  3. While Luke could sense a bit of awkwardness radiating from his robotic friend, he mostly connected it to the sudden reunion and his some-times excessive enthusiasm. "Where have you been all this time by the way?" He asked moments later. At first Luke had relaxed seeing how the conversation between Ghule and Chaz had unfolded, she seemed alright after all, plus she had faught valiantly against the Conqueror Workm and his lackey anyway. "Yeah would be cool to have you by our side... Welcome to the freakin' team..." He smiled warmly and offered her a decise handshake. The appearance of his girl certainly did bring a smile to his face. "Hey... Come here you..." He saluted her with a smile. "I was just finished dispensing hugs, but I think I got one more in me...." He grinned ear to ear. The tune of the scene though changed fast when Leon got involved. Luke uneasily shifted the balance on his feet as he watched the situation unfold. "He does have a point, though..." He nodded when his room-mate spoke. "Chaz... Look. You didn't need to share the entire mission with us, but you could have told us something... " He continued, without anymosity in his voice. "I mean we could have helped if you were in trouble, the both of you..." He added, his gaze shifting towar Shift. In truth, he kinda could understand them, the life of a superhero was not an esy one and, while he hated doing so, he had found himself having to lie to his little brother about his escapades to help keep him out of troubles. Whatever. "You two did score a point or two, though, I can give you that, when you found a certain someone I love and helped kicking the asses of those those two worms..." He 'concede' playfully. "The one with the capital 'W' and the piece of- telepath as well..." "I am in, of course..." He nodded at Chaz offer echoeing Bernie. "I mean... as a Guardian... That's not in question..." "As for this place, it looks f-ing dope, but... I dunno... If that's part of the whole HQ deal, I am not sure I can move in full time... I mean... our landlord had just barely began to tolerate us... I don't wanna break her heart." He joked, although it wasn't hard to guess what might motivate his decision (although there were also definitely perks in having his own place now that his girlfriend was back in town as well...). "What do you think man?" He added, shifting his attention to Leon.
  4. When Luke next opened his eyes all he found was the blinding rays of the morning sun, he tried to move his hands to shield them, but he quickly realized that he his arms were struck, chained behind his back to a solid looking metal pole. The only thing he could see when he finally forced himself to face the sun, was the arid vegetation that hat dotted their path during the past day of navigation, the traks of the Imapala were visible on top of a small sandy hill above them. As for their things they were, of course, gone. Car, money, watches, Ids, phones, bags... all lost. Although Ivy, assuming that it was her real name of course, had at least mercifully left them their underwear, she had taken care to clean them up of everything else. Despite his throat being very much dry and his head slightly spinning, the young man still managed to erupt in an impressive tirade of curses (of which, the Southside born kid had a massive repertoire). One that was definitely loud enough to shake the what drowsyness was left in his similarly restrained friend, who was tightly secured against the pole, albeit with one of the bindings going around his paper arm. "You know... I kinda expected for something like this to happen... After we hit Vegas though..." He sighed, when he felt that his friend had recovered his wits. "We are speed running it..." He chuckled dryily. The young man tensed his muscles and tested the bindings again, although the chains would be difficult to escape even for a fit human, they were not really meant to shackle a dragon, albeit it would take some effort to break them. "Come on..." The young man struggled for a bit, grunting as finally the metal gave away, liberating his arms... "Need help by your side?" He offered. ... A few moments later, Luke was nevrvously pacing in the small depression between sandy hills that they have been uncermoniously dumped. "I'm gonna f- ing teach that venomous snake that you don't steal from a dragon..." He grumbled. "I can find our stuff in no time..." He continued, angrily, as he kept planning his revenge. As his friend spoke, Leon's attention was however briefly attracted to a folded sheet of paper that had been left just a few feet from their position. While blank on one side, the other revealed two rough sketches, young men with very familiar features. With a "WANTED" written above in capital letters. Below the illustration, in a smaller font it was later explained that the two dangerous criminals depicted them had just robbed the locally renowned Nacho's Nirvana's diner and that they were dangerous to be approached with care... "Great..." Luke remarked again. As the boys inspected the document something strange happened, as new words began to appear, of some kind of chemical ink. "Thank you boys... I am sorry, but I needed some extra cash, I am sure you'd understand. Besides, it's funny that fate had placed the two of you on my path, you couldn't recognize me, of course, but me and my brother remember our last encounter very well... With Love..." It was signed just with a mark of a kiss. The words remained in front of them for a few minutes, but then they quickly seemed to evaporate under the sun, leaving no trace that they had ever been there.
