Been Out Heroing

I have been running around kicking some serious butt as of late. Night time patrol involves a lot of assaults and only a little drug busting.  No sight of Lane recently.  I guess it is pretty dumb to assume I'd run into the same person twice with random encounters.  Basic obstacle course is done, I've been playing on that a bit.  I hope nobody injures themselves on it.  Lots of rope, logs, and height involved.  It is good for jumping and climbing practice.  Since my powers don't really allow me to do any supernatural feats of agility I need some practice in that area.  I need to make sure that I am at least a bit well rounded in the field.  I learned I can project out Taken up to somebody to drop them.  It is useful if the two guys with guns aren't near each other and I need to drop them at the same time.

Regular bad guys aren't any trouble unless it is a big group of them.  Injuries heal extremely fast, basically gone in one night. Maybe I should go on a quest to try and get a new demon? I wonder if I could do that.

Been Out

Hey, sorry I have been out everyone. I met this girl the other night. Her name is Lane. I am interested in her, she has long brown hair, she is not to much taller than 5 foot. She is a college girl and hangs out with a frat. She is really bold and has a lot of personality. But I think she has a power...
Oh, and I did introduce myself to her. Here is how the story goes. She was walking with a friend when 4 guys in a car rolled up. The 4 guys were hooting and hollering at her from the car, and the frat guy she was with yelled something back that pissed them off. So they got out of the car to go over to them. Lane didn't back away or anything even though frat boy seemed nervous. When the guys got over to them they actually beat on frat boy a little and sent him packing. But Lane still didn't seem nervous so I was confused as to whether or not she was really in trouble. The guys were saying things to her and one of them started to put his hands on her so I started to move in.  But she whispered something in the guys ear while I was getting ready for the jump. And the one guy she whispered something to turned on his friends? In Angel Band vision terms, the guy's spirit color jumped straight to this dark pine greenish color, which I am now assuming is jealousy. The guy apparently wanted Lane all to himself enough that he started fighting with his friends. I was done with this though so I jumped in, hit two down with my bat, and then grabbed the other two to stun them and hit their heads together.
Lane looked kind of surprised, but not like she was freaked out or anything. And at that very moment, I realized something important. I knew a better super hero outfit. She said, "You really should get some less baggy clothing." I asked her if she was okay? If she needed assistance getting somewhere by herself? If she knew that this is a dangerous area for a girl to be walking all by herself? She just told me that she can handle herself. And as she walked away she ran a finger along my back.  And I felt stupid all of a sudden.  Like the dumbstruck love kind of stupid.  But that went away quickly because I remembered my girl back home. Anyway, I think she can mess with peoples emotions with her touch... Maybe I'll see her around again sometime.

Other than that, what has been going on is I've been building an obstacle course in a park. The park I found is never patrolled on the inside so I made a fake sign stating that park renovations have been funded by a private donor and included a little pamphlet about what the obstacle course is supposed to represent when it is finished. It is a bunch of bull, but it looks pretty legit. I got the area surrounded with orange cones, the sign in two spots, and the little pamphlets hanging off each sign.  I've been working on it early in the morning to late in the afternoon like I am an official one man team. And if people come over and ask, I pretend to be official.  The runners that go by seem to be more excited in anticipation for it to be finished than curious about why a wealthy donor would be renovating an infrequently used wooded park with his only demand being that they city puts in a obstacle course.  I have also got a few people who have asked where the rest of the workers are at a few times and I've tried to slide around that with mention of union strikes that have been going on. It has been a lot of work and I want to get it done so people will be less likely to tear it down.  There is stuff to climb, stuff to jump over, stuff to climb then jump from, there is a mud pit under a lot of it and it is built out of some trees that the park is now missing.  I need to learn how to make a rope bridge like boy scouts make.  And I have been looking at a few different obstacle courses to get ideas from as well.  Anyway, I am headed out, I don't usually stay in during the morning this late. Laters.

Patrol - 9/15/10

Last night was kind of quiet.  Not a good money making night for me.  But there was a pretty good fight last night.  I think I am getting to be a bit stronger on the hero track now that I have Taken.  There was a brawl last night.  A few guys with bats, chains, knifes, and the sort met up with some other guys with the same type of equipment.  Anyway, I ended up joining the brawl.

