Noriko Ashida has posed:
No one looks weirdly at Noriko's gauntlets here.  There's still the small swarm of loose children that seem to think they are the coolest thing ever.  Which is annoying sometimes.  Noriko is using the back streets (if you can call them that) to maneuver her way through the night to her uh, contact.  At this speed, she's not really visible, but her airflow against the elements is.

Once Noriko gets to the proper, though small, alleyway behind a bar, it's a quiet transaction.  When the dealer takes off, Noriko pockets the stash in one of the pockets of her cargo pants.  Then she checks the time.  "Plenty."  She digs back into that pocket and pulls out a gummy bear.

Winslow Schott has posed:
Winslow Percival Schott walked down the streets of Mutant Town, his face etched into a scowl as he made his way through the almost empty streets. The short, slightly chubby man was wearing a blue and purple stripped three piece suit which was topped with a almost comically large black bow tie and a pair of wire-rimmed glasses that seemed to glint in the moonlight. The brown-haired Schott was accompanied by two rough looking goons that Schott had hired just for the occasion that brought him to this part of town in the first place. The first man was a very large, and very burly African American man clad in a black t-shirt and blue jeans with a shaved head. The second was a tall and lanky Caucasian man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts. As he made his way through the street, he sighed rather sadly as he observed the misery around him and almost let out a tear as he thought to himself,

"This is a dreadful environment for a child to grow up in. If only I could help."

This thought was quickly submerged however by a new, and much more sinister agenda, the death of Jack Nimball. Jack Nimball, of course, was the bloody impersonator who stole his name while Schott was retired in Bermuda. This imposter's MO was very crude, and his toys poorly made. But, they were enough to cause serious damage, and endanger the lives of many, including a bus full of children that he held hostage. This news incensed Schott. That scum threaten children, something that the "real" Toyman would never do and for that, he must die." He had finally managed to track the impersonator to Bushwick, where he had been hiding from the police for the past year.

As Schott approached the little hovel Nimball lived in, he turned to his goons and said to them,

"You chaps remember what to do i assume?"

The two men nodded rather enthusiastically and rushed the house, followed by Schott. Soon, cries of pain and yells for help filled the air.

Johnny Gallo has posed:
Johnny Gallo was out patroling through town. Dressed in his silver spider outfit, complete with jacket, and mask that let his silver hair fly free, he was fairly easy to spot most times. The metalic blur rocketed through the sky as he looked out down below for anything that might need his attention.

Seeing a young woman going into a seedy looking alley, he watched Noriko's exchange from overhead. He was just about to go chase down the suspected 'drug dealer' when he saw that she actually had gummy bears instead, and laughed it off from the roof of the building his legs were dangling from. "Ha.. Nice. Oh yeah, Spidey Prime... I busted this dude... I thought he was pushing drugs, but he's really just a candyman... That'd go over real well, Silver!" He laughed and joked to himself, missing the first few cries of pain and yells for help coming from down the block.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
It takes awhile to roll a joint, but it only takes so long for Nori because with her shaky hands, she keeps screwing it up.  "Finnally."  She grins and licks the edge of the paper before folding it over and twisting off the end a little.  Johnny might hear the flick of a lighter wheel as Noriko lights up the joint.  But then there are screams.

Noriko looks down her alley toward the residence that the Toyman is so diligently invading.  She takes a hit and then wanders down that way.  A quick look each way and she darts at high speed to suddenly stand still next to the front door, listening as electricity starts to ripple down her neck, across her shoulders, and down into her her gauntlets where it pools in her fists.

And then Noriko goes in.

Winslow Schott has posed:
As Noriko goes into the home, she would see Schott and his two cronies standing in the hall, and a fourth man lying prone on the ground. The man on the ground appeared to be wounded, as evidenced from the blood pouring out from the top of his head, and was currently being held down by the two cronies, while the rather comical looking Schott glared over him. Schott then scowled angrily as he said with a British accent,

"So, you thought you could use the Toyman name and get away with it, eh Nimball? Well, you are wrong, and I will make sure that you pay for what you did while using my name!"

With that, Schott pulls out a remote control and eagerly presses a button on it. Suddenly, a beeping noise was heard as a toy robot holding a laser gun emerged from what appeared to be Nimball's bedroom and made it's way towards Nimball. The toy may look harmless to you but to Nimball, it seemed to be a omen of death. Nimball immediately began screaming even more and struggling agains the two goons who were holding him down.

Johnny Gallo has posed:
Johnny Gallo saw the girl start to walk off, and then watched as she super speeded down the way. "Wooah..." He grinned, "Cool." He hopped from his rooftop perch, and bounced when he hit the ground, ricocheting to rocket down the alley, landing at the door. He glanced around for just a second, and heard Winslow's spiel.

"Woah woah woah... You nicked his name?... Toyman? That's the best either of you could come up with?... Hardly a handle to go off the handle about!" He pulled a disc from his jacket, "Play nice. You've got no Unicorns or Lions here this time..."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
The sudden voice in Noriko's ear causes her to shake her head.  "Who the hell are you?"  The words are more caustic than her tone, though it is still gritty.  "Close your eyes," she says softly and lifts her hands to burst of light before she blips forward and pauses at one of the goons to tap tap him on the shoulder, with a lot of volts of electricity.

"Toymaker is way better, and it isn't even that good," Noriko says as she shuffles backwards and twists into some sort of awkward roll.  Her gauntlets clank against the floor.  They squeak a little.

Winslow Schott has posed:
Toyman and his cronies only have time to turn around before they are suddenly greeted by Silver Spider and are blinded by a burst of light. As Noriko taps the man's shoulder, he lets out a rather nasty sounding scream as he collapses onto the ground, convulsing. Schott surprisingly recovers from the blast rather quickly and scowls at the sight of Silver. He pulls out his remote control again and presses two more buttons on it while saying,

"Blast, it's you again! Why can't you mind your own business and let me handle this imposter!"

As he says this, five more toy robots with laser guns march in, pointing their guns at the heroes. Toyman than looks at Noriko and says,

"Young lady. I recommend that you leave before you hurt yourself."

Johnny Gallo has posed:
Johnny Gallo felt the tingle of his danger sense and did like Noriko told him, covering his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket. After the burst, he grinned, "Toymaker isn't bad... Maybe... Hm... You know, theres like this really old band, Metalica. They're pretty cool, and one of their songs is like Master of Puppets. That'd be a cool one!" He mused as he sent the disc flying to take out the first of the toy soldiers to keep Nimball from being perferated.

Closer at hand, he prepared to dodge, but gave a tip of his head to Noriko, "Names Silver Spider. A pleasure. You come around here often? Where'd you get the gloves, make'em yourself? I've been debating on following OG Prime and going the gimmick wrist bit, but, no dice yet..."
