Abnormal Norman 7 - WE FORGOT WEAPONS
______________________________________

Be Norman
>Waking up to the morning sun on a Saturday morning
>Nothing better than this
>Well, with the possible exception of waking up next to Aryan Beauty
>Yeah, that would be great, just me, her and our comfy bed
>Before you could daydream about morning sex, Brad calls you from the phone
>"NORMAN, YOU NEED TO COME TO MY HOUSE" he said in a hurry
>"Dude, I am not gonna give you morning head" you said with a laugh
>"NO MAN, SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT! WE ARE TALKING BIG THINGS"
>"Alright, alright" 
>You went off the bed, did your morning routine, and head off outside
>Walking down the streets, you bump into Applehat, who seems to be distressed
>"Applehat!"
>"Oh, Norman"
>"Where have you been all week?"
>"It's mah family farm, see"
>Apparently, Applehat's whole farm has been sacked by a bunch of unknown apple assailants, 
>She's been helping the family clean up the destroyed trees and branches, as well as Granny Smith, who suffered a short stroke
>"It's really stressing, I mean, that's most of our family's business, stolen by some no good rotten-"
>"Alright, I get it"
>"Sorry"
>"Listen, is there any way I can help? Maybe I could visit later"
>"That would be really sweet Norman"
>You both bid your farewells, and she went off to ask the girls their weekends off to help out
>Walking away, you can't help but be depressed by what she went through the whole week
>Guess I'm not the only one with one hell of a weird week
>You arrive at Brad's place, and Brad pulls you inside
>"NORMAN! YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU!"
>Oh crap, please don't let it be drunk Aryan on his bed
>He opens the door to his room, revealing the surprise of Norman's life
>Sunovabitch
>It's a new costume, made as if a professional made it
>It's an dark orange catsuit, complete with line paterns and stripes
>Look at that subtle off-green coloring. The untasteful thickness of it
>Oh my God, it even has a trademark
>"Brad...where the hell did you find the time to make this"
>"Dude, I didn't make this"
>"You had Aryan do this?"
>"No man, I knew some guys in the cosplay industry, besides, Aryan doesn't even know about this"
>You look at it as if it were a uniform. You don't know whether you would laugh or take this seriously
>"And here's your mask!"
>He hands you a ski-mask sewed with a green beanie on top of it
>"Dude...this thing doesn't have eyeholes"
>"Don't you have super sight or something, man?"
>"I'm not Daredevil, Brad"
>"Just put holes in it then"
>Putting the mask down, you confront Brad about the promise you made with Purple, as well as her findings about the ring
>"OH, COME ON, MAN" he says in disappointment
>"After all we've been through?"
>"Brad, we've only done this vigilante thing once, and it nearly got us killed
>"BUT THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T UNLOCKED YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL! I mean, didn't you feel good when you saved Granny Smith from getting mugged, or Lyra and her hot mother?"
>As you try to talk sense into Brad, you see in his laptop a list of gangs and unsolved crimes
>"Brad, what have you been up to?"
>You scroll down on the site as Brad explains how your debut should go
>"Bro, I was thinking, if we were to strike fear into the criminal's arteries, we should take down a whole gang!"
>You look in the direction of your costume, saying "Yeah, with those, they'd shiver in fear"
>Rolling your eyes back to the monitor, you found Brad's highlighted article, featuring the "East Side Lemons"
>"What's up with these guys?"
>"They're the closest gang the city has" Brad said.
>"So what do these guys do anyway?"
>"The usual. Plunder, pillage, mostly harassing restaurants and the farmer's markets"
>Thinking to yourself, this could be where Applehat's stuff had gone to. It's a longshot, but you'd be willing to risk anything for a good friend like her
>You sighed deeply, and told Brad "FINE, we're doing this thing"
>"BRADICAL" he yells in excitement
>"So...where can we find these guys?"
>Brad stops doing his happy dance to say "No idea"
>"So you plan on taking out a gang with me without a single clue on where their hideout could be?"
>He was left blank with answers
>You look back at the monitor to inspect upon amateur footage of the gang members
>You recognize their vests. IT's the same one those thugs used at the alleyway by the hobo, as well as the guys at the convenience store
>"I think I know where to look"
>"Really? BRADICAL!"
>He runs towards his drawer to reveal that he had a new costume made
>YOu look at it, dumbfounded. It's a blue suit with a custom belt and a grey cape. His mask seems to be a generic eye mask similar to [spoiler]/co/nrad[/spoiler]
>Slowly looking down, you see that he even has the grey underwear outside
>Goddammit Brad. We'll be the laughing stock of the month

