Another Heart: A shadow lost in Darkness.
"This is at least one of the top three most stupid things I thought you capable of." Miss Militia said, her calm tone not quite hiding the anger just beneath the surface. With her back pressed against the vans interior, her military fatigues failing to hide hard muscle and the large glock sitting at her hip, the older cape looked fairly intimidating. The van began to pick up speed and the vibrations forced her to shift, a green flash accompanying the change in posture as green rifle appeared in Miss Militia's hands.
Sophia sat opposite her, her mask discarded to the side.
Miss Militia had suggested that they rode back on their own. Sophia hadn't put up much resistance, expecting Armsmaster to drag her back to HQ by her hair on his motorcycle.
Which only made his absence weirder. In Sophia's experience, Armsmaster never failed to appear in time to make someone else feel even more idiotic.
"I guess it's better than it being flat out number one." Sophia said, her eyes not meeting Miss Militia's in the dark. The older woman's face was illuminated by the jade green glow of her weapon changing again.
People always joked about the fact that Miss Militia could smile with her eyes, most of them didn't know that she could snarl with them too.
"What happened Stalker? What could have possibly made you think anything that happened tonight was a good idea?" Miss Militia said with angry radiating off her.
Sophia shifted uncomfortable.
"I helped stop an attack on Parian by the Empire 88." She offered, her voice weaker than her usual bluntness. Miss Militia leaned forward, another flash placing a wicked dagger in her palm.
"Sophia." She said in a tone that carried more power than an anti-material rifle. Sophia sighed and then slumped, her hands running through her hair.
"Does it even matter? I'm fucked. One way to bird cage or some Simurgh Quarantine-Zone coming up." She snapped at the older woman. Miss Militia shook her head.
"Not until I've heard why." she replied more calmly. Sophia bristled then, taking a deep breath through her nose, deflated in her seat.
"I was at home, not patrolling like I was suppose too." Sophia said, her voice turning sharp, almost accusing. Miss Militia nodded and motioned for her to go on.
"I was just sitting there, doing some stupid homework, when I heard them come home. Not drunk, but high. They had been at one of those parties again." Sophia said, her hands clenching.
"Your mother and her boyfriend?" Miss Militia asked, Sophia didn't answer her question but continued to speak.
"I waited as long as I could, but you know, I got hungry and I didn't hear them making much noise so I thought it was one of the quiet highs. I can deal with them so I thought 'fuck it'." Sophia began to speak faster. Miss Militia didn't interrupt her.
"I go downstairs and there's Mom passed out on table, and Mark isn't anywhere. One of them had put bacon into the pan and just flooded the kitchen with cooking oil and it...it was starting to smoke pretty badly so I turned it off and put the pan in the sink. Then Mark, the new boyfriend, comes out fucking nowhere, screaming at me for 'ruining good food.'" Sophia spat, rage twisting her voice.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" Miss Militia said, her hand reaching forward towards Sophia, who shook her head and shrunk back.
"Just held my arm and screamed, which woke Mom and she started to scream because she's fucking crazy. There was too much noise, all the screaming, then the smoke detectors went off and the beeping and shit started." Sophia leaned forward and put her head down and taking rapid shallow breaths.
"The alarm, Mark screaming, the smoke, the anger. It just all came flooding back and I just shadowed out of Mark's grip and sucker punched him. I ran, grabbed my stuff and got out." She said quietly. Miss Militia eyed her shaking hands.
Sophia couldn't escape the van easily. Live wires ran the length of the vehicle for several purposes, all coming together to form a handy net to keep Sophia from bugging out and running to cool her head.
Not that Miss Militia would let her get five feet before she was tasered. But the net was comforting.
"Your ID number was registered at the PRT building, before the incident. You went there first?" Miss Militia asked once Sophia had raised her head again.
The van made a turn and Miss Militia knew the driver was doing as instructed, taking the long way to PRT.
"I was doing what you asked, I thought it was the best idea. Mom would call the police, the police put out a call, my name pops up on Piggot's desk and then I'd be pulled in anyway. I was trying to avoid getting into more crap. You said if things got bad then..." Sophia trailed off, not willing to say the words aloud yet.
"To come find me and I'd make sure you'd be treated fairly." Miss Militia finished for her. When Sophia nodded, the other woman sighed.
