"Ok, may wanna stand back a bit," and with that, John lurches over almost as if in pain. From his back sprouts gigantic wings, stone gray and draconic in look. Slowly, his skin turns grey, and his clothes completely shred apart from his body expanding very suddenly, complete muscle expanding his form outwards. His face becomes squared, with tiny horns sprouting across his head. His hair appears to die, turning to gray until eventually going back to black. As his transformation completes, you see his eyes turn from blue to a stone grey color, and give a small flash. He lifts his wings and arms up and gives an enormous bestial ROAR. John lurches back down, now looking down at Hyperactive, his face seemingly menacing, but his stance indicates he is not trying to be. "Names should be traded definitely. I am Gargoyle. And the enemy should fear me more than my roar." The voice you suddenly hear is very deep, and very gravely. It sounds similar to how water running over rocks sounds. His stance is suddenly less nervous and very proud and confident. This looks like a man who might as well feel invincible.

"Hell yeah, let's do it. Hate math, makes me wanna knock some heads together. 1+1 heads equal unconscious guys anyway. All the math I should need." He gives a small grin. "Let's head outside, guess you'll get to see what my power is. Only really works at night." John grabs the door and gestures to lead the way. "I dunno where or which store."

"Well, everyone here is superpowered, even those bullies Kas helped me out of. Doesn't help I'm as vulnerable as any other man like this. But yeah, let's get started." John pulls out his books and a pencil out, grabs some sheets of paper and a calculator and sits down, patting his bed to indicate he could sit there if he'd like. "Only good news, got this one to myself for now. Apparently nobody really wanted to be with the kid who seems to have no powers or martial practice. Not in this school anyway. Gives them a bad image or something, who hangs with a normie. Ah well, bullies are in every school so it's just part of the territory." John then looks down to his paper, and then back up at Tyson. "So, what are we gonna start with? Homework or just basic lessons?"

"See ya! And let's totally do frappucinos tomorrow!" John calls back out to her. He sighs before finally picking up the last of his books and going over to Tyson. "Hey Tyson, so you ready to go? We can go to my dorm or possibly a spare classroom and work on math together. Don't mind the bruises." John reaches out and shakes his hand, a smile on his face. "We probably want to go before it gets too dark out. I'm sure you like seeing where you're going as much as the next guy." He gestures to indicate he is letting you lead.

John smiled and got up, assisted by Kas. He looked a bit bruised, but none the worse for wear. "If I fight back, first off it paints a bigger target, second, it's not exactly like I'm trained enough in this body to fight back against powered people. You should know as well as most of my friends I like to wait till night to fight." He picks up his backpack, and dusts himself off a bit. He goes around starting to gather up his books. "As for tutoring well... I need to get back to heroing. To do that, I need to start passing math. No passing on tutoring for me for now I'm afraid." He looks frustrated saying that, but quickly dispells the emotion from his face. "So, shall we? Out of curiousity, how's the frap?"

For but a minute, it was like Gargoyle had just shut down. His responses, none. His movement, none. Even breathing had appeared to stop for a moment. Then he appeared to just power back up again, like it hadn't happened. "Oh my god it smells way too good in here! I'm sorry, the smell of the place just overwhelmed me for a moment and I had to just take it all in. What are we all talking about?" Gargoyle looked over at Psy Strike. "Sorry about that Psy Strike, I am just not used to handling things quite that delicately with this strength. Normally I'm picking people up to save or punching or throwing things... sometimes clawing things... By the way, have you ever flown?"

Well he had never had a weirder wake-up call. John started standing alert, scanning for anything he could see to determine where he was. When he initially didn't notice anything, he turned to the creature that appeared to be called "Rock", eyes darting around for any conceivable way of escape. "Hello, my name is John... Do you know where we are Rock?" John seemed a tad worried about where he was... He was gonna miss classes, and wasn't sure what time it was... He couldn't risk Gargoyling out of this situation. Not yet anyway. He pounded on the energy field for a moment, before getting annoyed by the tingling and settled himself down. Where the heck is he?!

