Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Velmont]

Johan will get to where Kevin is.

"Guys I... Raisa... alive and... in dirt..."

"What is he telling? Johan, you're the brain, can you get rid of that scramble and get something clear" say Kevin while he touch Johan to mimic his power and feats. "I will start to dig in case Raisa still in that... and Sanjay, solidify the walls, so there would not be another collapse while I dig."

Kevin will start to duplicate, and each duplicate will dig up to where Raisa was last seen.

"Well, if that's my only option for getting through that door and to freedom," Anithos says with a grin. They approach both of you and deliver you your demands. You nearly faint from the excitement. But the moment passes, and when you blink your eyes open...

...Anithos is gone and the rusted door lies in a magnetically crumpled heap across the sewer, though you don't remember doing that. Your whole skin is tingling though, just like when he boosted your powers. That and the scent of his cologne lingering in the air is the only evidence he was here.

About a minute later, there is a vibrating sound, and Carl appears up through the ground. Seeing Raisa lying on her side, he rushes over. "Raisa? Raisa, are you ok?" he asks, pulling her to sit upright. He taps his communicator. "Guys? I found Raisa. She's alive and on the surface, just covered in dirt," he says, then shuts it off again. "We gotta rinse your eyes out." He grabs the nearby water bottle and tries to start rinsing out your eyes.

Still a little dazed, Raisa lets Carl wash out her eyes leaving streaks of mud now trailing down her face. "I'm fine," she says after a moment, blinking away the water and pushing him away. "Just stop your fussing."

She stands, using the wall behind her for support and begins the futile task of brushing the dirt from her uniform. "That mole guy pulled me out. I don't know what they were after, but a few of them didn't seem all that bad. He could have just left me in there to suffocate and it would have been my own fault." Raisa glances at the sunken hole where the tunnel had been. "Kevin was right behind me, he didn't get trapped too did he? Takes my power and my stupidity."

 

[Mimic]

"Wow... now thats a kiss." She tells Tara dreamily.

"Come on, we have to make sure everyone is ok." Michelle will lift off the ground holding on to one of Tara's arms. As they fly back the way they came, Michelle will giggle and glance over at her friend.

So what do you think of older guys now?

 

[Dalamar]

Johan will try to get the communicator working properly.
"Carl, can you hear me? Could you repeat what you said, we did not hear it."

OoC: If that's a Computer Use check, it'll hopefully be easy. If not, well, here's hoping I don't scramble it even more.

Johan
Anna has some simple tools she gives you from her suit and you pry off the communicator. Everything seems fine, but perhaps a boost of power would help. You thief a few wires from Anna and connect the communicator to your force field belt and it boosts the power enough to cut through the interference.

A quick confirmation request from Carl later and you get a response, clear as day.

"Raisa's fine. The Mole pulled her out. They got away though. We'll head back to the freeway and meet you guys there."

It's probably a good idea because removing as much dirt as you calculate is in that hole will take a long time, and even if you clear it, the sides are going to just collapse again, and lord knows what it will do to any structures above you! You quickly warn against futher digging, citing several sources and describing in detail the peril of continuing, both to yourselves and the general populace above.

Computers check 36. Damned karma. Mathematics check 25. General physics check 22.

Raisa
"He was fine when I saw him last," Carl says. "He got back to the sewer when the dirt was collapsing."

Johan's voice comes clearly across the communicator, asking you your status. Carl responds.
"Raisa's fine. The Mole pulled her out. They got away though. We'll head back to the freeway and meet you guys there."

Carl starts heading towards a large embankment and tall wall. "Come on," he says. "Freeway's just over here." Assuming you follow, when he gets to the wall, he grabs your hand and pulls you right through it, your entire body vibrating as if you sat in one of those vibrating chairs at the mall. It tickles something fierce and makes your skin itch. But sure enough, when you emerge, you are looking down at the Freeway, backed up cars for miles, your EPIC van a quarter mile away, and the ring you fought in about a quarter mile from that.

Michelle
You lift off and Tara very reluctantly follows. You have the distinct feeling she'd go the other way if you let go. "He wasn't that much older," she says wistfully. "Maybe 20. I can handle 20." The cockroaches go back to where they came from as the two of you leave.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: I suppose it took a little bit of time to Johan to repair, so I will assume I had the time to take his power and duplicate 3 times...

"Good to hear she is fine!"

"Yeah, good idea to go back up, I think it will take to a whole team about an hour to make our way up."

"And how can you evaluate that, you never dig during your whole life."

"Calm down, it will take time, he is right, at least, too much to catch those bunch of outlaw. Come on, it is finish."

"And where is Michelle? And Tara?"

"I hope they are not gone with that prestidigitator"

"They are flyers, they must have tried to take them by the air"

"And we will need to buy a new suit, that one have been ruined by all those rumble"

"I start to understand what you may think of me..." one of the Kevin whispers to Johan "and I don't know how you can live with that much duplicate of yourself, must be a hell."

On that, Kevin and his three duplicate walk back throught the tunnels back to the highway.

"You know, afterthat exercise I feel like a real minor-leaguer" grumps John as he returns to to the freeway with the rest.

"You know, afterthat exercise I feel like a real minor-leaguer" grumps John as he returns to to the freeway with the rest.

"I know whatcha mean," Sanjay nods to John. "I freakin' carried Loki all the way here so he could tell us we're chasing illusions," he adds, rolling his eyes.

 

[Velmont]

"At least, you did something constructive..."

"What have I done good up to now?"

"Even today, I got caught by that illusion..."

"And I stayed immobolized on the combat field, looking at a snake..."

"My brillant performances continue!"

"Oh, yeah thinking of that..."

"Yeah, we have some information about the Red Rose Syndicat"

"I was forgetting it"

"Nothing great, but it may give us a lead on what have happen since when arrive in EPIC"

"Let's talk about that at the headquater, so Mendez and Thunder may here it too..."

"Why Thunder wasn't here?"

"And X? There is some policeman who would have liked him."
