...I'm Batman.
Okay, I think I can officially add "avoid junkyards" to my rules list. They can be helpful if you do gadget-work or engineering but they're cramped, full of sharp pointy objects, and it's all too easy for someone to hide in one of those mounds.
I was on my way out past the junkyard when I was nearly shanked by a masked loon jumping out of a mound of rubbish. Guy Fawkes mask, incidentally. He sorta stumbled towards me, he was easy to disarm, and I removed the mask and gave him my best "Really?" look.
A rattling behind me. Five guys. A couple were teenagers, but the other three were big, broad chested adults. All packing knives. I hate proxies sometimes. They were on me before I could slip away, and I was forced to defend myself with a piece of scrap metal from the ground. I kept trying to get to somewhere narrow, to fight em off one by one, but there were about three on me at once. I could barely maneuver, much less draw the sword.
Gazing up for a moment, I saw a hook dangling in midair, suspended by a cable A decrepit crane was parked nearby. It probably wouldn't run, but I can improvise. Leaping forward, I placed my feet on one of their chests and kicked off, grabbing the hook and swinging around, away from the mob.
I landed on top of one of the piles and started sliding down. Suddenly, something grabbed my legs from below. Massive hands- Obstruction. I wonder how long they made him wait in that junk heap?
The proxies from behind were coming, and I could see Jade approaching from ahead of me. Desperately, I cast my eyes around, looking for something, anything, to help me get away. I spotted it- a long piece of scrap metal, big enough for me to stand on. At that point, I figured it was just crazy enough to work. I stabbed Obstruction's hands, one knife to each. He yelled with pain and loosened his grip. (really, how did he think that was gonna turn out for him?) I jumped onto the scrap-snowboard and rode it down the pile. Jade dove out of the way and I kicked it back at her as I slid to a stop. I didn't look but I definitely heard a thwack and her shout.
I made it out of the junkyard without further incident, but I almost tripped over Shift not one block away. Tried to stab him but he phased away, and Valkyrie rounded the corner. Before I could even do anything she was on me, and I have a couple more gashes on my chest thanks to her. The proxies were coming at me from across the street, so there was only one way to run- a nearby alleyway. I prayed it wasn't a dead end.
man, fuck prayer. It was TOTALLY a dead end. Team Rhodes and the Redshirt Brigade were blocking off my only means of escape only a few seconds later. I did NOT like the look in Jade's eyes. Valkyrie gave a dull, quiet sort of smile.
"Shall we dance, little June?"
I looked up...and back at her. And grinned. "Really? That line is so cliche. If you wanna be villains in my story you're gonna need A-Material, lady."
Jade giggled, but man did Shift look pissed. Then again, when doesn't he? Valkyrie started towards me.
"Jocular even in the face of death. How utterly irritating. Obstruction, the cables?" The big man brought out some cable, probably to tie me up.
Oh, had I been waiting for this. I'd daydreamed a few scenarios where I got to unveil my little project I mentioned last post, but I never guessed I'd get as good a one as this was. Raising my hand to my belt, I removed it and pointed it skyward. "Cables? Allow me."
I pulled the trigger on the pistol and a grappling hook attached to some industrial cable shot out and dug into the edge of the roof. Giving them a cheery wave, I hit another button and was hoisted upwards. Not as fast as I'd've liked, but...I think they were all a little too dumbfounded to react. I mean, most of them were masked, but Jade and Shift's faces were priceless. Once I reached the top, I went over the roof and made good my escape. As I went, I couldn't resist yelling out a parting line.
"I AM THE NIGHT!"
...you'd've done the same.

