EPIC M&M: Issue 1 (IC)

"You guys just ignore those two," Vince says as he nods towards Jackal and Cosmo, "The only way they can fill their sad little lives is by bullying others. As far as desperate pleas for attention go, it is pretty much the lowest form. Ignore them and they can't hurt you."


"I'm pretty sure," X12 quips with a glance towards Jackal, "that even if I don't ignore him, he couldn't really hurt me."

OOC: Continuing onwards, the re-roll really doesn't make much of a difference overall.

The buzzing sound intensifies and there is a loud bang. Kevin is sent cartwheeling through the air, directly towards Anna, Jackal, Michelle and Sanjay. Jackal, reacting quickly, picks up Anna's wheelchair and spins out of the way while Michelle barely manages to drop to the floor to avoid Kevin hitting her. Sanjay is not so lucky, catching a foot in the head, knocking him off his chair and to the floor.

Grandmother finishes the swing of her cane, which strikes Cosmo in the back of the head. His eyes roll back and he collapses to the ground.

One of the waitresses screams as Kevin slams into her, sending both into and through the glass window. Shattered glass flies through the air as the two start falling towards the ground.

"Catch them!" shouts Grandmother.

OOC: Kevin is stunned by the backlash and knocked flying as excess power cascades through him, suffering a stun hit. The glass did not stand up to the impact and both he and the waitress are moments away from a fairly long (30') fall.

Now granted this is a comic book, but I still doubt Straightjacket could manage to fall faster than they do(just ask Gallileo), thus he's probably going to have to do nothing. The source of the problem is unconscious, so nothing to do there either. I suppose I'll just hold my action.

Instincts taking over, Raisa leaps for the now shattered window, diving across the floor in an attempt to grab onto the wrists of the two falling people.


POWERS: Not entirely sure what would be usefull, but I'm assuming Accrobatics(5)
 

X12 stands, and starts walking towards the stairs down to where the pair will impact. As he walks, he starts pulling off his gloves, grumbling something about really stupid smart people and the problems they cause.

"About 30 feet down... just like a moderate-speed car accident; they should both survive, which means, at least this won't hurt me that much. Too bad it's probably three of them, since the big girl jumped as well... I'm gonna have such a headache," X12 thinks to himself as he starts descending the stairs.

Randall's jaw drops when Kevin is sent flying. Randall watches, as if in slow motion, Kevin's prone body go spinning trough the air and into an unsuspecting waitress sending them both crashing through the glass and down towards the floor far below. Randall rushes to the window to watch in horror, he knows there is nothing he can do to help either of them.

"Chill. I'll get em."

Vince dashes downstairs to catch the falling duo. Realizing he wont be able to catch them both physically, he will run in circles really fast to make a whirlwind of air to catch them both. He can then set them down gently.

Powers: Superspeed to get downstairs. Whirlwind is a stunt that I dont have yet so I will use extra effort to be able to do it. I will use a hero point to negate the fatigue too.

ooc: Of course all of this is dependant on whether Raisa has already caught them.
 

"That's a fall of aproximately 10 meters, resulting in about square-root two seconds of fall, giving them an impact speed of about 14 meters per second. That makes the force that the floor hits them with around one thousand newtons, depending on their weight, aproximately the same as a car hitting them at three kilometers per hour.
It could result in serious internal damage if they make the fall really badly, or, if they're lucky enough, they can manage it with lots of bruises and ache."
 

Around the room, people are stunned and shocked. Luckily, some of you manage to keep your wits about you.

Raisa dives and reaches past the edge of the window, grabbing at the waitress. Amazingly, she grabs the woman's ankle and halts her plunge to the floor. Her other free hand is too busy keeping her from following her out to grab Kevin. The waitress screams and faints, hanging limply. Raisa's shirt sleeves are badly torn, but she suffers no injury from the glass she is crushing beneath her arms.

OOC: Half move to the window and half action to grab the woman. A dexterity check resulted in a 21 against DC 20.

Vince bursts down the stairs, preparing to create a whirlwind of force, and nearly trips over Pooky. He must have teleported down. Vince looks up and realizes he has no time to get his whirlwind in place.

OOC: Running down and getting into postion is just under 70', which is a half action. Activating your super speed is also a half action. The whirlwind stunt is a full round action.

Pooky lifts his head up and lets out an ear shattering bark. You can see a cone of some sort reach upward through Kevin, and everything within the cone stops moving for a number of seconds. Grabbing your chance, you enter your whirlwind and send a wall of air upwards to cushion Kevin's fall. It's messy, but it definitely slows his decent, along with ripping quite a few light fixtures from the walls and ceiling.

OOC: Hero point spent to enter your whirlwind. You have limited control, enough to get what you want done, with some side effects due to lack of training.

"Or that could happen," rumbles Carl, the huge boy, eyebrows raised from the surprise.

Grandmother grabs John's shoulder. "Pick this twit up and take him downstairs. If he wakes up and continues his foolishness, knock him on his skull again." She is, quite obviously, very angry. "Michelle, pick yourself up and go with John. If either of you start to feel your powers vanish, knock him out."

Jackal stands up and rights Anna's wheelchair, gripping the handles tightly but says nothing, casting baleful glares at both John and Michelle.

"Everyone else, finish eating, gather your luggage and come downstairs. I'm sure the Mag-Lev will arrive soon." As she finishes, she sounds very, very tired and is once more leaning on her cane, more heavily than before, as she hobbles over to Sanjay.

"I was told you were not attending, young man. Help me downstairs, and you can tell me why, exactly, you were suddenly allowed to come to America." She grabs hold of his arm as he gets up.

OOC: Sanjay, you feel very attached to this woman, like she really is your grandmother. She is obviously from the same region as you are.

X12, as you pass Dara, the telepath, you see she is slumped over, unconscious.
 

OCC: Scratch that part.

Michelle will go with John

"Well, at least we can't say nothing exciting ever happens." she says to John in the elevator.

Once they reach the main floor, Michelle spots the broken lighting fixtures on the wall.

"Hmmm, maybe I can be of some use after all."

Using her magnetic powers, Michelle will wrap some of metal fixtures around Cosmo's legs and pin his arms to his chest

"He won't be going any quickly now. And," as she lifts the unconscious boy into the air, "neither one of us has to lift him."
