  6. [2017-03-26 17:05:44] <maxwellelvis> It's-a me!
  7. [2017-03-26 17:11:42] <Zarek_2> So I probably need to take my dog for a walk after this episode of Mystery Inc
  8. [2017-03-26 17:11:50] <maxwellelvis> 'k
  9. [2017-03-26 17:16:13] <Zarek_2> Nevermind, my mom's here and let him out, I'm just gonna grab something to eat and then I'll be ready
  10. [2017-03-26 17:16:24] <maxwellelvis> k
  11. [2017-03-26 17:19:50] <Zarek_2> Back
  12. [2017-03-26 17:23:51] <Duraz> so what's our plan tonight?
  13. [2017-03-26 17:24:10] <maxwellelvis> Beats me.
  14. [2017-03-26 17:26:31] → BeckChon joined (Mibbit@sorcery-0un0jc.fios.verizon.net)
  15. [2017-03-26 17:27:15] <Duraz> hellooooo
  16. [2017-03-26 17:27:55] <BeckChon> hi
  17. [2017-03-26 17:28:58] <Duraz> It's not me today, but I was going to invite you and Zarek to a side session sometime.
  18. [2017-03-26 17:29:23] <BeckChon> cool! what is it?
  19. [2017-03-26 17:30:19] <Wackd> Hey folks
  20. [2017-03-26 17:30:31] <maxwellelvis> Hey wackd
  21. [2017-03-26 17:30:53] <Duraz> Nightshade wanting to see Red after having been gone for a few days, and asking that Maggie come along. Given your history, the news probably isn't good.
  22. [2017-03-26 17:31:06] <Duraz> but that's not tonight
  23. [2017-03-26 17:31:19] <Duraz> I'd probably do it through a google doc for easy record-keeping
  24. [2017-03-26 17:32:15] <BeckChon> Nice~!
  25. [2017-03-26 17:32:47] <Duraz> (this is also contingent on Zarek being down for it)
  26. [2017-03-26 17:33:16] <Zarek_2> It'd depend on scheduling but I am hypothetically onboard
  27. [2017-03-26 17:34:05] <Duraz> given that it's a google doc, scheduling will be pretty easy!
  28. [2017-03-26 17:35:23] <Zarek_2> Also, something we wanted to talk about, Becky -- we were talking about maybe doing with Sunday nights what we already do with Saturday nights, which is alternating games. So, we'd do Masks as per usual one week and then next week one of our myriad other games, and then Masks again the week after.
  29. [2017-03-26 17:35:41] <Zarek_2> We wanted to make sure to run this idea by you since you're only in one of our games so far and it's Masks.
  30. [2017-03-26 17:38:04] <BeckChon> That sounds good
  31. [2017-03-26 17:38:52] <Duraz> that's both of us only-Maskers signing off on the rotation - if we're doing that, then, when do we start
  32. [2017-03-26 17:39:09] <BeckChon> Would it be possible to start the alternating after next week, I'd like my the games to be before a day I DON'T have to be at Ladies DnD the next day
  33. [2017-03-26 17:39:28] <Zarek_2> (Oi, you're in another game mister, don't you forget about Steam Uprising)
  34. [2017-03-26 17:39:28] <maxwellelvis> Oh, excellent.
  35. [2017-03-26 17:40:10] <BeckChon> So, like, we'd do now and next week but then not the week after thus starting that alternations
  36. [2017-03-26 17:40:20] <Zarek_2> I'd be fine with that, personally.
  37. [2017-03-26 17:40:30] <Wackd> Sure
  38. [2017-03-26 17:40:58] <maxwellelvis> Great.
  39. [2017-03-26 17:41:41] <Duraz> sounds fine to me
  40. [2017-03-26 17:41:46] <Bocaj> I'd be game
  41. [2017-03-26 17:41:51] <Zarek_2> Eyy
  42. [2017-03-26 17:41:53] <BeckChon> thank!
  43. [2017-03-26 17:42:12] <Zarek_2> Also for the record I'm basically ready whenever. Sorry to throw the pre-planning stuff up front.
  44. [2017-03-26 17:42:58] <Wackd> Let's do this jam
  45. [2017-03-26 17:44:10] <Bocaj> I do love preserves
  46. [2017-03-26 17:45:52] <BeckChon> I think it's time to blow this scene, get everybody and their stuff together, okay 3 2 1 let's Jam
  47. [2017-03-26 17:46:34] <maxwellelvis> RISIIING! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiPAt8P4-14
  48. [2017-03-26 17:48:39] <Bocaj> WELCOME BACK TRUE BELIEVERS. LAST TIMES, Mel Carrol had been exposed as the Iguana and took a sabbatical but was dragged back in by some left over Strongly Altering Gladiator nonsense and space hunter of bounties, Eirann. Now she faces a brand new day, one more day at a time. In related news, we have been receiving sternly worded cease and desist l
  49. [2017-03-26 17:48:39] <Bocaj> etters from Nintendo again
  50. [2017-03-26 17:50:10] <Bocaj> It may be a brand new day but its not a bright beautiful shining tomorrow. The weather gods and/or natural patterns have declared that there willl be moody rains today, perfect for sitting on top of a thing and angrily glaring at the city.
  51. [2017-03-26 17:51:52] <Bocaj> School has let out about an hour ago. Where everyone at?
  52. [2017-03-26 17:52:01] <Duraz> I still haven't returned, but yesterday I sent Red a selfie with Donny and Bloodbriar, all of us standing atop an unconscious dragon. Agent Peeps is in the background yelling at us to get off so they can load it.
  53. [2017-03-26 17:52:42] <maxwellelvis> Mel is glaring at the city from the inside of the mall skywalk.
  54. [2017-03-26 17:52:45] <Wackd> Endless is on patrol. It took forever to track down a stark white raincoat but she's feeling pretty snazzy about it.
  55. [2017-03-26 17:52:52] <Zarek_2> Training. Always with the training.
  56. [2017-03-26 17:53:12] <Bocaj> I love all these responses
  57. [2017-03-26 17:53:52] <maxwellelvis> (Note: A local mall near me DOES have a skywalk https://www.thesomersetcollection.com/content/uploads/2014/09/6North-Exterior-Skywalk1.jpg so...)
  58. [2017-03-26 17:54:10] <BeckChon> Maggie has been playing Pokemon Go but decided to duck into the mall to finally get out of the rain
  59. [2017-03-26 17:57:49] <maxwellelvis> As Mel reaches the end of the moving sidewalk and heads to the nearby map to remember where they put Hyperspace, she reflects for a moment how weird the past few weeks have been. Like even for her.
  60. [2017-03-26 17:59:13] <maxwellelvis> (Hyperspace in this universe being the name of a nerd haven-type store)
  61. [2017-03-26 18:01:17] <Wackd> (I thought the mall just had casual space travel but this probably works better)
  62. [2017-03-26 18:01:41] <maxwellelvis> Looking down on the floor below, she can swear she sees a familiar head of flaming hair heading towards the fountain.
  63. [2017-03-26 18:01:44] <Bocaj> Speaking of weird, you happen to spot a winged figure clumsily fly past in the sky above the mall and disappear onto the roof.
  64. [2017-03-26 18:01:48] <Bocaj> Maggie may also have seen this
  65. [2017-03-26 18:02:07] <Bocaj> And those looks could happen in any order what make sense
  66. [2017-03-26 18:03:07] <maxwellelvis> "That's odd," Mel thinks to herself. "Wonder where that flew in from."
  67. [2017-03-26 18:03:44] <BeckChon> Maggie takes a moment to consider that it might be an real Mantine but then realizes that that's probably ridiculous
  68. [2017-03-26 18:04:23] <BeckChon> they'd like being out in the rain
  69. [2017-03-26 18:04:23] <maxwellelvis> (Appropriate music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEPS8TbE5fY )
  70. [2017-03-26 18:07:01] <BeckChon> Maggie's curiosity to what it might be has now peaked and she follows the direction she saw it go.
  71. [2017-03-26 18:07:19] <Wackd> Endless can see the figure from where she is, a few blocks away, and heads over to the mall to investigate.
  72. [2017-03-26 18:08:35] <maxwellelvis> Mel sees the figure down below change direction and now she's DEFINITELY sure.
