Talk
"So, Gaby, have you had the same power set since you changed or have more abilities been showing up over time? Laura, this whole affair is another check in support of you being dead right about me. Did my dad do something to my sister and I to make us more than just a normal mutant...is that even a thing? Abnormal mutants? Seems like an oxymoron...heh, roxxymoron. Rixxon, Oxymoron, sigh, I'm so stressed and hungry that I'm making bad jokes."

>[X] Talk.

“So” You break the silence, and the world shifts subtly out of grey. Sometimes you think the scar eats silence. “You came a long way, right?”

“Maybe not as long as you think.” Answers Gabriella.

And so, as you trek through the snow-wrapped ruins, you come to learn of how Gabriella Alvarez was adopted by an American family – the, of all things, Robinsons – after her visible mutations went into remission. Gabriella Robinson existed as a brief, ecstatic spark of churchgoing, early-rising optimism for roughly three years, till one day, just a little over a year and a half ago, she found herself harried by strange sensations and stranger urgings, and soon enough there was fur sprouting where there should be none, her figure shifting, her eyes changing, and her life spiralling off its tracks. Gabriella Robinson ceased to be, and the repulsive Alvarez existence was tolerated a short while before she was forced to leave. So she set out to find a messiah with the name of Joshua Green.

Joshua Green, stooped in his study, nursing black bags under his eyes, smiling reflexively and murmuring into his coffee. The more you hear, the less her description of your father seems to match the tired, undecided man you hold in your memory. You become markedly uncomfortable and shift the conversation toward food, noticing her brighten up somewhat.

You glance back at Laura for a moment. Maybe her theory was right. Maybe your father did something – something that changed you and your sister.

Those eyes…

You make it back the apartment soon enough, shuffling off some of the damp winter atmosphere as you step in through the door. The smell of boiled meat trails down from upstairs and you feel your mouth watering.

>>28422531

Yeah.

My plans were: Talk with Peter, train with Laura, get furniture, talk to Creeper about job (like get a good idea what it involves, when we can start it, etc.) and see why Noriko doesn't wanna train.

>>28422560
Just because we are honest doesn't mean we should tell other people's problems. If it becomes an issue fine but let her get a bit of characterization. Is she unrepentant? Is she just shy but sorry? Besides I don't think we've told anybody anything about anyone else other than our self.
Do the others know about the people hunting Laura?

>>28422693
Wait, do they? Having a shady organization with assassins and advanced technology is something they should know about

Do remember we told the others that Wed give them the story about the orphanage.
And its about damn time to help Laura with her rogue Canadian agency thing

>>28422693
The devil people remark from earlier makes me think she's the religious type, so I think she feels kinda bad about stealing, it was that or starve.

and the others are aware of the Facility, we had a dorm meeting awhile back. powers and back stories were shared.

>[X] Tell everyone Gabriella was the thief.

The presence of a third companion does not go unnoticed as you trail in. Not for long, anyway – Kevin is, for the most part, heavily involved in the operation of your apparently quite arcane stove, and leaving Noriko to gawk alone for a moment. By the time he joins her she’s gotten her face all in order and is no longer staring at the long, thick tail that swings in Gabriella’s wake, but that look was enough to stop the younger girl in her tracks.

Briefly, you glance about for Layla, finding her asleep on the mattress.

“This is Gabriella.” They look from her eyes to yours. You ignore it, turning back to her. “These guys are Noriko and Kevin. They’re okay.”

“Just okay?” Notes Noriko.

Kevin supplies a nervous little wave, which Gabriella hurriedly mirrors, her tail following her hand and shaking behind her.

“She’s been taking our stuff”–

A bright, blue arc wraps its way around Noriko’s head, before vanishing as spontaneously as it appeared. You raise your hands and your voice.

–“But! As you can see, she kind of needed it. We muties have to look after each other, right?”

Kevin seems to take it okay. Noriko offers up a grudging semblance of agreement that doesn’t help much to stem the nervous adrenaline hanging around your newcomer, but hopefully she’ll get over it. You can’t blame her for being a bit grumpy.

Surge is probably still a bit miffed at Gaby (she'll get over it eventually)

but I think we might anger her if we get on her case about powers training

kinda skittish on putting Kevin to work with our new found knowledge of Kevin's powers feel good he uses it like it whispers to him.

maybe have Laura tail him, just to be safe.

I'm just worried he'll get in an accident.