"Sophia, you've been doing the rounds, therapy, tranquilizer darts, team building exercises. You still have a long way to go, but you were making progress. I know that feeling, that urge you get after stressful events. The desire to go out and just keep shooting till the worlds a better place. What happened tonight was skirting dangerously close to your trigger event and that's enough to make anyone go off their game. But this urge, this urge to throw yourself at the first thing that moves and make it bleed is something we agreed to work on. Together. Why didn't you contact me when you were at the PRT building, the database said you left not 10 minutes after you arrived?" Miss Militia asked, her voice matching the worry in her eyes.
Sophia gritted her teeth.
"It was Dennis. I was just coming in then he pops out of fucking nowhere. Starts cracking his stupid piss-head jokes. I was ignoring him until he said I shouldn't be such a grouch, stalking the wards area and I should just 'go home enjoy a nice dinner with my family'. So I decked him. I punched in his stupid fat face and left. He was making me more angry every second he opened that fat mouth of his. I was… I was thinking about hurting him. So I got out." Sophia said, her eyes glued to the floor.
"Then you decided to randomly pick the rumor of the month and go hunting for the Yellow Blur? Sophia, we know nothing about this cape, just that the think tanks that took a look said whoever it was, didn't lose mass when they running that fast. That makes them twice as dangerous as Velocity in some ways. What made you think you could even catch them?" Miss Militia asked incredulously. Sophia pulled her black mask into her lap, slowly spinning the black metal.
"'Cause I never thought I would find them. I was looking for anyone, anything to go for. I found an old stash of arrows I kept about the city and then I just kept moving. I needed to find something, anything to hit. To… to make them bleed." Sophia said with a sigh.
"I wasn't totally stupid. I dipped most of them into a bottle of morphine, which I may or may not have stolen before I was in the wards. The guy I attacked, he was Merchant scum. He was standing in the alley, looking for the Yellow Blur as well. I was going to ignore him, he was nothing. Then he lit up that damn joint and I just got so pissed." Sophia snapped, smacking her hand into the vans metal wall. Miss Militia sighed as a street light lit up the back of the van.
"I was expecting you to go straight for the Empire in your current state. Ironic justice, given your ethnicity and your brutality." Miss Militia said off handedly. Sophia snarled at that.
"I don't live with the Empire." She said heatedly. Miss Militia answered back unaffected by her tone.
"You don't live with the Merchant's either. Drug use isn't an automatic entry for them, nor is it equal to the acts the Merchants perform throughout the city." Miss Militia said firmly. Sophia snorted.
"Both of them are just waiting on their club membership cards coming in the mail." She said bitterly, but frowned as Miss Militia leaned forward a little more.
"Sophia, I'm going to tell you something I'm pretty sure your therapist won't. You won't like this, and you will hate it but I think you need to hear it to help you get a grip, to look at yourself. Now, I don't know what your therapist tells you, but here's what I see. I read the reports of the incident when you triggered. I read about your step-father, Steven, and how you couldn't save him because you were trapped in the wreck." Miss Militia said, calmly as Sophia stood abruptly, her lips turning pale in rage, words failing to appear as Sophia tried to speak, interrupted by a green flash as Miss Militia's dagger became her preferred rifle again
"Then when you got your powers, you got out and sat there until emergency services arrived. The PRT put it together after your inclusion into the Wards. Most triggers are listed as to avoid putting capes too close to situations that may make them act unpredictably. So here's what I see. I see a young girl who lost someone close because people who were stronger decided he didn't need to live anymore. You survived because you received powers. So in that moment, that girl put it together in her head that there was strong people, survivors, and weak people, dead people." Miss Militia carried on, ignoring Sophia's snarling and stuttering threats.
"Stop it." Sophia said, her tone furious. Miss Militia slammed the butt of her rifle down to on the metal floor.
"Sit down Ward." She barked, her own tone angry, stern, broking no rebuke. Sophia glared at her, her hands now shaking fists. Then, slowly, she sat down, her lips trembling.
A voice came from the front of the van.
"Is everything okay back there?" The driver asked. Miss Militia rapped three times.
"All clear." She said calmly before turning back to Sophia.
"Sophia, ever since that day, you've had this endless anger, people say its teenage hormones, that you're a sick person, some even say that you're on the fast track to a self-destruction. You have all this power and rage, and it sitting inside you boiling away, each day just stoking the furnace. You have the potential to do something great, to be someone great! Or you can do something terrible, become just another monster. However, you can't, people, society, they say you can't, but more… I say you won't." Her hand gripped her rifle which morphed with a flash of green light.
Sophia pushed herself as far back as she could go.
