Prancing

do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often

Sketch comms from yesterday, for jakoto.bsky.social, @zentok, and @piximae!

Another Session cleared for the personnel of the Frostbite Contingent and Bloodcrest Family; catching up on two events separated by large server events and time. The Bloodcrest Family, lead by Ammaelin Bloodcrest seeking to redeem their name politically and ethically due to the evil doings of his now disowned brother, Dinthoqaf the Defiler, has been attacked by the Sanctum of the Forbidden due to its associations with the Frostbite Contingent. In an effort to destabilize the House further and to make sure support was pulled, a plethora of SotF Cultists lead by Lattimer the Devourer assaulted the compound and nearly wiped the House off the slate if it had not been for the timely arrival of the Contingent.  Initially leading the charge, Attzi ( @attzi-gearburst ), Kappi, ( @advancedscoutkappi ), Zokkine ( @piximae​ ), and Naturasu, came to the rescue of the estate and inhabitants as Ammaelin found himself going Head to Head against Lattimer. With quick work and precision, most of the estate was cleared but during the FBC’s confrontation and reinforcement of Ammaelin the cultists managed to secure one of the support structures that houses a particular treasure for the family, a font of power believed capable of healing miracles. Lattimer was defeated and forced to retreat, going to the captured structure where Elementium was magically summoned to taint the building and reinforce it, causing the FBC and Bloodcrests to call it here as they sought out solutions to the problem at hand. Time given way, the FBC and Ammaelin settled on the use of explosives to open the tower. With the decision made, a second gathering occurs with Ammaelin, Attzi, Zokkine, Kappi, Naturasu, Makosubi, and Dave ( @x-amanita-virosa-x ) where the building was blown open just to discover that the cultists within had already been killed and the Font within was being tainted by a Totem placed by them before their death. The team, in an effort to cleanse the place, enters only to discover Lattimer lying in wait amongst the dead, ambushing them! After a lengthy and dangerous melee with the The Devourer, he was defeated and the totem destroyed. Ammaelin now sets to discover the purpose of the act and everything the totem was doing while trying to make sure the Font is cleansed and can provide its healing waters for any pilgrims who come seeking it. The FBC now awaits anxiously to see if this news brings them any closer in rescuing their boss.

Metroman was the “gifted child”, always pushed into an ideology that they must be perfect, iconic. When Metroman reached his peak, he felt that “ideal life” was too much and it slowly became a burden to him as he never got the opportunity to follow the life he wanted in the first place in order to pursue the life others wanted for him.

Megamind was raised in a place with wrong influences and was isolated from the very beginning being held as another prisoner just because he looked different. Him becoming “a villain” came from him believing he was one because of the way people treated him by bullying him and labelling him, never given a chance to grow properly.

Roxanne is the person everyone saw as the “damsel in distress”, yet when all seemed lost, unlike the rest of the citizens of Metrocity, she was the only person trying to find a way to change things. She never stopped looking for clues and possible solutions in order to fight back, to stand up for herself and for the rest of the city.

Hal Stewart, aka Titan/Tighten, is the person you thought you knew, the kind of person you have interacted on a daily basis, an ordinary person, the one you never imagined could become such a dangerous threat when suddenly given power and when they don’t get what they thought they deserved just because they were “nice”.

Minion is the love and support we all deserve.
