This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"Botany. and biology."

The notion of Aquaman as a superhero makes him chuckle, "He is a superhero. Aquaman. He's a part of the Justice League. A collection of superheroes."

[succored]

"I probably should have guessed that." Ty said offhandedly, before grinning when the scientist let out a chuckle. It was good to know that he had a sense of humor. He'd been a bit nervous, but if he could make him laugh, they should be fine.

"Seriously?" He asked, more amused than anything. "Then he's made good choices. What about you then? Are you a superhero too?"

[houmaprotector]

A...disconcerting take. Still.

"I'm what's considered a metahuman. I don't...it.."

Good job, you've caught Alec embarrassed.


"I serve the interests of the green and protect humans from it. I protect it and them so...I suppose."

[succored]

Was it weird to find an embarrassed metahuman, who looked like he could have easily been out of an 80's monster movie, kind of endearing? Probably, but Ty tried not to laugh, lips quirking up at the edges.

"Thank you then, for your service." Ty said, a bit cheekily, but sincerely enough. After all, he had a vested interest in not falling prey to whatever sort of plants here that could cause him harm. "Do you have a superhero name I should call you by or is it okay to ask for your name?"

[houmaprotector]

"Alec Holland." He nods, "I'm the Swamp Thing." He's a bit nonplussed at that. He doesn't really do secret identities. And he's stopped caring what people think of it.

There's nothing people can do to hurt him for better or worse, "And what do I call you?"

[succored]

"I'll stick with Alec, if that's okay with you? The Swamp Thing sounds a bit too much for my taste." And maybe a bit rude, even if he had been thinking it. It wasn't like calling him an Ent had been any better.

He held out his hand for a handshake, almost by reflex. "I'm Ty Rhodes. It's nice to meet you."
