GHOST:“Of course, it would be my pleasure.” Responds Ghost. “If the officer does not object. Would you like to go in together or enter the building at opposite ends?” he asks Eve.

Eve gives the cop a sideways glance but doesn't wait for the officer to respond.

"Ghost, let's go in together. Let's check out the first floor, if it's all clear, we'll get everybody."

SMOOTH: "Well, I suppose that's good for a start, baby" he agrees, tipping down his shades to wink at Eve, "You just take care of yourself in there, hear?"

"Smooth, if you try to do what you did last time I won't be so kind to your hand. Now be a good boy and behave."

Eve shivers briefly, then darkness encompasses her. She disappears... but the only thing that remains is a slight shadow creeping across the road and walls, up to the entrance of the Casino.

OOC Eve has invisibility +6 and Move Silent +4. She will attempt to move silently as she approaches the Casino. Using her incorporeal, she will enter the building with Ghost...

"Ghost, let's go in together. Let's check out the first floor, if it's all clear, we'll get everybody. "

“Very well.” Ghost responds. He then fades from sight and follows Eve towards the casino.

OOC: Ghosts has Invisibility +8 to sight and hearing, he also has See Invisibility so he knows where Eve is.

Gliding around in the air, Brain Freeze answers the call as he always does. He has always felt compelled to answer any cries of distress since that cursed witch had been to his office. As he approaches the casino, he gradually descends to hover just inches above the ground. Somehwere in the back of his mind creeps in the thought. 'Great, that Smooth guy is here.' Gliding towards the others, he acknowledges them with the usual cold greeting. "Good day folks. What's going on here?"
 

Before Ghost is able to turn invisible and follow Eve, another police officer approaches nearly at a run and brushes Sgt. Grier aside. He is easily recognizable as Captain Bill "Bulldog" Maddicks, commander of the city police department's elite STAR Squad. The STAR Squad is specially equipped and trained to deal with supervillain threats.

Maddicks is dressed in full riot gear and several similarly dressed STAR Squad officers form a cordon around the large casino behind him. The large sign at the very front of the premises reads, "Paradise Hotel Casino & Lounge - Appearing for two big weeks: the Mary Kaye Trio-with Joe E. Lewis and Lili St. Cyr!"

Maddicks looks over the assembled group of heroes skeptically. "Who are you guys? I mean, I've seen a few of you before but what exactly are you doing here? I don't intend to let a group of superpowered people I don't know anything about tramp all over my crime scene."

“If you don’t mind could you explain our plans Doctor?” Ghost asks Dr. Smooth. “I have to catch up to Eve.” Ghost then fades out and moves to catch up with Eve.
 

Maddicks turns to Doctor Smooth. "Yes, please explain your 'plans', since I'm sure they're so well put together," the cop says sarcastically. "And while your at it, you might want to tell me who you already have trying to enter the building so that they are not mistaken for criminals by my men. This is the problem with you superhero types. You think you're all above the law, you think that you can just do as you please, without regard for anyone else. The safety of my men and who knows how many civilians is at stake here. I can't have you people coming in and messing up the works without some coordination. I certainly hope your friend who just left and anyone else you have already moving on the building don't get themselves or someone else killed because of their rash actions. And you can let the one who just left know that he and I WILL have words later."

Without waiting for a reply from Smooth, Maddicks turns to face the casino. Talking into his headset he says, "Sgt Marks. Make sure the rest of the squad knows that there is at least one, possibly more, superpowered individuals approaching the building. Use extreme caution."

Diva steps forward, smiling, and then her smile fades away, replaced by an expression of utmost seriousness.

"There are two super-powered individuals entering the building if Ghost goes, Captain Maddicks," Diva explains. "Eve is going in to get some information about the situation. That's it. They'll be right back."

Diva takes a half-step forward and locks eyes with the Bulldog.

