Epic M&M: Issue 5 (IC)

[buzzard]

"Yep Dad, seems like she likes me. She's inviting me out already. I suppose it wouldn't be right to have to refuse.

E-mail:
Stephanie,

All that does sound great. I like climbing, though I guess I can cheat a lot these days. I'm really not sure when't Id have time for a big vacation though. When I find out, I'll let you know.

Now as for the football game, I'm there. Any opportunity to root against the mistake on the lake is something I will take. I'll have to make sure I'm not stuck in something here at EPIC, but I'll scrub the bathrooms to get that time off if I have to.

John

[then after reading th Murphy e-mail]
"Hey Dad, get a look at this e-mail. It sure looks to me like that company didn't really come clean. Looks like I was wrong about that Murphy guy. I guess I better tell somebody about this. ARIS could you forward the e-mail from Mr. Murphy to Thunder please?"

"Go help them Li, I don't worth the trouble. Don't waste time, go help them."

Kevin's starts to walk back to Wen's academy. He looks like a lifeless body who can barely walk. When he finally reach his room, he just fall on the ground and stare at the roof. All that happen since he became Epic is showing before his eyes. He sees people around him, everyone have been hurt by what he has done. He sees nothing good, only an egocentric little boy. A boy that puts his personals things before everything else. And then he sees Nova's body, burned and lifeless, on the ground, and Kevin's starts to cry again, and that time, he just can't stop it.

"That pain... it must... be... stop."

 

[Elementor]

"Urgent? That cant be good. ARIS, please open the Doctor's email. I can figure out what the bat-signal is later."

 

[Deva]

Tired, dirty, grumpy, Raisa was almost in the mood to leave the hogs where they were and have a nice suckling roast for supper. She contemplated for a moment, but when both she and the farmer realize his son was down there she doesn't hesitate.

She'll leap down into the stockade and move what debris needs to be moved to get the boy out and yes, she will even attempt to free the pigs.

You reach to click on the icon, only to find out that it isn't on the screen, but about four inches in front of it. The angle made it hard to tell at first, but now that you notice it, you also see that it's an illusion. As your hand pass through it, an illusionary image of Anithos appears.

"Sometimes, it is not what everyone else sees, but what you see that is important," he says, his voice laden with innuendo. "Sometimes, that which is not there for anyone else, can point you in the right direction."

With those words, the image bows and vanishes. ARIS activates as soon as the illusion fades.

"Hello, Loki. You have an e-mail message from Monica," ARIS says.

Johan
OOC: This is very simple repair, but a fairly advanced piece of gear, so DC 15. You can take your time and automatically bang out the dents in about an hour without a repair check.

As one of you bangs the dents out of your armor and buffs it up to its newly polished shine, your other selves work the chain winches and use laser sighting to mount the flat scanner on the front roof of the van. The computer wiring is going to be a bit tricky, but you think you can manage it.

OOC: Craft check (DC 15) to mount it securely results in an 18. Computers check to wire it in to the van's computer (DC 20) is a 4 (22) and you sir, have sick computer skills.

As you're working, Sanchez says, "Soooo, did you see anything... interesting at Lockheed?"

Michelle
"I dunno," Tara says, still scolding Hoppy. "I am not saying anything to Thunder. There's no way I'm helping to put Anithos in jail, and you know he'll want to lay a trap or something," she says.

Sanjay
"Of course, Sanjay," ARIS replies.

You hop in the shower quickly and get dressed again, rushing out of your room. As you do, you run into Monica as she's just reaching for your door handle. "Ooo, someone was getting anxious," she purrs, leaning up against you. "But here I am, sport," she adds, nuzzling your neck with her feline nose and whiskers.

John
"Looks like he's turnin' over a new leaf or something, hey boy?" your dad says after looking at the E-mail message briefly after exiting the bathroom.

"Message forwarded, Straightjacket," ARIS replies.

Vince


You click the message open and find it's a video message of Doctor Worthy.

"I hope you get this in time," she starts quickly. "I was studying the skin and blood samples you gave me and suddenly," she says, and the camera pans to her workstation. There is a ton of broken glass and vials. "The samples magnified in size. The growth happened so fast, some of them shattered their containers. If this happened here, it's very likely that the same thing is going to happen to you! Get to your physician quickly and get checked out. I've attached my findings here for reference. I've already sent a message to Thunder in case you are not well."


