The Pumpkin Thief ( cool : Every now and then, a few pumpkins will disappear from a local pumpkin patch. It’s probably just some teenagers playing pranks, or some wild animals, or–oh, this is Destiny City. Of course there are rumors that it might actually be some furry, moss covered behemoth from the forest. And, there’s credence to that rumor, because maybe you’ve seen it, too. It’s a strange creature that keeps its distance. It almost looks like it might be a skinny, malformed bear but there’s something just off about it. Sometimes, it just steals pumpkins and you find their carcasses strewn about not far off. Sometimes, it throws the pumpkins–at people, at places. Sometimes, it carves out a hideous face and wears the pumpkin like a mask. It cannot be caught, and it will always run off into the wood if engaged. Sometimes, you can hear a strange, ghoulish bellow as it disappears into the forest.
Dant had been running around in civilian and Senshi forms attempting to quell the Gargoyles and other strange occurrences of Halloween in this strange city on this strange planet. Now he needed a break. He came out early one morning for his pumpkin latte, maybe too early for they were closed. Made sense for it was still dark and as Humans reckoned time it was 3:45 AM - was his Pumpkin Addiction that bad that he couldn't sleep? He sighed and started to turn away and go home when he heard an interesting sound. A loud grunt of some kind. Some shuffling of boxes, and the LATTE Machine being Crushed! WHOEVER DID THAT WAS GONNA PAY!
He looked in the nearest window and saw some large, weird creature lapping up the Pumpkin Spice Latte and leaving all the other lattes all over the floor. Ah, a brother in the addiction of Pumpkin Lattes. Unfortunately, the smashing of Latte machines was unforgivable, even among Pumpkin Latte Addicted Brothers.
Dant had no choice but to transform into DSS Sailor Sekhmet. Since the creature had already torn the door from its hinges, he decided that he needn't worry about 'breaking and entering' and went in. The creature bellowed at him, and he nodded. "I know, the Pumpkin Latte is really good, but you can't be smashing Latte machines to get it. I'm going to have to chase you out of here." The creature growled in response.
Sailor Scout Attack: Mother Sekhmet's Gentle Breath
Sailor Sekhmet calls out the name of the name of the attack and spins in a gentle circle, causing a small dust-devil of sand to spin-off of him. The magic creates an uncomfortable sensation of wind and sand beating against someone. It can make it difficult to see and breathe. At player discretion, it can cause lasting minor damage. It lasts for 30 seconds, reaches 10 feet, and has a maximum of 3 uses.
The Creature yelped like a small dog that had been slightly frightened and ran past Sekhmet and out the door so fast, Sekhmet felt a breeze.
"Well," Sekhmet said, "At least he went out the way he came, and didn't create any more damage." Sekhmet then used what was left of his powers to clean up as best he could. He couldn't fix the Latte machine as much as he wanted to. But everything else was fixed and clean, and Sailor Sekhmet was gone by the time the police and owners came.
And it was no surprise to the Owners, when one of their favorite customers showed up early with a friend and asked how he could help.
After paperwork (he was helped by his friend, Officer Drew Bones), he was immediately put to work cleaning what was left of the mess and doing dishes - it was good that he had gotten practice at the apartment that he was staying at. He was a little frustrated - as the only Career Path he'd ever known was working as a Senshi not serving people, but it also made a difference that he was doing work that needed to be done and was the start of an independent life on Earth - a new life. His old life, wasn't quite over, and it would never quite completely be, but at last he had hope.
