#he swooped in all like

[dannysdcxdpblog]

The only reason Dash had been captured was because he wasn't paying attention. Which was stupid. He knew he needed to always be on guard. But it was his anniversary! And he needed to make sure everything was perfect! He sat on the bank's floor, trying to figure out an escape plan with as little hostage damage as possible. The bank was small, obviously for the Gothamites living in the run-down part of town. It was right on the edge of Crime Alley but still close enough to the uppity part of Gotham for a few socialites to use it.

There weren't many doors or rooms in the building. It was the main one where the transactions and managing happened, then the back room where safes and money were stored. Dash spotted a few others from his hometown sprinkled into the crowd. Suddenly he felt his stomach drop. He knew that his presence alone could cause a bit of paranoia to strike up, but multiple Parkers in a small room? That was a surefire way to make the criminals a little trigger-happy. He could see on everyone's faces as they realized the true danger of the situation.

Dash really needed to get everyone out now. One of the guys was pacing in front of Dash's group. "Are you sure no one's gonna try to kill us?" He said, eyes darting between every window and door. This pulled multiple groans from his accomplices.

"We're fine! Once we get the shit, we go. No reason for us to get caught." Dash could see he had his finger on his trigger. He probably was also feeling slightly paranoid, standing right next to Mikey. The redhead visibly tenses. He glances around trying to catch the eye of any of the other Parkers. It's not hard, they're all looking at him already. Suddenly there's a shuffling sound, breaking the silence.

Then a gunshot.

Whimpers and cries break out as the hostages duck down, mothers shielding their kids. Someone starts sobbing. The perp that was standing beside Mikey held his smoking gun up, aimed in the general direction of the previous sound. Obviously, he hadn't aimed so it just resulted in a bullet hole in the wall well above the patrons. Dash sighed in relief.

"Hey, can I get some water?" He speaks up. It's a good way to get them to take their focus away from everyone.

"Why the fuck would we do that?" The one who just let off a shot is now pointing the gun at him.

He holds up his hands slowly. "I'm diabetic and I can feel my blood sugar rising too high. If I don't get it down, I'll crash and die. Then you won't be able to leave without being arrested for robbery and murder." He says calmly. It's a lie, his blood sugar is fine but he needs to get them away from the hostages and away from the ambient energy radiating off the Parkers.

The guys share a look before he lowers his gun and motions for Dash to follow. Dash gets up slowly and carefully, not wanting to get himself shot. He keeps his hands up as the guy leads them over to an employee. The employee brings them to the safe room that doubles as a break room. The employee is allowed to go back.

Dash gets some water and carefully sits in a chair. He makes sure to drink the water slowly and keep his moves as slow as possible. "Why this bank?" He asks.

A grunt responds. OK, so no small talk. He drops his water resulting in the gun being pointed in his face again. His hands shoot up. "Sorry, must be higher than I thought. I'm really not feeling well." He sways carefully in his seat. He can sense another Parker close by that isn't in the building, that isn't just Liminal. He senses Danny. He continues to successfully distract the man before he's left panicking. There's sirens and their close.

Dash is the hostage he grabs and uses as leverage. Dash fights back his groan when he's brought to stand in front of the glass doors. He really didn't like this. He just wanted to get some cash to spend at the arcade! Was that so hard to ask for?! He spots Danny in the surrounding crowd before he spots Batman in the shadows.

"Let the hostages go!" He hears the chief shouting.

"Fuck off!"

It goes like that for an hour before Dash decides to be dramatic. He had been swaying and trying to play up the not feeling well card, so now was his time to act.

He dead weights.

This throws the perp off. He falls with Dash, the gun falling out of his hand in his shock. This seems to be enough of a disorientation tactic for the cops to come barging in. He vaguely registers being surrounded by paramedics. Once he's sure the guys are cuffed, he sits up. This alarms the medics.

"Sir, you need to stay down. We don't know what's wrong but you need to take it easy." One says.

"I'm fine, just got tired of waiting." He shrugs. He registers yelling in the background before he's got a lap full of Danny.

"You idiot! That can only work so many times! You could've gotten shot!" He smacks him in the chest. Dash just laughs.

"I'm fine. And so are the other hostages. They didn't physically hurt anyone. Magic of being a diabetic!" He raises his medical bracelet. The paramedics aren't having any of it and still cart him off to an ambulance. They check his vitals and his blood sugar, and make sure he doesn't have a concussion before skeptically sending him on his way.

As Dash is about to begin his journey to his car, he has an armful of redhead nerd. Mikey is clinging to him. "Thanks, Dash." He says before pulling away and scurrying off. Dash smiles as he waves.

Amity Parkers have to stick together anyway.

Short DPXDC Prompts #1033

The ominous aura that all Amity Parkers emit can cause some issues when they move out of town. It hasn’t been looked into thoroughly but most believe it’s from ectoplasm exposure. This can lead to some unfortunate circumstances. For instance: being held hostage by a supervillain who is now incredibly paranoid and antsy from being in close quarters with the Amity Parker. A paranoid evil person with a weapon is never a good thing.

thinking about how if Eddie was cornered for a fight he’d probably play to his strengths and try to freak out his attackers by bouncing around like old timey boxers, looking like a kangaroo and punching the air while saying ‘oh you wanna go??? You wanna go??? Well let me tell you! There’s going to be three hits!!! Me hitting you, you hitting the floor and the ambulance hitting 80 when it takes you to the hospital. That’s right. The old left, right, goodnight. The ol’ razzle dazzle!’

