Aisling Caroll has posed:
    It had been a few days since the whole debacle with the Friends of Humanity March, Protest, rally full of bigots. Whatever one wants to call it. The point being, is that nearly a week ago Graydon Creed got up on his stage and said, /We want to make mUtants have insurance for just being mutants/ and then everything went to tell. Complete with one of his guards, manifesting his powers. It would have very likely been all over the news as well, but that's here nor there.

    Now, today, several people have decided that their best course of action is to come to mutant town, and make a problem, for all the mutants here.

    One such indiviual, a gruffy looking man, is yelling at people about a red haired green and blue eyed woman.

    "Where the hell is that bitch that was on the stage! I saw her! You can't tell me I didn't!" Much like is normally the case with these men, and his group of little buddies, is that he's yelling this at a mutant that looks no older than 19.

    "I... Who? I don't know!" says the teenage mutant girl.

    To her credit though, Aisling is not about to let this last any longer than it already has. "That, bitch, is right here, Boyo." She yells out behind him, Irish lilt out and proud for all to hear.

Glamour has posed:
There are many laws that describe the fundamental features of the universe. The law of gravity, for example, or the second law of thermodynamics, or even the laws proprosed by Einstein in his general theory of relativity. Just as fundamental to the order of the unvierse as those is another law -- at least so far as the tiny little fairy obvserving this mess from a window ledge she's sitting on.

Superheroes help people.

This fundamental constant requires that she intervene -- but only when the time is right. When the proper moment for a dramatic entrance arrives. Fanning her four multicolored wings behind her and sending a plume of glittering dust up around her, Glamour gets to her feet and plants her hands on her hips. She's preparing, you see.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    "You! You were at the Protest! You were on Stage! I saw you!" the big gruff man bleets out as he lets the young mutant go, only for her to run off.

    Aisling steps forward and thumbs over her shoulder at the big clay walking mountain. "Oh, hucko, you really are dense yeah? You think walking in to a town full of mutants, with a pet golem, and spoutin off is gonna go well for you?" She cracks her kunckles and takes another step forward. "You lot don't have powers, I, do. So, you really wanna do this?"

    To his credit, mister man's hate of mutants bigs him up something chronic. "Yeah, I do, plus I got back up" and he motions to the half dozen men behind him.

    "No, what you have, is half a dozen hospital visits and a LOT of medical bills you're going to be paying."

Glamour has posed:
It's enough. And that's why the ...

SUPERHERO LANDING.

Glamour builds up her momentum, a little sparkle of light leaving a trail of glitter in the sky behind her, but when she hits the ground in a classic crouch and psoe, wings fanned out behind her, she's the size of anyone else present. She remains in that pose for a second, thanking her lucky stars she got the timing right because of man splatting into the earth instead of landing proeprly would have just ruined everything. She rises up her feet afterwards, hands on her hips and looking impressive in her sparkly blue unitard of a superhero costume. "I'm supposed to say something witty now, I think, right? But I'll settle for just saying 'do not try my patience today, kids. You should disband! Go home. Surf your incel subreddits or whatever. If you don't, well, I'm totally scary."

...a poof of glitter goes up behind her. It's terrifying, truly, if you know how hard it is to get glitter out of things.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    Well, that's, new. Good gods there's been a whole hell of a lot of new for Ais the last few months. To say she's utterly shocked at that display, is an understatement. Though if she could have twinkling anime eyes, she would do, because that was VERY COOl.
    "You heard the Lady Fellas" Aisling has as she steps foward one more step.

    The leader reaches back behind a jacket like he's about to pull a weapon. "We have guns!" he blurts out and they all move like they're about to draw those weapons.

    "No, what you have are bullets and the hope that I'm dead when you're done. Because if not, you'll be on the ground before you've all reloaded." Really Ais? A V for Vendetta quote?

    One more step...

    "Which, as a note, seeing as you don't have powers and I do, and if you open fire on me my friend there" she thumbs at the winged one, "is going to obliterate you and mister stompy is going to smash you to dust."

