GM The party continues merrily as the group drinks their rum and sake, getting a strong buzz going. No one pays much attention to the five teens drinking, but what does draw a small amount of attention is the large man with black hair who seems to be looking for someone. The observant ones at the table may have seen him, and noted his strong resemblance to Alice. Perhaps he is the brother she mentioned?

The Dreamer The Dreamer waved to the people eyeing Blackstaff with a vague smile, pulling some more conjured gifts from the satchel at the back of her reindeer for her dreams to distribute as Blackstaff asked his question. She had no clue of what caused the stutter, but put it from her mind as she nodded. "That sounds wonderful, Christopher. The nights are quite cold, even when dressed appropriately." As they begin walking, The Dreamer continues to chat. "Do you have any interesting tales to share since our last meeting?" GM The pair began to move away from the site, but the other magic followed, growing stronger, although Blackstaff still cannot pinpoint it's source.

Shadowborne Muirne had been thinking of how to steal Luke aside for a private conversation when the feeling of wrongness settled in at Rot's approach. Reflexively her shadows poured out, her outline blurring out into shadows, eyes becoming green pinpoints of light as she stared at Consuelo. Claws formed at the ends of her fingers before she pulled them back, the lingering shadows dancing around her body as she spoke. "I go by Shadowborne. I graduated this year." Her tone was cold, made sinister by the slowly reducing shadows still flowing over her. What is happening? Ignoring Aoife's question, Muirne turned to Mizuki, a slightly regretful smile playing over her lips, when they are visible past the liquid darkness playing across her person. "I am afraid I need to steal Nightscale to the side. I wanted to have a private conversation with him. I hope you enjoy your evening " Before she can make her retreat, Aoife wrests control of some of the remaining Schattenwelt energy from her, her face disappearing beneath them. "The party is pretty nice, Rot. Have fun." This time, despite the crawling hiss of the darkness, her voice seems... warmer towards the other girl.

While you can sense the magic, the exact source is hidden from you.

@Spacefurry OOC for this Blackstaff has a extra hero point for his charity, bringing him to 5. Could I also have a notice check from you please?

The Dreamer The Dreamer watches Blackstaff closely, trying to spot imperfections or the like that may help her decide of he was the real one. She stopps after a few moments, although it's hard to tell if she's decided he's a dream or not. Still, she smiles at him. "Regardless, what brings you out here this night, Christopher? Saving more people?" GM The young girl thanks the wizard for the candy, handing him a single match in exchange before fading suddenly from view. Perhaps the rumors of a spirit were not entirely incorrect, simply applied to the wrong individual. Before he can make anything of it however, he can sense a new magical presence somewhere nearby.

Shadowborne Muirne smiled watching Luke interact with Fleur's toddler, always enjoying seing his softer side come to the fore, and snorted quietly at his comment about safety. Unable to help herself she leaned over to faux whisper in Mizuki's ear, "It really was, there was a dragon, and a shadow monster! Some of the students weren't much better either, we had one guy who would steal everyone's secrets, and another who kept destroying the textbooks." She winked at Luke, before speaking more normally, "I'm Muirne by the way, Shadowborne in costume." Muirne shook his hand, noting the accent with interest. "Muirne Sceadusangere, I go by Shadowborne. It's nice to meet you, Lawrence."

Shooting Star Alice followed along the explanation as closely as one can when the stream of words starts going. One thing did stick out to her to ask. "If the thieves do attack the other transports do you want us to respond or hold on case it's a diversion?" She was fast enough to cross the city in seconds, but she couldn't be in two places at once. When he stopped for them to introduce themselves she considered mentioning the incident she'd been through with Leon and his friends, but given thay she'd been in her civilian clothes with a stop sign for a mask, she decided otherwise. Instead she offered a hand to shake. "Shooting Star, I look forward to working with you. We should compare what we can do to form a plan. I fly and I'm super strong, not much more going on unless we need to go to space."