Insert trash related pun here.
I tell you. Can't even take a midday stroll without trouble rolling around.
There I was two days ago, on my way to a train, when I notice the street's empty. And guess who's on the opposite side? I cut and run into the only open place...The junkyard.
We're talking major duty junkyard here. Scraps of steel, mounds of broken electronics, the whole nine yards. It was practically from out of a movie. I start making my way through, when I run into a clearing and Obstruction slides off a pile in front of me. To the left, Shift phases through. And behind me, Jade comes out from hiding.
They all charge me at once. I ducked around Shift's knife and punched him in the stomach, winding him. I kicked him towards Obstruction, who...just swatted him aside. Projectiles that aren't sharp or bullets don't really do much against him.
I jumped away from Jade's cleaver and ran up a pile of junk. Grabbing a piece of metal, I threw it down at Jade. Didn't do too much, she just ducked. I kept pelting her with shit from the pile as I ran up it but she's quick, like her boss- dodged it all.
I reached the top and starting sliding down the other side. Suddenly, Shift phased through the pile and tackled me, sending us both tumbling down to the ground. I gave him an elbow to the face and a shove, but Jade was on me before I could get up and held me to the ground, grinning like a maniac.
I growled and tried to kick her, but she just forced my leg down with hers. "Sweet Knight, that won't do you aaany good at all.."
I blinked. "...okay, WHAT did you just call me?"
"You're the savior to the damsels in need, of course. The Princess, the Lily, the Seer..." I looked into her eyes...And the look she was giving me made me feel chilled to the bone. It was pure insanity, nothing else to call it.
"Oh, but the Lily doesn't need your help...the Princess has accepted the dragon, and the Seer has died at the evil knight's hands...But it's okay, sir Knight...I can be your damsel."
And then she leaned down and kissed me. Leveled the cleaver with my wrist, too. This girl...she's fucked up. Majorly.
I cast my eyes around. Obstruction was as emotionless as ever, Shift was looking way, noticeably disgusted. More importantly their eyes weren't on us. Thankfully so, considering that I'd rather as few people witnessed that as possible. And I noticed she'd stopped pinning one of my arms. I pretended to relax into the kiss, and she pressed forward, weapon arm slackening.
I grabbed the cleaver's blunt side and yanked it out of her hand, driving my fingers into her side at the same time. While she was still off her guard I headbutted her and rolled her off me. Scrambling to my feet, I dropped the cleaver and drew the sword.
"That's the most forward I've ever seen anyone be, and I've seen Elaine flirt."
She chuckled weakly. "You still fight it, sirrah. But you'll come around to the idea. To me." Jade got to her feet and pulled out a couple knives. Her teammates came up and together they charged at me. I was able to fend them off and back away by waving the sword at them.
A piece of junk falling from the pile behind us was the only hint I got of the fourth person. Looking behind me, I saw a tall woman in a black hood armed with a long knife. She leaped forward and cut my arm- I just barely deflected the blade with my own away from my heart. Then she pressed forward and attacked, keeping me on the defensive despite my larger weapon.
Now, four on one just isn't my style. And I saw my chance to get away from it. Noticing the pile looking somewhat unsturdy, I dodged one of the new girl's strikes and put myself in the path of Obstruction. Being a predictable fellow, he rushed at me, and I rolled aside. He slammed right through the bottom of the pile, and down came the rain of junk. I didn't stop to look at the results, but bolted. It slowed them down enough that I made it out with no further incident.
So yeah. I'm in a safe place now. I've made a few trips back to the junkyard and there's some amazing stuff there. Tools, intact metal...makes me wish I'd taken more than amateur engineering classes. I've got an idea for a gadget of sorts...kind of crazy, but it might just work. the Killdozer did, right?
Still sort of shaken up from the fight...mostly from Jade. Goddamn it, why is it getting kissed by a girl disturbs me more than friggin' knife wounds? I have a serious problem.
You know, besides the being stalked by a gang of idiots who would be too lame for minions in the DC Animated Universe.

