STRIKING BACK
A HERO IS BORN
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten looks into the Commons and lets out a sigh of relief, “Ah, no signs in here. . .”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah shuffles in, scratching his hatless hair muzzily.
Transcendent Grand Lady Elevated Badass of the Gods Snow Gray grins and waves to Cherri. “Hello miss fugitive.”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks up, & chuckles. “One appeared of you in Pleasantville not so long ago. I won't tell a soul, though. You're safe here.”
Emperor Badass Neeip Waves to Cherri and Ghostface, Rumbling Happily.
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten looks up wide eyed for a moment before letting out a sigh of relief, “Oh thank goodness! I didn't think she would discover my disappearance so quickly. I am Cherriki Ten by the way.”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten finished, “But you can call me Cherri.” She goes quiet, realizing she is babbling.
Transcendent Grand Lady Elevated Badass of the Gods Snow Gray kisses him and smiles. “Hello love.” She nods to Cherri. “There's one in New Pitts.”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah's eyes go wide. “You're Rikki? Ace's captive?? I'm so glad you made it out!!”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten groans at Snow's words, “Oh God. . .” She smiles weakly at Koalah, “Ah so, she's spoken of me?”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks down at his feet darkly. “When she told me of what she'd done, so proud to have proof for me that she was evil. . . I was appalled! It nearly tore our friendship apart! We had a huge fight.”
Transcendent Grand Lady Elevated Badass of the Gods Snow Gray gives Cherri a reassuring smile. “No violence in the commons though, so nothing she can do to you here.” She snuggles against Neeip, then winces. “Bloody bum poking rookies.”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah grimaces in pained memory. “Which. . . hurt, cos I love Ari to bits, and its not like Ace is much of a different personality, she's sweet too. . . I hated making her cry like that.”
Emperor Badass Neeip's Expression Darkens and he Wraps around Her, Servo's Shifting Her Slightly as he Holds Her Close, Nuzzling Her “Bloody Rooks. . .” He Grumbles, Before Rumbling Softly to Her.
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten nods at Koalah, “I know what you mean and I almost feel guilty. When t e drive turned me into a boy and erased my memories, Ari was one of the first to befriend me. . .”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks small. “Its. . . sill awkward between us. I want to fix it, but. . . this insistence to be so evil, its just not something I can support! Skulking around & posing is one thing, but. . .”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah just shakes his head.
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah's eyes turn hard, & he looks resolved. “Clan must be stopped! Not just for the kidnapping. Calliaphone also ruined my hat! Got glue all over it! I liked that hat. . .”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten waves to Nathan before looking at Koalah sympathetically.
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten's eyes widen, “But. . . But it's GERM. They are insane! There is no way we could possibly hope to defeat them.”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah sinks. “I know, its hopeless. They've got hotglue & bubble-guns & everything! But there must be some way, some weakness. . .”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten's eyes widen as she comes up with an idea. “Well, they are all supervillains right now. . .” Her eyes sparkle with mischief, “What if we gathered a legion of superheroes!
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks sneakily as Cherri “I had actually thought of much the same thing, only I was more focused on foiling Ace in particular. And maybe taking potshots at Calli where possible.”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten looks resolved, “But, what about the evil deeds of all the other supervillains! They must be stopped!”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah nodnods. “My own little vendetta is small, in the scheme of things. You're right. We need to work against the Organization as a whole!”
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten looks around, wary of ears with evil intentions, “But who do we gather?”
Transcendent Grand Lady Elevated Badass of the Gods Snow Gray listens to GK and Cherri, thinking. Does she know anyone that really qualifies as a superhero, hmm. . .
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks pensive. “Welllll. . . there's gotta be a host of people who've been inconvenienced by their evil actions. We could put up fliers of our own. Recruitment Drive Propaganda War!”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah looks skyward, frowning slightly. “Bugger. I gotta take off. But I'll keep thinking.” He reaches into his pocket & sorts through some cards, selecting one & passing it to her.
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah I'm GK. If you think of anything else, or manage to recruit someone, send me a distraction at this PO Box. We'll win this war yet!
Maddeningly Cherriki Ten nods and takes the card and nods to him with a grin, “Yes we will. Pleasure meeting you GK and be safe.”
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah turns and strides toward the door, slowly seeming to turn insubstantial with each step, until he's completely vanished by the time he reaches the
door.
HEROS RETALIATE
AH
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah checks that his mask is in place, then quickly scrawls in crayon on the wall beneath Ace's poster: DOWN WITH GERM!
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah shuffles off quickly, before he can be seen!
The Queen of Fables Reverb storms into town, tears down the anti-GERM poster, and looks around vehemently. “Who. . . would. . . DARE. . .”
Venetian Lady Cherriki Ten storms out of the Common Grounds, running her fingers through her thick black curls, “Sonuva! If she thinks for one minute that- urk!” She sits down and writes up a sign.
Venetian Lady Cherriki Ten posts a sign: Down with the Super Villainous GERMans! Join the League of Superheroes today and put a stop to their Tyranny!

Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah sneaks in through the gates, looking furtive.
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah scrawls seditious crayon-markings on the wall. END GERMs EVIL NOW!
Magical Love Gentleman Ghostface Koalah chuckles to himself, satisfied with how his plot is proceeding. He then leaves back through the gate he entered through, before any GERMans stop him!
Ochris sees the END GERMs EVIL NOW” sign and nods approvingly. Beneath it, she adds: Please wash your hands, claws, paws, or tentacles, as the case may be.
Ochris feels accomplished.

Contestant Vanguard reads sign. . . isn't sure what to do from here even if he did want to join.
2010-06-08 18:30:36: Venetian Lady Cherriki Ten would point out that she can be distracted!
The Queen of Fables Reverb swears! Another sign?! “If i find who is responsible for this. . .” She points at the sign, uttering a string of tongue-tying syllables.
The Queen of Fables Reverb smiles grimly as the sign goes up in emerald flames.

Cuisinier Micha pauses mid-hop, arrested by the warring poster and sign. He fervently agrees that the GERMans are certainly super villainous! One of them turned him into a frog!
