[13:23] First, everyone relevant, make Gather Information checks. [13:23] << Hmm. >> [13:23] This is Cha untrained. ^^ [13:23] Oh, and... [13:23] Welcome to another session of Mutants & Masterminds: Genesis. [13:23] When you are acting, please narrate your actions, at least a little, and not just OOC them. Likewise, don't leave it completely vague as to what you are doing, use OOC to clarify if necessary. [13:23] Keep in mind that if you want to reroll, you have to use your hero point before I narrate the result. If I rush, that's my fault, but please be somewhat expedient in declaring it. [13:23] If you are attacking, and your attack is lethal damage, declare it. Otherwise, I will assume you are aiming to inflict nonlethal. [13:23] And finally, please pay close attention. Events can happen to you even outside of your turn. [13:23] Any questions? [13:23] [13:24] roll 1d20+1 [13:24] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+1: 4 + 1 = 5. [13:24] GI is wis ? [13:24] << :D >> [13:24] << I did just say Charisma. ^^ >> [13:24] * NeremWorld is now known as LiraOrdin [13:24] << Gather Info is Cha. >> [13:24] roll 1d20+0 GI ((I'll fix this later. x.x)) [13:24] [Roll] Kiriko rolls 1d20+0: 2 + 0 = 2. [ GI ((I'll fix this later. x.x)) ] [13:24] << Can't... read... Yan's OOC >> [13:24] roll 1d20+2 [13:24] [Roll] Hikaru-chan rolls 1d20+2: 18 + 2 = 20. [13:25] << Sorry. Don't have the script, so I'm freehanding it, and chose the wrong color. [13:25] roll 1d20+10 [13:25] [Roll] LiraOrdin rolls 1d20+10: 11 + 10 = 21. [13:25] << Ahh. >> [13:25] << Hikaru obviously got her info out of a guy staring at her cleavage :V >> [13:25] << Goes to reconstruct it>> [13:25] (( Ack, wrong one. [13:25] << How do you have a +10 on Gather Information? >> [13:25] roll 1d20+0 [13:25] [Roll] LiraOrdin rolls 1d20+0: 19 + 0 = 19. [13:25] ARGH DOOM FLASHBANG [13:25] << It's /ooc { /say << $$1- >> } >> [13:25] << ! >> [13:26] (( I typoed. )) [13:26] ((... gah, Attractived oesn't apply to GI, right, Tavish?)) [13:26] << So 5, 2, 20, 19. >> [13:26] << Nope. >> [13:26] ((Ahm, thanks. THing is, I forgot to buy GI for Kiriko, adn shouldn't have. x.x )) [13:26] << I know what the /ooc script is. I helped design it. :P >> [13:27] << Pfft. >> [13:27] << I'm just trying to get my colors right. >> [13:27] << No deciding you "suddenly need to add points to your sheet." >> [13:27] << I should play something less demanding on my attention, like Disgaea 2. >> [13:27] << Not going to now, Tavish. >> [13:27] << I'm just noting for the next time I get pp >> [13:31] * WithGreatPower sets mode: +v LiraOrdin [13:31] << And it's still all women. >> [13:32] << We need more Kenshiro. >> [13:32] << For everyone else... there is a bit of disturbing media on the news, reporting on extraordinarily capable criminals going on a crime spree. >> [13:32] << ... O.. h? o_o >> [13:33] Indeed. [13:33] << Is this OOC or not? >> [13:33] << Not OOC. :P >> [13:33] << I fail. :P >> [13:33] << 'kay. >> [13:34] It is a cold December evening in Rochton. What are each of you doing? [13:35] << That's a good question, what's the current scene like? >> [13:35] The camera is on complete zoom out over the dark streets of Rochton. [13:36] << ??? >> [13:36] << What are you doing in Rochton. Period. The scene is the city. >> [13:36] << Did I miss something, or was there something before "for ever-- Oh, okay. >> [13:37] << I think he was PMing people who got the info. >> [13:37] << Yeah. >> [13:37] << Ahh. >> [13:38] << Some people got significantly more information regarding the reports on the news than others. >> [13:38] * Applica is on surveillance, keeping an eye on things from atop a large, but not extremely high, building. [13:38] * LiraOrdin is walking down a street, bundled up in a nice heavy jacket and