Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

[kirinke]

"Gotta love team work." Optic grins as he remotes the grav bike. This was certainly one of the comet's cooler first pitches, and he was proud to be a part of it, even if only behind the scenes. When the Rock and Nitro finally make it up to where he and the others are, he extends a hand "Mr Jonhson, Jack Carson. We've never actually met, but we've done business.. or I suppose more accurately, my people have done business with your people, and I've always been a fan. When Johnny here told us we were watching the game with you, I knew I had to say hi." Jack grins and nods to Nitro.

As they move on to watching the game, he can't help but glance at Hope every once in a while.. there was something wrong with her, but in front of all these people was probably not the best time to get into whatever was bothering her.

[sblock=ooc]
Sense motive + 16, if yer wondering how he knew something was up.

Also, I pondered using my status, connected, and contacts traits as an excuse to know the Rock as well, simply b/c that'd be hella cool, but I figured this is Nitro's show, why steal the thunder, eh?

ooc:
You would lol. She's pretty good at hiding things, but against someone with sense motive +16, she'd be a bit obvious. Alot of it has to do with her world view being tossed askew by voderac's relavation, the other has to do with the fact that she's finally starting to deal with her 'issues' that have been hampering her objectivity and effectiveness. If you want, you can have Optic approach her later about it. She'll be willing to talk I think with someone who isn't trying to bash her head against the perverbial wall.

IC:
Hope laughs at Nitro's antics, she can't help but enjoy the silliness involved, but it's a fun sort of silliness, a release from the past few days. She flicks her eyes at Jack and knows that he's probably picking up some sort of 'vibe' from her.

"We'll talk about it later okay?" she whispers, through her wind carried words ability, making the conversation private.

 

[Vanifae]

"Why?" she whispers. "It's not like we ate the last meal. Besides,." And it would be sort of weird to have some stranger in here.

Apollo smirks, “Well it’s nice to have breakfast in bed, and I figure there is no reason for you to go home, you can stay here.” He accentuates the offer by sitting on the bed, “It’s a big bed plenty of room for both of us.”

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren also takes the chance to say hi to The Rock, "So, question I have is, have you ever had to go up against Nitro here? Perhaps put him in his place at times?"

Wren simply smiles, knowing that it might be interesting to see how The Rock would fare against Nitro. It would be entertaining to say the least.

 

[Jemal]

Jack smiles slightly and nods to Hope, before turning back to the Rock-centered conversation "now there's an interesting concept.. Nitro's got the super-powers, but The Rock is.. well, no offense Johnny, but he's THE ROCK. Some would say Rock would win hands down, or that Johnny'd throw the fight out of respect.. but I don't know about that, I've seen Nitro here, he's a good fighter, and I don't see him as the kind of guy to throw a fight if he didn't have to (sides, I'm of the belief that giving it your all is more respectful).. I'd love to see a match between the two of these guys." Jack glanced back out just in time to see the ball get smacked hard.

"Red baseball cap with a #12 jersey, black hair and Beard, 7th row up." He smirks as the ball flies, becoming a home run. When the jumbotron zooms in on the kid who caught it, he's standign right beside the guy Jack descriped. "Damn... missed.."

OOC:
IRL not much of a baseball fan, but figured Hope might be knowledable about the particulars.

Hope sits back, chewing on a hot dog and sipping a soft drink, steering clear of the alcohol and begins enjoying the game and company.

Apollo smirks, “Well it’s nice to have breakfast in bed, and I figure there is no reason for you to go home, you can stay here.” He accentuates the offer by sitting on the bed, “It’s a big bed plenty of room for both of us.”

(Star wasn't turning down his invitation to stay, just the 'have someone else make breakfast' offer.)

"Breakfast in bed never seemed very nice to me."

 

[DM_Matt]

The Rock to Jack and Wren:

"Hey, you guys made the teleprompter shades for my last movie didn't you? And as far as Nitro goes, yeah that would be a hell of a fight. Of course, its all those metahuman wrestlers that got me into acting in the first place. Its getting harder and harder for us unpowered bad@$$es to stay on top. Good thing I'm awesome. "

 

[DM_Matt]

The first pitch goes according to plan. Nitro jumps towards the field from outside the stadium, landing with the comet over his head, and the Rock standing (not sitting, standing) on the comet. Before he even lands, he hurls the comet and the Rock towards home plate. Jack activates the grav bike inside to tweak the comets speed and flight path. The Rock throws the ball, actually finding the catcher (though he has to stand up), letting himself slip down the comet, and then landing on his feet, taking some steps, turning, and ending up holding the comet. Nitro lands near him. The crowd goes wild.

 

[Elric]

Wren also takes the chance to say hi to The Rock, "So, question I have is, have you ever had to go up against Nitro here? Perhaps put him in his place at times?"

"Oh, before I had powers I wouldn't have wanted to go up against The Rock. People's Eyebrow, People's Elbow, People's Champion. It was just routine. But don't listen to Dwayne about the acting being because of metahumans stuff. He got into acting to cash out and once he saw he'd be successful there (like we couldn't have guessed), he stopped doing as much wrestling. But I don't blame Dwayne- I'm grew up around Hollywood and movie stars. It's a nice place to be a big shot."

"Breakfast in bed never seemed very nice to me."

"Works for me," he smirks, "get comfortable, have a seat... unless you are itching to take the grand tour... I mean we have plenty of time to relax and see all the sights. So tell me, what did you do before the Trust? I mean how did you get started with doing this kind of stuff in the first place?"
