Beast "Subtlety, thy name is Danvers." Running away felt wrong, but Hank still ran. Binary was a big girl, and had Phenominal Cosmic Power to boot; there wasn't much he could to to help her in a fight, but if things went wrong, the team would need his technical skills. ooc: If possible...

Arani has never enjoyed violence; she can still clearly remember the face of the first man she shot, over a decade ago on an unnamed jungle planet. So in combat situations, she tends to be tense, reserved, and nearly silent, a far cry form her usual chatty self. Still, when she hears . . ...

Beast Hank shook his head. "You're right. You're all right. On my world, Steve Rogers is a friend of mine, and I take orders from Captain America. That hasn't changed. I'm ready to go."

I've been publicly "on the fence" about C&C for a while now. (Not that anyone cared, but still . . . I was!) The most recent round of threads like this one have convinced me to buy the PHB and give it a shot. It's not quite d20 Lite (which is what I was initially hoping for) and I'm still...

It's better than "Hollyhock God." (Nobilis is in many respects an absolutely brilliant bit of game design. The GM synonym isn't one of them.)

Beast Hank laughed. "Thank you. I think I look rather like an overgrown Hobbit," he added, gesturing to the sandals on his enormous feet for emphasis. Hank turned to the Captain and blinked in surprise.

Beast Hank smiled into the mirror, and the Beast smiled back. "Mistrust all enterprises that require new clothes," he muttered. The clothes themselves were fine. Nicely nondescript - white shirt, brown blazer, and dark slacks. Not at all memorable; the blue fur, on the other hand . . . In...

Beast Hank shook his head. "We can't abandon our ideals just because of a promised reset button. if we destroy the city and then the timeline shifts and brings it back, that doesn't change what we did. We've got to play this one as if it's for real. And I agree with the Captain. Many of...

Beast is ready to go. (And I'm still working on the background thing.)

Beast "And once we're inside, I should be able to handle the computer." Hank grinned suddenly. "I think I've got an image inducer in my luggage, so I may not be quite so conspicuous after all."

ooc Beast Classic Beast - blue, furry, and apelike.

Hey Keia - I had a sudden inspiration about the Beast's background, but I've lost your e-mail address. Drop me a line at tsadkiel@yahoo.com, and I'll tell you about it.

Beast Hank took a slow sip of coffee, and then nodded. "Something's wrong. Some sort of mind control is the obvious guess, in which case we'll have to be very careful; unless my timeline has diverged more than I know, I don't see any telepaths on the team. The Professor and I were working...

Beast Hank was about to punch in the code for the door, but he stopped, fingers still hovering over the keys. He turned to the hologram. "What about Jarvis? How does he fit into this? Was he pulled from his own timeline simply to be our butler?"

Hank grinned. "A man after my own heart. As fond as I am of the gentlemanly art of debate, it's getting us nowhere. If we accept that Sandra is on the level, then we have work to do. If she's lying, then any information we gain by further questioning will be equally suspect."

Arani tosses off the helmet and strides quickly into the warehouse. "Hi, Deel, good to see you again. Imperial backup is on the way, so we'll have to catch up while fleeing - are we ready to go?"

(I'm also LDS, but what I know about Dragonlance comes from reading the first two trilogies back in High School, so grains of salt for everyone!) I agree that it's not a direct allegory, though you can see where the series has been informed by Hickman's faith. In addition to the Disks of...

Arani pales visibly when she realizes what she has to do. Still, it has to be done, so she kneels down beside the trooper, takes a deep breath, grimaces, then pries the helmet off. ooc: EDIT- Since I can guess what they're going to say, I may as well cut to the chase. This looks like a job...

Hank leaned in and quietly responded, "I'm not sure. Sandman mentioned them earlier, and I needed an example of a team I've never been on."

Hank shook his head. "She isn't Doctor Doom. She's an answering machine. But you're absolutely right. There's no reason why we should take any of this at face value. But on the other hand . . . despite the unusual trappings, this is just a case of someone asking for help. And whether we...
