Hello, my fellow muggas. Today i’m am writing this to talk to all of you about some of our goals. Some of our goal both long term and immediate here in this thread.
I find it to be a privilege- Nay my obligation to speak now on what we must do here in this thread in order to prepare for the future.
First and foremost is our problem with Creeper:
Put it to you all now, that the decision on how to deal with him is one of the defining moments in JJ Green’s life.
I must urge you all that in order for him to be a just and true leader of his hobo group, inorder for these people to believe in us, in order to preserve their hopes for the future and simple daily life. We must let Creeper live.
We must let him live, and bring him to as true a justice as there is in the world.
JJ’s obligations to himself, as well as to Laura and all others, our own obligations: to create a truly great narrative, all require courage, and the determination to make this effort.
Our choices at this waystation may define this very story, may define it from being a flurry of simple, brutal, and brutish solutions. Or a just, and exemplary progression of a man’s good character.

>cont.

>>30065349
>Cont.

To those who believe that this path is too complicated or believe it too difficult to achieve. I speak to you now.
William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that
>all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
This thread is not without prejudice among it’s posters, not without indecisions or division but it doesn’t deserve any of it.
It’s hazards are hostile to us all. Equally. We must be unified, in order to fully honor what it is to be apart of it. This conquest deserve the best of all mankind. It deserves the grandest of each choice, the most righteous, and perhaps the most difficult.
>So we choose to the Moon!
>We choose to Spare Creeper!
>We choose to Spare the Creeper in this decade, and do the other things!
>Not because they are easy! But because they are hard!
Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept. One we are unwilling to postpone. And one we intend to win. Thank you.
----------------------------------------
A good first step, is to work with Victoria, fake a Jacking (mind the pun), punch her in the stomach one last time to burn down the pub and the evidence if it is more convincing that there was a fight. And use her to get close to Creeper and take him down from the inside secretly.

I'm playing this whole thing by ear and will continue to do so.

how about wait till we see Victoria's reaction to us before we start planning far ahead?

>[X] This changes some stuff.

God, how awkward. Talk about reality just pissing all over your bonfire.

You hold Laura’s hand a little tighter and step back, taking the two of you out of the thin lane leading across the booths, onto the somewhat raised flooring upon which the tables sit. She glances up at you questioningly, the green of her eyes dulled by the pall-light of walking under the visual spectrum, and you just swallow and nod. Slowly, as if her gaze is tethered by some manner of friction, she turns back to Victoria.

Minutes pass. The low murmur of the couple across the room occasionally breaks – somebody sips, somebody laughs quietly. Victoria just sits and steadily drains her milkshake, occasionally glancing through you, at the door. Whenever she does, you feel yourself tense slightly.

Eventually she finishes her drink and stretches languidly, shrugging off her jacket. She dumps it down on the booth beside her and gets up, lifting a rucksack out from under the table. Somewhat needlessly, step a little further back as she moves to leave the booth.

>[ ] Wait till she goes, check the jacket.

She may just be drug running. So I say we wait and see.

"Hey Vickie. Long time no see.How are you doing? Glad to hear it. sooo...you got a hair cut! Oh, her? This is Laura, my bodyguard and BFF. She's great, completely validated the buddy system since the day we met."

Just got in here, I hope you guys aren't still planning on mugging JJ's ex, because that's kind of a dick thing to do all things considered.

>[X] Wait till she goes, check the jacket.

You let her go. She rolls her shoulders and heads out, up, away from the smouldering orange underground and the dank wood. You hear her pick up speed almost the moment she’s out of sight. Running, always running.

Immediately, you tug Laura’s hand, stepping into the now-vacant booth. You rummage through the discarded jacket with one hand, almost certain that Laura’s eyes are boring into your back.

“Sorry.” You whisper. “That just… wasn’t a good target, I guess.”

She remains silent. The question, though, hangs unspoken in the air. Why?