everything, glaring about as if looking for a fight. And yes, looking down alleyways - she's not sure if she should go DOWN them though... [13:39] * Sylvia is indoors, looking out at the snow, but is glad to be indoors [13:39] * Kiriko is standing near Sylvia, sipping hot chocolate. She looks like she doesn't like the snow. At all. :( [13:40] ( *wonders if she should have the TV on* ) [13:40] << For Lira and Applica, since they are oot and aboot. >> [13:41] It is the dark of night, and snow gathers intermittently in the streets of Rochton. A woman, perhaps 30 years old, with a tired face and brunette hair, emerges from a small toy store, cradling what meager presents she has, likely for her children. She is in what are gently termed the worse parts of Rochton. Behind her, two young toughs slide out of an alleyway. [13:42] * Hikaru-chan is trouncing her way to the show towards the airport to pick up a package for her landlady from customs since whatever was in it was held back for some reason. As always sense of direction is 0 [13:42] * Applica stares, "Hmm...~" [13:42] * LiraOrdin is nearby, but she doesn't know if these toughs are gonna be jerks or if they're heading out from doing something... else in the alley. She moves towards them more intently... [13:43] Hikaru-chan trounces into a random dead end. [13:43] Garbed in mundane jeans, jackets, and sinister smirks, the toughs walk steadily forward to the woman. With a glance over her shoulder, the mother's face contorts into alarm, and she tries to take off down the empty, chill street. Not fifteen paces follow before she slips, her bag sent tumbling, and she looks back with terrified eyes to the young men, one speaking, "Hey lady... a woman like y'self shouldn' be alone on these streets..." The other reaches into his jacket. [13:43] [Warning] WithGreatPower, your message was cut off! Here's where it ended: a woman like y'self shouldn' be alone on these st [13:43] streets..." The other reaches into his jacket. [13:44] * Applica watches Lira move toawrds the thugs much like the thugs did to the old lady. [13:44] * Sylvia glances over to the scene, if she's close enough to be able to see it through her window [13:44] * LiraOrdin starts off running towards the scene, to try and catch the thugs attention... she looks down at the ground as she runs, hoping to spot a rock or something to throw. "Hey jerkfaces!" [13:45] Japanese: < Man it's so dricken cold out here > [13:45] Lira can find rocks, broken bottles, snow, ice... [13:45] * Hikaru-chan blows her hands to warm up [13:46] * LiraOrdin scoots up a rock, and gives it a little toss at the toughes, that's more likely to get their attention. [13:46] "Hey, that's a good idea." [13:46] * Applica also looksfor a convenient thing to throw. [13:46] Applica can also find rocks, broken bottles, not so broken bottles, snow, ice... [13:47] * Applica picks up a small rock and throws it at the same one Lira threw it at. Alebit more than a "little" toss. [13:47] The toughs turn to face Lira. One of them cracks a smirk... and his hand moves like a blur, snatching the rock out of the air. A flourishing step forward, and it whips forward at inhuman speeds at Lira. It narrowly misses, a breeze distinctly whipping past the woman's head. [13:47] << And Applica gets to attack. >> [13:48] << ICHIGEKI HISSATSU YUKI BARRU! >> [13:48] "Tch!" [13:48] roll 1d20+6 [13:48] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+6: 19 + 6 = 25. [13:48] << What is your Strength, again? >> [13:48] << Hello +10 strength mod. >> [13:48] << Well damn. >> [13:48] roll 1d20 [13:48] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20: 3 = 3. [13:49] "What the!!!" Even with what she's seen so far in her life, nothing could have prepared her for THAT. She lets out a little sound of