Epic M&M: Issue 5 (IC)

[Mordane76]

X12 face darkens...

"Nova died, Kevin -- you screwed up big time on this one. I don't know how long she was dead, but it took everything, and I mean everything, that I had to bring her back. I'm disappointed in you... very disappointed, but not because you took on more than you could chew. I'm disappointed that you chased after the Syndicate all by yourself, when three of us were down and the village needed help. You made a mistake... but I'm not your judge, I'm not your jury, and I'm definitely not the executioner. Everyone makes mistakes," X12 says, holding out a hand, his expression softening. "Now please, try and see if you can pick up some first aid from me, so we can go down there and help these people... together. This is a chance to start making amends for what happened -- you're gonna have to face the music on this one, though, and it's not going to be pretty, Kevin. But like I said back in the hospital at home -- I'm your friend, and I'll be there to help you as much as I can, Kevin."

"Big Red? Loki? LOKI!!!!!"

"Haha!" laughs Randall, un-blending himself from the surroundings. "What say we get some real food," as his illusion dissapears.

OOC: Whoa! Alvin and the chipmunk flashbacks... "Aaaaaalviiiiiiiiin!!!!"

"Nova died, Kevin -- you screwed up big time on this one. I don't know how long she was dead, but it took everything, and I mean everything, that I had to bring her back. I'm disappointed in you... very disappointed, but not because you took on more than you could chew. I'm disappointed that you chased after the Syndicate all by yourself, when three of us were down and the village needed help. You made a mistake... but I'm not your judge, I'm not your jury, and I'm definitely not the executioner. Everyone makes mistakes,"

"Everyone makes mistakes..." repeats Kevin,

Everyone makes mistakes, but mines are worst... And after what I have made to their village, will they want me to help them.

"Now please, try and see if you can pick up some first aid from me, so we can go down there and help these people... together. This is a chance to start making amends for what happened -- you're gonna have to face the music on this one, though, and it's not going to be pretty, Kevin."

I'll have to face the music. I hear it from here. It's my end in EPIC. Maybe worst...

"But like I said back in the hospital at home -- I'm your friend, and I'll be there to help you as much as I can, Kevin."

Friend? After what I've just done?

"Thanks."

With some hesitation, Kevin touch X12 and try to mimic his medecine skill.

"Go, don't wait after me. I need to put some clothes."

 

[Mordane76]

X12 smiles a little. "Okay, but don't take long. There's a lot of people down there that need help - the Syndicate really hit the village hard. When you get down there, find me first -- I'll be at the hospital. We can help each other manage the wounded, especially the more seriously wounded; two pairs of eyes are always better than one."

He turns, and starts to make his way back to the village as quickly as he can.

EPIC Institute
Sanjay
You cast out a beam from your hand to the floor, but before it hits the floor it fizzles out with an audible hiss. "Oh, come on, sport," Cosmo smirks. "You actually thought that was going to work? I've been training," he adds cockily.

No hit roll needed; he wasn't trying to avoid it, he's trying to neutralize it.

Power check vs Will save (modified by transmutation rank): Sanjay 12 (19) vs Cosmo 17 (27).

"Besides, I'm just trying to help you. I mean, have you even considered what's going to happen when X12 gets back?"

"Shut up!" Monica yells at him, and springs up, shifting fully into tiger form, slamming into him with her likely 400 plus pound weight. He shifts very slightly, and doesn't get pushed back or down, instead ending up holding her aloft by her neck in one hand, fending off swiping claws with the other. He grins and she glows black, then shifts instantly, and obviously painfully from her cry, back to her hybrid form.

"Jeeze, attacking me in the school? That's a pretty big no-no by the rules," he smirks, tossing her to the ground. "Whatcha think, sport? Should I tattle on your girlfriend?" He shakes his hand then sticks a finger in his mouth. "Heh, maple syrup," he laughs. "That's going to have to get cut out of her fur."

Loki, Vince
Assuming Vince doesn't kill Loki...

You both make it to the mess hall to find SJ, Michelle, Tara, Titan, Mendez and Hoppy sitting there, talking and eating.

Johan
"Umm.... no..." Anna says. "Sanchez put it in the jet already, and is going to put it on the scanner, so it's not really without permission since it's going to help us track the nanobots and catch the bad guys," she explains rapidly.

Your other self is strolling through HQ towards the War Room.

Lancheng, China
Raisa
On your way to the bathhouse, you see X12 entering the bunkhouse.

You retrieve your washcloth and water and head back to the dojo where Michael is waiting, crouched on the floor, claws tapping on the floor. As you get close, you see he has no wounds at all anymore, and start wiping the fur off.

"So," he says. "Maybe I can help in the town?" he asks hopefully.

 

[Dalamar]

"And Sanchez has already given you permission to alter your armor, hasn't she," Johan says with an amused smile. "Luckily for you, though, I didn't notice you doing anything like that, did I," he adds with a wink.

 

[Elementor]

Loki, Vince
Assuming Vince doesn't kill Loki...

You both make it to the mess hall to find SJ, Michelle, Tara, Titan, Mendez and Hoppy sitting there, talking and eating.

Glaring coldly at Loki, Vince does not give the least impression of a smile or ammusement. "You moron! I could have killed you!! I have to get to the hospital fast and I don't have time for this idiocy."

Storming off ahead of Loki, Vince sees the gathering in the mess hall. "Umm, hey guys. Thunder says I could die at any minute. Could I please get a ride to the doctor. I'd run but everytime I step outside I tend to get shot at."

 

[Velmont]

Kevins put some clothes and follow X12. When the village come in sight, he stop to run, and tare for a moment.

I can't do that... I... must do it. Must pay the price, whatever it will be.

And Kevin continue to follow X12.

 

[Agamon]

Sanjay's rage is barely contained, but Cosmo's display of power, coupled with his implied threat, makes him back down. He moves over to Monica and helps her to her feet, whispering to her, "Forget him, he's not worth it," as he does.

Looking back at Cosmo he says, "Hey, you do whatever makes you feel like a man, Coz. You know, like harrassing women for kicks?" Assuming Monica listens to him and lets Cosmo be, he'll turn to leave with her, adding, "Do yourself a favor and leave her alone, got it?"

 

[Mimic]

"Umm, hey guys. Thunder says I could die at any minute. Could I please get a ride to the doctor. I'd run but everytime I step outside I tend to get shot at."

"Bad joke Vince," she tells the speedster, she pauses as she looks at the expression on his face. "It is a joke right?"
