Slowly, the spirit of Franz Liszt fades from your fingertips, and you open yourself back up to the world. The Tabbycat, all gold and glamour, closes around you, feeling less like reality than some dim, distant underworld. You retract your hands from the grand old piano and tug your gloves back on, fidgeting nervously. You almost wince as, behind you, Miss Hardy offers up a short succession of slow, pointed claps. You swivel around on your seat. “Well.” She stands, pacing toward you. “You certainly are a very talented young man.” She seems quite pleased. It’s hard to tell, though – that little smile of hers is a constant, never slipping. She glances momentarily toward Silvermane, who stares back in half-interested, stately silence. Eventually, he simply nods, and turns back to his drink. “It seems you have the job.” Yes! Fuck yes! “There are, however, a few matters I’d like to discuss. Your natural abilities, for example.”Less yes. “What exactly are you capable of?”>Present Time: 12:35>Current Funds: $145.50>Hunger Level: 6>[ ] “Do you really need to know>”>[ ] “I just look weird.” >[ ] “I can just [insert power].”>[ ] Full disclosure.

>>29005100>"I have retractable fangs."True, and largely useless for any nefarious purpose if that's what she wants to know for.

If she can't just accept us as a pianist then we're sorry for wasting her time.Do not fucking mention the Creeper!
What would it be like if J.J. came in contact with a Symbiote?The people who attacked JJ's house were his extended family, right?

We probably shouldn't mention our enhanced hearing. Otherwise they will know to be careful around us, the invisibility should be omitted as well. How about enhanced eye-sight, claws, and strength?
obviously we don't tell her everything, we're here to be a piano player not a mid boss for Silvermane. We do have to tell them something, they have the leverage here. We need this job more then they need us.the eyes and ears demand informing them of enhanced senses. maybe invisibility
>>29005100>>[ ] “Do you really need to know?”>>[ ] “I can just [insert power].”Tell her about our sesne smell and sight, and healing.>>29005320Yes, but i doubt he got attacked by them, my best guess is that the company he worked for hired some one to kill him or he was a positive figure head for mutants.>>29005331>claws, and strength?Bad since they can still be used wifor crime.
>>29005100>>[ ] “I just look weird.”
>>29005336Not that much detail needed for eyes and ears other than "They give me the power to not get a job". But they probably will find out about our powers anyway, so confirming the obvious ones would be smart.
>>29005241pretty sure it was just the purifiers doing what they do(assuming its them). "hey there's some muties over yonder. Lets kill them for Jesus!" The only mutie they like is a dead mutie.and a healing factor makes it harder for a symbiote to bond with the host. Wolverine from Mighty Avengers where symbiotes just showed up in mass in NY
>>29005358Leave out the strength then. claws by themselves aren't terribly useful. I really think we should leave the hearing out though. The last thing they'll want is someone with super hearing picking up things they shouldn't>>29005381I don't think she'll buy that.
>>29005100>>[ ] “Do you really need to know?”>>[ ] “I can just [insert power].”"I have heat vision. Claws. I'm stronger and faster than most normal people."Let's keep the invisibilty and taserhands up our sleeves, along with the extent of our physical abilities.
>>29005391>But they probably will find out about our powers anywayShort of asking the creeper i doubt it, since i believe he still only knows about our invisibility, and above average hearing.

You’re not exactly eager to plant any ideas about invisible thieves or super-strong thugs in this woman’s head. She doesn’t seem like the criminal type, exactly, but if you’re reading the signs correctly, she works for Silvermane. And he most certainly is the criminal type – hell, he’s the fucking archetype. “Do you really need to know?”Her reply is immediate and brutally curt: “I do. Anything that could be harmful to my clientele is something I need to know about.” Well, you guess that’s understandable. Annoying but understandable“I’m… well, I can see in the dark, and I’m pretty strong…” She nods silently as you try to offer up just enough of the truth so as to be believable. “…And I can go invisible.” She raises an eyebrow. “I see.” What was she expecting? That you’re radioactive, or something? That you’re actually made of spiders? Actually, you could totally see that. “Relatively inoffensive, I suppose. Now, on the subject of payment… eleven dollars per hour is the only offer. You won’t work every night, only when I have particular need of you.

