Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

Miranda draws her first line (in the sand...)

She re-materialized. "You're right..." She grinned defiantly, and gave the girl who tossed the note and evil eye (complete with a slight power manifestation which caused her eyes to glow black) "If anyone tries to do anything to me, I could always make them sick for a week or something." This was the first time Miranda actually truly considered using her powers for purely offensive purposes, without bluffing.

She smiled at Astrid and began to laugh. "That way they will have plenty of time to study for the make-up quiz. That is, when they are not sitting on the toilet."

[Just talkin Wi-Fi. Not like anyone's gonna whup me for that... the flower maybe, but... eh, who's counting right? Side's looks like we're gonna go mess with Pyro right away. Newblood things he's got a trick up his sleeve.]

He paused then, shaking his head as if to clear it. Mental communication always sorta bugged him, drove him up the wall when the professor did it, and Wi-Fi only got away with it for telling secrets. "Wi, just a heads up. You really should stop scanning the new arrivals, one of these days the professor or one of them is gonna come down on you hard."

Again he paused, lifting his hands even before the comment came. "And yeah, one of these days I should stop messing with the furniture. Just cuz I don't listen to my own advice doesn't mean you shouldn't."
 

Wi-fi smirks and winks at Xian. "If you have eyes, don't you use them to see? Just because I have a well-developed mind-sense, does that mean I shouldn't use it? I don't see anyone around here, beside Blind over there, walking around with their eyes covered. Besides..." he looks utterly confident. "Not even the professor could catch me."

Kitty grins and takes the rose as the four of them start planning the Pyro Prank.
*OOH, Mutant pranks, this could be good!*

[Chem lab/Hallway]
Derek sat forward as Miranda rematerialized "Yeah, come on ghostly babe, a face that pretty should NOT be invisible." He grinned and poofed the wadded-up paper into air. "Saves on waste." He stood up as the bell rang. "Sweet. come'on, lets get outta here before they mob us! And hey, I wouldn't suggest Using on someone, except in self defense(Or a real good prank). The Teachers tend to frown on it... IF they catch you, that is."

[Danger Room]
[sblock=Initiative]Lightspeed 28
Gwen 27
Temper 27
Shriek 20
Quarterback 18
Colosus 17
Sabretooth 10
Blob 0[/sblock]

Lightspeed zooms back in for another pick-up, dropping him off at the police. That took care of two of the ones tied up in the corner, and as she looked back, she saw that the two who hadn't been tied up had taken the distraction presented by their attack to bolt. That left just the lady in the vault, and the last tied up hostage.

Gwen and Temper continued their battle with Shriek. The deranged villainess dodges Gwen's webbing only to step right into Temper's blast.
She screeches in pain as clothing and bits of flesh flesh are ripped off her left arm, and looks down at it grimacing in pain (made the fort save, failed toughness by 4. 1 lethal damage).

Shriek returns the favour with a howl, sending another blast at Temper. THIS one, she feels.

Quarterback meanwhile continues avoiding and taunting the Blob, who starts getting angry as his wild flailing keeps missing. (feint successful, Blob Misses.)

Colossus and the Sabretooth continue swinging at each other, though neither is making much headway, Sabretooth dodging the metal man's fists and scraping his claws innefectively across Colossus' tough skin. (Both missed)

[sblock=combat info]
Temper's Toughness save vs DC32: 26. fails by 6, Stunned if you don't spend an HP to reroll (As stated before, unless you tell me otherwise I will auto-use HP on a fail by 10 or more). *NOTe: If you do reroll, you are still stunned on a roll of 1, 10, or 11.*

[sblock=OOC]
NOTE: I changed blob's attack to occur between quarterback and Colosus simply for flow. he still technically goes last.

BTW, could everybody put at the start of their posts what general area of the school they're in? (Like I'm doing) makes it alittle easier to scan through and remember who's doing what where.
Also, for the case of Impenetrable Toughnesss boosted by Quarterback, it would fade as follows : Loose 1 pp impervious, THEN loose the corresponding toughness, until the powers are back to normal. Temper would therefore be currently at TOughness 16(15 impervious). and next round at Toughness 15(impervious).
"Not even the professor could catch me."
I do so love a challenge. :D

"Yeah," Calypso says a little weakly as she gets to her feet. "Lunchtime at last. I'm so hungry I could eat school food." She turns and heads for the door, feeling self-conscious, like someone had just pointed out a big zit on her face.

Psh, oh she's so pretty she should be visible. I guess that makes me...what? Not pretty? Not AS pretty?

(OOC - I'm assuming that, like many schools, lunch is divided into two alternating periods, so only half the students are dining at once...explaining why Astrid and Miranda were in class while Pyro harassed the others in the cafeteria. :))

yep.
 

Eric Hassel (Quarterback) (5 HP, DEF +11, TOUGH +11)

"Hey, Pete." Quarterback says to Colossus. "You think we should show these guys something about the theory of comparitive advantage?" (Hey, Eric's got Enhanced Int as well as Enhanced Str :) ) ... and moves from facing the distracted Blob to facing Sabretooth instead, trying to execute a straightforward takedown.

[sblock=OOC]
Trip attempt on Sabretooth, assuming there's enough space to manuever to make this possible.

1. Move from facing The Blob to ganging up with Colossus on Sabretooth (briefly); there don't appear to be flanking bonuses in M&M...
2. Make a melee attack to begin a trip attack, and then a Dex check to actually trip him...
Trip attack, trip check (this assumes the Improved Trip +4 applies to both rolls) (1d20+11=16, 1d20+9=21)

She found herself blushing at Derek's complement as she painstakingly shoved items into her messenger bag. As soon as Astrid started walking away Miranda gave a look of mock horror at her previous statement. "You are willingly going to eat the school's food? What sort of monster are you?!?!?"

By the time Miranda was finished packing her books, Astrid and Derek were halfway towards the door. Seeing this, she decided to reenter her ghost form while concentrating on holding her bag close to her chest so that she could fly above the heads of the other students without having the bag swing wildly and knock several students out. Once outside of the room she then switched her focus on becoming solid and smiled to her fellow classmates.

"You know what I'm really in the mood for? A chili-dog. Hopefully thats one the menu today instead of a heaping bowl of dysentery..".

Colossus, Danger Room

Colossus snarles at Sabretooth, "Stop moving!". The man of steel ( :) ) reaches out and grabs Sabretooth by the scruff of the neck.

[sblock=OOC]Colossus attempting to Grapple Sabretooth. Looked at the rules, seem to indicate he has to make an attack roll. He has Improved Grab and Improved Grapple. He rolled a natural 19. He has Improved Critical (unarmed strike). Not sure how all that combines. I am so much better at D&D rules.
Round 5 Attack (1d20+7=26)
Stats: Defense +6, Toughness +16 (15 Impervious), HP: 1[/sblock]
