- Abnormal Norman 3: Beta Test Flight
- ___________________________________
- >Day regular harem, 4 days after the arrow incident
- Be Norman
- >You feel your body giving up on you
- >Day after day of Rainbro's workout routine makes you feel like you're being punished
- >Worst part is, you get to hear whistles through your ears while Brad can't stop talking on and on about the superhero idea
- >So far only Fluttershy seems to take less interest on the whole thing and is probably the only one against it
- >4 people knows about the ring:Brad, Purple, Flutters and Rainbro. Aryan and Pinkie have yet to know of this
- >It's probably for the best
- >You daydream while walking to school, thinking about Aryan Beauty being a damsel in distress, the Mary Jane to your Peter Parker
- >It's a guilty pleasure you have, wishing your best friend and romantic interest to get hurt just so you could pull off a heroic act
- >You shake these fantasies of and started to think about the workouts and the ring
- >You admit to yourself that Purple's theory of "dubs becomes quads" is starting to become a fact
- >Yesterday you lifted the family car, something you couldn't do with the ring before
- >You found it plausible, but your mind shifts into focus, for you have reached the school door.
- >Alright, time for your daily routine. On the left...
- >Before you recieve your morning's notice, you've noticed that several of the students went pale, as if they've seen a ghost
- >You feel a different aura around you
- >Investigating, you noticed the archer girl, Lyra
- >She's walking around with black circles under her eyes, as if she hasn't slept for days
- >Her calm eyelids cover 40% of her upper eyes, her calm demeanor gives off a small smirk on her face
- >Another student comes to her, worried
- >"Lyra! I heard you got sick, what ha-"
- >She ignores her as if she was just wind passing by.
- >You deduce that something's wrong with her, but again, you pay little attention to her once the bell rang.
- >Yet, you can't stop thinking about 4 days ago. She ran past the track field in a hurry with worry on her face.
- >"I guess I'll try to console her later" you tell yourself
- :Afterhours:
- >Managed to sneak away from Rainbro and her nazi training grounds
- >Chill back at house, sitting on the floor throwing a baseball up and down.
- >You look at your box of old clothes, toying with the idea of a costume
- >the hell with it
- >You grab a pair of scissors and your mother's sewing kit and you started cutting and sewing, even though you don't know shit about sewing
- >Thread after thread, your ideas flow out like waterfalls
- >The ring protects you from needle pricks, making your unexperienced sewing easier
- >at long last, your alt costume is done. You look at it with seriousness and joy.
- >A combination of an old jacket and several other clothing, looking like a hobo's catsuit, filled with stitches and scratches.
- >The mask, which a broken football helmet painted and bleached to green for skull protection, and your two old beanies, sewed together to cover your whole head under the helmet.
- >After cutting the eyeholes, you immediately put everything on, just see what it looks and feels like
- >You look at yourself, telling yourself that you look awesome and ridiculous.
- >Looking at the mirror, you flex yourself, doing one liners and several other ridiculous things
- >Well, you got this far, why not go out and make a fool out of yourself
- >You thought about it hard. Is this really the first night you'll go out on patrol as a costumed vigilante?
- >Not to mention that bullets could still pierce through your skin. You're practically a dude using a Batman cheatcode.
- >Looking outside, you see the view of houses and buildings. It gives you a dumb look on your face.
- >"Alright" you tell yourself
- >"Just a night out jogging on buildings...nothing violent"
- >You look at the clock. 7:00 PM.
- >You grab your backpack and head off onto the night, hoping this wouldn't be the last time you walk.
- 6:25
- Be Lyra
- >Your mind is in shambles. Confusion invades your thoughts
- >The day you got your first instrument? The day you were born? The day you..."gaah"
- >It's happening again
- >You see things you aren't supposed to see. You percieve events before your eyes. Events so small that they aren't even supposed to be witnessed
- >Ever since the day you wore that locket around your neck, you started to see, to feel things. Time temporarily stopped at your will, visions randomly appear before you
- >The one thing you thought would cure the headaches just gave you more problems.
- >You couldn't even communicate properly with your mother, much more with your friends.
- >Whenever you try to take the locket off, you go blind, going back to the abyss.
- >You fear for your life, thinking that it would drive you to the brink of insanity.
- >You mumble to your self, ignoring Octavia who's been following you all day.
- >You hear her trying to talk to you, but the vision's sounds plug your ears from her
- >She goes in front of you, trying to get your attention.
- >The vision ends, and you burst in to tears as you lay your head on Octavia'chest
- >"Lyra, what's happening to you?"
- >"I *sniff* I-I don't know"
- >"A-at some *cough* time, I see things. Horrible things. Other times, I see nothing"
- >You try telling Octavia what you've been through, but your words confuse her
- >"Speak sense! What are you talking about"
- >"This...thing"
- >You show her the locket you've been wearing
- >"I want to get rid of it, but when I do, I lose my vision and I see nothing"
- >Octavia looks in fear and shock
- >"Can't we take you to the doctor, find out what's wrong with you"
- >You mumble to yourself, saying that you'd go to the madhouse if that happens
- >Suddenly, another vision starts. This time you see something familiar.
