Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Statue of the Legendary Poster known as Cobalt Kid

<Cobalt is oblivious to back and forth about statues>

Noble citizens, I'll gladly take pictures with you and sign autographs! I only ask that some of you go henceforth and grab me a scotch; splash of water please, no rocks!

And you, young lady. I don't know what race you are, but your purple skin intrigues me.

<crowd gathering>

Ah, see how Statues of Cobalt Kid and Lash Lad bring about goodwill on Legion World? It's not that we saved the universe entirely on our own every time--it's just that we looked so damn good doing it!

[LWG stands several feet away from the statue, observing silently]

/This... Cobalt Kid has a nice enough face, but I get the feeling there's not a whole lot going on underneath it./

[he shrugs, gets out his pocket Omnicom, and writes]

<font face="chalkboard"><span style="font-size: 15px;">A whole lot of city traversed, but still getting nowhere.

It would be easy to give up, just retreat back to Cramer's cafe'. It was peaceful enough there.

But... no. I can't know true peace until I solve the mystery of where I came from, and what my connection to these people is.</font f></span>

/I know who has answers, and where they've gone. So that's where I should be./

[LWG vanishes once more.]

As The Official Cobalt Kid Statue Cleaner of Legion World (see posts 44 and 88 of this thread) I guess I better get busy...

**HIC**

Green Energy washes over the statues

**HIC**

That should do it... anybody needs me I'll be at Shameless Hussies havin a lil drinkie...

I wonner if Lash an Cobie have ever done that in real life???

Hmph. How come Cobie's statue is the only one that's clean? Fat Cramer's is a little dusty, ans mine is positively filthy!

<Exnihilo approaches the statue of the Legendary Poster known as Cobalt Kid, with an evil grin on his face. In his hand, he holds tight to a small brown bag>


Silent voice of the black diamond: ARE YOU PREPARED, MY SERVANT?

Exnihilo: Indeed. This shall be my masterwork of EEEEVIL! The destruction of this symbol of the LMB's heroism shall stand as a harbinger of their impending doom!

Silent voice of the black diamond: FINALLY! AFTER YOUR MISERABLE ATTEMPTS AT EVIL AT CAFE CRAMER AND SHAKES BAR , I HAD FEARED THAT I HAD CHOSEN POORLY... THAT YOU DID NOT POSSESS THE CAPACITY TO WREAK TRUE EVIL UPON THIS WORLD.

Exnihilo: Fear not... with each passing moment, the EEEEVIL grows inside me.

Silent voice of the black diamond: YES! SO HOW SHALL YOU ACCOMPLISH THIS FEAT? A MAGNIFICENT BOMB PLANTED INSIDE? A HEAT RAY TO MELT IT? AN ENORMOUS BEAST SUMMONED FROM THE PITS TO TEAR THE STATUE ASUNDER?

Exnihilo: None of those. I have a far more insidious plan, something I like to call... "The Myron Marks Gambit"!

Silent voice of the black diamond: THE... MYRO...?

Exnihilo <pulling out his brown bag and holding it up dramatically>: YES! Myron Marks... the man famed for his care for the wretched denizens of urban parks... the winged rats known as... pigeons!!!

Silent voice of the black diamond: I DON"T... I'M SORRY... WHAT?

Exnihilo <reaching into the bag, and pulling out a handful of birdseed, he tosses it at the statue>: The methods of destruction you describe are too pedestrian. With this gesture, this symbol will degrade over time... each passing day another step toward the complete degradation of the LMB!

Silent voice of the black diamond: I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Exnihilo <continuing to toss birdseed>: Can you not see the genius at work here, black diamond? Soon... flocks of pigeons will arrive to consume this seed. The very skies will turn black with their numbers. Within mere hours the natural consequence of their consumption will be... their waste! Thousands of birds will begin to befoul this monument to heroism and... over time... the corrosives therein will wear away at the statue... just as the morale of the LMB will be worn away at our reign of terror!

Silent voice of the black diamond: SIGH...YOU KNOW, I FEAR THAT "EVIL" MAY NOT BE YOUR CALLING.

Exnihilo <laughing as he continues to toss birdseed>: Mwah haHA! Mwah haHA! EEEEEEVIL!!!

Silent voice of the black diamond: YOU DO REALIZE IT'S NOVEMBER, DON'T YOU? THE BIRDS HAVE ALREADY FLOWN SOUTHWARD FOR THE SEASON.

Exnihilo <not hearing the diamond as he continues to toss birdseed>: EEEEVIL! Mwah hahahaha! EEEEEEVIL!!!

Rond went for a walk through the park after his coffee.

He saw hundreds of pigeons surrounding a statue.

" ugh that's disgusting. They're like rats with wings. Legionworld is going down hill. Maybe it's time to take the time bubble back to the old days when villains had Os at the end of their names and we wore our underwear over our tights."

Bloody Liberty!

Someone tricked the pigeons into returning in the middle of Flying Lemur season! The Lemurs are irritable and killing all the pigeons!

That handsome statue has turned red from the pigeon guts! Now it matches my new costume!

Want me to change your statue's colors? How about pine green, bgztlian blue, maybe polka dot pluberry?

It's so sweet of you to wear the costume that I worked so hard to make

Poppin' Planets!

That's a rather self-indulgent statue in the middle of Legion World. In my old days, I'd have assurenly bombed it.

Ah well. Those days are over. And I'd feel guilty about the Lemurs.

Wait, wait, wait... I didn't realize the pigeons were being killed! We have to do something! I can't believ... *gasp*

Alas, poor feathered friends

I hate pigeons ... I saw some pigeons fighting over a fried chicken leg in the street once.

Who knew Flying Lemurs favorite food was pigeon head?

A lot of Chinese restaurants here serve fried pigeon. anyone want any?

No.

*gets the high explosive ready for old times' sake*

I hope the nose doesn't land on me.

Cobie's statue was going feature in the ending of Planet of the Apes, but the directors changed their mind at the last minute.

"We vant to show vere ze apes came from, not vere zey ver going," said Director Brain-In-A-Can before being escorted to accent therapy by his auteur assistant, Mallah.

Better than the...er...something else falling on you.

Oh, the something else isn't very big so I'm not too worried
