Ghost Greatest Hits --- Casper felt like he was falling. Deeper and deeper, spinning towards a strong gravitational pull. Try as he might, he could not escape. Something was pulling him on, deeper and deeper into… The extradimensional looking glass was meant to look into other dimensions. It would show the scientists at ASTRO Labs other worlds, letting them study everything and anything about those other worlds. It was almost too good to be true. And it was. Casper stared at the looking glass before him. He had seen this before, just like this, on that day, so many years ago. What was this? Why was he here again? then it malfunctioned again, his body was saturated with a strange energy. It stung, but it passed quickly and then… Ghost was flying through the air, passing through walls and obstacles, anything in his way. The audience cheered, he was a hit, everyone loved him and then… Bullets were flying around him, and Ghost was tearing through the shooters. They might as well not have been there at all, as he passed through them, leaving them stuck in walls or the ground, or writhing on the ground. He finally found the man he had been chasing. Cory Cotton. Casper stared at him, holding him up by his shirt, one hand pulled back ready to end him for good. Cory had hired him for the TV show in the first place. Cory had been the one to trust in him. Cory had been part of the group that had hit ASTRO Labs and killed Doctor Palmer and then… A golden fist passed through Ghost’s face. Dr. Midas. How many times had he fought that guy? Was he the one that did this to him? Casper stared at the golden armor and… wait. He knew this one. This was the first time had had fought Dr. Midas. That janky old golden armor, it looked more like a golden barrel than anything else. Midas had no idea how to handle him back then, just kept throwing punches, didn’t even have any blasters in his armor yet. Just thought he could go in and be unstoppable, nobody could touch him, but Casper had been able to ghost through the armor and get to him inside it and then… Casper stared up at Jessie. He was on one knee, a ring that had cost him months’ worth of savings in a box in his hands, held out to her. She was smiling, her hands in front of her face, tears of happiness streaming down her face. Oh god, Casper had almost forgotten that smile. That wonderful smile, it was almost too much to bear, knowing all that would happen, knowing everything they would experience, everything to come and then… The Wordsmith shouted something about knives, and they appeared. He threw them at Casper, and they managed to cut him, somehow. So that was what this was, then. Going back through fight after fight, reliving the past, every fight, every high point, every low point. Great. Just great. As a the Wordsmith threw some more weapons at Ghost, he spun out of the way, evading them, went in close to take him down and then… Ghost was thrown back by the force of the blow. Half his face felt numb. His white costume was stained red. Casper struggled to his feet, looking up at the guy in front of him. Cameron Christopher Carter had always been a thorn in his side. Whenever Ghost did something good, he’d make sure to rant and rave about him, making him out to be the bad guy. This was one of those bad times, when everyone thought Casper was a bad guy. The guy called himself Ecto. Some kind of ghost hunting bounty hunter or something like that, and he believed that Casper was a bad guy, and a real ghost. It was great, just great. Of course he knew how to touch a ghost, and he was strong. Liked to beat up ghosts with his bare hands. He had Casper cornered inside a burning building. No way out but through him. They were not alone, either. People crying out for help, crying out for Ghost to save them, and here he was, wasting time fighting Ecto, and then… Casper stared at Carrie, holding her for the first time. She was crying, but it didn’t matter. She was calming down already. Nothing else mattered right now. She was here, she was so tiny, so vulnerable, so absolutely perfect. He would never let go, he would never let anyone hurt her. He would always be here for her. Casper smiled softly at the tiny little girl in his arms, and then… The snow was cold on his face. Casper slowly opened his eyes, looking up. How much longer? How much more did he have to relive? How was this happening? Why was this happening? He didn’t want to do it anymore. Pulling himself up, he looked ahead and froze in his tracks. The snow was red. Not just Casper’s own blood, either. It was Freezeburn. Of course it was Freezeburn. He was laughing, freezing his victims in their tracks before breaking them. Casper could see his own breath, as he pushed through the pain and the cold. He had to stop him. With a yell, Ghost threw himself at Freezeburn, and then… "I will eat, devour and consume you. Run in terror, fear and horror. You cannot defeat, slay or conquer me! I am invincible, indestructible, unkillable!" Casper stopped. Ecto, Wordsmith, Freezeburn, and now… Thesaurus Rex. He felt like laughing. Finally someone easy. Thesaurus Rex stood at his full height before Casper, a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex with a tiny top hat and a monocle. Casper never figured out how he got either on. He smiled behind his mask, leapt at Thesaurus Rex, and then… “I’m sorry, Casper. I love you, but I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do this to Carrie, just waiting around for the day when you’re not coming home. You’re always trying to save everyone, except for us.” More than anything else, hearing Jessie’s words was the final straw. Casper screamed at the heavens, and then…

@Nerdzul Give me a DC10 Con check to see if you can recover from Suffocate on Red Death's turn.

