Gaming w/Jemal: Mutant Apocalypse Issue 1

[Zerith]

Felix was not quite ready for that, a gust of wind, she could probably fly, the one kind of Power that might be able to not only keep up with him, but out run him outright: and he was still in his human form… it took less time then he figured it would for their pressure to appear.
But, he needed to know, if this woman could fly, and hopefully do so without giving away that he knew more then he should have, but he was pressed for time and a bit woried, he leaned forwards with a feigned cheerful grin and stated “Ooooh! You flew here, didn’t you!” in childish whimsy and awe as a cold sweat started to form on his brow, they were in trouble, he knew it, and he could not help but show it despite his act.

Felix did not want to change in front of the stranger if he could help it, and it would take time, and he knew he could not change, grab Lora and flee before she could react, and he could not do anything without changing unless this woman let him… the situation was Vexing and he could not see an out that would not blow up in his face, however, if the woman proved hostile, he would not need much incentive to change form again.

<Alley - Felix & Laura>
The woman starts to respond to Laura with a smirk that dies as she looks down at Felix "..what? Flew? How did you.." She shakes her head "It doesn't matter, I'm not working for anybody, we're just trying to get you away from those people who came to get you. They're not really your friends, they work for a group of American terrorists who are trying to start a war. We needed to herd you up here where we could safely get you away from them."

The woman steps forwards to Laura "Please, come with me."


<Truck>
The rest of the crew cruises down the streets, trying to avoid the authorities while homing in on the signal that Grid has picked up. The TV disturbances stop, but Grid's fairly certain from the way they were moving that he can narrow down a location to within a few blocks, and directs Uomo towards it.

As they get further north, they notice less police activity. The mystery hacker must be keeping the police away from his position.

Just a few more moments and they'll be in the right area..

OOC: Truck people will have to wait a little longer to catch up, it takes a while to cross town.

Uomo steps on the gas pedal, narrowing his eyes; his arms, tensed in position dodge any car or person as he closes in.

Terry Quinlan, the Grid

"I don't like this, at all," Terry mutters nervously. "You don't clear an area because you're doing something fun and fluffy."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Indeed. That's why we are driving at 70 km per hour!" adds Uomo with a chuckle to himself.

As the mysterious woman talks Laura looks closely at her, the way she talks, her eyes shifting, stuttering, everything. "First off if you work alone, why did you say 'we're just trying' and secondly, do you mean those people as my friend's partners over here?"

OOC: Rolling an insight roll for her true intentions out of Laura's reaction to first meeting people. especially people who can fly and know what she is. Horay for useful skills ;D

[FONT=&quot]Meanwhile Felix grinned, she was less well informed then he feared, and Far more stupid. Felix could not help but let out a sinker before [/FONT][FONT=&quot]shifted back into his Hybrid form as Laura spoke and then[/FONT][FONT=&quot] sneaking around the woman who seemed to be taking too much interest in Laura and none in him. “You Don’t work for anyone, but you’re working with others, you’re their boss ja? this means you have invested interest in our capture, also. you’re a blunderer” Felix chimed after Laura had given him time to change and get behind the woman before adding “This is not a game of cat and mouse, this a game of bird cat and dog. You’re not the dog, and We’re not the bird, and in order to flee the dog, we need you to stop spotting us for it, now, ja? But we’ve wasted too much time, the hound is on our heels, So it is nap time now, Fräulein” Felix said plainly and without deliberation on the matter as he flicked his tail to the side and started to poster himself for a pounce with a predatory glint in his eye.

[sblock=OoC]Note, I'm hoping if he passes the apposed check he can basically shape shift without letting the lady get a other look at him while also doing it before combat, hop that's alright :3[/sblock]

"I never said I was working alone, I said I wasn't working FOR anybody. We're equals, not military or terrorist or government like the rest of them, we're just trying to save people like us, and right now that especially means you."

The woman glances nervously towards Felix as he speaks "Look Laura, I'm not trying to capture anybody, and if your 'friend' over here is working with the terrorists then we're out of time.." She stops as Felix continues his tirade. "I have no idea what kind of spy talk that is, birds and dogs.. but your threats are just proving me right." She turns to face him "Go ahead, show the girl your true colours."

Laura watches the two of them face off, and feels that the woman is sincere in her belief that Felix and his friends are the badguys..

OOC: Zerith, I'd appreciate if you didn't post numerous actions back to back during tense situations, it assumes that nothing else will happen in between. For example, Felix has hid, shifted, snuck around, revealed himself, spoken, and prepared to strike all assuming nothing happens at any stage in that. I'll go with it for now but in the future your posts are likely to get cut off very near the begining due to other actions invalidating the rest of your post.. which makes things VERY confusing when other people start posting assuming what you posted happens, and then everything spirals out of control. Everybody else - You'll be arriving soon, just hang in there. (This is one of the reasons I hate party splits, sorry all)

Uomo takes a sharp turn, the tires squeaking. "This is how we drrive in Rrussia!" he says. The driving continues to be reckless, as one would expect from someone with Vittorio's background. At one point, as he dodges a slow car, the fake russian comments. "This kind of mess is what happens when you don't listen to Grrigorrio, if I say 'We meet at X location' is because we meet at X location...Damn kids."

Trusting her intuitions Laura attempts to step in between Felix and the strange woman, turning and facing to Feelix "What she says is on her perspective, and may be true, however-" turning to the woman. "If you wanted my trust you could have come to me personally. I don't know how long you were spying on us, but there might have been a chance it was for more than one day. That chance is more than enough for a problem, especially now when you are following us and making us nervous. On top of that; you cut off the signals to our phones somehow, that just makes things worse." Turning back to Feelix "Come on we're already wayyy too late and overstayed our welcome, and I don't think this woman would harm either of us. Only if she was self-defending herself, and here I thought it was someone invisible or was a threat chasing us. She may have been even a possible bystander, would have been nice to known."

OOC: Going to attempt this wall of speeches before a fight breaks out, if I have to roll an initiative for it, sure, but if too late, then ignore it I guess? 0_o If she also does something while my back is turned, then go right ahead and interrupt.