"As for our plan, we don't really have one yet. No information to act on equals no plan. That's why I'm glad to see you here, Captain. We want to help, but we don't want to endanger the lives of the hostages or your men. Help us help you, Captain."

OOC: Diplomacy +17 with possible additional modifiers from Attractive and Fame feats, trying to improve the Captain's attitude. :)

Edit: Dialogue errors.

Eve: "Smooth, if you try to do what you did last time I won't be so kind to your hand. Now be a good boy and behave."

"You must have me confused with someone else, sweetness," Dr. Smooth says quietly. "I'm no boy who needs to cop a feel. I know how to spell respect and what it means, that's why the ladies come to me. Perhaps you should look the word up. Now, go on..."

Brain Freeze: "Good day folks. What's going on here?"

Dr. Smooth more than obviously ignores Brain Freeze's question and his presence in general.*

Capt. Maddicks: "Yes, please explain your 'plans', since I'm sure they're so well put together, and while your at it, you might want to tell me who you already have trying to enter the building so that they are not mistaken for criminals by my men. This is the problem with you superhero types. You think you're all above the law, you think that you can just do as you please, without regard for anyone else.

And you can let the one who just left know that he and I WILL have words later."

"Sgt Marks. Make sure the rest of the squad knows that there is at least one, possibly more, superpowered individuals approaching the building. Use extreme caution."

Dr. Smooth starts to reply when Diva steps in.

Diva: "There are two super-powered individuals entering the building if Ghost goes, Captain Maddicks. Eve is going in to get some information about the situation. That's it. They'll be right back."

"As for our plan, we don't really have one yet. No information to act on equals no plan. That's why I'm glad to see you here, Captain. We want to help, but we don't want to endanger the lives of the hostages or your men. Help us help you, Captain."

After Diva is done, Dr. Smooth leans on his cane and smiles at the officer, "Cool down, Bulldog. You know me, or at least of me," the doctor says trying to calm down the officer with a little street diplomacy. "I may not be a high roller like I once was, certainly not in the big leagues like the FL, but I've got a certain rep. The lady here knows what she's talking about. Trust me when I say that these young cats know how to get the cheese without springing the trap. Take out the fancy little computer on your hip there and punch in the codenames Eve and Ghost and I'm sure you'll have enough info to pass onto you men. As for the rest of us, you've got me & Diva, over there is Infernal, this new kid calls himself Spyder you may not have any info on him yet. Like Diva said, we're only here to help. The city should be glad - they don't even have to pay us. Certainly The Man can get down with that."

*OOC: maddmic - I saw the thought balloon that you had about Dr. Smooth and just decided to roll with playing up an established animosity between our two characters, which is why Dr. Smooth ignores him when he arrives and doesn't identify him to Bulldog later. If this isn't where you were going with the thought balloon, let me know and I'll edit the post :D

Brain Freeze watches and listens to the commotion going on in front of the casino. Shaking his head he glides over to the Star commander. "Captain Maddicks, good too see you again." He nods towards Smooth with a less than enthusiastic look on his face. "The Doctor's right Captain. I'm afraid that while the other teams are indesposed of, we may be all that you have now. Although, I'm sure he could've spared you the 'Jiggy Style' verbage in explaining that to you. I would be more than happy to cooperate with you and your men should you require that, but I must remind you that there may be innocents in there being held hostage. Talking about our differences out here won't help them out a bit in there." The tone in which he speaks is sincere, but also condescending a bit.

OOC:
Mirthcard: Not a problem. Not that I wanted to cause strife in the group, I just figured with Freeze's lack of personality and Smooth's over abundance, it would be good for a bit of animosity to be there. Something like Smooth thinks Freeze doesn't know how to chil, or have a good time. While Freeze thinks that Smooth doesn't take the responsibility seriously. It'll probably be a bit easier once I sit down and actually write a background.

Spyder hangs in the back of the group a little nervous and shy at being around all these people. If their is a telephone pole or street light near by he might jump up there to watch the casino a little better and to stay out of the way...
