Generation Legacy Issue #15

[Tokiwong]

"Of course this scares me...millions dead, my own home destroyed, and with no idea of what's coming next? I'd be an idiot not to be. But finding Cardinal...well, first anyone going after her would have to go through all of the elites she keeps around her, and then there's the matter of fighting her, the toughest woman around." And, of course, there are other matters at hand. Like Overseer. Killing Cardinal helps Overseer win. Not good.

“Is she really that tough?” Sariyah asks.

"So you can find people? Like anywhere on the globe," Ryan asks incredulously. Hey, we could rescue Mrs. Mitchell, or find Red Witch. Or rescue James. She needs to talk with...Anika? No, probably too busy with Sami. And that little kid...wait a minute? Who the hell is that little kid? Mark? Not unless Paragon says so. And he might guess the truth about what happened in the garage. Tina would be up for something I'm betting. Gilden's cool as ice, he'd go. Probably not Kiyana, unless we're rescuing James. And I haven't seen Aya, Kal, or Gadget around.

“Well I can sense people, I am not sure how far or what my limits are. To find someone specific I need to see them, I can pull the images out of someone’s mind to do so, but I have to be able to see them. I think… finding people is easy I can sense everyone in this room… but someone specific is a little more involved if that makes sense?” she furrows her brow.

"Besides, I can't really just leave. I might lose my job or something. That's not much of an excuse, but stil..." Ryan says, trailing off, getting up, and heading back towards the male part of the shelter. "Hey! Tina! Gilden!"

Tina turns, “Ryan…” she walks over with measured steps, and she opens her mouth to say something and then just lets it slide away. She finally says, “You got a plan… don’t you?”

Cassie

One book seems to be written in Russian, the second in Chinese, and the third looks to be English; the Bible. The caveman-like humanoid responds, “Your hair looks fine you are a beautiful young woman, just like your sister. More a classic, earthy beauty. In more classical times men would spend their nights writing poetry to celebrate your charms.”

“My name is Ignatius do you require sustenance? I have tea and I can prepare you a meal. It will be hours before it will be safe for us to move again,” the gentle giant replies.

Cassie

"I wouldn't be adverse to a meal." She replies, it had been a long day. "I dyed it, my hair I mean. Then got half of it burned off, only to grow back in my orginal color." She stops realizing she was rambling due to nerves. "So you know Chance?" She says calmly leaving an opening for him to fill in things.

“Is she really that tough?” Sariyah asks.

"I...umm...hit her with a power drain. It would have crippled me, but she still had the power to take on a Delta class Elite. So yeah, she's really that tough." Assuming she wasn't lying, and she's that powerful all the time.

Tina turns, “Ryan…” she walks over with measured steps, and she opens her mouth to say something and then just lets it slide away. She finally says, “You got a plan… don’t you?”

"Not really a plan, but I don't feel like sitting around here feeling helpless and sad, locked in for our own 'protection,' do you? Assuming you're up for it. I was lucky enough that all of my family and friends live in Cleveland, thank God."

Gilden stared at the page, reading it over and over again. It was almost unbelievable, with this spell he could undo the destruction that Cardinal had done, he could saving the lives of millions of people as well as Kelly and Yoshi, he could... he could save his home world.

He closed his eyes and shook his head briskly, this book and the spells within were corruption incarnate. Why did Chaos give it to him, did he see what Cardinal was up to? Was this some sort of sick test to see how far he would go to make things right? At this moment it didn't really matter why Chaos gave it to him, he had it and now he had to decide what to do with it. How far would he go? Was his morals more important then the lives of millions?

He memorized as much as he could, in case the book decided not to show him this particular passage again, he closes the book but this time he keeps it with him when he leaves his sanctuary.

"Sarah? Are you on line?" If she doesn't answer he will fish out the cell phone that they gave him message both Anika and Mark telling them to meet him somewhere private as well as requesting a meeting with Paragon stating that it was important.

"Eternal huh?" Clover asks puzzled, from the information she was able to gather through her UN contacts and from that Kelly Mitchell girl's press confrences he didn't really seem all powerful, then again just looking at him to see if he was an Elite had given her a head ache like an Aerodyne falling on her head. "I really don't know much of anything about Eternals so I couldn't tell ya either...way." she says pausing when the evil twin made his quip and disappeared.

