  1. [2016-04-23 06:16:02] <Megafire> It's just that the package that kid came in was way too messed up for me to handle.
  2. [2016-04-23 06:16:13] <Megafire> And, given the people I have been taking on, that's saying something.
  3. [2016-04-23 06:16:35] <Antioch> Heh.
  4. [2016-04-23 06:16:50] <Antioch> Cape transfer time is a-comin'.
  5. [2016-04-23 06:17:13] <Megafire> Cool, going to make sure to get my hands on someone sane and sensible.

  7. [2016-04-23 06:17:55] <panth> That's not very likely given the way capes are, Megafire
  8. [2016-04-23 06:18:04] <panth> Your best bet is to hope for somebody like Guzhang
  9. [2016-04-23 06:18:06] <Megafire> Valiant is that.
  10. [2016-04-23 06:18:13] <panth> There's a fine upstanding sane sensible man
  11. [2016-04-23 06:18:14] <Megafire> Most of Critical is that.
  12. [2016-04-23 06:18:48] <Megafire> Honestly, Valiant is a saint, and I have no idea what I did to deserve the man.
  13. [2016-04-23 06:19:22] <Antioch> I'm updating his dossier to be more detailed, incidentally.
  14. [2016-04-23 06:20:03] <Megafire> Honestly, Feral's entrance was amazing, but I think Valiant is still my favourite.
  15. [2016-04-23 06:20:21] <panth> Feral is a true showstopper XD
  16. [2016-04-23 06:20:36] <Serk> Morning all
  17. [2016-04-23 06:20:50] <Megafire> I love her taunts.
  18. [2016-04-23 06:21:07] <Megafire> Then again, anyone who does the overly familiar 'darling' and 'hon' wins points in that regard.
  19. [2016-04-23 06:21:17] <Megafire> And Gigawatt yelling in the background.
  20. [2016-04-23 06:21:26] <Megafire> It's a good thing I put her on drone-zapping duty, first.
  21. [2016-04-23 06:21:44] <Antioch> Will be shedding light on the trigger events of the various Protectorate capes.
  22. [2016-04-23 06:22:05] <Megafire> Oh, cool!

  24. [2016-04-23 06:23:07] <Antioch> Care to hazard a guess at anyone's before I tell you?
  25. [2016-04-23 06:23:40] <Megafire> I'm very tempted to compare Valiant's to Chevalier's.
  26. [2016-04-23 06:24:02] <Megafire> Given their similar development and character, but their powers are completely different.
  27. [2016-04-23 06:24:11] <Antioch> You'd be remarkably close. Similar circumstances, different breaking points.
  28. [2016-04-23 06:24:29] <Megafire> Hmhmm.
  29. [2016-04-23 06:24:53] <Megafire> Too many options for Feral, really.
  30. [2016-04-23 06:26:05] <Megafire> Forgemaster's artistic spirit gives some insight, I think. Don't know how long he triggered, but I imagine he spent his youth having to do shit he really didn't like, while being disparaged out of his actual hobbies.
  31. [2016-04-23 06:27:20] <panth> Antioch: you read Mandarin, sort of, yes?
  32. [2016-04-23 06:27:30] <Antioch> Sort of, yeah.

  35. [2016-04-23 06:27:50] <panth> Stupid jokes, mostly, admittedly.
  36. [2016-04-23 06:28:27] <panth> The shining example so far being: "Q: How do you deal with the embarrassment of crashing your car into the bank? A: Shout 'this is a robbery!'"
  37. [2016-04-23 06:28:45] <panth> Anyway - ooooh PRT trigger events!
  38. [2016-04-23 06:28:53] <Antioch> Valiant triggered in his mid-teens, his father a casualty of gang violence, a thug lower on the rung that just happened to get in a bad, losing fight. Wasn't the breaking point.
  39. [2016-04-23 06:28:56] <soulpelt|> still hope I get to do my various plans for taking care of Feral
  40. [2016-04-23 06:29:18] <panth> soulpelt|: I didn't think Feral /needed/ help
  41. [2016-04-23 06:29:28] <panth> She a strong woman who don't need no man
  42. [2016-04-23 06:29:40] <soulpelt|> I meant as in take her out of the the whole equation.
  43. [2016-04-23 06:29:45] <Megafire> He knows.