And better than nothing is fine enough for you, at least for now. “Uh… could you give me some kind of timeframe? I mean, how many hours would I be working?” She nods, and beckons for you to walk with her. You get up and follow rather sheepishly, feeling vaguely like you’re about to be lead into a room full of lots of assorted leather instruments. “I can’t promise that your hours will be particularly stable, but they can range from six to eight. As for your schedule…” She leads you back down the stairs, motioning for Laura to follow. The younger girl straightens up immediately, as if she’s been given an order. Which is kinda weird. “…You’ll usually receive one on a week-by-week basis. I assume you have some means of contact?” “I have a phone.” “Good. Now, clearly…” She glances back at you, a critical gleam in her eyes. “…You fail to meet certain aesthetic standards.

>>29005865Laura is Sniktier though, right? Since she just recently regenerated from getting blasted full on in the face with radiation and was pretty much a skeleton from shoulders up.
>>29005978If I recall my comics correctly, Laura is ABOVE sniktier.Less durable, but much heal-ier.
>>29005978I think so. only her claws are coated in metal, so she doesn't have her's strained by adamantium poisoning like Wolvie and his full skelly coating.I think at least. and its Crusty's AU anyway,
>>29005869Maybe we can take some of it out of our pay? At least until we can afford other means.Could we use our claws for a trim, or will we have Laura play barber?
>>29006028Did they ever explain why she had two hand claws and a foot claw? Kirika Yashida had the three standard hand claws.
alright I have a plan. hear me out.we get noriko to melt some snow and the apartment has a bathtub if I recall correctly. just buy some soap and etc and we have hygiene and Noriko has something to do (acquiring water for bathing and drinking and cooking!"We can't keep doing B&E for showers forever guys
>>29006028Don't forget that Wolvie is partially fucked by the fact that he self-visualizes as having that full skeletal adamantium coating, so when any of it gets stripped off his body goes nuts trying to grow it back despite it being impossible. Laura could probably grow new claws without taking to bad a hit.
>>29006113cold baths. Lovely. Unless of course we can get a hold of a tin metal bath, put snow in it then get her to run her electricity through it untill it starts to steam
>>29006113The club locker room will have a shower. Until Noriko has some serious training we aren't letting her use her powers willynilly in the apartment. Or did you forget that she can't accurately direct her electricity yet?
>>29006154beggers can't be choosers>>29006157maybe our tazerhands could work instead?
>>29006207>maybe our tazerhands could work instead?That's like using a toaster while in the bathtub. Retard.
>>29006113Sounds feasible, we could use a resistance, put it inside a bathtub full of snow, ask Noriko to run some electricity through it and bam, instand hot water.
>>29006220I think he was implying to use them tomelt the snow you hoople head.
>>29006113There was the possibility of using beach showers. It'd take a while to get there, but it's an option.
>[X] “Yes.”>[X] Tips.“Yeah, I can try…” It won’t be easy, especially at first. You can’t be creeping your way into other people’s homes whenever the need to be hygienic comes upon you (that’s really an emergency thing. A creepy emergency thing). You’ll have to head down to the coast to use the public showers, which takes you a little out of your way. “It’ll be a little difficult at first, I mean”– “How you get it done doesn’t matter.” Interrupts Miss Hardy, as you make your way off the stairs, the bulk of the club opening up before you. “Just that you do.”Well, okay.“So…” You can’t help but flinch here. “What about tips? I mean, is there a policy on that?” In the corner of her face still visible to you, her smile lengthens very slightly, curving upward in a barely-perceptible arc. “It’s acceptable. Though, I can’t promise that my clients are the most generous types.” Right, criminals. Her heels clicking, she turns around, rooting you in place with her stare. “Well, that should be all. You can leave your contact details with Kathy – she’s minding the bar.” She turns to leave, heading toward one of the dim little alcoves arching into the side of the club, but glances back briefly: “If you want, you can indulge yourself in a drink, too. Tell her it’s on me.” Her eyes flash over Laura briefly. “And keep the minor away from anything alcoholic.” With that, she leaves you to make your own way out.

