[X] Call in sick.
-[X] Go to a friend's house.


Can our stand do the Dio trick of freezing a person and then shattering them.

Oh and if we can get humans to or above 50 degrees celcius they would get burns and mental hallucinations.

    -[X] Go to a friend's house.

    Alex gingerly reaches for her phone, sighing in relief when nothing jumps out at her from it. You sit next to her as she dials a number. "Hey, Kevin, I'm not feeling well right now. Can you cover for me today? Yeah, just feeling under the weather. You will? Thank you."

    She sighs, and hangs up. You lick her face, and she turns to her phone again, dialing another number. "Hey, Maria, you there?"

    You perk up and start listening closely. You like Maria. She always gives you treats when Alex isn't looking.

    "Yeah, I'm here Alex. What's up?" Maria answers. In the background you can hear frantic clicking.

    "Mind if I come over? Something happened at my house and I don't feel safe here."

    The clicking stops. "Are you okay?"

    "Not... not really. It's been a scary morning."

    You hear movement on the other end. "I'm coming to pick you up. I'll be there in 5. Got it?"

    "Yeah. Thanks." She hangs up, and hugs you again. "Oh Bytor, what are we going to do?"

    You nuzzle her and give her a few more licks. Snow Dog stands protectively over both of you.

    You turn away from her as you hear a car pull up. Someone knocks on the door. "Alex, you there?"

    "It's open." Alex answers.

    The door opens and Maria, a short woman with messy black hair and pale skin steps in. She stops, looking at the crack in the wall where Chariot slammed Snow Dog and the broken chain lock. "Woah. What happened?"

    Alex shakes her head. "I'm not sure. Two people, they called themselves Cory and Toni. They came to the door and started trying to shake us down for this." Alex shows her the arrow. "They wouldn't take no for an answer, and... you won't believe me on this part, but they used some kind of Psychic or magic power to force the door open and attack. Bytor managed to scare them off though."

    Maria nods her head slowly. "Psychic... powers?"

    What do you do?

    Snow Dog nuzzles Maria with its nose, and she jumps back as your Stand's nose touches her chest. "What was that?"

    Snow Dog rubs against her head, and she starts feeling it. "Invisible, metal.... dog?"

    Alex chuckles and nods. "That's how Bytor drove them off. It's some kind of... mental projection? They called it a Stand."

    "Stands? So all of them are like this?" Maria says, feeling Snow Dog. You present Snow Dog's ear to her, and try to get her to scratch it, whilst you go over to Alex, and you sigh in contentment as both her and Maria oblige your need for ear scratches.

    "I believe so." Alex answers. She doesn't mention Lacuna Rain, and the fairy like Stand seems to have disappeared. She stands, picking up the Arrpw, and wrapping it in a cloth from the kitchen. "We should talk about it more at your place."

    "Sure." Maria nods, and you all walk out to her car. It's a really fun car, because Maria can make the roof fold into the back like magic. You jump into the car, claiming shotgun before your human can.

    Alex chuckles, and hops into the back seat. You three drive off into the morning day.

    >---------->

    Unbeknownst to the three in the car, an eye in the sidewalk opens its lids. It tracks the car, watching its destination, and taking note of the license plate.

    <----------<

    You climb onto Maria's couch, taking up all the space for yourself. The two humans don't notice, content with standing and talking to each other.

    "They gave their names?"

    "Yeah. Cory and Toni. They wanted this Arrow. It's... connected to the whole psychic powers thing." Alex says.

    Maria strokes her chin, then pulls up a battered looking laptop from a bag by the door. "Did one of them look like this?"

    She pulls up a news article from a few months ago. Coffee Shop Owner Saves Student from Serial Killer reads the headline, followed by a picture of what looks like a beat up Cory standing protectively next to a white haired girl with dark skin.

    Alex frowns. "That's her. Was that what ended the Psycho Circus killings?"

    "You don't remember?"

    "I was visiting my parents in Boston." Alex admits.

    "Anyways, it's not the first time she's been in the papers, too." Maria says, pulling up a few more online articles. "She punched out a couple of gangsters who tried to set up a protection racket in her area, exposed a corrupt cop after she broke his nose. Got into juvie after picking a fight with a group of bullies. History of heroic violence going back to high school."

    "Why do you know all this stuff?" Alex asks.

    Maria blushes. "I was in her class in high school. I was curious what she got up to after it. And..... I also-sorta-kinda had a crush on her."

    Alex giggles. "That's... that's something."

    Maria nods. "That was my reason when I started. But then... four years ago, her fights changed. A lot more damage to the environment, like someone was swinging around sledgehammers. People came away merely terrified instead of heavy bruising and broken noses. Then, the aftermath of her battle with Psycho Circus looked like a scene out of Avatar. Like an Earthbender fought a guy who could punch through walls. If you two hadn't given me proof that people and dogs can apparently have super powers, I wouldn't know what the fuck was going on."

    You nuzzle her again with Snow Dog.
