Surprise! Sample Time

[radiantchicken]

It's a quiet, peaceful day here in the city...or at least it was until a monster came crashing through a nearby building. Fortunately for everyone in the nearby area, the monster isn't exactly alone. A silver-clad figure is in hot pursuit of the monster. He's got a sword, he knows how to use it, and he is most displeased that this fight has erupted into a populated area.

"Get out of here, quickly!" The man in silver has absolutely no qualms about fighting this monster comprised of various movie-themed parts, but boy does he not want any bystanders to get hurt. "I'll handle this!"

...welp. This is not at all the reaction the silver-clad hero had been hoping for; he'd hoped for sensible running to safety. Only one thing to do now. He beats the monster back with his sword a few times--not hard enough for a permanent defeat; it's still too crowded to unleash the Torinity Strazor safely--and takes a step back. Red and blue wings appear from his back, almost as though they're some sort of energy projection, and he takes to the air, flying low, intending to grab Bakura and physically haul the boy away if he wouldn't run.

... and the hero had wings???

The hero had wings!!

This day was getting better and better!

There's a small, startled "Aa--" as he's grabbed and the wonder in his expression shifts to a bit of confusion.

...Until he realizes that the hero is still flying which means he's also flying!

(and really, with how impossibly light he is, Torin may as well have been hefting a small child. Which. Honestly isn't that inaccurate.)

Torin wasn't flying too high with the kid, just high enough to safely get him a couple of blocks away so he can set Bakura down before turning to fly off towards the monster again. It was stomping after the pair of them, so Torin didn't have quite so far to go as he'd like.

He touched down, wings vanishing. "Get to safety!" His sword was now in one hand, and with the other, he drew his GigaGaburevolver. Torin remained firm as he opened fire on the monster--he'd prefer to get everyone clear before he really got serious.

Safety was the last thing on Bakura's mind, but out of deference for the super cool hero guy he did his best to half-hide behind a wall and watch what was sure to be an awesome battle from behind some cover.

...and also maybe take some pictures with his phone. Because there was no way that Jounouchi would believe him without proof.

"Hey!" the monster says angrily. "I'm the only one who's filming here!" It menacingly waves its arms around. "ACTION!"

And there's a flash, a puff of smoke, and a title card appears somewhere in the air. HOW DEBOSS WON THE WILD WEST briefly flashes in the sky. The silver-clad hero is no longer silver-clad but a winged bird-lizard-man now dressed in a sheriff's uniform (complete with cowboy hat). He's still holding his gun (close enough to be thematically appropriate), but his sword is for the moment nowhere to be seen.

The wall Bakura was hiding behind is now a rough wooden wall, and Bakura will find himself attired in Western-style clothing (also complete with cowboy hat).

The monster has for the moment vanished.

There's a sigh out of Torin. "I shouldn't have watched that DVD last night, my apologies. It appears to have given him some ideas." He's not making any move to holster his weapon, not yet. Not when he's expecting a stagecoach ambush or to suddenly be challenged to a shootout.

Bakura blinks twice at his new outfit before applauding with a happy laugh. "Aaaa, this is so cool! Never done a Western themed LARP before!" he grinned, stepping out from his hiding spot. "Heeeeh, the boots even have those metal things!" he realized, lifting a foot up behind him and trying to peer at it.

Torin still hasn't let his guard down. "This is not a game," he says sternly, "but I will do everything I can to keep you safe. You shouldn't have been swept up in this."
