Message: <blockquote data-quote="Calinon" data-source="post: 1283828" data-attributes="member: 13737">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.</blockquote>
