GM The Fens, Freedom City August 24th, 2020 9:30 AM The day had started normal enough for Alice. Go to school, don't quite save the world just yet, but maybe learn a bit about how to do it eventually. Like much of the Fens, Alice's school was not a particularly nice place to spend your time. Apathetic teachers that had given up on trying to make a difference, students fighting. It was not the safe place that most of Freedom City had become. Few seemed to care about the Fens, after all. So few heroes stuck around. Alice was not one of those heroes. Since returning to the school after the summer, she had noticed something new. Drugs had always been a problem at the school, but these new drugs were different, and since those new dealers had appeared at the school, rumors of students getting into trouble had only grown, and they were suddenly showing signs of different super powers. Someone had to find out what was going on. By this point, Alice had found two dealers: Teddy Kaplan, a normally quiet and slightly twitchy type that tended to stay in the school yard, and Billy Altman, a nerd that was usually hanging out near what passed for a computer lab. She honestly didn't know either of them well, but she would have to make a choice on who to pursue.

I'll allow it, I'm guessing you aim for all of them?

Nevermore II Yes! It worked, thanks to Judy's little assist, but Charlie's mind was at something else right this moment. "Wait... Ms. Summers made you wear shorts for your costume?" He was wide-eyed, looking back at Callie for some confirmation about how hilarious this was, then quickly stepped back out of Ashley's reach, just to be on the safe side, before he quickly accepted Judy's hand and shook it. Slightly hot to the touch? Odd. So, some powers probably. And Ashley's ward? That probably meant Judy was the reason for Ashley being at Claremont, her top secret mission. "Hey, I'm Charlie. Ashley's been telling us exactly nothing about ya." He said the last bit with a wink and a smile, of course.

ic Meanwhile at the stately Summers Manor...
RocketLord replied to Tiffany Korta's topic in North Bay
"Eh, I dunno if things are that great. Maybe the it'd be good with some monkey business." Charlie leaned back against a wall. "The new ones with the rise and all that are pretty good." He looked over to the adults. Ms. Summers, Alek, Ashley... they were speaking in whispered tones, doing their very best to keep him and Callie out of the conversation. The adults were talking. He turned back to Callie, rolling his eyes. "So, New York's Raven, huh? You're gonna watch out now, the Ravens here are big on adult supervision." He motioned with his head towards the older group. -
Jonathan's dazed, so he can't maintain a free action to sustatain the grapple (if I remember grapple rules right), so she's free.

Pan moved in close to Urmakare, placing a hand on his shoulder, leaving just a tiny bit of Pixie Dust, but enough that the villain would notice. "You should do as she says. I will find you if you try to run." His tone was sharper than what his friends were used to hearing. "I tend to take it personally when tries to hurt my friends." With the threat hanging in the air, the rapier disappeared from Pan's hand as he turned back to his friends, a wide smile once more on his lips. "Well then, shall we go to this Bornholm place? Time is wasting, yes?"
-
Nevermore II "Sure. For some reason." Charlie shrugged. He knew that something had happened, but it wasn't something that either Alek or the older Callie had told him about, and there parts of the computers that he didn't have access to yet. That was probably part of it. He was just about to tell Callie, when someone burst in. Charlie whirled around, reaching into his coat for a ravenrang and then froze. It was just Ashley, and some girl. A few years older than Charlie and Callie, maybe? He let go of the ravenrang without having revealed it. He was about to say something to the girl, then realized what Ashley was saying. "Hey, hey, no need to call the Boss, right?" He quickly moved towards her, hands held out. "Callie just wanted to throw herself a surprise party, there's not gonna be a lot of surprise party, and you know he's gonna spoil the surprise, right? C'mon, we'll just have a bit of fun, right?"

Justice The Beyond? Really? Secrets lying underneath? Robin couldn't keep the grin from her lips. "Y'know, you sound kinda like a Saturday morning cartoon wizard when you go on like that, right?" Then quickly backtracked a little bit. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Its kinda cool." She reached out to accept the amulet, then slowly retracted her hand when Salvo asked if she could hold on to it. "Er, I guess... Its kind of a personal thing. Feels weird to not have it near me all the time... but yeah, I'll try asking my grandmother. Maybe she'll know something." Robin sighed and leaned back, turning towards the kitchen. "You want coffee or something? I feel like I could need something like that now." While she started rummaging through some shelves to look for the beans for the coffee machine, she continued, "So, uh, I guess you kind of know my deal now, but what about you? You got a big magic armor, you're from Freedom, and you obviously know magic, what else? Why'd you leave Freedom for Emerald?"

REBELLION "WHAT THE HELL!?" Elliot's yell broke any silence that might have been since the Terror's swift exit. "Why the hell was that thing here again!?" He could feel his heart pounding. He fell to his knees. Again. The Terror came to his home again. And Elaine was way too calm about the whole thing. Of course, she hadn't been here last time, had she? No, it had just been him and Aunt Elaine... and the Terror.