“She used to work with me, back during the Creeper days.” You bite your lip. The Creeper days. It sounds so stupid when you say it out loud. “She’s a mutant, and she sort of bleeds napalm.”

Your fingers trace their way around the outline of something heavy caught between the layers of fabric. Quietly, you turn the jacket around, and find a cut in the material, leading on into a little DIY pocket. So, no question about it, she was carrying drugs. Which means someone will be stopping by to pick up.

Well, at least she’s not dealing. That’s something.

Wait for the pickup and mug them, at least that covers her side of things then.

Means she wont get into trouble with creeps. We can always track her later if we fancy a meet up.

That or follow him. Might get us some new way to harm creepers business. (And if it doesn't we can still mug him)

We still have a meeting with peter in couple of hours, so we can't keep stalking her for too long.

>>30065768

Would the guy picking up even have money? This seems like a prepaid sorta thing.

>>30065878
It's cocaine not Jack. She targeting human junkies not mutant ones. I wonder if she went full magneto them or us mentality.

>>30065914
>Take the drugs and throw it into a dumpster or the sewers
why are we even taking them in the first place, if the guy arives and the drugs are gone then they might think its a setup or theyre being played and freak out, ad if they just leave then her boss is going to slap her shit for loosing the drugs and having no money so were just fucking her over.

Alright, I've totally redone JJ's tail now since I didn't really like it. Tell me guys what you think. Still have to add the joints on the last part of it but you get the idea.

>>30065952
Well that depends if she selling the stuff or just moving it.

>>30065768

We're after the money. Beating up Victoria now won't intefere with Creeper's operation.

>>30065768
>[ ] Track Victoria.

>>30065878
Who said anything about selling it?
I was thinking more along the lines of a plant. Or depending on what kind of drugs we're talking about, possibly using it in some form of improvised explosive.
Though admittedly, it may just be my inner kleptomaniac making justifications.

>>30066039
It's cocaine.
Cocaine isn't explosive.

>>30065768
>[ ] Track Victoria.

>[X] Track Victoria.

Slowly, you let yourself step back, retracting your hand. Victoria’s scent hangs in the air, the wet, unseemly greasiness of petrol mingling with coffee and cream, dredging memories up out of the dark, spinning them along you like silk. Like warm hands, like lips, like her cheek against your shoulder in the back of a Sedan.

“Come on.” You whisper, feeling Laura’s warmth change, twitching between your fingers. You avoid her eyes. “Let’s go.”

You abandon silence once you’re up the stairs, following the trail of memories out into the street. Victoria’s nowhere to be seen, but her scent leads over the road, down a narrow inlet between the squat houses that line the street.

Man, you forgot how fast she could run.

You make for the road and feel Laura’s hand lag slightly.

“John?” She asks, the slight tenor of a question infringing upon her even tone. “Why are we following this woman?”

The tail is kind of nice, but the end bit could use some redesigning, it doesn't seem to quite fit the rest of the tail.

>>30065998

I doubt we will ever buy spinal tail or warp spasm,there many other powers with much better utility that we could buy.

>>30066113
Tell Laura we're going to track her and see if it leads us back to the source of distribution.

>>30066113
"She was just dropping off the drugs, I doubt the pick up will have any money. Lets see if we can find a distribution center."

>>30066113
"I knew her. Back when I was working for Creeper. We were... I don't know. I think we were friends back then. Not sure about it now."

>>30066113
A strange mixture of nostalgia and a suspicion she may lead us to the source.

>>30066136
Are we going to miss meeting with peter for stalking our ex?

>>30066039
There aren't many narcotics that are explosive. Unless you're planning on using it live chemical warfare. It's hard to shoot straight while tripping balls.

>>30065952
Probably wouldn't have money for the drugs but might have a few dollars in his pocket anyway. Still not worth it.

>>30066163
>>30066157

if we could somehow mix these two it would be perfect.

>>30066163
>>30066157

these.

>>30065349
Agreed, JJ ain't no killler.
>>30065387
We were old flames, but we have to see how this play out.