fear as the rock goes past... [13:49] CRACK! The man crumples to the ground, a wound split open in his skull. The woman tries to gather her things between moments of numbly gazing on in horror. [13:50] "Erm, maybe that was a bit too much..." [13:50] roll 1d20+5 Notice [13:50] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+5: 20 + 5 = 25. [ Notice ] [13:50] * Applica hides. [13:50] << Roll that Stealth check. :P >> [13:50] * LiraOrdin gets her bearings after a moment, though she's shaken again for a moment as the man just crumples from a light-speed rock... She steps back, and looks towards the woman. "H... Hey, get outta here, okay?" [13:50] roll 1d20+2 [13:50] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+2: 18 + 2 = 20. [13:50] << Nice, but not enough. >> [13:51] * Hikaru-chan just casually walks past Lira with her hands in the back of her neck completly oblivious the turns on the spot and looks at Lira. "So, can you tell me where i can find the airport lady?" [13:51] << No, Hikaru. >> [13:51] << I'll deal with you in time. >> [13:51] (( AHAHAH DENIED!! :P )) [13:51] << man. I can't be lost now huh :( >> [13:51] * WithGreatPower sets mode: -v Hikaru-chan [13:51] * WithGreatPower sets mode: +m [13:51] << :P >> [13:52] The thug whips out a pistol at ridiculous speeds and fires a stray bullet or three in Applica's direction, but looks bewildered as she seemingly vanishes. [13:53] << Lira >> [13:53] << ? >> [13:53] The woman tries to pick up her packages, staggering up to a stand. [13:53] (( Posting. )) [13:54] << Yay, - to spot checks. >> [13:54] (( Oh, I gotta do a spot check too? [13:54] << Nope, you just plain don't see Applica. >> [13:55] * LiraOrdin knows these must be the kinda guys she's looking for, but she's starting to wonder if she can take them on even with... her secret. She takes off towards the alley, probably a suspiciosu act to the thugs. [13:56] The remaining thug tches again, muttering "crazy lady" before then turning to the woman, "Hey!" He points his gun at her. [13:56] * Applica peeks over again. [13:57] * LiraOrdin 's is a bit disappointed that the thug didn't go for her, but she's wondering if the weird rock-bandit will strike again... or is she going to have to... [13:58] << Light speed rock hijinks. :D >> [13:59] The man growls, "Did I tell you you could go anywhere." She backs up a few steps, shaking her head, "N-n-no..." He waves a gun in the air, "Well you aren't gonna... y'see, now Robbie here's all wounded..." [13:59] * Applica picks up another small object. [14:00] << ;_; >> [14:00] * LiraOrdin bites her lip, and pulls out a pill bottle, and uncaps it. After tapping out a pill, she returns the bottle and pops the pill into her mouth, ready to swallow it if things look bad. [14:00] "I-I-I didn't do anything..." "... oh yeah? You didn't?" [14:01] * Applica throws. [14:01] roll 1d20+6 [14:01] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+6: 2 + 6 = 8. [14:02] << that so misses. :D >> [14:02] "Well you're the only one around and..." [14:02] "Erk." [14:02] * Applica hides again. [14:02] The thug glances up. [14:02] roll 1d20+8 And Fires [14:02] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+8: 20 + 8 = 28. [ And Fires ] [14:02] << DC 19 Toughness. :P >> [14:02] << Oh, that hits. >> [14:02] roll 1d20+10 [14:02] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+10: 4 + 10 = 14. [14:02] << W... what. :P >> [14:02] * LiraOrdin notices the rock-bandit missing, so she swallows the pill, in order to... well... Take the fight to this punk. [14:02] << Oh well, I'll take the bruised. >> [14:02] << And the stun, and the injured. >> [14:03] << Oh eff that. >> [14:03] << HP'd >> [14:03] roll 1d20+10 [14:03] [Roll] Applica rolls 1d20+10: 5 + 10 = 15. [14:03] Applica takes a bullet to her