  73. [2017-03-26 18:09:50] <Duraz> Birkita is in the food court with a sleeping mask over her eyes, drinking an extra large shake. She's currently dead to the world, but will be easy to encounter if you have to get anywhere in the mall.
  74. [2017-03-26 18:10:53] <maxwellelvis> Heading to the escalator, Mel tries to discretely contact Maggie over communicators.
  75. [2017-03-26 18:12:01] <Bocaj> Is Maggie walking or flying?
  76. [2017-03-26 18:12:16] <BeckChon> Walking
  77. [2017-03-26 18:12:29] <BeckChon> Trying to find roof access
  78. [2017-03-26 18:12:46] <Bocaj> Ahh.
  79. [2017-03-26 18:13:28] <Bocaj> So you find a roof access that says "Absolutely No Trespassing." Someone has taped up a sign under that that says "Unless its, like, important superhero business or something winky smile"
  80. [2017-03-26 18:13:32] <Bocaj> The second sign was hand written
  81. [2017-03-26 18:14:18] <maxwellelvis> "Starchild, you there?"
  82. [2017-03-26 18:15:29] <BeckChon> "Hmm? Oh hey, yeah. At the mall. Saw a thing that might be investigation worthy."
  83. [2017-03-26 18:15:59] <maxwellelvis> "Same here. Where'd you get off to? Lost you in the crowd."
  84. [2017-03-26 18:16:33] <BeckChon> "Found the staircase to the roof."
  85. [2017-03-26 18:16:59] <maxwellelvis> "From the ground floor?"
  86. [2017-03-26 18:18:12] <BeckChon> "Hmm? No I'm at the top floor."
  87. [2017-03-26 18:18:45] <maxwellelvis> "Damn, you move fast, Maggs."
  88. [2017-03-26 18:18:59] <BeckChon> "Wait....how DID I get to the top floor?"
  89. [2017-03-26 18:19:15] <maxwellelvis> "Anyways, I'll try to find an access point, keep me posted if you figure that out or need backup."
  90. [2017-03-26 18:19:33] <BeckChon> "Roger dodger."
  91. [2017-03-26 18:19:48] <maxwellelvis> "Iguana out."
  92. [2017-03-26 18:20:29] <BeckChon> While wondering how she got to the top floor from the bottom just a couple minutes ago she heads up the stairs to the roof.
  93. [2017-03-26 18:21:37] <maxwellelvis> Mel makes her way to the food court; no sense fretting about this on an empty stomach.
  94. [2017-03-26 18:22:36] <BeckChon> (yes, good, feed the belly)
  95. [2017-03-26 18:23:25] <Bocaj> So Maggie when you arrive on the roof you see a bedraggled, miserable looking figure huddled out of the rain under an overhang of some sort.
  96. [2017-03-26 18:25:24] <BeckChon> Maggie feels bad for the figure, wondering why they're so miserable. She cautiously approaches and slowly speaks up as not to startle them, "Um, hello? Are...you all right?"
  97. [2017-03-26 18:29:46] <Bocaj> They look up at the sign of your voice and you have a brief impression of feathery hair and a half beaked face before familiar eyes widen in shocked horror. The figure shrieks and takes off like an arrow into the rainy skies
  98. [2017-03-26 18:30:14] <Bocaj> *sound. sound of your voice
  99. [2017-03-26 18:32:17] <BeckChon> Maggie gets startles back by the eyes and the sudden sound and movement.
  100. [2017-03-26 18:32:37] <Duraz> (familiar?)
  101. [2017-03-26 18:33:22] <Bocaj> (as in 'rings a bell' not as in 'huh must be a witch or whatever nearby')
  102. [2017-03-26 18:34:04] <Duraz> (no, I get that - just curious about what's familiar about them. Guess we'll see!)
  103. [2017-03-26 18:34:26] <Bocaj> (The eyes)
  104. [2017-03-26 18:34:40] <Bocaj> (Sorry, that was being intentionally obtuse)
  105. [2017-03-26 18:35:36] <Duraz> (ANYway) I'm 2/3 of the way through my shake. Humans might not know how to make liquor, but they make FLAWLESS hangover food.
  106. [2017-03-26 18:36:21] <BeckChon> Maggie stands there for a while, trying to think about why those eyes were so familiar, before contacting Mel on the communicator.
  107. [2017-03-26 18:36:51] <BeckChon> "Hey, uh....I think we might have something. ....I'm not sure."
  108. [2017-03-26 18:37:29] <maxwellelvis> Mel has just received a burger from Burger Overlord Express (All Hail the Overlord! All Hail the Overlord!) when her communicator chirps to life.
  109. [2017-03-26 18:38:52] <maxwellelvis> "You do? Go on."
  110. [2017-03-26 18:39:50] <BeckChon> "Well, um..... Bird Person."
  111. [2017-03-26 18:40:17] <Duraz> (We knew this day would come.)
  112. [2017-03-26 18:40:26] <Bocaj> At a kind of dramatically appropriate move which is a privilege allowed to me, the figure crashes into the skylight
  113. [2017-03-26 18:40:40] <Bocaj> (I think I'm owed some kudos for my restraint in waiting so long)
  114. [2017-03-26 18:40:44] <Duraz> Food court skylight?
  115. [2017-03-26 18:40:50] <Duraz> (Granted)
  116. [2017-03-26 18:40:53] <Bocaj> (Yes)
  117. [2017-03-26 18:40:57] <maxwellelvis> (Like yours doesn't have one?)
  118. [2017-03-26 18:41:21] <maxwellelvis> (Into or through?)
  119. [2017-03-26 18:41:53] <Bocaj> Into. Big ol' thump
  120. [2017-03-26 18:41:58] <maxwellelvis> Ah.
  121. [2017-03-26 18:42:09] <BeckChon> (brb one sec)
  122. [2017-03-26 18:42:11] <maxwellelvis> Mel looks up. "Looks like they almost found me."
  123. [2017-03-26 18:42:28] <Duraz> I lift my mask and tilt my head back, wincing at the light.
  124. [2017-03-26 18:44:47] <BeckChon> (back)
  125. [2017-03-26 18:45:09] <Bocaj> As the figure scrambles to find bird footing on the rain slicked skylight you see that they are wearing torn clothes. They have golden red feathers down their back and gray ones down their front. And though they have a human face with human eyes, they have a half beak where a hooman nose would be.
  126. [2017-03-26 18:45:59] <Bocaj> Also because of the thud, pretty much everyone in the food court is now looking and pointing and shouting things and taking blurry smartphone pictures
  127. [2017-03-26 18:46:23] <maxwellelvis> Mel finds where Birkita is sitting, and puts her food on the side directly opposite Birkita's.
  128. [2017-03-26 18:46:47] <Duraz> without looking, or even thinking about it, I take one of her frie
  129. [2017-03-26 18:46:49] <Duraz> s
  130. [2017-03-26 18:46:59] <Bocaj> The birdish figure manages to take off again into the rain
  131. [2017-03-26 18:47:04] <Wackd> Endless finally shows up at the mall.
  132. [2017-03-26 18:47:05] <maxwellelvis> "Oh you're good."
  133. [2017-03-26 18:47:33] <Duraz> "Huh? Oh. Hello." -crunch crunch- "Do you know what that was?"
  134. [2017-03-26 18:47:49] <maxwellelvis> "Some sort of bird person."
  135. [2017-03-26 18:48:06] <maxwellelvis> "Kinda looked like they were mutating."
  136. [2017-03-26 18:48:37] <Duraz> I stand and stretch expansively. "Like the rabbits Maggie told me about?"
  137. [2017-03-26 18:48:44] <Bocaj> ("Y'know, the ushe")
  138. [2017-03-26 18:49:27] <Wackd> Endless makes her way to the food court. "Oh, good, you're already here. I feel a bit bad about taking interest just because they're a bird-person, but the erratic flight pattern makes me think maybe there's a problem."
  139. [2017-03-26 18:49:30] <maxwellelvis> "Pfft. Oh, she told you about that? God I wish I could have been there to see it."
  140. [2017-03-26 18:49:39] <maxwellelvis> "GAH!"
  141. [2017-03-26 18:50:02] <Duraz> "Great Danu, that costume... when you have a hangover..."
  142. [2017-03-26 18:50:39] <maxwellelvis> "Looked like they were having trouble flying. Must have only grown wings recently."