I feel like we should try to become a mutant rights activist. I mean, we can tell the real story. The story that people like Xavier can't tell. A rich bald guy talking about how oppressed he is is going to gather relatively little pity compared to "My sibling was murdered by mutant haters and I had to go on the move, I was nearly burnt alive but saved by a crime lord who I had to work for. Hobolife was pretty good until I met some younger mutant hobos, one of them being chased by some crazy scientists, the other two ODing on a dangerous drug so I had to get the hit called off and try to detox the both of them. Things were going OK until a 12 year old orphan moved in with us, as well as a mexican teleporting mutant. Then my meagre income couldn't supply our lavish lifestyle so I had to try and play the piano in what I'm pretty sure is a mob joint to feed us."JJ's life story is fucked up.

She eyes you a little suspiciously, but takes the information down anyway. You guess you can’t blame her – you do not, in any way, look the part of a pianist. You decide to decline the drink, mostly because you want to be up early tomorrow, and alcohol tends to go to your head. A night of incognisant, bleary oblivion would be a welcome relief, but the fallout not so much. You are an uncharacteristically busy hobo, and you have little time for play. Instead you decide to take a look around on your way out. The tables at the back, where the club turns into a succession of wooden burrows, appear to be game tables. Smoke-ridden men in various stages of old age glare bluntly at one another, looking up to acknowledge you – or anything else that makes a noise – only momentarily. They play basically everything, even stuff you can’t really tag a name to. You notice that there appears to be another stairwell heading down, though you’ve no idea where. Looks far too well-furnished to be storage, though.

While I was playing?” She pauses, fixing her gaze ahead of herself once more. You shiver as you pass out of the Tabbycat, into the bitter cold of the New York winter. “She asked how old I am…” Her stare stretches onward, strangely concertedly, as if recalling but straining to comprehend. “…and how long I have been homeless for. I lied, but I think she knows. She asked me if I was alright.” “Oh.” Relatively innocent, you guess. “I thought it was something else. You seemed kind of, um, hurried around her.” She blinks slowly, and for a moment seems to be about to bite her lip. “I… have difficulty resisting authority figures.”>Current Time: 12:41>[ ] Go home.>[ ] Do something else [write in].

And, so, she describes to you the various ways in which a human being can be conditioned. You find yourself growingly increasingly less comfortable as she moves on from waterboarding to exposure, from live burial to Chinese water torture, from sensory deprivation to sleep deprivation. The empty, unreasoning snarl of that woman from the church rears up in your mind. Jesus. You don’t have any particular idea how to respond to this, so, for the most part, you don’t. You make it back a little past one in the morning. The apartment is quiet, crowded with dark, prone shapes. You and Laura edge in quietly, careful not to wake anyone. Smell of stew clings to the air – they’ve kept leftovers around. You eat in silence. Eventually, you burrow into the sofa and send yourself off to sleep. Your dreams and quiet an unobtrusive, dark shadows moving between fields of mist. You ebb in and out, the mist sometimes an apartment, sometimes a windy beach, sometimes a girl.

>>29007366Crusty said a while back we might get to hell if we worked at it.Maybe we could claw our way out. Possibly literally.
So, while we're waiting, who wants to bet whether the Creeper sends us after Silvermane for our second job?

>>29007460or the Hellionshopefully he just wants us to spy on the bar
>>29007452That would depend whether or not we were there corporeally or at least had a host body to return to. If neither of those are the case I expect we'd be in Hell for awhile, though on the upside Hell is not a boring place,

>(2/2)The sun cuts through your eyelids. Mist flees, hissing wretchedly, into the corners of your eyes, strewing there. You groan, and glance at your watch, shivering a little as you become cognisant to the cold.>5:46 AMUrgh. Somewhere in the apartment, you can hear people chattering away. Sounds like Kevin and Gaby, maybe with some flecks of Layla. You make to get up, but quickly reel yourself in, becoming suddenly aware of the soft warmth nudging against your shoulder. You glance down, and find yourself looking at Laura’s sleeping face. She’s breathing in slow, even whispers of warm air, and you think she might even be snoring a little. You don’t think you’ve ever seen her actually sleep like this. Usually she just sort of dozes, like a cat. >[ ] Get up carefully. >[ ] Wake her up. >[ ] Rush to woooork. >[ ] Talk to the chatterers. >[ ] Write in.

