Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Mimic]

"Just wanted to do some shopping, is that too much to ask?" Michelle thinks as she pinches the bridge of her nose and waits for the tiger-girl to catch up. "Subtle just isn't in your vocabulary is it Mon? You didn't need to do that."

Michelle looks over to the boy and she flashes him her best smile. "Yea, that was us on the tv but we just want to have a nice day shopping without attracting a crowd. So how about doing us a favor and keeping quiet about this?"

Diplomacy +8

"I bet you'd light up like a roman candle just touching her," Carl says.

"I would get probably burned if she don't lower her aura for a moment, but if I can mimic X for a moment, there should not be any problem, he is pretty though against fire... and if she isn't burned by her own fire, I am sure I can mimic her immunity. I bet I can mimic her immunity without having to go the the hospital, if I can have accesss to X before. And it would be even easier if she lower her aura a bit."

[/b]You head to the front gate where UPS delivers a prepaid package. It's small, about 12 inches by 12 inches, and about six inches deep. It's packed carefully, and has a "This End Up" sticker on it.

Sanjay takes the package. He looks it over questioningly and grins at Vince. "Alright, some homebaked cookies. Way to go, Mom."

OOC: I know you don't normally use the interaction skills between PCs, but my Bluff is +6, just so you know.

"Break laws? Son, you saved those ladies there. I think both of us have a pretty good idea of what would have happened if you hadn't showed up. That should do it for what we need though. I'll get in contact with you at EPIC HQ if we need you for anything else and leave you to handle the press."

"Gee thanks."

The press are quick to converge.

"What happened?"
"Can you tell us what it's like to be in EPIC?"
"What can you tell us about your teammates?"
"Are you the leader of the new junior EPIC team?"
"How did you manage to take out all six of those thugs alone?"

Camera's are rolling and microphones are getting thrust at you in a frenzy of media attention.

OOC: And my god have mercy on you... because the media won't!

"Uhh, could we get a little order here, I can't answer questions when they're all yelled as once. How about we let each one of you ask one question, and I'll cycle through from right to left. If this plan doesn't do it for you I am willing to do my clam impression. You there on the far right, yes you maam, what is your question?"

"Oh hey, this is Steff and Lindy, Jerry and Lisa. Girls, this is Randall. He's our own real life super-hero escort!"

"How do you do ladies." With a flourish, Randall bows low before taking a seat next to Monica.

OOC: Cal, are you trying to make Loki's head explode?

You finish your first attempt at your dance combination, and you hear the sound of clapping. You turn to see Mendez sitting on the bleachers watching you.

"That's pretty good. My daughter used to do ballet, but left off it when she got older." He takes a drink from an overly large cup of coffee. "So, you wanted to see me?"

" Ballet's a little more structured than I like but it provides a solid base to build on." Raisa steps off the mat and walks over to the bleachers where she sits a few seats down from Mendez. "But having a casual conversation about dancing isn't why I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to do this yesterday, but things got a little carnage central around here."

She glances at him out of the corner of her eye. He was far less intimidating when he wasn't running around and shouting orders and saving the day, which made this that much easier. "I'm guessing you already know this - okay I know you already know this - but I wanted you to hear it from me. I lied to you the other night at the penthouse, about why Carl and I were at the strip club. I've got not excuse, and it was a really lousy thing to do considering you had just finished saving my oversized ass."

With a nervous little chuckle she leans forward and rests her arms on her lap. "I was always getting into trouble with the polícia back home for one reason or another, and it was barely a year ago before I started getting my act together. Yet, low and behold, I come here and fall back into my old habits of getting into situations that could get me arrested and sent to prison. Or worse! On a plane home to face Mamá.

"And then there's you," Raisa faces Mendez. "You had every right to kick me off the Junior team and send me packing. I lied to you, to your face without even blinking, and though you don't trust me - not like I've given you any reason to - you're still giving me another chance to prove that I can be a part of the team. And that is so totally beyond cool of you."

She smiles softly. "Who knew I could be so long winded. What I'm trying to say is thank you, for everything. Saving my life, not kicking my sorry ass out of here, and giving me another chance. I'm sorry I lied to you and it's not going to happen again."

"Subtle just isn't in your vocabulary is it Mon? You didn't need to do that."

"Need? Naw, but it was fun!"

