18:32 <~tubes> You sit outside the safehouse on a Saturday evening. Mom and Dad were out at some party, drinking and pretending not to be dysfunctional as usual. You took the opportunity to slip out to one of your hideouts and plan one of your usual heists. Gaining superpowers wasn't pleasant, but now that you had them, you could do whatever you wanted. The power was glorious. You hide outside of an
18:32 <~tubes> abandoned house cum warehouse a couple of miles of away from your hideout. You'd seen people go in and out of this makeshift warehouse all last week, carrying duffel bags and meeting at odd hours, vans pulling up and pulling out a short while later. There was bound to be loot in there somewhere. ||
18:33 -- You are now known as tubes|GM
18:37 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle stays low to the ground looking out for entrances and possible guards. ||)
18:59 <~tubes|GM> Your keen sight misses nothing, and you take it all in. The house looks to have been some kind of multi-use building before, having passed through a couple of different phases. Right now it has an enlarged garage attached, along with a large stoop, and a reinforced front door. The path in the grass to a back gate would seem to indicate that there's some entrance in the back. A woman on the
18:59 <~tubes|GM> front porch, despite her attempts to look like she's just out for a break, is on her 6th cigarette - she's probably been out there for a while. You don't see a weapon on her.
18:59 <~tubes|GM> ||
19:05 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle shifts into her liquid form, moving through the shadows of the building while going in the same direction as the back path. ||
19:09 <~tubes|GM> Sticking to the shadows, you go unnoticed by the sentry as you slither your way around the building , following the worn path to a back gate to a seemingly mundane fence. ||
19:15 <PC|Gargoyle> She moves on the concrete after concentrating her form into a box with a point to peer into it before fully entering. Best not to fully enter into an occupied room.||
19:18 <PC|Gargoyle> (redact I read that wrong)
19:19 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle shifts her form to slide through the gate with ease.
19:19 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
19:33 <~tubes|GM> You slip under the gate with ease, coming upon a decript, overgrown backyard, filled with garbage, including random broken chemistry equipment and 'medical supplies'.Two other women sit on the back porch, smoking something decidedly different than the woman on the front porch. One of them turns to the other, reaching behind her back. "Hey, did you see something move over there?" "Uh...maybe?"
19:33 <~tubes|GM> The other one responds. She seems a little out of it. "I'm gonna go check it out" the first one says. She gets up and starts walking towards the gate. ||
19:35 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle rushes to hide under a few pieces of trash and procedes to burrow down a bit.
19:35 <PC|Gargoyle> proceeds* ||
19:38 <~tubes|GM> Spreading yourself out into a dull puddle, you slither away in the shadows, securing yourself a hiding spot behind a pile of rusty sinks and washing machines in the corner before she gets to you. The woman looks around near the gate, but finding it undisturbed, she kicks some dirt and mumbles "musta been a cat" before returning to her herbal supplements. ||

19:42 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle moves underground, slithering towards the path and then down it to the garage.
19:42 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
19:46 <~tubes|GM> You've solidified a little bit from your purely liquied state, giving you enough mass to burrow underground. It takes a while, but you move from your hiding spot to the garage door unnoticed, and manage to absorb enough dirt on the way there to stay liquid. By this point, the women on the back porch appear to be well and truly stoned. ||
19:49 <PC|Gargoyle> "Fuck..." She curses under her breath, and sneaks to the back porch, absorbing mass along the way to, behind the women.
19:49 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
19:56 <~tubes|GM> Following the wall of the house, you creep up on to the back porch, behind the women, and manage to make it to the back door without them noticing. "What if like, trees are alive?" You hear the second woman say. ||

19:58 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle merges through the door after shifting into a thinner and but longer form to create a very small hole in the material.
19:58 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
20:02 <~tubes|GM> The door is crap, moldy chipboard, and you manage to punch through it without too much work, sliding through to the other side. The room is dark, and on first impression, you can't make much out, other than vague outlines of furniture. ||
20:04 <PC|Gargoyle> She slides throw the room, looking for a door of some kind while sticking to the walls.
20:05 <PC|Gargoyle> ||