Under Miss Militia's hand sat the rounded body of a missile.
"This is a Davy Crockett. It's the smallest nuclear weapon ever developed, a man portable nuke. I can make these anytime I want; a city killing weapon. Sometimes, when I return to duty after some personal time and see yet another horror committed by people around the world, para or normal, and I think to myself 'One thought, just one bad thought and I could end them.' Do you understand that sometimes it's better for people to control themselves?" Miss Militia asked, the missile reforming into an army combat knife. Sophia nodded, her mouth extremely dry.
"Sophia, you keep pushing people to breaking point, your family, your friends, your caretakers, your therapist and even some of the security forces around the PRT. You keep pushing them, because you see them as weak, nothing but dead people walking. That would be extremely worrisome if I hadn't noticed that you don't treat me, any of the Protectorate or your fellow Wards that way. You treat us, if not with respect that at least acceptance. You see us as the strong, the survivors, regardless of what our powers are, only that we have powers and so we, like you, survived the worst day of our lives." Miss Militia was quiet for a few seconds before she continued
"I don't think you torture people for pleasure, but nor do I think you regret it. I think you try to hurt people to try and make them trigger, to 'save' them. To make them become survivors to. Maybe it's not having powers even, just fighting back. I think that deep down; you believe if your step-father Steven had powers, if he'd fought back, that he would still be alive today. That he would have survived." Miss Militia said and Sophia convulsed as if Miss Militia had punched her. Her face was grey when she stared at Miss Militia again, sweat dripping down her face.
"That's not true, I don't… I don't care about anyone! They can all just go to hell!" Sophia hissed through clenched teeth. She shook her head, wrenching it back and forth as if to ward away some painful thought or bitter memory. Miss Militia dropped the conversation, deciding that continuing it would do more harm that good for now.
However, they still needed to address Sophia's actions tonight.
"Parian only caught your fight with her new security, 'Keynote' I think. Assault was giving a press release as we left. Parian has given us no cause to doubt her word, she is one of the best examples of a Rogue's since the debacle with Uppermost. She claimed you were the instigator when Keynote tried to defuse the situation and that you'd been torturing the Merchant you attacked earlier. So I took a look at the footage we confiscated from Parian. In it you are clearly seen using lethal ammo against Keynote who is, at worst, a Rogue. There was also blood visible in the video and present at the scene, as well as a few errant arrows that you missed. Parian willingly surrendered her phone to us and told us to deal with you, so we assume no charges will be pushed." She said in a more formal tone. Sophia looked at her, waiting for the verdict.
"The merchant was nowhere to been seen so if he was well enough to flee I assume he'll live. As for you? I'm not sure what Piggot will say, most likely something worse, but I can easily see you getting desk duty for an unknown amount of time, double therapy sessions, a tracker or two possibly, and doubtlessly escorts to both home and school. No matter what the Director decides, Ipersonally will be pushing for more training sessions and for them to be placed directly under my management. If you want to fight so much, then I will make sure you never have to go looking for it again. These are just the first things that come to mind though, so don't get comfortable. You will be punished and it will be severe. I only hope you learn from this mistake and become a better Hero because of it." Miss Militia said, her tone crisp.
Sophia managed to stare her in the eye for a few seconds before the Ward dropped her gaze to the floor, stunned by the faith placed in her. Could she really be… become more than a survivor?
"Yes Mam."

Bragart (Veteran Member)(The Guy in the Know)(Original Poster) said: Okay people, so I've got some news for everyone. Last night in a confrontation between Shadow Stalker of the Wards and the E88, a new cape stepped into play. Keynote! A Rogue cape working as a security-guard for the ever elegant Parian (thread here). Now, we all know that new capes are fairly common, Brockton Bay seems to get one a month, but new Rogues are a sadly not. Ever since Congress made it illegal for Capes to own a business or trade in the stock market (see Uppermost legal case here), Rogues have had a sharp down turn in number as to make money requires pretty much outing themselves since it's now only legal to own a business in their civilian identity. Still, Keynote has claimed to be a security-guard for Parian, and she just might need one.