@Nerdzul Still up too high, and while Kaede's idea is good, as, well, an idea, the system doesn't allow that due to the suffocation. You can reach the ground on your round, though, letting the rest get off unharmed.

That's a hit. Drain resisted by device rank: 22, nope The damage effect is blocked by his Impervious Toughness 9. Give me an IC @RedSpine, then @Nerdzul is up

TOU: 18 Third Little Pig is bruised and dazed.

Little Mermaid II Nazi Punchin' Mermaid --- Things weren’t going great, to be honest. Tanks were rolling through the streets in countryside, flanked by soldiers in grey uniforms with red armbands with Swastikas. Of course Mette knew what they were, but why were they here? And why was she here? She had seen some signs. She was in Southern Jutland, and these were obviously Nazis. She could see some scattered resistance from soldiers with Danish flags, but they weren’t really much of a match, especially not with the guy with the big hammer and the wolf guy on the Nazis’ side. Mette recognized those, too: Members of die Übersoldaten. She had watched them on the news, they were soldiers during the second World War, so… she was time travelling? Yeah, alright. Why not. The former Little Mermaid said she had time travelled once or twice, why not Mette too, right? Just a little time travel, had to be like some kind of super hero initiation thing, right? Just meant Mette was up for it now and… No, no, it wasn’t alright at all. Time travel was weird, she shouldn’t do anything, right? Stay put, figure out a way to get home, don’t affect things at all. That was the way to go, right? The man with the hammer swung his hammer and a hill disappeared. Mette was pretty sure that he was Thor or something like that. "Fandens også." Mette was already in costume when she condensed the moisture in the air around them to a powerful water blast aimed directly at the big guy with the hammer. He barely had time to look up before he was thrown back, while Mette leapt from the hill she had been standing on, landing on top of him. ”Velkommen til Danmark, dit røvhul.” She punched him in the face once. Got a few more punches in before she was tackled to the side by the wolf. Mette felt the claws racking across her arms, felt his hot breath. He was strong, he had momentum, but she was stronger. She could get him off in a second, then… Mette’s train of thoughts were broken when something threw the wolf off her. He yelped, tumbling across the ground before quickly stopping himself. A woman offered a green-clad hand to Mette, quickly pulling her up and… She was not alone. Mette’s jaw just about hit the ground. ”Det er umuligt…” Two women stood before her. One of them wore a short dark blue dress, long light blue opera gloves and leggings, a darker blue domino mask and a short dark blue cape. All of the darker blue had a white snowflake pattern added. The other... It looked like an older version of Mette suit’s, to be honest. Red and white, green scales, looked like an old timey swimsuit. She was the one that had just helped Mette and… “Flot dragt,” the woman in red, white and green remarked to Mette, before stepping past her. “Koncentrer dig, Havfrue.” The woman in blue was far sterner, more focused. She looked down at the German soldiers and waved her hand. The sound of breaking glass was followed by glittering shards falling on the soldiers. Some screamed in fear. Others clutched their chests, their bodies soon covered by ice. The woman in green moved, leaping at Thor. She got a few good hits in before he blew her away with a hammer strike. He was laughing, saying something in German about liking her spirit. Mette leapt into action, following the woman and crashing into the Thor. ”Lad hende være!” He was ready this time, and he was laughing. The wolf came at her again, while the woman in blue waved her arms, blasting him back with a focused stream of ice. The wolf groaned and roared, but stood up despite the cold. He said something in German. Something about eating the blue woman’s entrails. It was all very nasty and sick. The woman in green created a wave of water that collided with the cold, creating a solid ice pole that slammed into the wolf. The woman in blue yelled something nasty in German, then the fight went on. While Mette and the two women fought against the two Übersoldaten, the battle raged around them. The Danish soldiers really were no match for the German forces, and soon, they were driven back. Slowly, but surely, Thor and the Sea-Wolf started to overpower the two women. Mette tried to help. She really did, but die Übersoldaten were too strong. She could stand her ground, but not much else… and not while keeping everything else safe. A German soldier approached with a gun to a Danish soldier’s head. Reluctantly, the three women stopped fighting, while Thor and the Sea-wolf looked too happy about the situation, like they knew something that the Danish heroes did not. “Aufhören zu kämpfen. Hör mal zu.” The German soldier’s tone was commanding. Certain. He pushed the gun against the Danish soldier’s head as he smiled at Mette and the two women. “Jeg… De… Der er nyt fra København. Tyskerne truer med at bombe København. Vi skal overgive os med det samme.” He was stammering, stumbling over his words, but, it seemed genuine. “Giver vi op?” The woman in green sounded like she couldn’t believe her own ears. It was just an impossible thought to her. Mette gasped. She knew this. She remembered this, from her history classes. Was this why she didn’t know anything about these two women? Where they super heroes from before the Danish hero purge during the occupation? The woman in green, she had to be using the Little Mermaid book, and the other, she could be a predecessor to the Snow Queen, and… did the previous Mermaid know about this? “Nej…” The woman in blue was shaking, while Thor leered at her. “Jeg gør det ikke. De bomber os til helvede lige meget hvad vi gør! Jeg overgiver mig ikke til dem! Se på dem! Hør på dem? Tror du at stopper før de bestemmer over alting? Jeg gør det ikke!” Something was wrong. Mette could feel it. She was disappearing. Leaving. She tried to yell, but she couldn’t. Tried to warn the women. They couldn’t hear her anyway. The frozen soldiers, the ones that had grasped their hearts… The ice that surrounded them were turning black.