  47. [2016-04-23 06:30:28] <Antioch> He got tapped by the same gang, fourteen or fifteen and nearly six foot already. He joins up, not happy about it but needing the work to even think about providing for his kid sister, make sure the house doesn't foreclose.
  48. [2016-04-23 06:30:49] <panth> Ahkies
  49. [2016-04-23 06:31:26] <Megafire> I can see why he felt sympathy towards Gwyn.
  50. [2016-04-23 06:31:55] <Antioch> In the end, what breaks him is an accident, a cruel stroke of luck -- he goes home, finds her dead, gotten into something she wasn't supposed to get into. Cleaning product or something. Easily avoidable, were he at home to supervise.
  51. [2016-04-23 06:32:10] <soulpelt|> oh dear
  52. [2016-04-23 06:32:28] <Megafire> Oh fuck.
  53. [2016-04-23 06:32:34] <Antioch> He goes ballistic, lashes out, ends up having the blood of more gang members on his hand, holding them culpable.

  55. [2016-04-23 06:33:15] <Antioch> Then, after the fact, realizes the men who died at his hand, by and large, were likely in the same circumstances as his father. He's only worsened the cycle of things, as it were.
  56. [2016-04-23 06:33:19] <Antioch> Trigger.

  58. [2016-04-23 06:33:40] <Megafire> Damn, dude has a lot of blood on his hands.
  59. [2016-04-23 06:34:19] <soulpelt|> mhm
  60. [2016-04-23 06:34:23] <Antioch> A triple-digit bodycount, albeit on the lower end, assuming his personal testimony is accurate.
  61. [2016-04-23 06:34:55] <Antioch> It's a number he's kept track of, that he carries with him. Seems unlikely he would fabricate or embellish.
  62. [2016-04-23 06:35:21] <Ace|phone> What is going on ?
  63. [2016-04-23 06:35:23] <Megafire> Holy shit.
  64. [2016-04-23 06:35:35] <Megafire> And now he's the coolest guy ever.
  65. [2016-04-23 06:35:46] <soulpelt|> man alt-trigger Wink and Valiant would get along great.
  66. [2016-04-23 06:36:09] <Antioch> As it is, Valiant doesn't consider himself a good cape or a good man, but he's well aware of what a good man would do -- and he carries himself thus.
  67. [2016-04-23 06:36:21] <Ace|phone> Valiant has a triple digit bodycount ? Damn
  68. [2016-04-23 06:36:36] <panth> Becoming the Mask, as it were
  69. [2016-04-23 06:36:47] <Antioch> Hence his choice of the name. Raising the bar, forcing himself to maintain that persona.
  70. [2016-04-23 06:36:51] <Megafire> Right, dude needs to be able to take a break, before he does something stupid.
  71. [2016-04-23 06:37:06] <Megafire> Hence me looking for a decent second in command.
  72. [2016-04-23 06:39:10] <panth> Megafire: do that thing where you shove him at a bar and tell him to have himself a good night
  73. [2016-04-23 06:39:22] <Megafire> I can't do that yet.
  74. [2016-04-23 06:39:30] <Megafire> He's pretty much holding the team together.
  75. [2016-04-23 06:39:53] <Megafire> Only dude with leadership aspirations after him is Conquistador, and that would not go over well.
  76. [2016-04-23 06:39:53] <panth> That sounds decidedly unstable
  77. [2016-04-23 06:40:09] — soulpelt| snipes Valiant.
  78. [2016-04-23 06:40:11] <Megafire> Yes, hence, looking for a new cape to support him.
  79. [2016-04-23 06:40:12] <panth> Maybe one of the other people, who've been holding back because "Valiant does it better"...?
  80. [2016-04-23 06:40:31] <panth> You sometimes find leadership potential in unlikely places.
  81. [2016-04-23 06:40:44] <Megafire> Well, Feral's too impulsive for it, Forgemaster doesn't do it, Gigawatt's way too abrasive...
  82. [2016-04-23 06:40:53] <soulpelt|> also drugs
  83. [2016-04-23 06:41:03] <Megafire> Shrapnel isn't confident enough, and isn't quite keeping up with things as they stand.
  84. [2016-04-23 06:41:06] <Megafire> Fleetfoot is a maybe.
  85. [2016-04-23 06:41:32] <Antioch> Feral triggered in high school -- or, rather, a few months into dropping out. No knack for learning, no definite future in mind, she ends up shacking up with a college boyfriend who seems to have his shit together.
  86. [2016-04-23 06:42:20] <Antioch> When it gets to the point that it sours, it's too late for her to try to wriggle out, and he's the *controlling* type of abusive. Limiting her food portions to an unhealthy degree, starving her for her figure.