- >7:12 on the clock. Date is same as today
- >A local convenient store getting robbed by three thugs with bats, one armed with a pistol
- >You watch as the cashier shivers in fear as he extracts the money from the cash register
- >You also see your mother, hiding in fear in one of the aisles of the store
- >Suddenly a man crashes from the windows
- >It looks like a masked hobo wearing a catsuit and a helmet
- >The masked man insults them, causing them to hit him with a bat. Hobo barely reacts to the metal bat hitting his arm.
- >He throws a punch, severely causing pain to the one brute thug
- >As he throws a punch, the leader of the pack gets his gun and manages to shoot the hobo
- >Blood spills as the vision ends
- >"Oh God"
- >"Octavia looks at her with worry
- >"What...WHAT!?"
- >You escape from her yelling "MOM" I'M COMING"
- >"LYRA WAIT"
- >You decide to stop time, helping you get to the store faster.
- >Time stops for 1 minute. You look at your watch as you run. 6:55 PM
- >You kept calm and ran on, hoping to reach your mother on time
- 6:45
- Be Brad
- >"I can't believe Norman bailed on us!" Rainbow yelled
- >It's quarter to 7, and Norman was supposed to meet us at the field for his hero training
- >Not. Bradical.
- >"I-I'm sure he has a good reason for bailing on us" Flutters said, trying to be neutral
- >"If it's because he got lazy, I'm beating the crap out of him tommorow"
- >Feeling bored, might as well borrow Twily's notes
- >Hey Twily, can I see how our good man is doing?
- >She eagerly lends you the notes while explaining to you about her calculations
- >Everything in the notepad is filled with math and equine science. Not sure if I understand all this
- >Fuck, it's giberish. Just nod and hum Brad. Just nod and hum.
- >"HAI GUYS!"
- >It's Pinkie and Rarity, seemingly upset
- >We all greeted them while Twily seems to have the whole "Guiltbecausesecrets" face
- >"It's been days since all of us hung out at once. What going on?"
- >Flutters stays quiet, Twily kept her nose buried on her notes
- >"We've been...err... training Norman so he could fullfill his dreams of joining the olympics!" I told them
- >"Yeah, he's been training all week. I think he's even gaining one hot body" Rainbow added
- >"OOOHH, my little Normy's finally getting fit." Rarity said excitedly
- >Pinkie's also happy for the news, saying they need to surprise him with a pre olympics party
- >Before Pinkie could continue, Rarity questioned the group
- >"Where is he, then?"
- >Crap, a plothole to our clever story.
- >The awkwardness is rising, time to get out
- >"Oh gee, look at the time"
- >It's 7:00
- >"Listen, there's a big game going on and I don't want to miss it"
- >Yeah, good lie
- >You briskly walked out, hoping Twily, Rainbow or Flutter thinks of a better excuse
- 7:00 - 7:11 Split segment
- Be Norman
- >Running through the rooftops without a care in the world
- >Holy crap, I'm doing it
- >It's exciting as hell. Almost calming
- >Now I know why Spider-man loved swinging through Queens
- >The ring doubles your jumping and climbing skills, making you feel like a professional runner
- >"WOO HOO" you yell carelessly while running from rooftop to rooftop
- >Feels like the world's your oyster.
- >Your enhanced ear hears some of the commotion below you
- >"Mommy there's a ninja on the rooftop" said a little boy to her hot mother [spoiler]button pls[/spoiler]
- >You laugh it off, and continue to freerun in your neighborhood
- >Suddenly, you stop, seeing three suspicious guys enter a convenience store
- >oh shit, what's happening
- >As you hear a faint scream, you climb to the ledge where the window was, hoping to see more inside the store.
- >It's a robbery, holy crap.
- >You can't just stand there and watch, there's crime happening
- >But you can't fight them, you're inexperience.
- >Heart beats faster, your ring lights faintly
- >You know you can't let this poor guy get robbed, plus ther's probably people inside
- >Alright, time to go full stealth nigga
- >You jump and try to land on top of the store, but you slip from nerveousness, causing you to fall, grab a ledge and break through the window like a madman
- >Shit
- Be Lyra
- >Running through the streets, almost putting yourself in danger
- >Thankfully visions have yet to curse you
- >You run through, nose bleeding
- >You used your time stopping powers too much, but it doesn't matter
- >Your mother's in danger, and nothing will stop you from stopping the happenning
- >..except your lack of stamina
- >Stop for a moment, breathe Lyra. You need the strength
- >Leaning torwards the wall in an allyway, you grab your compact harp from your backpack
- >You'customized it so much it's an instrument of harmony and chaos. A harp and a bow
- >You look inside your backpack some more
- >No arrows in inventory
- >You sigh'd, but this isn't the end. All you need to do is to reach the convenience store before 7:11
- >Look at your watch. It's 7:10
- >You run like hell.
- >As you reach the store, you hear a glass breaking
- >Shit
- Be Brad
- >You're too cool for the awkwardness so you run away to battle another day.
- >Feeling hungry. I need a corndog.
- >Remember there's a convenience store selling corndogs at cheap prices
- >Bradical
- >You rush on and then you see a ninja running through the rooftops
- >Whoa, thats something you don't see everyday.
- >Suddenly, a faint scream. You couldn't quite make of it though
- >Busy admiring ninja
- >Ninja hears it, goes to investigate
- >Oh crap what's happening
- >You go near the convenience store and hid by the dumpster and see some punks robbing up the cashier
- >On the left, you see Lyra, rushing and sweating
- >On top, you see the ninja, attempting to jump to the roof of the store

- >Shit
