THE NEXT MORNING

*Panel shows the bell ringing at a high school, THE ACTOR and CREAMPUFF walk to class.*

CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!

Can we talk real quick?

THE ACTOR: Sure thing, Goldie.

Is everything okaaayyy-??

*CREAMPUFF pulls THE ACTOR into a corner to speak in private.*

CREAMPUFF: I know.

THE ACTOR: You know...what?

CREAMPUFF: I know about The Actor and I know about Obsidian.

Mars, I know about you.

THE ACTOR: Elizabeth. I have o clue what your talking about.

CREAMPUFF: Mars, I know you are The Actor.

THE ACTOR: How do you-

*THE ACTOR is cut off by TELEPORTER.*

TELEPORTER: Elizabeth!

There you are! I've been looking all over for you!

*CREAMPUFF annoyingly waves.*

TELEPORTER: Oh, hello there, Farrell!

THE ACTOR: Keegan! What's up, my man?

TELEPORTER: Oh, nothing much. I was just looking for the two of you, we're going to be late for class!

CREAMPUFF: *Sarcastically* Great.

THE ACTOR: Well then, let's get going.

*Whispering, to CREAMPUFF* We'll talk about this later.

AFTER SCHOOL

*Panels show THE ACTOR fighting some goons in an alleyway, they defeat them and go to comfort a young woman who the goons attacked.*

THE ACTOR: Are you alright ma'am?

WOMAN: Yes. Th-thank you.

*The woman gathers her things and leaves the alleyway. OBSIDIAN jumps down into the alleyway, and knocks out a goon who was getting up to attack THE ACTOR from behind.*

OBSIDIAN: Might want to watch your surroundings.

What? No thank you?

THE ACTOR: *Smugly* Thank you, Obsidian.

OBSIDIAN: Your welcome.

See, was that so hard, hero?

THE ACTOR: *Sarcastically* So tough, such a struggle.

OBSIDIAN: *Sarcastically* Oh, yes. I'm sure it was.

THE ACTOR: So, why'd you drop by?

OBSIDIAN: I, uh...

...I wanted to talk about last night.

THE ACTOR: Oh...

*THE ACTOR blushes and can easily be seen behind their domino mask.*

OBSIDIAN: Yeah, I...

...I wanted to apologize.

THE ACTOR: Apologize, huh? That's out of character for you.

OBSIDIAN: Heh, I know. But, I just don't know what came over me last night and...

...I'm sorry.

THE ACTOR: Well, your forgiven.

Was that all you wanted to talk about?

OBSIDIAN: Well, now that you mention it...

...Last night, after our meeting I was confronted by a girl in the alleyway.

THE ACTOR: Oh?

OBSIDIAN: She said she knew you.

THE ACTOR: What'd she look like?

OBSIDIAN: Its was hard to see in the dark but...

...She was dressed in some makeshift uniform with what looked like facepaint over her eyes...

...Oh, very blond hair I can tell you that!

THE ACTOR: I don't...

...Oh...Goldie.

OBSIDIAN: So, you know her?

THE ACTOR: No.

Well, yes. But...

OBSIDIAN: But?

THE ACTOR: It's nothing.

I've got to go.

OBSIDIAN: Again?

You seem to have a habit of walking out mid conversation.

THE ACTOR: I'm sorry but...

...I need to make a call.

*THE ACTOR grapples away leaving OBSIDIAN in the alleyway alone.*

OBSIDIAN: ...Damn.

LATER

*THE ACTOR is at home trying to contact CREAMPUFF on the phone.*

THE ACTOR: Come on, come on, pick up!

CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Hey!

THE ACTOR: Hey, Goldie!

CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Sorry I can't come to the phone right now...

...But leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

THE ACTOR: Damn.

*Beep.*

THE ACTOR: Goldie. We need to talk. Please call me back.

*THE ACTOR looks over to the TV which is currently showing the news.*

NEWSCASTER: And in other news, Creampuff, a newly established hero has defeated her first major foe.

We have Greg over on the scene. Greg?

GREG: Yes, Carmen. I am here at the scene of the battle with Creampuff.

Now tell us, what made you decide to join the fight?

THE ACTOR: Oh my god.

Goldie!!?

CREAMPUFF: Well, Greg I became Creampuff because I wanted to help those in immediate danger-

*THE ACTOR turns of the TV and sits there on their couch in shock.*

THAT NIGHT

*THE ACTOR crawls into the window of CREAMPUFFs house.*

THE ACTOR: *Whispering* Goldie!

Elizabeth we need to talk!

*CREAMPUFF turns on the light.*

CREAMPUFF: I knew you'd come.