Gargoyle's nodded towards towards Kwayme "I'll take another cup if you're offering. Just love me some eggnog." It was at that moment he noticed Grimalkin. "Oh hey Grimalkin, fancy seeing you here. Enjoying the impromptu party?" Gargoyle chuckled as he said the last part, tail swishing this and that way. "I honestly just feel like this is a good thing, no bad coming from it. Just people enjoying the weather."

Gargoyle turned to Psy Strike shook her hand. He was unfortunately unused to doing more ordinary things with his gargoyle form and applied what felt like a normal level of strength to him, but to an ordinary person would feel like metal clamps squeezing your hand with a hydraulic press. "Pleasure to meet you Psy Strike. How are you this fine night?"

Gargoyle snapped back out of the daze of the perfectly good eggnog disintegrating before his eyes "Awww... that was good eggnog though..." He whimpered, sad to see his good buddy, Eggnog, come to an unsatisfying end. He finally noticed all the new people around him. "Oh hey, sorry I was completely thrown off. I never have seen eggnog disintegrate before, or have someone so mad they would. And as for alcoholic or non alcoholic, the stuff I had is just straight eggnog, no alcohol added. And my age? Only 16 about 5 months ago, nearly half a year. Heck, only became a superhero around the same time." Gargoyle grinned, and pointed off over at a stand a few feet from where they were standing, his tail doing a happy little flick, God I love eggnog. "Over there is where I got it from, it's the kids version of the booth so I was guaranteed non-alcoholic beverages."

I'm good ^^ got lots of fun times from it and it has to end sometime

As Gargoyle had said hi, he was suddenly told hi from all sides, one disappearing afterwards, another seeming to be making the rounds, and finally the smoke guy saying hi, pulling out his phone, and then returning swiftly to the conversation. "Wow, quite the welcome. Kinda was worried since I was so new to this heroing thing that you guys may not be so... welcoming." When he heard Shrike's response to him, he trilled with some modicum of pride, "Thank you, if you're still here! You're pretty cool too!" Then Mike told him about not getting caught by the RA's, "Nah, they've caught me before. Hard to be sneaky when you look like a giant stone gargoyle come to life. As long as I have told them about it, they seem to be ok with my nightly outings." He turned over to Joe, "Yeah, the party seems like tons of fun! I was just worried about being such a new heroing face here." Then finally, he turned to Bonfire, "Do you mean the overall body or the uniform? Personally, I feel like a giant banana in this darn thing, and plus when I go around at night subduing baddies, hard to look intimidating with said banana uniform. But it's nice to meet all of you too!"

"C'mon, it's just eggnog, give it a whirl! Just try throwing a snowball. I'm sure you'll get in the mood then." Gargoyle smiled, unsure of why this new lady wouldn't trust him and join in on the festivities. He hadn't smelled anything dangerous outside of the cop car, and even then, that's just because the cops need weapons to protect themselves from criminals. All he sees is good cheer and laughter, no sign of evil anywhere. He was half tempted to throw a snowball at this lady to try and get her into it, but couldn't hold both the eggnog cup and make the snowball... Maybe if I used my tail? Gargoyle thought idly while his tail did a small twitch.

Gargoyle chuckled and came over to her. "Yeah, it could be. But look at all this cheer, all this fun! Anything that could do this has to be doing some form of good, and I say enjoy the good while it lasts. Good doesn't always last." Gargoyle said, and offered her the eggnog cup, figuring that would allow her to calm down and let loose a little bit. "Besides, if it is something being used for evil, wouldn't it be better to stay here watching the crowd while also blending in like we are under the same control? I only smell goodness and I decided to trust the sniffer today, and it says to enjoy the strange party."

