Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[DM_Matt]

Hope grinned a little at Foreshadow's jib, but then he knew that she always gave the information she had in total. It saved confusion later on.

"From what I can gather, Numero Uno and Heroin Shiek were working with Barrington, that was somewhat before I got on board, in fact I was investigating the fallout when I was approached." her expression was grim as she relayed what she knew about the two bad-guys and why they were targeted by the group.

"Somehow, all of this ties in with Barrington and I know that Wolfson, Sheppard and Doe are involved in this and not just with the representing part either. Wheels within wheels." she said.

"And if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that those drug smuggling partners were tied to Barrington in someway or another. He doesn't miss a trick,"

She shook her head. "I don't exactly trust these guys, Mr. Black or Ms. White, but then again, they have the only group large enough to counter Barrington. I haven't quite figured out their angle in all this. The only migating factor they have is that I trust Henry and his judgement. Usually anyway."

"I sort of put my foot in it during the fight in the foundry. I banished a demon by setting off a firestorm right next to one of my teammates. They thought I had murdered him." She grinned wryly at Foreshadow. "Sorta like how we first met,"

(Whoa, whoa, whoa...If you are going to reveal the Trust to someone on the outside, write down exactly what you reveal)

(OOC note: I don't recall Viridian having a problem with Hope burning the demon. )

After a troubled sleep, Thessally, AKA Viridian, awakens late in the morning and goes through the motions of morning rituals of normalcy. Breakfast. Shower. Dressing. It's a comfort.

Finally ready to dive back into the whirlpool of madness that has engulfed her life (dimly she remembers college, and wonders vaguely if she's missed the application deadline for this semester yet...), Thessaly swings by Nightweaver's place and asks her to find an address for the kidnapped scientist. Then using a mapsoft she gets an idea of where that is, in real world terms.

Once she feels like she can link a portal there, she starts the ritual and says to NIghtweaver. "Lets stop by and see if he left anything personal we can use to scry on him."

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Wren is not very good with computers, but he does manage to task the Trust AI to help out with tracing finances. He does find at least two of Asad's Swiss bank accounts, but it is going to take an expert in finance and hacking to trace the money.

He finds that Asad has a tendency to work in the biotech and human-enhancement industries. Almost of his known hits and clients have been inovled in those matters.

He does not manage to find the source of the threat, since it seems to be diffuse. The device does not seem to be anywhere close to assembled.

Any luck on finding out his past three jobs? Wren would like to get an idea on how often this guy has been active lately, and what his last three jobs entailed. Perhaps there was a pattern that could put Wren in the path of the assassins next target. Finding out who hired him might also work, as he could easily talk to his past 'employers'...

She tells Foreshadow that the trust is some sort of secret organization, possibly government funded, because of all the tech she's seen, either that or their people have some very deep pockets. Apparently they have agents everywhere situated deep in the government structure. She's still deeply suspicious of the Trust and wants someone on the outside knowing about them. Someone she trusts implicitly who can't be bought or intimidated. She's still investigating the Trust as well, though that's taken a back burner with Barrington being the threat he's making of himself.

[Elric]

Nitro heads back to Freedom City and calls his agent to work out the final details for a one-day appearance for a special Wrestling Spectacular event. Hopefully they can find another superhero for him to wrestle. He also calls Melina and keeps her abreast of the latest events (though somewhat vague to avoid telling her the full details).

 

[Victim]

Megan transfers some of the music provided with her room to her phone/computer before taking the teleporter back to Freedom City and flying home. She takes a double dose of her medications to make up for the time she missed and a cold shower before heading to bed, slowing her metabolism back to normal as a rest state.

She wakes early from a disturbing dream. Oniguma's feelings of joy and pleasure when killing, supplied by Hope's vision, are overlaid with versions of her combat experiences so that she's enjoying burning people to a crisp. While at first it seemed sort of nice, after 'booting up' to her accelerated speed she felt sick. After another shower, she packs up her supersuit and about half her supply of drugs and heads back to the hanger. I get some time off, and then feel like I can't trust myself there. Hell.

So, morning finds Shooting Star in the Trust's gym, working an exercise bike, listening to music, trying to look at available financial information on the Grant and Labrys companies to see which one could have hired a cybernetic hitman/spy, as well as flipping around through Trust files on her new teammates, supers she's faced, and reasons why she's on the team. She looks tired and frustrated in her civilian clothes.

Remember, Hope gave Star and the others a taste of what she experiences on a daily basis to give her a new perspective and it also sort of explains why she acts the way she does when confronted with demons and dark sorcerers. I mean, once you experience the torture and death of someone you personally care about from the first person point of view, it will change you....

IC:
Once Hope finishes with her recount of the Foundry battle, she shakes her head. "I probably shouldn't have pushed myself so hard, so quick. But...." she shook her head again. Foreshadow already knew how she felt about demons and necromancers, how she had a tendency to loose it when confronted by them.

She's gotten better over the years since the long night, the month she went on a rampage through the darkside of the supernatural community, a rampage that was still whispered about to this day. Most supernaturals now would hesitate before harming someone the Saint cared for.

Viridian and Nightweaver jump into Fine's large-ish suburban home. His home office, where he was las seen, is surrounded by crime scene tape, but there are no police there at the moment. He is known to have a wife and a son, but neither seem to be home at the moment. Since they still live there, most of the house appears rather lived-in.