  5. "It's not the size that matters..." Luke replied playfully, although he winced shortly thereafter as he found himself wondering if he had actually plaied himself... To be honest, he wasn't worried about getting hit too much, after all he has always been quick on his feet. Actually managing to shoot someone though... "Well, there is more of us though..." He mused, shortly thereafter. Four versus three didn't sound chivalrous to him after all. "Aaww... Bragging rights are good man, but a bet could have been fun..." He grinned. The young man shook his head and sighed as he saw the little exchange between his Leon and Chaz. His expression though brithened considerably when his girlfriend literally appeared on the scene. "Hey..." "We shall see..." His gaze shifting to meet Muirne with a playful light in his eyes.
  6. "Not if we have something to say about that..." Luke remarked. Were they getting involved in a gang war? Yep... It would have felt almost nostalgic if his experiences as a young gangster hadn't ended so badly. He jumped past the confrontation ahead, using echoes of his wings to ease the flight and deposited the gold somewhere 'safe' as much as it was possible at least. "Stay put, will you?" He told to the seemingly inert mass of cursed metal. Then he recalled his magic, feeling a moment of trepidation as he imagined a mass of angry molten slag emerging from the box to assault him, but fortunately, at least from now, the gold staied quiet. He inhaled sharply, feeling the heat raising into his chest golden glow radiating from his inner furnace before he exhaled a cone of of fire on the undead hordes. "Extra crispy..." He grinned. 'Weak...'
  7. Nightscale is gonna find a place where he can leave the container with the gold that is not on the ship (and far enough from the fighting) and then he will drop the spell, then if the gold doesn't jump him, he will spend an hero point to breath fire on as many of the zombie as he can without hurting the mobsters (and if they are not standing on stuff that is flammable). Damage 9 (Extras: Area [Type: General; Shape: Cone; Size: 180ft with area 1], Secondary Effect; Flaws: Action [Full], Feats: Progression [Area 1]) If he can't find any target with the breath of fire, he will still leave the gold, but he won't drop the spell, instead he will take a second move action to reach Machete Max and punch him in the face. Strength Attack (Extras: Autofire 1 [9 ranks] ) - > 23 to hit.
  8. For once working at the mall has proven not to be that bad for Luke that had been able to reach the Crossfire as soon as his shift was over. Sure he was still wearing the festive red boardshorts that he used at work, not exactly great as a camouflage, but whatever... Not unlike his friends he had donned the laser tag vest on top of his athletic T-shirt and he was now balancing the fake futuristic looking machine gun in his hands. Now admittedly the nineteen years old wasn't an amazing shot by any stretch of the imagination (and even when playing games his little 'bro tended to own him), he did prefer to go up close and personal with his quarries after all, but that didn't mean he was not gonna have some fun anyway. "F-ing Neat. Good find by the way." He grinned at Bernadette, as he surveyed the arena. "Hey we should build one of these..." He added, this time addressing Chaz. "Feeling lucky that technically I'm not one of those..." He teased. "Girls versus Boys and Robots is fine for me..." He nodded at Ghule's suggestion. Grinning confidently. "Anyway are you people ready to get your asses kicked!" He shouted enthusiastically.
