47-Not a medium, more like a large ham

[He is standing proudly in front of the camera as he does nearly every time he makes a post. He does look a little less arrogant today, but still full of pride.]

Citizens, I feel that it has been some time since the infestation of the harpies, and yet there is still a lingering threat in the air. It may just be another of their curses, but I am feeling a bit different today. I would not claim to not feel myself, because I am now, and always will be me. Captain Hammer. Superhero.

[As he continues on, a fly buzzes lazily near the top of the video feed, and even it looks bored and unimpressed.]

However, I feel a general uneasiness. I feel it getting closer and closer, until it's so close that I could grab it. [At the word, he snatches the fly from the air. He grins into the camera dramatically, but then he looks down at the floor and nearly jumps back.]

What are you? [He remembers himself for a moment and straightens up.] And what are you doing in my house!? [He reaches over, his eyes betraying his disgust, and turns off the video.]

Ah. No. If you chose to, you could guide souls to the afterlife with the help of the guides that you see. Like Ketrak, the spider, you see there.

Ketrak. [Why does it have a name, why? This is starting to remind him of the time he had to deal with Man Tis.

He had not been an exceptionally clever adversary.] However, in a City where none die, there really isn't anything for me to do with them, then. [He begins to raise the flyswatter again.]

[antimonycarver.livejournal.com]

I do not think that that would be wise. They have purposes -- if not here, than elsewhere. And I do not think the flyswatter would do the trick.

Just. Let them do their part, and they'll leave you alone.

<sub>[She looks in the direction that she assumes Ketrak to be. She can feel a bit of disgust rising in her throat, but she manages to keep face. She looks back at the man. He has a large presence. And she pities him for that.]

[ooc; sorry annie is so humourless. ;____;]</sub>

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

I see. So it does leave eventually?

[OoC: I'm sorry that Hammer's such a dick! Annie's great.]

[antimonycarver.livejournal.com]

Yes it will leave. And so will your powers I hope -- for me and for the rest of the world.

_{[ooc; PFFT if he weren't a dick I'd be disappointed.]}

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

It's watching me. Ah, but that's right! Are you having any trouble adjusting to your newfound strength? Aside from the moving in.

[OoC: I love Annie's blunt way of approaching things. Also, the most recent page of GK? I was just reading the Discworld book about golems, and in the last panel, there's Hebrew! Emet, meaning Truth.]

_{[She looks down at her tiny frame.]}

Not particularly. It's a rather simple power, isn't it? I mean, super-strength is practically a staple; almost a pre-requisite for other powers.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Simple. [He doesn't like that, not at all. He's getting more distrustful of her as this conversation goes on.] What was your name, again?

[antimonycarver.livejournal.com]

Antimony, sir.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

I am Captain Hammer. It's a pleasure to meet you, Antimony. That's quite an unusual name.

[antimonycarver.livejournal.com]

I've heard that before.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Where did it originate from?