The fight was starting when I got there.  I discovered that Taken allows me to fight much better against people.  If I hold onto somebody, they start to seize.  If I punch them with a closed fist they seem to be dazed.  Either way the fight went from something little to big pretty quickly because more people from back alleys joined in at different points.  It was like an X vs X vs 1.  Either way I don't even feel blunt pain to much anymore from fists.  Bats and stuff bother me less than they used too.  Knife wounds heal even faster.  Even lethal blows I can get up from pretty quickly.  Nothing was too deadly that I got, I caught a knife or two in the back at the fight.  But I could get up and keep going after being down for a minute.  Either way I dropped a bunch of people, they could always get back up from it.  But my punches do something to a person's vitals now, I think that is more effective than just the blunt force.  Cops showed up at some point and everyone cheesed it.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better night for patrol. But tonight was fun.

Power Discovery #5

So today I worked my Demon Band some more.  New demon does different things.  I will call him Taken.  Taken looks like a black silhouette of a lanky bald man.  His eyes are a purple black and gray light that is kind of clouded.  He is about 5 feet tall.

I can project out Fallen as well as Taken simultaneously or one at a time.  Taken is one of the demons that took the soul of the guy the other day.  As far as I can tell when they are both projected the distance they can be from me is a little farther than it is for just one.  The distance increase is about 10'.  So Taken and Fallen get along so far as I can tell.  They act independently and interact when they are projected, but they have to obey me when I command them.  I left them both projected, and while I was paying attention to Taken, Fallen went next door and began to cause the neighbor to be afraid.  Taken doesn't really misbehave, he sticks around me.  He doesn't influence peoples emotions.  I asked him to do what he does once as long as it doesn't kill somebody.  He gave somebody a seizure by touching them.  I told him to stop and Taken let go, then the man was better.

When Fallen is projected and not Taken I still heal faster.  Taken also makes my breath chill glasses and create a layer of frost on water.  I haven't tried touching anybody yet.  Maybe I will notice something new during a fist fight later.

When I have both Fallen and Taken in the band my breath is still a little warmer than it should be, but not by much. I heal faster, I'd say about twice as fast with them both in the Demon Band.  I was working on breath control a bit and I can get my breath up to being as hot or as cold as Fallen or Taken allowed, but it requires some time.  Other than this apparent things, I haven't noticed a difference.

I experimented with the breath temperature change.  I projected Taken out so my breath would be only heat.  I warmed up a rock for awhile so it reached as hot as I could get it.  Then I called Taken back in and projected Fallen out so my breath would be cold.  I fast cooled the rock with my now cold breath and broke it with a hammer.  It wasn't like it was too brittle or anything, but it was probably easier to break.

I am going to go out tonight and see if I am any better than before.  I am getting in a better natural physical shape as well.  I have gained weight, I can lift more, run faster, jump higher, and I have more energy.  It isn't like it is superhuman though.  I am just getting in really good shape for a guy of 170lbs.

Interesting Experience

So the other night I was out doing some crime fighting.  I did something that is not a good thing.  While busting a drug deal a guy pointed a gun at me.  I think I shot his soul out of his body.  I raised my hand at his at him and a black funnel looking sunburst came out of my hand and went through him.  Through one of my eyes I saw his physical body seize and then fall.  With the Angel Band sight I saw his soul get pushed outside of his body.  It was shaped just as his body. He looked around for a second.  Then these other beings I could see with my spirit sight phased in around the guys body and it looked like they pulled him down into the earth.  I raised my hand again (apparently hand raising is dangerous and significant) and the purplish vortex from the Demon Band ate one of the demons.  I need to figure out what has changed.  So I am not going out tonight.  Talk to you people tomorrow.

Patrol - 9/11/10

September 11th.  I'd like to write where I was at, but it is confidential.  You know the whole, hero's secret identity thing.  I saw some guys out by a fire department last night drinking and throwing bottles on their lot.  I didn't do anything to the people but I picked up after them.
I did smack some people around last night though.  A woman and man were getting jumped in an alley by a group.  I took out the beat stick and opened a can of whoop ass.  But the guy tried to help I think.  It isn't like he is far behind me.  There were about 6 of the bad guys.  I dropped one on the jump and another tried to hit me over the head with a bottle.  That really seems to have no effect.  Bludgeoning stuff doesn't break my skin so I am fine with those hits.  But the man tried to help by punching one of the bad guys in the kidney.  Then he jumped on another guys back and put him in a headlock.  I was taking care of the other 4 while he was brawling with his two.  But I downed my guys faster and came to help him with his.  Baseball bats make things end faster in a fight.  Anyway, I ended up getting a few shallow knife wounds.  They will be gone tomorrow.  The other guy got a black eye and a split lip, don't know what else he got under his clothes as injuries.  But he was thankful, and we sent the thugs packing
One of the knife wounds was across my forearm and I was having trouble gripping the bat so I headed in after that :/
Cincinnati is not doing to well for me so far.  But I found the martial arts group I will be joining, so at least I'll get training in during the day.

