GHOST "Alright, alright, Sorry." Whatever witch girl said, that was totally a code monkey, but this wasn't the time to be monkeying around. "Wouldn't really call it a punch inside their body. More like... disrupting their bodies? I dunno, its weird, I know. Just works." He had tried to figure out how it worked before, but didn't really seem to follow any laws of physics or anything, so... Yeah. It was weird. Best way to put it. "Devil's Advocates, according to their jackets, I guess. Haven't really heard of them before," he answered with a shrug. "Seemed like the standard suddenly powered biker gang out to cause trouble."

"No, no, there is no need to worry, my friends." Pan's voice was calm, as he looked at the pups and their reaction, then back to Eira. She was different, and the dogs would notice. But what if they could not? What if the sight, the scent, the sounds, everything about her was not so different? What if someone could weave stories that changed what seemed to be, and did not seem to be? So that Eira would seem to be just another one of the group of teenagers? And if that one could make the little puppy he held in his arm calm and trusting, make him understand that nothing is wrong? The others might notice the change about Eira, or they might not. It was subtle, small. Mostly noticable to the dogs, maybe anyone else that had enhanced senses of some kind. Holding the dog close to him with one hand, Pan smiled and reached the other out to Eira. "Trust me. This little guy will be fine. Come, be gentle with him, he is just a little one."

OOC for this.

GM Just past midnight March 6th, 2021 In the shadow of the Doomforge The House of Usher had returned. The Raven had been after them for months at this point. He had researched the old Ushers that the previous Ravens had fought. He had been following any leads, stopped any of their operations he could find. All that he had learned was that they were back and their influence on Freedom City was growing. They had yet to meet another Usher directly. A recent operation had uncovered one new piece of information, at least: The Ushers' base of operations were somewhere in Kingston. And so, Raven and Nevermore headed towards Kingston, in the shadow of the Doomforge...

GM Night February 25th, 2021 Across the rooftops of the Fens Callie had spent a lot of time patrolling Freedom City since being brought to the this time. She had gotten used to this future Freedom, gotten used to this new world she found herself in, where she existed twice at once: The headmistress of Claremont and the time displaced teenager. Things had changed in the poorer parts of the city lately. The Fens, Southside, Kingston... The shadows seemed darker. Ever since Raven and Nevermore had learned that the House of Usher had returned, the Raven Family had found mounting evidence of the Ushers' increasing presence in the city, especially in these areas. Now, she had been patrolling the Fens. It had been largely uneventful when she caught sight of a mugging in progress on the street below, near a street corner. Three men against one hardly seemed fair.

Casper paused. Is this midlife crisis? Seriously? "Sure, if you say so. Beats spending all I got on a fancy car, I guess." He could kind of see what Fleur had meant about Frost. "Yeah, I'm free. Just tell me when and where."

GM Ryu looked at the monsterous Carnifex, at the woman in the wheelchair and the man that dared to interrupt the stand off, to his sister and back again. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again, either unwilling or unable to say anything more. "Thank you." Tomiko bowed to the Dreamer and Blackstaff, before moving back to her former position. Her brother looked confused, before he started barking orders in Japanese once more, motioning with his hands for the Takazumi-gumi to do as he would. "Fine! We will finish this some other time. I have no time to deal with the freaks of this city today!" With Ryu once more leading the group, they continued on, but perhaps pushing just a few less people around.
-
REBELLION Monster from nowhere. The girl in the wheelchair didn't seem surprised, did she call it forth? Curious. Rebellion remained still. The situation was diffusing with the woman's apology, even with the other man putting himself in the middle of it. Was the situation better or worse for it? The Takazumi-gumi might be on guard now... And then the monster landed on the roof in front of him on the rooftop. "Hn." Rebellion stood up to his full height as appraised the strange thing. His own dark blue clothes, giant white eyes the only visible features in the darkness that made up his face under the cap he was wearing. He remained silent. Let the monster make the first move, if it wished to make one.

GM The man with the hoodie pushed past anyone that blocked him and into the small room with the robotic arm and the computers. "What happened? Who did this?" There was panic in his voice, as he moved towards the computer. "Oh god, what did they do? Is it all here?" Everyone at the scene was just kind of staring at the man, not really knowing what to do.
-
"Thanks." Huh. He'd heard about Nicholson before, but actually getting the numbers would be useful. They probably should get Carrie tested, just in case... No matter what else Jessie might be thinking about him now, they could probably agree that they didn't want a kid running through walls. "So, uh, no combat training. That's great, I guess. Don't want kids beating up other kids, right? So, they teach power control? Like how to turn it off, too?" He shrugged. "If they can, I mean. Took some training before I stopped falling through the floor whenever I started ghosting, and well, fifty pound flowers sound kinda dangerous, y'know?"

