Beyond Freedom (M&M PbP) Issue #1 - Loves Lost?!

[bkmanis]

“Good evening.” Harbinger responds to the old man. “I came by to check on Athena but I see you are taking control of her treatment.” Harbinger says glancing over at the guard just to make sure he stays out of trouble. “I hope she will recover fully from her injuries.”

OOC: I assume that the old man is Daedelus, right?

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

[OCC: Ag, I hope this works this time. I tried posting this like 3 times on the 12th. But updated as you all could reply when I did not. Sorry for the very long delay]

Ursus looks over at Jimmy and the security guard and says "Ah you got a front gate you can let me out of? Also hears a number you can reach me at... my ex is still missing and I want to find her if possible..." The security guard nods and says he can take you to the main gate or that they could maybe give you a ride to where ever you wanted in the city...

About then a large LAV police transport lands not far from Brimstone. A number of officers with multiblasters get out and cover the stony villain, followed by a walker-loader. It picks Brimstone up with no problems and moves him into a lower docking bay. The officers look at you both but then load up and take off, heading towards the east and the bay. The other LAV with the two officers and Thumper follow behind.


At Apollo's apartment, Marguess seems fairly taken with the exiled sun god and says "Well being a little old fashion can be very attractive… but remember you have fans and maybe even a few worshipers who hang on your every word. What's a little innocent girl from New York to do in this ruff and tumble world to get ahead? Hmm I am not overly excited about working against the Dark Saints that is for sure BUT I would not mind have a steady income here in the city, maybe working as a bodyguard to 'personal assistant' to some rock star or another… at his beck and call 24/7…" she then leans in for an excepted kiss...


At the hospital, the older looking gentlemen reaches a hand out to shake yours "She'll be fine lad. I have seen her in far worst scraps before this. I am glad to see that some of you have decide to return to the public eye lad. Most people may not say it but they have been waiting for … the return of heroes for some time. Don't let them get you down at first… most people are afraid but good none the less. Her is a number that you can reach Athena at. She will be up in ready to go by morning I am sure. You need a ride anywhere?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Apollo plays coy, "Well," he stands, "we can work something out, I think if you want to help me out, as an assistant, then I would be glad to have you, but I don't want to lock you into soemthing binding, I know you have your own business."

"Besides I saw how your wonderful touch, affected Ursus, and as much as I admire your features, I don't like to take chances. I think we have finished any business, about the Dark Saints, and Remlok. If you want to make this more personal, I am all for it, but tonight I think I will be having some company, you know business," Apollo finishes.

Apollo smiled, "So if you want to work for me, get in touch with my manager, Jenna Jones," he places her card on the table in front of Marguess. Apollo uses his ambient light manipulation abilities to focus the light on Marguess and the card, while dimming the light around himself, hiding his features somewhat as he waits to see how she reacts.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

At Apollo's apartment, Marguess leans back, smiling and takes the card. She laughs lightly and says "Hmm you are smarter then you look... never trust a gal with 'hot-lip, that might sink ships'. OK sugar, I will give your assistant a call in a day or so. Is that the front door? I don't suppose you could give a poor girl an advance could you? I'd like to get a nice shower in tonight and I have never stayed at the some of Freedom City's finer hotels. Might be nice to check one of them out, but it will take me a couple of days to access my 'personal accounts' to get at my funds..."

 

[Tokiwong]

Apollo nods, "How about the Freedom City Hyatt,"he picks up the phone, and leaves a message with pertinent information, "Just tell them Apollo's room," he looks up as he puts the phone down, "they should take care of you there, I hope the accomodations will be to your liking."

Apollo opens the door for Marguess, "Hopefully we will be seeing each other in the near future..."

 

[bkmanis]

You need a ride anywhere?

“No thank you.” Harbinger responds. “I can get around fine. I guess we’ll be in touch, as soon as we figure out our next move.” Harbinger says taking Athena’s number. “Well, have a good evening.” So saying Harbinger teleports out of the hospital, heading home.

 

[Keia]

Jimmy looked to Ursus before departing, "You heading over with me - I could speed you up on your way there and then you could follow me?"

Jimmy will head out to where he believes Apollo lives as soon as the guards open the gate. If Ursus is coming with him, Jimmy will use Time control to give Ursus superspeed then follow after with his own superspeed.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

At Apollo's apartment, Marguess says "The Hyatt sounds great sugar. I'll be in touch..." and she leaves, giving Apollo a wink and a smile...

At the Wellingford Complex, Ursus follow along with Jimmy, and when speed up to high speed he gets a large, bear-like grin on his face... It only takes the two of them only about 15 minutes to race though the city to the SkyKing Tower, where Apollo the rockstar is reported to live.

Security flies though the city, looking down at it... all seems peaceful...

Winters floats around and wanders a bit, drawn towards the heart of the city.

Harbinger makes it home without and problems...

[OCC: OK now I am a little worried how to draw you all back together... seems everyone is off and not much to get you back together. Jimmy still has the PDA found in one of the labs. Other thoughts? Sorry, with the site crash I was out for a while and I don't just want to "force you all back together" as it were.]

 

[Tokiwong]

I had invited the guys to my place... time to make a scene...

Apollo walks out on his balcony, and wonders if the others are coming, he decides to create a bright flare of light into the sky, using his light control, he makes it shift through white blue, and yellow, smiling at his power, and hoping that the others see the bright display in the sky...

Apollo thinks to himself, First Hecate and now Marguess, but at least Marguess has a personality that I can groove too, besides us Olympians have standards. I wonder how long it will take Athena to get back to good? I could really go for some ambrosia about now...

 

[Victim]

OOC: Sorry, my Internet access has been down awhile. Also, Security was heading back to his headquarters, not just idly flying around.

Well, the security systems and hopefully secret location of this place ought to keep my armor safe. Unless Mike was tracked here and followed. But the cold, sparse concrete cave was no refuge for an injured person. In his apartment, though, he probably had enough medical supplies to treat himself. He had a well stocked medicine cabinet; you could never really be overprepared.

It was less than a klick away. The distance was normally trivial. But not now, even though the wounds seemed to pose no immediate danger. And it would probably be best to conceal his condition from security guard too. Suddenly aquiring weird plasma wounds at night tended to raise annoying questions. Hopefully Apollo didn't have an unlisted number - it'd still be possible to dig it up, but the task would be a time consuming complication.

Carrying some disks with the recording of the "mission" and his original info file, Mr. Evans sets off into the Freedom City night. There appeared to be some weird lights in the distance, in a richer part of town. Hmm, that fast kid said that Apollo was some kind of rock star. He wouldn't. . .