The Dreamer The Dreamer smiled down at the girl as she handed her the blanket and drink she'd conjured. The first to notice the wizard's approach were the dreams, many pulling back from him seemingly fearful, a small handful instead approaching, seemingly curious or awed. Whispers abound from the more intelligent dreams, only snippets making it to Christopher's ears, "... The Blackstaff ... wizard! ... Knows the Carnifex ..." The only dream that seems unfazed by his arrival is a three inch long hookah-smoking caterpillar, who simply puffs a smoke ring in his direction. The Dreamer does not seem to notice the reaction of her dreams until she hears Christopher's voice, stiffening slightly in surprise. Quickly she turns to face the investigator. "Christopher?" She looks quizzically at him. "Oh, I ought to know better by now that when I see you it is a dream. You are still in Emerald City. Still, it is good to see you, even if you are not here."

Name: Vueriz Codename: Blue Bolt Year: Sophomore Pronouns: she/her Prospective Roommate: EDIT: Consuelo Nunez Goal: Currently she has not seen enough of Earth to really form a plan, although if someone did flip through her diary, the big three are 'experience this earth school', 'be a super cool rebel hero' and 'stick it to The Man' with a side note to find out who exactly The Man is on Earth. Favorite Music: Punk Rock, Metal and Dubstep. If it's loud and fast, especially with rebellious themes, she'll love it.

Shadowborne Muirne smiled indulgingly at Luke about scaring the Monster off, deciding not to point out that it had only fled when the Freedom League arrived. She did look particularly relieved when Velocity assured her that Fleur was fine, before nearly jumping out of her skin at the heroine's sudden arrival. Still, she recovered quickly enough to give Fleur a smile and a wave. "It is good to see you again, I'll admit despite everyone's assurances I was still worried about your..." She glances to the children, considering her words, "Injuries."

Shooting Star Alice laughed as Luke belched fire, generously pouring more of the burning liquid into people's glasses (including a hefty pour for Leon at his request), the strong alcohol almost making her eyes water as she knocked back an unwise quantity of it in a single gulp. Her joviality faded at Owain's question about making money, scowling into her glass before tossing back some more. "Honestly not the foggiest idea. I've been thinking about going to FCU and working part time, by that doesn't leave much time to be Shooting Star. My brother Aaron offered to help pay for me to go, but..." Instead of finishing the thought, she instead finishes her glass of rum, shaking her head violently to clear the burning of the alcohol before pouring herself another immediately. "What about the rest of you? Pursuing higher education, looking for work, looking for a breadwinner to be a house spouse for?"

GM It does not take long before Blackstaff begins to see signs of this gift-giving entity, people with new and fanciful blankets, jackets, cloaks and ponchos, despite the late hour some children wander, now clad in warm layers with new toys, some clutch teddies of dragons and fairies, others dolls of various characters and people they know, one boy holds a posable action figure of a young hero, with some matching origami paper. The magic is familiar, reminding the investigator of a friend from Emerald City who he hasn't seen in a while, but what really seals the memory in his head is the menagerie of creatures and stories as he approaches the epicenter. A small griffin and hippogriff race through the chill air, a company of clockwork soldiers march in formation and a tiny version of himself sits at a miniature table with a familiar snake man, sipping tea. Finally, he rounds the corner to find a familiar face in a festive red dress astride a reindeer bedecked in decorations and holly, a great number of bells dangling from its antlers. There, looking for all the world like a young, female Santa is Adrianna Liddel, currently handing a blanket and cup of warm cocoa to what looks like the Little Match Girl.

Shadowborne Muirne's choked sob turned to an animal scream of rage as her hands clutched at Luke's back, spear clattering to the ground. The cry petered out as her worn voice failed her. Aoife pulled the shadows back, coating herself in a partial transformation. She could feel him, she could sense Casanova's life, and the link he had made with her power. She would end them both in one swoop. Her hand stretched out to recover her spear as she began to speak, shadows running over the weapon.p "Ic gewille tæsan þá flæsc fram úre bān, wearg." Her eyes were clenched shut, hot tears soaking into Luke's shirt as she began, a whisper at first, but quickly gaining volume. "I swear, upon everything I still have that I will have my revenge! DO YOU HEAR ME, SHIELDS!?" Despite her closed eyes she still knew where he was, able to detect his lifeforce. "I SWEAR ON MY PARENTS GRAVES, I'M GOING TO ****ING KILL YOU!"

