titles.]

[Nothing to see here! Just normal books for a normal healthy person.]

[He vastly appreciates that absolutely no notice is paid to the self-help books. It's hard enough to admit he actually has problems, let alone proactively doing things to deal with them. But he figures if he's part of an organization like the Alliance, he needs to not be the kind of mess he can be with his friends. Just like how he had to hold it together better when he was a teacher.]

You say that now but wait until I pick up some Dickens and Victor Hugo. That's a solid trip to the ER for a concussion right there. Anything where they were paid by the word has potential for at least a light maiming.

[He finally stands up, shuffling the books in his arms for easier carrying.]
