"Norman"
 
>An echo goes through my ears
>It calls me
 
"Norman"
 
>It mocks me as I look left and right
>It taunts me
 
"Norman"
 
>A small light shines from behind
>I look back
>It looks so beautiful in a place of darkness
 
"Norman ~"
 
>The light shows a figure. Something human
>It has the features of a female. Her eyes shine brighter than the sun
>She comes closer for every second that comes by. A chill goes through my spine
>A melody accompanies me as I stare on
 
""????N??????o???????r????????m?a???n??"???????"
 
>Her hand caresses my right cheek
>Her body glows without strong colors
>Her eyes reveal my face. I am a skeleton with flesh.
>She gives out a demonic smile
>Whispering...

-NORMAN!-
 
-GAH-
 
Be Norman
>Woke up from a good night's sleep. Noticed the ring on my finger
>"Purple, what happened?"
>She looks tired, somewhat disappointed
>"I...I couldn't find any references, at least not now" she said "I'm sorry"
>You comfort her, telling her it's alright
>"It's alright Purple. We have all the time in the world for this"
>"tsk"
>Lyra wanders around, obviously disappointed of the situation
>"I thought this was it. The thing I was looking for so I can return to my home"
>Purple returned to the desk to pack her notes in the bag
>"Well" Lyra said "Why don't we find something to lift our spirits up"
>She turns on the television, showing the nightly news show
>NEWS REPORTER: THE SCIENTISTS AND THE AUTHORITIES REFUSE TO COMMENT ON THE SITUATION.
>"Hey, it's...another meteor"
>"I-isn't that the city park?"
>"Just like in my vision"
>NEWS REPORTER: WHILE OUR SOURCES ARE A BIT OF A BLUR, THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE POLICE HAVE ARRESTED ONE CIVILIAN NAMED BRAD SENTRY, WHO, ACCORDING TO OUR SOURCE, WAS ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED TAMPERING OF THE SCENE
>"WHAT!?" Everyone in the room but Lyra said
>The news camera pans to Brad at the back of a police car, confused as hell
>"W-what should w-we do?"
>You thought for a moment
>"Alright, I'll go and sneak around, try to eavesdrop in the police department, you guys try to talk to the police about Brad"
>Flutters starts to pack her things in her bag. Purple rushes outside and waits for Flutters there
>"Lyra, you'll be my sentry"
>You input your number in her phone and threw it at her
>"You stay outside of the precinct, and tell me if you get a vision or something weird's happening"
>Lyra puts out a loud sigh said "Fine..."
>Lyra walks out to get a spot outside the police precinct
>"W-wait, why couldn't we just simply ask the p-police about why they arrested Brad?"
>"I'm not going there to inquire about Brad. That's you and Purple's job. I'm there to get information about the meteor and any scientists' findings on it"
>"Oh, okay"
>Flutters rushes out to accompany Purple
>"O-oh, I almost forgot to refill Angel's water bottle"
>Flutters enters through the kitchen and refilled the bottle
>When she exits through the living room, she catches a glimpse of shirtless Norman, changing to his hero suit
>Flutters blushes, looking at Norman's muscles. His built body turns her whole face
>His side-abs was too much for the innocent Flutters, and runs out in a flash, extremely embarrassed and aroused
 
 
Be Brad
Police Precinct, 15 minutes after Flutters got wet
>WHAT THE HELL?
>I END UP IN JAIL FOR SOMETHING I NEVER GOT TO STEAL
>You bang your head on the wall, panic spreads through your stomach
>"You must be Brad"
>You look by the side of the interrogation room to see a scientist, circling you and the table
>"Hey, listen man, I don't know why I'm here"
>"Oh, I'm pretty sure you know why" the smug bastard tells you
>"Look man, I'm telling you, I don't know why I'm here"
>The scientist taunts you, saying that lying is an offence under this "sacred place"
>Obviously he's scaring you, but you tell this guy anything, for you knew little of why you're even here
>"Kid, just tell us where it is and I'll make sure you'll get out of here as soon as possible"
>"I don't even know what 'it' is!"
>The scientist gets his phone to talk with his associates
>"He won't talk"
>The man walks out to talk in private.
>You thought to yourself and deduced that they're trying to find the artifact that was 'rightfully yours'
>"if only I had...whatever that is I could have escaped" you tell yourself
 
Be Lyra
>Norman's inside from the roof, sneaking about
>Twi and Flutters are at the front desk, inquiring about Brad
>And you're just here buying peanuts from a street vendor, waiting for a happening or something
>Suddenly, a vision. Your head aches as usual
>...
>False alarm, it's just about a cat in an alleyway getting run over by a police car
>Driver's either drunk or scared, based on its face
>You discard it as another unrelated vision to this current event
>Another bloody, goddamn death vision
>I hate this life.
>...
>Oh wait, something more to the vision
>Let's see, people screaming, lots of property damage, lame.
>A bright light in the shape of a woman floats through, emitting some sort of sonic waves
>Cracks through the ground indicates a possible earthquake
>The vision ends
>...interesting
 