20:09 <~tubes|GM> As you slide along the wall, looking for a room to explore, a light switch suddenly comes on. ||
20:10 <PC|Gargoyle> The puddle moves to hide under a bit of furniture. ||
20:18 <~tubes|GM> You speed for a couch, and just barely make it as a woman who was sitting near the other end of the room stands up and shoulders what appears to be a submachine gun of some kind. She starts walking towards your previous location. ||
20:22 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle keep moving away from the woman, trying to stay out of sight while shifting positions.||
20:27 <~tubes|GM> You speed from one set of cover to the next, but despite your swiftness, the woman spots you. She's too slow to bring her gun to bear, and instead pulls out a radio and squwaks it twice. ||
20:28 <PC|Gargoyle> G. jump at her, shifting into a new form to attack her. ||
20:39 <~tubes|GM> You launch yourself at the woman, shifting into a spike, but she rolls out of the way, and you hit the wall, creating a small dent before  sliding back down the wall. As she creates distance, gun pointed at you, another woman comes running into the room. She has a strange blur on her that makes you go cross-eyed (wherever your eyes are) and a not-glow; the floor steams in a disturbing way
20:39 <~tubes|GM> where she steps. ||
20:44 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle shifts into a snake like form and slithers up the wall, and then pounces at the woman, after shifting into a spike again. ||
20:54 <~tubes|GM> The woman, seeing you move lightning quick, braces herself as you stab into her shoulder, reaching for the knife at her belt all the while. The other woman closes the distance, and grabs for yo, still doing her crosseyed not-glow thing. As her hand reaches for you, your liquid state starts to hiss in bubble. It's not quite painful (do you even have pain receptors) but it is decidely
20:54 <~tubes|GM> unpleasant. Whatever it's doing, it screws with you, and you start to harden more rapidly than usual. ||
20:56 <PC|Gargoyle> The liquid form shifts to change into a thick snake like creature, and darts out of the room, moving evasively.
20:56 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
21:05 <~tubes|GM> You're quick on the draw once again, and you explode towards the door with a fancy spring manuever and a wiggle. You're losing mobility by the second, and you can tell you'll soon be forced back into human form. The woman you stabbed fires a short burst at you, but your current form is too small a target, and she misses by an alarmingly small margin. The other one, the apparent parahuman,
21:05 <~tubes|GM> chases after you, still pulling her eye-crossing trick. As you hit the door however, you run into a problem - you're too large and too viscous for the hole you made to get in previously, and the enemy cape is closing in on you. |
21:07 <PC|Gargoyle> After slithering up the ceiling, Gargoyle breaks the light in quick motion, and jumps behind the woman at the last second.
21:07 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
21:11 <~tubes|GM> You try to go up the ceiling, but you've run out of time and you're just not fast enough. The woman with the not-glow closes in on you while the other woman pops in another magazine, ignoring her wound. "Whatever the fuck you are, freeze, or I fry you," The first woman says. ||
21:11 <PC|Gargoyle> Gargoyle stops, and mutters out "Don't hurt me!
21:12 <PC|Gargoyle> -," best to play up any naivety with these people. ||
21:13 <PC|Gargoyle> [[add in please to the don't hurt me..]]
21:14 <PC|Gargoyle> ||
21:20 <~tubes|GM> The apparent cape startles a bit at your feminine voice. You drop from the ceiling as you're gradually forced back into human form. "Oh, don't hurt me huh? In case you hadn't noticed, bitch, you stabbed my friend over there. How do I know you're not some bullshit tinker thing, or some puppet? Why shouldn't I end you right now?" The friend seems unconcerned, giving her wound a preliminary
21:20 <~tubes|GM> patching up before refocusing the gun on you. The cape is rather sarcastic, but she stops doing whatever it is that she was doing, probably because it was slowly burning through the floor. ||

21:27 <PsychicChuckles> "I'm sorry, I'm new at this whole villain thing.... I was trying to raid to a house, I got in over my head... I really really really really don't want to die..." The girl mutters while changing back to her humanoid state. ||
21:31 <PsychicChuckles> [[Raid a house*]]
21:33 <~tubes|GM> ...
21:38 <~tubes|GM> You're practically immobile at this point, and back up is starting to show up. Other girls, including your stoner friends from out back, are filing in, almost all of them packing heat. Those that aren't are carrying knives or baseball bats. Nearly a dozen people, all in all. "'Got in over your head'...HAH. You fucked up, girlie. This territory belongs to Striptease. Not even the cartels come
21:38 <~tubes|GM> down here. You are unable to respond, having hardend to the point where you're a literal statute. The woman kicks the girl-shaped concrete "Can't respond? Don't want to? Jainie, see to Tequila. The rest of you, let's take this bitch to Striptease, since she so kindly asked US not to kill her." ||
21:42 <PsychicChuckles> Gargoyle nods, and pulling up the hood of her jacket. ||
21:43 <PsychicChuckles> pulls*