Last night's brawl occurred right outside Parian's shop 'The Doll House' and the battle (believed to be between Rune and Stormtiger of the Empire 88 and Shadow Stalker of the Wards aided by the Rogue Keynote) tore up the street and would have probably crushed Parian's business (and possibly home if she and Keynote were there so late). Video clips of the fight can be found here, and here (thanks SuperSentaiSailor). Now, this thread isn't to discuss the Empire's activities or Shadow Stalker (love her or hate her, she's here to stay), so please keep the speculation to about Keynote and his her activities. (Edit: Okay, so apparently Keynote is a girl. Who knew?) Now the facts we know of: Keynote can dodge attacks by seemingly rolling forward in impossible dives and jump over 10 feet straight up - Defiantly some kind of mover. Keynote also uses that really unique sword (edit: I've been informed by Parian it's called a Keyblade) - So possibly tinker or striker/blaster like Miss Militia of the Brockton Bay Protectorate.
Edit: So Keynote speculation has rated Keynote as - Breaker 3 Mover 3 Striker/Shaker 3
Edit: I've also been advised by Parian that Keynote is under 18, so please keep the discussion out of the gutter.

Nox (Veteran Member) said: Okay, so a new Rogue hits the scene. Keynote, a reference to their weapon which in the video looked kind of like a giant key? Or is a music thing, as in music a keynote is a prevailing tone in a piece of music. Maybe some kind of music based power? I mean there's that case with Canary and everything… Let's not go there.
MysticKnight said: Why were the empire attacking parian shes not a fighter like she just does kids partys and macots her show at arcadia football game last month was totally awesome
Fabulent(Wiki Warrior) said: MysticKnight Dear God, punctuation! Use it! As for the topic. Hmm, that weapon Keynote is using looks strange. The way she swings it around in the video, I'm not sure it actually weighs anything. I mean, a weapon that size should have some considerable mass to it (assuming it's made from metal or something similarly dense) but Keynote wields it: a) Like its effortless, swinging and throwing it near perfectly. b) Doesn't get moved or thrown about by the weapon, she doesn't move to counter weight herself at all. So is Keynote some kind of brute with enhanced strength or a breaker who can ignore momentum? Either could explain that jump she made near the beginning of that video. I wonder if Keynote would be willing to explain his powers like Parian did in her thread?
Wonderguard (Cape Wife) said: Are we sure shes a rogue? Keynotes costume looks a a little villainous. The red goggles and dark hoodie are a little scary, not overly heroic. Edit: Right, kind of got Vigilante and Rogue confused there. So Keynote works for money? Still not very heroic but I guess everyone needs to eat. Maybe Keynote could look at joining the Wards if she needs money?
Majoka said: Hmm. Keynote. So, have the E88 taken note of her then? Eh? EH? I'll see myself out now.
DarkOmega (Cape Groupie) (Temp. Banned) said: ! User was banned for this post. Do not ask for or speculate on the identities of Capes. You've been warned before. Enjoy your Ban. – Lord Cohen [Post deleted]
TyrannidLoli (Unverified Larva) said: Hmm, for powers does Keynote have possibly some kind of inertia control? Could explain her weird rolling trick and high jump. She decreases her inertia at the start of a move, then increases it to maintain her motion.
Minuteman (Verified Cape)(Ward – New York) said: DarkOmega Not cool dude. Not cool, we don't want another Slayer incident, some villain wrecking a person's family because someone on PHO had a lucky guess. TyrannidLoli Maybe less inertia control and momentum? That could explain it just as easily and be more inline with what we've seen from other capes (Like Assault from BB or Juggernaut from Huston). Also seems fairly obvious Keynote's some kind of grab like our very own Fletchette! Just focused around that awesome sword of hers instead of corssbows/projectiles.
SuperSentaiSailor (Kyushu survivor) said: Hey guys! I got a video of the fight, they were fighting just down the street from where I live. Linky.

Nox (Veteran Member) said: And how do you know that? What expertise do you have or anything that measn you know how powers work? There is no way you can just claim Keynote is a tinker because she has a weapon. Chevalier has a sword, not a tinker. Mouse Protector has a sword, not a tinker. Bullethell uses guns, not a tinker. Miss Militia's powers is weapons. To say anycape who doesn't just use their fists or, and I quote, "Lasers" is a tinker is flat out wrong. Keynote doesn't appear to have any other tinker like gear and her sword doesn't exactly scream science as much as it does 'bullshit, fuck you physics'. That fits with Keynote's apparent medley of minor powers and fits with all other known grab-bag capes. She can make a sword shaped projection/summoned weapon. What is so inherently bad about that?