>>28422944
Easy enough to avoid, just ask her how she's holding up, she'll likely expose something herself. The trick is to make them do it by themselves rather than be bullheaded about it.

>[X] Eat.
>[X] Tell everyone Gaby might be able to help you with something.
>[X] Tell Kevin he can sign up at the Bugle with you tomorrow.

You sit down to eat, motioning for Gabriella to join you. Laura takes one look at the unrecognizable mush-meat bubbling away in the stove and, apparently, decides to abstain for now. You don’t blame her – one bite is enough to tell you that Kevin’s cooking has not improved by leaps and bounds. Where’s that salt, Kevin? Where the fuck is that salt?

You refrain from bitching at the walking funeral’s culinary skills. Everyone’s already a little on edge, and while you’re sure a bit of constructive criticism wouldn’t throw Kevin’s chill off, you’re not one to push.

“So, uh, this may seem a little weird, I guess…” The looks you are treated to in return seem to confirm this. “…but Gabriella might be able to help me with… with something.”

“Gaby is fine.” She murmurs.

“Okay.” You nod. “Oh, uh, Kev. You good for showing up at the Bugle tomorrow?”

He shrugs. “Yeah, I guess. Not much else to do.”

“Cool. Maybe afterwards we can furnish this place up a little more.” You cast your eyes over the rotten old mattress Layla is currently snoring into. “I didn’t have a house of six in mind when we dragged this crap up.”

You pause to shove another lump of mystery meat into your mouth. Then, abruptly, Noriko speaks up:

“Are you two… related, or something?”

You hear Gaby sputter around a mouthful of food.

You chew your food slowly. You can feel Laura’s eyes on you again. For a long moment, before you finally decide to swallow, even you’re not sure exactly what the answer’s gonna be here.

“Apparently we used to see the same doctor.”

Another mouthful.

“Who was my dad, I guess.”

You don’t look up. You just fork yourself some more Ford Kitchen mystery meat and munch away. Somebody whistles, and an awkward silence settles across the apartment, dispersed only by Laura’s apparent immunity to such things and the steady, wet snores arising from Layla’s corner.

Eventually, you decide to catch an early night. You tell Gaby you hope she sticks around and head over to the sofa, settling in. Silence surrounds you, till eventually, you tune in to the low murmur of conversation sparking up between Kevin and Gabriella, and from there you amble off into the long, starry passageways of dreamtime…

>>28423514
>maybe only 60%crack bitch now

>(2/3 actually)

You stare at the ceiling, half-understanding, half-drifting, painting it with figures torn from the black of sleep. They burn on the edge of being real – yesterday, today, tomorrow, you swim, you draw, you feel the notes whisper beneath your fingers. Things out of picture books insinuate themselves into images of your life – you draw yourself, older than you are here, old and cool and interesting, swordfighting back to back with Captain America Thor Iron Man Somebody, the setting an upturned, gigantic beaker. They populate the shadows beside your nightstand, over your bed, atop the closet on the other side of the room.

Someone breathes out heavily. In an instant, the Captain Americas and the Thors become quivering, snarling hands. You bite your lip and dare to sit up.

Your father sits on the other side of the room, stooped among the shadows, his elbows propped up upon his knees. You feel the tension slip away. It’s just your dad. You watch him as he watches the ground, as if staring into some great, dark expanse, his fingers occasionally kneading along his forehead. He looks tired. His expression is strange. You don’t understand it.

He looks up at you, as if suddenly realizing that you’re awake. His mouth moves. He–

“Pitt-Hopkins syndrome appears when the TCF4 gene is insufficiently developed or unrecognized somehow. Generally, it is associated with the following symptoms: stereotypic movements, severe intellectual impediment, underdeveloped language centres, hyperventilation, cryptorchidism, hypotonic, intermittent seizures…”

Your sister brushes the sweat off your forehead. Her hands are cool. Her skin is bright white porcelain and her eyes are black. She leans over you and smiles, you smile back. She vomits blood into your nose.

>>28423794
>She vomits blood into your nose.
wut

>>28423794
>She leans over you and smiles, you smile back. She vomits blood into your nose.

>She vomits blood into your nose.

>>28423794
>She vomits blood into your nose.

Oh no, sis! That's not how bukakke works!

>(3/3)

You open your eyes.

The light is like a whip in your face. You grunt and try to, through some new mutant power maybe, wave it away. No such like - the sun is, apparently, there to stay. For a few hours, at least.

