NONSENSE AS ALWAYS

[tadeadshi]

Deal.

[With that out of the way, Sunfire also kind of just flumphs back onto his ass to sit facing Thunderstruck. But however relaxed he looks, he's still ready to bolt if he has to.]

Whatcha got?

[ear_wormed]

[ Probably a good idea. Thunderstruck looks like he'd chase you too. ]

Who the hell are you?

[tadeadshi]

[Well that's a start. Easy enough.]

Name's Sunfire. Fire hero and all.

[ear_wormed]

Yeah, I got that. But you're nowhere in his database.

[tadeadshi]

Call me an out of town tourist that happened to be walking by and couldn't ignore it.

[ear_wormed]

[ He scowls at that. ]

Tourists don't show up with tech like that.

[ He gestures at the suit. ]

[tadeadshi]

A tourist who is a hero who happened to be in the area.

[ear_wormed]

You think his database doesn't extend past Halcyon City?

[ A sharp little headshake. ]

I'd believe a known hero coming in from another town. But you're nowhere. You're no one.

Who the hell are you?

[tadeadshi]

I dunno what to tell you, I'm Sunfire and a hero from out of town. 's all I got.

[ear_wormed]

Then I can't let you have that piece of tech.

[ He sighs. ]

Look, just - come back with me? If Forecast can clear you, then I'll stop bothering you.

[tadeadshi]

[He shrugs a bit at that, all loose and languid despite the suit.]

Sorry, but I can't do that. I need it. I have to take it back with me.

[ear_wormed]

Why? Where? Who wants it?

[tadeadshi]

Me, back home, for my own research.

[It's... technically not lying. It is research for him.]

[ear_wormed]

[ True or not, Cyril's bafflement continues. ]

Then I'm coming with you.

[tadeadshi]

[All Thunderstruck can see is Sunfire's helmet watching him, unmoving.]

Pretty long trip.

[ear_wormed]

[ Creepy. Thunderstruck's own expression is faintly unnerved in turn.

(But he really can't just let this go. Too important, too big of a failure not to run down.) ]

That's fine.

[tadeadshi]

[Sunfire's shoulders shrug up as he stands to his feet.]

All right. But don't say I didn't warn you. Do you fly or is the lightning just for the shock value?

[ear_wormed]

[ The BIGGEST fucking eye roll at that goddamn pun.

He doesn't bother to answer directly, just gestures and rises a couple feet out of the air. ]

[tadeadshi]

[He does watch that happen before lifting himself up into the air a bit as well, though his do require some flames to elevate.]

Neat.

All right, we are going west. Unless you need to stop and get some things. I'm not kidding about the long trip.

[ear_wormed]

[ So they’re both flying. Yeah, he can do that. ]

I’m fine. Did you think I’d come out here unprepared?

[tadeadshi]

Hey, I dunno what you prep for. Figured maybe you were still only in fight mode with no extra clothes.

[He does lead them a little away though. A few miles before touching down.]

Gotta grab my bag, hold on. [Before he disappears into an alley alcove. He'll just grab his bag from behind a dumpster don't worry about it.]

[ear_wormed]

[ Tadashi is in fact correct, he really didn’t bring much extra,

But he’s stubborn, and really not interested in letting Tadashi out of his sight. He lingers close, frowning. ]

What are you getting?

[tadeadshi]

My extra clothes, toothbrush, deodorant. Not leaving that stuff here, taking it home.

[ear_wormed]

… oh. I guess - that would be useful. Sure.