Needle_and_Thread(Unverified Cape) said: To all those speculating on Keynote's gender and preferences a page back, you should not. Keynote is a very nice girl and would not appreciate SpecificProtagonist'sadvances. Also, she is too young, 18 is the age appropriate no? Keynote is not that old yet.
xXx_VoidCowboy_xXx said: Well… that got pretty heated. I still maintain Key's costume is a Splintercell reference. They might be red goggles instead of green but the dark get up totally screams infiltration. Hey, you think Uber and L33t will do a Splinter cell episode?
Nox (Veteran Member) said: Needle_and_Thread Ah, well… That takes that page to a whole new level of creepy. Tin-Mother get in here! We need some Mobile Oppression Delivered. Also, thanks for the clarification. There were some people calling Keynote : Portunes (the Roman god of keys for the less classically literate). More! WoG, Keynote is female we can all stop guessing. Might want to edit the OP Bragart.
Winged_One said: I wonder whence does Keynote come? She seems most unlike the other capes who call the Bay home. Perhaps we shall see what her powers truly are in time.
Tin-Mother (Chief Moderator)" said: There will be no speculating on the preferences and/or sexual habits of Capes. Especially not when this refers to a minor. Infractions have been handed out. You've been warned.
Major_Session(Unverified cape)(Toybox) said: Winged_One You're here? Shit. Never worked out whether you're just trolling us all or wether the Simurgh really is on the interwebs. Anyway. Hmm. Keynote's weapon is interesting I must say. Did anyone else note the music it produced when Keynote threw it near the end of the video? I know people found it coming back either hilarious or over powered (read: bullshit) but maybe it was less the weapon returning and more some kind of sonic control on Keynote's part? Power speculation ho! That actually gives me an idea…
Bragart (Veteran Member)(The Guy in the Know)(Original Poster) said: Thanks Nox, I'll make the appropriate changes to the OP. Also thanks to Parian for the clarification and thanks to Tin-Mother for her rapid response to her summons. Seriously people, I told you to keep it cleam. You should all know the rules by now. How would you like those comments to be made about you?

■ Topic: Canary arrested! In: Boards ► News ► Events ►America ►Boston
Dragon_Rider (Moderator)(Original Poster) said: Okay people, as many of you may have hear the famous pop-star Paige Mcabee aka Canary, has been arrested. Now we aren't sure of the exact charges yet, but we are expecting a press release from the PRT soon and hopefully. At the time of posting though all we know is that yesterday, at around lunch time, the police called to the Ace of Hearts studio and took Canary into custody. Okay people, press release came through and updated appropriately. View the officla statement here. So, Canary has been arrested and charged with sexual assault with a parahuman power. Apparently anyone who's listened to a music will follow any commands then given by Canary. This includes telling her boyfriend to 'Go fuck yourself.' And her boyfriend left and… used a knife ah, emasculate himself then perform said act. That's… I'm not sure what to say. That's like Heartbreaker level creepy right there. And I've listened to her music so to think that could happen to me, to any of her fans… That's Simurgh level paranoia right there people. Quarintine everything!

Steff69 said: Okay, what the fuck people?! You can't just say she's the second coming of the Simurgh! Sure, she's appranetly a master. So what? There are plenty of masters who aren't the Simurgh, some even heroes! Like Heartstopper, that child of Heartbreaker who escaped and decided to be a hero. Think he's a Ward in Texas now? #FreeCanary
StuffyDoll (Veteran Member) said: Well, to be fair Canary has kind of contaminated thousands of people unlike most Masters who need at least line of sight to hit you, Canary just needed audio range… And is apparently workd through recordings so yeah. She is a Simurgh level master, anyone who heard her is a time bomb. Also the feathers.
MetalFantasy said: You know, I've always wondered about the feathers. Is Canary some kind of Case 53? Because, there are really few capes with changer powers they can't undo and after her first caught appearance I'd have thought she'd change back to stop these parallels being made.
Eternal_Antagonist (Cape Groupie) said: StuffyDoll The fuck dude? You can't compare a popstar to an Enbringer. Canary hurt one guy, one! He wasn't even killed! Fuck you and you shitty opinion! The case against her is basically: Hey, you know those super scary Master's we can't catch? Look! We caught one!* *Except Canary is not Heartbreaker or the Simurgh and fuck everyone who says she is. #FreeCanary
Faultline(Unverified Cape) said: Hmm, good point there MetalFantasy. I wonder if Ms. Mcabee would be willing to share her story or talk more about how she got her powers? Trigger events are personal, so don't ask a cape about them unless you're one too and willing to share, but to get such a distinct permanent change. I'm curious.
