Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

"Damn that sucks," he shrugs and takes a his seat next to Star, "You guys are kind of wound up pretty tight, are all super hero teams like this, that would be such a buzz kill. Optical illusion or not, your fast; its okay to take a compliment." He gives star a playful wink, "So basically what you are saying is if you go too fast you would burn up... there is a song in there... Stars, speed, and smoking hot. I like where this is going."

Man heat from atmospheric friction, blah blah blah... photosensitivity... fear the light... do these people talk like this in public, LAME! Maybe this is how super heroes act? Apollo thinks as he focuses his attention on Star, "So yeah what's the plan... last thing I knew I was going to be singing... or taking a singer's place... and then I heard about drills... and Barrington, who seems like your typical lame I want to rule the world villain, I mean you would think villains would find a new gig then ruling the world. The world is kind of lame... but yeah, we got like a plan?"

"Well, your average supervillian tends to be a meglomaniac 'I'm better than everyone else so bow down to me argg', never mind the paper work involved, not to mention the migraines. If they didn't have powers, they'd be laughable. But since they do, they generally have a shot at actually pulling it off. That's where we come in." she grinned at the rock star. "On the other hand, he could be trying to bring hell to earth, destroy the world so he can make a better one..... There are variations to the 'would be world ruler' type."

Hope laughed. "The general plan is stop whatever Barrington is planning, free his hostages and then really kick his arse into next week. First though, we have to figure out what he's doing. Hence this particular little jaunt."

"Gotcha, well as long as the crazy villain gets his in the end, I am down," Apollo smirks.

"So do you guys have like a name, like a team name... I am partial to Apollo's Angels myself," he grins at Hope and Star.

"I don't know; I'm not a scientist either."

"I don't really know. I haven't been on any other teams." She shifts about uncomfortably in her seat and looks away. PLEASE don't make a song like that. "What plan that involves singing?"

Apollo whispers low enough just for Star to hear, “Hey relax, you look uncomfortable, I am just trying to get to know everyone, you just happen to seem the most interesting at the moment. There is nothing wrong with that Star.”

He turns and speaks louder for the others to hear, “Well I was brought on to impersonate a musician, cause a distraction I guess; I mean I am sure once I start the show people are going to notice that it isn’t him… but they will get one hell of a show either way, and we get a step closer to shutting down Barrington’s operation.”

He forms his energy guitar, and strums a few notes before settling into a soft rhythm, “I have been working on this one for awhile now… I finally got some inspiration for it, so is there anything I should know about what we are facing, I was kind of spacing out back there with all the talking…”

Take 10 on Perform, for a total of 27.

Mr. Black says "The mission you're talking about is next week, at an event put on by Jonathan Grant. You were transferred to this unit now so you could all get to know each other. This mission will be a pretty standard raid and interrogate op."

"Whoa, whoa... next week... man my personal assistant totally dropped the ball, I am not even sure why I pay her... oh yeah now I remember," Apollo laughs, "well okay on with the standard interrogate and raid thing... op... is that short for operation? All this military lingo is confusing... I hope we don't use military time, that crap always confuses me. I didn't join the army for a reason!"

"Black is ex-military." Hope remarked as she saved her notes and shot them over to Star's computer for review, knowing that of all of them, she probably has a better handle on the science stuff. As for military time. Just remember that 01200hrs means 12AM and 1200hrs means 12pm. Then just count up from there." She grinned.

"As for standard interrogate and raid, that basically means we smash into a place, do as much damage as we can, grab whoever it is we want for questioning and then get out before the smoke clears. Not necessarily in that order." she grinned at the rock star. "Just wait until you encounter your first demon. Those are fun. Not."

For this mission, Hope chose to wear a basic black skinsuit and boots, with a red and blue utility belt and some fancy blue wrist guards for accents. In the seat beside her is a dark blue cloak and a blue and black mask that will cover the lower half of her face and her nose when put on. She looks pretty good in the outfit, even if it is simplistic.



ooc:
She'll look something like this. Just imagine her other picture with this costume on it. Not perfect but then... Not an artist either.

"Sorry 'bout that, its a habit. For some, recruitment phrases like 'Be All You Can Be' and 'Army of One' are just advertising slogans. For me, they are literal truth. I joined up as a mutant with some rought electricity powers, and between the power training, the nanotech augmentations, and these babies* they unlocked my true potential and turned me into a one man army. Of course, they then decided that they didn't need me, what with that peace dividend and all, but I blame the politicians for THAT."


* He pulls out and twirls his two long-barreled pistols. They are the only known pistol-sized railguns in the world, miniaturized due to that fact that they have no internal power source...he powers the magnetic fields that propel the slugs, and has enough left over to add some electrical energy them as well.

"Sort of like the phrase to 'serve and protect' is the literal truth for me. I guess I've always wanted to make the ones who enjoy hurting others for the sake of causing pain stop. A badge was my way of doing it." she chuckled dryly, waving to her black skinsuit. "Now I'm joining the spandex brigade against my better judgement, because the badge isn't enough to protect the innocent against the likes of Barrington."

Of them all, only Black or Apollo would likely understand the full reason of why she's helping. Black because he knows her full story, or as much as anyone can know it and Apollo for what little she revealed, which wasn't all of it by a long shot.

I swore I'd never let another person lose their innocence like I lost mine. Sometimes I actually succeed. Other times.... I can only avenge their deaths. she thought, looking a bit haunted for a moment. God, I just hope I can help stop Barrington with whatever he's planning.

The costume was one she had picked out of the wardrobe offered by the Trust. It was probably a bit more than simple spandex.

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian just looks at her hands, abruptly feeling out of place. Ex-military, ex-law enforcement...who was she? Just some twentysomething college kid moonlighting as a crimefighter on a lark. Was it any wonder she so often felt out of her league?

What am I doing here? I guess I've held my own mostly, but Hope packs a lot more magic punch than I do, and she knows more useful things. I can't even fly.
