Zira grinned a very hard, very dangerous grin. "Be riiiight back. I can't let this pass without a direct comment." Her form swirled, and she vanished...
Only to appear on the street right in front of Tarragon. "Well, well, well! Look who it is! Why Balance boy, you're looking a little bit under the weather! Maybe it has something to do with the week old Chinese food all over you, but... No, that's not quite it! If I didn't know better, I'd almost say that you were completely without power at the moment, but that couldn't be true! You always hole yourself up in that top secret base of yours! So..." She tapped a slender finger against her bottom lip in cruel parody of deep thought, "Hm... What could it be?"

Terragon stared at her in surprise a moment, then let his features fade into obvious annoyance. In reality, he felt far more screwed than annoyed, but he wasn't going to let that show. Not in front of her... "What," he said sternly, seeming to ignore everything else that she had just said. What could he say to it anyway? What excuse could he possibly come up with. She knew, and they both knew it. "do you want, Zira?"

Calmly, she reached out and picked a noodle out of his hair. He was still sitting in a dumpster. This was, quite possibly, the best day of her entire life. "Oh, you know. I want to laugh at you. There will probably be pointing involved as well. Possibly in tandem with the laughing. Then I'm going to spend the whoooole rest of the week..." She leaned in a bit closer and grinned widely, "Playing." She snapped her fingers, and quite suddenly he was dressed up in an anime maid's outfit, complete with little lacy and beribboned hat. And still covered in Chinese food. "Well," she said thoughtfully, "I was trying to turn you into giant duck, but I guess this is just as good." It was also payback for the Angel Mort costume. Ooooh, no; she hadn't forgotten about that.

Amora and Cupid watched the little scene in amusement. They didn't really get why the woman had dressed the man up in such a getup, they wouldn't know.
C.C. ... on the other hand ... was literally rolling on the ground in laughter. Oh knowing what went on in various other conversations and RP's had it's DEFINITE perks. To be accurate, he wasn't the one who put her in the outfit...but he WAS the one who just left her out cold with Deadpool in said outfit. There was a lot more Zira should be permitted to do as payback.
Terragon's eyes widened, and his face turned into a more fleshy tone than his usual porcelain white. Every ounce of him was wanting to change out of the ridiculous outfit, but he had no way of doing so. His eyes narrowed on her, and his face remained the same color. Though it was uncertain if it was out of anger or if he was still embarrassed. "Well, as long as one of us is enjoying themselves." he grated out. "Once the week is over, you can expect to be in for a long nap while I work on cleaning up after you." He assumed that the whole mess he was in now was because of her, so he also assumed that he'd have quite a bit to do once he did get his powers back.

She gave him a rather pitying look and patted him lightly on the head. "Terragon, by the time you get your powers back, you'll be too crazy to use them, at least in the ways you're used to. I'm going to make sure of it. And then there won't BE any balance, will there? No order, no sanity, no more NAPS because I've been bad; just two insane gods braking the world into itty," Pause. "Bitty." Pause. "Pieces." She touched him briefly on the tip of his nose. "And then you'll GET it. Finally. I won't have to keep explaining things, because you'll just UNDERSTAND. And we'll both be enjoying ourselves. So no; there won't be any naps, and there won't be any cleaning up." She suddenly seemed to realize that she'd said more than she meant to, and leaned back from him. "Enjoy your week," she added, that grim little smile coming back in full force. The next moment, she was gone.
And she did NOT reappear on the rooftop.

Terragon was still for a few moments after she left, staring at where she had once been. His expression remained the same. His face had once again become white again, but...there was something almost ghostly about it's color. As if what she had just said had really sank in and bothered him in a horrific way. She meant it, didn't she? She was going to try and break him. He wouldn't put it past her, and this would be the absolute perfect time to try it. After a few long moments, he shook his head and focused on pulling himself completely out of the dumpster. He'd just have to be determined that it wasn't happening. He wasn't going to let her do that to him, and he wasn't going to let the though of it happening bother him. It just wasn't going to happen. Period. He'd just focus on getting through the week, then deal with things once he was able to. There had to be other people here that could help him. There had to be. Once he managed to get himself free of the dumpster, with less grace than he would have preferred, he stood and tried to pick himself clean of the rest of the filth that clung to him. His grimace was again back in place. If there was anything good about being stuck in such a degrading outfit, it was that there was no one around to really see him. Damn it, but he still had to find suitable clothing. He had no money, even if he had it was probably gone since he had a change of uniform. Sh- that meant that his sword and everything else was gone as well. He seriously had nothing other than this ridiculous outfit.
C.C. had managed to calm down once Zira had started talking, and his wide, sinister grin was back in place. Oh, this was absolutely wonderful already. He was anticipating what all could really be done in this RP. My...what fun this was going to be.

