Arac-Knight

A-K is bit taken aback, but finally says to the brain in the jar: "Let me guess, you are Xokzatle." He looks at the glass next to the name sign. "Do you eat?"

"Of course I don't. What kind of stupidly obvious reply did you expected?" ringed the brain through a stony voice booming from the solid yellow stone altar.

Crackshot, aka Chazz

Not wanting to disappoint his fans, Crackshot opted to arrive via helicopter rather than a tacky limo. As the machine roared overhead, he was lowered gently to the ground by a safety wire, waving all the while. He took nearly fifteen whole minutes to walk the red carpet into the building itself, pausing to give autographs, photo ops, and generally bask in the audience's warm glow.

He was escorted to the VIP section and seated at the VIP table by a pair of sultry Asians decked head to toe in designer clothing and jewelry. As he sat, he sighed and said, "Seriously? They didn't get me my own table?" He leaned back in his chair, looking around at the others who were already gathered at the table. "I don't recognize you people. Are you also multi-millionaires who could afford to buy this whole building if they wanted, just so they could get their own table?"

"Of those frivolities I do not speak. I am here for my own reasons." states Xokzatle.

 

[Bold or Stupid]

Psiren

Psiren wanders up to the table, eying the two asian babes and dismissing them as tackily over done. She slides into her seat, smiling at the others round her table.

"No, we're just here to like, keep your ego in check."

 

[Relique du Madde]

One of the Japanese girls flips Psiren off and the other girl flashes an asian gang sign at her. She recognizes the gang sign as being one from the Blood Samurais, a gang she busted recently.

Crackshot notices the DSI agents, and they seem to be watching someone at the table with some interest. He assumes it's himself.

Arac-Knight is certain that the DSI agents (he doesn't recognize and of them, and they have no name plates) are watching someone at the table. He's not sure if they are watching him or someone else. He's starting to suspect the worse.

Within the noise of the room everyone except Arac-Knight hears a man say "Oh my god! How is that thing a hero?! Why doesn't someone just drag it out of the room all ready?!?"

OOC: Yes, I am challenging everyone that's currently in the room.

Psiren Int 5 Awe 7 Wil 7

Psiren glances over towards the speaker.
"Oh please, anyone can be a hero these days, it's not actually about looks."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Says who?" grunts the stony altar, as the parts slide under the glass jar to make it spin in the direction of the speaker.

 

[Herobizkit]

Crackshot snorted a laugh. "Come on, princess. Everyone in this room is a hero, or thinks they are. If you don't have the looks to stand out in the crowd, you don't get noticed. And if you don't get noticed, you don't get credit for your heroism."

Gesturing at the DSI agents, Crackshot continued, "Take those guys over there, for example. They've been scoping me out since I got here,with good reason: I'm more awesome than the rest of you. No offense. It's just the way it is."

A man's voice broke his train of thought. "Oh my god! How is that thing a hero?! Why doesn't someone just drag it out of the room all ready?!?"

Crackshot's head snapped around to face the unknown speaker. "Maybe someone should drag you out of the room, mouthy! I'm talking. Wait your turn."

Arac-Knight (Int 4, Awe 4, Will 4)

Crackshot snorted a laugh. "Come on, princess. Everyone in this room is a hero, or thinks they are. If you don't have the looks to stand out in the crowd, you don't get noticed. And if you don't get noticed, you don't get credit for your heroism."

"Are you speaking about gaining recognition or being a gloryhound."

Gesturing at the DSI agents, Crackshot continued, "Take those guys over there, for example. They've been scoping me out since I got here,with good reason: I'm more awesome than the rest of you. No offense. It's just the way it is."
...

"I hope you are right and they are looking for you... What is your connection to DSI." Arak-Knight asks in a lower voice.

"Says who?"
"Oh please, anyone can be a hero these days, it's not actually about looks."
"Maybe someone should drag you out of the room, mouthy! I'm talking. Wait your turn."

Glancing in the direction of the speaker, you see a tall slender woman, who obviously was not the intended subject of your combined ire. However, after shifting your gaze downward, you see a blond masked dwarf dressed in a white and blue spandex outfit emblazoned with a bold red "M" emblem. The dwarf is known as the Mite!*.

"You think you're so tough? Try fighting criminals double your size! What you haven't? Well I have." The Mite stepped forward. "We all know why you're all there on that other side, and not people like me. That's because you're all afraid that I would show you up!"


* The Mite is known to work in the Seattle Area. When he first appeared, local media referred to him as the Mighty Munchkin, a name he loathes. His big claim to fame was that he once saved Bill Gate's life.His known powers are super strength and super leaping.

Crackshot (Int 5, Awe 6, Wil 5)

"Are you speaking about gaining recognition or being a glory hound?"

"Well, the way I see it, you can't get heroic recognition on good looks alone, so you can't really have one without the other."

"I hope you are right and they are looking for you... What is your connection to DSI?" Arac-Knight asks in a lower voice.

"Them? Pfff. They're in everyone's business. Being in the public eye means no secrets. No secrets means no suspicion. It's all very Zen." Crackshot threw a wink at one of his Asian escorts. "I might be more worried if they weren't watching me."

You see a blond masked dwarf dressed in a white and blue spandex outfit emblazoned with a bold red "M" emblem. The dwarf is known as the Mite!*.

"The reason you're over there and not here is because your outfit is cliche and derivative. Come back to me when you've hired a better costume designer... and served in a Galactic War."

"Sorry Mr Mite, I don't want any trouble. And we are not responsible for who got an invitation... or not." Arak-Knight answers, trying to calm the situation down. If this becomes a fight, maybe the DSI agents will try to capture me, too.
