Starbright couldn't help but laugh at the suggestion Seraph could avoid the footage. "Ha ha ha, as if anyone is going to forget the kidnapping of America's sweetheart." Referring to himself. "Yes he might get away with it if it were one of you normal people but I'm a star in the height of my popularity. Either way, its not like I can release it at the moment you didn't let me grab my phone before 'forcefully rescuing' me. So it should release in about 3 days from now. If we fail in your plan that's our back up." As the helicopter landed, he didn't comment on the suggestion he would become the most popular hero if this was a success. He simply stretched out of his relaxed position, "you did save me though, so I will help you out with your plans."

Without even saying anything on the matter, Starbright got an earful about keeping it confidential. "Oh my lips are sealed." He said in a way to worry Christina the most. Of course he wouldn't actually tell anyone but he started to get the idea he would enjoy teasing her, much like Patty. After that he thoroughly inspected the bin before getting in. As in like a minute of looking at every part of it to make sure it was clean. Even then Starbright swore he was pushed by Tom before he actually went down.



Was Starbright not supposed to get a little weirded out that HERO was keeping back up plans to take everyone out? Because that is exactly what he felt. It gave him a sense of unease to it all. His own contingency plan was horrific, changing his appearance would do so much worse than just killing him. At least if he died beautiful he would be able to be a martyr, him looking average to freakish would just make him nothing. But he got a laugh when he saw Patty's one. "Hey, its not called plagiarism if the product 'never existed' right? I wouldn't mind this Anti-Noise thing for a bit of self protection against her. She ain't a murderer like Seraph's saying but that doesn't mean she is an angel by any means." As they carried on down he accepted the sponges given to him, but some part of him really wanted the dart gun for Seraph. It wasn't his place to make genuine demands though, teasing around was fine but when it came down to actual fighting it was best he just listened.

"Oh my god! Is that Perfect Physique? More like saggy physique, am I right? Ha ha ha, you remember that right? About two years ago? Kind of ended your career, good times, good times." After Starbright's relentless teasing he saw the match ups form, he was against bulb boy. But Starbright would like to think he is smarter than that. After the fight with the leftovers a good few months ago, he can recognize an opponent that draws power from his and he wasn't going to stupidly blast at him like the Starbright of the past would do. "Look, Bulb Bongo or whatever right? Here's the deal all I have to do is stall you long enough for Christina over there to absolutely demolish your Australian friend and then its only a matter of time before she comes over to put the lights out on you. Frankly, I would just hate to see it. As you may or may not know I have a fondness for light powers, and I would love to see you shine more in future. EAGLES doesn't really have a future left. So that being said, how much money do you want to join my friend over there" pointing at Tom "and gang up on super sag instead. I'm sure I can make it much more worth your while than EAGLES ever will."

Edit: Will probably pull out I think I misunderstood this RP for a more standard vampire hunting things. Best of luck with it though.

I'm interested but I'll see if my concept gets the go ahead first.

So I was thinking of my character originating from the deepest parts of Russia. The concept being that the winters of that part have very little sun to begin with, so every winter the vampires would come in small numbers for feeding. Not enough to alert the rest of the world. (Inspired by 30 Days of Night.) A few families tried resisting, but resistance meant more lives taken. Still, with persistence they were able to take down a some over the years the old fashion way, destroying the heart.

My character would try to replicate his approach in reverence of his towns history. Using a Crimson Arm flamethrower to weaken the vampires then use a blade for the heart. I also envision him in something similar to a Warhammer Space Marine get up to content with their super strength a little bit better.

I would also say I would prefer my character be 18 at least, because of the dark and likely violent nature of the story. Either way let me know if the concept seems alright for your story.

Could be interested.

Though I would like some more detail on what Crimson Arms are, are they just guns or more? Also how do the vampires react to fire?

Noticing the woman drop from his ceiling, he was initially shocked. But then he reverted to the regular Starbright playfulness. "Hey look you're on TV." Pointing toward the news story. "But if you were really a hero you would at least have the respect to kno..." He was interrupted as he was getting grabbed, immediately he put on an overblown act as if he was being hurt. This only stopped as the two were just above the ceiling, smiling smugly toward her. "How did you know I like it when women are pushy." He teased hoping to catch her off guard.