>[X] Get up carefully. >[X] Rush to woooork. Right. This going to take some finesse. Stowing your breath, you slither across the couch, using your legs to shimmy your way to freedom. You stop occasionally as Laura stirs slightly, her warmth shifting across your shoulder, but eventually you make your way up without disturbing her sleep. Her eyelids flutter a little and she wrinkles her nose, but otherwise, she remains very much asleep.You guess a proper rest was a long time coming. And, with that, you bolt out the door. You hear hurried footfalls follow in your wake, Kevin crying out for you to wait up, but you can only afford to slow your pace a little, just long enough for him to catch up. There’s little time for morning pleasantries as you both rush your way down and out of the scar, conversation remaining at minimal as you struggle to push your way through the early-morning rush – all you really take in, aside from that he totally forgot about work, is that Gaby is teaching him Spanish now. Which is cool, you guess.You make it to the Bugle a little late, hurrying to grab your papers and go. No time to stop for a chat with Peter - Kevin tells you he might be back late, as he’s gonna go collect some degradables after work, and you part ways. You’re at your spot just in time to see that you’ve missed the initial rush. Curses. >Roll for paper handing

>>29007858>20>HEEEEEERE WE ARE!>BORN TO BE KINGS! Well, it’s time to take it to the limit. And possibly push it to the max. You channel all your ability to be annoying, to be overbearing, and to generally be a hobo you want to get rid of as soon as possible, into the singular art of handing out papers to dudes on the street. They fly from your grip almost too fast for you to keep count, your stack growing slimmer with every minute that goes by. Eventually, after two hours, you’re done. You’ve pushed it to the limit and reaped the rewards. And you are tired, holy shit. You stoop down at the curb and relax for a moment, envisaging the sweet, sweet sixty dollars that will make all that limit-pushing worthwhile. As you ponder your next move, a set of fingers tap lightly on your shoulder, eliciting the standard half-jump from you. You glance up, readying yourself to bolt. It’s some old guy – just as homeless as you, if his crusty attire and crustier beard are any indication – with bloodshot eyes and twitching fingers. He’s holding out a letter, as if urging you to take it. >Hunger Level: 4>Current Time: 8:45 AM>[ ] Take it.>[ ] Ask him what it is.>[ ] Tell him you don’t take suspicious letters from strangers.>[ ] Write in.

I'm guessing the letter says BOW BEFORE DOOM!
>[X] Take it.>[X] Ask him what it is.…Well, what’s the worst that could happen? Pushing your (very much warranted) suspicions aside, you take the letter, giving it a bemused stare. You were kinda expecting it to be made of cleverly folded Burger King wrappers, but no, it’s real. It has a fancy wax seal and everything. “Hey, uh, what is this?” You ask, but your greasy messenger is already trying his best to disappear into the crowd. He’s not succeeding, but you can tell it’s out of no particular need to be mysterious – you can smell fear on him. Tentatively, you open the letter. Inside is a simple note adorned with an address – you recognize it as a pier number, actually – and a few very floridly-written words: “7 PM”“Tonight.”“Bring the girl or the deal is off.”"-Creeper"Well, shit. >[ ] Go get your money.>[ ] Go pick up shopping [insert].>[ ] Go get food.>[ ] Write in.

>>29008544Hes an opportunist drug fiend.

If not, then we can just bail before the surprise is sprung and move the group.
>>29008544Yea, but Kingpin does I'm afraid.

