@TheAbsurdist Can I get an Intimidate, Bluff or Diplomacy roll for that, whichever you think fits the best?

Little Mermaid II Mette raised an eyebrow at the man, her lips curling into a smile that twisted to her left. "Whoops." The French man's pint exploded out of his glass, drenching his face. "Guess there's no sea monsters down there."

Forever Boy Pan was grace. He was beauty. He danced among the pirates, swinging a sword of light. He had little time to care, little time to think. He stood alone to protect his friend, his sword cutting the strings of the Sky-Pirates one by one. What did Micah try to tell him? Something was wrong beyond the obvious? He paused, and he looked. The pirates... What were they doing? Their eyes, their mouths, their arms and legs. The Forever Boy was by Micah's side within moments. "Micah. They keep coming back. We need something more."

GM The fire fought back against the rain. It roared, it raged, and yet, it could not burn. Slowly but surely, the last embers became nothing but smoke. The pirates moved without fear. Without care for their own safety. They barely seemed to aim, shooting wildly at the Forever Boy and the Thunderbird, swinging their cutlasses with nothing resembling skill or finesse. As they closed in on the young friends, the reason for their silence was made clear: Their mouths had been sewn shut. Their eyes were wide and crazed. For some, tears flowed freely. For others, the grip of madness were clear. Even unconscious, they kept moving.

GM Victor pulled the goggles away from his eyes before he shook her hand. She could clearly see the admiration in his eyes. "Yes, we must work. Time is short, after all. The Sky-Pirates will be here soon." With a bow and a flourish, he pointed the way down a long hallway. For a brief moment, it seemed to stretch on forever. But no, it was not quite that long, after all. It must have been Eira's imagination. Victor kept stealing glances at Eira as they walked, before finally swallowing his pride and speaking up. "Forgive me for being frank, Miss Katastroff, but why are you here? Why do you seek to aid Victori? You are... quite unique. I am a man of science, my dear, and yet you? You are beyond anything I have seen." He paused briefly, stopping moving entirely. "Why would a wonder such as you decide to support doomed Victori?"

Nevermore II "Got it." Nevermore raised his own gauntlet towards a building, firing off a line that attached and then pulled him up. A silent shadow moving in the night alongside Raven, he landed on the rooftop and quickly folded his cape around him. He moved ahead, towards the edge of the roof. Perched like this, at the corner of the rooftop? Charlie had to admit that it just felt cool. He knew this was serious, but he couldn't keep a slight grin from his lips, though he made sure to quickly suppress it when Raven caught up to him. Nevermore pointed towards the group, then tilted his head slightly, as if to say "what about those guys?"

GM The tenacious two reached the rooftop with no issue. They could see the Doomforge in the distance, the Unkindness parked beneath them. The street ahead still showed the signs of the Terminus Invasion. Craters in the road. Boarded up windows. The tops of some buildings were just gone. Kingston was silent, but not completely abandoned. People moved in the streets, even at this late hour. Most stuck to the shadows, out of sight. Some moved with fear. Others with confidence. Ahead, there was a small gathering of people on the street, standing under a broken street lamp. Four men, two women, wearing random clothing. They were clearly armed. For now, they were silent, looking around, sometimes motioning to each other and pointing if anyone passed them by, before quickly resuming their vigil.

GM "I am so happy to hear you say that." Sebastian was all smiles. Behind him, Melanie rolled her eyes. "You should join us tonight, then. Melanie has heard some rumors about some villains trying to steal something from the Hunter Museum up near Liberty Park. Something about some mystical gem or something on display. It was boring, I didn't really listen to the details. But, we will be staking the place out. You should join us then!" Melanie rolled her eyes again. Luke overheard everything, of course. Then Melanie turned towards him. He wouldn't have long to hide, but perhaps that would be the perfect cue for him to get in touch with some friends.

"Oh, yeah, I get that. Need to know what others can do, best way to figure out where to put people, right?" Ghost reached and grabbed a cup with frozen coffee off the table, then moved it down through the table, to continue his demonstration. "Nothing with size, no. Can't really grow or shrink or anything, but it's like, part of me are here, and part of me isn't? So I can kinda move through stuff. Most things can't really touch me. Got a problem when things get too cold, so..." He looked down at the cup with the frozen coffee. It wasn't cold enough to stop him from going through stuff, but still. "So. Yeah. I... don't really have any formal training, I guess. Plenty on the job experience. I've been at it since 2003, so... yeah. Done my fair share of crazy stuff." Ghost moved the coffee down, into the middle of the table and let go, moving his hand up. "I can affect other stuff with this. Get it stuck in things. Sorta stun them, or, y'know... hurt them. Or if I grab something or someone, I can make 'em move through stuff like me."

