Spoiler:
Piper had been rocking in her chair with her eyes closed tightly as her wrists turned in small circles. Her motions had provided an undercurrent of rhythm to the suited man's words, a small chorus of clinks and clanks emphasizing the beats to each sentence. There was something about his voice she found soothing. It calmed her demons and smoothed the ruffles of her brain. Lord Almighty I wish I could sing like him...maybe if I had his vocal chords...?

Once he stopped talking, she halted her private metallic musical but strangely found she wasn't disappointed. In fact she found that she reveled in the silence. The fog of her mind was lifted, if only marginally and she could see the weight of his words.

Her dark eyes drift open and wander upward until they met his. Whispering warmly under her breath she addresses him. "Thy friendship makes us fresh. And doth beget new courage in our breasts."
She offers her arms in his direction and gently uncurls one of her clenched fists palm up while the other points down past the table. "Give me a bloody pen and I'll lend you me legs." she utters baring her smile that shows off as many teeth as she can.


Piper splits her time between stalking Kalden and listening to Demoniac's chatter. She'll most often keep her distance from Kalden but never really puts much effort into hiding. Though her manner and body movements are sluggish from her daily medication she does her best to keep up.Occasionally he might hear her whisper to herself in between biting her nails bloody. She'll leave gifts every so often in his room(if we have access to cells) or outside it. Extra rations of half chewed food or a tooth. But the pièce de rèsistance would be have to be the small red fingerpaint mural on his wall, no doubt made using her poor injured fingers.

Otherwise she spends the next three days listening to Lance chat with Jimmy offering tidbits of odd info whenever the conversation roams in the direction of her expertise. She always eyes the non human cellmates like a cat views a bird on a low hanging branch. Sometimes she stays up too late listening to the tireless speak of her comrades and falls asleep leaning against one of them.


Piper suddenly looks up from her makeshift sausage and toast structure she'd occupied herself with since the tigerman's exit. She'd been considering the tentacled hell spawn's posturing on immortality via poetry and felt words were completely. insufficient for her own rebuttal. Food towers seemed FAR more appropriate.

He knows breakfast. Do meals know him? Does he know how to serve man?

This Jackson-Pollock-like train of thought awakens an old ache in her causing her to
unconciously chew on a lock of her own hair. Piper groggily addresses the man with a worse accent than her own, her hand lifting slowly above her head as if through molasses.

"Well hand to Jaysus I don't deserve to be in here! I'm just a wee bird. Them fellas ate their own selves up. ALL gobbled down...."
Her eyes seem to be looking straight through Rick.


A sense of clarity seems to momentarily sober Piper as she watches the Tyger-man and his companions depart. Ignoring the stolen tray, she winces at Jimmy's haunting info dump and it's disturbing implications. Her face scrunches up as his words seem to dislodge some kernel of poetry from deep within her drugged out mind.

"What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
,she asks the universe, slithering out from under the table uncertainly, before facing the strange group seated there.


Piper gives an audible squeal as another tray of supplies are delivered to her. Taking it from the scruffy man, her brain makes a considerable but brief effort to decipher Kalden's contrarian actions.

He ruins my feck'n work...but gives me another shot to try again. Maybe he didn't do it to be a shite. Does he just want me to make it better than it was? Could he be...my muse?

She takes the tray from the side he's holding, briefly brushing his hand and giggling slightly before pulling it under. Returning to her work with a renewed vigor she almost doesn't hear Jimmy's question considers it open to the whole table.

"Does it have a sad ending?" , she asks quietly deep into her task."Those are the best kind of stories. "


As soon as her hand is free of Jimmy's grasp her hand moves to Lance and flexes her fingers open and closed.

" I wasn't the one who slamed the table. Less talk, more bacon."

When the tray is placed on it, she pulls it under the table, whispers a soft "Thank you." and the squishing resumes..


The sounds of scratching/squishing food from under the table ceases after the Sudden jolt. After a beat, Piper's small pale hand reaches up from underneath, her hand offered in greeting.

"Me name is Piper and I CAN bloody well die, so I in this place I try and keep as many eyes off me as I can help. I haven't been cooped up this long since I was a young lass."