Gargoyle had been flying around the town as he normally does. The town was always covered in Christmas cheer when this holiday showed up. He remembered all the fun him and his mom had just looking around the town, seeing how people dressed up their houses and businesses. Usually, it was just more minor stuff but this year just felt different. And then Gargoyle smelled something. Following the smell for around a half hour(it smelled of eggnog and cinnamon and general sickly rich goodness), he found a gigantic Christmas party going on. He had never seen this before and swooped in, in-captivated by the smells and the awesome lights and games and how many people had shown up. He even saw police officers playing around on toboggans. At first, Gargoyle was hesitant to have fun with the rest of them, mainly watching for any signs of evildoers, seeing as this felt like a pretty easy target for just about any villain. But slowly, the cheer and fun of the party overtook him and he was dancing, having fun and in general, going along with the festivities. He played skeeball, he danced, and he even saw some other hero who teleported in with these piercing red eyes and red hair and beckoned her to join him for a dance. "C'mon Fire, join me for a small dance! I need a partner." He said with a chuckle, and an eggnog cup in his other hand, prepared to give it to her should she say yes.

"That was awesome Jann! How did you know where it's weak point was? Your accuracy was astonishing!" Gargoyle squeed with the amount of awesome in that moment, Jann just going into a zen mode of beating that thing down. "Now I see why you weren't very worried, you could easily handle it." Gargoyle looked around at the bodies lying around the ground, all looking like deflated balloons. "I only wish they weren't as annoying while going down. Otherwise, this would've been much more awesome." All Gargoyle could smell around him was the rubber and fur, as well as a small hint of earth, birds and trees. It was only then he noticed his ears were still ringing a small bit from the monster's roar.

Ok, so DC 16 doesn't beat my 19 and then 21 vs my 24

http://orokos.com/roll/468872 19 Well, I see more through sight and smell anyway so eh. How about you Lilly?

"I like your style Jann!" Gargoyle says as he flies up alongside Jann, trying to see what is coming this way. He can hear it, but he just can't figure out where it is. What is he even lookin... never mind, he found it. He gets ready for combat and goes into a combat stance once more. "Hey Lilly, looks like there's some more coming this way. Get ready." Gargoyle growls out. He saw something huge, though when he first heard the squeaks he figured it was something huge anyway. This was a bit bigger than expected. "You guys normally fight stuff this large?"

Gargoyle landed next to Lilly, shaking himself, unsure how he actually got hurt in this combat. Hadn't happened before to him, bullets usually just bounced off. "That was definitely interesting, though I am curious that Godzilla wasn't incorporated... unless you plan on another enemy and us shrinking." Gargoyle shook a little, the tiny bruise on his arm irritating him slightly. "Have to admit, the fight was fun, you guys were so impressive though. Controlling plants on one end and tanking blows like they were nothing on the other, even whilst using a quarterstaff and flying! All so cool to watch."

Oh boy, I'm still letting DS go first before I post anything however so good luck DS

I'm late I'm late I'm late! John thought as he flew through the sky. It was impossible not to hear about this party, and since it was an invitation to anyone who has saved the city, and a good way to meet some more legendary heroes, John knew he had to come to this party, unknown nobody or not. He admitted he at first didn't know how he would show up, whether he should show up as The Gargoyle or not, but with a paper bag over his head or something. He had heard about it only a week ago and had decided after seeing how Claremont is, a gargoyle probably wouldn't be too out of place... He looked down and noticed a lot of people going in in fancy dresses and suits and gulped. His Gargoyle form never kept clothes very well except for the new loincloth he discovered he could do pretty recently, luckily also sealed in the bottom. Basically underwear dressed up as a loincloth. Had a pretty nice look, but most movements... his muscles destroyed most clothes he tried putting on after transforming. He had decided probably best to look stupid than underclothed and threw on the Claremont Academy uniform, which did allow for huge transformations like his gargoyle form. It looked so bad though. I look like a giant banana flying through the sky. Need to remember to ask around for possibly some place that works with these 'more molecules' to make me a suit that looks more gargoyle, less banana. And with that thought, he lands down by the side entrance, hesitating at the door. Was he really among the heroes having a fun time in there? Most of them were probably old friends, unwilling to socialize with a pure brute like him. Maybe it would be better to just fight crime again tonight so the veterans could have their fun for tonight? Then he remembered them saying the heroes inside could take it easy this one night regardless, and just pushed the door open to go in quickly. He walked in and saw so many people, some tall, some shorter, some skinny and some big and brawny. There was one who caught his eye though in particular, the guy who appeared to be made of smoke. Surely he could fit in around that guy, feeling as out of place as he possibly could, knowing no one here. He squared up his shoulders and just let the confidence he normally has ooze out of him, despite feeling a bit out of his element. "Hey there, I'm Gargoyle, what's your guy's names?" He asked the smoke guy, unsure how else to start a conversation. He looked at the others and motioned to indicate he was trying to ask them all.

