You screw your eyes shut for a moment, your breath emerging as a steady hiss. Your head hurts. You feel like something’s gonna tear its way out soon enough, emerging from the ravine between your right and left hemisphere like some kind of hellish cranial nightmare.

You recall the other two men you were considering as targets earlier in the day; the guy at the college and the one clinging to the soup lines.

Yes, you could use them. You could hit them till you feel better. That searing anger pressing at the walls of your skull almost demands in, pushing the tips of your claws from their fleshy sheathes. You feel your blood agreeing, thrumming with eager heat.

The ability is exhausting and temporarily drops his Healing Factor by a level in the aftermath.

>[X] College.

You bet the guy at the college is smaller. Doesn’t have to fend off desperate hobos, after all. Just desperate hipsters.

You pick up the pace again, emerging just far enough out of your thoughts to take notice of your immediate surroundings. It doesn’t take you long to make your way out of the residential sweep where Peter lives, the streets growing closer and louder, shadows growing and multiplying.

“Where are we going?” Asks Laura, causing the hairs to rise on the back of your neck. You’d almost forgotten she was even there.

“Um…” You think. Where are you going? “This… college place. There’s another one of Creeper’s guys there.”

You feel her staring into your shoulders, her footfalls trailing a little behind you. She scrutinizes you for a good thirty seconds, before finally speaking up once again:

“…It’s getting late.”

>[ ] “So?”
>[ ] “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.”

Warp Spasm isn't really a power. It's a result of your unstable genetics. It's something that can always happen. You may not have noticed it, but JJ has had some moments where you've had to roll against some weird and irrational rage. Getting the ability allows you to activate this 'flaw' at any time.

>>30171489
Hah, nah. I guess you could interpret it that way (there'll always be some element of interpretation for why JJ's powers are so weird), but the intense heat thing is just to make it thematically similar to Cuchulainn's riastrad, who supposedly got so hot during one of his rages that he evaporated a lake.

>[X] “So?”

“So?” You respond, a little brusquely.

Why does she even care? Is she trying to say something? Why doesn’t she just say it?

“I’m not going home empty handed.” You add, feigning a determined tone.

Makes sense. You went out to get money. You don’t come back until you have money. Makes sense.

“I see.” She notes, falling back into silence.

I see. ‘I see’. Quiet, always quiet…

She stays silent throughout the journey. You retrace your steps, following a combination of half-recognition, scent, and instinct to lead you back onto more familiar streets. Soon you realize that you’re not far from the scar, and it’s just a short walk now. The trek takes you past the park that served as meeting grounds for you and Creeper (and the Hellions, too), a little off the main street where you first ran into Julian.

The college is a large, modern building surrounded by a wide lawn, a clusters of strategically planted trees greenifying the grounds. A few students linger under them, even in these cold hours, discussing something or other. But you’re not here for them.

Now you guys are being dicks, you know Laura has trouble standing up to authority figures, and we don't even need to be doing this, why is JJ stooping down to robbery again? For some quick cash?

I thought we wanted to leave this kind of crowd behind, robbery isn't right, and just because they're criminals is a poor excuse.

It wasn't long ago that JJ could very easily have been one of these drug dealers, why are people so quick to turn a blind eye to that?

>>30172080
we the smelliest hobo around.

>>30172122

JJ is about to go Hulkamania
knocking out two birds with one hulk hand

we chose not to be a drug dealer, maybe if we beat this guy to a pulp he will start rethinking his life choices.

>>30172122
>JJ could very easily have been one of these drug dealers

we kinda were. well drug mule technically. and Laura isn't going to learn to stand up to authority figures by avoiding them. and she has done the opposite of what we said earlier (remember when we met spider-man?)

in a less serious manner, lets steal all the gloves in a 5 mile radius.

>>30172183
Unless these idiots fail willpower check.
Then everybody on the campus dies and it will be their fault for not waiting until raiding the creeper's place.

>>30172206

I don't see why we couldn't work out and discuss our emotions with Laura after getting a meal.

