Grey

Grey holds the buckle in his hand, staring at it curiously. This thing looks completely alien to him... well, to be fair, everything he's laid eyes on today has looked alien to him. This looks as intricate as the two crazy-looking robots he saw back at Lex's office.

Huh?

There was a glow in the buckle just now. Wait- did he really just see a glow in the middle of the buckle? As if there's something inside? Probably just his imagination. It can't be real, just like the rest of this place the Hatter's crafted. With how heavy his head feels right now and how hard it is to stand, it's not hard to rule it out as one of the Hatter's illusions...

No. The glow from the buckle comes back, a blue radiance, similar to his energy, completely lighting up the object in his palm; it then travels down the surface buckle and up his arm, stripping the fox of the heaviness in his head, just for a second. As fast as it had appeared, the glow fades, leaving Grey to stare down at the buckle in silent wonder.

New Ability! Cascade's Notes

Hey! I'm Cascade! I usually function as a tutorial assistant, but for this roleplay, I'll be guiding you through the basics of Grey's abilities whenever he obtains one! Call it bookkeeping!

What you just read was Grey gaining a new ability inspired by Sougo. He can now use a version of the King Giri Giri Slash, which we'll rename to King Blade for Grey. When his scarf turns yellow, that means his King Blade ability is activated! Using it lets Grey summon a longer version of his normal sword, turning his ranged attacks into sword thrusts that can stretch for dozens of meters away! Be careful, though- swinging the King Blade takes a lot of energy, and Grey'll have to collect power orbs from enemies he defeats in order to fuel himself back up to full again!

Anyway, I'm off to add this to his character sheet for ease of access. Now, on with your regularly scheduled post!

Grey clutches his head. His brain feels like two-ton lead mush, and he can feel it weighing him down. He collapses to one knee, barely steadying himself with his sword. Still, he manages to push through and look around for the Hatter... he has to be here, right?!

Eric

Eric turns to the small puppet man and his broken nose. Tilting his head at the curious newcomer, he nods and steps over beside Spamton, untying his scarf and wrapping Spamton's nose firmly with it. He has to admit- this guy reminds him of St. Ring back in Vast. One could easily mistake them for twins... if it wasn't for the clear physical differences.

"Alright, buddy, I'm gonna need to set your nose back into place. You're gonna feel a bit of pain- you feel pain, right? Just keep looking at me and think of some fun things. Like... uh... what even are you, I need a reference angle here. Speaking of angles, your nose is definitely at an unhealthy one, so I'm just gonna go ahead with it. Ready, three, tw-"

Before he even finishes the countdown, Eric's gem glows and the scarf tugs on Spamton's nose, pulling it back into place.

Grey

Grey glances behind him at the still-struggling Sougo. The rest of the goons have been taking care of- at least, for the most part. Now that they're out of the way, the fox turns his full attention towards the teammate. Recalling what Sougo had said earlier about 'the belt,' he lunges forward and secures a hand around Sougo's belt, quickly undoing it and yanking it right off in hopes that it would break the mind control.

"Got it!"

Eric

The Espeon waves the two rightfully concerned men (those being All Might and Hershel, of course) off, as laid back as ever. "Calm down, you two. Especially you, blondie, you're starting to sound like my pal Larry. I warned ya' guys! I don't have much experience with human treatment. But trust me- if these traditional Pokemon treatments didn't work, I wouldn't be using them!" Eric gently rubs some pine sap over another gash to disinfect it. Reaching for another canteen, he tips it only to see one measly drop slowly drip out. He then checks his bag. Out of berries, too. "Lucky for you, I have to switch now anyway. Woulda packed more medical supplies if I knew you'd be blowing up buildings!"

He helps set a broken bone of one of the civilians, wincing a little at the snap.