Her fingers flex open expectantly, Palm up.

"More Bacon grease, please."


A soft voice carrying an Irish lilt comes from underneath table where the group sits.

"Guards don't talk. They like to watch. They touch with their eyes. Even in the feck'n dark."

For anyone who looks, Piper sits crossed legged in a partial cow face yoga pose, near the empty underside of the table, picking away at the metal structure with her fingernail. Her hands moving across the bottom of the table, squishing food in various patterns in an effort to recreate a stuffy painting by Pissaro. Her baggy dark eyes eventually break from their own little world to meet the nearest persons and she lifts a kiwi seed covered finger to her lips before whispering,

"No touching."
She then returns her wide eyes to her artistic efforts.


Sorry! Plan on posting tonight. Just figuring out the mechanics. Is my limit for how many points I put into an alternate power the combined number of power points of the linked powers plus the extras?


Piper Doyle O'brian is the lesser known daughter of Patrick "Eel" O'Brien. Supposedly one of many illegitimate daughters of the Hero known as Plastic Man(who has recently gone missing). To her knowledge she is the only one who obtained any measure of her fathers formidable powers.

She's usually under 5' tall with stocky legs legs but overall is fairly petite. Outside of prison she's usually wearing a thin lipped grimace with a piercing blue eyed gaze. Her onyx black hair is long everywhere but the right side of her head which is shaved. Her body posses a light sheen to it like its made of plastic, a trait she inherited from her father. Ears are covered in piercings, her nose has three studs(not in prison obv)and her cheeks are flecked with freckles. She's missing her ring finger on her left hand.

Her costume is Comprised of a dark red and dim rusted bronze colored high-tech body suit and light goggles that provided into her surroundings and s new method of movement. It also consists of a multiple interweaving deep copper & black strips of connected fabric, a deep Crimson hood/layered poncho Esque-cape with raggedy edgies , & fingerless gloves. The costume is able to stretch with her, even to her greatest extremes and was scrapped together from her deadbeat father's super suit. It's relatively light on accessories as they would really only get in the way of her work.

She has committed numerous robberies(almost exclusively high art from museums or private collections), countless break-ins, a few assaults, multiple counts of evading arrest, two outstanding parking tickets. and an ex husband with a restraining order. While she may not seem like A dangerous entity, and it's true that the majority of her escalated incarceration is in part due to her CONSTANTLY escaping confinement, she comes out of the corner swinging. Often times the leavesher would be captors in complete agony and totally debilitated.

Her normal cell is spartan and airtight and completely lacks oxygen, But that particular aspect is not necessarily a detriment since she doesn't need to breathe. However when she does managed to escape her cell if not the inner facility she's being kept in, she's eventually caught and brought to heel by being forced between two panes of bulletproof glass. A metal frame holds them together keeping her squished between them. Often times she makes sure to flip the bird or two before being trapped. A constructed wheeled rig allows them to move her with relative ease and safety.

She's not a particularly brave person, though she possesses a rebellious spirit. She can often be described as having more bark than bite and is much more in favor of running or avoiding combat . But when the scape it's not an option she lashes out like a cornered animal. Her sense of self preservation is high and she is fairly selfish. She works just fine with others though And actually prefers to be on a team. She has no qualms with others taking the lead and her filling a particular niche. She has a Crude & dark/morbid sense of humor which is usually accompanied by a snort or two. Despite this unfriendly aspect of her personality she enjoys art to the point obsession and can usually tell you the date, style, medium and artist. Her mother had been an artist herself before she passed, imparting with her daughter the significance of such expression. Perhaps such a lesson taught by the only person who ever loved her, would become a driving force in her life efforts. She would have phrases were she would become intrigued with a certain style or artist and steal those works exclusively. In fact she treats her self like a canvas/sculpture in some ways by mimicking the movements of the works that caught her focus. She often incorporates her She has a slight creepy vibe to her. Which could either be slinking calculated movements or her almost husky accented monotone, or just an unhinged hunger in her eyes. Either way, being around her for too long can prove an unsettling affair.

If I had to cast her as someone, it would be Ms. Aubrey Plaza. ;3
