EPIC M&M: Issue 6 (IC)

[Agamon]

Sanjay stares at the confrontation as he eats. He looks at Monica's mom and back at Thunder and back at her and back at him as they argue. "Wow, you'd think they were..." He pauses mid-chew as Thunder, electricity crackling around him, lands beside Monica's mom's cat-form. "Whaaat...?"

Mrs. Simpson's threat is enough to stir Sanjay to action, though he does so very reluctantly. As he passes them, he gives Michelle and Tara a wave and a half-smile/half-grimace, before launching himself up to the second floor beside the other two.

He looks at Monica's mother, obviously doing his best to completely ignore Thunder's presence. "Hi, Mrs. Simpson. You won't find Cosmo too helpful (no surprise there), but I can show you to your daughter. She's sleeping, but I'm sure she'd like to see you."

OoC: After checking, it turned out to be Stun (the holding net was used by the cop on the rogue cop).

IC: Johan a localized stunbolt at the first Search Protocal even as he turns to face the second threat. (Stun, then Full Defense)

Jay slowly walk up to Carl, taking a serious look at the boy, to try to percieve who he is.

"Nice technology, isn't it? Can I ask you where you found it? I don't generally lay my weapons at arm lenght of civilians, or even my closest friends, just an habits that my sergeant gave me. Now you have satisfied your curiosity, I would like to take it back."

 

[Mimic]

"Yea, I think that explains a lot about Monica." Michelle responds only to surpress a giggle at Tara's next statement.

"Now why would you say that for? Obviously they are totally in love with each other but don't know how to express it." She responds with a small laugh

As he passes them, he gives Michelle and Tara a wave and a half-smile/half-grimace, before launching himself up to the second floor beside the other two.

Michelle watches Sanjay fly up to the second level with a look of disbelief on her face. "Oh my God, I can't believe he is going up there. He is either really brave or really stupid, probably a little of both." She says with another chuckle. "Either way should be interesting to watch." She adds taking another bite of her food.

 

[Elementor]

"But father, the more good deeds I do with this face the more recognizable I become as a hero. What better advertising than to have a hero heading up your company? I dont think this is the kind of thing that needs to be decided here and now though." Lifting his massive frame from the ground, Vince walks up to his his dad and gives him a hug. "I love you Dad. Thank you for thinking of me even with everything else in your world in such upheaval right now."

You get to the curtain and pass through as stealthily as you can. There is a badly wounded man with a compound leg fracture and a severe head wound being tended to by a nurse and a man wearing a doctor's outfit. Neither the doctor or nurse notices you come in.

The doctor has his hand on the patient's forehead, and another on his chest. A glow surrounds his hands, then the patient and with a crack his leg sets and heals and the wounds on his head fade. The doctor shows no ill effects of the healing.

It is then that you notice a few minor details. A bulge at his back along his beltline which may be some sort of weapon, his footwear are sturdy, military style boots and his hair is kept quite long, covering his neck. There is the faint scent of acid that seems to be exuded from him, but it would be far too faint for a normal human to detect.

Jay
When you approach the massive, eight foot tall, african american youth, you see he is wearing an EPIC uniform. "No weapons allowed in operating rooms," he grunts. "So I took it off you. Didn't seem to notice at the time." He seems to know his way comfortably around weapons, and isn't mishandling your weapon or abusing it or anything. Holding your gun in one hand, he pulls his own out of his holster.

"Probably more accurate than mine. Just got semi and fully auto, can do an explosive shot too. Used to have stun, but buggered it up and Sanchez aint fixed it for me yet. I can get decent accuracy if I do this," he says, clikcing a depression in the grip. A stock pops out, and the barrel elongates into a more rifle shape. He clicks again and it goes back to normal. He spins it in his hand and offers it to you stock first.

"Heavier than yours but probably packs more punch."

"You can follow them if you want, I think I should stay here. I'm heading out soon anyway," Tara says as Sanjay flies up.

"Yeah, we need to leave soon. Fuzzball won't wait for long. He's pretty pissed off about the whole thing," a young male voice comes from out of nowhere. A quick glance around tells you that nobody seems to be around...

Sanjay
Monica's mother eyes you up, making you feel dreadfully uncomfortable.

"Oh great, this is just what I need," Thunder mutters quietly. Monica's mother immediately seems to perk up.

"You've already made him mad, so that's a mark in your favor," she growls in her odd, feline voice. "Kind of strange looking with those stripes," she comments, slipping a furry arm through yours and starting you walking in a random direction. She starts stroking your arm oddly, kind of like she's petting you which in itself is a funny thought.