>>30066113
tracking distribution and we kinda sorta were close, just looking for the right time to talk.

>>30066163
>>30066157
>>30066178
Maybe...
"We used to be close, uh... real close, before I stopped working for creeper. More than that though, I doubt the guy picking up will have any cash on him. She might lead us to a distribution center."

>>30066115
Fair enough. I'll change it up, see how it goes.

>>30066122
Doesn't really matter. The image is just in good fun.

>>30066113
'I...I used to work with her. She wasn't completely on the level with Creeper. We were close friends. I owe it to her to give her a chance to get out of this before things get ugly.'

How about buying a bugle, circling our expose and putting it somewhere Victoria will find it?

>>30066113
>She might be able to help us but I'm not sure yet.

>>30066215
we should still have a bugle paper on us.

>>30066215
Lets not, I'd much rather leave that entire segment of our life and everyone in it far behind.

>>30066113
She's making a drop, no money is going to be on the pickup. We follow her, we know their new distribution center to hit later when the dealers put in. If she were dropping off Jack, I would say we should destroy it before the drop, I don't much give a damn about their cocaine.

And, and I'm a little off of my game because she was a friend, long time ago, when I wasn't sure I really had any.

>>30066113
>>30066157
This.

>>30066169
Maybe?
>>30066113
Hey Crusty, what time is it in game? are we cutting it close to are meeting time with peter?

>>30066208
To long. We're running down the street while tracking someone not sitting at the dinner table.

>>30066225
this is succinct

>>30066267

we could just shoot him a text telling him we might be a little late, Peter will understand.

>>30066267
Yeah, we said we would meet, we should do that once we have a beat on where they are cutting and packaging their poisons.

Wait. Just had a thought, what if Jack is made from mutants and that was why Creeper was killing so many to bring them in?

>>30066267
You could just check the opening post its 3:40.

>>30066307
Doubt it, i'm more inclined to think it was a reducation ship, and the drugs themselves are made from a mutant.

>>30065387
While I say we shouldn't go and put a knife on Creeper's throat, I'm not against putting him to circumstances where he might end up dying due to his own decisions.

Lol everyone is assuming she's going back to the distribution center. She just dropped off the drugs why would she need to get more? She might just be going home.

>>30066307
>>30066267


we still have a few hours we will be fine, and like >>30066305 said if we do start running a little late just send him a text.

>>30066307

If so, then creeper is going to be force fed into one of the machines that make it.

But its doubtful, one time harvesting of a person would be extraordinarily inefficient, time consuming and expensive to do.

>>30066363
unless it was his mutant power to make drugs

>>30065480
Don't kill creeper.

>>30066349
>making one drug drop
This is a job for her, she should be doing multiple drops.

Just so you guys know, the Peter appointment is in roughly 2 hours 30 minutes and it will take time to get there, so we'll have about an hour and half to kill before we should get going.

>>30066410
He should only take 30-40 minutes anon, so we have 100-120 minutes.(you forgot the subway system and that we didn't travel that far.)

>>30066410
He'll probably hang around for 10 or 20 minutes before splitting, so we should have plenty time to get there at the last second.

>>30066410
if we cut it close, just text him "srry but I have 2 resched. sumthing came up. l8r"

except JJ uses proper grammar

>>30066609
>"srry but I have 2 resched. sumthing came up. l8r"
Nope, we were adamant not to txt speak like retards.

Well, why are you?

In part, it’s gotta be nostalgia. And curiosity. And some lingering… thing, something that can’t quite be grasped. Of course, there are practical reasons too. Sort of.

“We were close, once.” You answer, picking up the pace. You find yourself shrugging off your invisibility. “She could help us.”

Maybe.

Victoria’s wild ride takes you on a crisscrossing tour of this end of Queens. It’s not hard to track her haphazard pathway through the city, nor is it hard to stay hidden. She can run fast, you’ll give her that, but she was never the attentive type. In a way, you think that part of her made her a better mule than you. She was one track. Focused. She lived her life getting from A to B in the most expedient manner possible, whether point B was a dealer on the East End or under your shirt. Everything else was secondary, at least for a time.

