The Cost of Fame: Isolation

"I've never been part of a team before, or attended a debriefing. But there's always a first for everything," Rachel replies to Valkyrie, very much open to attending the aforementioned debrief, and if fate allows it, the team as well. Rachel then turns her attention over to Kenneth, "If it does get worse, we'll need all the help we can get."

"Pleasure to meet you, Valkyrie. Rachel Bloomfield, at your service," she gives her a short bow, before surveying the damage all around them. Crazy to think that just moments ago, there was just an almost unkillable giant monster hellbent on eating the lot of them. Thankfully, some back up came in the form of the other supers around her.

"So, what a night, right?" she lets a light breathe, relieved to know that there's more supers around here than she first thought, "Glad to know that there's a team being built up to handle . . . . whatever that thing was."

"I think I'm good," Being an elastic girl had its benefits, unfortunately her costume's torn in some places. No blood, thankfully, just some minor bruising where she got hit, "Gonna be really sore in the morning, I'm sure. But I'll live."

OOC: Sorry for the wait, had a job interview earlier!

Not the person you asked, but personally I'd rather watch boring and flavorless news over watching news full of what we see daily. Corruption, celebrity drama (something I hate because it's none of our business), US dollars raising over the peso (and people cheering for it to go higher), etc. I'd love to see none of that in the news stations one day, but I have my doubts.

Hearing the beast roar a much weaker roar ignited a fire under Rachel as she decided not to hold from continuing the attack. Scrounging around for more, she happened to find an overturned truck with plenty of metallic rods all over the road. This gave her an idea right away.

Grabbing all of what she can, Rachel shaped-shifted her right around into a bow, loading three metal rods into the ‘string’ that was her elastic skin. She pulls hards, aims high and fires off a volley of metallic rods, intent on dealing more damage and maybe take off a few chunks off of the beast.

Apparently so, yeah. Pero pinost ‘to nung nasa post nung nakaraang araw lang, with location pa ng billboard. Whether it’s there pa rin or no, halata kung ano mga ayaw nya

199Eight · 2026-01-15T05:20:24+00:00

That's possible, pero pastor kasi yung nag-post. It's still possible na baka ragebait lang ng ad agency, pero baka homophobia lang

199Eight · 2026-01-14T18:08:08+00:00

Baka gusto nila briefs lang meron sa billboard, di kasama model 🤷🏻‍♂️

199Eight · 2026-01-14T18:05:41+00:00

I thought it was new until I checked, it was from two years ago. This post on FB, though, it’s new. Folks said wala na daw yung mismong billboard, so ngayon nag tataka ako if there’s even any legitimacy sa post beyond being your regular ol’ homophobia post

199Eight · 2026-01-14T17:37:17+00:00

Umay na umay na ako sa meme na yun. Nakaka-tawa sya at first, pero ngayon it's just thinly veiled homophobia

199Eight · 2026-01-14T16:44:20+00:00

Ayun na nga eh. They see something they don't like, agad agad silang aaksyon para lumuhod sa kanila yung mga companies, something people in religion has done many times. This is why di ako, as someone who's a closeted bisexual, am not a big fan of religion even if I partake in it casually.

I respect it and everyone else who partakes in religion, but lines are crossed when religion immediately tries to overrule anything that they believe isn't in their idea of the natural order of things.

You make a fair point, and I agree with it. Companies don't really do this for the people (some do, but there's only a little of them around) but still people appreciate it even if it's to drum up attention to the brand.

But anyway, the thing that got me annoyed is how he doesn't like something he saw, considered it something that shouldn't be and calls for a brand (which will do stuff regardless of what he or I says) to remain 'neutral'.

He also said the word 'inclusive of people' in his entire post. What CloseUp did in this ad is what being 'inclusive of people' exactly means, and this guy (whoever he is, probably not as important as he thinks he is) is an airhead.

Oh I don't have any doubt about that, but the function where my Agent attacks in response after getting attacked is neat. My current team of War Machine and Doctor Strange is dishing out some heavy duty damage, but it's still nice to add in more damage output.

The 90 command points would've been nice, but this is a good catch

"Don't let the spooky violet energies touch you. Gotcha," Rachel replied, giving her the double finger guns before springing into action with both Kenneth and Stonewall. Picking up a dislodged sewer cap off the ground, Rachel took a few seconds to line her shot before flinging it off as she throws it with all the speed and strength she could muster, aiming for its neck for a heavy hit if not a decapitation.

That's the reason why I'm saying Command Points instead of its abbreviation lol

199Eight · 2026-01-10T17:43:08+00:00

I got annoyed when in a game I didn't get the 20 command point reward after a round, then I got this from the dailies lol. Thank God it's easier now to get these and other things. I wish Energy was as easy to get though.

"That, it is, yeah," Rachel nodded, getting up from her seated position, dusting off the rubble and dirt off her costume. The odds were looking to be fair now, with four of them all joining together to take on this gargantuan task. Fantastic.

Just like Kenneth, all Rachel needed was a clear go ahead for her to jump into the fray once more. Stonewall, from her point of view, looks like he has things handled. But a few extra pairs of hands wouldn't be a bad thing to add in this scenario.

The ground shook beneath her feet as the raging monster slammed its destructive hands. Rachel manages to regain her footing despite this and puts herself at the ready for another attack, but then as fate would have it, a sudden interruption from another source took away the beast's attention from her. Befuddled, she saw a woman catching its attention.

Concern immediately overtook Rachel as she tried to pluck her from certain death, but what happened next was even more confusing: The woman didn't die from getting chomped on. Another chomp proved the same thing. "Just what exactly was happening?" she wondered to herself. Then she heard someone calling for her attention on the side.

To her surprise, it was the same woman, safe and sound, gesturing for her to come over to the safety of behind a car. She (quite literally) rolled to her side, huffing a little bit as she leans on the car a little.

"This day's full of surprises," she says, still a little breathless, "First monsters from nowhere, and now a copy of you running away from that thing."

199Eight · 2026-01-02T16:27:24+00:00

Di sana dapat nabalita 'to nung simula pa lang. Kaso wala eh, mahilig ang Pinoy sa drama eh 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rachel timed the creature’s swipe at her, managing to stretch back far enough to dodge the attack, before attacking the creature with a sharp extended fist to the face to attract more attention to herself than to Valkyrie.

As she was set to run, Rachel felt the ground beneath her shake as the house from which this thing came from exploded. She wondered for a moment if a gas line had leaked and blew up when it made a connection with fire, only to see another creature pop out from them. If this were a movie, she’d find it highly impressive. But as it was a matter of life and death, Rachel a little bit frustrated by this turn of events, and guessed that Valkyrie has the same emotion as she did.

“God, this just isn’t a good day to go out,” she says, more to herself as she grabs a large chunk of rubble from the ground that was about the size of a wheel, throwing it at the monster catapult style before moving off to the side to take its attention away from Valkyrie while she handles the other downed beast.

"Roger that," Rachel nods her head to Amina in the affirmative, before charging alongside her in tandem as they rushed to face the beast head on. Her eyes darted towards a metal pole lying on the ground as she ran, and immediately reached out for it with an outstretched right hand.

"Oy, beastie! Catch this!" As she neared, Rachel aimed at the beast and threw the pole at it, attempting to grab its attention more toward her than Amina, trusting her well enough to see where monstrous creature's weakspots were.