GM Chump looked up at Howl, Arrow and Nevermore and, with a sigh, he finally calmed down. "Alright, alright... I give up." He grunted and shook his head. "Head's all fuzzy, anyway." After they let him, he would stand up and look around. Toxin was starting to get back up, rubbing her head through the suit. Bluebird was still out cold, and the same was Casanova, hanging upside down from the tree. Stinger was still struggling lightly against Nightscale, but the fight was clearly out of her. "So? Are you gonna let me go or what?" She paused, before smiling. "Or do you just like being all up close against me? Is that it, Dragonboy?"

That is a 21. Resist: 5 Yeah, Chump surrenders. And we're out of combat, feel free to go to semi-random posting order, just try to avoid double posting between my GM posts, please.

Nevermore II "I'll stop the runner." Taking aim for a second, Nevermore fired a line towards the running gangster's legs and... yeah, that wasn't gonna hit anyway. He should focus, here. Aiming towards a building, he fired a grappling line instead, quickly letting it pull him in and sending him swinging past the running wannabe gangster, landing in front of him. "C'mon, no need to run, buddy. We just wanna talk."

Charlie goes for the gangster! Standard Action: Use Nevermore's Tri power to stop the gangster: 9. I kinda doubt that hits, but eh, we'll leave it. Move Action: Use the grappling gun to swing after the gangster and try to get in front of him to stop him from getting away.

Nevermore II "Sure, grab what you like." Yeah, he had enough for that. And a few slices for himself. "Gotta watch out for that Hawaiin, by the way. Gets people up in arms." Picking out a few slices and a drink for himself, Charlie moved to pay, before handing El her pizza and soda. "We can look if you want to, but don't feel like you have to do. Don't worry, I got this. Dunno how it is where you're from, but I'm good with helping a friend out without needing anything in return." He motioned with his head to the side, and led her to a table, quickly slipping into a seat and waiting for El to follow and take the first bite. "So? What do you think?"

GM The black ice that covered the three others shattered, shards flying everywhere. In their place stood three humanoids with the heads of pigs. The remains of their clothes hung from their body, their tusks were far longer than they should have been, their eyes were large and bulging. Their arms and legs were long, thick, massively muscled. Their all had little curls on their tails. One little pig ran to the wolf, pulling fat off its own stomach and threw it in the wolf's mouth. The flesh grew back instantly. A second little pig ran to Zhenschina-voin, slamming headfirst into the Russian heroine. The third little pig ran to the leader of the heroes, grunting and oinking as it tried to break through her defenses.

