brockton bay, meet glam

[mxglam]

It's the anniversary. Glam would very much not like to celebrate.

It’s their last day on Winslow High - they’re being transferred to Arcadia on Monday - and also their last day without a patrol schedule assigned.

And the PRT released a small announcement on its website about Glam joining the Wards. Now their wiki page doesn’t get erased, of course - they’re no longer speculative. They wonder what it’s got on them.

Boot's steel-toed boot is dented. "Ow, fuck, Glam -" The blast catches him and he lands on the goo and skids.

[mxglam]

"Roll with it, use your momentum and take the Blaster down, the other two can't hurt you! Use what the Tinker gives you!"

The three act as if they hadn't heard anything, which is only fair. The Breaker starts moving again, and the Tinker starts turning dials on their gun, while the Blaster lets go and uses their blast to soften their fall and start leaping towards Boots.

[alicornucopia]

"I THINK YOU FUCKING BROKE MY TOE GLAM."

[msglam]

The three disappear, as well as the goo and other objects. "Oh fuck," she says, flying to him.

[alicornucopia]

Boots wrestles his dented shoe off. "I can kick shit I shouldn't be able to kick but not like that!"

[msglam]

"Sorry! I didn't expect it to be that bad! Is it broken? Should we go to the infirmary?"

[alicornucopia]

"I don't know how to tell the difference but it's damn sure not in working order!" says Boots, ripping his sock off and looking at his purpling little toe. "Fuck, I dunno how I'm gonna explain that if I have a fucking limp!"

[msglam]

"Um, training accident? I mean, it's true."

[alicornucopia]

"No, I mean like." Pause. "At school and stuff."

[msglam]

"Oh. Banged your pinky against a door real hard? Tripped on something?"

[alicornucopia]

"I guess that'll have to do," he grumbles.

[msglam]

"Sorry," she repeats. "We should probably go to the infirmary though."

[alicornucopia]

"Mmhm."

Boots hops. It's kind of impressive, actually.

[msglam]

She is suitably impressed!

"Want help?"

[alicornucopia]

"No."

[msglam]

Okaaaay.

She goes with him.

[alicornucopia]

Hop hop hop. Boots presents his foot at the infirmary. They tape it up.

At more or less the same time, a girl in a black costume with white rewind arrows on it walks into the main tourist entrance, casual as all that.

"I'd like to turn myself in," she says very loudly in the middle of the hall as PRT officers start to react.

[alicornucopia]

The receptionist blinks. "I... I see," she says. "I'll just - who shall I say is here?"

[peterxy]

"Rewind."

The PRT officers quickly stand between her and the tourists, and the one in charge of the squad radios someone higher up about the situation.

[alicornucopia]

And an alert goes up that anyone who is not particularly disadvantaged at dealing with Rewind in particular should report to where she's at, Lorica should take point for her immunity, and everyone should be in costume or at least mask.

Boots, being particularly disadvantaged at dealing with Rewind in particular, puts his mask on and otherwise stays put.

[mxglam]

Glam reports.

Rewind is waiting patiently.

[thinkering]

Lorica goes up to her, a couple of bots hovering overhead. "What are you turning yourself in for?"

[peterxy]

That gives her pause. "Being a villain?" she tries. "Er, I guess I stole some stuff but you guys didn't hear about it probably."

[thinkering]

"Hadn't come up. Why are you turning yourself in?"