Patrol - 9/10/10

Oktoberfest is going on this weekend!  W00t!  I am going to be celebrating as well as patrolling.  But it is down in Covington. So I will be in the greater Cincinnati area.  Broke up some fights but didn't really do to much other than that.  Drunk people + Fallen's influence = crying drunks.  It is almost hilarious.  Anyway, I guess I'm helping cops out doing minor work.

Patrol - 9/9/10

I went out and first off I jumped another marijuana deal.  People just seem to do it as a quick pass off thing.  This time I tried to see if I wouldn't have to get involved.  I projected Fallen to influence the dealer and the buyer to anger.  It was a really bad idea.  The dealer started asking for more money, the dealer got angry because the buyer started bad mouthing him.  The dealer pulled a gun out and eventually there was a little bit of a tussle.  Anyway the buyer got shot and the dealer ran off because I jumped in to intervene.  I took searched the buyers pockets for his phone and called 911.  Then I used my little medkit to rap his wound.  I really don't know what to do when somebody has been shot.  Alcohol sterilizes as far as I know, and a whole lot of the clothy gauze stuff helps keep the blood in I guess.  I hope the guy didn't die.  But I couldn't stick around either.  I waited with him in sight for the ambulance to get there and they rushed him off to the hospital.  Fallen can really set people off.The next thing I ran into was actually the same guy from earlier who shot his buyer.  I guess he found somebody who owed him money and after he yelled for awhile, he pistol whipped the guy!  I thought he was an ass, either way the person who owed him money was holding his head on the ground.  And the dealers attention was at him, so I clubbed down the dealer after sneaking up behind him.  I shooed away the other guy and burned the drugs on the dealer.
The next part of the night was kind of silly.  There was an argument that I broke up.  I projected Fallen out and influenced one to anger and the other to fear.  So the afraid person ran off, then I had Fallen influence the angry guy to just be less bright in his soul.  So he stopped caring, he actually went from red to blue, he was sad or despairing over something.  I'm going to have to get used to peoples emotions and not reacting to them.
The night was pretty lame, but I ended up breaking up one more fight.  This time I used the bat, I just beat both of them up and sent them packing.  Fighting is still pretty easy for me since I don't get tired and I don't even really get bruised.

I need to start getting some good hauls in.  My leg is pretty much better after the night though, it was a pretty shallow wound.

I wonder where SuperFantastic is at?

Patrol - 9/8/10

So last night started pretty good.  I found some guys doing a little marijuana deal at a dark street corner.  I bashed the main guy down and the other guy freaked. He tried to pull a gun, but I hit it up out of his hand with the bat.  The element of surprise is nice, people don't know how to react most of the time.
I also ended up breaking up a fight outside a bar.  I projected out Fallen, and I had him go to the big guy and influence him to fear.  And when the guy who looked like he was losing came back at him he ended up backing off and running off.  Apparently Fallen can spook somebody pretty bad.
The night took a turn for the worse after that.  Some actually ended up cornering me in a street.  I am going to need to pay attention better when patrolling in Cincinnati, the city is more densely populated.  The guys asked me what I was doing on their street and called me a freak and used some pretty nasty language.  I couldn't even really understand what they were saying completely because I don't have the accent down yet.  But anyway, I ended up breaking through their line and they shot at me while I was headed off the street.  I got clipped on the leg and my back got dinged, I had my improv shield on though so it worked as good as I could have hoped. 

I headed back home then because that seemed to be enough for one night for me.  The leg injury isn't to big of a concern.  I can hide it under pants.  A new concern is where to bury my bands at night.  I need a place where animals won't dig it up and where people won't get curious.  I should be in good enough shape to go out again tonight.

Hero free time activity of the day - Throwing playing cards.

Patrol - 9/7/10

Okay so Cincinnati is a whole new ball park.  It isn't a search kind of thing like my old city was.  It is more like, certain streets have scouts for the police and they do drug deals in public and there are gangs around the drug dealers.  So not only do they have eyes out, but they also have large numbers that I can't take.  My normal targets may have to change.  I guess I can try and find where the drugs are being made/grown at.  But I have a whole new deal on my plate here.  I need to get my work out there to pat rent and buy all sorts of food and training now too!

