"Kind of gotta hand these papers out, y'know?"

How good is J.J. at playing the piano?

Could JJ's alias be Green Gene?

Another idea for asides/omakes: Writing the bits with Peter recognizing us and thinking about what he should do about the situation. I think it might be fun for some insight, and only after we realize or are told he's Spider-Man.

How tall are all the characters currently?

"Wanted to apologize for blowing up like that earlier. Oh, and that is Kevin. Kevin, that is Peter."

>>28453862

Yeah, I think we should introduce Kevin and Peter.

And maybe an apology, though he did bring up a rather touchy and controversial subject in public.

>>28453847

>>28453820

>[X] Ask him if he’d mind meeting you later (talk elsewhere).

“Hey, Peter.” You’re dying to have a little chat with this guy, but…

Your eyes roll across the corridor. A few rooms down, the intermittent march of the presses reminds you just how little privacy this place offers. You are in a building full of people who take pictures of people like you, write stories about people like you, and constantly harry people like you for the former or the latter or if possible both.

“You mind if we met up later? Somewhere else?” Just in case you’re misreading things entirely and that was creepy rather than conspiratorial, you add: “Just wanted to apologize for sperging all out before. Oh, and this is Kevin.” You nudge your stack of papers toward the black-clad teen. “He’s okay.”

“Uhh…” Peter seems to consider it for a moment, before swallowing the bite of apple and nodding cautiously. “…Yeah? I guess that’d be fine. I’ve got class till three-thirty, but after that I’m… mostly free. You want to meet at a mall or something?”

Urgh. Kids and their gratuitously large shopping centres.

“Actually…”

Malls really aren’t your style. Lots of people. Lots of people that could be anyone. Also, technically private property (of the whichever whatever company), and probably teeming with Mutant Control Officers. You don’t want to bump into somebody and shock them by… shocking them, with your shocking taser hands.

“…I was thinking more along the lines of parks.”

“Well… okay. Sure. I'm not really a mall guy either, to be honest. You just...” He pauses, and cringes very slightly. “...tend to end up at them, I guess.”

You figure out a time and an exact place with Peter, and say your goodbyes, settling on a 6’o’clock meeting on the far side of the nearby park (a fair bit away from the spot you meet Creeper at). Lots of trees there, and the benches tend to sit far out away from the path, away from any overly-curious joggers.

You and Kevin head out on to the streets and make your way toward your usual spot.

How close is it to Christmas in universe?

should we get some small gifts for everyone?

its probably Layla's first Christmas without her family and I bet Laura's never got a present in her life. And I figure we might as well get something for the others while we're at it.

Funds are a concern but would the Bugle give a Christmas bonus?

>17
>Bugle ninja

You make it in good time, and have a little while to catch your breath before the washed (relative to you) masses come surging out of the subway. You wonder how long this rush will keep up before Christmas (people gotta have their holidays soon, right?), but then you remember that this is New York. No one here knows how to shut down. If what you learned from Creeper is any indication, even the criminal element never truly relax – it wasn’t as easy to see then, but in hindsight, everything was a paranoid, torrid mess, and it never ever let up. Not for a second.

You and Kevin make a little small talk as you hand out papers. You bring up this pretty little idea you had involving a whole ton of glue, but he shoots it down, stating that he’s “not gonna become Glue-Man, dude.” To be fair, he does seem to be making progress – more than Noriko, anyhow. He asks whether the whole Bugle thing is always this boring, and you confirm that yes, yes it most certainly is. You can’t help but start considering food as the hours wear on, and that leads you on to something else you’ve been wondering.

“Kevin? How do you eat?”

He shrugs. Apparently he’s given it some thought, too, but his guess is as good as yours. Maybe his powers just don’t work that way, is his best suggestion. Maybe it’s all psychosomatic, and he’s only disintegrating crap out of some kind of fear, is yours (though, you don’t voice it).

By 10:20, the crowds have begun to thin, and you’re down to your last few papers. It doesn’t take long to shift them, and, as usual, you keep the last copy for yourself.

“That was ass.” Notes Kevin. You agree, and wish him a very merry time when he has a go tomorrow.

“You hungry?” You ask, very un-subtly massaging your belly. “You ready to digest some food?”

“I could digest some food.” Replies Kevin. You’re glad that he’s sprouting some ability to respond to humour. Half of surviving on the streets is tricking yourself into feeling a little better about the whole deal (the other half is much less Disneyesque), and when you ran into him he wasn’t exactly the most comical guy around. For obvious reasons.

