Bullderdash

Topaz waited while introductions were made. The flying gentleman introduced himself as Dark star. He seemed alright, and did a fiar job confering onto the criminal element the stupidity of their choices. THe other man, after dropping to streetlevel with a thumd, only complained that he had control of the situation. Topaz only sighed, addressing the scruffy looking hero first "Well, if thats the case, Im sorry for steping in. I saw this guy falling and stepped in. If my intervention was unnessicarry, than I apologise." Then, addressing Dark Stars recomendation, I nod "ya, That seems like a fiar idea" Not waiting for any follow up, I feel the sensations down my legs as the crystals which compose my body begin to rapidly expand, forming new facets and edges as they grow outwords, forming a raising pillar with me on top. Taking me up to the hovering car, I toss the criminal inside andslam the door shut "Dont go trying that again" I advise, then return to ground level, my crystl growths retreating back into my body. "Oh, Im Topaz, by the way, nice to meet you both" She commented to both the other hero's flashing a friendly smile.

Only in freedom could something like this happen. In attempting to stop some manner of criminals, not one, but two super pwoered beings had inadvertently ended up trying to stop the same car, each in there own way. Topaz would have laughed had it not been for the fact that while the situation was no longer out of control, it still seemed rather dangerious. Seeking to flee from the super powered captors, one of the men in the car jumped out, taking there chances with terra firma rather than the guys whom were fighting over who had dibs. Reacting fast, Topaz ran out and grabbed the guy before he splatted into the ground. "Its just not your lucky day, is it." I comment, looking up at the two heros and the car they're both holding grip on.

Topaz's crystal volly had no effect, which was the exact opposite of what she had wanted it to do. Clearly, this Rcky guy...monster...creature...thing...was tougher than it looked. Which sucked, because it was pretty tough looking to begin with. And if She kept firing vollys of crystals at it, odds were Topaz would end up hitting the girl before long. She needed to get in there. Summoning her strength, Topaz began rapidly generating and growing crystals out of her legs, building a platform whcih expanded and grew, each facet expanding into dozens of other faces in one gigantic pillar which proppeled her first over the fence and into the side of the building, where it drove dozesn of spines into the structures side for support as it began to grow upwords, far faster than an elevator. The strain left her feeling light headed, yet she shook it off, focuing on the job at hand. It was only as I approached the scene that I noticed some kind og shadowy being was nearby the Gargoyle. I hoped that this shade was on my side, otherwise I might be in trouble.

Freedom may be a great city, but it certainly has more than its share of troubles. While other major population centers have issues with traffic, Freedom gets attacked by guys in tights, giant robots, and space aliens almost three times a week. So when I find the news crews gathered along the middle of the street, staring up at a giant stony monster who's abducted a young girl, my first reaction isnt 'Oh hell, what is that', but rather 'oh look at that, I better do something'. I dont think the monster has taken notice of me yet, it seems to have its attention focused on something or someone on the side of the building. I cant see from my angle. Regardless, I raise my arm, feeling the crystals growing, extending, sharpening into a glistening starburst of spines. I point my arm at the gargoyle, taking care to keep the girl out of the line of fire, and let loose

Hi, Im new here (as you probably gathered from the title of this thread.) And Im looking for people inrested in participating in my first thread here. I already started the thread, and it can be found Here. My thought was that the thread could follow one of two directions, depending on who wanted to join. A) Before reaching the hall, Topaz encounters a crime in progress and steps in, and in the process meets another hero whom arrives at the scene. same as A, except insted of meeting a hero, Topaz battles a villain. As this is my first thread, Im fairly open to any changes in plot or suggestions of where to take this thread. Thanks in advance

My alarm clock buzzes to life, the rythmic beeping equal parts loud and annoying, making it well suited to its task of waking me from my sleep. My eyelids open a crack as I fumble to hit the alarm and silence the clocks insistent reminder that its time to greet the new day. After a few attempts I manage to find the right button and my actions are rewarded with sweet silence. Pushing myself up, I yawn, streaching my limbs and feeling my blood, or whatever fluid I have now in place of blood, retuning life to my body. Rolling out of bed, I hop in the shower, the cool droplets helping to dislodge any lingering drowsyness. I watch as the water and my skin refract and warp the light into a myrid of changing shapes and patterns. Once, I was skin and muscle and bone. Human. But the world turns and things change. Every single cell in my body is now a living, organic crystal. I still dont know what to make of the change. Once I was a police officer, a member of the STAR squad. I was proud to do my part for Freedom, and I was happy with my work. My change was not only physical. I dont belong with STAR any more, as much as I'd like to. I need to move on to bigger things, let a new rookie come up to take my place. Its for the best. Donning a bright blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans that are a size and a half to big for me, I reach for my badge, only to recall Im not an officer anymore. Change is never easy, it'll take some getting used to. I head out of my appartment, walking down the street. I feel the eyes of the people I pass as they appraise me. In the morning light, I shimmer and shine like a disco ball. I do my best to just ignore the looks as I walk, making my way to the center of the city. Its a good three mile walk, and I probably could have gotten a cab, but I prefer to get the exercise. Old habbits I guess. My target is Freedom Hall. When I was with STAR, I worked along side the meta-humans and superpowerd crime fighters. I'd even spoken to a few of them, though only in passing. My old squad captain said that they'd send word to the Freedom league that I'd be coming by. I foguth to protect this city before I had any powers, and I'll fight to protect it now. The earth turns, things change. You either adapt and move on, or get left in the dust. With a screech of rubber on concrete, a car comes zooming down the street, music booming, engine roaring. My instincts kick in, assessing the situation. The car passengers have guns, and based on how fast their going, you'd think they were fleeing a crime scene. My appointment with the freedom league will have to wait. I was handed leamons, so lets see if I can make some leamonaid.

What about the matter of permenent created objects? Do you have to go destroy them, by hand, in order to free up space to make new objects? Or is it going to be a fire and forget thing?