brain. Or, braincase. Well, forehead. It's flattened against her nanobody. [14:04] * Applica peels it off, sighs, and hops down from the roof. Or, actually, floats. [14:04] << http://big-metto.net/Upload/files/STR0053.avi !!! >> [14:04] "... the hell." [14:04] * Applica walks up patiently to the thug. [14:04] He fires again. [14:05] << total Defense. >> [14:05] The woman screams, dropping her bag as she flees. [14:05] roll 1d20+6 Mild PA [14:05] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+6: 2 + 6 = 8. [ Mild PA ] [14:05] * LiraOrdin is now known as Vortex [14:05] * Applica keeps walking as the bullet whizzes past. [14:06] "... the hell are you..." [14:06] * Applica smiles. [14:06] " [14:06] "That's classified information." [14:06] He backs up and tries to run past the alley Vortex is in! [14:07] * Vortex GRINS down at the man with a teeth, evil-looking maw, taking up practically the entire alleyway. [14:07] << teethy* >> [14:07] "... the... fu..." [14:07] * Applica sighs, looks at the guy slumped on the ground. [14:08] The thug lifts his gun, desperately attempting to shoot the monster before him. [14:08] roll 1d20+3 Wild Shot [14:08] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+3: 8 + 3 = 11. [ Wild Shot ] [14:08] * Applica picks him up, and tries to figure out where the police office is from here. [14:08] << ... I don't even need to roll, huh? >> [14:08] << Nope. >> [14:09] * Vortex looks amused as something like that can be as the bullet just kinda does... nothing. It starts towards the thug, looking surprisngly agile for its size. "Did you really mean that? Or were you just joking with that shot?" Its low, scratchy voice echos. [14:09] The bullets fly past as the wildly misaimed shots ping against a dumpster, and then brick, and concrete. [14:09] "... the fuck man!" [14:10] He turns again and tries to flee! [14:10] * Vortex takes off after him, enjoying the power of the Vortex form, but also reaching out to grab him before he escapes, feeling utterly invincible. [14:11] << Man. >> [14:11] << Go ahead and roll attack. >> [14:11] << Nerem's got problems. >> [14:11] (( What?! )) [14:11] << So he has a little antihero in him. >> [14:11] roll 1d20+10 [14:11] [Roll] Vortex rolls 1d20+10: 12 + 10 = 22. [14:12] The thug dives for the street at the first snatch, responding with heightened reflexes, and then leaps... up into Vortex's grasp, ensnared. [14:12] * WithGreatPower sets mode: +v-m Hikaru-chan [14:13] "... wh-what are you going to do to me?!" [14:13] * Vortex lets out a laugh as it catches the poor thug, all too smug. "You sure are pretty scared now. What happened to that confidence, man? What happened?" At those words, the monster considers. "Maybe I'll kill ya. You deserve it, don't you? You're one of those guys whose been killing people, yeah?" [14:14] * Applica walks by, peers down the otherguy being held by... something. [14:14] His eyes widen in fright as he looks up at the beast that has caught him, "I... I... I didn'... I didn' kill no one..." [14:15] * Vortex tightens its grip just a little, its claws looking miiiighty sharp... "Really? Know anyone who did this?" [14:15] << Who did* >> [14:15] << Not who did this >> [14:15] << Good thing she has Fearless. >> [14:16] "Wh-what... ?! I... I..." He stammers, attempting to squirm away in Vortex's grip. It doesn't work. [14:16] << Jesus christ, Vortex would mess Applicaup hardcore. >> [14:16] << o.o >> [14:16] << Hehe, really? >> [14:17] * Vortex laughs so cruelly, enjoying all too much tormenting the jerkface. This is like, every kid's revenge fantasy. And this kid was enjoying it. "What? Tell me the truth.. Or maybe I'll show you something... special." It hasn't noticed Applica yet, too intent on its 'prey'. [14:17] In front of Applica is Vortex, a rather beastly being