Right then, as if to mock him, a woman's voice called out, "Hey! Are you alright?" Whoever it was sounded pretty concerned, and their words were quickly followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. The next moment, a pretty woman with dark skin and long, curling blackish hair became visible. She was wearing civilian clothes, but had a standard issue police holster under her jacket, and had a pistol in her hands. Unfortunately, at the same moment, he became visible to her, and she stopped dead in her tracks, staring at him.
After a second or two, her mouth twitched up a little at the corners before she forced it into a noncommittal line. Then she holstered her weapon. "Detective Montoya, GCPD," she told him as she flashed her badge, her voice coolly professional, "Are you alright, sir?"

Terragon froze upon hearing someone call out to him. He waited, listening to whoever it was make their way up to him, and his blush became a vivid red when he realized that they had stopped dead in their tracks. After taking a long, deep, shaky sigh, he managed to regain his composure enough that he wasn't so red in the face. Oh, he was going to kill that woman... He finally turned around to face her, but was still clearly uncomfortable with his situation. "I...I'm...fine." he mumbled.

The only problem with irony was that it was almost always hated. Jason didn't understand the conversation between the two beings, but he'd been there trying not to laugh when he saw the mans "wardrobe change". In his mind Rampager was laughing like a thousand hyenas, making it harder not to laugh. He hid behind a garbage can and watched them interact. He even saw when another woman came to check on the man. This was a strange place indeed.

She gave him a once over and a look that clearly said, 'You really don't look it.' "Uh huh. Sir, just so you know, hate crimes are an additional charge on top of assault. Are you sure you don't want to tell me anything? Whoever did this could go away for a long time," she added, an angry, flinty look briefly flashing through her black eyes.
A man's voice called from the street outside the alley. "Hey, Montoya! Does he want us to give him a ride? I know some killer tea parties we could hit on the way back to the station!"
She rolled her eyes and held her finger up in a silent, 'just a second,' then turned and shouted, "Bullock, if you can't say something SMART, don't say anything at all. We both know that means silence for the rest of the night, entiendes?" Then she turned back to Terragon. "I'm sorry about that. So. Statement, yes or no?"

// Jeze...why do I get such a kick out of my character's pain and humiliation? I absolutely love this. //
Terragon paused a moment, as if thinking about what he was going to say. He couldn't really tell the truth, and it wasn't like they could do anything about it. "No." he replied finally. "Friends convinced me to go to a bar for the first time." he lied. "My fault for assuming they wouldn't do anything stupid should I not be able to handle alcohol well for the first time. They like to imitate things they see on that stupid show." He paused a moment, blushed a bit again, then continued. "Um...you wouldn't happen to be able to help me...get something....decent to wear though, would you?" he asked, obvious nervousness in his voice.

That's it, Jason couldn't hold it anymore. The man's lies, Rampager's laughing, the dress, it was all to much. He fell over laughing as he knocked down his hiding spot. He stood up, struggling while he held his sides and pointed continuing his laughter at the poor man. He and Rampager laughed harder then thought possible, all the while Jason rudely pointed a finger at the dressed man. He was practically crying, it surprised him that the new female wasn't at least giggling.

The detective's face softened, then hardened again as someone in the alley started laughing. "Pinche idiota," she muttered, then continued in a louder voice. "Did they take your wallet, too? Listen, I know how it can be with 'friends', but if you gave me names...?" She looked at his face and seemed to realize that he wasn't going to. With a sigh, she motioned for him to follow her back toward the street and started walking.
A tall, chubby, sloppily dressed man with thinning hair was leaning against a nondescript silver Honda, rolling a toothpick around in his mouth. As Montoya approached, she asked, "You have an extra set of clothes?"
The man glared at her with mean, beady little eyes. "Thought I wasn't supposed to talk," he told her, sounding more than a little sullen.
"You can answer the question," she replied, exasperated, "Don't turn this into a pissing contest, Bullock; you were being an a*****e. Look at the poor guy."
He seemed to relent. "I don't got nothin' in this car."
Montoya smirked and opened the trunk. "You probably only have one set of clothes to your name. Bet you ten bucks." Bullock snorted. A moment later, the woman came out with a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. It had a Batman insignia on the front. After discretely checking to make sure they were clean, she held them out to Terragon. "Here," she said, "These should fit alright. Do you need me to call a cab, or something?"

He flinched, hearing laughter come from behind him. His face turned beat red again, but he tried to ignore whoever it was behind him. He'd only feel worse if he actually seen them laughing at him.
'I'm going to kill her. I'm going to kill her. I'm going to kill her.'
Terragon's blush died down a bit. "No, I'm alright. Just having appropriate clothes is enough. I can walk." he replied. He had no where to go...no need for a cab. As he took the clothes, he tried to give her an appreciative smile, but still couldn't manage anything but embarrassment. "Thank you." he said quietly.

Jason winced and stopped laughing. He just now remembered that his other arm was still badly hurt and by the looks of it he'd lost enough blood."Ah crap."He uttered before passing out with a thud, his body hitting the ground."You idiot, why on earth are you so stu-"Rampager was cut short as his host became unconcious, sending him into unconciousness as well. Jason laid out on the concrete alley like a lifeless corpse, his arm still bleeding and now him unconcious, unable to get medical attention. Was this also irony or just karma?