"So just who are you to my Monica?"

"Recovery is this way," Thunder says, trying to steer you the 'right' way.

Vince
"I'll take that as acceptance of my offer then," Ms. Vaile says. "I'll have my lawyer call you in the morning. Have fun bonding," she adds with a wave as she heads out the door.

Your father tries to casually break the embrace, but he's still pretty steamed at Ms. Vaile. "Being a hero is one thing," he says, more harshly than he would under normal stress levels. "But being like... this is another.

"I've already gone over your DNA samples with the doctor and he's certain that the physical mutations and the genetic alterations giving you speed and some of your other abilities are not tied together in an unbreakable fashion. You can be normal again," he says. "And in Brazilia, being a mutant may grant you some benefits, but appearance is everything."

Johan
A sonic pulse gun appears in your hand, looking like something out of a bad sci fi film. The effect is fairly nice however!

Attack roll: 28 (nope, that's not a crit)
Will save (DC19): 12 fails (stunned)

The man staggers back as a massive stream of energy slams into him. He clutches the sides of his head with his forearms as if to block out the stunning noise. You whirl about to find your friend the troll tromping up the isle. This time, he's dressed in M-Tac armor, but there's no mistaking giant two headed angry troll, no matter what it may be wearing. It's wooden clubs have been replaced with shiny metal clubs. Both clubs give a 'sproing' sound and double axe blades spring from each as it lumbers down the hall towards you! You'd have to guess this particular security protocol is updated from the last 'troll' you faced.

Luckily, it is still half a round away. However, the phrase, "How can something that big move that fast" comes to mind.

Initiatives: Johan 34, SP1 31 (stunned - power), SP2 30 (charging)

You get to add your datalink to DC's of powers while in cyberspace. So when using a rank 5 gadget, you add 4 ranks of datalink to get +9 instead of +5. I think you get the picture

 

[Agamon]

"I'm kinda strange looking?" Sanjay thinks momentarily. Monica's mother's...what'd he call her, Tyra?...her touchy-feely extroversion wasn't a surprise. Like mother, like daughter, so he just went with it.

"Um, my name's Sanjay. I'm Monica's teammate and um, boyfriend, I guess. She's...not with Cosmo anymore." A perfect opportunity for a Cosmo-related slur, but she might like him, for some impossible to understand reason. It was always a mystery to Sanjay how Monica could stand to be around Cosmo, let alone date him...but maybe not so much anymore.

Sanjay tries to shake away an oncomming frown at the last thought, when Thunder speaks. "She's not in recovery," he states in an almost defiant manner, attempting to steer Tyra in the right direction. Speaking to Thunder officially put him in a bad mood. Looking at the cat-woman, he asks, loud enough for Thunder to hear, "So where's Monica's dad? I figured he'd be concerned for her well-being, too..."

OOC: Stripes? Does Neutron have stripes?

 

[Velmont]

"Well, it was the last of my problem at that moment. Caring to put in safe place the weapon before taking care of the dying man I had in my arms seems a little bit out of the situation."

Jay takes the gun Carl offer him.

"Nice. I prefer his weight. Feeling more like handling something. But on the long run, better to have a ligthweight weapon. I am not an engineer but I have handle and repaired many weapon. Not that one, must be a pretty limited edition, but if you want, I could take a look. But I can't garanteed anything... thinking twice, it might be better waiting for Sanchez, seems quite a piece of technology."

Jays gives back Carl's weapon.

"And for his firepower, I can't tell. It was the first time I used that gun. Have many option on it. Blinding light, heating ray that exhaust the body and laser. Single shot or full auto. Nice piece of technology that I need to try a bit more and sees it limits. I think I'll have plenty of time once we go back to EPIC.

In case you don't know, my name is Jeremy Alfredson York, but people usually call me Jay. And I'm joining EPIC. If you are interested, we could try some shooting competition. Used to do some in the army. I classified pretty well among the junior. But still need some trining to come up to the level of the veteran."

"An older doctor sent me over here to assist," X12 says. "Has anyone identified this soldier, and notified his superior of his situation?" he asks the doctor.

OOC: Ready action - Assume Total Defense if someone attacks me.

 

[Dalamar]

"Here goes nothing," Johan says as he fires a sonic blast at the troll. Not waiting to see whether he hit or not, the young mutant started running, heading back to the 'cross-road'.
