Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread II

[DM_Matt]

"Actually, I do like baseball as much as the next fellow. I came here to enjoy the game on my day off. Mr. Optic here alerted me to the fact that there was a telekinetic cheater trying to alter the ball-game's outcome like any good citizen would. I decided to try and find him before he could cause any more trouble and they came along to help, like superheroes do." she grinned innocently, taking off her glasses, revealing blue guileless eyes.

It was the truth, more or less..... Lawyers weren't the only ones who could spin things.

"I have associated with superheroes in the past, this is no different from that." she chuckled in amusement. "Any good lawyer would know that is perfectly legal," she looked down at him. "But you're not a good lawyer I suspect." the words had double meanings indeed.

"If you can could you take some pictures of them in return. We'll need a counter." she whispered to Optic through her windborn words ability.

"...But yet you used your badge to gain entry. Seems you ARE acting as a police agent, investigating an alleged crime, with a group of vigilantes who were also at the scene of some of your recent major arrests. Seems like a strong case to me. But as I said, this is private property. Get out."

"Well...at one point I was thinking some kind of healing spell, or protection I could use to help other people." She clasps her amulet in her hand. "This is pretty strong, but it only helps me, and lately even that hasn't always been up to what we're facing. The warding spell I know is good, but it limits us too...it stops our attacks and we can't move through the ward so I have to be careful when and how I use it."

She considers, then adds, "And maybe some kind of spell I could use to...well...it's like, some of the stuff we're against is magic. There was a demon and of course there's Faust...but MOST of it is machines and guns and things. I was thinking, there has to be a spell that could interrupt electricity or maybe make things break down...rust, or jam or that kind of thing. Something I could use over an area to keep guys with advanced weapons from tearing us up and making us vulnerable to the supervillains."

"Rusting could be done pretty easily, being a natural process. So can electrical drain. Jamming is a more complicated procedure since it has to be carefully and multiply targeted. It shouldn't be hard for use to work this out."

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly nods, getting more into it.

"I was thinking, for jamming, and really for rusting too, some kind of invocation of entropy could work. Usually the more complicated a machine is, the faster it breaks down. A spell that 'aged' objects could work pretty well, don't you think? Plus, it wouldn't do a lot of collateral damage, since the stuff walls and buildings are made of don't really break down much over time unless they're being eroded away."

"Hmmm. Entropy is a tricky thing to work with. Its just as likely to trigger the gun as break it...Aging could work, but most aging damage is wear and tear. You'd have to age a machine a whole lot to get it to natuarally decay enough to destroy it."

A guard pulls out a camera and snaps some pics.

Ms. Winters, is it? And...Optic? ...ANS Johnny Nitro...and who are you little girl, I don't think I've heard of you (looking at Night). It was so nice of you all to stop by. You've just given me conclusive evidence that this new "hero squad" has been working as agents of the government. My clients will be released within days."

"Me? I was just hoping to get Mr. Optic's and Mr. Nitro's autographs; it's not every day you see superheros at a baseball game, sir!

OOC: As the camera comes out if she can, Night would like to put a miniscle globe of darkness over the lens so all the goon gets it pictures of a lens cap (yeah yeah, probably digital) will spend a hero point to accomplish this if need be.

Hope laughed outright at that. "Superheroes tend to be in the wrong place at the right time, it's a habit of the breed and as I said, I don't control them, nor does AEGIS. But their help is always welcome." she said. "It is my duty to protect the public and after all, we aren't in your private box, so we don't have to get out." she said, which was also true.

She looked at Optic. "Looks like this is a dead end. He probably got away." she looked at the lawyer and smiled wryly. "But it would be wise to be more careful in the future with your allegations Mr. Doe. Libel suites are messy." she chuckled again. "Enjoy the honest game, I know I will."

She manages to use her powers to counter the camera...but the goon doesn't notice, as he's using a disposable film camera.

To Hope, Mr. Doe says "I think I'll take my chances. Now leave."

They then escort you away form the door and shut it.

Now what everyone?

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly nods and flaps a hand to dismiss the idea.

"Just brainstorming," she says. "Thinking out loud. I think just -stopping- electricity would be hard too, just because you'd have to monkey around with physical law too much. And I think you'd have to be careful to have a lot of exceptions or you could wind up stopping things you didn't want to, like brain activity or transmission of light and so on."

"But what about some kind of surge? Something that could fry electronic circuits, and even momentarily electrify metal objects, like guns. There'd have to be a provision to leave things out...but the potential for unintended effects wouldn't be as big since we're still playing by the rules for the most part. Adding an electric surge, not changing how electricity works..."

Then Thessaly chuckles. "It sounds like something Hope would do though...some kind of big lightning strike...not really my style."

"I just have a hard time believing," she says, shifting about in his embrace.

"I guess that makes sense," Apollo shrugs, "but then again i know what that my goal is to do the right thing, and maybe that is all I need to make sure the right thing gets done."

"I guess that makes sense," Apollo shrugs, "but then again i know what that my goal is to do the right thing, and maybe that is all I need to make sure the right thing gets done."

"So this is the right thing? Hmm, interesting..."