>>29008593You do know knowing X-23 personality she would still go to the meeting place since she is ok with killing and doesn't want to be the sole reason we backed out of this.Also its our last job with him.
>>29008347>[ ] Go get your money.>[ ] Go get food
>>29008630It never ends. I don't think he would sell us to the Facility just for a couple of bucks, but sure is going to find a way to blackmail us into working for him.
>>29008654Not really, there are hints that he is with the brotherhood, and i doubt the brother hood likes the facility at all.
>>29008664Which is why we go now. Don't tell her.
>>29008701The address is for a pier number, but we should check his base just in case. Or gear up for an assault.
>>29008701>“Bring the girl or the deal is off.”Kev and Noriko's asses are riding on this deal.Laura and us can deal with it.
>>29008701So betray her trust, basically.
Back. And writing.
>>29008701Or we can just tell her that she doesn't need to come, seeing that we can just tell creeper that we've got the same powers as she does and then some, so there shouldn't be a problem.
>>29008741>Or gear up for an assault.we are hobos anon, what can we gear up with.
>>29008758I sort of wish we had super strenght when we punched creeper. Okay, not really but I kinda do.
>>29008771>lets kill one of Kingpin's top goons, who once saved our life oncerepercussions and guilt
>>29008758Eh, maybe not the best idea to tip our hand. We could just say we can handle whatever, but it probably won't work. We could have her watch as lookout and dive in to save us as we meet up, she'll be "there" but out of immediate risk.
>>29008766We've got enough money to get couple of Mosin Nagants, some bullets and that's about it.
>>29008766Hobo gear. Block doors and windows with junk, get rocks to chuck, pointy bits of metal, find a power outlet for Noriko to juice up on, whatever.
>>29008815we only have $145
>>29008827Yea, as I said 2x Mosing Nagants and like handful of bullets.
>>29008815from fucking who? we don't have the training to use them effectively anyway.and Noriko's electricity would explode the bullets while their still in the gun
>>29008834We're in New York, a Mosin Nagant will be at least 200 dollars
>>29008801Not sure how 'top' he is, but his death would de-stabilize the whole region and allow the Hellions to move in unopposed. Their extortions shenanigans would add fuel to the mutie hating camp.
>>29008834From where?We only have around 11 hours, no internet or address, and inside one of the most expensive cities to live in.
>>29008827205$ actually and Mosin Nagants are dirt cheap, we could get one for 75$ probably.
>>29008880>>29008834>>29008815Why are you guys trying to get guns in a Mutant quest?
Can we not try to be clever. Can't we just turn up with Laura, do whatever, not make any more enemies and save Kevin and Noriko? We are not going to able to kill creeper nor would it be a good idea.
>>29008873Right, forgot you'd sort of need an internet for that. Or an underground weapons dealerStill, I wasn't suggesting on getting a gun anyhow.
>>29008847Shit, we need to make Noriko an Amp
>>29008864he owns a piece of the city and pays up to Fisk, reason enough for Kingpin to get mad. plus he got (by way of our actions) him that tablet thing. the fact Fisk went to him for it implies a certain level of trust.
>>29008864......what if we get the hellions a anonymous tip about this meeting and let them crash it?we get to see creepers hand and have a chance to bail if its the hunters.
>>29008893I really agree with this post.No fucking clue why people want to kill Creeper. Plus the Hellions might end up doing that for us, anyway.
>>29008893I'm more perturbed by the power gamers trying to get weapons.
>>29008890All of those posts were mine, I was just saying that some guns aren't that expensive, not suggesting on actually getting one.
>>29008906how? we don't know where they live>>29008893this times a 1000X. We can always try to flee the city if Creeper asks too much of us.we're more crack bitch than mutant hero.
>>29008907Wanting to kill a person and actually doing it are two different things though.
>(1/2)>[X] Money.>[X] Shopping.>[X] Food.You head off to pick up your money in something of a daze. When you arrive at the Bugle, you smile and node to Vanessa with mechanical absence, the letter churning in your brain. The girl? You wondered who that was at first, but, really, who could it be other than Laura? He doesn’t know about Layla, and he wanted Kevin & Noriko brought to his feet, he’d ask for both. And Gaby? No way, she’s the furthest from his radar. So, Laura.As you head out, you realize that you’ve been clenching your fist around the note. You make a concerted effort to leave it be, a slight sting dancing along your flesh as you feel your nails withdraw from your palms, and resolve to pick up a few supplies before you head back. It won’t keep your mind off the bad news, but it’ll give you something to do other than sit around and feel impotent. You stop by a falafel place for a bite to eat. You’re not immensely hungry, but you might need your strength later. You tuck in as you walk, barely tasting the meat. >Hunger Level: 1

>(2/2)Why? Does he want her working for him? Probably – if Creeper had his way, everyone would be working for him. But he knows you won’t come back, so why would she? Is she worth money? A chill descends your spin as you consider, for a moment, the possibility that he’s somehow got into contact with Laura’s former captors. Would he hand her over to them? You don’t know… you remember how much pride he took in his mutation, how hard he came down on anyone who dared to look down on him for it… but the Creeper of then is not the Creeper of now. He was different when you started working for him – or, at the very least, he was better at hiding his true face. You don’t know what exactly happened over the course of that year, but by the time you were ready to leave he had become something truly terrible. You head down the highstreet, stopping to pick up a razor and, of all things, a few bottles of shampoo. Hah. Your purchases swinging alongside you, you meander about for a while, taking the long way back through the criss-crossing net of alleys that perforate New York. You feel the fear in your belly wrestling with the pure, seething rage. Your fangs won’t go in. Your claws poke at the edges of your flesh. You want to hit something. >Current Funds: $190.06>Present Time: 9:55 AM>[ ] Go home. >[ ] Go elsewhere [write in]. >[ ] Find something to hit. >[ ] Write in.
You know guys, just to point out, it might not be that he wants Laura for her powers and skillset (which he'd have limited knowledge of). Maybe he just wants an adorable young woman to act as a decoy or something relatively innocuous....And if he's going with something unreasonable, we plan out a code word beforehand with Laura, so she knows that something has gone south. I suggest 'raindrop'.

