[A]
Even supervillains need a little fresh air every now and then. Maki would have preferred to relax in his lair, but it's hard to locate nice sources of desire when you're a Greeed who would prefer to stay cooped up in a laboratory floating in a void all day. He was sitting on a park bench, reading a thick and imposing-looking physics textbook. Just a little light reading. He also has a strange-looking creepy bald doll perched on his left shoulder, and the doll is holding a tiny replica of the very same textbook. It's posed as though it is reading, as well.

[B]
In addition to getting a little fresh air that day, Maki also decided to indulge in one of his hobbies. Screams and alarms are ringing out from the Venture City Museum of Dolls, which is currently being overrun by shambling gray monsters. These monsters are smashing display cases, menacing museum patrons, and grabbing any doll accessories they can find. They're leaving the actual dolls alone. There's a line of them carrying doll accessories outside. Maki is impassively supervising the monsters with his doll perched on his arm. The doll's pose suggests that it's in deep thought. Some of the monsters are given the go-ahead to carry their ill-gotten gains through a tiny door-sized black hole, while others have their offerings rejected, causing them to shamble back towards the museum in search of something better.

Someone probably ought to put a stop to this.

[Eiji rubbed his eyes to get rid of any lingering crusty feeling that were there from sleeping. He heads straight for the water fountain that's five feet away from where Maki was seated on his park bench to splash some water on his face and get a bit of a drink.

He had a bit of a mental checklist he had to take care of today.]


All right.

[When he's done he stretches his arms a little and starts to turn then he pauses. Was that a doll?]

[What were the odds indeed. Eiji meanwhile is staring like a deer in headlights. Is that...? But didn't he send him into a black hole? How is he here?]

[If there were any lingering doubts they were gone now when Eiji saw the flash of purple. It was definitely him.]

Dr. Maki.

[The one person he thought had been gone for good.]

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Unexpected is a good way to describe this whole situation.]

How are you here? I saw you fall into that black hole!

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-18 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes it sound so simple. Eiji frowns and he grabs the OOO Driver, ready to transform at any moment. After all, there was no guarantee a fight wasn't going to break out.]

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-18 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh oh. And he wouldn't be able to stop Maki from making the Yummy in time. So instead he quickly slots in the three Core Medals for Tatoba.]

Henshin!

[He runs the scanner over them and the belt sings its jingle.]

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-20 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[The suit finishes forming up and Eiji had only a few precious moments before the Ankylosaurus was inches from him. The fight was on then and there. Eiji stood his ground and threw a punch at the dinosaur yummy.]

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-21 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Wait--!!

[Whoops, his momentary distraction gave the yummy an opening. He gets rammed by it and he stumbles from the force.]

Gwuh!

[Regaining his balance quickly, he chooses to focus on the yummy for now since it was the immediate threat.]

[personal profile] candothismuch 2014-07-21 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Urgh! How troublesome. Eiji lifts his arms up to shield his head from an oncoming blow and counters with a kick.]

Venture City was all new to Hina, full of new languages and new people and new opportunities. Like suddenly drafting herself into being a superhero because people here didn't act like she was extremely odd for her inhuman strength. That, too, was new.

Shambling grey monsters that looked partially comprised of duct tape, she had thought, were a thing of her past. It seemed she was mistaken on that front, as one of them shambled its way along right in front of her, arms full of tiny ball-jointed doll fashions. She stopped dead in her tracks and stared, trying to properly parse the situation. Weren't those-- "Yummies", didn't Eiji and Ankh call them?

Adjusting the sunhat on her head to hide her face, Hina ducked around surrounding vehicles to follow the Yummies back toward Maki. She barely contained the gasp of shock when she saw him there with his funny little hairless doll. She watched for a while longer before she ducked out of sight entirely, coming back wearing the super suit she'd designed and created over her first few nights since joining the OmegaFriends.

She then did her best impression of confidence, coming to stand between one of the Yummies and Maki, pointing accusingly at him.

"Halt!!" She shouted. Hina you're getting a little too into this. A moment later, she frowned and looked back toward the Museum, and then back to Maki, still pointing at him. "...stealing is wrong!" Hina. Hina you're doing this wrong.

Okay, so that was definitely the weird doll-doctor-guy that had fallen into a black hole back home. Or, at least, she thought so. There certainly couldn't be very many other crazy guys with bald Ball-Jointed Dolls that seemed to move every second you weren't looking. ...Or at least, she very much hoped so.

Naturally, she turned away from Maki and his doll to watch the Yummies begin to shamble in her direction, and took a small step back before squaring her shoulders and standing her ground. She'd never really taken something quite like this on before-- she wasn't much of a fighter. But she was confident in her strength, and while she had no idea if throwing a Yummy repeatedly would actually do her any good, she figured she could probably do it until Maki got bored with her.

Maybe she could throw one at him and he'd fall back into his black hole.

"I do," she stated.

The whole stint of a superhero was to remain anonymous while saving people. That was the entire point of masks that seemed otherwise ineffective at hiding faces. She she shoved away the first few Yummies without much thought, Hina considered trying to figure out how Maki was even here.

His eyes were still doing that creepy purple thing they used to do. Wasn't that because of that strange set of medals that made Eiji go berserk? She grabbed an attacking Yummy and hoisted it over her head, tossing it at the rest of them to give herself a minute.

"Are you still using those purple medals?" If he had them, they wouldn't start affecting Eiji again, would they?

Hina this is not a good way to remain anonymous.

Well drat, that hadn't exactly gone as planned. Hina took a small step backward and at the words seize her, she gasped in alarm. Her attention went back to the Yummies and their advance, and she narrowed her eyes at them.

She would not be made into a hostage to burden Eiji. She widened her stance a little, taking up a common judo stance.

"Not this time, doll-creep."

That's what he thought. Hina swivels her ankles outward and as soon as one of the Yummies is close enough, she grabs it. With an oddly cute grunting sound, she hoists it easily over her head, spins it once, and throws it like a bowling ball into the collection of others, taking a quick hop backward to evade any that lunged for her or kicked out as they fell. She glances between the hoard of them and Maki a few times, considering making a break for him as opposed to the Yummies.

For the moment she stayed put, remembering what she'd seen him capable of doing. He had proven to be a challenge for Eiji, who knew far more about fighting his kind than she did. Her strength aside, Hina knew next to nothing about fighting anything even slightly supernatural.

Well that was a huge nope. She remembered what that did, and she remembered how terrible it tended to end for everyone involved. With a cry, she lunged for one of the fallen Yummies, intent on throwing it at Maki.

There's a brief triumphant shout from Hina, and then she marches toward him with her shoulders squared, right on past the parade of shambling Yummies. She keeps a safe distance, but stands nearby and puts her hands on her hips to look down at him.

"What are you trying to do here, Dr. Maki?" Her tone is surprisingly level for someone who has never really confronted a bad guy before. She's a little terrified, but she's got to start somewhere.

[personal profile] hinavelous 2014-08-07 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
She squints at him for that, shaking her head.

"That's not fair, though," she says. "It's one thing to want an ending, or for something to stop, but it's not fair to wrap everyone else up in your desires!!" Jeez Maki write a book or something, you can end that and rocks can fall and everyone can die.

She balled her hands into fists and shook her head.

"Then help me understand. If the world is beautiful now, why end that? Is it that you don't want the world to become ugly, or just that you want it to end? Because you aren't preventing it from becoming ugly if all you're doing is hurting people!" Hina this is really not the best time-- or the best person to try being Eiji Hino at.