that stands, at least eight feet tall, probably a good bit over that, with the claws and the eyes and the terror. It is obscured partway by the shadows, but not enough to hide its monstrous nature. [14:19] "My, that's a rather large one. Reminds me of the Mutated Species back in my time..." [14:19] "Oh, I should probably..." [14:19] "...Well, I guess I'll watch a moment." [14:20] The thug attempts to squirm away from Vortex's grasp again, "... m-man..." [14:20] roll 1d20+11 Grapple Check [14:20] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+11: 12 + 11 = 23. [ Grapple Check ] [14:20] << *looking right at Applica* I can hear every damn word you're saying, you know. >> [14:20] << And nope, that won't beat Vortex. >> [14:20] << Fufufu. No need to even roll. >> [14:20] << * Applica waves cheerfully. >> [14:21] * Vortex considers taking pity, but dismisses that thought. "What? What's that? Just tell me, and I'll let you go. Alive, anyways. If you don't know anything, 'fess up with honest eyes!!" [14:22] "O-okay... Okay... I... I don't know much. I just... it's this guy! He's handing this stuff out if you... if you do stuff for him! M-man..." [14:22] << Vortex needs Fearsome Presence, and Startle,. >> [14:22] (( Yeah, I'm definately considering getting it, since I do have left-over points. After the session though. )) [14:22] "Oh? Interesting... Any clue on how to find him?" The tall monster asks, seeming almost nice for the moment. [14:24] "There's... the guy I know... he's named James... he hooked me up." [14:24] roll 1d20+11 Struggle [14:24] [Roll] WithGreatPower rolls 1d20+11: 2 + 11 = 13. [ Struggle ] [14:24] << Yeaaaaah he fails. >> [14:26] * GreatResponsibility has joined #genesis [14:26] * Vortex tightens its grip ever so slowly now, "How do I find this James? Tell me, or you'll find out what the 'Vor Cannon' is. I promise it'll look cool, at least..." Rows of sharp teeth are bared, as a threat. [14:26] * GreatResponsibility has left #genesis [14:26] * Kiriko is now known as Kiriko|Hidden [14:26] << Great responsibility? NOT WITH LIRA AROUND. >> [14:26] << Pfft. :P >> [14:26] << Good job Athena's not about either :P >> [14:29] "C'mon man... he's at the burned out house on May Ave!" [14:31] * Vortex considers that for a moment, and nods, "I will trust you... but if you are lying, or I hear one more word about you, and I will KNOW its you... I will personally knock on your door, scaring anyone on the block, just to EAT YOU. Got me?" [14:31] "... y-yeah..." [14:32] * Vortex flicks the gun away from the thug if he still has it, and lets him down. "Now get the hell outta here before I get bored." [14:32] The man attempts to flee, leaving Vortex with Applica and the unconscious thug. [14:32] * Applica hands the thug to his friend on his way out. [14:32] << Oh, or. >> [14:33] "Hmm, that was pretty resourceful." [14:33] * Vortex 's eyes turn towards Applica now that its attention is off the thug. "Yes?" The monstrous... thing inquires. [14:34] "Just complimenting you. That was certainly a better job than I could've done." [14:34] "But I digress, I'll be taking this guy to the police station now." [14:34] "... You're not scared." The monster comments, and pauses. "... Yeah, go ahead." [14:35] "No, not really. Is there a problem? I could act scared too, if you wanted." [14:35] * Applica puts on a poor "D:" face. [14:35] "... Its okay. I'll take care of the lady's purse." The large monster snickers a little at the D: face. [14:35] "Okay." [14:35] << And the party's found its offical interrogator. >> [14:36] * Applica heads to the police station, then, but pauses, "By the way. I never got your name." [14:36] << I guess. :P >> [14:36] * Vortex opens its mouth and pauses, as if considering for a moment. "... Vortex. Yeah, Vortex. 