"I don't know Robbie, just looking at your energy flow makes my head hurt, trying to understand it probably would make my head explode like he said." The red head offered in amusment as the boy started snapping his fingers. "I think I'm going to go wash up a bit, it was nice meeting you Robbie." Clover tells the possible eternal indicating the dried blood on her hand and face from the nose bleed as she excuses herself, a little unnerved at how the boy had made her power go haywire, she didn't like not being in control, and her mother would probably pitch a fit if she saw her standing around with blood on her face.

The girl headed to one of the sinks in the common area. Washing her face to get herself looking presentable the girl looked around for other members of Legacy that she could hopefuly get to know. The UNJE was going to want to put its best face forward after everything that had happened, would want to show people that it was only a few Elites that were corked in the head, and that there was a veritable parade of elites doing what they could to help people. That could mean that the UNJE would be looking for a lot of new elites to show off, if they were Clover intended to be one of those new faces. She had been hopeful on the way to school that she might have been selected, and after everything happened, well she was a pragmatic girl.

Spotting Comet, Clover meandered in his general direction, she wanted to get a sense of him the most of anyone on the team...he seemed to be the most...practical member of the team from what she had heard of him, and she had been following the team for awhile. Mark seemed to just be a pretty boy that was put in charge for the photo op though she wouldn't mind having a romp with him, and Anika seemed nice enough, but the whole priestess thing made her a little wary. If she was going to get along with anyone on the team she was betting on it being Ryan. She stood watching Comet for a moment trying to assess what was up with him before approaching him.

(OOC: Sense Motive taking 10 for a 25 to assess his mood and the situation, she is just trying to figure out if he is approachable at the moment so I guess thats up to HH)

“I am not convinced, but at least I can hear your voice,” Star responds, “Kal is doing better, it is almost impossible to keep him in the bed to rest. I try to understand what I should feel about this incident and all I can come up with are the logistics of the death toll. The number seems staggering, early estimates are in the millions… how can we stop someone that has no qualms killing so many people? Are you scared?”

"I don't know. Yeah, I guess. It's...millions of people. Cities... One of the guys we were trying to rescue freaked out and started blaming us. What did we have to do with it? This guy actually saw us come to help him and started screaming about it."

 

[Tokiwong]

"Sarah? Are you on line?" If she doesn't answer he will fish out the cell phone that they gave him message both Anika and Mark telling them to meet him somewhere private as well as requesting a meeting with Paragon stating that it was important.

SARAH replies, “Hi Gilden, yes I am back online now thanks to Gadget, how may I assist you?”

Ryan & Clover

Sariyah looks away thinking, “Wow… power drains? I don’t even know what all that means but okay, she sounds bad.”

Tina shrugs, “I think the more we sit on our ass the more time we give Cardinal and her hit squad time to attack another city. We should target every public asset they have and hit it hard… no prisoners.”

“You mean kill them?” Sariyah asks.

“No, I mean tickle them till they give up the will to resist. Of course kill… this is war chica, they hit us first now we gotta finish it before things get way out of hand,” Tina says bitterly.

Cassie

Ignatius nods, he spends the next few minutes reading the pages flipping the pages quickly on each book finishing them in minutes. He sighs, “I will cook now.” He stands works his way to where some game is hanging and begins to prepare the food using hand fashioned tools and primitive methods. He says nothing while he prepares the meal.

He pours Cassie tea and takes a seat while the food cooks, “I do not know Chance directly; I only know what I have heard from the Doctor. The Doctor does think very highly of Chance, but sees her as a valuable asset to be kept close in case she turns out to be useful.”

The tea has a sweet taste with a slightly bitter aftertaste, but is soothing at the same time. Ignatius stares at Cassie, “You should eat the Doctor will be here soon, then we can leave.”

“He was scared Mark, humans get scared. When they are afraid from my observations they don’t see things the way they should. They want to blame someone else for what is happening to them, they want to have a target. Being a public figure you should be used to that by… well I guess in your case you don’t see much negative press. Do you think other people will think like him… and say that this was somehow your fault? That does not sound logical to me, the UNJE is doing everything they can to make this right,” Star replies.

“I just know they are.”

Cassie nods. "I imagine the right sort of folk would find her useful. Given her bent towards violence." Cassie says as she sips her tea. "Who is this doctor?" she asks as she looks to see what the book in English is about.

The English book is the Bible. Ignatius replies, “The Doctor takes care of me. I cannot exist in normal society looking the way I do. I tried once. They tried to use me; make me perform my tricks for them. Study me.”

“But the Doctor made them stop. The Doctor made it better and brings me books to read. The Doctor brought me here and told me that I would never have to worry about being used again. I make things for the Doctor, to help the Doctor. I am not dumb, I look dumb, but I am not dumb,” Ignatius replies.