  143. [2017-03-26 18:50:43] <Wackd> "Yeah, it helps. You'd be surprised how many ordinary criminals have drug dependency problems."
  144. [2017-03-26 18:51:00] <Duraz> I look annoyed, then thoughtful.
  145. [2017-03-26 18:51:21] <Duraz> Then I just don my shades.
  146. [2017-03-26 18:51:29] <Duraz> "I assume we're going to meddle."
  147. [2017-03-26 18:52:12] <Wackd> "Oh, absolutely."
  148. [2017-03-26 18:52:54] <maxwellelvis> "*through a mouth full of food* Just as soon as I finish this."
  149. [2017-03-26 18:53:09] <Bocaj> ("I assume we're going to meddle" may as well be the Unwelcome's catchphrase)
  150. [2017-03-26 18:54:01] <Duraz> "I'm a caring teammate. I'll help." -more fries-
  151. [2017-03-26 18:56:29] <maxwellelvis> "You want anything, Endless?"
  152. [2017-03-26 18:56:45] <Wackd> "I'm fine. Had a granola before I left the house."
  153. [2017-03-26 18:57:03] <Zarek_2> (I've been waiting to see if anybody would call Red but I just got paranoid there was a mass communicator call and I just missed it like an idiot and I'm in an awkward sitch here)
  154. [2017-03-26 18:57:16] <maxwellelvis> "Okay. If you say so." As she shoves another bite in.
  155. [2017-03-26 18:57:25] <maxwellelvis> "Think we should tell Sam?"
  156. [2017-03-26 18:58:16] <Wackd> "Sure. Hopefully she's not too busy with training."
  157. [2017-03-26 18:58:44] <Bocaj> And what kind of busy training is Sam up to?
  158. [2017-03-26 18:58:52] <Duraz> I have already sent her a picture of Mel hurriedly eating with the caption, "Saw bird monster. Would love to see you."
  159. [2017-03-26 19:01:28] <Zarek_2> Sam is probably trying and failing some slightly higher-level spell like Invisibility when she gets the text, which spooks her into accidentally turning herself green.
  160. [2017-03-26 19:02:24] <Bocaj> Green Flag
  161. [2017-03-26 19:02:41] <Zarek_2> She checks her phone, looks concerned, and then explains to Nightshade she might be needed elsewhere but she'll be back ASAP.

  165. [2017-03-26 19:03:32] <Bocaj> "Are you going looking like that?"
  166. [2017-03-26 19:03:46] <Zarek_2> (We had the same thought)

  176. [2017-03-26 19:16:04] <maxwellelvis> "Maggie's up on the roof."
  177. [2017-03-26 19:19:15] <Wackd> "I suppose we follow her lead."
  178. [2017-03-26 19:19:45] <maxwellelvis> "Good point."
  179. [2017-03-26 19:20:01] <maxwellelvis> Mel radios Maggie. "You see where that bird went off to?"
  180. [2017-03-26 19:20:04] <BeckChon> (Hey Just got word that dinner's on the table)
  181. [2017-03-26 19:20:15] <maxwellelvis> (Ok)
  182. [2017-03-26 19:20:38] <BeckChon> (be back in 30, 45 at latest)

  187. [2017-03-26 19:41:09] <Bocaj> (Did I miss anything that was not talking about going on dinner break?)
  188. [2017-03-26 19:41:18] <Duraz> (nope)
  189. [2017-03-26 19:58:39] <BeckChon> (back)
  190. [2017-03-26 19:59:06] <BeckChon> Did I see where that bird went off to?
  191. [2017-03-26 20:02:12] <Bocaj> You saw the direction
  192. [2017-03-26 20:02:38] <Bocaj> They went the opposite of downtown
  193. [2017-03-26 20:04:17] <BeckChon> (uptown?)
  194. [2017-03-26 20:04:36] <Duraz> (suburbia?)
  195. [2017-03-26 20:05:22] <BeckChon> (I'm gonna say North)
  196. [2017-03-26 20:05:36] <Bocaj> (K)
  197. [2017-03-26 20:07:01] <BeckChon> "Caught a glimpse, headed North." Maggie replies.
  198. [2017-03-26 20:07:25] <maxwellelvis> "North. Got it."
  199. [2017-03-26 20:08:02] <maxwellelvis> "They're going north." She says to the others.
  200. [2017-03-26 20:08:17] <maxwellelvis> "You try and follow her. We'll catch up."
  201. [2017-03-26 20:08:41] <BeckChon> Maggie hums a yes.
  202. [2017-03-26 20:08:48] <Duraz> "Maybe we should use Sophie's ship."
  203. [2017-03-26 20:09:09] <maxwellelvis> "Good idea. My car's on the other side of the skywalk anyways."
  204. [2017-03-26 20:09:28] <BeckChon> She starts heading in that direction, scanning the skies to find them.
  205. [2017-03-26 20:09:40] <Wackd> (It's not Sophie's--should I even bother objecting at this point)
  206. [2017-03-26 20:09:53] <maxwellelvis> (She's the one who can fly it)
  207. [2017-03-26 20:09:59] <Wackd> (Yeah okay fine)
  208. [2017-03-26 20:10:24] <Duraz> (For reference, this is Birkita's misconception, not mine.)
  209. [2017-03-26 20:10:36] <Duraz> (She never met Leo.)
  210. [2017-03-26 20:11:08] <maxwellelvis> Mel then contacts Sophie.
  211. [2017-03-26 20:11:25] <Wackd> "Hey, what's up?"
  212. [2017-03-26 20:11:32] <Duraz> (Maybe I should have had her think it was Red's.)
  213. [2017-03-26 20:11:48] <Wackd> (It's not the misconception I have an issue with but. Again. Whatever.)
  214. [2017-03-26 20:12:29] <Duraz> (Later, let's sort that out. Maybe she won't want to keep using it.)
  215. [2017-03-26 20:12:38] <Wackd> (I've been fighting giving Sophie superpowers or alien stuff or whatever the hell else since I started playing her and I've repeatedly said I like the idea of her being a civilian character and I tried to meet you guys halfway with her being mission control buy fine, I give up, she's got a spaceship now, she's the spaceship person)
  216. [2017-03-26 20:13:07] <Duraz> (Seriously, we can drop that.)
  217. [2017-03-26 20:13:37] <Wackd> (I'd appreciate it)
  218. [2017-03-26 20:13:39] <Duraz> (It was my idea, and it seems it's a bad one, and sooner or later, I'd like to retract it.)
  219. [2017-03-26 20:14:01] <maxwellelvis> "We're tracking some kind of bird mutant that scared the hell out of the mall. Maggie's already looking for them but we need a ride. Is Leo's ship fixed yet?"
  220. [2017-03-26 20:14:25] <Wackd> "I honestly have no idea. I'm kinda nervous to check. That thing weirds me out."
  221. [2017-03-26 20:14:33] <maxwellelvis> *See Tales of the Iguana issue 30
  222. [2017-03-26 20:15:22] <maxwellelvis> "Don't worry. This doesn't seem to be any kind of emergency, I don't think we'll need the Gaze for this."
  223. [2017-03-26 20:15:47] <Duraz> "Rooftops, then."
  224. [2017-03-26 20:15:52] <Wackd> "Alright, cool. Later."
  225. [2017-03-26 20:16:00] <Wackd> "Rooftops it is," Endless says.
  226. [2017-03-26 20:17:00] <maxwellelvis> "If we go north I think we might run out of tall buildings. I'll take the car."
  227. [2017-03-26 20:18:01] <Duraz> "Sensi-urp-ible."
  228. [2017-03-26 20:18:01] <maxwellelvis> (Wackd: I mean, Sophie's like half my creation even if you play her)
  229. [2017-03-26 20:18:24] <Duraz> (We can sort out Sophie and the consequences of my meddling after.)
  230. [2017-03-26 20:18:43] <Wackd> (Yes but letting me play her implies a degree of creative control? If you didn't like what I was doing it with you could just ask for her back)
  231. [2017-03-26 20:19:17] <maxwellelvis> (It'd feel, I don't know, weird-ish?)
  232. [2017-03-26 20:19:25] <maxwellelvis> (But I'll hash it out later)
  233. [2017-03-26 20:22:16] <Duraz> Birkita does only moderate damage to the mall's brickwork on her way to the roof.