'Member it." [14:36] "'kay~" [14:37] * Applica heads out. [14:38] * Vortex waits until she's away and moves towards the dumpster, climbing in and pulling the lid down while she takes out another pill bottle, this one of another color, and tapping out a pill, dutifully swallowing it... [14:38] << Unless you wanted COMPLICATION!!. >> [14:38] << Insert matrix joke here. >> [14:38] * Vortex is now known as LiraOrdin [14:38] << He's gone past the rabbit hole, man. :( >> [14:39] * Applica suddenly realizes that a giant monster is likely not well to be accepted in this society. I wonder if it has a different form. --- Begin side story. Start of #genesis-sylvia's buffer: Sat Dec 09 23:09:13 2006* Now talking in #genesis-sylvia's < Or not :P > 2<<12 yeahno. :P 2>> * Kiriko has joined #genesis-sylvia's "Things have been quiet lately, haven't they?" 2<<12 I'm going to wildly presume that being a successful scientist('s assistant) means that she doesn't live in the ghetto, even if she does live in Rochton. 2>> << Ah, yeah ^^; >> "A little too quiet." Kiriko nods "But yeah. I've had time to work on some stuff." "Oh?" "Anything new?" "Some magical charms. It's a bit hard when I'm used to mechanical devices." Kiriko gestures to her ex-dim board "But it's interesting." "Not yet." "I'd love to learn some myself." "When I finish one, I'll be sure enough of how to make one that I'll show you, Sylvia." ^^ * Sylvia smiles. "Thankyou" "Have you been working on anything recently?" "A little.. I've been trying to improve on Deus Machina, but haven't really gotten anywhere. I'm better at chemistry, anyway." << I *REALLY* need to buy Jack of All Trades or Beginner's Luck.. it's an unfortunate oversight that could make a plothole ^^; >> "I know the feeling. I tried making a rifle or something for backup and... " Kiriko shrugs "I couldn't even design it anymore." "I guess it's a miracle I even managed to make Deus Machina in the first place." "Yeah." Kiriko nods 2<<12 *snickers* 2>> 2<<12 So does Sylvia get news by radio, paper, or TV? 2>> << Usually TV, I'd guess. >> (( Ironically, Kiriko CAN Makecharms, except Craft i generic and may not apply.)) << I THOUGHT Athena could make machines... but Knowledge (Technology) isn't enough, it seems ;.; >> << Inventor is needed, right? >> << I have it ^^ >> 2<<12 You need Craft (mechanical). :P 2>> << Ah. >> <> 2<<12 ... yes? 2>> "I have a feeling it won't be quiet for long, though." 2<<12 Craft (mechanical) is required to actually put designs into reality. 2>> << Ah. >> 2<<12 Inventor doesn't handle making a toaster, it handles making a death ray, but Craft is required for both, usually either electronics or mechanical. 2>> "Yeah." KIriko turns the TV on to the news channel "Maybe there will be something on." << OH! So I could've had it crafted, just that I couldn't build it myself... I'd have to get someone else, or some sort of factory equipment, to build it. >> * Sylvia watches << The thing about the supervillains is on, right? ^^; >> 2<<12 Indeed, it has been on for a few days. 2>> 2<<12 Well, "super"-villains. 2>> "I guess it's not THAT quiet." "Each time I see this, I get a little more disquieted.. it's too good for ordrinary thugs." * Sylvia nods. "I.. I hope it's not some superhuman who decided to... well.." "Yeah." "Unfourntly, I haven't found anything out." She sighs "I wish I could find something." * Sylvia sips a hot drink * Kiriko nods "I wonder if Applica might know more about this, or so." She frowns. * Kiriko also sips a hot drink "... if only we could contact her." "That.. would be the problem." Kiriko tilts her head "K suggests we should just go as heros and fly around for a bit, but." "Well... maybe, but..." "Yeah, it might not work." Kiriko nods * Sylvia sighs a little "But we need to do something." * Sylvia takes