>[X] Go home. . >[X] Find something to hit. You don’t think you’ve felt this kind of rage in years. The fire that took your life rushes through you, burning at your fingertips, beginning for some kind of escape. You remember the way your sister tore apart a man, like he was nothing but tissue, nothing but an overstuffed garbage bag. Could you do that now? You stop to breathe. Fangs still aren’t going in, dammit. Your claws are just short of bursting through your gloves. Just.Picking the pace back up, you head back to the scar. Can’t do anything stupid. Mustn’t do anything stupid. And if you stay around people much longer you will do something incredibly stupid. You pass into the scar as a lurching thundercloud of rage, like a storm returning to level what remains of the battered wasteland. You head past the apartment and on into the remains of the furniture place, and there you release every inch of your hate. You blur. Your vision streaks red. You tear into the remaining shelves, sending splinters of wood flying in all directions, sending them crashing down upon each other. You imagine yourself finding the men that came to your house and tearing their jaws from their faces, ripping their guts from their bellies, using them to strangle Creeper and all his lackeys to death. Finally, you feel yourself reeling back in. Your knuckles are smeared in coppery red and your breath is pounding at your chest. You feel a rush of abject shame at what you’ve done to yourself, and head out to wash it off with the snow that lies heaped through the scar. The shadow of the apartment falls over you. You have to tell the others. -------------------------------------------------------------------->THREAD 24: END>Congratulations! You got another job!>Congratulations!