  234. [2017-03-26 20:22:50] <maxwellelvis> (Also Mel has no way of grappling or elven grace, so...)
  235. [2017-03-26 20:23:34] <Duraz> (I thought you could wall climb)
  236. [2017-03-26 20:24:11] <maxwellelvis> (Yeah but if going north takes you away from where tall buildings are really close...)
  237. [2017-03-26 20:25:03] <Duraz> (excellent point)
  238. [2017-03-26 20:25:23] <maxwellelvis> As Mel runs through the skywalk to the other side of the mall, she transforms along the way. It's like a one long panel of the skywalk with green flashes across it in collage.
  239. [2017-03-26 20:26:37] <Wackd> Endless just sprints.
  240. [2017-03-26 20:32:03] <Duraz> So we're chasing in Maggie's wake?
  241. [2017-03-26 20:32:37] <Wackd> Yep.
  242. [2017-03-26 20:34:30] <maxwellelvis> At some point one of us should let Red know where we're going.
  243. [2017-03-26 20:35:06] <Wackd> Endless takes care of it.
  244. [2017-03-26 20:36:55] <Bocaj> Maggie, you're a bit ahead of them, what with the flying. With your cosmic eyes, you see the bird person sitting on one of Halcyon City's few gothic gargoyles
  245. [2017-03-26 20:40:42] <BeckChon> I land on a building, hiding out of sight. The bird person was obviously scared of her, she didn't want them to fly off again.
  246. [2017-03-26 20:41:46] <BeckChon> She radios the rest of the team "Hey, got sight of 'em. They're perched on one a those Gargoyles."
  247. [2017-03-26 20:42:17] <Bocaj> Okay. They didn't see you so they're still perched on gothic gargoyle 7/21
  248. [2017-03-26 20:43:56] <Duraz> "A - a gargoyle? Isn't that dangerous?"
  249. [2017-03-26 20:44:10] <Wackd> "It's a statue. Usually.""
  250. [2017-03-26 20:44:34] <maxwellelvis> "Yeah. Can't speak for your world, but here gargoyles are just fancy waterspouts."
  251. [2017-03-26 20:44:48] <Duraz> "Of course. Ahem."
  252. [2017-03-26 20:49:04] <maxwellelvis> "Okay, try not to scare them, Maggs."
  253. [2017-03-26 20:49:53] <BeckChon> "'s why I'm out of sight."
  254. [2017-03-26 20:50:19] <Duraz> If I can creep up next to Maggie, I do.
  255. [2017-03-26 20:51:01] <Bocaj> Roll a superior to be SUBTLE
  256. [2017-03-26 20:51:15] <Duraz> ah, alright
  257. [2017-03-26 20:51:37] <Duraz> 7
  258. [2017-03-26 20:52:24] <Bocaj> So that would be a partial success.
  259. [2017-03-26 20:52:50] <Duraz> my top priority, of course, is not startling the birb
  260. [2017-03-26 20:53:03] <Duraz> I'll give up any other aspect of this maneuver
  261. [2017-03-26 20:53:05] <Bocaj> So I guess Bird Person doesn't see you but is now suspicious
  262. [2017-03-26 20:53:10] <Bocaj> Ok
  263. [2017-03-26 20:53:41] <Bocaj> So. It takes you a while. But you get up to Maggie without alerting the birb
  264. [2017-03-26 20:54:02] <BeckChon> "Hey Birkita." Maggie says quitely without turning around
  265. [2017-03-26 20:54:42] <Duraz> "Sad excuse for a gargoyle," I murmur, sliding in next to her. "There's not even any fire. Do you recognize this creature?"
  266. [2017-03-26 20:56:08] <Bocaj> Now that you're closer you can see that 'this creature' is trying to cry into hands that they don't have. So just kind of awkwardly poking themselves in the face with their wing joint
  267. [2017-03-26 20:56:24] <BeckChon> "They're mostly decoration or for scaring off birds." Maggie whispers. "I'm...not sure. They seem to recognize me though."
  268. [2017-03-26 20:58:28] <Duraz> "Looks almost elfin. Or human, I suppose."
  269. [2017-03-26 21:00:26] <BeckChon> "They look sad...and scared." Maggie says frowning
  270. [2017-03-26 21:01:53] <Duraz> "So violence is out... that leaves me at a loss."
  271. [2017-03-26 21:02:10] <Wackd> "Can you communicate with them?"
  272. [2017-03-26 21:02:26] <Duraz> (brb)
  273. [2017-03-26 21:05:19] <BeckChon> "Last time I did that they flew away, and not from being startled."
  274. [2017-03-26 21:05:37] <Duraz> (back)
  275. [2017-03-26 21:05:58] <Duraz> "Do you think this has anything to do with your parents?"
  276. [2017-03-26 21:06:45] <BeckChon> "What why would it?!" Maggie says flusteringly
  277. [2017-03-26 21:08:11] <Duraz> "I - " Birkita is startled, and I imagine our perch isn't very big, but she recoils as much as she can. "I don't know. Mad science. Nature powers. Someone who's scared of you."
  278. [2017-03-26 21:09:56] <BeckChon> "My dad deals in robots I'll have you know, and having elemental powers doesn't mean you can talk to animals or make something into an animal."
  279. [2017-03-26 21:10:36] <Duraz> "Alright, alright. Okay."
  280. [2017-03-26 21:11:03] <Zarek_2> (I am not away, how dare)
  281. [2017-03-26 21:11:32] <maxwellelvis> (Cuz you've gone a VERY long time without speaking)
  282. [2017-03-26 21:11:50] <Zarek_2> (Yes I know)
  283. [2017-03-26 21:13:19] <BeckChon> Cheeks still heated she turns her head back to the bird person. "Look, I don't. But all this means is that *I* can't be the one to approach them." she says in the whispering conversation.
  284. [2017-03-26 21:16:02] <Duraz> "I'm not much better. None of us are, really. Maybe the Iguana, despite her gruesome mask. Do you think we'll have to... catch them?"
  285. [2017-03-26 21:16:26] <Duraz> (Iguana's mask isn't really gruesome, but it can be menacing if you're already scared.)
  286. [2017-03-26 21:16:53] <Duraz> (Also, look at Birkita discounting Endless's diplomacy chops.)
  287. [2017-03-26 21:19:51] <BeckChon> "What? no. We're trying NOT to scare them."
  288. [2017-03-26 21:20:04] <BeckChon> "How close are you guys?" she says over the comm
  289. [2017-03-26 21:20:15] <Wackd> "Block away. Maybe two."
  290. [2017-03-26 21:20:32] <Zarek_2> (How close am I?)
  291. [2017-03-26 21:20:34] <maxwellelvis> "Not too far behind. I can see Endless when she jumps."
  292. [2017-03-26 21:21:09] <Zarek_2> (Bocaj that was directed at if that wasn't clear)
  293. [2017-03-26 21:21:21] <Duraz> (Is this a situation where you can just declare where you are?)
  294. [2017-03-26 21:21:37] <BeckChon> "Right, try and hurry. I don't think either of us are qualified for this with the current situation."
  295. [2017-03-26 21:22:16] <Bocaj> (Well you were on a motorcycle and everyone else is on foot so if you want to be catching up thats fine)
  296. [2017-03-26 21:22:49] <Zarek_2> "Should be there soon enough."
  297. [2017-03-26 21:28:07] <Zarek_2> (So. Are we skipping to when folks show up? Or?)
  298. [2017-03-26 21:30:21] <BeckChon> (I think so yeah)
  299. [2017-03-26 21:30:23] <maxwellelvis> (bocaj?)
  300. [2017-03-26 21:30:26] <BeckChon> (brb)
  301. [2017-03-26 21:30:51] <Bocaj> (Yes we can have people show up at the place)
  302. [2017-03-26 21:34:14] <BeckChon> (back)
  303. [2017-03-26 21:36:12] <Zarek_2> (So we're all on the roof?)
  304. [2017-03-26 21:39:22] <Bocaj> Geez if you think you can all hide up there
  305. [2017-03-26 21:39:55] <Zarek_2> (Look I'm just not clear on what we're doing or how this scene is set)
  306. [2017-03-26 21:40:33] <Bocaj> So there's a bird sobbing on a gargoyle and on a not very big perch Maggie and Birkita are watching the bird.