No Place Like Home Christmas Evening, 2016 6:12 PM "Merry Christmas Mom!" John proclaimed excitedly, happy to have spent his Christmas at home. He lives over at the dorms of Claremont Academy now, but he needed to see his Mom on Christmas! Besides, she provided a normalcy that he felt kept him grounded. He made doubly sure his crimefighting was lessened the day before, so as to make sure he didn't accidentally let the sun come up on him on Christmas and miss spending it with his mom. "I'm just glad you made it down for the day. How did you even get here anyway, the roads are all closed down?" She gave him an inquisitive look. "I mean, it've been near deadly to run here in the skin tight shirt and pants you were wearing... How did you get here?" "Oh hehe, turns out my roommate is one of those superheroes here. They had the ability to fly and when I mentioned that I was upset to not be able to visit my mom for Christmas for the day, they offered to bring me over here and pick me up tomorrow night." John of course, had to lie to his mom and keep his secret hero life a secret, even the additional powers he acquired more recently. He wanted to mention the holographic fight versus the weirdest enemy he'd ever faced, the many lives he'd protected throughout the night. How he flew here himself regardless of how much it sucked to do so. But that was besides the point now. Now was just him and his mom, who had just brought in Hot Chocolate and gave him a cup, and sat down herself with a cup. "Still, you should've worn a bit more than just that skintight stuff. If it hasn't warmed up a little by tomorrow morning, then you are getting one of the spare clothes in the closet mister." She gave him a slight disapproving frown, before smiling again. John knew it was just more of a worry-filled frown than a real disapproving one, and he gave her a smile back. Until he noticed a certain thing going on across the road. Even in this weather, a robbery going on... and they had guns. John turned to his mom. "I'm sorry, gotta run to the restroom. Might be a few minutes... remind me not to have spicy things!" and he ran to the bathroom, set up the little toy he had that basically just gave out a grunt of exertion every few moment, having recorded it on the toy and hiding it in the bathroom. His mom used the other bathroom anyway, so she never noticed. After he set that up, he ran to his old room, opened the window, and transformed as quickly as he could, and flew over there to help those people. About 10 minutes later and a small trip to the police HQ to hand the crooks over, John flew back and climbed back in the window, transforming back as he does. He runs back to the bathroom quietly and turns off the little toy, "Stupid friggin robbers. Willing to hurt a family on Christmas today." He flushed the toilet (after he actually went. Didn't want to have to head back so soon after he went to the bathroom.) and wandered back to the living room to watch Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his mom some more. "Jeez, stink up the bathroom a bit more why don't ya killer?" She said with a smirk and a playful jab. She laughed at her joke and continued, "By the way, you missed one of those heroes. Took a bunch of crooks from the house across the way. I know you love those heroes, but you were stuck in the bathroom so I didn't bother." She said, with a small smile as well. "Oh yeah? Well I hope they can go home and visit their family soon. After all, there's no place like home."

"Of course I do." Gargoyle yelled out as he soared over to one of the last few toys. He smashed it in the face sending it soaring into a tree and falling over, deflated like the rest. He looked over to Jann, "Last one buddy!"

Let us see: 15 Will it hit?!
