Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread III

[Victim]

"Let's go. Do we need to use the teleportal at the airport, or we can just get 'ported directly?" This feels like something actually superhero-y.

 

[G. Skylark]

"Oi, you serious? Well, time to earn me keep." Skylark stands up and cracks her knuckles. Sports riots are me cup o' tea, she thinks. I didn't think they had them, over the pond?

She begins crushing the spacetime between the stadium and here with a minor singularity between her hands. "Will it be straight to the stands, then? Or into the pitch?" she asks.

(OOC: Spatial Control, Portal, extended teleport. I'm assuming that Skylark doesn't need to see her destination. If she does... I guess she'll be asking for a video feed of the event).

 

[Victim]

"In the middle, or at the parking lot." Star says quickly. "We'll want a chance to see what's going on before trying crowd control." And I'm going for the blimp anyway.

 

[Elric]

(Its clear this mission isn't really your guys' thing, so...)

Black and White's phones suddenly start making all kinds of noise...

"Oh, crap. There is a massive riot at the Liberty Dome at the Comets' game. People got violent for no apparent reason...and they lost contact with the Treadwell Blimp, which had been at the game (the dome is retractable, and is retracted for day games), but has since begun flying South. Maybe you guys should go see what's up."

"A riot at the Comets game? They didn't get upset when some lovable newscaster couldn't get the opening pitch to the plate, did they? We should go check it out"

I knew that doing such a cool opening pitch with The Rock could backfire. You set expectations too high, the next thing you know there are senseless riots over 47 mph opening pitches.

White says "Save your energy, I'm right here, so I might as well get to help. Liberty Dome!"

Everyone is suddenly transported just inside the main entrance to the dome in flickering blue light. All your equipment is with you. From here you can see the fighting, and cops scrambling to maintain order. The riot police aren't deployed yet. It looks like the fighting is more often than not along racial lines.

Optic looks around and something jumps out at him. There is something in the air. A rapid analysis shows that it is a spore of some kind.

Since Star mentioned it, the blimp is to the south, over the river, headed to the Boardwalk district, known for its hotels and casinos.

 

[Victim]

"Okay, I'm going for the blimp. Apollo, come on." The blimp is probably involved in this whole thing somehow, so now it's heading off to go start more stuff or something. Wasn't that in a movie? I can't really restrain normal people anyway, so I can't contribute on crowd control.

Star blasts off.

 

[G. Skylark]

"Oi oi OIIIII!!!!" Skylark is not sure what sport they're fighting over, but it sure isn't 'football' or rugby! "I'll break your bloody ankles mates!" She applies weight gradually to the combatants within her area, in hopes that she won't shatter any spines.

(OOC: Gravity Control, 'down' weight on rioters in range, excepting allies).

"Bloody hell, White! Whotever got these blokes rioting might bugger us too! Now we're in the middle of it!" She is slightly aware of her hypocrisy in complaining, given that she did offer to teleport everyone into the middle of the melee.

 

[kirinke]

"Spores?" Hope looks concerned when Optic relays the message. "Can you tell how much of it is in the air and where it's concentrated?" She asks and waits for a reply while donning a gas mask. (ooc: I assume they have appropriate equipment)

"Wren, if you could make a large container of some sort? I'm going to try to funnel the stuff into it. Once I get it in, could you close it?" She asks, gauging the situation. "Everyone, gas masks." she looks up, seeing Star blast off.

"Damn it!" she snarls. "Why does she...." she shakes her head.

"Okay. Let's contain this mess," she says, concentrating as hard as she can, the air crackling with static electricity as the wind begins to pick up.

ooc:
Air control to gather the spores up and into whatever Container Wren can conjure up. Hero point if necessary to do this.

"Bloody hell, White! Whotever got these blokes rioting might bugger us too! Now we're in the middle of it!"

(To clarify, White is not present. She can TP others without going with. Her TP power is VERY strong.)

 

[Victim]

(Somehow, I don't see things happening in that order, since Star was planning on after the blimp before she even arrived, whilst it would presumeably take Optic time to zero in on the spores and then warn everyone.)
