TEXT- #THE WATCH

[superball]

[The following text message comes from a really recent account. Looks like whoever posted this really couldn't resist making their AMAZING PRESENCE known.]

Good day, fellow heroes!

It is with great pleasure that I, the Mysticalman, shall now be watching over this beautiful city of Los Angeles along with the rest of you! Though we may all come from different backgrounds, it warms my heart to the core to see so many upstanding superheroes bravely unite against the wretched forces of EVIL!!! I must say, I am looking forward to meeting all of you in person!

I also happen to have a request- should any of you come across a magical creature, I would be delighted if you could let me know right away! Even the slightest hint, the barest shadow of a clue would be immense help. While I am more than skilled at finding them on my own, I must admit this place is still quite new to me and I would certainly appreciate your assistance! Thank you!

what kind of magical creature??

like a sphinx or a manticore?

[superball]

Sphinxes and sylphs, manticores and mermaids! From shy naiads to the solitary bigfoot! Any kind of creature, really.
Ah, but if you were to see a unicorn...!

[purrsuit]

aw but unicorns are so boring!

sphinxes and manticores are the best

[superball]

Unicorns aren't *boring*!!! They are the most majestic of all magical beasts!!!

[civilizedcombat]

do you mean a magical creature like...........a pegasus??????

[purrsuit]

flourish you know if hes gonna be looking for anything, it's gonna be a manticore

[civilizedcombat]

sorry, wildcat, but that is mega wrong! manticores are cool but pegasi are the most graceful deliverers of justice there are. why would any reasonable person be looking for anything else?? gosh.

[purrsuit]

ummmm because manticores have a scorpion tail, dragon wings and a lion body AND a face

a manticore could eat a pegasus too im just saying

[superball]

Pegasi are indeed part of the aforementioned creatures!! Have you seen one?!

[civilizedcombat]

...no......not yet, at least!! i've been on the lookout for one for a while now – it makes sense that one would fly over LA eventually, right?

heck yes i finally got this font thing to work

[superball]

I see! So you, too, seek a magical beast...

You!! Flourish, isn't it?

[It's very hard for him not to point dramatically at the screen after typing this. Alas, the limitations of written language...!]

[hellacold]

I know where you can find a direwolf.

[superball]

Ah!!!

[Whoops- someone accidentally hit "post" too soon because he was excited]

[superball]

Amazing!!! It seems I made the right choice in asking this community for help. Why, a direwolf is no unicorn, but perhaps it can still be a faithful ally!!!
Where may I find it???

[hellacold]

[directions to the La Brea tarpits


f you, direwolves are BETTER than unicorns]

[superball]

[excuse u, direwolves are all right but they aren't as MAJESTIC as unicorns
and they don't sparkle. critical flaw right there.]

Thank you, friend!!! When I meet the direwolf, I will make sure to mention what a great help you have been. No one can say the Mysticalman doesn't play fair!!!

[He's not even going to check where you're sending him. He's way too busy being excited about MAGICAL CREATURES.
You monster.]

[spitemancer]

What do you want the creatures for? I have several that I'd enjoy showing off, but summoning most of them in a public area isn't allowed here. (Don't ask me why, the decisions are random as far as I know.)

One of them is presentable, in any case. It's no aatze, but I consider that a bonus.

[superball]

[Several?! He's definitely excited at the thought but alas, it doesn't sound like this is quite what he's looking for. He can't just steal someone else's friends, that isn't done!]

What I want? Why, nothing more than to team up with one of this Earth's many wondrous creatures! Man and beast, cooperating in the name of justice!
Ah, but far from me the thought of stealing another's partners! You can summon them, you say?

[Does this place have other magic users
But wow, he really didn't expect to hear about Basque spirits around here. Globalization sure affects everything.]

there's a gw1 joke in here somewhere

[spitemancer]

Of course; it's considered a basic skill. I wouldn't want to travel with all of them underfoot at the same time, anyway.

[sick_heartbeats]

I have a pet unicorn.

[superball]

A *pet* unicorn?!?

You must be pulling my leg! Unicorn are proud, majestic beasts, not some kind of housepet!!!

[sick_heartbeats]

I don't see why she can't be both. 'Sides, if i let her outside she'd get eaten by a hawk or something.

She's pretty small.

[halfa_hero]

Just out of curiousity, do ghosts count?

[superball]

... Are we talking about the "vengeful spirit" kind of ghost?

[halfa_hero]

Eh, most of the ghosts I've seen aren't really vengeful, just obsessed.

Well, except for the ones that I beat the crap out of. But they just hate me.