​

The flappy bat is still flapping along when ARIS beeps and Thunder's face appears on the screen. "Vincent, I got an E-mail from Lockheed's Doctor Worthy saying you could be in for some rather sudden changes? You feeling ok?"

The nurse appears very well qualified to do her job. Li comes in about 30 minutes with clean linen and bandages, along with some medicines.

"Kevin is at the academy," she says flatly, without much concern, the first time you've seen her act negatively towards anyone.

Raisa
You jump down into the muck and start prying up the roof. With a heave, you hoist the beams, sending mud flying everywhere, and some things you refuse to think about. The young man, about your age, watches with wonder as you pull him out of the mud, still holding the entire roof aloft in one hand, and pass him to the reaching hands of Xi above you. Finding a log you manage to brace the roof up enough to start pulling the squealing hogs out. When you finally get all eight out, you resemble more a creature of muck than a girl.

You go over to the side and Xi looks down with a slight smirk on his face and he doesn't reach down right away. Dara looks down and giggles. "You look like a monster from an horror film."

"Do you think it's safe to let it out among the populace?" Xi says with a slight smirk.

Master Wen's face appears over the edge of the stockade. "Oh my," he says. "Are you alright, Raisa?" he asks, then turns to Xi. "That is Raisa, right?" you hear him say quietly to Xi, who nods in response, trying not to laugh.

Kevin
You kinda lay there crying.

 

[Agamon]

"Monica..." Sanjay says, pulling away from her. "Look, I have to see Thunder right away, it's really important." His determined look changes to worry as he looks down the hall. "I'm sorry, I gotta go, I'll see you in a bit, okay?" He dashes off towards the War Room once more.

 

[Deva]

You go over to the side and Xi looks down with a slight smirk on his face and he doesn't reach down right away. Dara looks down and giggles. "You look like a monster from an horror film."

"Do you think it's safe to let it out among the populace?" Xi says with a slight smirk.

Master Wen's face appears over the edge of the stockade. "Oh my," he says. "Are you alright, Raisa?" he asks, then turns to Xi. "That is Raisa, right?" you hear him say quietly to Xi, who nods in response, trying not to laugh.

"You know," Raisa says evenly as she tries to scrape some of the gunk out of her hair, "go ahead and laugh. Get it all out, because when I find that jackass Kevin no one will be laughing then. He does more damage than the Red Rose goons do, nearly kills two of ours not to mention how villagers he endangered, then he has the balls to run out of here leaving us to clean up his mess. Again! I'm sorry Master Wen, but unless you want to lock me in the dojo with Michael nothing is going to stop me from knocking some sense into that boys head!!"

No doubt about it, she is seriously pissed off. Still, she looks up at everyone staring down at her with a crooked grin. "Now is someone going to help me out of this filth or am I going to be bringing you down here to keep me company?"

 

[Mordane76]

"Can you help the nurse here, Li," X12 asks. "I have something I need to take care of," he says, not waiting for her to respond. Using the commotion of minor injuries, X12 slips out of the hospital and starts making his way out of the village, towards the academy.

OOC: If Master Wen stops me, I'll go back, otherwise, if someone else tries to stop me, I'll tell them I'm going out to check for injured in other parts of the village. I plan on making my way back to the academy as quickly as possible.

 

[Elementor]

ElementorThe flappy bat is still flapping along when ARIS beeps and Thunder's face appears on the screen. "Vincent, I got an E-mail from Lockheed's Doctor Worthy saying you could be in for some rather sudden changes? You feeling ok?"

"Yes sir. Well, I was feeling fine until I found out that I was about to be turned inside out and exploded. At the moment I would have to describe myself as physically ok but fairly queasy for obvious reasons. I wouldnt be against getting an immediate checkup though......Please? Maybe a trip to see your bro can tell us more." Instinctively, Vince turns to run to the doctors office but the thought of 'popping' while running down the street stops him in his tracks.

"Ummm, Thunder? Do you think someone could give me a ride?"

Before leaving, Vince will take a look at the flappy bat message.

"There were quite a few interesting sightings, but since we made a promise not to disclose any information, I don't believe I am allowed to talk of such matters. On the other hand, we did come across a shard of the Mole's claw, but I do not know how much information we can decipher from that."

OoC: Yeah, and it was darn expensive getting the skills. Speaking of computer skills, whatever happened to the little girl that Johan expelled from the computer?