Instead of banishing the sun as intended, you notice that your hands are… alright. You blink, and they stay alright. The burns are gone – the angry red, the tense, cauterized sensation in your tissues, it’s all gone. You’ve shrugged it off overnight.

Huh.

Wiping sleep from your eyes, you sit up, checking your watch. 5:25, AM. The apartment snoozes around you – Noriko has curled up with Layla, or at least nearby her. Kevin’s taken one of the chairs, as has Gaby (you think it’s time to replace those with another couch or two). Laura, as far as you can tell, is nowhere to be seen. Running or yoga-ing, you guess.

You shuffle off the couch and stretch.

>[X] Wake up Kevin.

You plod over to the unconscious Kevin and, careful not to get even remotely near any kind of exposed skin, shake him up a bit. And a bit more.

Eventually, he groans his way into wakefulness, squinting through the early-morning light at you. A little later, after some explaining about work entailing actually getting up and being ready and stuff, he pitches himself off the seat. He coughs a little wretchedly, and breaths into his gloves, recoiling in disgust.

“Hey, JJ.” His voice crackles with the temporary exhaustion of dawn. “On a scale of one to ten, how luxury would you consider toothpaste?”

You stop to think. Hmm.

“Maybe a seven? Six? Somewhere in that area.”

“Right.”

You make your way out. It’s a cold and clear day outside, clouds few and far between. Doesn’t appear to have been snowing overnight, either. The first few minutes are made of tired silence, but soon Kevin manages to be just about awkward enough to force a conversation into being.

>[ ] Talk about anything particular on the way? [insert topic]

"There's this kid named Peter. he's cool."

>>28424159

>>28424159

>>28424191
He did help us out a couple of times at the Bugle, that's how we got this job.

>>28424159
Oh yeah, good idea, mentioning Peter. Definitely give Kev a head's up that you might take a few minutes to talk to him if you get the chance.

>>28424262

Agreed.

>>28424230
>that's how we got this job.

We got it by signing up.

>>28424191

>>28424145
This.

>>28424275
And then a natural 1, losing our spaghetti, and Peter signing us up for the next day.

>>28424281

Yup. But should we mention that bit to Kevin now?

>[X] Talk

You try to avoid as much crowding as possible – not a particularly simple task in New York, but necessary. You both agree that another incident involving skin-to-dust contact is unfavourable at best. On your way, you try to get a bead on how Kevin’s dealing with the hobo life, exactly.

The results are… inconclusive. He’s not really one to talk much on the subject. Mostly you get him brushing it off and insisting that, well, it’s just something we gotta deal with, right? It’s strangely fatalistic for someone relatively new to the whole deal. Maybe he’s just a realist, or maybe he doesn’t like getting his hopes up, but you get the distinct impression that Kevin is far smarter than he tends to let on, and a guy like him should be thinking about… directions and stuff. If it weren’t such a crazy notion, you’d almost say he thinks he should be here.

As you guys approach the Bugle, you check your watch (6:20), and give Kevin a heads up about Peter. You’re hoping to touch base with that kid, find out what was up last time. You also make sure to tell him to just get gone if something goes awry – no point in outing yourselves over some sidewalk job.

You get in and sign up, pretty comfortable with going through the motions by now. You feel like you’re sneaking something past school security when you introduce Kevin, Vanessa tells you she can put him down for tomorrow, which seems fine with him.

As you head for the backroom and your stack, offers to go pick up some groceries. Apparently you’re running low again.

>[X] Actually, you could do with some company...

“We can get that stuff on the way back.” You state. Of course, that’s mostly just a sort of… entryway into the real problem you have with Kevin’s proposed shopping trip. “Besides, uh… considering what happened last time… you know…”

He sighs, and dabs at the dark, greyish bruise-remnants around his eye. “Yeah, I guess.”

“You alright, by the way?” You can’t help but notice that he’s kind of been… squeezing himself up as thin as possible (and he’s already a pretty scrawny guy). His hands have delved so deep into his pockets, they’re liable to unearth a Balrog if he goes any further, his shoulders are fastened tightly in place, and he’s walking with small, fast steps.

“Oh… yeah, yeah, mostly.” He glances about as you enter the long, thin corridor where the papers are stacked in haphazard rows. A whistle plays at his lips. “I’m just not too comfortable with people getting close. Obviously.”

