[CLOSED]

Who: Eusine, Miko and (eventually) Neku
Where: makin' my way downtown
When: a DRAMATIC, DANGEROUS NIGHT full of TERROR aka March 11 probably
What: The Mysticalman and Miko are both investigating the cyborg situation. Neku gets caught up in the excitement and by excitement I mean everyone but Eusine gets their ass kidnapped because we can't have nice things.
Warnings: evil cyborgs and people with a fondness for reckless self-endangerment


When confronted with the threat of hideous mutant beasts, a reasonable man might barricade himself at home, find reassurance with a group of friends, or perhaps even try to figure out where he put his blasted shotgun since last time the aliens invaded. What a reasonable man most certainly would not do, however, is run right into the middle of the fray out of sheer unbridled curiosity despite having powers that roughly have the destructive power of a wet fart.

It will come to absolutely no one's surprise that Eusine is not a Reasonable Man.

He had noticed the odd increase in pet disappearances those past few months (when you spend as much time looking for magical beasts as he does, you tend to end up in strange corners of the internet,) but he'd chalked them up to the work of some kind of carnivorous mythical creature. Nothing could possibly have prepared him for... this. "Mutant cyborg" seems too nice a description, really. These things are messed up.

When he spots a particularly nasty snoutless dog-machine hybrid, he decides to investigate more closely, grim curiosity stronger than the feeling of revulsion brewing in the pit of his stomach. He lands in a nearby alley, just around the corner; you can't exactly take a good look at something when you're zipping past with rocket shoes, and no one will say the Mysticalman is not thorough. When he's confident he's found a clever hiding spot (behind a mangled, upturned trashbin - whatever happened here?) he opens a compartment on his left gauntlet, taking out what appears to be a small pair of opera binoculars, and begins spying on the unsuspecting monster.

There's no way anyone - or anything - can spot him, really. Men in bright spandex and capes are notoriously inconspicuous.

"Dude! Do you mind?!"

As it turns out Eusine is not the only one around here with no sense of self-preservation and a really odd idea of what makes a good hiding place.

Miko, already crouched in the alley, was first alarmed, and then annoyed when some guy with rocket boots abruptly landed in front of her, obstructing her view of the gross dog-robot-thing she had been taking pictures of.

Now she reaches out to grab at his shoulder, scowling. "If you wanna get a better look, then find your own hiding place, got it?" Okay, it may be a bit late for that, and this guy might be a superhero if the weird clothes are anything to go by, but he sure isn't anyone she's heard of and she's not backing down now dammit.