There were a lot of things about Victoria you never really understood, but you don’t think she liked slowing down to think. Or listen, or look.

Eventually, she comes to a stop outside a desolate little shack of a house. You jog to a stop nearby and dip yourself back out of sight, taking a moment to catch your breath. You watch as she strolls up to the door and knocks, fishing a package out her bag. Too small to be any significant amount of drugs. Unless it’s LSD, maybe? You don’t think Creeper does LSD.

The door opens and a broad man in his late twenties, his face cultivating a thick beard and his wifebeater cultivating thicker stains, leans out. They talk.

“How close?”

You blink, and realize the voice is Laura’s. For a moment you don’t realize quite what she’s asking, before the brief exchange just under half an hour ago returns to you.

>[X] Half an' half.

You check your watch absently, more to give yourself a second’s respite from the question than anything else. Time grinds quietly onwards, it seems, stepping forward leagues in the instants you’re not looking. How far is Queens Plaza from here? Could you risk a subway trip…?

“She…” She nibbled your ears and swayed like the tide. Drank that dumb Asian beer with you, watched that sitcom about those guys in the hospital where everything’s all weird and stuff, kissed your neck. “…She saved my life.”

She also saved you from being a pure untarnished virgin forever. But you neglect to mention that.

“I’ll explain everything later. I need to focus…”

You open your ears, delving through the audible shiver of grass swaying in the wind, through the occasional creak of the door frame, though the distant babble of the city...

“…questions.” That’s her voice. It’s changed a little. Kinda… sharper. “I don’t want to know, anyway. Just give me the cash.”

“Sure, sure.” Is the all but dribbled response. The guy hands her a thick wad of cash and takes the package.

Damn. Looks like you honed in a little late.

The door slams. You think you hear Victoria click her tongue.

This shit is bogus. Hopefully Victoria will realize what's going on once we start hitting up Creeper, and will switch to the right side. We are letting our emotions cloud our judgement.

>>30066740
>(Crusty, why did we and Victoria split?)

You left.

>>30067033
It's a popular theory. I don't think it's ever been stated, though. Kinney wasn't Asian anyhow.

Laura's Asian vibes are probably just her being a petite pale girl with long straight dark hair. Comics don't have a great track record with making ethnicity particularly apparent, so you're more receptive to generalities when reading them.

>>30067113

>[X] Reveal yourself.

Right. Right. Time to… do something, of some kind.

Watching the door for signs of movement, you make your way across the front lawn, to where Victoria stands in tense silence, checking her phone for something or another. Anyone else and you’d assume she’d heard you, or she was sly to something being out of order, but she was always tense. Even when she slowed down, just for a little while, and indulged in something vaguely resembling relaxation, there was always something winding, some cog turning.

You guess that hasn’t changed.

You give her a respectable bit of distance and phase into visibility. Laura flinches and you think you feel something shift under her skin.

For a moment, there’s nothing. She just stares down at her phone. One track…

“That another job?” You offer.

Her head snaps up, eyes wild with guilty surprise. Her entire form, every inch of it, leans into the beginnings of a sprint, but something stops her.

Those dusky eyes of hers feel like they’re knocking at your shades.

She breathes out slowly, staring at you like you’re something endangered and alien, something lost. Smells like cinders and apples.

“…JJ?”

You try to remember the last thing you said to her. You think you called her a retard.

>[X] Write in.
>[X] Ask her how she’s been.

At some point one of you is going to have to say something. Unless you’re counting on Laura to break the silence, which isn’t happening in this or any other universe. Speaking of whom, you notice Victoria’s eyes straying down your arm, to the hand knotted around Laura’s. You hurriedly disentangle your fingers and let the beginnings of a nervous cough trail off through your throat, thinking it’d maybe draw her attention away or something.

