what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

[greenisnteasy]

Who: The Hulk and you, IF YOU DARE
What: The rampaging Hulk is... you know, rampaging. Feel free to treat this as an open post kind of thing. Team up to battle him if you want, or come in to help rescue someone.
When: Day 50 (from here)
Where: Starting in the town, moving back out into the park (feel free to assume you're pursuing him out there from the town), then he flees into the woods.

There aren't a lot of conscious thoughts in the Hulk's mind right now. The only thing he's sure of is rage -- pure and unadulterated, it flows through him and feeds his strength, feeds his energy, but it's like poison, too. The regular Hulk, the calm one, would prefer rationality over this, but he doesn't have a choice. He doesn't get a choice like Banner, or like any of these other humans. He gets someone pushing Banner's buttons until the Hulk tumbles out mindless and angry and unable to turn it off.

So he'll rage, and he'll smash and destroy until he can bleed the anger out.

He still has some of the gazebo's roof in his hand as he turns around, and he holds it like he's going to use it as a bat to swat at Tattoo Face as he comes forward. He recognizes Tattoo Face -- he does -- and that makes a difference, but he's still in no mood to be told to calm down.

"Go away!"

[reluctantsword]

Wallie takes a step back (he has no desire to get a gazebo roof to the face), but... well, this is Bruce. Sort of, yes and no, he understand that, but all the same.

"Hey, buddy, I'm just worried. Everything okay?"

Obviously not.

[greenisnteasy]

The Hulk growls and steps closer, the ground shaking as he tenses to, yes, gazebo roof Wallie to the face.

"No."

[reluctantsword]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wallie scrambles backwards hastily, looking for something to get in between him and the Hulk. Degrees of the other are not unfamiliar to him, because that's all he and Shonsu are. Maybe the lines between Bruce and the Hulk are a little clearer, but he has a notion that Bruce has gone... deeper... than the last couple of times Wallie met the Hulk.

"Hey. Hey, I'm your friend, remember?"

[greenisnteasy]

Oh, why does he have to ask questions the Hulk knows the answer to? He snorts, scowls, looks away, but then glances back.

"Tattoo Face. Hulk remembers. Hulk wants to be left alone."

[reluctantsword]

Yeah. That's fairly obvious. At any other time Wallie might have found the epithet "Tattoo Face" fairly humorous, and maybe later he will, but right now he has bigger issues than an amusing (if completely accurate) nickname.

"Okay. Okay, I'll leave you alone." He has his hands out in front of him, trying to be reassuring, non-threatening, because despite the part of him that's screaming for a fight, the part that says draw your sword, you can't leave a challenge like this unanswered, he recognises that's a Bad Idea. The last thing this situation needs is Shonsu's brand of kamikaze violence. Better to leave a gazebo as the only victim.

"Just tell me one thing. Anything I need to go check on? Anyone cross your path earlier?"

[greenisnteasy]

The Hulk growls low and long, irritated at the question. He's mad at the people who got in his way, either for being annoying like Stripey Suit, or for coming out of nowhere like that one puny human he hit with the bench. He curls his fist at his side, and then points angrily at the town.

"There."

[reluctantsword]

Wallie nods. That's the way he'll go, then, see if he can do any good there, and hope for the best as far as Bruce and the Hulk go. He gives Hulk a salute -- not sure why, it just seems like the thing to do.

"Enjoy your time alone, then," he calls, and turns to run off in the direction the Hulk had pointed.