First Little Pig: Runs up to the wolf and uses Healing on him: The Bruise is recovered. Second Little Pig runs up to Zhenschina-voin and attacks: 25, that's a hit. @Tiffany Korta give me a DC25 TOU save Third Little Pig runs up to Synapse and attacks: 19, that's a hit @Thevshi give me a DC25 TOU save And @Kaede Kimura is up 24 - Little Mermaid II - 5HP - Unharmed 20 - Zhenschina-voin - 2HP - Unharmed 20 - Big Bad Wolf - Unharmed 17 - Synapse - 3HP - Unharmed 12 - Three Little Pigs -- First Little Pig - Unharmed -- Second Little Pig - Unharmed -- Third Little Pig - Unharmed 9 - Shadowborne - 3HP - Unharmed

"Wait, wait. You said giant bees? Like, the Beekeeper's giant bees?" Casper shook his head agan. "I'd wondered where they'd gone. Tangled with him a few times. Would't really call him a regular in any way back then but, y'know. You kinda remember giant bees." He was still thinking about those bees. It had been so long since he had last chased some of them down, now he couldn't get them out of his mind. It was like some kind of buzzing feeling in the back of his head. So weird. "Huh." Ghost had barely even listenend. Beens on his mind now. "Sorry. Its all buzz buzz right now. Its weird. I honestly never really found out what was going on with all the Communion stuff. Bit above my usual grade, I guess." A team? That was an idea, yeah. "Tried to get involved with teams a few times, never really worked out. I mean, not against working with people, but something always seems to get in the way."

Forever Boy Pan smiled at Micah. It was a genuinely happy smile, but it was faint and fleeting. "I love you as well, my friend. And I care too much about you to lie." He pushed on. Were they far enough yet? No, not quite. But maybe soon. "I do not know what will happen. All of this is new, all of this is different. If the detectives were right, and my disappearance somehow broke the story, then I must make it right, and bring Neverworld back to what it was." He paused, ever so briefly. "I want to show you and Eira the wonderful world that this was. Not the nightmare it has become." Was there something in the distance? He was not quite sure. Not there yet, at any rate. "I would hope that the Wish Isle will be a homecoming, with the Pixies agreeing to aid us, but, who knows? This world is not as it was."

GM Jonathan crossed his arms. "And how do you think that'll help? The preacher did something to our minds. This won't solve anything. They won't even care about these people. That's why he had us gather them in the first place." Raising one arm, he hit the side of the cave wall. The entire place shook. "Better to bury all this away. Including the Preacher."

Archer II Heh, this girl was good. The guy was getting good and scared, telling her everything he knew. That was good, but he didn't know much. Still, it was enough to help them. "Bring him along. I got the other guy caught inside the stairwell."

@Cubismo is up

GM Billy continued to struggle for a moment before finally stopping. "... Yeah... Alright..." As he calmed down, he seemed to start shrinking. Not all the way back to his normal self, but less monstrous, at least. The drugs hadn't worn off quite yet. "I dunno much, honestly. Never seen the big man himself, only worked through middle men. Asked me if I wanted to get rich, so, I said hell yeah. Got that aMaZo, and yeah... I'm getting drops every now and again, a package in front of my door. Just got this number I'm texting when I need someting or when there's trouble, then those guys show up. Honest, that's all I know!"

Forever Boy "You gotta kiss the gi-iii-iiiirl!" Pan finished off his song, the giant pink heart around Muirne and Luke disappearing as the Forever Boy took a grinning bow, microphone held out to one side. "This is it, then! Who will sing next?" His eyes scanned the crowd, holding the microphone out. He could make a choice, of course, but maybe there was someone would step up first!

REBELLION Rebellion stood on a rooftop. The party below him caught his eye every now and again, but it was not why he was here. He had a mission. He had no time for parties or celebration. He had endangered his family, no matter how they might have betrayed him in the past, his actions had endangered them. Rebellion had laid low for a while, but ever since he had been thrown into the future, meeting himself... or whatever else had happened... well, the itch was back. He couldn't stop now. He had to find out more about the Chamber, and expose them. His mission could succeed. His future self had mentioned a Tomiko. Perhaps this was the night he would find her.

OOC for this. @Spacefurry @Kaede Kimura

GM 11:30 PM February 12th, 2021 Jadetown, Emerald City The Night of the Chinese New Year Celebrations It was an evening of celebration in the streets of Jadetown, and on this evening, even the Takazumi-gumi seemed to be at ease, content to simply celebrate. It was the year of the metal ox. Some saw that as a sign, the year that the Steel Shogun would rise even further. Others simply enjoyed the festivities. Anyone and everyone in the city were welcome, at least for now. Perhaps the party, a smell of the supernatural at play, or something else entirely, would bring heroes to this night. While a parade made their way through the streets, a group of Takazumi-gumi that were defintely not in a party mood, led by a young man, led a young woman through the streets of the city...