  9. When Luke arrived at the scene above deck, he would have facepalmed, but then again his hands were busy carrying the makeshift container for a bunch of irate gold so... The best he could do was sigh as a scene straight from a Michael Jackson movie video manifested in front of him. "Zombies... Great..." He groaned. Plus, a guy called "Machete Max" definitely wasn't good news. "Yeah..." He nodded at Chimera suggestion. "I'll bring it out of the ship first.." Admittedly cooking the undeads with dragonfire was tempting though, but he wasn't sure if dropping the concentration on his spell while still on the vessel was gonna be a smart idea. "Hopefully it'll stay calm... Otherwise... Claws will have to do... " He added before scanning the area for a nearby building where he could deposit the container as Chimera did her thing.
  10. Another day of Charlie being back, another strange invitation... I guess I'm gonna get accustomed to this. At least this time it was much less ominous than the note he had found leading to that damned warehouse. Whatever. The place was just a short jog away from home anyway, well, one that would have probably be taxing for a human, but then again he was not. Despite still being winter time, the young man had paid little attention to the weather and he was in fact clad, as usual with sweatpants, athletic t-shirt and a baseball cap. The mansion admittedly came a bit of a surprise. It could probably fit the entire area of the trailer park he grew up within inside, couldn't it? "Whoa. Chaz, I didn't know you were so freakin' loaded." Luke smiled warmly as he saluted his friend with an energetic pat on the back. "Ladies..." He bowed his head to Bernie and Ghule. "You're a sight for sore eyes." The sudden appearance of Shift did manage to startle him a bit though. I should have figured out that Chaz wasn't a snowman kind of guy. "Hey..." He protested, but the wide and warm smile on his lips suggested that he was far from offended. "Sure I'd love a tour... But first I need to do something important..." He grinned and than leaned in and gave Shift one of his trademarked bear hug. "Didn't have the time for this at the warehouse..." "I missed you, you know... I... Couldn't even find you with my... well instinct... I always know where my friends are, but It didn't work... You got me scared sick..." He added, the same happened with Muirne, although Chaz presence has still been there, even during his absence, the fellow hero didn't want to be found anyway. "And you too by the way..." He continued addressing Chaz... "You got a bear hug coming as well." He made it sound almost like if it was a threat.
  11. If it's fine Nightscale will interpose for Muirne against the attack of the crowd as well. I totally forgot about the +8 in total to hit btw... Not that it would have changed much, but I think if I did Nightscale would have gone for a -2 to hit and +2 to dagames.
  12. Still reeling from the spear that had managed to pierce his armor, Nightscale buckled against the weave of bodies suddenly being hurdled against his now massive form. He shrugged away a couple of assailants, trying not too hurt any of the Worm victims and stay coiled as if to keep protecting the woman he loved from the assault. He smiled when Shift engulfed the villain with living metal. "Great..." Let's see if he likes that... "You talk too much..." He remarked as the Conqueror Worm kept monologuing, his claws lashing at the restrained villain, whose undead hide, unfortunately was too tough to rend.
  13. 17 Initiative for Nightscale
  14. Nightscale is gonna shrug off the attack of the crowd thanks to impervious. Then he is gonna try to capitalize on Shift creating an opening to hit the Conqueror Worm with his claws. Rending Claws Touch + 7, DC 26 Tou, Damages + Drain Toughness (DC 19) Variable Descriptor, Affect Incorporeal 2, Improved Critical [Crit 19-20] Does a 21 hit? The Drain Toughness is not gonna work right? (due to the immunity to fortitude effects)
  15. Luke winced as the wave of emotions washed upon him, painful memories of a time long gone. He sighed out of relief as the gold calmed, instead of trying to engulf him, still he was gonna have to keep his concentration at least until they were safely out of the ship, but it was one less problem. Gently he tried to gather the now seemingly peaceful mass of gold and searched for an empty crate where it could be stored. The plan was bring it outside of the vessel it hated so much and later contain it God knew where... but that was a problem for another time. He nodded approvingly and gave Chimera a thumb up when her makeshift plug seemed to hold. Although his relief was short lived as an explosion echoed from outside. "Really..." He lamented "Come on..." "Whatever..." Time to grab the gold and go outside.