It’s not like there’s anything going on there, obviously. It just… seems almost rude.

“You changed your hair.” You finally force something out, and it’s that. “It’s nice.”

Her mouth moves silently. For a moment you’re certain she’s going to hit you, or turn and run, but she just folds her arms over her chest and leans on one hip, as if bracing herself for some heavy duty processing.

“I’ve…” She looks you up and down. Are you that different? “…I’ve had it for a while now.”

“Right.” Silence. Silence. Got to– “How’ve you been?”

She flinches through a few expressions, before settling on something you can’t quite distil into anything particularly simple. Tired, possibly sad, maybe angry too?

“What are you doing here, JJ?”

>[X] Explain what you were doing.

“Honestly?” Cards on the table, you guess. She never did beat you at cards. “I was going to rob you. Before I knew you were… you.”

She sighs.

“I can’t believe you’re doing this…” Her eyes wander momentarily. “You’ve backed Creeper into a corner, you know? You should be gone. Out of town.”

You feel the sweat on your palms. Her scent is different but the same. That acidic, sifting something…

“I’m not leaving.” You state, hoping you sound somewhere in the general area of resolute. “I’m taking down Creeper. And all of his people.”

She almost laughs. It’s that quick, unbelieving exasperation that gathers in the throat like a dried-up chuckle.

“I’m serious.” You continue. “You tried to talk me out of this, once. You’ve seen what he’s doing. Can you still say I was wrong?”

“I’m just a courier.” She snaps back, a defensive edge to her tone.

“I know. I was just”–

Her hand silences you. She just stares for a moment, a quiet something bustling in her eyes, and slowly lowers her hand.

“Look…” She slides away her phone. “I won’t tell anyone about this, but you need to leave town. This is reality, JJ. Whatever game you think you’re playing, Creeper has already won. He won years ago. Just, for once, don’t be… don’t be such a fucked up little weirdo…”

She clenches her fists and walks past you.

“Good luck.”

She doesn't know about the new powers....

Creeper is keeping that info to himself for reasons unknown or Vickie is just doing her damnedest to keep her head down and out of the way.

she knows nothing and is unwilling to assist.


imo the next COA should be

chat with Pete, warn him about the facility jerks
come back to Vickie's payoff spot and wreck and or rob it.

True, actions speak louder than words.

Why we are not murdering people yet? We are hobo already. Get some x points, senses 4, steal a gun, make a bottle rag silencer, shoot the fucker, go into hiding, pick up the remains of the organization.

>>30073419
Most of our companions don't exactly like the notion of killing, so murdering should be kept at minimum.

Still, I think Creeper should probably kick the bucket, if not necessarily by our hands, but due to the circumstances we force him into.

>>30074679
Okay, I have a plan, we give Layla the gun, and have her kill the Creeper. Something automatic, if possible.

>>30075198
We could get Laura to kill him as soon as we find where creeper is if we want him dead, it was her idea in the first place that we kill him.

Ideal situation is that somebody else kills him or deals with him.
Remember, this is Marvel universe, after a villain shows up in newspapers, it usually doesn't take that long for one of the supes to arrive and pick a fight with him.

Brotherhood probably doesn't appreciate what Creeper's doing, neither do the X-men, SHIELD wants superpowered recruits and it would be an amazing publicity stunt for them to deal with Creeper after he just showed up in the news, there's always Punisher that might just bomb the place, Hellions are now after him, there's also Silvermane who would have an interest in getting rid of Kingpins men, Owlsey apparently is no friend of Creeper either.

So yea, there's plenty of shit that can fall on his neck if we manage to keep stealing info on Creeper's organization and leaking them to Bugle.
If Creeper stops being more trouble than he is worth to Kingpin, he might just cut ties with him.

>>30076781
>If Creeper STARTS being more trouble than he is worth

>>30076781
No, no you give Layla the gun. Much more fun/excitement.