  307. [2017-03-26 21:41:00] <Zarek_2> Also I can't tell if you were being sarcastic, IS there something stopping us from all hiding up there?
  308. [2017-03-26 21:41:44] <Bocaj> It would be hard to fit all five of you on the same part of the ledge
  309. [2017-03-26 21:42:28] <BeckChon> I thought Endless would have gotten there first.
  310. [2017-03-26 21:42:36] <Duraz> We might array everyone around the gargoyle?
  311. [2017-03-26 21:42:43] <Duraz> spread out, like?
  312. [2017-03-26 21:44:41] <maxwellelvis> That works
  313. [2017-03-26 21:44:53] <Zarek_2> (Max you're not the GM)
  314. [2017-03-26 21:45:03] <Bocaj> Probably could get all of you on the roof overlooking the gargoyle and that would be okay since I'm assuming the gargoyle is on a lower ledge than the roof
  315. [2017-03-26 21:45:38] <Duraz> (that wouldn't necessarily be a GM thing - I was suggesting it as an in-character action)
  316. [2017-03-26 21:47:53] <Wackd> (I'm okay being wherever)
  317. [2017-03-26 21:48:16] <maxwellelvis> (Same)
  318. [2017-03-26 21:48:24] <Zarek_2> I think when Red gets there and looks over she immediately pulls her head back up and stares into the middle distance for a second, trying to calm herself down. Then she tries to quietly say to the others "So...we don't really deal with this kinda thing a lot, I don't really know what our protocol is here."
  319. [2017-03-26 21:48:26] <Bocaj> Anyway, you're all on location. The bird has not yet noticed y'allses. They have stopped crying and are just sort of sitting on the gargoyle legs dangling off. Y'allses can discuss what to do as long as you don't yell
  320. [2017-03-26 21:50:34] <Duraz> "Who here feels best equipped for gentleness?"
  321. [2017-03-26 21:50:56] <maxwellelvis> "I wouldn't say EQUIPPED but..."
  322. [2017-03-26 21:51:04] <Zarek_2> Red looks at her feet.
  323. [2017-03-26 21:52:43] <maxwellelvis> Iguana creeps down and tries to get close without alerting the bird person.
  324. [2017-03-26 21:54:02] <Duraz> Birkita watches, covering her mouth tensely.
  325. [2017-03-26 21:54:57] <Bocaj> Roll a superior with that creepin'
  326. [2017-03-26 21:55:19] <maxwellelvis> (5)
  327. [2017-03-26 21:55:28] <maxwellelvis> (Well, at least I got a level-up)
  328. [2017-03-26 21:55:39] <Bocaj> (Woo)
  329. [2017-03-26 21:56:49] <Bocaj> While straight up creepin' your foot slips on the rained slicked precipice of ledge and you swear as you have to quickly steady yourself. But the bird person has heard you and is alerted.
  330. [2017-03-26 21:57:08] <maxwellelvis> "Shit!"
  331. [2017-03-26 21:57:20] <Bocaj> They tense to flee but upon seeing you they pause in recognition
  332. [2017-03-26 21:58:01] <maxwellelvis> Iguana also pauses.
  333. [2017-03-26 21:58:07] <Bocaj> "The Iguana? A-are you really Mel Carrol from- Are the rumors true?"
  334. [2017-03-26 21:58:43] <maxwellelvis> Iguana takes her helmet off. "Yep. 'Fraid so."
  335. [2017-03-26 22:01:00] <Bocaj> The bird person laughs bitterly. This close and with this much not flying away, they look female. "I'm running into all sorts today..."
  336. [2017-03-26 22:01:44] <maxwellelvis> "So, uh... what brings you uptown?"
  337. [2017-03-26 22:02:44] <Bocaj> "Oh. You know. Just thought -sniff- I'd get away from the crowds."
  338. [2017-03-26 22:04:10] <maxwellelvis> "I can imagine."
  339. [2017-03-26 22:07:02] <maxwellelvis> "You, uh... you got a name?"
  340. [2017-03-26 22:08:18] <Bocaj> "I'm- ... You can call me Robin." You get the feeling they were about to say something else before stopping theirself.
  341. [2017-03-26 22:09:17] <maxwellelvis> "That's a nice name. So, Robin, mind if we get down from here?"
  342. [2017-03-26 22:10:57] <Bocaj> "I'm- I'm good up here. People looking up will just think I'm another gargoyle"
  343. [2017-03-26 22:12:21] <Duraz> I'm waving with both arms from below. A general "how's it coming should we do anything what's going on" kind of thing
  344. [2017-03-26 22:12:26] <maxwellelvis> "You can't live up here. There's no shelter."
  345. [2017-03-26 22:12:46] <maxwellelvis> Mel throws an "Ehh" sign back.
  346. [2017-03-26 22:13:53] <Duraz> (brb again)
  347. [2017-03-26 22:14:25] <maxwellelvis> "And don't take this the wrong way, but you don't seem too used to flying yet."
  348. [2017-03-26 22:15:15] <Bocaj> Robin has nothing to say to that.
  349. [2017-03-26 22:16:04] <Bocaj> At this point, I want us to do a thing we don't often do and roll a Comfort/Support +Mundane and try to convince again
  350. [2017-03-26 22:16:35] <maxwellelvis> (I hope someone's got more than a 0 in Mundane)
  351. [2017-03-26 22:17:06] <Bocaj> Well you're the one on the ledge
  352. [2017-03-26 22:17:48] <maxwellelvis> (Oh wait I have a 1 in Mundane)
  353. [2017-03-26 22:18:05] <maxwellelvis> (So I will try to Comfort or Support Robin)
  354. [2017-03-26 22:18:21] <Duraz> (back)
  355. [2017-03-26 22:18:53] <Bocaj> (yes)(wb)
  356. [2017-03-26 22:21:34] <maxwellelvis> "You look like you need someone to listen to you. Like me. You aren't alone, you don't have to face this alone."
  357. [2017-03-26 22:21:55] <maxwellelvis> (MOTHERFUCKER)
  358. [2017-03-26 22:21:58] <maxwellelvis> (4)
  359. [2017-03-26 22:22:55] <Bocaj> (Another potential at least)
  360. [2017-03-26 22:23:05] <maxwellelvis> (Yes(
  361. [2017-03-26 22:23:14] <maxwellelvis> That is true))
  362. [2017-03-26 22:24:36] <Bocaj> "I- No! I don't want anyone to recognize me like this!"
  363. [2017-03-26 22:24:53] <Bocaj> Robin jumps off the gargoyle and takes flight away from the building
  364. [2017-03-26 22:25:28] <maxwellelvis> "ROBIN! WAIT!"
  365. [2017-03-26 22:25:41] <maxwellelvis> "Damnit!"
  366. [2017-03-26 22:26:21] <BeckChon> Maggie goes out to Mel after Robin leaves
  367. [2017-03-26 22:26:49] <Duraz> "Can you teleport her? Or me? Or - I don't know how your powers work!"
  368. [2017-03-26 22:28:15] <maxwellelvis> "I was THIS close to her."
  369. [2017-03-26 22:28:25] <BeckChon> "Teleport you where? She's miles up in the sky. And...I don't feel comfortable *making* her come back here."
  370. [2017-03-26 22:28:47] <Duraz> Birkita sputters and fumes
  371. [2017-03-26 22:30:06] <BeckChon> "She's not a bad guy to stop she's someone who needs our help. Forcing her back to us will only scare her more."
  372. [2017-03-26 22:31:02] <Duraz> "Well, sometimes I think we should be more willing to..." I glance to Endless and fall silent.
  373. [2017-03-26 22:31:33] <maxwellelvis> "To what, exactly?!"
  374. [2017-03-26 22:33:52] <Duraz> "I don't want to hurt them - her? -, obviously! But if we just let her flap away, what if... what if it's a HALBERD agent who sees her next, or Blood Letter?"
  375. [2017-03-26 22:34:59] <Wackd> Endless shrugs. "You could ask the same thing of everyone strange in this city. We don't have the manpower to be bodyguards for all of them. And if she doesn't want our help, well. Not sure what options we're left with."