  16. "Amen to that ...." "Nice to meet you all guys... and gals..." He saluted the rest of the band with a smile and an enthusiastic handshake, when appropriate. "Yeah... Bet is, school is much quieter without us two around." He grinned at Summer. He winced when Leon suggested that they 'recruited' Bernadette for a Disney channel show or something. "Yeah... a terrible fate though." He chuckled. "But what can you do..."
  17. Luke winced and gave Alice a worried look before turning toward her brother. "Everything alright?" "Hey what's up man?" Luke saluted the newcomer, although he could sense the tension in the air. "Is there anythin' better to do than looking for troubles?" The young man teased. "Eh... could be stronger..." He grinned pointing at their supply of drinks. In truth, if he had been a normal human he would have much likely been drunk by now. He wasn't though and while a bit tipsy by now, it was gonna take way more than that to make him properly drunk. "Luke..." He introduced himself and shook the newcomer hand. "And no... I don't think so... Nice to meet you man..."
  18. "Me neither..." Luke nodded at August, there was certainly something that eluded them right now. "Yeah this sucks..." Luke had a worried look in his eyes when he realized that the trail had made an u-turn, they had left the detectives alone after all didn't they? What if the monster had gone for them? He increased his pace significantly as he followed the scent toward the clearing where they had confronted the first escaped bioweapon. Perhaps one of the creature had gone to help the other, or maybe it had concealed itself as one of the officers or something, neither scenario was exactly a good one... As Aquaria jumped, the young man followed, dashing as fast as he could along the trail.
  19. Nightscale has 20 Skill mastery on Notice. He is gonna try and use his emotion control power to calm the gold... So... Yeah... Emotion Control 9 (Feats: Mind Blank, Subtle) {20PP/24PP}
  20. "So we have angry gold now..." Luke ruffled the hair on the back of his neck again. Things were precipitating fast, the ship was sinking and the mobsters outside were at war. "Great..." He muttered as he heard the gunfire outside. "I can try to... calm it... perhaps?" He winced, he had in fact learned a spell that affected emotions in the past, but in truth he didn't really know if it was gonna work on some gold... Then again if it could feel anger... "Can you try and patch the hull up somehow?" He asked as he closed the distance between himself and the swirling mass of cursed metal. "If this doesn't work I'm gonna try and drag this thing away..." He added, although he was still far from certain about how to do so. His eyes glowed faintly of golden light as he tried to focus his magic on a sense of calm to infuse into the spellbound metal. "Easy now..." He said, as if he was trying to calm an angry beast.
  21. Nightscale will wait for Chimera to reply before I post IC I think. That said he might try to grab the gold and see if he can move it away from the floor of the ship (although catching a fluid might not be super easy hehe).
  22. The trio chatted amiably on the way home, with Ivy flirting playfully with one first and than the other, seemingly content in just teasing the two and sharing very little of herself. Apparently she had just broken up with a boyfriend for which she had no kind words and that, as far as she was concerned was too jealous and clingy, but otherwise, they didn't have much else on her, although to Leon's expert eye it seemed like she has been glancing to rear-view mirror from time to time, giving it a worried look, like if she was worried of seeing someone appearing down the empty road. They had been riding for a while when Natalia's Nacho Nirvana appeared down the road, a family-friendly Mexican joint that despite being a roadside attraction and truck stop was much better kept compared to the dingy bar that the two had visited not long before. At that time of the day there was no other visitor, as the lack of parked vehicles outside revealed, but nonetheless, the staff was friendly and welcoming and their order quickly arrived. They have been talking about sweet nothing, when the two suddenly started to feel drowsy... OOC - Did she succeed in putting the two to sleep or did Leon notice something maybe? Or perhaps he had, but Ivy still had managed to outsmart him? Feel free to expand on the scene\maybe describe the conversation as much as you like