"Yea, that was us on the tv but we just want to have a nice day shopping without attracting a crowd. So how about doing us a favor and keeping quiet about this?"

"I'll be quiet," he agrees readily. "It's better than being zapped and besides, I get to say I hung out with super-heroes. It'll make getting beat up tomorrow bearable."

Kevin

"I would get probably burned if she don't lower her aura for a moment, but if I can mimic X for a moment, there should not be any problem, he is pretty though against fire... and if she isn't burned by her own fire, I am sure I can mimic her immunity. I bet I can mimic her immunity without having to go the the hospital, if I can have accesss to X before. And it would be even easier if she lower her aura a bit."

"I think it's pretty tough for her to lower that. She did it yesterday in the war room and was shaking pretty bad."

Sanjay and Vince

"Alright, some homebaked cookies. Way to go, Mom."

OOC: Vince is gullible and buys it hook, line and sinker (Bluff 18 versus sense motive of 12). Of course, he probably wants to share unless they are some vile and inedible native food

John

"Uhh, could we get a little order here, I can't answer questions when they're all yelled as once. How about we let each one of you ask one question, and I'll cycle through from right to left. If this plan doesn't do it for you I am willing to do my clam impression. You there on the far right, yes you maam, what is your question?"

OOC: Top to bottom questions can be left to right. Start answerin'! Just to remind you...

"What happened?"
"Can you tell us what it's like to be in EPIC?"
"What can you tell us about your teammates?"
"Are you the leader of the new junior EPIC team?"
"How did you manage to take out all six of those thugs alone?"

Randall

"How do you do ladies." With a flourish, Randall bows low before taking a seat next to Monica.

There are computer geeks... you know a couple. These girls put them to shame. The are so into things you haven't even heard of with computers, it makes your head spin. Thankfully, the comedy starts up.

The routines are good, the food is great, you have a great time and then before you know it, it's 5:30 and it's done! Wow, time goes by fast when you're laughing your butt off. You end up walking with the girls through a residential suburb as they insist you show off your abilities to scare dogs and other pranks. Finally, you arrive at a very expensive looking house. Monica knocks on the door and an older teen answers.

"Monica! Hey cool, was wondering when you'd get here. You bring them?"

"Yup, Chuck. Right here," she says, producing the bag.

"Cool, I'll just," he starts, reaching for them. Monica pulls the bag back.

"Money first, buster," Monica insists.

"Hey, no problem," Chuck says, handing Monica a sizeable bag and taking the chips from her. "Thanks babe," he says, shutting the door.

"Ok, lets hit the LAN party gang," she says cheerfully, slipping the money into her jacket as you head off down the street.

Raisa

"Who knew I could be so long winded. What I'm trying to say is thank you, for everything. Saving my life, not kicking my sorry ass out of here, and giving me another chance. I'm sorry I lied to you and it's not going to happen again."

"Been practicing have we?" Mendez says with a barely perceptible grin. "I hope it won't," he says. "And don't think I won't know. At least when I was your age lying to the cops and my parents, my stories were believable. Clubbing at a strip joint... yeesh." He gets up and walks for the exit.

"Pretty messed up stuff the last few days. Things should settle down for a while hopefully, get you focussed back on school. Oh, and if you want to talk to Sanchez, you'll probably have to go to her workshop. She never leaves it, I swear," he says as the door closes behind him.

Holy crap are these texts boring... At least you get the physics of copulation... Many of the sites you may want to see are blocked by ARIS for containing questionable materials.

"I think it's pretty tough for her to lower that. She did it yesterday in the war room and was shaking pretty bad."

"Yeah? Well, that's make the challenge just more interesting..."

"I will have to remember to be more specific in my directions in the future... or, it could just be that I cannot escape the topic of sex, no matter where I go," X12 says with a sigh.


"ARIS, browse to M-Tac, please. Also, search for news articles pertaining to M-Tac operations within the last three years."

 

[Calinon]

"ARIS, browse to M-Tac, please. Also, search for news articles pertaining to M-Tac operations within the last three years."

"Working." There is a good two minute pause. "There are links to two hundred ninety six thousand, one hundred and fourteen news articles involving M-Tac. Would you like to refine your search, or shall I display the articles in some sort of order."

OOC: You will find no useful information unless I know what you are looking for.
