[ACTION]

*The building's surrounded! The Justice League is currently handling this situation. The robbers had attempted to hold the tellers hostage, but hadn't counted on Wild Tiger being there to intercept! Thing is, though. on the way over, he got covered with this weird green stuff. It can't be too much of an issu --

Whoa, there he goes, getting catapulted out through one of the walls backwards! Those robbers must have one heck of a punch -- wait, now he's bouncing off the building on the other side of the street, and flinging right back into the building. It sounds like total mayhem in there! What could possibly --*

[VIDEO]

*He, uh, appears to be bouncing around in the building. Everywhere.*

SOMEBODY FIND A WAY TO FRIGGIN' SLOW ME DOWN ALREADY!

[Really, old man. Really.

He isn't even going to bother replying to the video. Instead he's just going to put on his suit and get there as soon as possible, and lie in wait for the perfect opportunity.

And by that, I mean he's going to princess-carry him.]

*The standard method of saving the old man may be somewhat difficult considering his velocity, and the fact that he's going int several different directions instead of one (which is to say down). In fact, it's just as likely that one misplaced bounce may result in him crashing INTO Bunny rather than getting caught by him...*

[rookierabbit]

[And yes. It does.

Congratulations, you've just caught your partner up in this insane bouncing, from all the shouting going on. What do you have to say for yourself?]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

*Mostly variations of "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" honestly. This stuff seems to disobey the laws of physics.*

[rookierabbit]

[Yeah, but at some point, it's got to stop. The question is, when and how? Barnaby is getting rather frazzled from all the screaming and bouncing and yeesh...]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

*Okay, this is bullhockey. He's pretty sure he's seen one particular beam he keeps passing. He just needs to aim right and...

He shoots a wire out at it. Got it! And it redirects his momentum -- except now he's working a bit like a paddle ball until he can get the damn wire reeled in.

He is seriously going to need a hot bath after all this for all the aches.*

[rookierabbit]

[Ergh, okay, good idea there, Kotetsu. In the meantime, Barnaby here has noticed a small bare patch of floor and is going to try twisting around a bit, bounce off the slime again, and skid on that bare patch.

Okay, he's good, as long as he doesn't move around too much and accidentally step on the slime or something. And ow, right there with you on the hot bath thing.]

How do you keep getting yourself into these situations?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

*Well, he's stopped, finally, hanging from the wire like that.*

Hey, it would've been business as usual if that crap hadn't fallen from the sky! What the hell even IS this stuff?!

[rookierabbit]

Some kind of slime, I suppose. I'm afraid I don't have any more ideas beyond that.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

It's a pain in the ass, is what it is! And it's all over the damn suit too, gah. How the hell am I supposed to get anywhere like this?!

[rookierabbit]

I think the more pressing question is, how are you going to get down first?

[You can practically hear the smirk. Though, well, he's picking off some slime that got stuck to his suit, so at least they're even there?]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Very carefully. Look, shut up, I can figure this out!

*He starts reeling down. Carefully.*

[Meanwhile, back across the street, Booster just... buries his face in his hands for a while. How did Max ever deal with this kind of stuff?]

[Video]

[red_dwarf]

[Jr. can't help laughing and shaking his head.]

This is why I'm staying inside until the mess clears up.

Re: [Video]

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

WELL WHOOPDY-DOO! YOU GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS OR NOT?!

*Man, watching the background bounce around is almost nauseating.*

[red_dwarf]

Yeah.

Quit bouncing around like an idiot.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

GEE, THANKS SMARTASS! I'LL REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU'RE STUCK SOMEWHERE SO I CAN TELL YOU "STOP BEING STUCK!"

[red_dwarf]

Yeah, yeah.

I could help you out, if you want.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK?! OF COURSE I WANT! *boing* OW!

[red_dwarf]

I dunno, man. Your leader seems to think that I'm not qualified enough to join your little superheroes club. What if I'd just mess things up while trying to help?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUSLY PULLING THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW?! THAT'S SO -- OW! that was a pointy part!

[red_dwarf]

[A few heartbeats pass in silence. Then Jr. lets out a long, weary sigh and hangs up.

Not long after, he appears on his re-engineered hovering skateboard, and follows Kotetsu as he bounces along. When he gets close enough, he dangles a rope toward him.]

Grab on!

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

*WITH CAT-LIKE REFLEXES HE -- okay, it takes him a couple passes, but he manages to grab the rope finally, dangling.*

Geez, can that thing really hold both of us?

[red_dwarf]

Whoa!

[The skateboard bobs wildly, nearly throwing Jr. off.]

Probably not, but I don't see any other options here!
