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!

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

[civilizedcombat]

hm ok i guess they're like, an 8.5 out of 10 (10 being pegasus), because that combo is pretty rad

but there is no WAY a manticore could eat a pegasus!! a pegasus wouldn't be uncivilized enough to eat a manticore but it could kick its butt for sure. no question about it

[purrsuit]

a manticore could TOTALLY eat a pegasus! its a dragon AND a lion! a fusion of things that like eating horses and birds

i bet pegasuses are its natural prey

[civilizedcombat]

nuh-uh! just how would a manticore defeat a pegasus, which is a beautiful graceful messenger of justice?? it CAN'T, because it's nowhere near as heroic as a pegasus!!

like how many mythical heroes do you see riding manticores????

[purrsuit]

thats beclaws manticores dont need a hero to be heroic

also they probably ate anyone who tried to ride it because its not a pet its a majestic beast

[civilizedcombat]

oh come on, it's totally obvious that pegasi don't let just ANYONE ride them! they only let valiant heroes ride them because they're kind and friendly like majestic heroic beasts should be, but they also have standards

manticores are cool and even majestic but they're definitely not heroic because they're not kind and friendly at all >:O

[purrsuit]

i dunno i think a manticore could be a hero if it wanted to!

just like a pegasus could be evil if it wanted to too! i mean at least pegasus are less boring than unicorns and are kinda cool looking!

[civilizedcombat]

hmm i guess you're right! i mean you're definitely right about pegasi being really cool-looking and being much cooler than unicorns, but...i guess everybody's got the potential to be almost anything!

i think to be a hero a manticore would probably have to stop eating people though

[purrsuit]

what if it only eats bad people

[civilizedcombat]

i think that'd probably be ok!!

well...maybe not so ok with the law.....it'd have to be a manticore hero vigilante, serving justice the hard way and wearing the dark mask of mystery

[purrsuit]

it could be called the MANTIVORE!!

[civilizedcombat]

omg...that's the most amazing codename i've ever heard...there's honestly no way i can top that so i'm not even gonna try

but now that its codename is settled, what sort of cool entrances do you think THE MANTIVORE would have?? i feel like it'd like busting through walls in fiery explosions!! flashy yet tough and professional

[purrsuit]

or swooping down with his massive leathery wings and a magnificent roar to let his enemies know he's there!

and then he'd descend upon them claws unsheathed and mane flowing in the breeze as he lay siege unto his prey

and then hed bite them and eat them

[civilizedcombat]

now we're talking!!

does the mantivore work alone, or does he have teammates or maybe a sidekick?

[purrsuit]

ooh!! im not sure! maybe he has some superhero furriends he teams up with some times but mostly he works alone

because he likes to be alone and mewsterious