GM "Damn right, we're Ultio Suit Users!" one of the armored men said, beating a fist at his chest. "We're the real heroes this city needs! Just look at this, you guys were struggling until we showed up!" "Yeah!" the other one agreed. "You guys were getting beat before we came in and saved the day. So how about you just hand over the big guy, we'll hand him over to the cops over there and we'll say you're even for us saving you?" The cops were starting to gather their wits. The Mafiya members had fled or been carried away in the confusion, leaving just the big guy, and the three prison transports.

That's a miss. The Tea Party Guests skip this turn, but it seems like the White Rabbit is up to no good! @EternalPhoenix, you're up! 25 - Waverider - 2HP - Unharmed 22 - Bill the Lizard - Bruise (x1) 21 - Dormouse - Unharmed 19 - Protectron - 2HP - Injury (x1) 18 - Emerald Spider - 1HP - Unharmed 18 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed 11 - Visionary - 1HP - Unharmed 6 - Tea Party Guests - 1 Snare Applied, Deafened
-
GM The Tea Party Guests stumbled around, some holding their ears, some yelling and trying to make sense of what was going on without anyone to tell them what to do. Waverider's efforts had paid off, giving the heroes a moment's respite from the civilians that they were trying to keep safe. A single moment where they didn't have to worry about hitting anyone but the Looking Glass Gang around them. On screens around them, in various shops and stores, they image of the White Rabbit appeared. He was smiling, it was almost as if he was looking at them. Oh no, oh no, have you heard, my dear friends? Some people just don't want a party? They're at the Yellow Brick Row, giving our dear friends Bill and the Dormouse some trouble. Hurry, hurry now! Go and help our friends!

Justice "They're Ultio Suit Users." Justice's tone was colder than it had been before. She was grasping her right arm with her land hand. There was a bruise under the armor that was starting to become sore. Still, she stood up straight. "MarsTech gives them points for doing hero work, they use it for better suits, better powers." And they had stolen Justice's tech to make those suits. She didn't like that part at all, but this wasn't the time or place. Maybe later. "You guys didn't really help, so how about backing down? I'm sure the cops can handle it from here, yeah?" She should probably get out of there soon, right?

Justice Robin handed over the amulet with a hint of hesitation, giving it a long hard look before letting go of it. She had to admit that she found at least a little bit of satisfaction in Salvo's reaction to seeing Z-Space. It was a pretty cool place, after all. "Yeah, I know." Robin shrugged, throwing her hands out to the side. "Trust me, I've tried to find out what that thing is, but nothing's really worked. Its some kind of weird energy, its connected to Z-Space somehow, and it gives a massive energy output. That's all I've really figured out, no matter what kind of tools I've tried." She followed Salvo into the kitchen. Robin was starting to feel a bit anxious. Salvo still had the amulet, and honestly, she kind of wanted to get it back in her hands. She hadn't been this far from it for a long while. And then Salvo gave her little speech on magic and it all sort of clicked into place. "Wait, magic? The amulet's magic?" If she sounded like she didn't believe it, then that wasn't quite right. She just hadn't considered it. "How can you tell? I didn't even think about it. All of this," she spread her arms out, motioning towards the open window, "it didn't really scream magic, y'know." She shook her head at the question about magic. "I don't really know magic, but I know its there. I've seen my share of stuff in Emerald, y'know. There's lots of hidden secrets." Robin took a step back when the amulet was suddenly held up between them. Salvo's voice sounded more like a command than anything, like she didn't have a choice. She was getting into Robin's personal space, and asking about her family here, even if she didn't know about it. Robin hesitated. Should she tell Salvo? She was rough around the edges, she could be a pain, but she was a hero, right? And Robin was the one talking about trust. "My grandmother gave it to me. I got no idea where she got it, but she's had it since forever."

Alright, not exactly what Mette had meant, but it probably worked! She thought Eira might have some kinda fancy hacking systems or something like that, and she should probably ask about what the brat could do at some point, but right now, it meant they cameras weren't looking directly at them, so that was something at least, right? Mette pulled her hand slightly back when it passed through Muirne, staring at the shadowy tendrils with a mix of fascination and horror. Just what was her powers? What was this entire thing that was going on with her? She gritted her teeth, fighting back against that light feeling of dread. That wasn't what Muirne needed right now. "What do you mean? What kind of magic?" She clearly had issues with magic. Mette probably shouldn't tell her how her own powers were probably some kind of magic, right? "There's magic in this place?" She looked over at Klara. "Can robots even do magic?"