Bragart (Veteran Member)(The Guy in the Know) said: Okay people, so I've just been informed that Canary's trial is being moved down state from Boston to Brockton Bay. Offically it's because there was a conflicting booking with courts that day, but I've also been told that the Boston Protectorate managed to capture Animos of the Teeth (thread here) and the Protectorate would be stretched too thin defending Canary's trial and guarding Animo's transfer to the Birdcage. Because the Butcher will be coming and that is one cape no one should ever underestimate or go all out against (lest you become the Butcher)

■ Topic: The Yellow Blur In: Boards ► News ► Events ►America ►Brockton Bay
SingularityKA said: Okay people, we've had a few odd happenings around the bay in recent days. Not that this is abnormal, but I feel it needed a thread. So, people have been seeing a new cape around (we think), except are they saving people? Robbing stores? Selling stuff? No! They're going by in a flash that leaves onlookers spinning. So until we know who (or what) the Yellow Blur is, please share any sightings and speculate as to who this may be! I'm looking at you Velocity (do we know if he changed his costume recently? Edit: Word of Assault, no it's not Velocity. Keep guessing people!) Edit: Well, apparently they're a friend of Parian though our friendly Rogue and Mascot Extraordinaire hasn't given us anymore detail. Hmm, Parian seems to be hooking up with more Capes lately. Go speculate why in her thread here. Sightings: Jan-15 Sighted near Elm Street Jan-17 Sighted on Ulcer Way Jan-18 Sighted near Elm Street again. Jan-22 Sighted on 31st Street Jan-25 Apparently attacked a KFC. Jan-26 Sighted on Sea View Road. So this guy gets around, but seems to be sticking away from the docks and more towards the Captain's Hill and South End of town, though that may just be less people reporting him in the docks as fewer people live there with net access.

SkyLancer (Cape Groupie) said: And I'm telling you it's a giant chicken! It's smashed up the KFC I work at and left messages on walls about saving the fucking chickens! It's a KFC, what did a chicken expect?!
Karaz said: Dude, It's a cape. Probably just a rather extreme C53, but a cape. Not a chicken. Otherwise explain the super-fast running speed? Chicken's are hardly famous for being able to break the sound barrier after all, and video in the OP shows the Yellow Blur busting it (that's the bang you heard people, not a gun shot like some people were speculating). Cape=/=Chicken.
Torisuke said: Guys, guys! I saw the yellow blur running through my neighborhood! It came out an alleyway I went to check out after hearing these odd noises. Like Wak wak. Quacking or maybe chirping like a bird or something. Anyway, I pop my head around and there this blur going the other way like super fast and all the trash can were knocked over, like someone had been looking throught them. Maybe the blurs homeless and looking for food? Lends weight to the C53 case, since, you know, Assault came in and verified our local speedster is still in his red and blues.
Ignatius said: Wait, there's a man sized chicken in Brockton Bay? … Ma! Pack your bags and the cranberry sauce! We're going on a hunting trip for giant Turkey!
Fabulent (Wiki Warrior) said: Okay people, from what I've heard from a friend of mine in the PRT, the Yellow blur (whoever/whatever they are) is a speedster who does not loose mass, or change temperal zones or anything like that. They're just that fast so if they hit you that's going to be getting smacked by a person (chicken?) going at near mach1. That's going to do some serious damage, so whatever you do, stay out of their bloody way!
ArchmageEin said: Hmm, so if the yellow blur doesn't change physics to allow their speed, what kind of energy/damage can they do? I mean, would hitting something splatter them or are they a brute who'll just plow through you? These questions must be answered people. For Science!
Sir Fluffypants (Not a Sir) said: Hmm, I wonder if they're a case 53 who hasn't been picked up by a gang yet, will they be recruited by the protectorate? They can always use more capes, especially in BB from what I hear down here in NY. Also, giant yellow C53 Chicken? With yellow feathers? We need more heroes like this to portray a positive image of feather! #FreeCanary
L33t (Unverified Cape) said: Hmm, I wonder if they'd be amendable for a chase scene or race? Would anyone like to give us suggestions? We already did Mario Cart 2 month's back against Squealer and we're looking for something new.
Needle_and_Thread (Unverified Cape) said: L33t You leave Boco alone! That bird has done nothing to you and my friend. So all of you speculating on eating him, catching him. No. Just no. Leave him alone or I will show you the Mighty Deathblow! Or even worse, Choco-Meteor!