THE ACTOR: What the hell do you think your doing?

CREAMPUFF: ...What?

THE ACTOR: You've just made yourself a target!

Your not trained for something like this!

CREAMPUFF: I know I'm not but I couldn't just stand around and watch you be an idiot!

THE ACTOR: Idiot!!?

CREAMPUFF: You struck a deal with Obsidian!

Their a villain! You of all people know what they've done! How could you trust them!

THE ACTOR: I knew it.

*THE ACTOR points a finger at CREAMPUFF.*

THE ACTOR: You were the one who talked to them last night!

*CREAMPUFF crosses her arms.*

CREAMPUFF: And what if I was?

THE ACTOR: Elizabeth, your putting yourself in danger, this is a situation that you don't understand.

CREAMPUFF: ...You are too.

Let me join your team.

THE ACTOR: Hm?

CREAMPUFF: Your making a team. I want in.

THE ACTOR: What did I just say about putting yourself in danger!!?

CREAMPUFF: I wont be in danger. You'll be there.

THE ACTOR: No, Goldie.

CREAMPUFF: Fine.

But I'm not going to stop being Creampuff.

THE ACTOR: *Sighs in defeat* Fine.

*CREAMPUFF smiles. THE ACTOR gives her a card*

THE ACTOR: Meet me next saturday at this location.

CREAMPUFF: I'll see you there.

For those of you who follow me for my STRIKE story, the script is being edited and rewritten from the beginning so it may be a very long while before anything involving that story is posted. I will still remain active but That specific storyline will be taking a hiatus on social media. Big news on it however, I have found an artist/animator so STRIKE may actually become a comic! I'll leave you all updates!

In the words of my fabulous partner...

"Fuck coconut crabs they killed Amelia Earhart!"

🦀

Opinion on crabs? Thanks for asking.

I love them.

I love them so much.

I'm sorry, YOU SLEEP WITH SOCKS ON??? Hell no! You can't be trusted, no one who is comfortable sleeping with socks can be trusted.

Do your feet not get itchy in socks all day?? Aren't your feet extra stinky from keeping them captured all day?? Do you sleep with socks on??

No, no, yes.

Happy Birthday to my main man Jason Todd!! 🥳🎊🎉

Just an experiment… reblog this if you write or draw whump and you’re also a trauma survivor (any kind of trauma counts for these purposes)

Needed this

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

STRIKE Issue #1

*Panel shows a riot of civilians in front of the city hall. SPECTRE is not yet a hero.*

SPECTRE: Please everyone!

Calm down please!

CIVILIAN ONE: We don't want to be saved by your vigilantes!

CIVILIAN TWO: Are we training our children to send them to their deaths and call them heroes?! That's just wrong!

SPECTRE: Please calm down!

Our cities heroes are only trying to help you!

CIVILIAN THREE: We don't want their help!

CIVILIAN FOUR: They're just freaks the government's using as soldiers!

*OBSIDIAN makes their way through the crowd and to a place everyone can see them.*

OBSIDIAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

CIVILIAN TWO: Oh dear god!

CIVILIAN FOUR: A villain!

OBSIDIAN: Now I would recommend that you all skedaddle. I have some business I need to attend to.

*The crowd all fearfully run away.*

Now we wait for The Actor.

MEANWHILE

*CREAMPUFF, who is not yet CREAMPUFF is heading towards her dance class when she sees THE ACTOR in civvies being suspiciously in a rush.*

CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!

Where are you off too...?

*THE ACTOR doesn't notice CREAMPUFF and keeps running, CREAMPUFF, suspicious, follows unseen. THE ACTOR runs to the city hall and changes into their uniform before entering.*

THE ACTOR: Obsidian.

OBSIDIAN: Ah, you made it, hero!

I was starting to think you wouldn't show up.

THE ACTOR: Well of course I would show up.

I'm the one who needed to talk to you.

See STRIKE #0

OBSIDIAN: Oh yes, I remember.

Now, what was it that you wanted to discuss?

*CREAMPUFF catches up to THE ACTOR and hides behind a door and watches everything.*

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Wait...

Thats The Actor and...

...Obsidian?

Where did Mars go?

THE ACTOR: You'll actually be surprised.

OBSIDIAN: Oh?

THE ACTOR: I want to recruit you. To reform you.

OBSIDIAN: Recruit me? Reform me?

THE ACTOR: Yes.

OBSIDIAN: Now, why would you even want to do that? Hm? Do you think I can really be trusted?

Hero, I'm the bad guy, in case you forgot.

THE ACTOR: Listen, Guy has gone missing.

I didn't have much connection with him after his retirement but I know he wasn't the most social person.

