The Hero-ver Part 1 - Amsterdam Morning
"Oh... oh goodness that must have been a bad idea.." Vincent Vernard wakes up on the floor of probably the best suite of an upscale hotel... somewhere. He can see the sky outside-- oh looking towards the light is a mistake. He winces and groans, facing away from the windows and trying to get the lay of where he is. He's next to a king-size bed, and can see out into a living room.

He's not alone.

He sits up and looks back onto the bed. Oh... very not alone.

	Vincent just watches. At this point in the day, he's more fascinated than shocked by anything. "...well come on then..." He sighs to Argo, as they go attempt to extricate Dolemeck from his bird problem. "Go on, shoo! Get out of here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo tried not to chuckle at his poor cousin's misfortunes. And he mostly succeeded. "What I want to know is why we had one of those in our trunk at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once the bird was shoo'ed away from him, Dolemeck gave off a sigh of relief as he looked at his traveling companions. "I know not, Cousin Argo. I also do not know why we have so many dresses in the trunk of the car... or this box of make-up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Maybe it was friends with the tortoise." Vincent shrugs, watching the bird strut off down the street. "We can worry about the contents of the trunk later." He shuts it unceremoniously.

"We need to garb ourselves in more appropriate clothing now. Come." He ushers them across the street to a used clothing store, cash in hand.

As if it were only seconds later, the three emerge, fashionably dressed and looking sharp. However, their moment of poise is interrupted by high-pitched squeals, as a small horde of scantily clad women appear at one end of the block and rush towards them at top speed.

	The entire group proceeds to bypass Argo, two of them actually shoving him out of their way, as they descend upon Dolemeck. "I'm so glad we found you!" "You left so fast last night after your friend won the car!" "You forgot your trophy!" They proceed to shove a trophy for 'Drag Queen of the Year - Amsterdam 2013' at Dolemeck.

Dolemeck's face... turned from red to pale. He honestly had no clue what to say as he had a large trophy thrusted into his arms. He looked so nervous as all of those ladies swarmed him. he stammered for a bit, looking at the trophy, then at the women.

"T-thank you, very much?" he almost squeaked when he talked. "I umm... are you all... fans? if so... I-I am most pleased to meet you."

	Vincent is just doing his best not to burst into laughter, first at Argo getting snubbed, and now at Dolemeck's bewilderment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...What just happened here?" Argo said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I do not know, cousin Argo... but I suddenly feel accepted and... perhaps even attractive." he smiled wide, looking at the "ladies" who brought him his trophy. "I have never felt more loved, accepted, or perhaps attractive in all my life!"

Suddenly, he finds himself getting a sash put on him, along with a tiara. The sash is much like the trophy. It says "Drag Queen of the year- Amsterdam 2013".

"Have I just become royalty?"

A closer look at the throats of the throng of admirers reveals that it's a mixed bunch.

"It's... an achievement." Vincent explains. "Are you familiar with what a drag queen is? It means you were honored for... dressing most convincingly like a woman."

"And could any of you ladies help us piece together the events of last night? My friends and I are a little--- BACK TO THE CAR!" Vincent suddenly yells at Argo and Dolemeck as the royal guard appear at the end of the street.

"Nay, I know what a Drag Queen is, Vincent. I just know I feel suddenly... happy?" Just as Dolemeck was going to ask more about the event he won and what happened, when Vincent order him and Argo to get back into the car. He quickly thanked the "women" around him, bowed humbly, and then took off with his sash, tiara, and trophy into the car. "Wait! I need to know more about this!"

	"We'll find it on YouTube!" Vincent snaps, as the engine roars to life once more. AC/DC comes onto the stereo as he evades the police again. "Argo, look through those receipts from the glove compartment. Where else were we last night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-06-01 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Argo looked at the receipts carefully. "We seem to have visited quite a few bars. Oh, and a strip club." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"S-strip club... I... I saw... naked women?" His eyes went wide as he looked over at Argo and then Vincent. His cheeks were a bright red, and he was hyperventilating a little bit. Okay a whole lot. "Believe it or not... I... I have never seen anyone other than myself naked, before... EVER. And before anyone asks, no! my Mother Venus did not prance about me naked. She always wore her toga."

"You certainly saw enough last night, apparently. To say nothing of myself, Argo, and the number of women in the suite this morni-- WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU STUPID GORGIO!" Vincent screams at a tourist on a scooter, as they nearly strike his car while on their phone. "--this morning.

And I wasn't going to say anything about your mother. Although I typically knew her to favor a sarong over the full toga."

	Argo got a slightly faraway, dreamy look in his eyes. "Ah, the lovely Venus. She has such fantastic..." Realization. "Eyes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-06-02 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, my Mother has such beautiful eyes. I am told mine are just as lovely as hers." So blissfully unaware that Argo was talking about something entirely different. He took off his tiara and placed it by his side. "But in all seriousness... we had naked women in... in our room? Does... does this mean I was deflowered!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"...." Vincent doesn't have the heart to tell Dolemeck what Argo avoided saying. He practically feels he should be tossing a cookie to him for managing that much of a save.

"I... can't say for sure. Our lack of powers suggests something more than just drinking too much being the cause of last night's memory gap. I doubt you were forced into anything you didn't want to do."

	Argo shook his head. "None less than an All-Father or something which befouls all the gods should be able to simply strip such powers from me. I like this not at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"This... no, wait. I was separated from all of you. I was trapped in a bathroom with a giant tortoise. So my chastity must still be intact! As for the two of you... well... not so much." He blinked, placing his hands on the back of Argo's seat and Vincent's as he watched where they were traveling to. "But aye, I am concerned. My powers are far different from the two of you. I know not how I could have been stripped of them, as they were part of a curse that was placed upon me."

	Vincent and Argo just exchange looks briefly, on the matter of 'virtue' and the chronology of it being lost. He then focuses just on Argo. "Is it possible you could have surrendered your godhood, temporarily?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-06-02 01:36 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm..." Argo mused. "Possible, I suppose, though I cannot see why I would." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But if he did that, how would this explain you and I, Vincent?" he raised an eyebrow, finally sitting back as in deep thought. "Unless there is some magic barrier in Amsterdam, we should still be able to use our abilities. But would would be insane enough to put up such a barrier, if there IS one?"
