Misfit's First Patrol

[istotesbatgirl]

Who: Misfit and OTA
Where: The Libra ward at night on the 22nd
Summary: Misfit arrives in the city and starts patrolling
Warnings: No warnings


[The guy in the butterfly mask had really weirded her out. He didn't seem to be a threat, he was just strange. Apparently she was in a new city and it needed her help. This suited Misfit just fine, she knew she could handle it. After all she'd been telling Oracle for months that she was ready for a solo assignment. While Oracle had turned her down apparently this guy had seen her talents and needed her help. He hadn't been specific about what she actually had to do though. A patrol would be a good place to start, so Misfit settled into her apartment and waited for night.

At night Misfit sets out to patrol the Libra ward for crime. She's trying to stay hidden on rooftops and in alleys but her stealth needs some work.]

Definitely needs some work, if Sarah (in her bright crimson outfit) can sneak up on her.

"Any particular reason you're skulking through dark alleys?"

[istotesbatgirl]

Gahhhh! Don't sneak up on me like that.

[Misfit takes a moment to calm down.]

And I'm not skulking, I'm patrolling. I'm a hero and I'm looking for ways to help this city. The guy in the butterfly mask brought me here specifically because he needed my skills.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"So this is what you settled on? What are you even looking for, anyway? Most demon attacks are happening on the streets, not alleyways."

[istotesbatgirl]

This is how we patrol for crime where I come from, and it works out pretty well for us.

Wait, did you say demon attacks?

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"Yeah. Didn't anyone tell you?"

[istotesbatgirl]

I only just got here. I met the guy in the mask, I picked up mu ID card, I checked out the apartments and then I went straight out on patrol. No one mentioned demons during any of those things.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

...well then.

"In that case...hold on, I think there's something for cases like this..."

It doesn't take long for Sarah to send a link to Misfit's COMP.

"Apparently, another Visitor wrote this as a start-up guide? With the recent troubles the actual printing has been postponed, but it's sort of leaked out anyway."

[istotesbatgirl]

[Misfit takes a minute to scan the pamphlet, but only one piece of information seems to stick.]

I can fire mind lasers now? Cool, let's go do that.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

"Alright, so City Hall is this way."

Since hopefully Misfit had decided on the easy way outlined in the pamphlet.

[istotesbatgirl]

Alright give me a minute.

[Misfit disappears in a cloud of purple smoke. She's back a few minutes later, in another cloud of smoke, with an evoker.]

How does this thing work?

[dontrunawayfromliving]

...apparently she can teleport. How about that.

Sarah forms one hand into a pistol shape and places the tips of her outstretched fingers on her temple.

[istotesbatgirl]

I fire it at my head?

[Misfit looks nervous]

You promise this will work?

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah pauses for a second, remembering something. Her mouth curls into a gentle smile, and her voice takes on the cadence of someone reciting a quote.

"'Relax. I'll go first, if it makes you feel better.'"

She holds out her hand for the Evoker.

[istotesbatgirl]

Ok, I'm not scared but ... thank you.

[Misfit hands Sarah the evoker.]

[dontrunawayfromliving]

With a little bit of entirely unnecessary showmanship, Sarah spins the Evoker on her finger as she brings it up to her temple, pulling the trigger as soon as the barrel touches her skin. Her head jerks slightly to one side as glowing shards of light spray out from the other side of her head, spiraling upwards and forming into a spectral wolf. Sarah looks up at the wolf, smiles calmly, and speaks.

"My fangs pierce even the flesh of gods. Thank you, Fenrir."

As the wolf fades away, Sarah flips the Evoker in her hand, holding it by the barrel and presenting it grip-first to Misfit.

[istotesbatgirl]

Here goes nothing.

[Misfit takes the evoker and puts it to her head. She closes her eyes and pulls the trigger. A winged man in a toga carrying a spear appears behind her. She gawks at him for a moment.]

Wow.

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah smiles.

"Congratulations. Do you know his name?"

[istotesbatgirl]

Zelus, his name is Zelus. How do I use this guy?

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah smiles and summons Fenrir once more.

"After the first time, you just have to think about it to summon him again. They kind of just...whisper what they can do in your ear, after that."

With a wave of her hand, she casts Dia on Misfit.

"See? Simple."

[istotesbatgirl]

Cool. Can we go try it on something? I bet we could catch something acting bad and use our dudes on them!

[dontrunawayfromliving]

Sarah pauses for a second and starts laughing to herself a little.

"Sure, why not?"

[istotesbatgirl]

Where do we find bad guys around here then?

[primordial]

H-huh?

[There's this guy roaming about. He...looks ordinary. No superhero suit, nothing shady about him. He just looks like a really slovenly college student, what with the mop of long brown hair obscuring his eyes and the loose clothing on him.]

[Even though he doesn't seem to have seen Misfit yet, he's definitely noticed that something is off here. His voice, nervous and stammering, ruses in the air:]

W-who's there!? Show yourself! I don't have anything good to steal, I swear!!

[istotesbatgirl]

[This guy seems innocent, but Misfit decides to make sure. She calls out from her hiding spot.]

I don't want to rob you. In fact I'm here to prevent people from being robbed. You aren't doing anything sketchy are you?

[primordial]

What?

[He sounds like you just accused him of murder despite that a) there's no dead body and b) he doesn't have anything resembling a weapon on him.]

Why would I be doing anything sketchy? [A pause.] B-besides, isn't that a horrible way to figure out if someone is doing something sketchy in the first place? Ask them if they are, I mean.

[istotesbatgirl]

Well I was pretty sure you were fine, I just needed to make sure.

[Misfit appears in a cloud of purple smoke next to Sam.]

Besides,I wasn't actually looking for a denial, just trying to see if your answer was sketchy.

[primordial]

[He jumps slightly at the sudden appearance, before shooting her a suspicious look.]

Do you treat all strangers like this...?

[istotesbatgirl]

Only when I'm out on patrol. Everyone is a suspect!

Not you though, you seem okay.