Nevermore II "Hey, that's just the one I'd recommend anyway!" Charlie let out a small laugh, as they raced down the street, away from the noise behind them. "But I know this great little place, it's not too far from Claremont. I swear that super villains showing up in the middle of lunch isn't normal here. I mean, there's lots of bad guys showing up all the time, it's kinda part of why we're doing the entire Claremont thing, but, y'know, not that often." Honestly? He kind of wanted to bring El to the Summers mansion. Show off a bit with all the stuff they had there, but no. Alek would skin him alive if he tried anything like that.

GHOST Casper had heard of Archer. She was a good cop. Some bad stuff in her past, but she probably hadn't been guilty, so... yeah, alright. He knew what it was like to be accused of things you hadn't done. "Alright. Let's see that closet, then." He nodded at the other two. The... frog... and the young woman. He'd seen weirder. But it was still weird. "I'm Ghost, by the way. I'm not really much of a magic guy, so I guess I'll let you take point." Ghost gestured with his hands. "Lead the way, Detective Archer."

Alright, Ghost is gonna be on the watch with anything he might spot with his x-ray vision, just in case.

Yes. He's well and truly grappled, bound and helpless too. Just floating the possibility for anyone on the ground near Luke, you can try to do a coup-de-grace against Trawler if you want. Rules are on page 162 in the core book, under Helpless Defenders.

That's a HIT! That'd be a DC16 Fort Save for the Drain effect, however! Only damage effects are 15+Rank, everything else is 10+Rank! Let's start with a Fort Save vs. Drain TOU: 13 TOU vs. DC26: 26 @Nerdzul I'll need you to make a grapple check for that! Here's Trawler's grapple to resist: 23 Give me that and an IC, and I'll follow up with Beekeeper and Red Death. 22 - Shadowborne - 2HP - Unharmed 22 - Howl - 3HP - Unharmed 19 - Nightscale - 2HP - Bruise (x1) 16 - Beekeeper - Bruise (x2) 14 - Red Death - Unharmed 13 - Madame Raven - 3HP - Unharmed 12 - Trawler - Unharmed, TOU-3 (1 restored at Init 19 each rnd.) 10 - Nevermore II - 3HP - Unharmed 07 - Fearmaster - Unharmed

Notice: 34 Depending on the result of that, I'd like to have Rebellion single out one of those people its possible to isolate him or her and use his Paralyze effect on them, then morph into them! And steal any key cards or the like that they might haven.

Nope, you still got him. I assumed Luke is keeping Matt in place so Watchdog could do her thing.

GM Thomas looked back at Jennifer and sighed, almost slumping over. "Alright, alright... sorry. I'm just..." He moved to the chair and sat down heavily, burying his head in his hand. "Sir?" The officer approached. "Who would want to steal this from you?" Thomas shook his head. "Ugh, I don't know... anyone that want ground breaking technology for helping people with missing limbs?" His voice was dripping with sarcasm. "We've had half a dozen offers. Could be anyone hiring someone to steal it."