“Yeah…” You almost wince for him. He really did get such a shitty deal…

Hoisting up a nice, big stack of (probably) lies about Spider-Man, you turn toward the exit… just in time to see Parker shut the door behind him, a half-eaten apple dominating much of his lower face. His eyes open up like big hazel dishes at the sight of you.

“…Hwy.”

>>28424822
Alright, who the hell has Pitt-hopkins?
Makes you retarded and gives you deformities...

Is JJ the one?

>>28424761
Yeah, I guess if you can assume a steady diet at some point, it'll vanish. It'd reappear if you found yourself stranded or whatever.

>>28424878
I... have not thought about Cable at all. Huh.

>>28424824
It's a meme that's all over the chan. I don't know how it started, though. Maybe something to do with ridiculing 'This is a christian board!' posts?

>>28424860
Will we come across D-list or lower super villains in our day to day life? Like Batroc the Leaper or something?

>>28424927
Yeah, but in like disguise, not in costume.

>>28424908
Interesting. Any other big-names looking to make an appearance anytime soon?

What about Domino?

>>28424860
Hey, Crusty, I'm not sure if we went over this before, but is Senator Kelly still active and promoting anti-mutant stuff?

>>28424908
Is Pitt-Hopkins just a random sciency thing that JJ's dad would say or is that supposed to be some sort of clue?

Is the cure to Pitt-Hopkins to turn your kid mutie?

>>28424897
I may do so. I guess there could be abuse, but I think a great deal of the heated competition is gone from the power votes. For now.

>>28424927
That can happen.

So am i the only noticed x-23 sudden change in demeanor/behavior?

>>28424965
Nope, the rest of use just assumed that it's her being cautious/pissed off at Ottermode.

>>28424964
What's it about?

>>28424935
Maaaaybe. There's only so many characters that WILL appear. Everyone so far, aside from Creeper (and his goons) and Gabriella have been the result of a random pick. Including Kevin and Noriko.

>>28425047
Well ever since our fathers full name and the company he worked/what he has done has been said, she has been awfully quiet and distanced.
Its as if she suspects we are lying to her or something like that.

>>28425047
She probably knew Gabby was a girl before we did.
But after we've held hands so many times, she should know better than to be jelly.

>>28425047
Sudden mutant shows up with connection to JJ is slightly suspicious, could be she thinks Ottermode is some kind of labgrown super JJ with the wrong parts.

Or she's just angry that she knocked JJ about again.

>>28425024
Set pool. The stuff on random event rolls are drawn from this same pool.

>>28425084
I think it's just caution about random new person, plus her getting antsy about her situation, we convinced her to stay in Jew York, but she isn't getting any closer to her own goals.

Need to do a mission for her.

>>28425104
quick question do invisibility and senses change after the power shift and was gabby our speed build?(so our sister was the defense build)
And can you show us what their starting skills would have been?

>>28425114
true, but i still think we need to talk to her since it seems like she might know more about our father.

>>28425130
They change... and they don't change. You'll see what I mean.

And yeah, Joyce and Gaby are the Tank and Mobility builds, respectively. Joyce's starting package is Enhanced Strength and Heavy Dermal Armour, Gaby's is Teleportation and Enhanced Agility.

ah, good old paranoia

top 3 reasons
Paranoia
Mad at Gaby
Jealous over divided attention

I think its more the latter two

the former would involve trust loss, and I reason such changes would be in the pastebin/ end of thread.


we should totes offer to help her someday though. She's done a lot for us. It would only be fair.

>>28425104
>>28425130
>after the power shift
Do our other builds go through a power shift as well?

>>28425184
It can happen.

>>28425176
We've got 2 favors for her already, we should add one more to the list for everything she's done.

>>28425176
do you nor know who x-23 as a character is?
Paranoia is always the number 1 reason followed by suffering.
>>28425161
thanks for confirming our sister is alive.

>>28425202
Fumbled mah trip.

Glorious good or glorious hilariously bad?

>We should sit down with Laura tonight and talk about What the Fuck, seriously, what the fuck. This has not been a calm week. My dad might have done something to me and what the hell does Roxxon want with doctors who muck with mutants and why the fuck do I have the same eyes as that girl. Laura, right now you are my one point of sanity...please tell me I'm still sane"

that's where we should be headed. We may be on the verge of breakdown.

>>28425222
good

its hilarious

only 5 issues. not much catching up.

>>28425208
just saying she isn't paranoid at us

>>28425208
Well, just so you guys know, you'be be in basically the same situation as you were at the start of the thread had you picked Joyce's set.