GM "We'll take them." Ultio Blue seemed set, reaching out his hands towards Ultra Girl to have Ultio Red handed over, while some of the other Ultio Suits went for the other fallen. He looked at the Ultra Girl and the Dreamer briefly. "You should go. There's probably some other groups heading this way soon." Then he was off, flying to the West, the rest of the group following close by. The Dreamer, the Carnifex, the Dreams and Ultra Girl were left behind, alone where a fight had just taken place. They would perhaps notice that people had appeared on the streets, some with phones held up and filming the battle. If they wanted to leave, it would probably be a good idea to do it soon.

REBELLION Elliot looked around when the sound disappeared. His expression changed rapidly. Surprised, alert, wary, then some measure of safety when he looked down at Naomi's latest message on the phone. The side of his lips curled into a crooked grin that quickly disappeared, before he waved his concern off. "I'm fine. Don't worry about that. This is more important anyway." He looked around again, making a loud "HMPH!", and when no one reacted, he leaned forward, holding a hand up to the side of his mouth so that no one else could see. "Did you look into the Elysian Academy? Its not really a fun place, but its worse... so, I'm gonna expose myself a bit here, but don't take this the wrong way: Its a super villain school. My parents pretty much forced me to enroll there, wasn't my choice. They're trying to teach us all to be villains or something like that, and the headmaster really doesn't like MarsTech's whole Ultio Suit thing. I'm not sure what exactly they're up to, but they want to do something big."
-
REBELLION Elliot shook his head. "No, this seat's taken. I'm waiting for somebody. There's all these other places you can go." The guy looked back with a snort, then turned around and walked away. He didn't seem pleased about it, but he didn't seem like he wanted to fight it either. With a groan, Elliot leaned forward over the table, burying his face in his arms. He seemed tired. Absolutely tired. Like he had barely slept for a few days. Still, he let out a weak smile when he looked up to see Naomi. "Hey." He still had some bruises. Some of them seemed recent. "Sorry, that guy just kept bugging me to use the seat. I dunno what his deal was, he just really wanted to sit here." He shook his head, sat up straight and took a long sip from his cup. "So, uh... yeah. Remember the school I go to that I told you about? That you and your "friends" might want to look into?" He looked around, like he was trying to make sure that no one was looking. "It's getting worse. They're planning something big."

Justice Wait, what was that, under Visionary? A door? A hand? Oh hell no. A quick reach into a portal, and Robin pulled out the Justice Buster, quickly, but carefully, taking aim. He was down there, the crowds were in the way and she really didn't want to him them, but she had way around that, at least. "Visionary, look out below!" She fired. She had set the Justice Buster to lightning. An electric blast surged from the weapon, directly into a rainbow colored swirling portal. Another portal opened up right in front of the door, between Visionary and the Dormouse, releasing the lightning blast directly at him. Moving along the wall, she pulled down into the street again, doing her best to steer the Law Rider around people.

which makes it a 26 with +10 since you rolled a 9, you make the save. That's a hit. Ref save: 26 Makes the save. Justice moves closer, and goes for Dormouse near Visionary with an Indirect 3 Electric Blast: 22 That's a hit. DC21 TOU save for Dormouse: 25, makes it. @Growth Spurt is up 25 - Waverider - 2HP - Unharmed 22 - Bill the Lizard - Bruise (x1) 21 - Dormouse - Unharmed 19 - Protectron - 2HP - Injury (x1) 18 - Emerald Spider - 1HP - Unharmed 18 - Justice - 4HP - Unharmed 11 - Visionary - 1HP - Unharmed 6 - Tea Party Guests - 1 Snare Applied, Deafened, Skipping 1 turn

GM Not the best shots, but good enough. With Justice's hit followed by Emerald Spider's, while Kanunu held on to the man in the cape, it was just too much and he slumped over, held almost lifeless in Kanunu's arms. The froth on his mouth mixed with spit that dripped to the ground at his feet. The prison transports stood still, the three Ultio Suit Users standing a bit awkwardly nearby before one of them finally decided to speak up. "I... I'll need you to hand him over. We need to deliver him to the proper authorities." He paused, like he wasn't sure exactly what else to say. "We need it to get points, y'know."
-
Since he's held by Kanunu, that's a hit! TOU: 16 That's damage, and he's out. Moving out of combat, at least for now, but to keep a bit of order, @angrydurf is up next.
-
REBELLION Talk? A deal? The Terror didn't make deals. The Terror didn't talk with anyone. It just destroyed. Put on the mask. Reveal himself to his mother and sister. Fight the Terror. That's the right thing to do, right? Save his mother... and yet, he couldn't. Elliot was utterly paralyzed. Unmoving, What could he do? What should he do? His grip on the mask in his hand tightened. "L-let her go!" Remain calm? He couldn't remain calm. What the hellh had his mom done to get the Terror sent for her?

OOC for this. @EternalPhoenix feel free to make any description of the Starbucks that you want.