REBELLION What's Up Danger - Blackway & Black Caviar As far as Rebellion is concerned, he stands alone against the secret conspiracy that controls all of Emerald City. He faces the danger head on, with little care for the danger that he encounters along the way. He seeks the situations that bring him closer to the truth, no matter how dangerous they might be. Bonus fact: Listening to this song for the first time, before I even knew where it was from, gave me some of the initial inspiration for the character. Untraveled Road - Thousand Foot Krutch 'cause just one voice is enough, to make sleeping giants stand up describes Rebellion's entire mission statement. He goes where no one else wants to go, he finds the clues, he searches for the clues that others might not even see, all in the name of waking up the sleeping giant that is the people of Emerald City, all to reveal the truth to everyone. The Chamber might be able to silence one voice, but never them all. Magnum Bullets - Nightrunner (feat. Dan Avidan) A story of revenge and death. Ultimately, Rebellion's quest is a selfish one. He was not a good person, and unless his aunt had been killed before him, he most likely would have been content to follow in his parents' footsteps. As I've pointed out in past vignettes, it is very possible that Rebellion's quest will ultimately lead to his end. Tightrope (Infect Bonus Track Version) - Papa Roach *Explicit lyrics* Rebellion was not a good person before he met the Terror. He was trained to be part of the next generation of villains, learning to fend for himself and not care about others. Even now, as Rebellion pursues an ultimately heroic goal, he is still struggling with being a hero. How does he make the right choice, between his mission and keeping others safe? Everything Glows - D.A.D. Elliot keeps much to himself, but the world has been opened to him, so very different from what he once saw. He kept his eyes closed, he didn't care about anything else, now everything is changed, life has grabbed his shoulder and everything glows. Mad World - Gary Jules Slow, contemplative, depressing. Elliot stands alone in the crowd, seeing the things that others doesn't. His life is not a happy one, and it probably won't ever be. Sing - My Chemical Romance Rebellion is defiant to the end. He stands tall, he will not falter, he will roar in the face of the conspiracy as he goes down swinging. He will raise his voice, he will be heard and he will fight for the people of Emerald City, whether they want him to or not. Maybe Tomorrow Is A Better Day - Poets of the Fall One day, maybe, things will be better. If not for Rebellion, then for everyone else. Somehow, he will make sure of that. You Want It Darker - Leonard Cohen Rebellion's theme for dealing with the Chamber and their businesses. They kill the flame, they stiffle life, they control it all and make everything darker than it should be. It is a heavy theme, not something easily dealt with. If theirs is the glory, then Rebellion is fine with being the shame. I Have the Power - All Good Things Rebellion's battle theme. Elliot has a dark power that, along with his upbringing and life, should have made him a villain. It is not the kind of power that a hero wields, just like how the song is rather ambigious about the morality of its protagonist.

"Woof." Pan grinnned back at Eira with his reply, while he looked at little pup in his hands, slowly holding it up and holding it in close, letting it lick his face. "You are an adorable little one, are you not? Yes, you are!" He made kissy noises for a moment, before gently putting the pup down, letting it run around a bit. He let his arm fall around Eira, his eyes trailing from her and back to the pup. "Did I ever tell you about the time I met the Foreverpup and Foreverkitten?"

Nevermore II "Ghosts would probably be easier to deal with." Charlie grimaced, looking through the holograms that Alek brought up before them. He hadn't been able to look into the Ushers nearly as much as he would have liked. He hadn't exactly been relaxing or anything, he had his own things to deal with at Claremont, but the whole Usher situation just rubbed him the wrong way. "Got it. I saw what they did to Bowman last year." He wasn't about to take chances here. "I'd say stick to the shadows, but that one guy did something weird with them. Don't wanna risk him hiding in them." Charlie moved the holograms around, bringing up a map of the area. "Everything's still in bad shape from the Terminus Invasion, right? We should stay high, out of sight. Stick to rooftops if possible, try and get a good overview. I don't think we should get too far from each other."

GM "Nnn... no. No." Matt was stammering. Pulling against the restraints. The restraints were holding. The table seemed to be starting to give in. "No." His voice was different. Mechnical, automatic. He spoke, but he did not want to speak. Someone else was making him do this. He raised his free hand towards Watchdog. His skin tore and peeled as it broke apart, a barrel breaking free from his skin and pointing at him. "Release me. Now."

Let's see if Ghost knows anything about Detective Archer with some Well-Informed and a Gather Information roll: 22

"I just... kinda do it." Yeah. Casper had a feeling that wasn't gonna cut it. He really didn't like to talk too much about his powers, what they were and how he got them, but he was the one that came to Frost. He had to give something, right? "I too close to an extradimensional looking glass device at Astro Labs that sorta malfunctioned. So, my entire body's pretty much riddled with this weird extradimensional radiation and I can do this. I sort of... dimensionally disperse my body. If that makes any sense?"

REBELLION Three others? The nightmare before him and more? It could be an useful distraction. Rebellion looked at the nightmare. His white eyes glowed. "Deal." He pointed to the men that stood guard at the door. "Distract them." He didn't care much for how it did, but he could at least try to direct the nightmare's attention.

GM Blackstaff could easily track the creature to the rooftops where it had stopped in its track. There was something else there, something he couldn't quite sense, something blurred. But the Carnifex was still, not talking. That much he could sense, at least. The guards on the ground seemed uneasy. Almost like they expected trouble.