GM It took some convincing, but the officers finally arrived. One of them had heard of Ms. Bright before and vouched for her to the rest. As Agnes led them into the caves beneath the old church, Jonathan was still waiting, true to his word. Any story she told them about what had happened, he agreed, and, eventually, he and the Preacher were taken away, while the officers fenced off the area and begun their work. Even if Ms. Bright could not stop what had happened, she had prevented the Preacher from committing further sins... but of course, the mystery of the inhaler still remained...

Miss, give me an ic!

Oh no, Intimidate, Charlie's great weakness! 23 And yet.

Well, so many options! Depending on who and what you need for different threads, I'll offer Ghost for Baby Shark, Justice or Rebellion for Mission to Mars and Little Mermaid for Assassination Classroom. Pick as few or as many as you'd like!

ROCKET Atomic Tower, Midtown, Freedom City Early March 2021 The Atomic Tower towered in the Freedom City skyline. After its recent expansion, it seemed almost like it stretched into the clouds, which it just might do. A modern marvel of super science, it held the newly opened Atom Academy, the Atom Family's newest gift to the city, inviting scientists, explorers, heroes and just curious regular people to join, to explore everything and anything! Jay was late. Of course he was late. You'd think having super speed would have helped with that, but no. It just meant he had more time to do a ton of things and forget about appointments. He was a streak of black and grey moving through the city, running and rushing past everything. Black pants, running shoes, a grey jacket, currently hanging open to reveal his favorite white T-Shirt with a big black rocket on the front until. He finally came to a stop right in front of Atomic Tower, a gust of wind catching up to him, his blonde hair a mess from the run as he stumbled a step or two to regain his footing and almost tumbled into the woman that was standing there before catching himself and moving around her in the blink of an eye. "Sorry, sorry! Stopping's not always easy!"

GM Dr. Midas paused, staring at Outrider. She of course couldn't see his expression behind the armor. If nothing else, Outrider's bravado was giving him pause. "Omegadrones? You have taken down Omegadrones?" He looked around for a moment, as if he was trying to figure out if there were any Omegadrones nearby, before deciding that he would be better off trying to take down the Outrider. "I am more powerful than any Omegadrone!" Another golden blast from a gauntlet, this one hit Outrider straight in the chest, even if Dr. Midas' voice seemed to shake a bit as he yelled at her.
-
Resist: 14 Well, he's intimidated, but what effect are you trying to use? I'll assume you're going for Demoralize unless you tell me otherwise! Midas tries to blast Outrider again: 18 That's a hit, give me a DC23 TOU save! Charlie is still suiting up, gonna skip his turn. 15 - Outrider - 4HP - Unharmed 15 - Dr. Midas - Unharmed, Demoralized (one round, -2ATK/Checks) 10 - Nevermore II - 3HP - Unharmed

"Plant gravity? How's that work? She makes grass heavy?" There was a bit of a laugh to his voice at the bad joke. Get Carrie tested? It might be a good idea, but would Jessie like that? Probably not. Casper had considered that Carrie might inherit his powers or something like them some day, but they had never really talked about it. "Sounds like a good idea. Not sure what her mom'll say about it, she kind of wanted to get away from all the crazy." Anything weird? "Eh, I dunno. Not really living together anymore, so I don't see her as much as I'd like. Wasn't anything back then, but if anything's happened, my ex haven't told me." He paused. "That came out wrong. She'd tell me if anything happened."

"No, no, I think not," Pan said, shaking his head with a smile before taking hold of Eira's hand and pulling her along. "I think that we should go pet the dogs, yes." He tried to pull her into the small pen, quickly kneeling by the puppies and motioning for Eira to come next to him, while he reached out for one of the puppies with a flat hand. "Come now, little friend. Do not be scared!" He was all smiles as the curious little pup came closer. Producing a squeaky toy, Pan squeaked it a few times, holding it up above the pup and let it jump a few times before letting it take the toy, then looked to Eira. "See? He is adorable, come, pet him."

Ghost froze for a moment, just standing completely still and staring into the distance. "... y'know, i didn't even consider that the kid might get powers..." Groaning, he sat down on the air and buried his face in his hands. "Sheesh, she's only gonna turn 7 this year. How do you even deal with something like that? Guessing your's takes after her mom?"