You guys pay up for a pair of hotdogs, and you glance over the paper while you munch yours down, mostly to distract yourself from the mysterious assortment of possibly unethical ingredients your improved sense of taste picks out.

You flip past the whatever about Spider-Man on the front page, scanning the rest of the paper for anything particularly relevant to your situation. There’s no follow-up on your exploits, but there is a small article about suspected Brotherhood members clashing with police upstate. Apparently they broke into some superhuman containment centre, but nobody's revealing who or what they were after.

Well, the Brotherhood are always in the news. They used to be front page stuff, but ever since Magneto flattened Genosha… everything else has seemed a little petty and small.

Folding away the paper, you make your way back up to the Bugle. It doesn’t take long – by 11’o’clock you’re in and out again, and $60 richer.

“What now?”

We can do the right thing at another point in time, plus we can get karma points in other ways.

Now? Now you succeed where you have once failed.

Or, at the very least, someone nearby will succeed. Someone called Kevin.

“I thought we should pick up some phones, actually.” You suggest, quickly adding: “Cheap ones, of course.”

Kevin raises his eyebrows in surprise. “Not a bad idea. Though, Noriko…”

You frown. Well, you’ll have to cross that bridge when you come to it. Even that means dragging a reluctant halfpunk Japanese teenager along with you. Having a network to work with will just make things so much easier.

You make your way down the high street, toward shopping central. Eventually, you find yourself passing by the site of your truly unmentionable failure (on the other side of the road, of course). You stop, and clear your throat awkwardly, burrowing into your pockets for a few notes.

“Uh… Kevin?”

“Yeah?”

“Take this.” You shove a bundle of green paper into his hands. He shoots you quizzical stare.

“…I’m going in on my own, am I?” Asks Kevin, a note of suspicion invading his tone.

“Yep.”

“…And I’m getting how many of these things?”

You cock your head in consideration. Well, you’re not getting one for Noriko, obviously. And you can’t see Gabriella going anywhere, what with her being the amazing otter lass an’ all. Does Layla really need one?

“Four? Four is good.” You nod in confirmation.

“…Okay.” He stares at you a little longer, as though that will eke something out of you, before heading across the road. Just before he passes into the store, he shoots you another long, bemused stare.

A minute passes. Then three. Then six. Rearing up like a terrible, slobbering beast, the memory of what happened last time Kevin was on an errand surfaces from the deep end of your mind.

You push the thought aside and think about other things. Like, y’know, stuff. Things that aren’t Kevin turning some clerk’s hands to dust.

You’ve gotta pick up more furniture, haven’t you? You’re not looking forwards to lugging that crap upstairs – assuming you can pick anything good out of the scar. What else is there? Oh, yeah, Laura and her stuff. That’s important. You’ve been thinking about maybe getting your hands on a camera, too. What if you could get pictures for the Bugle? Stuff that no one else could catch? You’d need someone to keep you up to speed on crap going down all over the city… but you do know a few people that still work for Creeper. People that might be willing to keep tabs on certain stuff for you.

You frown to yourself. How many faces from the good old days can you trust? How many would even be willing to talk?

Your patience is rewarded when Kevin comes trailing out of the store, waving over the road at you. Whew. He jogs over and shakes the contents of a plastic bag demonstratively, smiling a small, unobtrusive smile.

“Four crappy phones.” He reaches into his pocket and hands you a few leftover notes. You count under your breath.

>[X] Pick up groceries.

Heading vaguely in the direction of home, you stop by one of the local 7/11’s for supplies. You guys are running low already – a fact that troubles you pretty deeply. There’s six of you now, and as much as you wish otherwise, sixty dollars a day is not going to cut it much longer. With Kevin joining the workforce, you can bring $160 in after a day of work, but that assumes that you can both keep it up, and you can get regular spots, and nothing happens to all that delicious money.

You’ve already found that one some days the Bugle just can’t fit you in, so what happens the next time there’s a few days without work?

You pick up a few bottles of water, some assorted meat & veg, and some additions to your array of spices (some would call that a luxury unbefitting of hobodom, but you would call out such folk as the plebians of the vagabond community. Your spices can mean the difference between a filling meal and a REALLY filling meal).

The guy at the counter checks your stuff out and you head back onto the streets, coiling up a little against the cold. Fuck this clear sky. Snow is better than this.

