[spacetaser]

"PALMER!" Katiri cried out - but it was too late. He had already gone over the cliff in a ball of flames. Their joyride through the nexus on their own respective vehicles had quickly took an unpleasant turn when his developed some kind of malfunction and caught fire. She increased her speed and her Sparrow veered off towards the cliff edge.

"Luce be ready!" She hissed - shooting out over the cliff's edge and out into empty air.

"I'm with you!" She heard the Ghost respond over her internal comm system. In the next second, her Sparrow dematerialized as she dove down after Palmer's falling body with the wind whistling in her ears. She was wearing her Optimacy Regalia robes and helmet - and the material flapped like a cape behind her as she dropped rapidly, gaining up on her friend. The ground was coming up fast and she didn't have time for hesitation.

Katiri reached out with her hands and tried once...twice...and managed to grab onto her friend's jacket with the third attempt. She pulled them together - wrapping her arms around him tightly. "Hold on!" She called - not knowing if he was conscious or not due to the bike helmet over his head. Their comm's were connected so if he was awake, he'd hear her.

Then she twisted in mid-air so that she was beneath him and lightning flared around her legs and their descent started to slow. She grunted when he slammed into her but she kept her grip on him as she tried to control their fall.

2

[chiaro_oscuro]

You know, I probably spend more time in bars and taverns than I should. Don't know what I'm looking for at the bottom of the bottle. Or if I'm looking for anything at all.

I might just be lonely. There are certainly better ways to cope with it.

[godaxe]

"Tell me when, and I will shove lightning through the core." Thor's body was tense, and he saw the robots entering the complex. They might have lost the headquarters, but that didn't mean they were fragile. Thor's eyes glinted with lightning, the air taking on the smell of ozone as his power began to build. All he needed was the command from Steve, and the building would be demolished.

2

[ohmyscream]

The younger woman shakes her head quickly. She knows she isn't his date.

"I know. I'm so sorry." She glances nervously over his shoulder.

"Could you pretend you know me for like, five minutes?" There's this guy she is trying to avoid Barry. All she needs is five minutes.

"I just need enough time to text my roommate." She is getting her phone out while trying to not look so nervous.

[screwup]

[how many broken-down churches can a person find themselves in? it's like some kind of TV cliche she can't escape -- some weirdo behind-the-scenes pulling strings to hit her with the hammiest of hamfisted metaphors on her haphazard journey in exile.

this one seems particularly scripted with the way moonlight cuts into the gloom from the high rose window's broken glass, painting distorted shapes on the floor and discarded furniture.]

...Fucking figures.

[her voice doesn't carry too far; this place isn't grandiose stone and flying buttresses or whatever -- more molded wood than anything. even with her soft stepping, the floorboards creak and groan in protest until she decides to stop shy of the front of the place, steps away from those eerie moon beams, and just listen, become absorbed in the quiet.

this place is remote enough, right? who's going to go out of their way to chase down a fuckup like her this far? her and her bag of ill-gotten goods have to be alone by now to get sucked up in the dark.]

[bornrussian]

Natasha leans her forehead against the smooth metal of the payphone, her shoulders slumping forward with relief. Finally a bit of good news. Her breath rasps through her chest, ragged and uneven. In her chest, her heart flutters like a frightened bird. There's a phrase she needs to remember. This doesn't work without the right words.

"It used to be the right one." Natasha's hand presses tighter against the hole in her abdomen, her blood slick and hot to the touch. She needs this extraction, but there's no such thing as a secure line. "Two winters ago. There were blackbirds on the windowsill. A kettle of tea on the stove."

Atreus | God of War

1. Chatting cheerfully with a severed head.

2. "That's... not just a few traps."

3. "The gods are cruel," he shrugs.

4. TMW magic explodes in your face.

[chiaro_oscuro]

"You're right. That certainly is a lot of traps. Good thing we saw them."

Ben eyes the space ahead of them closely. Those are a lot of traps, but crude ones he didn't even need the Force to sense. He's not sure whether they're a way to intimidate potential visitors or intended to catch something. Either way, he's suspicious. He's just not sure whether the traps are meant for people, but the size and placement suggests the answer is yes. It's an indication that there are hostiles this way.

"Looks like somebody was expecting visitors. And those traps are sent for bigger things than rabbits. Who do you think put them there?"

Flamewar | Transformers IDW2

[chaoticdumbass]

1. "Let's go steal something really fun!"

4. Who is that on the roof?

5. Maybe; if you ask real nice.

2.

[waitwait]

You're serious? You killed someone? You?

( Maybe Harley shouldn't brag about her most recent murders to anyone within earshot. Shannon is just trying to enjoy her garden salad when she overhears clown-girl boasting. She can't help but turn around. )

Shut up.

Flick | Animal Crossing

[luvsbugs]

1. Just sitting here fanboying about butterflies.

2. "No really. I'll buy ANY bug."