Glamour has posed:
"Oh man not a bunch of guns. Kids, I'm clearly a superhero. Bullets aren't going to work on me. You know how you know that? Because I'm standing in front of you in a fuckin' unitard."

Glamour's tone is chiding as she plants her hands on her hips.

"Oh, hey -- obliterate them? Naw. My friend will. All I'll have to do is watch."

Glamour pantomimes drawing a little pentegram in the air which bursts into flames in front of her -- flames through which a great clawed hand begins to emerge.

"...Oh mighty, uh ...balrog! Durin's... Bane! Yeah! That's it," Oh Glamour you shouldn't have watched the Fellowship of the Ring on TV last night, "I call on your mighty flames! Should they open fire, you will drag them to hell like they're played by Allison Lohman!"

She flicks some sparkles off her fingers, staring at them. Please run away now, kids.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    Aisling shoots a sidelong glance at Glam and tries her lever best not to burst out laughing. The look screams, /The Balroc from Lord of the Rings? Really really?/.

    Though, it seems that she's quite the performer though, as they all go white and start stepping backwards. Turns out, it is easy to be all big billy bad ass to a mutant that doesn't seem to have outward powers. Not so much a big clawed demon hand emerging from Fire. That, and think the gods they're to media illiterate and or stupid to get that the other /super/ is calling a demon from a fantasy book series that's REALLY old.

    "I would run boys, because it's me, her, big stompy and being dragged to hell by a demon..." Yeah, she's playing along.

    "We... we..." and before he can get the rest of the words out, his boys are tucking tail and running and he's soon following suit.

    Once they're on the run Ais turns to Glam and just smiles, "Nicely done."

Glamour has posed:
The balrog's claws wiggle and flex from within its portal before disappearing into a rapidly dissipating cluster of sparkles. Of course she didn't really summon a demon.

She layes a finger on the side of her nose and flicks it once as she acknowledges Aisling.

"... well, good enough for me anyway," she chimes in, glancing from side to side. "Welp," she adds, "They're gone, back to cause trouble another day, no doubt. I have no illusions."

And then she starts snickering at how clever she just was.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    Aisling just laughs and steps foward to hold a hand out, "Aisling" she adds, just, putting her name out there. "They call me Paladin around here" she adds, that Irish lilt ever present in her voice. "Thanks for the, hand..." and now they're both realy proud of themselves. Cause ya know, two can be clever, not that she knows that was an illusion.

    "Though, can't say as I've seen you around here and you don't seem like a Mutant at first glance..." she adds still holdling her hand out and smiling from ear to ear.

Glamour has posed:
"Who says I'm not a mutant? I've got wings, don't I? And pointy ears? And have powers!" Glamour's eyes are blue, but they might as well be brown.

"Nice to meet you, Paladin! Where do you roam? Paladin, far from home?"

Okay, she can't help herself with that one. She then lowers her gaze towards the hand, slowly, and stares at it.

Oh. Right. This is a thing.

She reaches out and goes to shake it gingerly. Aislngs hand will come away stained with glitter.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    "Fair point" Aisling replies rather plainly. "That you do indeed."

    She, blinks, several times, "Where do I roam? Oh, well, here, westchester, wherever really." Yeah, no, she didn't get that one and it's pretty obvious. Then, there's glitter, so much glitter. That's, going to take ages to get rid of. "So, you are?" she asks again as she attempts to dust herself off somewhat.

Glamour has posed:
"Glamour! Fairy themed superhero!" She flares up with a little blue nimbus surrounding her. "Not familiar with 'Have Gun Will Travel? Kids today."

She flutters up about a foot into the air, hovering there with her wings beating with the thrum and cadence of a dragonfly.

"I should get going! It was nice meeting you. We'll do it again sometime!" She gives her a quick salute.

Aisling Caroll has posed:
    Aisling returns that with a quick smile and salute of her own in response. "Oh, okay, well, thanks again Glamour! Hope to see you again!" With that said, she'll wave, turn on heel, and head out towards a nearby clinic.