  376. [2017-03-26 22:35:13] <Duraz> -long angry exhale-
  377. [2017-03-26 22:35:17] <Duraz> -subside-
  378. [2017-03-26 22:36:23] <BeckChon> Maggie is filled with nervous energy, ciritical thinking rushes through her head through her head. "She definitely responded well to you Mel." Maggie says
  379. [2017-03-26 22:36:40] <Zarek_2> "Birkita has...a point. She's clearly in some amount of trouble, we can't just leave her alone. I don't suggest we stalk her, but...maybe we patrol the surrounding area? Not for her specifically, but just in case anything happens."
  380. [2017-03-26 22:37:50] <Wackd> "Sounds like a plan."
  381. [2017-03-26 22:37:50] <BeckChon> "She can't have gotten far." She holds out her hands to Mel, "Grab on. We'll be going pretty fast."
  382. [2017-03-26 22:38:10] <maxwellelvis> "Okay..."
  383. [2017-03-26 22:38:14] <maxwellelvis> Mel puts her helmet on.
  384. [2017-03-26 22:38:26] <maxwellelvis> And grips Maggie as hard as she can.
  385. [2017-03-26 22:38:58] <Duraz> Birkita lets her umbra out and picks a direction.
  386. [2017-03-26 22:40:19] <BeckChon> "Hopefully we'll see you guys after we're successful." Once Mel is secure she jumps then pushes of the building to propel them, in the direction Robin went.
  387. [2017-03-26 22:43:03] <BeckChon> (brb)
  388. [2017-03-26 22:45:30] <BeckChon> (back)
  389. [2017-03-26 22:46:11] <Zarek_2> "I get the feeling they weren't super closely paying attention to the plan."
  390. [2017-03-26 22:47:42] <Bocaj> Okay, so Maggie/Mel are headed in Robin's last known vector. BIrkita is going a direction. What is everyone else gonna do?
  391. [2017-03-26 22:48:56] <Zarek_2> Gonna stick to the plan. Pick a direction Birkita didn't go in and watch the skies, pay attention to possible explosion noises or whatever sound Maggie makes when she teleports
  392. [2017-03-26 22:49:06] <Wackd> Likewise.,
  393. [2017-03-26 22:55:30] <Bocaj> So because you're going pretty fast Maggie/Mel, you soon have Robin at the far reaches of your eyeshot. She is barreling ahead, not looking behind. How do you want to approach this?
  394. [2017-03-26 22:56:40] <maxwellelvis> "How would you handle this, Starchild?"
  395. [2017-03-26 22:57:53] <BeckChon> "Honestly, I thought we'd shout out to her and get her attention but I'm just realizing that that would probably scare her."
  396. [2017-03-26 22:58:37] <maxwellelvis> "I'm gonna be honest, I don't think there's a lot we could do that wouldn't scare her at this point."
  397. [2017-03-26 22:59:06] <BeckChon> "Right."
  398. [2017-03-26 22:59:31] <BeckChon> "What did she say her name was?"
  399. [2017-03-26 22:59:45] <maxwellelvis> "She didn't. She just said to call her Robin."
  400. [2017-03-26 22:59:57] <maxwellelvis> "But she knew who I was."
  401. [2017-03-26 23:00:25] <BeckChon> "She seemed to know me too."
  402. [2017-03-26 23:00:57] <maxwellelvis> "I swear I know her too, but it's hard to place her with that literal beak and the feathers."
  403. [2017-03-26 23:01:44] <BeckChon> "Let's fly up to the side of her but keep a decent distance so she doesn't feel trapped."
  404. [2017-03-26 23:02:55] <maxwellelvis> "That's probably a good idea."
  405. [2017-03-26 23:03:20] <BeckChon> Maggie then does so.
  406. [2017-03-26 23:04:39] <BeckChon> Once she's there she starts, "Um, Robin, was it? We can help you!"
  407. [2017-03-26 23:04:50] <BeckChon> "Just talk to us."
  408. [2017-03-26 23:05:40] <Bocaj> When she sees you Maggie May she moans "Oh noooooooo" and changes direction
  409. [2017-03-26 23:06:15] <Bocaj> Also I guess I should mention that you've been hearing a soft nyoooooooooooooom that you've been ignoring because some big dude on a flying bike just flies by and scoops Robin up in a net
  410. [2017-03-26 23:06:20] <Bocaj> "#Winning, get rekt bastiches!"
  411. [2017-03-26 23:07:12] <BeckChon> "What the-?"
  412. [2017-03-26 23:07:39] <maxwellelvis> "No, no no no no no NO! You are NOT stealing her!" Iguana flails impotently as they pass.
  413. [2017-03-26 23:08:45] <BeckChon> Maggie swerves after this flying biker. "We're not losing her yet. Definitely not to some rod hogs asshole."
  414. [2017-03-26 23:08:54] <BeckChon> *road
  415. [2017-03-26 23:09:25] <maxwellelvis> "Just get me close and I'll rip his bike up with my bare hands!"
  416. [2017-03-26 23:09:47] <BeckChon> "But then you'd fall too."
  417. [2017-03-26 23:10:16] <Bocaj> The air road hog sneers. "You're not stoppin' me. I'm the best there is at what I do. You girls are lucky I'm not after you, not today"
  418. [2017-03-26 23:10:31] <maxwellelvis> "Oh. Right." Iguana's bravado instantly collapses like a house of cards.
  419. [2017-03-26 23:10:38] <Bocaj> He brings the air bike around with a whine and zooms away vroom vroom
  420. [2017-03-26 23:11:49] <BeckChon> Maggie growls in an annoyed anger. She races after him.
  421. [2017-03-26 23:12:02] <BeckChon> "Maybe..." she says.
  422. [2017-03-26 23:12:16] <BeckChon> Maggie tries to create a blockade of energy
  423. [2017-03-26 23:12:26] <maxwellelvis> "Guys, we have a problem. Robin just got snatched up by some creep on a bike."
  424. [2017-03-26 23:13:36] <Duraz> (What does the guy look like?)
  425. [2017-03-26 23:13:42] <Bocaj> Is that blockade one of your flares? Or just an unleash?
  426. [2017-03-26 23:15:09] <Bocaj> The flying biker guy who may seem like he resembles a pop culture figure is big and broad. Just a real beefy man beef. He's got long blond hair and a close cropped beardomustache. And some shades
  427. [2017-03-26 23:15:29] <BeckChon> Would moat qualify as a blockaid use?
  428. [2017-03-26 23:16:11] <Bocaj> Moat seems to be for keeping threats away from you but I'll allow it. You'll need to charge up to use a flare though
  429. [2017-03-26 23:16:58] <BeckChon> (7)
  430. [2017-03-26 23:17:24] <Bocaj> So three burn and a condition
  431. [2017-03-26 23:17:46] <BeckChon> Guilty
  432. [2017-03-26 23:19:51] <maxwellelvis> (Bocaj: https://youtu.be/RKM1AAzeRCg?t=2m19s ???)
  433. [2017-03-26 23:20:22] <Bocaj> (Close)
  434. [2017-03-26 23:21:50] <Bocaj> Okay so two quick questions. One: Mel, Maggie just charged burn while carrying you. Feel anything? Two: Gang, whatchoo say/do to Mel's call?
  435. [2017-03-26 23:22:32] <maxwellelvis> "Ow OW! Getting very HOT! MagGIE!"
  436. [2017-03-26 23:23:13] <BeckChon> (Actually, it would probably be a strange mix of a burning cold)
  437. [2017-03-26 23:23:22] <Zarek_2> "Mel, what street are you on?"
  438. [2017-03-26 23:23:24] <maxwellelvis> (ah)
  439. [2017-03-26 23:23:31] <Duraz> (like frostbite?)
  440. [2017-03-26 23:23:36] <BeckChon> (but it would probably still hurt)
  441. [2017-03-26 23:23:50] <maxwellelvis> "I can't tell from up here! Can you see a motorcycle in the air where you are?"
  442. [2017-03-26 23:23:59] <Duraz> from the rooftops, I search the horizon with my elf eyes, and start towards the flying motorcycle with all of my speed
  443. [2017-03-26 23:24:01] <BeckChon> (sort of but not exactly)
  444. [2017-03-26 23:24:12] <BeckChon> (it just feels strange and it hurts)
  445. [2017-03-26 23:24:46] <maxwellelvis> "Now it's really cold. this is weird Maggie."