  88. [2016-04-23 06:43:21] <Antioch> She susses out the numerical combination for the lock on the pantry, sneaking food where she can.

  90. [2016-04-23 06:44:22] <Antioch> Her boyfriend, clearly not seeing her be as thin as he intends, catches her in the act one day. Lays into her, no punch held back.
  91. [2016-04-23 06:44:55] <Antioch> All of them aimed at her gut and solar plexus, every one intended to make her puke out what she ate.
  92. [2016-04-23 06:44:57] <Antioch> Trigger.
  93. [2016-04-23 06:45:19] <Megafire> Eesh.
  94. [2016-04-23 06:46:05] <Antioch> Bit of a Changer flavor to that trigger, no?
  95. [2016-04-23 06:46:07] <panth> What's wrong with Rush's parents, soulpelt|?
  96. [2016-04-23 06:46:16] <soulpelt|> Antioch: share with Panth what they did
  97. [2016-04-23 06:46:17] <Megafire> Yeah.

  105. [2016-04-23 06:56:21] <Antioch> Where most parents would discipline their kids by spankings or grounding, Rush's parents preferred the time-out.
  106. [2016-04-23 06:56:23] <Megafire> Unless, of course, Gigawatt toasts her victims, first.
  107. [2016-04-23 06:56:36] <iridium248> I vaguely recall a cape who could turn water to Napalm.
  108. [2016-04-23 06:56:40] <iridium248> PRT Quest, was it?
  109. [2016-04-23 06:56:53] <Antioch> Much like Guzhang, the parents were sick of their kid's shit, acting out for attention when they had none to give.

  111. [2016-04-23 06:57:33] <Antioch> The timeouts were hours long, locking her in the garage without food, water, a bathroom, growing longer after awhile.
  112. [2016-04-23 06:57:39] <soulpelt|> he could ignite any liquid. But it was random
  113. [2016-04-23 06:57:54] <iridium248> Random?
  114. [2016-04-23 06:57:54] <Antioch> Got to the point where it was overnight, the parents still saw no improvement.
  115. [2016-04-23 06:57:55] <soulpelt|> basically he could ignite the ocean
  116. [2016-04-23 06:58:12] <soulpelt|> like one day it could be orange juice, another water, another blood
  117. [2016-04-23 06:58:56] <iridium248> That doesn't sound very useful.
  118. [2016-04-23 06:59:20] <soulpelt|> then he gets blood and you're literally burning from the inside out

  120. [2016-04-23 06:59:43] <Antioch> About the time she got into high school, they raised the stakes, delivering ultimatums about her grades. She outright fails her classes out of spite, having gotten used to the garage situation.
  121. [2016-04-23 06:59:56] <Antioch> They lock her in again, this time leaving the car engine running.

  134. [2016-04-23 07:03:43] <Antioch> She fought back enough to run away.
  135. [2016-04-23 07:03:45] <Antioch> So none.
  136. [2016-04-23 07:03:56] <Megafire> Oh.

  140. [2016-04-23 07:05:04] <Megafire> Also, I was hoping the opportunity would come up to make fun of Mortal Lock, because Mendez knows the cathartic purposes of making fun of a toxic environment you just got out of.
  141. [2016-04-23 07:05:55] <Antioch> Feral's been through stuff far worse than her initial trigger event.
  142. [2016-04-23 07:06:29] <Antioch> Her power doesn't turn off pain, but she's a two-decade cape veteran, deals in much the same way Marquis does.
  143. [2016-04-23 07:06:31] <Megafire> I imagine so, because running away without really hurting him doesn't quite sound like the Feral we know and love.
  144. [2016-04-23 07:07:31] <panth> Guzhang was the other side of the parental abuse equation, though.
  145. [2016-04-23 07:08:08] <panth> He was the abuser, and the child... didn't trigger. It might have been better for him if it had.

