Without thinking she smiled at Nicolas and in her most sultry voice stated, "Devious thoughts often causes me to cease in my blushing." She chuckled vaguely as her minded wandered down a inappropriate path. Before long she suddenly realized what she had blurted out. Then, as if sensing the awkwardness of the moment she quickly glanced away as she felt her cheeks start to burn.

After taking a moment to 'cool' herself, she then smirked. "Although I *might* be satisfying to watch my make Gremlin eat a bologna and turd sandwich, I think it would suffice just to watch his clothes melt off to reveal that he is dressed in My Little Pony underoos."

She laughed. Oh the innuendo!
 

"Oh, sorry." Wi-Fi looks sheepish. "Calypso, right? Well, we were thinking... at least, I think we were thinking... anyway, we were thinking of filling Pyro's room up with water, which he's deathly afraid of."
 

Calypso blinks. Talk about doing things the hard way...

"Well, you'd have to change the pipes to pour water in his room, then make his room watertight," she points out. "Then hope it fills up before he comes back...and hope that he comes back before any of the professors realize something's wrong with the water system."

She gives a shrug and says, "Probably easier just to make a bubble of water around his head if he's scared of it."

Derek shook his head "Well, I don't think we should screw with the water pipes, Alchemist. I can make the water if Calypso here would be kind enough to control it. I don't think we should go QUITE that far with it just yet, though. Like you said, we don't want anybody to get HURT. Maybe if he just happens to get wet a whole lot.. the pipes in his room burst and spray him, but then when he calls the teacher everything's normal, he walks past a water fountain and it sprays him. Little stuff, and a lot of it.. And then maybe finish off with something big like whatever you guys had in mind, but make sure it's reversible and untraceable."

They sat down with their food as they continued talking.

Gwen 27
Temper 27
Quarterback 18(A)
Lightspeed 18(B)
Colossus 17
Sabretooth 10

Gwen heads for Blob, sticking some webbing onto his fat backside while Temper scrambles to her feet and rushes into the vault, finding an unconscious woman laying near the back.

Quarterback again attempts to set-up Blob, who is stills struggling to recover from the last blow to the head. The new one sends him toppling over, and Quarterback barely manages to dive out of the way as the huge mutant gouges a whole in the floor.
Colossus leaps over the cars to battle Sabretooth once again, reaching there just in time to plant himself between the feral beast and a cop, taking the hit with a grimace, though satisfied that he had saved the mans life.

[sblock=combat info]
Quarterback sets up success.
Lightspeed's second Jackhammer hits, Blob fails toughness by 11. He's down.
Colossus had to take a full-move action to get there, Sabretooth attack hits, Toughness save Vs DC 30 : 21. As stated before, I only HP Reroll when you fail by 10.
Colossus: 1 injured, Stunned.

In his best immitation of the Dread Pirate Wesley, Quarterback says "Tie him up, Princess." to Gwen.

"I'm going to see if Pete needs a hand with Sabretooth. I imagine you two can get there ahead of me..." He says, heading down the street to where Colossus and Sabretooth are fighting.
 

Colossus reels from the attack, but at least he stopped the carnage for the moment.
[sblock=OOC]Stunned means no actions this round, correct?[/sblock]

Unconscious? Not good. Shock? Head injury? This might be worse than basic first. I should have studied more of my grandparents' books and journals; I was just there 3 days ago! While trying to figure how to treat the injured woman, Temper scoops up a sharp edged metal or tile fragment - no doubt caused by the blasting - and begins slicing the bottom of her shirt into bandages to be applied where needed.

Medicine check to stabilize: +4, Improvised Tools: 11+4=15. Success http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1231524


no action type is listed for the Diagnosis use of Medicine. If it's a move action or less and Temper is already in position from her movement last round, then let's attempt that as well (preferably before the stabilize:
Diagnose: 19+4=23. Success. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1231533[/sblock]
 

She pondered for a moment. "Derek has a point.. " She signed as she glanced down at her food then smiled as an idea came to her. "Now what if the fire sprinklers went off when Pyro was walking underneath them?"
 

"Or we could hollow out a pit, fill it with water, and have just a thin layer of grass on top. I could stand or sit in the middle of it, and call him over..."

Calypso considers.

"But then he'd want to get me back. And really, he's never done anything bad to ME."
