The Sailor

Torpedo Lass "Focus, you two..." Mizuki said, showing a park inside the radius described by Scorpio. "This park has a wooded area we can use to conceal what we got... there's a walkway that goes by it as well. If we move by night, that'll add to our advantage." She said, pointing to her glowing eyes. "Once we know they're inbound and make their move, we strike." She crossed her arms. "All I know, is we can't let Jenny here take any more licks... she looks half dead as is. So when we jump 'em, it has to be like lightning." "I'm ready when you are, Puma."

Mizuki Iwasaki Torpedo Lass quirked her eyebrow as her eyes flared up a little. "Junior Tryout?" She held on to the strap of her backpack for a moment. She always kept her costume with her just in case there was some sort of emergency... but to capture the imagination of the crowds, she could be someone who could lead by example. Then again she's already spread herself thin, this summer was madness.... She lost herself in thought as she looked to the ring. She hesitated at the thought... she knew that these feds operated rough with their rookies. At times even worse that what is seen in basic training in most modern militaries. Her eyes flare a little with bluish light. She couldn't hide it. Something in her thrilled at competition, but she knew deep down that it was just a show in the end. You'd give your all to the fans, but in the end, it's how you impress the higher ups. Not through merit... but politics. "Hard pass. I've heard how a lot of talents get ate up alive in these feds. It's a miracle any one who enters these tryouts get looked at seriously."

Torpedo Lass "Nothing would happen to whoever holds the crystal, other than get the attention of these hunters, right? I'm not suddenly going to turn into a Sentry by having it?" Although the thought of being a magical girl in a sailor suit amused her. "Just figuring out the rules we're operating under." She starts pulling up a map of the area on her smart phone.

Torpedo Lass "More than likely they alpha-strike." She said turning to Puma. "They use their aerial option to hit a target unawares while holding the target down with gravity. Once softened Grus moves in and completes the hunt. If they know the target is wide open, they will use that sort of strategy to make an opening. It's what I'd do if I was targeting a villain. Unrelenting force." She looked at the crystal. "Thing is Grus also sounds mighty intelligent. More than likely she has a face to go with the power. If Grus sees some random blue-haired girl walking in her hunting grounds putting off Sentry vibes that don't match the wanted poster, they're going to hesitate. They don't want to blow their cover, and more than likely if they know Scorpio escaped their grasp, they're going to make a safe assumption that whoever is in their grounds is on their own hunt." "It's a 3 on two fight, and if they can sense this power... they can probably detect who is in their reach. crystal holder or not." "Scorpio... know where their current hunting ground is? Perhaps if we dictate the terms of the engagement it'll throw them off. Particularly if we set the terrain."

Mizuki Iwasaki "Think for a second... have you heard some hero and villain banter out there in the world?" She said, scratching her chin. "You might think this is low brow and not worth our time, but consider the fact we are larger than life... even at our age. Some supers live the part." She stretched out. "Some are as bombastic as the talents here in the ring." "That, and Pro Wrestling is one of the most successful physical acting artforms in the world. Not many see it but... I do." "Each one of them put years and years of training in for their bodies. Worked on developing a character to bring through the ranks, sharpening their craft until they hit the big time. And a Talent's position is just as based on their physical talents as are their character." "To me... this is the ultimate stunt show. Framed around the concept of a sporting event. But the sporting event is between archetypes... good and evil, greed vs altruism, loyalty vs expedience, ego vs humbleness..." "And sometimes..." she says before getting a massive grin on her face. "It's just darn fun."

Mizuki "Torpedo Lass" Iwasaki "This almost sounds familiar... like that situation with Eclipse I think it was?" She said, turning to Puma. "Is she associated with all that? Still remembering that Dragon we had to give a thrashing to..." This isn't what I wanted to get into... another tangle with that crystal? That was getting on the level the adult capes would have to handle. And we're diving back into the fireworks? She was struck incredulous... particularly with that academy they were rolling out from. If they wanted to go 0-3 against the Seaworthy Sentinel though she was ready to dance. She survived a shark attack, after all.