Point of order. I understand a camera is not a necessity. I wasn't suggesting we go to a top of the line store and buy the newest nikon. I was suggesting we look at a thrift shop and maybe find something that looks like it was last used in the 80's. maybe it has a cracked lens. maybe its an ugly monstrosity no real photographer would use. Maybe thats why we'd love it. because it reminds us of ourselves. We haggle and pick it up for $20. You'd be surprised what you can pick up in a second hand store for cheap. I wouldn't expect to make bank with it either. I would expect to make pictures. (man I need to find my dads old cannon and do a picture run again). But still most people seem against it for now and as always I follow the will of our collective.

>>28456531
Nikons fucking suck. Easily the worst of the big three Japanese firms right now.

Anyways. The only cameras we could afford right now are either stolen by us, by some other goons, or a 35mm, none of which is a good option right now.

>>28456559

And we are done work by like 11, maybe there's an internship we can do. Lots of big companies don't just have college internships, but internships in general.

So we're not going to go bump our karma by doing the right thing then? Because.
>>28456418
Go drop a few bucks with a note at the thrift store, go in invisible.

>>28456531
true, but if you followed last time vote they expected for our character to be selling pictures to the bugle and print out high quality pictures up to snuff of a newspaper.
They did not count the cost of a good camera, the cost of developing the pictures, and assumed the peter parker of this universe was also a photographer.
I'm surprised people didn't choose for us to learn another instrument or know astronomy(could help with navigation), or even gambling since it makes since for our character to know.

>>28456609

has Crusty ever stated that going back and paying for the gloves would give karma?

>>28456609
>even gambling

>>28456566
>Nikons fucking suck. Easily the worst of the big three Japanese firms right now.

I get that you are knowledgeable about cameras and having the ability to impart some of the knowledge onto something you enjoy or people you enjoy playing with is a treat. However as a fellow player who knows nothing of cameras and honestly wanted something that made more sense that sort of comment makes me think "We are a fucking hobo" and "I really do not give a fuck about god damn camera brands." Followed by snide accusations about you pushing up your sepia toned thick rimmed lenseless glasses.

Though the latter is because I am drunk as hell. Seriously, can we stop talking about camera brands and stuff like that until it is particularly relevant.

>>28456609
I would have voted for writing but Crusty didn't give us that option.

>>28456661
No, but it's happened before, and it's the kind of thing we've been doing.

>>28456661
I don't know, or care. I just want to do the right thing. I have so many other games where I can be morally gray or shit. I sort of want to be like captain america, Actually doing the right thing because it's right.

>>28456609
Yea, I mean the photography is ridiculously expensive to get started in and it's pretty much an adult hobby.
I just don't see where or why he would have picked that up.

>>28456649
i was reading the archive before this thread about the new Shadow quest (the thread before the one i was reading some one suggested a full proof plan to help us in a fight)and people wanted to rush in and ignore the advantage that given to us.

>>28456661
>and protection rackets aren't a one and done. Its on a schedule, weekly or monthly most likely
And? the reason we didn't pay last time was because they were there, the place still needs support if we want to keep our cheap hobo goodies.

There are more than one thrift stores in existence, you know.

>>28456750

>[X] Write in (blankets woo!).

You check the time. 12:30.

Hmm.

As you make your way across the icy streets, Kevin mentions that Gabriella probably needs another blanket, and he’s right. Layla could do with one too – she’s been sharing with whoever’s able, as far as you can tell. Generally Noriko, but you’ve noticed her wrapped up in Laura’s when the green-eyed girl is off running or yoga-ing or doing whatever she does when she’s not around.

Man, you hope she’s not poking around after those… guys. The bad guys you don’t actually know too much about.

You two stop in at a furniture store, awkwardly shuffling your way through the crowds of pretty-smelling people (not as pretty as they think, though. Can’t fool that JJ nose. You know what that guy checking out the double beds did a short while ago, and he should be ashamed). You come to a tottering shelf stuffed with duvets and blankets of all shapes, sizes and themes, and start sifting through them for the cheapest price tag.

>>28456729
>>28456683
>>28456681

we have 6 people to fed, cloth, and other miscellaneous expenditures.
stop metagaming for one lousy karma point.

>>28456761
No one is saying we should. stopping putting words in people's mouths. It was a one time thing.

>>28456806
>Has never been present for any of the past threads.
We USED to mug people, now we help drug addicted kids and shit.