a breath. "Yeah... I guess we do." 2<<12 There are other ways of obtaining data~ *hums* 2>> 2<<12 The Gather Information check you got was just a freebie. You could retry it, given time, or do something else. 2>> "Well... " KIriko begins, then looks at Sylvia "Something wrong?" "Well.. I don't want to right now, anyway.." "We could just go out and look around normally, though?" "... even if it is cold." Kiriko nods "Sure.. although K insists in having command - since she can protect you without revealin who we are... " Kiriko shudders "And thankfully, K doesn't care if it's cold." "Well.. if you don't mind, alright." Kiriko shrugs, and Sylvia can already spot the personality changes, ash er moves become less expressiv,e the voice more flat "I'm-we're- more worried about the villians." She puts the hood on, then the long gloves. * Sylvia goes to get her coat. Even if K doesn't mind the cold, she's not too keen on freezing * Kiriko silently watches, getting her ref board out of habit. She's already considering the options, and how best to protect Sylvia and Athena. * Sylvia puts her coat on. "Any idea where to start?" ''... ghettos, or any other place with low police prescense." * Kiriko is now known as Kiriko|Hidden "... Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." There's almost a noteof warmth in the tone. Almost "I.. thanks.. I'll let Athena take over if there's any trouble, though." * Sylvia smiles a little, and heads out * Kiriko|Hidden nods, following her quietly * Sylvia heads for the ghetto! << Room switch? >> 2<<12 Sure. 2>> Although. 2<<12 *ponders for a minute* 2>> * WithGreatPower has left #genesis-sylvia's End of #genesis-sylvia's buffer Sat Dec 09 23:09:13 2006 --- Begin second side story.

A chuckle resonates from behind, a deep, throaty sound, coming from what you see, is a massive man. Tubes plug into his flesh, and a weird box is vaguely visible beneath a wifebeater, as well as other metallic implants. His bald head gleams in the light, "Well well well... look who's here..." [14:30] 13<<6 ohh whee 13>> [14:30] 2<<12 ^^ 2>> [14:31] 2<<12 Sorry for the delay. 2>> [14:31] 13<<6 *Hikaru got lost on the way to alley 13>> [14:31] 2<<12 :P 2>> [14:31] 13<<6 :P 13>> [14:32] Two flunkies slide out from either side, speaking in a snide tones, "Looks like someone in your place, boss." "Yeah, someone on your turf." The big man speaks, "... well, we can't have that..." [14:32] "I think this is a dead end to, damnit why is this place built so confusing. You'd think there'd be wide open space near an airport." [14:32] * Hikaru-chan scratches her head compleltly ignoring these guys. [14:33] "Hey, I'm talking to you!" [14:34] "Shut up, I hear you. What do you want?" [14:34] "You got to pay the toll, little girl." [14:35] "Isn't this a dead end alley. toll to go where?" [14:35] "For being on our turf." [14:37] "Turf?" /me looks under her feet. "I'm standing on something thats yours? sorry i tought there was just snow down there!" [14:37] The larger man lumbers forward, cracking his knuckles, "After all, this is our territory... we can't just have people... wandering around." [14:38] The bald man chuckles, "That's ours too. Everything here is ours." [14:38] A flunkie mutters, "Yeah, everything!" [14:38] "So all i have to do is pay this toll right? will you tell me what way the airport is if I do that?" [14:39] "... ... ... the fuck? Do I look like MapQuest?" [14:39] * Hikaru-chan points at his stomach. "That's not GPS?" [14:41] He pulls up his shirt, exposing the box, and growls, "... fuck no it isn't." Then he twists a dial, and pushes it down, his muscles tensing as the tubes pump, flexing. Seeming to bulk up, almost, the man's face twists into a scowl, "I'm tired of you, bitch!" [14:41] "Hey don't call me bitch, I'm not a