"But really, you guys seriously NEED to get some Pokemon Berries around here, at LEAST. I mean, c'mon, one Rawst is enough to treat any serious burn," he continues as he wraps a splint around them. "By the way, I charge extra for preventing executions. Take it out of the pirate's bank account." He moves to another civilian and starts treating their burns. "Nah, just kidding. Unless you want to pay me. I mean, I'm kinda rolling in money back home, but I can't exactly make withdrawals from Duskull Bank here. Most I've seen are ATMs and I'm pretty sure every single one has a guy with a knife waiting around the closest corner." He glances up at the wounded person he'd been helping. "How's the burn feel? Don't touch it, okay?" The Espeon then promptly zips towards the next patient and gets right back to rambling. "I think the crime rate here really adds to the experience though, y'know? Exploding buildings, killer aliens, creepy billionaire guys, I think it all comes together in one really neat package. Oh, and by the way, Hershel-"

Eric smirks at the man, resting a paw on his cheek and swishing his tail playfully at him as he uses Psychic to continue working on the patient behind him.

"'Good behavior' is my middle name!"

The cat salutes, jovial as can be.

Eric rolls his eyes at Negan's unsatisfactory performance. Booze? Really? That alcohol isn't concentrated. That silly goose Negan. "No no no no nooo, my drunk friend! You need to use PROPER alcohol!" The Pokemon takes out a small bowl from his bag as well as a couple of berries, then begins to crush them with a stick taken from the same pouch. Soon enough, he's made a good enough puree to be drank straight from the bowl. He then hovers it over to Negan. "Here. Combine that hard liquor with this fruity goodness and take a good long chug of that. In my presence, you'll drink nothing but the best alcohol. Understand? I'm not taking no for an answer."

The cat winks at the man and gets right back up to bandaging up civilians and treating their burns, humming to himself as if nothing had happened and stowing away the other items in his bag.

He might be actually insane.

Grey

Wait- the masks? Grey glances over at Lilith and the others joining in to remove the masks from their attackers. Of course- the Hatter's probably controlling them that way! And their confused reactions after taking the masks off just confirms it!



Grey takes a deep breath and activates his shield, completely protecting him from any attacks and allowing him to pull the mask off of each goon that comes his way with ease. He yanks the mask off of one, then kicks another and takes the mask from him, then, ducking another punch, sweeps the legs out from under another minion and takes his mask off, too!

BANG!

Eric had felt the gunshot shake the ground. With a flick of his tail and a glowing of his gem, the bullet stops mere centimeters away from the civilian's head. The Espeon calmly looks over at Voss, smiling.

"Trigger discipline saves lives, you know. It's simple. Take your finger off the trigger, and BAM!" Eric lets loose the bullet, launching it at the speed of sound over Voss' shoulder. "Everyone's just a little bit safer!" He then opens his eyes and stares at Voss, blinking in confusion. "Whoops. Kinda broke my own rule there. Oh well. Do as I say, not as I do! Here, Captain Kenway," Eric throws a roll of bandages towards Voss. "You know how to wrap a gash, right?"

Eric

Having noticed Ultron's apparent need for secrecy, he floats over and whispers directly into Ultron's... audio receptors? Let's just call them ears.

"are we telling secrets" he asks excitedly. "i have one too... did you know the human body can survive with only 22 bones intact"

Grey

Seeing Shantae in her monkey form jump on Sougo and the man flailing around trying to peel her off his face, Grey takes the opportunity to grab Sougo by the arm and pull him away from the other masked attackers. He launches more bolts of energy at the minions of the Hatter, then turns to another small group of them. His scarf goes from its signature pink to a brilliant white in the blink of an eye, and outstretching his arm, he launches a small, violent tornado at the group that's sure to blow them away and knock them all down for the rest of the fight!

"Keep him occupied, weird... shapeshifting girl!" he shouts at Shantae, then raises his voice to address the Hatter. "Are you gonna help your goons or what?"

The rising heaviness in his head is making it a bit more difficult to fight, but Grey powers through.

"I'm not too experienced with human treatments, but I'll do what I can. Sort of on-topic question, by the way: do we have anyone rescuing the people that might be stuck in that building? 'cause I'm not seeing anyone coming out."

Eric gets to work retrieving bodies from the street with Psychic, careful not to move them too quick in order to avoid any further injuries. He then takes a wrap of bandages and a few splints from the designated crate as well as some of the berries and plants in his bag and begins getting to work treating wounds.

"Hey, Hersh- Horsey- Hertz- Hershey- fancy man, you don't happen to have any rubbing alcohol on you, do you? There's only so much pine sap I can contribute here."