Because we're not a gigantic faggot.

I don't mind going back and paying for the gloves.
However I'd rather do that after talking with peter on the offchance we get sidetracked ther.

>>28456827
Why are we buying blankets instead of getting them from the place we got them last time?

>(2/2)

Soon the rustling quiet begins to put words in your mouth.

“Hey…” You begin, frowning a little. “Do you maybe know why Noriko’s sort of… avoiding… her problem?”

Kevin sighs, and tiptoes up to grab a duvet from one of the higher shelves.

“I’m not sure, man. I mean… she’s not a very open person.” Shaking his head at the price tag, he shoves it back. “I guess she’s had her powers longer than me. Maybe she just doesn’t think it can be controlled. I know she tried, before I ran into her.”

Dragging out another blanket, he smiles half-heartedly, and shoves it at you.

“This looks good.”

You look down. It’s blue and red and covered in Spider-Man. You grin lopsidedly.

“Hah. Think they have it in Magneto?”

Kevin snickers quietly. “I doubt it, dude.”

Picking out a pair of cheap options, Kevin queues up – again, at your request – and meets you outside a few minutes later. You yawn, and stare out over the greying New York skyline, toward the noticeable indent where the scar cuts into the city.

It really is huge. They've gotta start cleaning it up soon. When the winter chill fades, maybe?

>[ ] Pick up [insert].

Just so you guys know, I'm totally not awarding a karma point for paying up on those gloves.

Maybe we can get Laura to chop up a trash can for us so we can get a small hobofire going in the apartment at all times. I don't know about fuel, since most cheap woods sold at gas stations tend to be super smoky hardwoods, and it's not like we're getting gas.

Also, maybe go looting/exploring around the scar? We've got time before it's dark, and might as well put that Enhanced STR 2 to work.

>>28456921

>>28456910

we gave 5 dollars to that hobo for Karma

>>28456880

>>28456821

2.that shit will be seen by other people
3.you are expecting us to pay 20 dollars for a possible chance to get money.

>>28456956
he means if its under $5, it ain't getting karma.

gloves were under $5 apparently

>>28456910
That's not why I'm advocating it.

I'm doing so because it would be consistent with previous behavior.

>>28456962
Digital is more usable by the homeless and the vagrant than 35mm is.

I mean...c'mon. The cold by itself will wreck 35mm.

I beg you faggots to stop with the thrift shop shit, a trip in the cold is not worth losing 5.

We are not Captain America
We are a Homeless mutant trying to make a living.

>>28456910
fair enough. Still going for it, though.

>>28456979
Heh, maybe if we're feeling generous, we can tip him.

>>28456956
You gave him money even after he was an asshole to you. That's what the karma was for. You demonstrated forgiveness an' stuff.

You head back to the scar, to your sea of cold indifferent sanctuary, burdened by a surprisingly light surplus of bags. The wicked wind whispers and moans (and you’re sure that’s a line from a song), and you wrap yourself up tightly, squinting through the icy breeze. You hope there’s some real clouds around tomorrow.

The evening is just drawing in when you arrive in the shadow of your blasted home. You head up the stairs, Kevin sniffling in the cold, dust-ridden dark.

“No, a Flush would be…” The voices emanating from your apartment quiet down as you approach. You enter to find Noriko sitting on her knees, the others arranged opposite, an assortment of playing cards spread along the floor. Laura and Noriko both hold a set in their hands. They look up at you, and then down at the various bags drooping along with you.

“…Oh, hey.” Says Noriko. “You brought… stuff?”

“Don’t worry!” Interjects Gabriella’s quiet, fervent voice. “We weren’t really gambling.”

“Yep.” You lean down onto the sofa, fishing the phones out of their bag. There is a collective “ahhh”, though you don’t count Laura’s voice in there. Well, you weren’t expecting to. “I figured we should have some way of keeping in touch. Laura gets one, I get one, Kevin gets one. And then the last one stays here.”

“Huh.” Layla leans back, looking a little surprised. “Good thinking.”

“I don’t get one?” Asks Noriko. A short moment passes in which every eye in the room simply stares at her in silence. She drops her chin into her palms, sighing glumly. “Right. I guess that makes sense. Why Kevin?”

“Kevin’s not a shut-in anymore.” You answer, a little teasingly. “Anyhow, would you two mind getting this food packed away? I’m gonna head out for some more furniture. We’re missing a bunk or two, I reckon.”
