Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Jemal]

Optic gulped nervously when they started talking about throwing magic on him.
"Uh, are you guys.. sure about that? I mean, that's not really necessary, I don't have to be in physical contact with the computer system, I can just hide behind the brick wall over there." He jabbed a thumb at Nitro "I'll be fine." He bit his lower lip and glanced over at Viridian, his eyes almost apologetic. "Besides, if they DO find the magic, they'll be even less inclined to trust us, right?"

No offense, I'm just not that comfortable with magic. He thought to himself.

"And on that note, if we're just sending in a 'high tech business man' to find something, what excuse are we going to give them for my rather.. large and diverse entourage?" He tried to steer the conversation away from the magic. "There's a lot of stuff we have to cover. How we're getting everybody in, what exactly I'll be looking for, How we'll be getting OUT, whether or not we can hide our powers from whatever scanners they may have..." Optic trailed off and glanced around, looking for suggestions.

*OOC: Cap problem solved. Optic's kinda Magi-phobic anyways.

"Well. Most powerful business men do have bodyguards, secretaries and various go-fers when they go on business trips right?" Hope asked casually. "Nitro can be your body guard. Nightweaver, Viridian, Shoot Star and I can be your humble, overworked minions." she grinned. "Just don't ask me to wear a mini skirt or stilletos. Those things are torture devices for the feet."

ooc
Magic phobic? What did somebody slip a hex in Optic's orange juice when he was a kiddie?

 

[Shayuri]

(well, a "ward" could be any number of defenses...doesn't have to be Protection. But no matter now)

"Well...huh. Most of the solutions I can offer to those questions would be magical," Viridian says, spreading her arms. "Invisibility spells, that sort of thing."

 

[kirinke]

"Viridian, do you know how to work teleportation spells? Most of my quick access arsenal is either offensive or defensive." Hope asked. "Teleportation could work for a quick getaway, if you do know how to cast something along those lines and since the Foundry would most likely be scanning for technology based weaponry/defenses, magical ones might slip by."

 

[Elric]

"Nitro can be your body guard. Nightweaver, Viridian, Shoot Star and I can be your humble, overworked minions."

"I might be a little too well known to be a bodyguard. Though if we're in Europe, I don't think I have as many fans over there. I'd probably have to go incognito. But this might not be the best plan- I mean, isn't this the plot of like a million movies. What's the chance they've never seen any of them?"

 

[Jemal]

Optic nodded to Nitro's questions "He's right, 'Hiding in plain sight' isn't all it's cracked up to be. A Disguise could work." He then turned back to hope "Sounds like a solid base, and I'll drop the stilletos, but would YOU believe a businessman of my calibur to have women following me around in anything OTHER than miniskirts?" He grinned jokingly. "Seriously, though, I'll give on the teleportation as a way out if it's our only way.. Just promise me you won't scatter my atoms across the countryside, k?" He chuckles nervously and looked at Viridian.

OOC: No, just a real science-oriented guy who's iffy about Magic.

 

[Shayuri]

Viridian shakes her head, but smiles a little wryly. "My teleportation doesn't work that way, Optic. You never come apart in the first place, so there's no scattering."

"Anyway, Hope, I do know a spell. It makes a sympathy between any two doors...it links them, so one opens up into the other. The good part is that as long as they're both open, the gate is open and any number of people can use it, over theoretically any distance. The bad part is that there does have to be a door where you're going...so you can't jump into the Gobi desert for example...and it takes some time to set up. About a minute or so, for me to make the ritual diagrams and sigils of binding."

 

[kirinke]

"Good and I was thinking of disguises of some sort, though fairly simple. In my experience, I've found that the more complex something is, the greater the chance of it fouling up at some point." she chuckled a little.

 

[Raylis]

"If he does have to hack under fire I could always blanket the area around him darkness. They may not be able to target him and it would give him some cover. Optic, you said earlier that you can work in the dark, correct?

If we have to get out of there fast I could try to Shadow walk all of us out...I've never done more then one person before but... Amanda says.

"I can also create walls of ice and produce a thunderstorm complete with hail pretty much anywhere, not just outside." Hope remarked, the air turning cold around her hand as she produced a hand sized shard of ice out of thin air as way of example. "I can sort of 'see' in the dark too. It's mostly based on sensing the air flow around objects and people. Kinda like blind sight or tremor sense, only instead of vibrations in the earth, it's vibrations in the air. "


ooc
I exchanged Obscure (fog) with sense air flow. Hope that's alright.