  149. [2016-04-23 07:13:44] <Megafire> Eesh.
  150. [2016-04-23 07:15:09] <Antioch> Drowning and claustrophobia, non-stop. Asphyxiating, struggling, for a minute or two, five-odd seconds of unconsciousness and her power putting herself back together, non-stop.
  151. [2016-04-23 07:15:44] <soulpelt|> immortality sure does suck, don't it.
  152. [2016-04-23 07:16:40] <Antioch> In and out, dying on repeat, almost twenty thousand times. Closest anyone's going to be able to get, giving a firsthand account of being a Grey Boy victim.
  153. [2016-04-23 07:16:54] <Megafire> Oh god.

  155. [2016-04-23 07:18:05] <Antioch> Part of what informs her attitude and outlook on life, because from her perspective, Hell is very real, and very inevitable.
  156. [2016-04-23 07:18:25] <Megafire> So, she just goes 'fuck it'.
  157. [2016-04-23 07:18:44] <Antioch> Part of her is reckless because it's her strength, facing no repercussions from physical harm, and part of her is reckless because she's secretly hoping to find a cape whose power will stick.

  169. [2016-04-23 07:23:12] <soulpelt|> I'm curious about DD and Guts' trigger
  170. [2016-04-23 07:23:57] <Antioch> Forge was an art student who put six years work towards his degree, getting carpal tunnel in both wrists for his trouble, then finding his future ruined in large part to the carpal tunnel -- ruining his chances at recognition, his wrists flaring up at the worst time, fucking him over at the deadline. A bit of irony in that, and a lot of bitterness.
  171. [2016-04-23 07:25:00] <Antioch> I'd have to check my notes for the Blackjack capes.
  172. [2016-04-23 07:25:44] <panth> Forge's trigger sounds a lot like Antioch re: piano music
  173. [2016-04-23 07:25:46] <panth> >_>
  174. [2016-04-23 07:26:18] <Antioch> Drew from that, yeah, though piano didn't inform my future or career a fraction as much.
  175. [2016-04-23 07:27:04] <Megafire> Then we have Conquistador.
  176. [2016-04-23 07:27:07] <Megafire> Our little go-getter.
  177. [2016-04-23 07:28:18] <Antioch> CQ was homeschooled, started going to public school in 9th grade, got the shit kicked out of him by a lot of people in the school banding together because of the casually racist stuff his parents were teaching him.
  178. [2016-04-23 07:29:04] ⇐ AmbiClone quit (Ambigravity@net-homrk2.syban.net): Ping timeout: 181 seconds
  179. [2016-04-23 07:29:06] <Antioch> And that he was spouting off without a second thought.
  180. [2016-04-23 07:29:26] → AmbiClone joined (Ambigravity@net-homrk2.syban.net)
  181. [2016-04-23 07:30:29] <Megafire> Poor guy.
  182. [2016-04-23 07:32:30] <soulpelt|> why do I get the feeling every cape in Cleveland has parental issues? :P
  183. [2016-04-23 07:32:49] <Megafire> Even the non-capes have parental issues.
  184. [2016-04-23 07:33:04] — panth puts Mendez on a couch and asks about her father
  185. [2016-04-23 07:33:18] <Antioch> Most people IRL do, too.
  186. [2016-04-23 07:33:24] <Megafire> True.
  187. [2016-04-23 07:34:50] <Antioch> Going sailing, will be off your radar for much of the weekend.
  188. [2016-04-23 07:35:12] <panth> ;o
  189. [2016-04-23 07:35:14] <panth> Have fun
  190. [2016-04-23 07:35:14] <Antioch> If I'm not back on by Monday afternoon, assume I've drowned.
  191. [2016-04-23 07:35:17] <panth> Don't capsize
  192. [2016-04-23 07:35:28] <panth> We'll watch the news tickers for any sign
  193. [2016-04-23 07:35:28] <soulpelt|> D:
  194. [2016-04-23 07:35:58] ⇐ Ambi|away quit (Ambigravity@net-homrk2.syban.net): Ping timeout: 181 seconds
  195. [2016-04-23 07:36:03] ⇐ AmbiClone quit (Ambigravity@net-homrk2.syban.net): Ping timeout: 181 seconds
  196. [2016-04-23 07:36:08] <Antioch> Shouldn't be a worry, though there was a freak accident in the boat race last year that killed six people.
  197. [2016-04-23 07:36:18] <Megafire> Goddamnit, Anti.
  198. [2016-04-23 07:36:21] <Antioch> Was bad weather, though, and skies are clear and expected to stay that way.

  200. [2016-04-23 07:37:07] <Antioch> Later, guys! Fill me in on what I've missed when I return.