But as the star lay back in the bay of the helicopter, he listened to Tom explain what was happening. "So you put a hole in my roof and kidnapped me because you are on my side and want to help? I was joking at first but next time please just knock." He gave of a short laugh before continuing. "Either way, this all worked out well enough. You see I watched a movie a few years ago called the Truman Show. I thought to myself, how could someone who looks so... average get a show like that. It just didn't make sense, so I had a camera system set up all around my house. With EAGLES coming to power, I decided to convert it into a security system and the footage of my 'kidnapping' should be released upon my disappearance or death."

"It should give me some good leeway with Seraph given your association with him and the footage's capability to take down EAGLES. So unless you two have a better plan, I'll be going with my own. You don't mind a bit of jail time do you? I'm sure HERO will be able to get you back out after the fact."

"Rowie, you're very optimistic and all, but you know as well as I do that Summer Abernathy is never, ever going to forget this," Dakota said with a serious face. "She started this war, and she's going to see it through to the end. And anybody who has ever gone to war with Dakota Lawson knows that it does not end well..."

I guess it was a little optimistic, Rowan thought. She knew Summer was the type to hold a grudge. But Rowan had hoped now that they were all fully fledged witches that everyone could just resolve their problems like magic. But that doesn't happen in the real world, just because everyone linked to the wellspring doesn't mean we all handle our problems like adults, merely the ability to be dangerous like adults. Maybe the wellspring be the solution to everyone's problems like Rowan had first thought.

Not that Rowan could blame Dakota, she would probably have done the same in her position. It is a lot easier to sit back and state that peace is the right approach, but Rowan wasn't the one who got blinded and her pet threatened. All she could really do in the end was sit back and hope it worked itself out. It would take someone who is a lot better with people than me to work this one out, Rowan thought to herself, clearly not confident in her ability to solve this if it was even her place to do so.

"Night, y'all." Rowan shook her head a bit and blinked somewhat frequently as if coming out of a daze. She had lost herself in that trail of thought. But it was best she went back closer to the campfire to let Kota and Cal sleep. "Uh yeah good night."

Rowan didn't have an appetite so she hadn't partaken in the classic camping art of s'more making. She just sat around the fire, waiting for everyone to come back. The woods at night can be pretty dangerous and its easy to get lost. It was best she just wait a while, to make sure the whole group is safe. Then she would be just about ready to knock out, it has been a long day.

Starbright took this night to relax, the bath was all ready. He had a new herbal bath bomb from Japan or something, it smelt like just what he needed to calm down. Hoping in to the clearly oversized tub, even he had to stretch to reach the remote. There was a specific tune he wanted to play tonight. In fact, it was something he felt the great desire to play every night he took a bath.

"Splish splash, I was takin' a bath."
"Long about a Saturday night."

Starbright couldn't fight the urge to sing along. The bath tub was almost a ritual to him and it really helped get his mind off all this EAGLES business. Being one of the only spokespeople against it was tiring work and in all honesty there were points where he considered just leaving it all alone. If he didn't know the gang as much as he did, he would certainly be taking that approach.

It all wasn't anything new to Starbright though, this sort of this happens in the music industry all the time. In fact, he himself had pulled the exact same move EAGLES did a couple years back. But it is so much worse when it happens in the world of heroes, there are lives on the line this time. Which is probably what bothered Starbright so much.

There he went again, delving too deep into things, during bath time no less. This would certainly harm his ability to sleep. Instead of 8 hours he would likely only be getting 6. Which is unacceptable. Back to the song, maybe that could get his mind of it again.

"A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub."
"Thinkin' everything was alright."



After the bath it was time to make up dinner. Sure, he had a personal chef to make meals for him. But Starbright gave him the night off. 'I'm 19 now' he thought, 'its about time I learnt to make some of my own meals'. It was all part of an initiative Starbright was taking to govern his own life more, be more independent. Tonight's menu was eggs on toast.

They sucked. Starbright had gone through 5 eggs to only make a couple that looked decent. Still, they didn't taste very good. It tasted like poverty, and Starbright was not suited for that. But he had to stick to it, he had to learn.