But there is violent crime all over the place here.  I beat on a few muggers last night.  I am not sure what the people are who witnessed my rescues thought of it that watched.  There were 3 mug interceptions I did, 2 people stayed and called the police and one ran.  I will describe one of the encounters.
A woman was being stalked. But I was stalking the stalker. He waited till the girl turned a corner out of sight of people and then he did a bag snatching. So I chased him down not to far of a distance. When I got close enough I threw my improv shield at the back of his legs. It tripped him up enough that I caught up to him and walloped him in the back with my bat. He went down and went to grab a gun, but I kicked it out of his hand then kicked him in the gut. The woman caught up, and I wrestled with him for a bit, but I can't wear out so he ended up wearing out. He surrendered eventually and I told him to get lost and I gave the woman her purse back.
It felt good to help, but there was no profit there.  I don't want to have to get a real job.

And question for others out there.  I discovered that homeless people steal from each other and fight.  What am I supposed to do about this?  I don't even know if the stuff they have is worth fighting for, at least I don't want to injure somebody homeless because most of them are older and I don't think they could get medical attention. Help?

Moved in to the new "lair"

So I have a lair now. It has all my top secret things inside. Like a very secret brand of protein power, secret brands of vitamins, a secret brand of energy drinks, my secret set of dumbbells, a secret bed, secret bathroom, secret fridge... the works for a secret apartment lair!

I need to meet the roommates and see whether or not they are interesting people.  See if they are nosy more specifically.  I may not be able to sneak in and out every night if they are nosy.  But I feel relieved to be out here in a new place on my own.  I will start patrolling tonight!  I hear several streets such as race and over the rhine could be problematic.

Moving Tomorrow!

Hey everybody.  Tomorrow I am moving to the new place.  So I may not be posting this weekend.  I will get back sometime during this next week though! Patrol was canceled, because of the healing times I don't want to be injured during the move.

Hope everyone has a good night.

Patrol - 9/1/10

Casual night, didn't pick fights I couldn't handle.  I'm making some money and I'm thinking I want a retractable baton that would be less bulky than my bat.  I also want something as strong as a riot shield that would be retractable, but I don't know if that kind of thing exists.  I was just in a small alley tonight, it was impossible to swing a bat in it.

Almost the weekend! I am finishing up packing tomorrow.  The dojo even refunded me my money since I can't stay.  I even found a place up around the greater Cincinnati area to go now.  I have developed a bit of a stash from all this patrol work.  I am enjoying this as a profession and Cincinnati should bring a lot of opportunity.  It is like a promotion, I am excited.  Anyway, I'm out, later everyone.

Power Discovery #4 --- Patrol - 8/31/10

Went out last night.  I figure it can be a nightly thing if I am going to make my profession being a super hero.  Maybe I will just call it being a hero now, I can't really do anything... "super".

I ended up going out, busted up a drug deal early on and picked up a bit of cash and more bullets for my collection.  I looked out at the bar that I found the girl at last night.  She wasn't there again tonight. But the guy was. It looked to me as if he was just there with friends and avoiding alcohol.  I guess a bad night "due to alcohol" can cause somebody to lay off heavy drinking for awhile.

Learned a new trick tonight.  When I was trying to see through a wall at a certain distance the Angel Band didn't reach I accidentally called out my demon in the Demon Band.  It is interesting, I lose the powers from the Demon Band to myself, but it is like I am linked to the demon.  I can communicate with him with feelings, it goes on in the head.  I am going to call him Fallen.  It isn't a thought based communication, it is incoherent when he thinks at me and I think at him, but I can feel what he is feeling and he feels what I feel I guess.  He feels a whole lot of grief, hate, spite, and murderous intention.  It is not pleasant sharing an emotional bond with Fallen.  Fallen doesn't like me, but is commanded by me.

On to what this does though.  In addition to my vision, I can see Fallen's vision.  It is much like the Angel Band's vision, but it is a more complete field of vision and there is even less substance to the physical world.  There is also a greater substance to spiritual content of people.  Other than the shared vision Fallen can move a good deal away from me, but he can only go about 100' away from me.  He goes straight through stuff, up and down as well as side to side.  He can even poof in and out inside this area.  His direct effect on people I can see with the Angel band.  He can influence their spirit.  I guess it is nifty, the content of their spirit's light can be dimmed, it can be made more red (anger), or more purple which I am assuming is fear.  During purple a person will act paranoid almost, like they are being followed.

I can get tired when Fallen is apart from me, as well as my breath is standard in temperature.  I will explore what this stuff can be used for more later.  Night everybody.
