Swimmin with the fishes
Date of Scene: 29 September 2019
Location: Under the sea, under the sea...
Synopsis: Namorita saves an unsuspecting Blackout from being nommed to deat by Tiger Shark.
Cast of Characters: Blackout, Namorita




Blackout has posed:
    Somewhere in the Atlantic, just off the northeastern seaboard, there is a small watercraft. Then again, it's really not a craft at all, it's more like a large black deck that measures 20' x 20'. It floats on the wavy surface of the ocean. Just beneath that deck is a man. Although he looks like a merman from the waist down. It's quick to point out that the material that covers his legs is not his skin, but a black coating that ends in a large flipper like tail. He's using the flipper as a merman or a dolphin would to swim about in the water. He appears to be experimenting with the new affectation (flipper) and learning how to utilize it for swimming proper.

Namorita has posed:
    Nita doesn't see it as *her job* to patrol the whole Atlantic ocean. No, that's more Namor's personal obsession. On the other hand, the woman does like to get out. Today she's flying low over the waves, occasionally plunging into a crest and racing underwater for the sheer joy of it. Launching herself into the air again, the green-clad blonde pauses to hover when she spots the black craft bobbing on the water... and the man with it.

Blackout has posed:
    The man swims about for a bit longer, then comes up for air. He floats, legs/faux flipper beneath him. Breathing deeply. He's not a water breather and he takes off his scuba mask to clean the fog out of it. He is 20 feet from the floating black platform.

    When Namorita comes out of the water, she may also spot another shadow deep beneath the waves heading upward toward the man. It is a larger figure, perhaps a shark, perhaps a man. Coming up fast from deep below. She could, if so inclined, dive deep and intercept the approaching shadow.

Namorita has posed:
    A man with faux flippers and tail? How amusing. Scuba mask as well. Silly human. From this altitude she definitely spots the shadowy shape beneath him, rising fast. And for a moment she considers letting nature take its course. Survival of the fittest, after all...


With a flash of green and yellow, the hovering woman -rockets- into the water in a power-dive. The descent is distracting, although there is little actual splash when she hits. Down down down she goes, heading to intercept the dark shape.

Blackout has posed:
    Her vision is keen and she identifies the shape just as the shape spots her < http://tinyurl.com/yxwd5l2s >. The Tiger Shark immediately alters course to intercept her. He grins, rows and rows of sharp, deadly teeth are revealed. His hands reach forward and he fully intends to grapple with Namorita when they are upon one another.

    IF she allows contact, the impact will cause a shockwave that will send massive waves throughout the water in all directions.

Namorita has posed:
    Grapple Nita underwater? Not a really good idea. Does she recognize the figure? Yes she does. And with one hand extended, Namorita draws back her other arm and accelerates...

    Nita hits Tiger Shark at ramming speed. After hitting him full in the chest, she aims an uppercut at his jaw. Let him grapple if he wants to...

Blackout has posed:
    Grabbing, the Tiger Shark misses. Instead, he's struck squre in the chest the the smaller, more agile girl. The shockwave emits from the strike and sends a wave of force in all directions. Above, on the surface, the wave emits as a huge splash upward alerting Blackout to the going's on beneath the waters.

    The second strike sends Tiger Shark upwards out of the water, into the air, and flying several dozen yards away.

Namorita has posed:
    Nita isn't content with simply knocking Tiger Shark up into the air, of course. She pursues. Launching herself into the air after him, intercepting is pretty easy.

    After all, only one of them can fly under their own power.

    As the 'Tiger arcs back towards the water she catches him. From behind. Slipping him into an armlock, Nita presses a palm against the side of his neck. They hit the water locked together, just as her paralytic toxins begin seeping into his hide. "Sleep..." she murmurs.

Blackout has posed:
    Alerted to the going's on beneath the waves, watching Tiger Shark get knocked out of the water and sent flying; Blackout suddenly feeling outclassed by whatever just happened and he's decided that hanging around is a really bad idea. He turns away, missing the site of Namorita rising from the water. Missing her catching her prey and sending him to sleepy-nite-nite land. Instead, escaping, Blackout opens a portal and falls through letting the flowing of the water carry himself into the Darkforce Dimension. Seconds later, the platform he was near also evaporates.