At least he could soak up the view of the city. His lounge where he ate had large glass panels that overlooked the bright lights of the city. Like something was shining back just for him. Sure he could easily leave this place and be well out of the way of EAGLES, but he couldn't imagine a life away from Castleburg. Starbright will never leave this place, even if he has to fight for it.

The news report played the Spacewalker EAGLES story, Starbright wasn't very shocked. Of course the social media star betrayed the gang to join EAGLES, he thought, those ankle biters will do anything for a chance at real fame. Starbright had assumed this very unfavorable opinion without knowing the full story or context.

"Hey Kota, drink this, it'll help calm you down a bit." Rowan had moved over to Dakota and had a cup of tea held out to offer. Only after she said her first sentence did she realize 'calm you down a bit' could be taken in the wrong way. "Wait, hang on I uh, didn't mean it like that. I'm just saying all that must have been pretty scary." She took a seat next to Kota still offering the tea. "I don't know if its the wellspring or just because I haven't seen you all in a while but everyone seems a lot more powerful now."

Rowan threw a few more sticks on the fire, watching it rise up a bit before back down and becoming stable again. "I think we all need to take a bit more care with our magic now that we're proper witches. It was fine to fight and practically bite each others heads off when we were kids, but now we can just about blow each other up." Rowan had a short laugh to herself before continuing, what she said had sounded ridiculous but it was very true in her mind. "I just, don't want to see any of us get seriously hurt over some petty squabble. I think some others are going after Summer to settle her down now, you clocked her pretty good huh." She couldn't help but show a small smile of satisfaction when saying that. "Anyway, I hope you can make peace with her when she comes back. I don't think the Sisters were expecting a witch war on the first night. Neither did I, as a matter of fact." Rowan had another chuckle to herself.

Merely hours after Seraph's address, Starbright held a live stream toward his fans. 'Tears of sadness' ran down his face as he address the matter of Eagles. "So *sniffle* by now you all have heard about Eagles. *sniffle* I am sorry to say but I, Starbright, was not invited to join. Seraph has ended my hero career, I will keep producing my music but it will *sniffle* be tough with this weight on my heart. All I wanted to do was *more intensive crying*, save... people. But that isn't even the worst part."

Starbright had to try his absolute hardest not to smile at this next part. Although it was his duty to help keep Patty safe, he couldn't lie and say he wasn't about to enjoy what he was about to say. "A good friend... no, one of my dearest friends in HERO, Patty Donnelly, is being hunted down by Seraph. *sniffle* She couldn't be capable of murder she is only a teen and that isn't even all of it. She was my... biggest fan. Now, thinking about her on the run, all I can think about is that it could have been any one of my fans *sniffle* in her situation. So yeah, thats the main reason I am in tears. Please don't let this go unnoticed, I started a hashtag, #savestarbrightsbiggestfan, it up to all of you to be the heroes now." Well there you go Patty, Starbright thought. Until you start putting yourself in the spotlight, everyone will think you're my biggest fan.



Later on mainstream Castleburg news, a much more composed and serious Starbright made his address to those who aren't teenage girls.

"I think Seraph and Eagles are going in the right direction, Castleburg certainly needs change and has needed it for a long time." Starbright cringed at how vague the term 'change' was. He knew better than anybody that is was merely a buzz word people like himself and Seraph use to get blind support on an empty promise of progress. "However, the dispanding of HERO has gone under the notice of every employee there until Seraph's address. I think everyone would like a few things cleared up first, which is why I, Starbright, will be looking to produce an exclusive interview with retired legend, Hugo Powers. The problem is he has gone dark for the past week, so if anyone has any clue on his whereabouts let me know immediately. Not that I want to throw any accusations of course. Now where were we, ah, my new albu..."

The interview continues with non-hero matters for the entirety of the broadcast. Starbright added in that line about accusations, this should spark some conspiracy wack jobs to start speaking about a potential Powers kidnapping. Whether Seraph had been responsible for that or not was irrelevant, right now Eagles just needed as much doubt on them as possible without directly confronting them.