Be Norman
>Sneaking through the vents, as Batman would have
>"Arkham probably had a fetish for airvents" you joked to yourself
>You go from room to room, looking for any one worth eavesdropping to
>...police talking about the eyecandy calendars, ...a bunch of guys working on their computer
>Ahh, here. A scientist
>He's talking on the phone. Time to ear up
 
>>"...Look, I can't get him to talk. I don't know if he's lying or telling the truth"
>>>"I don't care what you do, just get him to talk before the officers release him for "not having an arrest warrant", speaking of which, has the boy talked about getting a lawyer or something?"
>>"No, fortunately. The guy doesn't know shit about these loopholes. So, any luck with the meteor specimen?"
>>>"Nothing. It's all rock, same as the last one
>>"Damn. All this funding to find outworld beings, WASTED"
>>>"Don't worry, we have good news for you. We ran some background checks on the kid. Turns out he's from Canterlot High"
>>"And?"
>>>"It's the same school, same location as to where most of our foreign readers point out as positive"
>>"So this kid DOES know something. You think he's been collecting?"
>>>"I'm gonna have to request more time to question this kid"
 
>The scientist walks away, heading straight to the restroom
>Perfect
>You crawl your way to the restroom in the vent
>You see him at his most vulnerable, no police too.
>YOU LEAP AT YOUR PRAY FROM THE CEILING VENT
>The scientist tries to scream but you covered his mouth immediately and bumped his noggin at a wall
>He tries to talk
>"OH MPPHGOD DON'T WRECK MY BEAUTIFUL ANUS PLEASE"
>Great, another guy who thinks he's about to get raped by a masked man from nowhere
>From behind, you begin to interrogate him, while moving near the toilet in case he needs some more...intimidation
>"Now, I want to know what you want with the guy with the blue hair" you say in a disguised, deep voice
>"I-I CAN'T TELL"
>The scientist tries to struggle free but he's no match for your ring's power
>"So, I presume you want your arm broken or your leg?"
>"P-PLEASE, I CANT T-TELL ANYTHING. I'D BE DEAD.."
>You try your hardest to intimidate him with words, and toilets
>He cries, literally shitting himself. The guy can't really talk about this. Have to rethink this through
>C-can I go now?
>You knock the man out with a punch out of short panic
>You get your phone to call Lyra
>"Lyra, you there?"
>"...Oh hey Norman"
>"Lyra, I have a guy who needs some more interrogating, how do you suppose I do it"
>"...We bring him to Flutter's place"
>"AND HOW, do you suppose we do that? We're in a police precinct for chris-
>"Leave that to me"
>She hangs up. I wonder how she...GAHK!
>MY CROTCH, UUUNFFFF. WHAT THE FUCK
>IT'S LIKE SOMEONE JUST KICKED IT FOR NO REAS-holy shit the scientist's gone
>You get your phone while your other hand comforts your testicles
>"LYRA, YOU THERE, ahh god..."
>"Hey Norman. The guy's just inside the dumpster by the alley beside the precincts"
>"H...how did you?"
>"That's my secret, now get out of there so this guy could replace Twilight as our 'expert' "
>"How exactly are you gonna sneak the dumpster out of there? Loads of police officers could get suspicious of that"
>"Don't worry. The dumpster has wheels, plus we have an earthquake and confused citizens to distract them"
>"...WAIT WHAT?!?"
>"LYRA WHAT EARTHQUAKE?"
>"Yeah...good luck with that, and her"
>"WHAT HER?"
>she hung up
>Damn. Was she joking about that? An earthquake? Seriously?
>You climb up the vent to get back the rooftops
>As you crawl, you hear some men rushing to the windows
>You kept hearing something, about a light flashing through the city
>Your phone rings once more
>It's Purple
>"Norman, where are you?"
>"About to go to the rooftops, why?"
>"You better hurry. Something's happening outside"
>Time passed by for a few seconds
>You finally crawled out, and lo and behold, you saw it
>Through the clear dark night, a light shines through one particular location
>In the middle of the road, a light floats up
>You see car accidents happening everywhere, people bumping into each other
>The light looks familiar, as if you've seen her from somewhere
>The light slowly turns into something familiar. A female figure
>Her eyes glows bright, and looks around
>She opens her mouth, and then there was a moment of silence
>For the next ten seconds, nothing can be heard.
>At the eleventh second, all hell breaks lose
>Oh god
>The sound of her loud screech was deafening.
> Her voice has made soundwaves that makes the city shake and it's glass break
>She laughs, in a sinister way
>"Norman!, Norman!"
>Purple was still on the phone.
>Chaos reigned on the streets out of confusion
>Lyra was taking advantage of it and took the dumpster out of the alley.
>You take the phone and talked to Purple
>"~aaahhahaha" the woman of the light laughed, sending chills
>Why does she have to be right? Dammit Lyra
>"Norman?" Purple said on the phone
>"We have to move. Now."