>>29009364Yeah JJ! Feel that shame in angry destruction!I was almost expecting there to be at least one fire from electro-punches.
>>29009400He's got a healing factor, so chances are his resistance to alcohol is pretty damn good.
>>29009400His preferred drink is up to you guys. His alcohol tolerance is mediocre.Also, >THREAD 34: ENDNot 24. Silly me.
>>29009435Oh, that's true.He had pretty underwhelming tolerance, but this would indeed have increased it. He doesn't know this, of course.
>>29009442>no Mutie point We just went apeshit with all our powers to the point we fucked ourselves upcmon man
>>29009442I nominate Whiskey or Absinthe. I think when JJ drank, he drank to forget
>>29009435He implied it wasn't before he got healing.>You decide to decline the drink, mostly because you want to be up early tomorrow, and alcohol tends to go to your head.And since we haven't drank in game, this would probably have been before where we didn't have a healing factor.
>>29009491Eh, it was just a short burst. And X-points come from dynamism/daring as much as from using your powers.
>>29009364>you feel a rush of shame at what you've done to yourselfOk, admittedly I just don't understand this, but I take it that venting our frustration in private so as not to accidentally take them out on our friends was the wrong choice?
>>29009497Absinthe is kind of expensive, though? I don't think he could afford that on his hobo years.
>>29009537JJ hasnt been that angry in a LONG time>>29009524Damnit when do we get new mutant powersthis shit is starting to annoy me
>>29009537it was a childish outburst. JJ is the mature responsible one of the group (at least that's what I think) wants to be a good example for the others, even if the others aren't there.>>29009549There was always thievery
>>29009497Whiskey. Cheap Canadian for the painful nastolgia.
>>29009567probably tomorrow, when we potentially do Creeper's last job.patience friend, use this time to go over the power options
>>29009573I'm sure he thinks he's the responsible one too, besides Laura.
>>29009594Dude, last job's tonight. We clock on at 7. Didn't you read the note?
>>29009594>Creeper's last jobYou keep telling yourself that, anon. You just don't 'quit' the mugga life.
>>29009497Whiskey, maybe. Note the e. Likely some form of bourbon, if so.Absinthe is probably a little pricy for JJ.Personally - I vote rum.
>>29009623the next thread is tomorrow you big silly
>>29009537Not really. Hitting lots of stuff is just a childish thing to do.>>29009567Well, you'll get the last X-Point of the chapter when you do something cool. You'll get the new powers opened up when you hit the next chapter. When this happens depends on the choices you make, but at this point it's heading toward you. Like the ground, from the top of a sixty story building.
>>29009623I think other anon means Real Tomorrow, when we do next thread.
>>29009639so... how was Frozen?
>>29009644I'm so excited!
>>29009634Maybe he developed a tasted for pinot noir back when he was in the old Green estate? You don't even have to drink it, it's smell is classy as fuck.
>>29009630Of course not. I expect him to try making an example of use by strong arm recruiting us or murdering us horribly. I expect the former to have more chance of success than the latter.
>>29009668As a kid? Doubt it. Or his parents were pissed when they found out.
>>29009668Maybe, but doubtful.
>>29009697I was just suggesting that maybe he likes a classy drink because it reminds him of home.
>>29009655It was okay. I find Disney's style kinda weird in 3D. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, which was Shrek on Ice: Look at Us, We can be Dreamworks Too. It pokes fun at some of the dumber things in Disney films without ending up cynical, which is good. The snowman was fucking annoying.
>>29009754I don't think he's wanted to be reminded of home for a long, long time. And even then I doubt he would really want to dwell on classy drinks as that would probably be tied to his mother's last few years, her cancer.
>>29009668Nah. If he went for wine, JJ strikes me more the type for Spanish reds than French. Pinot noir isn't exactly widespread over there.Maybe an Argentinian red.
>>29009754If he drinks to forget (a likely reason), I doubt it.Unless, he drinks it, remembers home, and he's a sad drunk. Tears errywhere, blubbering and shit.
>>29009825just like our rolls ;_;
>>29009821If JJ ends up drinking Rioja I will laugh my ass off.
>>29009854Crusty. Is Bob Ross a mutant? Possibly an receptive empath? Or one capable of making feels?
I actually had JJ's first proper encounter with alcohol planned as a flashback.
>>29009890Omega Level empath. His fro isn't actually a fro, it's an emotional sponge.
>>29009906>I actually had JJ's first proper encounter with alcohol planned as a flashback.DO IT.Like if we get beaten to shit and taken hostage or something, have JJ start having flashback dreams.
>>29009920Oh god. It makes so much sense. I'm never going to be able to unthink that.
>>29009920>His fro is an emotion sensor.My god, it makes so much sense. Flat scans are still in denial about it.
>>29009932Oh, I still intend on throwing it at you when the opportunity rolls around. Thread archived, by the by.
>>29009975>Oh, I still intend on throwing it at you when the opportunity rolls around.You better, you glorious man you.
>>29009497Fey La Verte. We is a Lizard Elf, after all.
>>29009932I think we get the alcohol flashback if we A - decide to start drowning our sorrows in booze or B - fuck up so bad that the next thread starts out with the flashback and transitions to us waking up robbed in a back alley.
>>29010011>Mutant reenactment of The Hangover.>JJ wakes up in Genosha, confused as all hell.