And the guys just…leave? Because what is this guy doing? And why is he moving like that?

Eddie munson: 1, bullies: 42. Things are finally looking up.

What Eddie doesn’t know is that Steve Harrington was standing just off to the side and waved the bullies on when he saw it all kick off. Not wanting to interrupt Eddie’s…technique…he did what he could without raising suspicions

laios and kabru being very explicit narrative and character foils of each other means you're primed to expect some extent of honesty and candor from laios at every turn throughout, even if it's to negative effect, while your impression of kabru means you expect his every action and word to bely ulterior motive or manipulation, even if it's out of good intentions. and how thoroughly this is subverted in the end, when kabru is forced by pressure and circumstance into painfully, awkwardly honest confession and conduct, forced to stand back and spectate instead of trying to pull strings and control. and laios rises up out of nowhere with an underhanded scheme so shocking and thorough it tricks everyone, and suspends them into inaction and speechless disbelief, clearing his path to the throne. i just think it's neat how they're foils and opposites until they embody each other's core traits at some of their most pivotal developmental moments

I feel like if you recognise Milil that you're about to get courted by a god shortly after that party. As a worshipper, mainly, though Milil is also known for being a flirt, so the usual sense of the word could certainly happen.

Faded gods need worshippers - especially powerful ones with fame and connections. Do you need a display of all the things he can do for you if you send him a prayer once a day? He made his high priest immortal or something like it once, if that sweetens the deal any! Please, he's dying, and bored, and lonely, and so bored.

what makes me laugh so hard about the joker 'dilemma' of whether he should be killed or not is that... I don't think a single person in Gotham besides Bruce would be even bothered if some gothamite woke up one day and killed the clown on a street corner. they might even throw a party.

and yet this is the issue that tore him and Jason's relationship off it's fuckin hinges

strongly believe that those few lines in kiwami 2 where majima hits on kaoru while half-dead in the street were literally just put there to try (and fail) to negate how fucking gay it looks when kiryu cradles a bloody badly-injured majima in his arms as majima tells him that he basically just fought an entire army of yakuza singlehandedly for kiryu and kiryu alone, fully aware that doing so would almost definitely be the death of him. but you know. whatever

You know what? Everyone always asks "What the hell was Edgeworth doing between 2-3 and 2-4?! He landed in Japanafornia and then Didn't say hi to Franziska or Wright for THREE MONTHS."

And I hear you. But the games have already answered us. He hung up the phone with Gumshoe and was IMMEDIATELY pulled into a 3 month long murder case.

AAI starts at 3am on March 12 and the man doesn't get a break until 4:33 PM on March 17. Five days of straight casework. But don't worry, as soon as he's done getting that concussion checked out and the paperwork sorted for arresting a foreign ambassador-

AAI2 starts back up again! 25th-27 we have two cases. And its all resolved April 4-6th. That's almost a whole week off! Plenty of time to fill out the paperwork for... Dealing with a failed assassination attempt of a foreign president. No ones going to want to hold him for lengthy and drawn out questioning. Or overthrowing a corrupt Chief prosecutor and an entire illegal smuggling ring. Cleaning that up takes 30 minutes TOPS.

Edgeworth stepped off that plane in December after 2-3 and that man didn't sit his ass down until he loaded Franziska in the ambulance in 2-4. It's not that he's an emotionally stunted dingbat who refused to go see his loved ones until he could potentially offer them aid on a case thus proving his worth and continued existence!

HE WAS JUST BUSY. BEING THE BIGGEST MURDER MAGNET SINCE DETECTIVE CONAN!

Definitely that and not the other thing.

I was pouring a promised libation out to Hermes, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Dionysus this afternoon (I'd asked them for help with a personal matter involving a sibling) and as I was looking up at the sky talking about the situation I saw three hawks start to circle something a little ways in the distance. Hawks aren't exactly uncommon here but it had been a while since I'd seen any, let alone three at once, so it caught my attention.

And while I was trying to figure out what type of bird they were (not an eagle, too short a neck to be a vulture, etc) one of them swooped down into a neighbor's backyard and back up along the tree in my backyard, close enough that, if a branch weren't in the way, I would have been able to see its feather markings. While hawks were somewhat usual, experiencing that certainly was not. So, of course, when I got inside I looked up if any Greek gods are associated with hawks.

And, of course, Apollo is.

I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "this is just a Thing That Happens" and a sign so it was nice to see a direct example of how something differs when it's coming from a god.

you know, I actually headcanon that Arven doesn't take very good care of his hair at all. He's a stressed outdoorsey boy, he lives and dies by the dry shampoo, and when he does give it a proper wash, it's Head and Shoulders 2-in-1 time babyyyy.

"But Psychrozen," you cry out, sharpening your axe, "his hair is beautiful!" Correct! His hair IS beautiful!

so imagine how much MORE beautiful it could be if he took proper care of it...

No talking bc I’m literally unable to 😭 Do not listen if you can't stand harsh coughing because it gets a bit rough. If it sounds a bit weird the first half of the recording is from yesterday and the second half is from today, bc the coughing is so much worse in the second half lmao. Ok that's it thankkk you for feeding me so good lately tumblr love u all <3
