Heart Game: Talon
Was it this late when you stepped into the Game Tower...? Now the sky above is dotted with a few scarce stars, occasionally obscured by some light cloud cover drifting by. Most of the night sky has been washed out by the bright lights of the city which, by the way, is spread out far below the rooftop that characters find themselves on. There's a faint buzz on their phones. When checked, the screen shows a Game Notice:
Win Condition:
1. Locate the True Heart
Or
2. Leave a Lasting Mark
The skyscraper towers high above the streets, easily dwarfing any other building in sight. The city is some dozens of stories below, and the sound of the wind rushing by is louder than anything that can be heard from the streets. Occasionally the wail of a siren pierces the distance, but it's easier to spot the lights of an ambulance or police car zipping through the roads than it is to hear them. If you look closely enough, and for long enough, you might notice figures in the distance leaping between buildings, sometimes in pursuit of a siren or with an emergency vehicle trailing in the distance behind them.
The roof itself is expansive—the building must take up the better part of a city block, judging by the space available up here. A helipad (sans any helicopter) takes up the entirety of one side of the roof, complete with what looks like a freight elevator for moving things from the roof further into the building. The elevator itself has a keypad lock on it, but a staircase entrance beside it has no obvious lock in place.
The rest of the rooftop is empty save for a small, hooded figure perched atop one of the parapets along the edge of the roof, feet dangling over open air.
[ OOC NOTES:
1. Powers are on. THIS INCLUDES CANON POWER SETS.
2. Characters may keep any equipment they had on them when entering the heart, but there is a risk it will be taken away during the run. However all equipment taken will be returned when you exit the heart.
3. Significant changes/damage to the heart will reset each time someone new enters an area for the first time. For example, if Bob kills the sentry at the entrance of the heart, the sentry will respawn for Sally when she arrives. This way everyone can experience the different areas.
4. CAVEAT TO THE ABOVE: exceptions made for anyone specifically going through the heart with a partner(s), or anyone who requests to react to damage that's been done. The goal here is to allow everyone to have fun in the heart at the end of the day. ♥ ]

Re: Start Here
But uh, okay. I know a good Speedy-Mart.
[ Offers a hand! ]
I'll fly us there.
Re: Start Here
Let's be off! It'll be a CRIME not to go through this now!
Re: Start Here
and immediately down to a Speedy Mart to raid the snack aisles ]
They've got a ton of different poptart flavors here.
Re: Start Here
[considers smokebombing so they can just, steal all the shit
but at the very least will not make a ten year old shoplift. IS THERE A CLERK?]
Re: Start Here
Re: Start Here
well he's not adverse to using someone's fame. RUNNING UP TO THE CLERK and slamming down some alcheme crystals he tugged off his outfit]
We've got a super duper super hero emergency! We need as many poptarts as these can buy, and also some markers please! And we can throw in a picture if you ask nicely.
Re: Start Here
Really? Just one picture—pretty please with cherries on top!
Re: Start Here
Heeeey, Superboy! This fine citizen's agreed to help us out! But the price. . .is a smile!
Re: Start Here
Well...anything for a fan, right? Think you can take the picture for us?
Re: Start Here
I am READY. This is for a good cause!
Everyone say Ovaltine!
Re: Start Here
Ovaltine~!
Re: Start Here
You have no idea how much this means for him and the citizens of this city.
Now we have to take your poptarts, excuse us.
Re: Start Here
Jon sighs, but he doesn't actually look upset by the interaction. Such is the life of tiny, adorable heroes. ]
Okay, we got the stuff. Now to the clock tower?
Re: Start Here
Now to the clock tower. It's show time.
Re: Start Here
There's a little access balcony along the front of the tower, just below the clockface for workers to handle miscellaneous maintenance and repairs, and a small door around the side of the clockface allows access into the inner workings. Superboy sets them down on the balcony not too far from the access door. ]
Re: Start Here
he hands a bandana over to Jon, too]
Okay, put this on, and we're ready! Are you?
Re: Start Here
The latter must be winning out, because he takes the bandana after a few seconds of debate ]
I'm ready, but if this blows up on us I'm blaming you.
Re: Start Here
[not gonna let him have time to process that statement cuz time to SET OFF A BUNCH OF SMOKEBOMBS AND FIRECRACKERS hoping the faux sound of gunshots will attract Talon's attention!!]
Re: Start Here
[ For a minute or so it doesn't look like anything is going to come of it, but then a small hoverbike zips out of the cave entrance on the side of Wayne Tower (by the way, there's just an impossible cave entrance on the side of that sky scraper, don't worry about it), and the tiny figure that's been perched atop the building LEAPS OFF ONTO THE BIKE
which is now zooming towards the clock tower at breakneck speed ]
Re: Start Here
[MORE SMOKEBOMBS, CREATE BIGGER ILLUSION OF EXPLOSION]
Here he comes! Act menacingly!
Re: Start Here
[ It doesn't seem like it matters, because here's the hoverbike!!!
And Talon, being as over the top as ever by leaping off the bike and onto the balcony as it passes by, swirling his hood and cape around himself to cover his mouth and nose against the smoke ]
Show yourselves!
Re: Start Here
[c is immediately in acting mode, taking a swig of a couple potions to make his voice a bit garbled and high pitched from a helium effect, trying to stay hidden in the smoke]
It's the rotten baby bird! Quick, take the loot and get outta here!
Re: Start Here
[ Jon stammers for just a beat before catching on and grabbing the bags to make a break for it. Unfortunately for him that second is all the time Robin needs to grab a sphere off his belt and hurl it at the tiny super. The sphere bursts open in a puff of smoke, revealing a weighted net that lands squarely on Jon who...isn't slowed down at all. What's a dumb net gonna do against a Kryptonian?? Nothing, that's what! ]
[ Robin growls in irritation and starts after him, ignoring C for the moment ]
Get back here!
Re: Start Here
Not so fast, hero! You're going for a trip!
[SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY, kicking a couple of the markers over to get Talon to stumble over them]
Re: Start Here
Luckily Robin is full of all his dad's morals so he is only aiming to catch the loose fabric of C's shirt to pin him to the wall rather than causing any actual injury ]
