Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

[Jemal]

*OOC: Are the guards wearing earpieces or carrying Walkies? If not are there any Cell phones?
Also, what do I know about Hyperion? Any rumours that might explain why there would be an FBI tap on his private box? (Well Informed, Gather Info +16)*

Hope simply grinned at Louis Doe and let Optic do the talking, while simultanously scanning the room and memorizing faces.

"Wonderful." She flops down on the bed. "And sort of dizzy, actually."

Well not bad, I never did ask her how old she is… I am assuming old enough for now, course you never know these days? If she was too young the Trust would never let her do this kind of dangerous stuff right? Yeah, oh well. I was good, she was good… perfect ending to an intense and stressful day, Apollo thinks to himself as he brushes his long hair back from his face.

He reaches over to his nightstand taps a slim and sleek remote and soft music starts playing, The Eraser by Thom Yorke. Not too loud just a subtle hint of sound as he stretches and gets out of bed pulling on some loose fitting pajama pants. He walks over to the window and looks out over the beach, “Do you think you will be remembered as a hero Megan?”

 

[Victim]

"If I die in a big fight, yes."

 

[Vanifae]

"If I die in a big fight, yes."

Apollo laughs, “Well that is pretty damn bleak… but I do admire the optimism. Dying in a big fight isn’t how I would want to go… well maybe like one of those cool self sacrifice things you see in the movies or whatever. But I guess I…”

I am not even sure what I mean, I mean who cares if it matters right? I was here, I fought the good fight… we will get Barrington and his make the world better goon squad. This isn’t a time to be morbid, I got a hot super chick in my bed, a boat load of cash, and a kick ass job… yeah I am doing pretty damn good, he turns and smirks at Star, “Never mind that death crap, you are not dying on me for quite some time yet, we are not done having fun by a long shot.”

He floats back to the bed, turns on the wall mounted HDTV and flips through some channels putting his arm around Star stopping when he sees the commercial. He glances to Star, “I swear evil should take a day off or something.”

Using some poetic license, let me know if that is out of line… but I figure if it is a commercial it is probably playing in various places right?

(That's fine. Feel free to improvise details on that level of what's going on if its useful.)

Thessaly looks up from the paperback she's reading in the library. It's a battered, dog-eared 'romantic adventure' novel that's missing half its cover. She picks up the page and replies, "They offered, but I wasn't really feeling like a night out. But yeah, I'd love to talk. Where should I go?"

She stuffs the paperback in her back pocket and gets up to follow White's directions.

Thess finds her way to a lunge near White's office, where White is waiting.
"Hey. Not into the whole baseball outing thing? How are you liking it here so far"

 

[Victim]

Megan laughs, "I suppose that is a better attitude." I don't really think things will work out that way though. At least I have this.

She watches the commericial, fascinated and horrified. "Dammit, I'm not supposed to feel like the bad guy," she says, eyes tearing up.

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly shrugs and looks around the office, feeling a little guilty for some reason...like she'd been called into the principal's office and didn't know why.

"It's pretty amazing," she says, "but...it feels kind of isolated, you know? I'm used to having other people around, even if it's with walls between us. Little things like shouted arguments in the distance, and thumping stereos and people walking past outside...being able to just jump out and run to the corner store for an icee or something when I was studying."

"I mean, don't get me wrong, this place is way better than anything I'd be able to afford as just a student."

Thessaly pauses, hunting down the source of her niggling unease.

"You know what it is? I never feel normal anymore. Before, I'd go out and be Viridian and do a few things, and then come back and I'd just be Thessaly again. I can cast spells either way, but...at The Trust, I'm always on duty. Always Viridian. Even when I'm not in costume. And there's nothing normal in my life anymore. No school, no family, no friends...except you guys...which is fine, but..." she grins guiltily. "You know what I mean."

"I do. I sorta got drawn into the whole Superhero thing too. I pissed off the wrong demon though, so Superheroing became my witness protection. Many of our operatives do get out though. Maybe you guys should consider using that hanger we have in Freedom City. The intent was for it to be a local base. It does kinda grate on ya living in an underground bunker. I keep in touch with some folks on the outside, but not many. For the most part, I must admit my old identity no longer exists. But again, its not the same for everyone."
