Now that would be interesting!

Is Sylph up for it?

[stmercy2020]

Well, not intentionally ;)- have you got any idea how much those things cost?  And this was supposed to be a fund-raiser… ;D

  And this was supposed to be a fund-raiser… ;D

How about having her deliberately destroying a car/truck? Imagine some arrogant showoff who just likes to insult girls and badmouth everyone go to that car wash. Because one girl accidentally bumps into his side mirror with her hips, he drives over her foot (or does something else mean). He is know to the police as rowdy and troublemaker so Sylph gets away with it. Hmmm – how about an armored van (like those money transports?)

Hm.  Well, it's kind of not the right tone for Sylph as I see her.  Not that she wouldn't be capable, but her world just doesn't have that dark a flavor to it.  It might be something I'd do in a story set outside the current continuum.  I'll have to think about it…

Some of the heavier duty stuff – like folding up an armoured truck or upending an artic – might be more suitable for an exhibition.

Perhaps she could put on a show and sell tickets. Maybe get a sponsor?

I'm sure there's lots of things she could do that would impress the crowd.

I know she'd impress me! 🙂

I like it, I like it!  Look, a way for her to wreck stuff and make money doing it!  ;D

Cute story, and fun, as always.

I like the idea of trashing a big fat jerk's pickup truck or SUV, but (1) truly, that's just not Sylph, and (2) it's already been done.;-P

However, I remember something from my college days for charity or student organizations during our Homecoming weekend:  a CAR SMASH! 

The idea:  a junkyard contributes an old beater that still looks decent on the outside.  Then the organization grabs a sledgehammer, pick axe, adz, some safety goggles, and a sign:  "BASH A CAR!  Three Swings for a Buck!"

Of course those are 1991 prices, but hey, set the price to what's reasonable.  Folks would come along, pay the cash, and demolish the thing one smack at a time.

What I've got percolating… the Student Org's Car Smash is going a bit slow since customers trashed the lights and windows… nothing to instantly wreck.  But Sylph, glad to be able to trash something for a GOOD reason, pays her cash, dons the goggles… but doesn't take a handled tool.  Instead… she simply uses her fist.  WHAM! One section of the car is devastated.

The Org's members is stunned… and deflated, seeing their gimmick is going to be over in two more swats, and all they got for it is a buck.  But the org's leader thinks very, VERY fast, and stops Sylph for just a minute or two, and tells the others to get something made of steel for her to wreck.  Then two others make a quick thermometer sign, and the org's leader grabs a megaphone and really pitches it:  "Sylph, Co-Ed of Steel, will demolish a car barehanded before your very eyes!"  And to show he's not joking, she crunches and demolishes a smaller but solid item, like a steel garbage can, or something that size.  But to get her to wreck the whole car, he's asking for contributions to help meet the org's goal.  Once they fill in enough for the thermometer card, she'll start pounding.

They make TRIPLE the amount they'd planned for.  Sylph crumples up the car for everyone's amazement and applause.  And Sylph gets a share of the proceeds for her time and demonstration.  And she has the deep thanks of the student organization and it's leader.

It's your story, of course.  But how's that strike you?

Checks with Sylph.  Sylph chortles and rubs her hands together…

Dude, I love it!  I'll cheerfully write it if you want me to, but your description is so vivid already, you could easily do it as a fanfic.

If youwant to incorporate it, go to it!  If you've already got a game plan for your story series, though, it's all right.  To be honest, I liked it so much, I was thinking of using it for other characters (COUGH cough kofftetsukokoff).  Still, I can do an homage/shoutout/in-joke if I do.

It's yo' thang, do whatcha wanna do.  8)