Okay, Aoife is gonna switch Schattenwelt Drawing to Base Power: [10 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 29PP] Additional Descriptor(s): (Partial Transformation) Elongation 5 (100ft. Extension; Extras: Projection) [10PP] Super-senses 8 (Life Awareness; Descriptor Frequency: Very Common; Sense Type: Mental, Default: None; Extras: Accurate, Acute, Ranged; Feats: Uncanny Dodge [Life Awareness]) [8PP] Super-movement 1 (Swinging; Extras: Linked [Speed (+0)]) [2PP] Speed 3 (Extras: Linked [Super-movement (+0)]) [3PP] Super-movement 3 (Permeate, Wall-Crawling, Trackless) [6PP] And do nothing else, since assuming control is a full action, so she is just gonna be ¡~dramatic~!

Returned from the shadows by Thev Just noticed two errors on Shadowborne's new sheet! Her Damage 10 is mighty, making her the sites first PL10.5 based on her numbers lol, and I made the Metamorph Innate, which is not only weird, but runs counter to her own backstory haha. Could someone please replace the start of her Powers section with the following: Powers: 13 + 1 + 34 + 12 + 2 = 62PP All powers have the following descriptors: (Dimensional, Darkness, Schattenwelt) Damage 9 (Shadowed Weapons; Feats: Affects Insubstantial 1, Incurable, Mighty, Variable Descriptor 1 [Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing]) [13PP] (Empowerment, Held Object) Morph 1 (Shadowbeast Form; Extras: Duration [Continuous]; Feats: Metamorph; Drawbacks: Action [Standard Action]) [1PP] (Transformation) Schattenwelt Drawing Array 14.5 (29PP Array; Feats: Alternate Power 5) [34PP]

GM December 18th, Southside The night was quiet, a light smattering of snow across the street as Blackstaff began his investigation. A new spirit had been active in Southside, handing out gifts, and a local had asked him to look into it, figure out what the spirit was like, no one wanted to offend it and draw it's wrath. Still, asking around hadn't been particularly enlightening, some people said the spirit rode a sled, others a reindeer, others more mythical things like griffins and dragons. All that he could for certain tell was that the gifts were magical in origin, something familiar, although he couldn't place exactly where.

Shooting Star Alice returned the half-hug with Leon, following along the conversation with a smile, congratulating Neko on her success, and giving a light chuckle at Owain's comment about being an apprentice Farrier. "I suppose it's no wonder Mike finally won a bet on a Freedom based horse if you've been taking care of them. I think I'll take you up on a visit sometime, just don't try getting me on one, it'd be a rather cruel thing to do to the poor horse." She offered a sympathetic shoulder pat to Owain as he mentioned his relationship troubles, before guffawing at Neko's suggestion. Her smile stayed as she led them to one of the tables that had been set out, double checking the glasses were clean before turning to the others. "We starting with the sake or the rum?" Handing out everyone's drinks, she took a large drink of her own.

Shadowborne Muirne supposed she shouldn't be surprised at this point that as soon as she mentioned their outing with the Freedom League that one of the people involved in the incident appeared. "Good evening Velocity, it is nice to be able to meet under better circumstances." She could feel Aoife's attention draw towards the new conversation partner as Velocity introduced them to Grimalkin. She returned the handshake with a smile and self conscious laugh, "I am not too surprised that you have not heard of me, my heroic resume isn't particularly extensive... or all that successful to be honest. Probably the most noteworthy thing I've done was not die when a monster attacked the patrol we were on with the Freedom League." Pausing for a moment, Muirne turned back to Velocity, "Speaking of, do you know what came of that? I hope Fleur was alright in the end. "

The targetting computer's a good point. I didn't think about it. As for the Dynamic Array, in my original build it was using Feats to let me switch up my Attack Bonus vs. Damage to have a variable to hit tradeoff, but Thev pointed out the much simpler solution of Power Attack and Accurate Attack, so I'll probably drop it, free up the PP for fixing those errors you pointed out. Thank you for pointing out the Comprehend, it is really weirdly written. Edit: Fixed the issues

Shadowborne Muirne wore a knee length burgundy dress with her hair in a (now rather windswept) braid. Her skin had lost some of the pallor it had in the warehouse where Casanova had holed up, but she was still particularly pale. "Thank you Fýrdraca, you look very handsome yourself." She looked pensively inside, "Let's hope that it goes more smoothly than our last outing with the Freedom League."

