Secret Diary - Keep Out! Game 3

15/1/2022
Well I suck.
Yeah, I was pissed off, and I still am, but apparently not only is the Dandy the Dolls father, but Jenny Sparks is her mother – and that’s who I ratted her out to. Only found out after I put her a letter in her locker and she DM’d back. She offered to have me go over to her house to look at data but I just said I was busy… not looking forward to seeing her again.
It still sucks though! Even more than just being a high while on her own, it was a new drug on the scene and they tend to be cut with the worst stuff. Even Impulse didn’t take any (though I thought she might have been forced to in order to keep up the charade).
I had a nightmare about Ami last night.

We got dragged to the Hunter Natural History Museum today on a school trip and apparently the same one as the middle schoolers as well since I spied the Doll from afar – still avoiding her though so kept my distance and snuck off to look at the dinosaurs.
I was starting to consider teleporting random bones around to make up my own dinosaur when the lights suddenly went off and there was the sound of crashing glass. Pulled out my cell phone and used it to light my way, finding a security guard down and turned to stone, presumably from something downstairs. I started sneaking my way down but quickly realised I wasn’t the only one since AJ began barrelling down the other side, which did mean that he was acting as a great distraction for the Creeping Terror who was the one seeming to guard the entry to the museum, and I was able to teleport the (probably priceless) sarcophagus onto his head and knocking his helmet off… but the moment I did that he turned and reached a hand out towards me and I felt myself being siphoned off, making me feel weaker and weaker until Impulse appeared from behind and knocked him out. I have no idea what he did to me, even now, but I still feel sick… thank god for Impulse, no idea where AJ went.
We snuck down towards the Atlantean exhibit as we could hear voices arguing in that direction (joined by the Doll and Velocity), when we entered we could see a load of broken displays and artefacts lying around (pissed me off a little since that was my history they were destroying … even if it was boring) with a dude dressed as a bard with a fricking lute in his hand (the Minstrel), a woman with loads of colours around her (Colour Queen), and finally some creepy sexy woman (Alchemistress) who I’d heard of before and was probably the one who turned that security guard to lead.
We started to do our thing, grabbing a cracked horn from the ground which seemed to be what they were arguing about. Glancing down it said “Beware the Dread Destructus who hears only this horn” which freaked me out and I threw it away from them as hard as I could before diving in and nicking the guys lute. In all the chaos the Alchemistress started making her way out towards where I had chucked the horn so I bailed – grabbing the horn and teleporting away as often and far as I could.
Back out in the open outside the museum things were… not well. There was a load of raid sirens and rumbling and the air defence grid came up and started firing at an enormous winged shape in the sky, plus a load of flying supers headed towards it.
Guessing it had something to do with the horn I just decided to blow on it to see what would happen… and it definitely had a reaction! There was a roar from above and a huge dragon creature with multiple heads ended up plummeting towards me. Not… what I was hoping to happen and even though I kept teleporting it was definitely following me!
The others had cleaned up the freaks at the museum by this point and one of the old heroes turned up to airbag at them and deal with the aftermath (since we hadn’t been entirely kind to all the exhibits), so when I messaged to say that I had a dragon following and asked if I could keep it (impulse said yes) they got on the case, or at least the doll certainly was as she started researching it.
Turns out it was indeed Dread Destructus (cute name) and it was there to defeat anyone that the summoner asked it to. At this point, and pretty shattered from the constant teleporting, I headed over to the docks and then when it came close I shouted at it to go kill a shark, which lead to it diving into the water, rather than killing me.
Apparently there was a way to unsummon it which was to blow the correct tune on the horn, so while the Doll was researching that it flew back out of the water and started to go after AJ since he’d just arrived. I panicked and shouted at it to kill a starfish. I thought I was a goner since it turned to me and started to speak, saying that such pray was meagre and beneath it, even as the blood from the huge shark in its jaws dripped into the water. It asked for bigger opponents but I asked it to kill a single starfish while I worked out who to set it against, and yet again it dived into the water, returning with a dead starfish the size of a car just as the Doll managed to sent through the tune to unsummon it and I managed to play it… and it was gone.
The day wasn’t even over then! Apparently Velocity and AJ had come across “Princess Silverwing” who was wanting to talk to the nice dragon, free it and ask it to help her go home. Was a bit nervous about it but we did agree to meet her at the hideout once we’d hidden the horn. She seemed super naïve (I mean, who else would follow someone else they just met to a secluded warehouse to meet their “friends”!) and I did recognise her (Alison from Class A), also seems to have pissed of AJ as he just went home rather than deal with her again. When she asked about the dragon I just said that I didn’t trust her since we’d only just met her. She was from the world of Avalon, and the kingdom of Asguard, with only a magic sword, and ancient tome and some spells. Pretty odd, and definitely don’t trust her but she could be useful at some point I guess, as long as she’s not acting like a pompous idiot.
We’ve still got the horn hidden away, not sure what to do with it, but for now I’m hoping we keep it – might come in useful.
