EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Mordane76]

"I SERVE NO ONE!" X12 shouts, backhanding Jasman. "I served him long enough, and I will serve him no longer. You will help me. You will tell me what I came here to know, or I will kill you. I don't care what you've suffered - I'm done suffering. You will help me, or you will suffer at my hands like no other person has suffered before, and you will suffer until I decide you suffer no more," X12 spits, advancing on Jasman with murderous intent.

Jay have been absorbed by something, and he seems to not care about the discussion. At a moment, he exclamate "Mark Jasman!", slapping his forehead. He pauses a moment and looks at the others, most of them not listening as usual. "X12 have gone to see Mark Jasman. His office is in Morgentaller District... I... I can't remember the address. ARIS, can you find it? We had found a business card of that psychic during the events at the hospital. Another X was there and left it behind. X12 took it. He can have only been there. And if ARIS can't find the office address, Thunder's brother shoud know where to find the office.

So, Michelle, do you want to try to get X before we go see Split or we continue with what have been planned?"

 

[Deva]

The man of flame and darkness laughs, then abruptly stops. His head snaps to the side and his gaze finds... you. "Who do we have here?" he says ominously, in a voice that terrifies you enough to send you staggering out of your trance.

As though to touch the woman burns her, Lynn releases her hold on the wrist and steps to the side. "Whoa..."

Had it been just part of the vision, or had he really seen her? The visions were always disorientating, never knowing if she was looking at them from someone elses eyes or her own. He had to have seen someone else, the someone who's eyes she was peering at the future through.

She shakes her head to clear her thoughts, attention once again on the woman. She is more than a little confused by the image of the other X12s and this woman, but the memory of the badge was enough for Lynn. "I beg your pardon, Officer," She stammers, mortified now that she had interefered. "I didn't know. I just... I'm sorry, there's no excuse for my behavior."

So, Michelle, do you want to try to get X before we go see Split or we continue with what have been planned?"[/COLOR]

"No, we continue without him. If he gets back before we have to go then he can come along if he wants but I am not spliting up the team even more on the off chance that he will want to come along."

With a sigh she sits back down. "There isn't much to do now but wait for Split to contact us, unless someone else has any ideas. Cosmos," she adds turning her head to look at him. "Can your powers work in an area? and can it be selective?"

 

[Dalamar]

"If you'll excuse me, I'll go and see how Jennifer is doing with Jun Po," Johan says, and adds "and tell her we've contacted Split to start arrangements for her return to his cares" with an expression like one who had tasted something foul.

Morgentaller District
Lynn Jenkins
As you step back, you trip in the edging between the cobbled walk and the grass. As you fall, you brace yourself with your hand, and the painful crack and sudden shooting pain tells you you likely just broke your wrist...

The woman, however, ignores you and your stumble, rushing up into the house as X12 shouts some fairly questionable things and a loud slap rings out.

X12
You slap the blind telepath who reels from the blow. So focused on Jassman are you that you fail to see Majors rush up and into the house. She blindsides you with something that sends electricity coursing through you.

Attack roll of 21 (rapid strike) hits. Your damage save of 23 versus DC 31 still has you staggering. You suffer a stun hit and are stunned.

"That's because you're serving me," Majors says. "And you will continue to serve my needs, and no matter how much you suffer it will not be enough!" she says, in a voice that for the first time you've heard, or remember to have heard, betrays true emotion. She slams you again in the neck with a small device, the same electricity coursing through you.

Second attack roll of 18 (rapid strike) hits. Your damage save of 21 versus DC 31 nearly has you unconscious. You suffer a stun hit and are still stunned. You have no idea what she is hitting you with, but it packs a real punch.

Lynn Jenkins
The police woman draws out not a gun, but a metal rod of some sort and stabs it into the back of X12's neck. Her cold demeanor gives way to real emotion, anger and something more painful, as she shouts at him and jams the same device into his neck a second time. X12 staggers back, the psychic retreats along the wall and the albino woman looks on in horror, all as your wrist throbs in pain. Luckily, the street seems fairly quiet and nobody has taken notice as of yet.

You aren't 'disabled', you just have a broken wrist.

EPIC Headquarters
Sanjay
You get to X12's room to find the door locked, but someone is definitely inside, and from the cursing and banging about, you don't have to guess who. "You stupid <censored> jerk!" you hear, followed by something breaking.

Michael
"Well, we'll just be waiting for Split to call," Cosmo replies.

You get down to the senior epic members quarters, but naturally Trailblazers room is locked. As you look around to see if he's hidden a spare key somewhere, you hear Johan as he comes down the hall towards you.

Johan
You head out of the War Room and over to the quarters. Heading down the hall, you notice Michael outside of Trailblazers room, looking for something.

The War Room
"Area?" Cosmo replies. "No, I really put my powers on one person a round, but I can keep a few neutralized at once. It's pretty much all or nothing too."

Your discussion goes on for a few minutes with the few remaining people in the room when a message comes in, which ARIS soon brings up. Split appears on the screen.

"Imagine my surprise when I traced that message," he says with a smirk, "all the way to EPIC Headquarters. Why, I'm practically beside myself with emotion," he says.

From out of view you hear, in a texan accent, "It's a rifle, hoss."

"Ok, I'm beside myself with a rifle," Split says. "So, any crippling injuries happen in Brazil?" he says. "I mean after I contacted the wingless wonder and he turned down my help and all."

"I want my wing back you lowlife!" Vince shouts, zipping up to the screen and shouting at the mercenary. Split laughs and a slightly desicated wing dangles into view. Other laughter is heard from out of sight.

"Is that why you called," Split says tauntingly. "I like my wing. I think I'll keep it. I really hope that isn't why you called."

"He should not be here," Cosmo says quietly to Michelle and Jay, obviously thinking Vince might react badly to Split's taunting.

 

[Mordane76]

"Blow it out your , Seven," he spits, trying to regain some composure. "Go cry to Prophet about your eye, though I doubt he'll care - he's the one who had it taken from you. I don't serve you, either - I serve me."

OOC: HP to Unstun, Full Defense. I need some time to think... I need to take some ranks in Taunt...

Lynn: 4/5; Broken Wrist

Holding her wrist to her chest to keep it from moving too much, Lynn gets carefully to her feet. This was not exactly what she had in mind when her mother told her she was coming to the Epic school. She had thought classes, perhaps some training with her cognitive powers, a little fooling around with some of the guys... Not assaulting a police officer and getting visions that will now haunt her dreams for weeks, all on her first day and she had yet to check in with the school contact.

She grabs her duffle bag with her uninjured hand and walks into the house. "I do not mean to interfere, again," she says softly from off to the side, "But certainly there must be some better solution to whatever is going on here than threats and a cattle prod. I understand that it is none of my business, yet may I suggest X12 that you cease what you are doing? While you are in that uniform, you are a representative of the Epic organization and it would not do well for the School if you were to be seen escorted from the premises in handcuffs for assaulting the good Doctor." OOC: Diplomacy(20)

Fenris, 5/5, hunky dory

As Johan walks down the hall closer to Michael he begins to hear the series of rather impressive curses and insults Michael is throwing at the door.

Looking up and seeing Johan, Michael smiles. "Your the smart Johan, right? Could you do me a favor and unlock Trailblazer's door? He borrowed something I need back and I don't want to wait."

Play nice, if he wants to argue, there is always the hard way. Michael thinks to himself his grin becoming a little more feral.