Be Lyra
>Tis be a regular cursed Saturday.
>You see visions of things occurring, mostly inside the city. You could see violence, good samaritans, cheating men and helping citizens in these visions
>A few days being cursed, you realize that you only get random visions 4-5 times a day. 
>You just wish you could control the whole thing in case you get one in the middle of the road
>Feeling depressed, you decide to play your instrument
>"Ave Maria" should be nice
>As you play, the melody calms your head, and your eyes start to blacken
>"Another vision" you told yourself
>But this time, it's different. It's as if you have better, clearer control over the vision
>Playing the harp slower, you could at least see better on whatever the vision is showing you
>It looks familiar, as if you've seen this before
>It's raining. A small alley way with a door on the right. A garbage bin by the front. Yeah. You remember this
>It's from the vision you had after you toyed with your powers*
[spoiler]*As Seen in #6   -Dan[/spoiler]
>Nothing's happening so far, just an empty alle-
>OH SHIT
>Some guy fell from the roof to the garbage bin
>The guy tries to get up, but a second one jumps right in
>The first guy holds his crotch while the second one jumps to the ground, feeling pumped
>They seem to be in superhero tights...is that Brad and Norman?
>The two seems to argue over something, then proceeds to kick the door as the vision ends
>"Oh god, they're gonna bust a gang up"
>You're actually more concerned over losing the ring than those two idiot's well being
>Even though you have no idea when the whole thing would happen, you decide to go out anyway
>It starts to rain, you proceed to grab your hooded jacket, your bag, your bow-harp and a bunch of homemade arrows for protection
>You open the door, and to your surprise, Octavia was there
>"T-TAVI!?"
>"Lyra! I was about to knock...haha"
>"What are you doing here?"
>"Listen, I know you've been having a stressful day, but you can't keep ignoring your friend's calls
>"Calls?"
>"You never got them?"
>"I-I must have had my phone on silent"
>"Oh...well listen, I was thinking that you should join us for a girl's night out. It could be f-"
>"Sorry Tavi, not today"
>You grab your bike and you head on to the alley site
>Tavi looks at you with worry
>"What is up with you, Lyra?"

Be Norman
>Jumping from one rooftop to another
>Looking back, Brad can't seem to keep up
>"D-DUDE" he says, clutching at the ledge 
>"Brad, you don't have to do this" you tell him, pulling him up
>"Hey, if Robin never gave up as Batman's lackey, and I'm sure as hell ain't gonna give up now
>"That's because they're fictional characters"
>"So where is this hobo informant you told me about"
>"First off, he's not an informant. He's just a witness I met last night"
>"Why did you even meet with a hobo last night?
>"Because shut up, Brad"
>You and Brad climb down from the small building to meet up with the Hobo
>The hobo looks in shock, saying
>"I'm about to get laid, aren't I?"
>"What? No!"
>The hobo looks in confusion "So this isn't a sex thing?"
>You put your palm by your face, and talked to the guy
>"L-look, we just want to ask you some questions. Do you know these guys?"
>You show the hobo a picture of the gangs wearing the East Side Lemons vests
>"Yeah man, I've seen these guys. They kept stealing mah beer and shit"
>"Can you tell us where their hideout is?"
>The hobo looks in the distance, and says "I'm not sure where they're hiding, but I do know the lots of them hang out by the alley near the Cider Pub"
>You proceeded to thank the hobo and gave him 5 bucks for good faith
>"Come on, Brad" You tell your friend as you climb up the roofs again
>"Seriously? Why can't we just walk on the ground like normal people?
>"Brad...do we look like we're dressed normal? Stop being lazy and come on"
>"Ugh" Brad said while attempting to climb with you
>"For the record, this is still your idea" you remind him

>You and Brad run through the rooftops under the rain
>"So what got you so inspired all of the sudden?" Brad asked 
>"One minute you were all "hurr Purple durr dangerous" and now you're practically excited to kick ass"
>You look at Brad while walking on the roof of the supposed hideout
>"Look, Applehat's family got ransacked by some goons, and we could really help them if we had at least an idea on where the apples could have gone"
>"So you think this gang has the apples?"
>"Well, either that or they know who has them"
>"You're a good man Norman"
>"I try to"
>You and Brad look down from above
>"This is one tall building. How are we gonna get down?" Brad asks
>"We could use that big garbage bin as landing"
>"Great Idea!" and Brad proceeds to kick you off the building
>"WHOOOA FUCK"
>You land safely on the garbage bin with your butt in pain
>"BRAD YOU ASSH-"
>Before you could finish, Brad jumps in, yelling "GERONIMOOOO"
>Brad lands directly on you as his ass hits your  lower regions
>"GRAH, GET OFF ME" you tell him as you push him off of the bin
>"THAT WAS AWESOME! LET'S DO IT AGAIN"
>You hold your crotch in pain as you cuss at Brad 
>"Oh man, this is it" Brad says in excitement "Our first official BUST!"
>"Fine, let's get on with this, and fast"
>"Wait, we still don't have super hero names!"
>"Seriously, Brad? Look, we can discuss this later, Commander Underwear"
>Brad strokes his chin as he ponders on the name you gave him
>"Yeah..that's a cool name for me" He says
>"Brad, it's locked"
>"Don't worry man, I'll just kick it down"
>Brad proceeds to kick the door, only for his foot to get stuck at the hole he made
>"What the hell?"
>Brad tries to take his foot off but he slips on a puddle and the door separates from its locks
>"Shit, the door's stuck on my foot"
>"Just try to get it off"
>You went inside to investigate. It seems abandoned at first.
>Walking further inside, you see a list of several families, Applehat's residence in it
>"Well what do we have here?"
>You turn to the left as you see a group of five guys, holding bats and a nunchucku
>"Looks like we gots ourselves a witness, boys" the man in the middle says
>You look at Brad by the doorway, still trying to break the door for his foot
>Lightning flashes as you ready your fighting stance
