EPIC M&M: Issue 2 (IC)

Randall and Vince
Jackal and Cosmo head into a huge Chapters store as you pass. There is a huge pink bunny ear sticking out of the bag Jackal is carrying but Randall forces Vince to pass without comment. Vince looks like he's going to explode from holding it in. But the conflict that would have come passes with a hearty lunch of burgers, fries and shakes.

You enter the arcarde after eating, arming yourself with tokens, and take up the first challenge of a high tech 3-D same-team shooter game. As you play, you notice that people are paying a lot of attention to the two of you. Randall can't see anything wrong with his illusion, so you don't know what's up. A particularly large group of kids and teens are pointing and talking behind you.

Raisa and Michelle
"... an' it would be a cryin' shame for your brother if ya didn't," you both hear as you walk up behind Carl. Your sudden appearance and comments startle him and shut down the conversation immediately.

"Friends of yers, Whisper?" a heavy-set italian man says.

"Didn'tcha hear, Tony. It's 'Carl'," a far more wirey man says in a fairly high pitched voice and the two share a laugh.

"Yous take care of your women there," the first man says with a pause. "Carl," he finishes, stressing the name with sarcasm. "We'll be inside when yous done yer business. They a bit young, but maybe we work out somefin wit 'em in the deal," he says, giving a lewd wink to the two girls before walking inside.

Carl stops either of you from following the men or really saying anything by turning to you. His hands are clenched at his side and he glares down at both of you. "What the heck are you doing? Get back to shopping before you screw everything up." As he finishes he looks over his shoulder to mark where the two italians sit.

In The Theatre
John, you sigh as your father picks apart the film, comparing it to countless Bond films that you haven't seen. Sadly, he's quickly ruining the film for you.

Raisa shares and uneasy look with Michelle, then glances at the two sleazeballs now sitting in the cafe before turning her attention back to Carl. Though she has to look up at him, she is (I hope) unfazed by his unhappy glare. "I don't have to be a telepath to know something's not right here, Carl." She keeps her voice hushed. "They've been drilling in our heads for the last few weeks that we're suppose to be team, and from my perspective it's looking like on of my teammates is into something over his head."

She notices the two men watching them from inside and plasters a flirty smile on her face, giggling like an infatuated school girl, but still keeps her voice low. (ooc: perform 7) "So now I'm thinking you have two options here, bonito. You either tell us what's going on before your friends inside get supsicious, or I go find Ms. Desrochers and let her deal witht this situation of yours. Your choice."

"Or better yet we could go in and have a nice long conversation with your two friends. I'm sure they would be more then willing to tell us what we want to know." Michelle adds quietly, trying not to look at the two men sitting in the cafe.
(ooc: Bluff +7 She is totally bluffing, she would rather not going sit with the two slime balls if she can help it)
 

Raisa and Michelle

Carl doesn't look like he's too interested in telling you anything. "I know exactly what I'm doing," he shoots back.

"Back in LA, my brother started running numbers. He got robbed by someone and came up short. Way short. He can't pay up, so he's pretty much a dead man. Unless I do a little job here for these guys. Pretty simple choice, don't you think.

"If I go to the cops, he's dead. If EPIC finds out, they'll go in heavy handed as always and he's dead. So you got a choice. You can go running to Empath and then help me book my trip to a funeral, or you can keep your mouth shut and get lost, cause I can guarantee you do not want to help me do this job, whatever it turns out to be."

"Um, Vince? Maybe we should check out another game somewhere else," Randall gestures over his shoulder with his thumb.

OOC: Loki will make absolutley sure his illusionary mask for Vince is ok.

"But dad, Goldfinger wasn't even three-dee, how cool could it really have been. Anyway, who's Sean Connery?"

"I'm not going to say a word to anyone," Raisa says and places a hand on his arm. " But I'm not going anywhere either.

I'm no saint, Carl, I even have a criminal record. Anyone ever tell you that? The point I'm getting at is this: I use to get into serious trouble back home, and the best way out of trouble is with help from friends. Your brother's in trouble and you're trying to help. Well, if you like it or not, so am I. I'm not leaving your side. Teammates, remember?"

"Well dude, I am on the inside of this illusion so I cant see how I look but from the reactions around here I am guessing that my wings might be the cause of the attention. Lets book before the questions start."

"What makes you think they are going to let you off that easy? Once they get their hands in something, they don't let go. There has to be a better solution then this."

"I won't say anything either, but I'm not leaving either."