Surprised this is still up.
>>30076781
>it was her idea in the first place that we kill him.
We kind of dragged her into this shit when we freed the prisoners. Bailing out after we made her antagonize Creeper would have been kind of shitty, old JJ shitty.
>So yea, there's plenty of shit that can fall on his neck if we manage to keep stealing info on Creeper's organization and leaking them to Bugle.
That's a pretty novel idea, I like it.

>>30081154
A lot better than the guys wanting to go in guns blazing and willing to murder his ex.

>>30081154
The thing is, since we know creeper isn't in the close circle of Kingpin, he's more likely to discard him than to cover for him.

We just need to make sure he isn't worth the trouble.

>>30081154
Wait for a superhero, to take care of our problem?
I know this is marvel and shit, but that probably wont happen. 1rst of all Creper if sucking unnoticeable. He can force surprise attack on any superhero, and with exception to ones immune to bullets, He can take down anyone who is a treat. Only ting stopping him is that he and his minions are bunch of crackheads.
We should tray to locate, and poison his drug supplies. Keep him and his goons off drugs for couple of weeks, and they will kill themselves anyway. Also cheap poor(deadly) quality drugs are best way to fight his supporters.
Too bad JJ is too pussy to kill off crackheads.

>>30081519
Unnoticeable to people, yes.
Not unnoticeable to machines, meaning that anybody with access to drones or other computer operated weaponry can wreck creeper.

So yea, if anybody with access to sophisticated weaponry goes after creeper, he's kinda fucked.

No! We're killing time until next thread starts.

>>30081714
Just wait an hour dumb ass.

I been thinking, JJ needs a ranged weapon. How about the slingshot? Its silent, easily concealed (hell you can wear it as underwear), and can deliver almost any admonition (grenades, molotovs, whatever.) , and cowers for our long range weakness. If we get the bullseye stuff. we can shoot at least 2 of them at same time, with no real drawbacks.(besides a bit of training time). As for ammunition, bunch of picked up bottles, couple of litres of gasoline/diesel/exc and a sheet will give us enough to burn a house down. And if we don't want that, we can half brick from huge distance. And we don't even need the bullseye stuff, if we train for couple of days (?)
What you guys think? Cheapest munition, and widest ammo selection, at least in my option. Can be used in close combat as morning star, or weight-in-sock.

Also we could get a metal mug, instead of knuckles. Conducts electricity, and can hold liquid or powder (chili powder, chalk, exc) put a lid on it till needed.. Can be used as a backup kettle.

Would hurt JJ arms much less than knocking out people bare handed, like hes been doing so far.

What weapons JJ shuld take up? He sucks in hand to hand combat damage, so he should get some stuns, and ranged abilities.

Any other weapon suggestions? JJ is not picking up guns, for when they are needed, for some reason.

>>30082483
optic blasts is going to be on the new power list..

>>30082483
Claws level 3 or 4 covers that.

>>30082637
it's also something we're nowhere close to getting so im not sure why youre bringing it up

>>30082542
Why we should waste like 4 X points for single weak ass attack? Not even a cool one. Better get hypnosis or something for social scenes.
Also the claws mutaton would have been beter off sawed, and we could have gotten a pair of kitchen knives, hidden up our sleeves. X points are more useful than 10 dollars.
Why the hell are we wasting X points on shit we can do anyway? Its not like Shooting claws 1 time a day is even that great of an ability.
We are better off getting bunch of large nails/spikes from department store and trowing them. 1 dollar a piece, but how often are we gonna shoot our claws? like 3 times in whole campaign or so. We could get healing invis 5 for same price.
There is no point on saving cash on weapons, since we don't use them. Carying about 30 doloars worth of equipment hidden on you gives you like 10 ish extra xpoints. That is motherfucking flight and phasing, and maybe super speed or some shit.
Extra attack/dodge speed > claws.
We need some dodge, armor, or health next. I recommend dodge, and reactions, since they upgrade our invisibilities effect.