On the road again
Where to? Not sure yet.
Lia and I went our separate ways a few days ago. For the simple reason that Slenderman seems a lot more interested in me than her. Oh geez was she not happy about it. Honestly, she's such a sweetheart. But I'm tough to argue with when I'm determined to do something. This is for the best.
It's been...a quiet week. No Rhodes, no Slenderman. Actually, a couple of low grade proxies showed up outside my hotel room a few days ago. I called the cops and they had em in a couple minutes. Stupid assholes. Did they seriously forget the police exist or something? Or that I considered this battle a matter of honor?
Fuck honor. Honor leaves you face down in the mud, bleeding out. If you have an advantage, use it. That's a basic rule of strategy. The only line I won't cross is killing. It's wrong no matter the circumstance, I still firmly believe that. I've got other plans for Rhodes, believe you me.
This was really just to check in...Not much is going on. I'll report back if anything DOES happen.

It's been a big day for gender equality
In case my last post confused anyone...Slenderman showed up at Lia's place. We tried to escape, but...Rhodes cut the wires to Dysis' car, and we were trapped in between them. There was only one way they'd get out, and I took it. I offered myself to the damn twig so he'd leave them in peace. Fortunately he took that deal. And I spent two days as his captive.
If you were wondering...yeah. That last post? He was Hallowing me. Or trying. I don't quite know how to describe it...but it was horrible. Like there was an alien force in your body, trying to empty you, to make you a shell, remove YOURSELF from the equation. I understand why Morningstar was so fucked up, I mean, how many times did they do this to him?
At any rate, I guess killing me wasn't enough. He wanted me to be his servant. The only problem was this Hallowing stuff didn't take with me. Yeah, it hurt...but pain is no longer a good motivator for me. And I kept my eye on the goal. The sword. I focused on it in my head, kept it clear in my mind, and that gave me a constant reminder of my purpose, and by that, who I am. If that bastard can get frustrated I'm almost certain he was. He tried more than once, I've sort of lost track. Intense mental torture tends to impede my mathematical judgement, it's a quirk I have.
I wasn't really awake for most of these two days. I slipped in and out. And this one time when I slipped back in, I heard voices. Shouting. Confusion. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted Lia entering the room. Then I realized I should probably take stock of where I was at all. I was sitting in a chair, with my arms tied around the back to it. Some kind of warehouse? I never got a good look, I was pretending to still be out.
They'd clearly underestimated me- weak-ass knot, that was. I had it undone in a couple of minutes. Suddenly Slendy stepped away from me and looked towards Lia. And the big proxy he'd brought with him took a step towards me, knife raised.
I was too drowsy to dodge. There wasn't really any other choice. As he stabbed forward I reached out my hand and impaled the knife onto it, then yanked it out of his hand and punched him square in the jaw. While he stumbled back I pulled it out, grabbed my chair, and hit him over the head with it, once, twice, three times. I saw Lia coming towards me and we grabbed each other. I gave Slenderman a grin and a nonchalant wave before Pathing out for a brief second.
We re-entered our world right outside the warehouse, and unfortunately I lost consciousness again there.
But hey, I'm back in action, and...kinda no worse for the wear? A little?
Thanks for the save, Lia. I owe you.

existence
names, names, they're all the same. Without meaning. Without substance. What defines a man is not his name but his actions.
june or konaa? does it matter?
is there any point to this
rebelling against something greater than life itself
what hope can be found in a hopeless world?
rgsj
fuckyou
is there any reason for our existence? are we cattle, bred to be slaughtered?
nothiswontbreakme
iamme
youwonttakethatfromme
iknowwhoiamandthatismystrength
it hurts, but...I'm used to it by now.
why not be like everyone else
why not stop thinking
He wants to think for me
I'm no good at saving people anyway, why fight the inevitable?
diefighting
diebeforeservinghim
it's not
noshutthefuckup
but it's meaningless, no matter how hard I try
youtried and that is what matters.
To fight to the end- that was my vow. And I will keep it.
Death before dishonor.

Alright alright I'm up
just a quick fun fact. On my way to Hylo's, I started bleeding. I couldn't even tell from where. It was freaky as all hell, too, and when I reached her place I was pretty much passed out.
But uh yeah, I'm up and back to normal. Weird but not life-threatening.
Now piss off internet, I'm trying to watch anime with my girlfriend.