>>29010032I'd watch it.>>29009975Crusty, what would it take for you to GM a game of Mutants & Masterminds or Marvel's FASERIP or another mutant P&P?
>>29010032in the smoldering wreckage"oh fuck!...WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?!?!"
>>29010032>Genosha>not Madripoor>not Asgard>not the Shi'ar ThroneworldWeak.
>>29010087Genosha doesn't even exist yet, no?No wonder he's confused.
>>29010087>not hellPleb
>>29010087JJ and the gang need to make it to Asgard for Thor's wedding, but then the bachelor party gets a little out of hand...
>>29010032>Mutant reenactment of The Hangover.>Laura is the super-straight version of Alan>J.J. is Bradley Cooper>Kevin is Ed Helms>Noriko is Doug
>>29010087>>not the Shi'ar Throneworld...I'd forgotten we could get to see the Shiar.How badly would we need to fuck up to get there?
>>29010032Who do we leave in charge of the baby?
>>29010124Noriko is white Doug or black Doug?
>>29010083I had no idea Marvel did something that can be abbreviated as 'FASERIP'. I'm currently running a low power M&M with a bunch of dudes about the slow transformation of a relatively normal world in one bursting with superheroes and the associated weirdness,
>>29010132Party with Thor, Herc, and Logan with all of the booze.All of it.Also, much higher healing factor is needed.
>>29010142>Noriko is white Doug or black Doug?White Doug.Black Doug can be Layla. Or Joyce.
>>29010150Marvel Superheroes RPG, I think is the print title, but more commonly known as FASERIP since that's the acronym its attributes are ordered in. (Like SPECIAL!)Please let me play. Daddy needs his medicine so very, very badly.
>>29010150Its an old ass system for a marvel rpg. I hear its simple.available where ever bays of pirates are
>>29010106Genosha existed. This seems to come up in 1/2 of these threads, but it was around until Erik dropped Asteroid M on it.>>29010152Herc can never appear, as I would have to railroad you guys into Homo End. His gravity is just too strong.
>>29010222I'm probably speaking for myself but I am A-OK with Herc End.
>>29010222I am entirely fine with Herc stopping by then deciding that this quest isn't worthy of his stature and gravitas and hoping off to do Big things more befitting the god of strength. Maybe a Bugle update as to his escapades every once in a while. Whatever, not even remotely a dealbreaker.Maybe we could just run into Sorbo instead?
>>29010222>This seems to come up in 1/2 of these threadsmaybe you should make a pastebin of current events/ things people keep forgettingand has JJ ever seen a sentinel up close?
>>29010222Nooooo, but yeah, even Herc would go after the Lizard Elf. And JJ can do nothing about it.
>>29009567>JJ hasnt been that angry in a LONG timeMind giving us a flashback to when he was that mad before?
>>29010302I should really expand on the Bugle articles. I'd planned of writing out full articles for each issue, I just haven't found the time.>>29010311Mebbe I should.Also, nah. He's only seen them from afar.
>>29010382the tourists/random people he used to jump and beat up/mug.wanna say a flashback in thread 19 or 20
>>29010383Maybe if we're lucky a writefag could make an article that fits your approval.Then we could hear what they write about us.
>>29010399>the tourists/random people he used to jump and beat up/mug.Not that mad.>wanna say a flashback in thread 19 or 20That may be what he was referring to, but I don't think so. I could be wrong, however.
>>29010412Um, I think CJ should handle any articles written about us. That stuff's usually PLOT...
>>29010412I..I could give it a try maybe. anything in particular you want/ I should know?
>>29010436He took out alot of his anger about his family dying when he first started with creeperits only more serious now because we have super strength and claws and fangs
>>29010484Maybe a combination of anti mutant propaganda and Stark PR blitzing? Dunno, have fun and maybe throw the Defenders into the mix.
>>29010518also spiderman hate
>>29010494Well, we did used to have a 2x4... Yeah, there's no comparison, we need to be careful now.
>>29010530Nah, that's mostly restricted to the one paper that liked us.
>>29010518I'd probably stick to solo hero shenanigans, I don't wanna botch team rosters. also fight off the urge to write it from a "I can't believe its not" Hunter S Thompson expy/rip off
>>29010458Hence why I said CJ seal of approval. Someone could post one as a bump, if Crusty likes it, it might become canon.
>>29010618Who is CJ?
>>29010584That. Would be. The best possible thing.I kinda want to see Spider Jerusalem do an article (with photos be Parker, not this one because he's Ultimate)....Damnit, I'd want to see how that entire thing played out.
>>29010484Go ahead and do as you like. I guess there are quite a few differences between this world and 616, but honestly there's too many to list at the moment. If you feel you want to steer clear of them, feel free to just write about what you know has happened. Or, if you enjoy writing, then just go with what you feel like. I'd love to see what kind of stuff people could base on the events of this quest.
>>29010666Crusty Jones. C.J.
>>29010705Oh. I thought he was a guy on /tg/ good at doing articles and just happened to have the same initials.
>>29010676If Spider Jerusalem exists in this universe I will not be able to contain my manic glee.
>>29010680Writing/thinking warmly!
>>29010763Same.But I don't think enough drugs exist in this time period.And then it turns out this place is one of those Reservations and we're in The City as a display of the past.
>>29010869Imagine if the fabricator body jacked one of Stark's armor production facilities.
>>29010917If it's Spider's mafia-made Maker then it would just make a lot more cyber-drugs and get high. Possibly from the facility instead of a base block.