  446. [2017-03-26 23:24:48] <Zarek_2> Red hella-jumps to see if she can pinpoint their location.
  447. [2017-03-26 23:25:03] <BeckChon> Maggie is so focused on the biker she doesn't hear Mel.
  448. [2017-03-26 23:25:15] <BeckChon> She just grips Mel's hands tighter
  449. [2017-03-26 23:26:38] <BeckChon> Maggie's eyes fill completely with green as she charges up. Just as the air road hog is turning his head away from us after hh finishes his taunts.
  450. [2017-03-26 23:27:34] <BeckChon> the forcefield is up
  451. [2017-03-26 23:27:47] <BeckChon> and he's probably slammed into it by now.
  452. [2017-03-26 23:29:35] <BeckChon> (I mean, if Bocaj is cool with it going down that way.)
  453. [2017-03-26 23:30:42] <Bocaj> I'm going to say that he spots the energy wall at the last second and tries to dodge. He glances off the edge and the bike spins out
  454. [2017-03-26 23:31:32] <Bocaj> Red you see the bike spinning out as you're in midst of your hella jump
  455. [2017-03-26 23:31:47] <Bocaj> Birkita, you also see the out of control sky vehicle
  456. [2017-03-26 23:32:07] <Duraz> how high up is he?
  457. [2017-03-26 23:32:51] <Zarek_2> (Wackd, question, did Endless go with Red you think or did they split up?)
  458. [2017-03-26 23:33:05] <Wackd> (Probably went with Red)
  459. [2017-03-26 23:33:40] <Duraz> second question, how is the net attached to him or the bike? is he holding it?
  460. [2017-03-26 23:33:52] <Bocaj> Attached to the bike
  461. [2017-03-26 23:34:08] <Bocaj> And like wow so high up
  462. [2017-03-26 23:34:42] <BeckChon> (much altitude, such height, wow)
  463. [2017-03-26 23:34:51] <Duraz> how irritating - I probably can't throw anything up there, then
  464. [2017-03-26 23:36:05] <Zarek_2> When Red lands, she says over the communicator "On our way", nods in the directions to Endless, and books it.
  465. [2017-03-26 23:36:41] <Zarek_2> I do wanna note, she is not running at max speed because when she runs at max speed it tends to damage the asphalt beneath her so she's going very fast but not cracking-the-ground-beneath fast.
  466. [2017-03-26 23:37:19] <Duraz> can the new bike also fly?
  467. [2017-03-26 23:37:20] <Bocaj> ("My kingdom for the speed force, amirite?" "Uh")
  468. [2017-03-26 23:38:51] <Zarek_2> It cannot fly. The truck could only sort of fly under the circumstances that caused it to explode and it's designed similarly.
  469. [2017-03-26 23:39:15] <Zarek_2> Although actually we probably aren't actually running, Red came on the bike and Endless has a helmet
  470. [2017-03-26 23:40:02] <Zarek_2> But yeah we either run or more likely drive to where Maggie's bubble came up
  471. [2017-03-26 23:40:29] <Zarek_2> (I dunno how much time that leaves us but I do have a thing I know Red'll wanna do if she gets there soon enough)
  472. [2017-03-26 23:42:03] <Bocaj> So lets say it happens then
  473. [2017-03-26 23:42:44] <Zarek_2> Wait, question, is there still like a bubble around bikeman?
  474. [2017-03-26 23:42:54] <Bocaj> No.
  475. [2017-03-26 23:43:19] <BeckChon> (it was more of a wall)
  476. [2017-03-26 23:43:21] <Zarek_2> Okay, Red's gonna look up, take her staff on her back, and cast ICE KNIFE to cut the netting
  477. [2017-03-26 23:43:39] <Bocaj> Roll me an unleash
  478. [2017-03-26 23:44:03] <Zarek_2> (8)
  479. [2017-03-26 23:44:16] <Duraz> (are we allowed to roll a 10+ tonight?)
  480. [2017-03-26 23:44:51] <Bocaj> (Hypothetically)
  481. [2017-03-26 23:45:23] <Bocaj> So do you want an partial effect or do you want a condition?
  482. [2017-03-26 23:45:26] <Zarek_2> I'm gonna say it takes a few shots and sometimes the staff just emits a puff of snow and mark Insecure.
  483. [2017-03-26 23:46:51] <Bocaj> Okay. I'm going to avoid the easy joke and say that the last ICE KNIFE cuts the net without carving the turkey. Robin flips and flails in midair before gaining her equilibrium and taking wing
  484. [2017-03-26 23:47:33] <maxwellelvis> (Fly, unreasonably scared bird)
  485. [2017-03-26 23:48:14] <Bocaj> (I'd say its reasonable?)
  486. [2017-03-26 23:48:33] <maxwellelvis> (Okay)
  487. [2017-03-26 23:49:47] <BeckChon> (I mean, if not before then definitely now)
  488. [2017-03-26 23:52:27] <Bocaj> Meanwhile, the guy manages to bring his bike under control. He scowls. "Not smart to mess with the main man's bounty like that, ya fetuses. No one gets between Wolf, Bounty Hunter and a juicy paycheck"
  489. [2017-03-26 23:52:57] <Duraz> "Whaaaat?" I call from far below.
  490. [2017-03-26 23:53:08] <maxwellelvis> (Oh, I get it. He's a fusion of Lobo and Dog)
  491. [2017-03-26 23:53:20] <Bocaj> (I amuse myself and that's all that matters)
  492. [2017-03-26 23:53:32] <maxwellelvis> (Or should I call him "Mr. The Bounty Hunter"?)
  493. [2017-03-26 23:53:41] <BeckChon> (brb)
  494. [2017-03-26 23:55:53] <BeckChon> (back)
  495. [2017-03-26 23:59:52] <Zarek_2> (So I did my thing)
  496. [2017-03-27 00:00:33] <Duraz> there's no strong sunlight is there?
  497. [2017-03-27 00:00:48] <maxwellelvis> (S'been moody and rainy all day)
  498. [2017-03-27 00:01:21] <Bocaj> Mr. The Bounty Hunter pulls out a shotish looking gun. "You best stay out of my way or you'll be havin words with lil' Czarina here."
  499. [2017-03-27 00:02:23] <BeckChon> I'm guessing he's pointing it at Maggie and Mel.
  500. [2017-03-27 00:02:36] <Bocaj> Ye
  501. [2017-03-27 00:02:46] <maxwellelvis> Iguana instinctively sprays red liquid at him.
  502. [2017-03-27 00:02:54] <maxwellelvis> (Roll to engage?)
  503. [2017-03-27 00:03:18] <Bocaj> Yes
  504. [2017-03-27 00:03:30] <maxwellelvis> (9)
  505. [2017-03-27 00:04:06] <maxwellelvis> (And I'm going to take his gun)
  506. [2017-03-27 00:04:31] <Bocaj> Are you jumping free from Maggie's grasp?
  507. [2017-03-27 00:04:50] <maxwellelvis> I thought I'd kick it out of his hands.
  508. [2017-03-27 00:06:31] <Duraz> (oh wow is this dangerous)
  509. [2017-03-27 00:07:07] <Bocaj> Okay. You spray red liquid at him. He is wearing shades but he's momentarily distracted by it nonetheless and you kick the gun from his hands. In frustration, he swings an arm at you. And he kind of hits like a brick shithouse on a train. Roll to take a hit
  510. [2017-03-27 00:08:01] <maxwellelvis> (Well Zarek, you wanted to know the answer to this: 10)
  511. [2017-03-27 00:08:17] <Zarek_2> (I didn't ask that)
  512. [2017-03-27 00:08:20] <Bocaj> (I think we need to burn the dice room. It has been vindictive lately)
  513. [2017-03-27 00:08:23] <Duraz> (that was me)
  514. [2017-03-27 00:08:29] <maxwellelvis> (oh)
  515. [2017-03-27 00:09:04] <Duraz> (Zarek handles the vicissitudes of the dice room much more calmly than I - also you're taking a powerful blow at several hundred feet)
  516. [2017-03-27 00:09:09] <Duraz> (yikes)
  517. [2017-03-27 00:09:17] <maxwellelvis> (I'm going to say Mel is removed from that scene by falling)
  518. [2017-03-27 00:09:58] <maxwellelvis> (But, like, just managing to catch herself on something, about as gracefully as Peter Parker tends to in this sort of situation)
  519. [2017-03-27 00:10:27] <BeckChon> (well something is gonna have to throw off Maggie to prevent her fro going after Mel)
  520. [2017-03-27 00:10:49] <Bocaj> Okay so Mel has been knocked free of Maggie's grasp by the shitbrickhouse and plummets. Just managing to catch herself on something. Lil' Czarina is not so lucky and falls to the street below and probably breaks. That's what happens when stuff falls that far right
  521. [2017-03-27 00:11:12] <Bocaj> Or maybe Maggie wants to try to catch Mel.