You'd just have an older sibling with either Invisibility/Supersenses or Teleportation/Agility instead. Oh, and a different phobia.

>>28425236
Yes. I am all for a word for word of this with her. And then we hold hands and talk it out.

>>28425236
More like doing missions that involve doing shit she wants to get done. Didn't she want to hit some facility strongholds?

>>28425256

What is her current phobia?

>>28425256
do Gaby and Joyce have phobias?

can you share them?

>>28425279
>>28425285
They do indeed.

Buuuut revealing them could potentially take away an opportunity to watch you guys squirm, so...

>>28425313

I understand. Well, could you at least how close we are to meeting Joyce?

Not in a direct sense, but rather "You're pretty cold right about now" or "Lukewarm, at the moment." or something like that.

>>28425313
Maybe Joyce would've had one we knew already? She is our older sister after all.

>>28425322
Dude, she lurks in the shadows constantly, ready to pounce.

>>28425313
Noriko and kevin have a fear of human contact and Laura is afriad of crowds right?

>>28425335
She's always been with us. Literally, just out of sight like a giant porcelain ninja.

>>28425322
...You're not close.

>>28425313
Is gabby part of the marvel universe?

Also does freddy krueger exist found out he had a comic published by marvel

>>28425352
Noriko isn't really afraid of it so much as it is inconvenient and can cause trouble. Kevin is only afraid of it because he doesn't want to hurt people.

Laura isn't so much afraid of crowds as of being exposed. And it's more of an anxiety than a straight-up fear.

>>28425358
>...You're not close.

Alright. Thanks for telling us, at least.

>>28424985
“Chromosome 18 is one of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes present in human beings. It is composed along roughly eighty-five million base pairs, tallying to approximately 2.5 percent of the combined DNA in human cells. It contains somewhere between three hundred and four hundred genes, among these, the genes responsible for various genetic diseases and disorders – including but not limited to; Niemann–Pick disease, Edwards syndrome (or Trisomy 18), porphyria, Pitt–Hopkins syndrome, selective mutism, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia…”

So, I'm guessing the x-gene is on 18, and JJ's dad was super fucking interested in that area, probably a specialist, but that doesn't mean that JJ has any of the listed genetic defects.

But JJ is a strange as fuck mutant...

Is JJ's X-gene mutated or something? Mutiception?

>>28425358
so how long until the power shift is complete and will something special happen?(i'm hoping its a ways ahead since i prefer for us to upgrade our other powers first.)

>>28425375
pretty sure Gaby is original character

>>28425358
If this twinkie (holds up twinkie) represents the usual amount of X-Gene change activity within a singular mutant during their life span...how large a Twinkie does our present scale and frequency need to represent.

Also, considering he's been published by Marvel, Does the Doctor with a Blue Box exist in your continuity.

>>28425402
Nah just a rule 63 of night crawler.

Is Gabby related to Victor Alvarez?

>>28425375
>Is gabby part of the marvel universe?

Of course not!

>>28425375
Nope and nope.

>>28425396
That partially depends on you. It's less a matter of time and more of overcoming.

>>28425404
The twinkie is at least five times as big.

...Sure. Why not?

>>28425395
pretty sure we're a science experiment

>>28425416
Nope, she's just a random Alvarez.

>>28425404
>If this twinkie (holds up twinkie)
>(holds up twinkie)

Fuck off.

>>28425431
Or a rather rare sample of a genetic phenomena.

Alternatively, he could have been a doctor specializing in disorders of chromosome 18, perhaps mutants who have such rare disorders (seriously mutant + 1/1000000 genetic disease?) do not show expression of those disorders. With the exception of strangely blue eyes, being unique to these cases.

Gaby/JJ could be examples of this.

Thread archived.

>>28425454
Yes, but we were sent back in time when we were a baby. "Dad" adopted us because the comic adoption process is laughably easy.

>>28425451
Continuation

So JJ's dad could have studied JJ's DNA to attempt to figure out how the x-gene picks up the slack of those genetic diseases.

Can't wait when the gang finds out that JJ can now lift a car.
"Ok, that's just unfair."
"JJ how many powers you've got now?"
"Errr... let's see, invisibility, enhanced senses, wallclimbing, electric touch, nightvision, heat vision, healing factor, enhanced agility, supestrenght and I guess retractable claws and fangs?"
"What the hell JJ?"
"You're hitting double digits you bastard."