Shadowborne Muirne looked tired as she surveyed the chaos, barely recognizing what was happening at first as Bernadette ran rampant throughout the hideout. Still, she recognized Luke as he attacked Casanova. Letting her shadows flow out from her was a familiar pain now, skittering shadows flowing over Luke, Casanova and Bernadette, although to little effect against the aggressors, only binding Cas. She spoke up quietly, her voice sounding worn and tired, "Fýrdraca, please don't make me fight you. Just let him go." She spread her arms, like she wanted him to come give her a hug.

Shooting Star Alice had to admit, getting one of your friends to sing was a good way to be found in a crowd, given it let both her and Luke find the others. She returned his hug with a more careful on of her own, her strength having continued to grow over the year. "Hey Luke, it's been too long. Mostly just been the same old stuff. What about you?" She also joined the round of applause for Owain, careful not to lose her (definitely very legal) bottle of rum during the motion, before approaching the other trio. "Hey you three, how've your years been?" Heroically she fought down the urge to give Neko's fuzzy ears scratches, instead brandishing her alcoholic prize. "Anyone up for a drink? I can't promise it tastes good, but knowing Uncle Mike it could probably put Omega on his ass."

Across the Stars by Thev Just sneaking in to do some edits at the end of the year. First is just an update to her description due to her not being 17 anymore and to follow her increased density: Description: Age: DOB: 20 August 2004 Gender: Female Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 6'1" Weight: 28,665 lbs (191.1 sans Density) 109.3lbs if Muscle Atrophied Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Alice is tall and well developed, with a well toned muscles and a curvy hourglass figure. Her hair reaches to between her shoulder blades. It looks light and bouncy, but anyone who touches it finds that it is heavier than it appears, although still soft. She has full lips and a slightly concave button nose. She has high cheekbones and large expressive blue eyes that seem to invite people around her to be comfortable. As a civilian Alice wears dull, often very loose clothes, many are hand-me-downs from her brother that have been modified to fit her figure better, although they still hang loose off of her. As Shooting Star she wears a white body-glove with sky blue boots and gloves, her cape is similarly white, with a blue trim around the edges. She wears a bronze breastplate over her torso, although she doesn't need the armour. To conceal her identity she wears a cowl that lets her hair out but covers her eyes and nose. Unlike most heroes her suit is not made of any advanced materials, and mostly she relies on her own invulnerability and it's form fitting nature to resist damage as bullets and blades normally don't penetrate her skin, so the costume does not tear, but the suit and especially the cape does often end up dirtied or torn, and there are often holes, tears and dents in her breastplate. For abilities her base strength went down 2 to make up for Density going up, and fixed the numbers listed, since I'd noted constitution wrong in the totals. Updated her carrying capacity. ABILITIES: -10 + 4 + 10 + 8 + -2 + 10 = 20PP Strength: 40/0 (+15/-5) (Super Strength 6, Carrying Capacity: 200 tons) Dexterity: 14 (+2) Constitution: 20 (+5) Intelligence: 18 (+4) Wisdom: 8 (-1) Charisma: 20 (+5) Base Attack Bonus went up by 1, her defense went up by one due to dodge focus. COMBAT: 6 + 4 = 10PP Initiative: +2 Attack: +5 Melee (+3 Base, +2 Melee Attack Focus), +2 Ranged (+2 Base) Defense: +5 (+2 Base, +3 Dodge Focus), +1 Flat-Footed Grapple: +26 (+5 Melee, +15 Strength, +6 Super-Strength) Knockback: -18 Shaved off a couple points of Fortitude and Reflex to afford things. Toughness went up to 15, Impervious increased to 10 SAVING THROWS: 3 + 6 + 5 = 14PP Toughness: +15 (+5 Con, +10 Density), 10 Impervious Fortitude: +8 (+5 Con, +3 Base) Reflex: +8 (+2 Dex, +6 Base) Will: +4 (-1 Wis, +5 Base) Dodge Focus went up 1.

Okay, just Luke and Bernadette then. DC20 Reflex from @Nerdzul and @Thevshi