girl you know." [14:42] "... what the fuck? Are you some kinda drag queen?" [14:42] "Fuck this, you homo!" Ah, so educated. The man lumbers forward, glowering. [14:43] * Hikaru-chan pokes at her own chest. "Well i guess technicly I'm a girl right now. It's no helping it with all this snow around." [14:44] "... the fuck?" [14:44] "The fuck are you playin' at, bitch?" [14:44] 2<<12 He's a kind, gentle man. :( 2>> [14:44] "I don't want to explain, it's embarrassing." [14:44] "..." [14:45] "So are you going to move or do i have to beat you now? I'm kinda famous you know! granny said she saw me on TV the other day." [14:46] "Stop fucking around!" He scowls then at you, "Famous, yeah right, bitch! Ain't no one famous here but me!" [14:46] He then lumbers forward to take a swing... [14:46] 13<<6 init time? 13>> [14:46] roll 1d20+1 Initiative [14:46] WithGreatPower rolled 1d20+1 Initiative --> [ 1d20=19 ]{20} [14:46] roll 1d20+19 [14:46] Hikaru-chan rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{29} [14:46] 2<<12 You first. 2>> [14:47] * Hikaru-chan sees the man reading a swing a whirls back to sock him in the face good.

His flunkies look uneasy. [14:49] "Whats wrong. My punch isn't even half as strong as normal in this body. these stupid boobs and short arms completly throw off my center of balance and your still flinching like that from a single hit." [14:49] 2<<12 Your turn again. :P 2>> [14:50] * Hikaru-chan winds up for a full on strike this time aiming for his chest. [14:50] 13<<6 PA -5 13>> [14:50] roll 1d20+5 [14:50] Hikaru-chan rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{24} [14:51] roll 1d20+8 Toughness [14:51] WithGreatPower rolled 1d20+8 Toughness --> [ 1d20=7 ]{15} [14:51] 2<<12 :( 2>> [14:51] 2<<12 Actually, +7, so... DC 28, right? 2>> [14:51] 13<<6 15 + 13 = dc 28 yes 13>> [14:52] The man wobbles once more, and his flunkies pull out their guns, "H-hey! Nobody does that to the boss!" He staggers slightly, and waves his arm, gasping raggedly, "Stay outta this!" [14:52] 2<<12 Stun. :( 2>> [14:52] * Hikaru-chan sighs and jumps up to power kick him in the face [14:52] 13<<6 same PA mod 13>> [14:53] roll 1d20+5 [14:53] Hikaru-chan rolled 1d20+5 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{12} [14:53] roll 1d20+7 [14:53] WithGreatPower rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{22} [14:53] 13<<6 and there goes a hero point 13>> [14:53] 2<<12 You hit. :P 2>> [14:53] 13<<6 seriously? ok 13>> [14:53] 13<<6 was dc-28 again 13>> [14:53] He keels over under the final blow and hits the dirt, groaning. [14:55] "Thats why asked if you really wanted to fight. So which way to the airport?" [14:55] They nervously point in the appropriate direction. [14:55] The boss man, of course, just lays flat. [14:56] * Hikaru-chan nods and puts her arms back in her neck to wander off in that general direction. "See you guys later. be good now." [14:56] 2<<12 ^^ 2>> [14:56] 2<<12 Anyways, you can find the other people if you want~ 2>> [14:56] 13<<6 okidokie 13>> [14:56] 2<<12 Or continue on to the airport~ Either way~ 2>> [14:56] * WithGreatPower has left #genesis-alley End of #genesis-alley buffer Sat Dec 09 15:07:36 2006 --- End side stories. [14:39] << If K and Sylvia wish to find Applica or Lira, they may. >> [14:40] * LiraOrdin climbs out of the dumpster, wrinkling her nose... and looking down at her totally trashed clothing and sighs. [14:40] * Sylvia wanders past the dumpster as Lira climbs out, blinking a little [14:41] "... I had no idea conditions were that bad..." [14:41] * LiraOrdin blinks at those words. "... Huh...?" [14:41] "You're homeless, aren't you?" [14:41] << Haha this is kinda funny ^^;; >> [14:42] << harsh XD >> [14:42] * Sylvia hands Lira a bit of money. "I know it's not much, but it should help..."