Torpedo Lass TL looked around as best she could with a fully inflated life vest cradling her head. "Possible hostages and... explosives." She said, pointing to the yacht that was moving backwards in the water by now. "There was some... shark men..." She said getting her bearings before putting her slowly recovering energy into herself, pulling herself out of the water. "Well that's new... and a splitting..." She looked about, everything seemed brighter... "Umm... how long have I been out, It's.... Ohhhh I get it..." Seems the stress of the fight turned on something... she'd have to explore it later her back now was screaming from multiple cuts. "Yeah some shark men were trying something shady on that yacht... com'on... I wager the others could use some help... and I don't think that yacht should be moving at all." She said starting to fly herself over to where V and Mike were, the sight of Torpedo Lass' torn and blood soaked costume told the story. When she hit the deck it was with a thud... seemed her head was still spinning a bit. "Guys, there might be some people down below, those sharks were mentioning some people they "took care of". Once I get my bearings I'll bring the boat to a stop so law enforcement can handle the rest here... I know my way around a boat." She said, getting back to her feet. "Everyone okay?"

Oh, we're supposed to stat them out?

Mizuki Iwasaki It has been a while... last time she saw a match was when the family was stationed in Japan, watching the NJPW style and seeing all the larger than life personalities who were experts of the Strong Style was something that caught her imagination. When not thinking of being a fighter pilot or scientist... she couldn't pick. She was wearing her favorite bomber jacket over an Ace Combat t-shirt with blue jeans and red converses... With her blue hair and eyes, she did stand out amongst the crowd, other than the other superbeings in the arena. Mizuki though wasn't much of a UWL fan, preferring the All In Wrestling brand of wrestling... but when you're a fan of the up and coming league you tend to be out of the loop. Seeing what few stars she did have interest in from the independent circuit being a bit watered down for the American style of Pro Wrestling was sad. But some blossomed here. But she kept a stoic face as she followed along in lockstep with the Coach. When it came to Mizuki's professional and academic relationship with the coach, she was used to a stricter type of Teacher. Her father, while gracious, was strict. Then again her dad came from the Captain Picard school of discipline. All it took to have Mizuki correct herself was be told they were disappointed in her. "I see the UWF is starting to change it's flavor a bit, Coach... seeing Butterfly Blade Ben Silver here doing what he does best is... refreshing. That Strong Style of his is spicy." She stretched a bit. "Nothing like Karl Alpha, though. Canadians do know how to obliterate people." Then she spotted one UWL talent she knew... "Oh... my... god... they actually brought a Joshi over and her gimmick is intact?!?! Taki... The Spirit Fox herself!" The gang was about to see a different side of Mizuki... the fangirl.

I'll be bowing out. I'm going to focus on smaller threads for a bit. Distress call.

Present and accounted for.

Mizuki Iwasaki She was shocked... looking at the left over recycling and garbage, all that was left was stuff either going into storage (which the adults were coming by to do) and their stuff. "Well... made quick work of it, the two of us..." She said, smiling. Her back throbbed a bit, but only for a moment... she still from time to time felt the effects of one of those said shark villains trying to turn her into a chew toy. Was probably more the weather. Or psychosomatic. She winced for a moment before stretching out, which seemed to get the kink out. "So... any plans for today?"

Torpedo Lass II - 6 Posts Never Was 2 Ren Faire: Training Grounds 2 Explosions After Dark 2

Mizuki - a.k.a. Torpedo Lass II Mizuki didn't need the credits for her own academics... but she was buying time. She had been hearing of several internship opportunities opening up after the winter semester, and she wanted to take advantage. Opening her school schedule up for these opportunities to connect with different agencies in Freedom City was a smart strategy if she planned on expanding her horizons as a full-time hero. That and potential employment possibilities. Although a few business cards were secure in her posession from recruiters for UNIQUE, not to mention everyone from oceanic research to product testing nautical safety equipment... I mean if you can't drown you're perfect for the job, right? She shook her head for a moment, adjusting the form-fitting hood to her new costume. She decided to bring out the new Torpedo Lass costume she'd been setting up as a project to test it doing some hard work. Knowing it was about to rain to help keep it out of her eyes she had a pair of goggles at the ready as well. If anything her outfit was super easy to clean, and would keep any grime off of her for the duration. After heaving a more awkward several bags full of aluminum cans into position she sat down on a coach's chair mercifully provided by the staff of the school. "Phew... Got any more heavy stuff over there, Carmen? Maybe we should catch a breath before getting back on this. The trucks aren't due for a few more hours and we're making progress." This wasn't a bad job, but getting to know Carmen was more important. Mizuki doesn't get to socialize a lot with the other students outside of certain occasions, and after the Fiji crisis she realized she had to make some improvements and countering her wall-flower ways.

Tagging.
