raisetheearth | Action - Locke City

Action:

He thought he was just going to take a break. A nice open spot among the rubble of a leveled building was suitable enough. The ceiling was gone crushed a year ago when the worst of the invasion had hit Locke. Most of the city had been rebuilt, but a few remnants of that fateful day remained. Idly Tony kicked at some debris as he hunkered down for a rest, but suddenly he wasn't in the ruins anymore.

He was in side some really gaudy building, a theater maybe? A church? He couldn't tell, but there was... a spotlight. The events that followed were nothing short of bizarre.

Quickly he found himself a passenger in his own- no, his other's body. This wasn't him, he knew as soon as he realized that no matter how hard he strained he had no command over what was happening. He was simply a witness, riding along while the whole world went completely bonkers around him. As it turns out, his other was quite the actor, as was this strange monocle wearing guy who turned into a beetle or something. What is even happening he just doesn't know.

Meanwhile anyone outside would be witness to quite a show- a one-sided play. Followed by an even more impressive one-sided battle. Much of the already destroyed terrain only got more destroyed as Tony hopped around completely against his will. Bullets flying, Rebellion crushing easily through fallen concrete like it was dry and brittle wood. On his own side he was overwhelmed. The power of this man he was riding along as was immense, almost unfathomable. But the echo held him firmly in its grip, there just wasn't enough time to really think about any of it.

At the end when he was standing still, arm still raised after his final curtain-call bullet shot straight into the air, the echo released him. He let out an alarmed sound and collapsed, thoroughly exhausted. Even during the invasion he'd not fought like that, and it truly did feel like he'd just fought an epic battle against a foe of ridiculous power.

What in the hell?

Tony's just going to stay there for a while trying to sort out his brain and catch his breath, because wow.

That's it. I want off this ride. I don't give a damn about saving the world or whatever. I've had enough. Shit's gone stupid. I didn't sign up for fucking bullshit mothmen or whatever the fuck all of that was, I'm out. Canceling my subscription. Someone take these goddamned numbers I've had enough.

that blows how do u acount for the people who seem happy about it all?

Luck? Didn't get stuck with the universe's old laundry version of souls? Hell if I know.

haha old laundry version of souls? who has that?

considering some of the weird bs I've been getting I'm not so sure I didn't. This one's all washed up and over-used, time for a trade-in.

Yeah, I know the feeling. My life's sad enough already without a new one to worry about.

We should start a club. But it'd be the most depressing club and I'd hate to read the newsletter.

What the hell would even be in a newsletter like that?

Coping methods and advertisements for anti-depressants.

anti depressents are overated

doesn't really fix the state of the world that's making you depressed in the first place. That's for sure.

u ever been on them?? ive been on prozac and zoloft before didnt really like them

I was never really in a position to find out. Don't remember what they put me on when I was a kid but it wasn't for depression.

sorry that sux what was it for?

apparently they thought I was schizophrenic

scary shit, is that the 1 where u have multiple personalitys? never new anyone with that

I don't think so? I'm not an expert though so don't take my word for it. They thought I saw shit that wasn't there. 'Cept it was just an echo.

pretty sure its that 1 yah. i saw it on tv once, there was a lady who had like 5 people living in her head. freaky shit that must have been ruff. u glad your not really crazy?

dunno how she does it I have a hard enough time with one haha. Eh. It's over now. And I wouldn't say I'm not crazy i'm just a different kind of crazy heh heh.

maybe u shoud see a pychiatrist

Know any that deal with numbered?

im pretty new i dont even know wich numbered see psycsh youd have a better idea

that's a big no then.

I AM NEW. I DONT KNOW. you dont have t obe a dick about it

holy shit relax. I'm saying no one treats us. Numbered aren't exactly well liked these days. Sure some areas are fine with us but good luck finding a doctor anyway.

then your really telling me that in all your time being a numbered no ones ever needed a doctor for anything its gonna suck when that happens