  522. [2017-03-27 00:11:15] <Zarek_2> (Depends on the something but that seems valid)
  523. [2017-03-27 00:11:35] <BeckChon> Maggie DEFINITELY wants to catch Mel.
  524. [2017-03-27 00:12:26] <BeckChon> The second she escapes her grasp Maggie's heart jumps, and without hesitation goes to catch Mel
  525. [2017-03-27 00:12:52] <Bocaj> Mr. The Bounty Hunter seems nettled. "I did warn y'all."
  526. [2017-03-27 00:13:52] <Bocaj> He revves his air bike and air scoots it around to ram Maggie
  527. [2017-03-27 00:14:24] <BeckChon> (let me guess, roll to take a blow?)
  528. [2017-03-27 00:14:38] <Bocaj> I'm going to say roll an unleash for some sweet midair maneveruing
  529. [2017-03-27 00:14:43] <Bocaj> except spelled right
  530. [2017-03-27 00:15:30] <BeckChon> 12!
  531. [2017-03-27 00:15:44] <Duraz> (ABOUT TIIIIIME)
  532. [2017-03-27 00:16:37] <Bocaj> There is some exceptionally sweet midair maneuvering
  533. [2017-03-27 00:16:50] <maxwellelvis> (Unfortunately, what Mel winds up catching herself on is a laundry line that ends up swinging her to land on, and fall through, three awnings and into a dumpster. Y'know, assuming Maggs can't catch her)
  534. [2017-03-27 00:17:39] <Bocaj> In a motion that people would call anatomically dubious, you dodge the Wolf Bounty Hunter and snag Mel
  535. [2017-03-27 00:18:17] <Duraz> (does that save her from the blow, or lessen it, or is she still knocked silly?)
  536. [2017-03-27 00:18:18] <maxwellelvis> "Woo! Perfect landing! Just like I planned it."
  537. [2017-03-27 00:19:08] <Bocaj> Hm. Also could have done that as a defense roll.
  538. [2017-03-27 00:19:37] <Bocaj> And I say that Mel is heavily winded but more conscious than a trip to dumptown would have left her
  539. [2017-03-27 00:19:38] <Duraz> (I think that would have been orthodox)
  540. [2017-03-27 00:21:21] <BeckChon> "Mel! Are you okay!?!" Maggie says completely frazzled from worry.
  541. [2017-03-27 00:21:53] <maxwellelvis> "I'll tell you when I stop screaming."
  542. [2017-03-27 00:22:00] <Bocaj> So people who aren't Maggie and Mel, teen detectives, duder just attacked two of your teammates and the second time wasn't even debatably self defense
  543. [2017-03-27 00:22:52] <Duraz> he is also far out of my reach, unless the maneuvering took them lower
  544. [2017-03-27 00:23:40] <Zarek_2> "Endless, you happen to have anything that can bring down a space bike?"
  545. [2017-03-27 00:24:24] <Wackd> "Depends on propulsion method. And, er, how much of it you want left afterwards."
  546. [2017-03-27 00:25:19] <Zarek_2> "Guy caught a person in a net, let's assume the only thing of his we don't wanna actually break is him."
  547. [2017-03-27 00:30:51] <Bocaj> (So, there's a non small amount of Robin stuff left over that I don't want to rush through and people need to wake up in the morning so right here seems like an organic place to cliffhang. Right before a fight. Or at the commencement or whatever. Red even said a cool thing that could be a cool last panel thing)
  548. [2017-03-27 00:31:07] <Wackd> "Right. SO, this one isn't SPECIFICALLY for space bikes but it'll probably be okay." She takes out a little metal ball. "Assuming that thing is made of metal, when this thing makes contact his bike'll seize up completely. Drop out of the sky." She hands it to Red. "Your aim's probably better than mine."
  549. [2017-03-27 00:31:36] <Wackd> (Ah sorry but at least we've established my cool piece of tech so I don't forget it by next week)
  550. [2017-03-27 00:31:39] <Duraz> (end on the throw?)
  551. [2017-03-27 00:31:56] <Duraz> (like Red throws and the last panel is a wide shot of it in the air between her and Wolf?)
  552. [2017-03-27 00:32:12] <Zarek_2> (Works for me.)
  553. [2017-03-27 00:32:22] <Bocaj> (Sure)
  554. [2017-03-27 00:33:47] <Zarek_2> (So do we wanna do end of session here? Does it feel earned? Because I know what I could do but I dunno if everyone else has stuff they can do)
  555. [2017-03-27 00:34:20] <maxwellelvis> I'd like to wait a week.)
  556. [2017-03-27 00:35:51] <BeckChon> (sounds good to me)
  557. [2017-03-27 00:35:56] <Duraz> (I don't have an end-of-session move I want to make)
  558. [2017-03-27 00:36:49] <Zarek_2> (Okie doke. I should probably go ahead and sleep now, then)
  559. [2017-03-27 00:36:56] <maxwellelvis> Goodnigth Zarek
  560. [2017-03-27 00:37:00] <Duraz> sleep well

  567. [2017-03-27 00:39:40] <Duraz> in fact, au revoir
  568. [2017-03-27 00:40:04] <maxwellelvis> Ah.
  569. [2017-03-27 00:40:05] <maxwellelvis> Night.

  600. [2017-04-30 16:56:51] <Duraz> I did have a thought re: the ship
  601. [2017-04-30 17:01:43] <Zarek> Hm?
  602. [2017-04-30 17:02:57] <Duraz> you know how it started to act a little bit like a character?
  603. [2017-04-30 17:03:27] <Zarek> Vaguely.
  604. [2017-04-30 17:03:36] <Duraz> rather than making Sophie a commander of the ship, the ship could be a separate character with the responsibility of keeping her safe when she's mission controlling us in dangerous situations
  605. [2017-04-30 17:03:50] <Duraz> and also one that starts to notice that she doesn't seem fond of this superheroism stuff
  606. [2017-04-30 17:04:16] <Duraz> since it would be spending time with her while we're doing our thing
  607. [2017-04-30 17:05:02] <Wackd> Sounds good to me
  608. [2017-04-30 17:06:17] <Duraz> so in the future, instead of asking, "Can Sophie bring the ship?" I'll ask "Can the ship bring Sophie?"
  609. [2017-04-30 17:06:58] <Duraz> but as I recall, we won't need it now, since you guys are about to bring Wolf down

  622. [2017-04-30 17:26:16] <Duraz> oh, Zarek, that was me - I was trying to figure out how to get the dice room to "keep" dice
  623. [2017-04-30 17:27:41] <Bocaj> Welcome back, true believers! We left our youngerish heroes, the Unwelcome, in quite a pinch when we last left off before the writer's strike forced us to run reprints for a little while! To recap for new and forgetful viewers and people whose baby brother ate their back issues: A strange bird type creature person was spotted at the mall. When the
  624. [2017-04-30 17:27:41] <Bocaj> Unwelcome investigated, the strange bird type creature flew off possibly spooked by Maggie May. Chase was given and the Iguana sat down to have a chat wherein revealed a name was: Robin. But then a twist of sorts?! Lobo, Bounty Hunter, captured Robin in a net. The Unwelcome managed to free Robin but now they're fighting this jerk guy. What a jerk h
  625. [2017-04-30 17:27:41] <Bocaj> e is. An angry jerk because the Unwelcome keep breaking his things.
  626. [2017-04-30 17:29:01] <Zarek> (Were one of us about to shoot him with a thing or did I imagine that?)
  627. [2017-04-30 17:29:26] <Bocaj> (I vaguely recall a grenade maybe)