During his hero days you were who we fought against the most.

I don't know...

...I thought you would know something about him or where he might go after studying him for so long.

*Panel shows shock on both OBSIDIAN and CREAMPUFFs faces.*

OBSIDIAN: My...

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Guy...is...gone...?

OBSIDIAN: Well...

...That is certainly some interesting news.

THE ACTOR: So...

...What do ya say?

OBSIDIAN: I don't think the public will be very happy if I were to play hero.

THE ACTOR: If you help me with a missing persons case as big as this I'll see what i can do about getting you pardoned.

OBSIDIAN: I doubt you'll do that.

You don't even trust me, do you?

THE ACTOR: I do trust you.

OBSIDIAN: Then prove it.

THE ACTOR: How about I make you a deal?

If you join me, I'll tell you who's behind the mask.

*OBSIDIAN smiles.*

OBSIDIAN: Alright, hero.

You've got yourself a deal.

*THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN shake hands to seal the deal.*

OBSIDIAN: So now tell me, who are you?

*THE ACTOR slowly takes off their mask*

CREAMPUFF: *Gasp. Whispering, to self.* Oh my god...

The Actor is...

THE ACTOR: My name is...

CREAMPUFF AND THE ACTOR: Mars!

*CREAMPUFF was a little to loud and was heard by THE ACTOR catching their attention. THE ACTOR suddenly looks toward the door, CREAMPUFF covers her mouth in fear.*

THE ACTOR: I'm sorry, I thought I heard something.

OBSIDIAN: *In awe* ...Your beautiful.

THE ACTOR: Hm?

*THE ACTOR quickly turns back to face OBSIDIAN who is slowly reaching their arm towards THE ACTOR who takes a large step back.*

OBSIDIAN: I thought you trusted me.

*THE ACTOR leans forwards to show trust and OBSIDIAN tucks a few strands of hair behind THE ACTORs ears, holding their face.*

OBSIDIAN: Heh, I didn't know you had freckles...

...They're cute.

*THE ACTOR smiles. OBSIDIAN takes off their own mask and leans in for a kiss. THE ACTOR pulls away.*

THE ACTOR: Well, um uh. Good to know your on the team...

...I've got a uh, few more people to talk to so um I'll stay in touch...

*THE ACTOR puts both of their masks back on to hide the fact that they are currently a blushing mess as they head toward to window and pull out a grappling hook.*

OBSIDIAN: But...

THE ACTOR: Good bye!

*THE ACTOR grapples away. OBSIDIAN throws their mask down and sit on the windowsill.*

OBSIDIAN: Stupid!

Ugh! what is wrong with you that was a stupid move!

*CREAMPUFF looks back at her dance bag and thinks hard while staring at a dark blue crop top with a heart logo.*

LATER

*Panels show THE ACTOR arrive at a cabin house on the outskirts of town and an apartment door, both residents answer.*

THE ACTOR: Hello...

...V.

...Bug.

I am putting together a team to search for a missing persons and I am well aware of your abilities.

BLURRY FACE: My abilities? I-I don't know what your talking about...

...You must have the wrong person.

SPECTRE: Missing? Who's gone missing?

THE ACTOR: V, I am well aware that you have been following Guy and I for the past few years.

I know very well about the powers of your incense and crystals as well.

Guy has gone missing, I need your expertise to help find him.

SPECTRE: I'm not so sure if I'm the right person for this, don't get me wrong I would love to help but...

There is nothing special about me.

BLURRY FACE: And all this time I thought I was being sneaky.

Ok, I'll help!

THE ACTOR: Nonsense. I've heard about how you can calm a crowd and that you are incredibly handy with a computer.

We could use a tech expert on our team.

SPECTRE: Wow, thats really an honor...

...I would love to join you! Thank you so much for this opportunity!

THE ACTOR: Perfect!

*THE ACTOR hands them both a card.*

THE ACTOR: Meet me at this address on saturday next week at exactly 4:45.

Don't be late.

BLURRY FACE: Will do!

SPECTRE: Thank you! I'll be there!

LATER

*OBSIDIAN is stopped in an alleyway by CREAMPUFF in a makeshift uniform made from her dance clothes.*

OBSIDIAN: And who might you be?

CREAMPUFF: I'm no one.

But...

*CREAMPUFF threatenly leans in toward OBSIDIAN.*

CREAMPUFF: If you dare hurt Mars.

I'll kill you.

*OBSIDIAN nonchalantly pushes CREAMPUFF back with one hand.*

OBSIDIAN: Calm down, creampuff.

You got nothing to worry about.

*OBSIDIAN walks away.*

CREAMPUFF: Sure.

But I'll be watching.