>>30172151
We could be doing something, snything other than robbery, we could be getting foods for the others or scoping out creeper's hideout, or maybe even try to make headway with Luara's problems, we've been all but ignoring her as a bodyguard, no consideration for what she wants to do.
>>30172179

You shut your eyes.

Grass flushes through your nose. Wet leaves. The smell of earth after the snow has had time to settle and run, trickling deep into the breathless loam down below. You smell smoke hanging off the lips of a boy nearby, and unwashed clothes. The sickly-sweet scent of teenagers, riddled with acne and hormones and awkward, shuffling attraction, lays itself over you like a heavy fugue, but as you step cautiously forward, one food after the other, you find yourself filtering your way through it.

You specify. You draw on what you know, on feelings and thoughts stapled to the notion of drugs. Creeper, Asahi, the sweat of a long, desperate pace, Victoria, breathless, uncomprehending euphoria…

Little sparks being to light the dark. Marijuana. You think you smell mushrooms. PCP.

Jack.

Your nostrils flare.

“Hey, dude…” You feel a hand come down on your shoulder. Your entire body coils into defensive revulsion.

You open your eyes, realizing that your little scent adventure has taken you well across the long lawn outside the building, not too far from what looks like the main entrance. A tall young man wearing a cap under his hoodie stands at your side, staring at you with an expression of bemused apprehension. A little ways behind him linger a trio of other teens – his friend, you’d imagine.

>>30172588

I doubt a private detective agency run by mutant kids pulls in enough cash to support us.

>>30172622
Who said we involve the Hellions at all? We use the fear the shop has of them to leverage ourselves a job. I might work, it might not, but it's worth a shot, and has anyone considered asking the others if they have any ideas? Why are we taking this responsibility on all our own? We have a group of people to feed, not mindless children.

You didn't read that part?

Yet, JJ himself reflected on how he feels endlessly guilty for having beat the shit out of people for Creeper, much like what is most likely going to happen now. Yet you chucklefucks still argue that doing so is in-character.

You're forgetting that the slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy.

I'm saying that robbing convenience stores and killing otherwise innocent people is not the logical conclusion of beating up a cancerous lump upon society who peddles life-destroying substances to the populace.

>>30172873
This. What happened to the JJ redemption arc. Am I the only one here that has been following and voting on this quest from the beginning. JJ is supposed to be a good guy.

Warp Spasm.

Did you not read the description? Do you think it's worth ruining your relationship with your companions and risking meltdown for quick cash?

>>30172873

I guess it was also out of character to fight that demon, toad, and those government agents then if JJ feels so bad about confronting some of creepers goons.

>>30172914
You're assuming yourself anon, we know nothing about this person, we have no idea why they're peddling drugs. See how easy it was to just right them off as a scumbag solely based on the fact they deal drugs. You're categorizing all drug dealers as scumbags to make it easily more justifiable to rob them, and at the same time forgetting JJ himself was one of these "cancerous lumps".

>>30172951
I don't think we're going to go full warp spasm just yet, man. I'd think it would take quite a bit more to push us past that point than some dude putting his hand on our shoulder.

Hand. Get that hand off me before I shove it down your throat. Off.

You open your mouth to say it, your blood itching with the sudden urge to push this guy around a bit, to dare him to start something, but the words curdle in your throat. You pause, and, as if seeing yourself from the outside, or through this dumb teenager’s eyes, you think about what you were just about to say.

Man, you were just gonna kick this guy’s shit in, weren’t you? You wanted it. You still do. The words are still there, bunching like a viper at the bottom of your lungs, ready to spring out and taint the world red.

“DOOM seeks the Latverian embassy, simpleton.” You release your anger as healthy derision instead. “I would have thought this obvious.”

He blinks, and you sigh.

“Seriously, though, I’ve got a cold.”

“Oh…” A grin tugs at his cheeks and he chuckles a little nervously. “…Right, right. Uh, sorry.”

“No problem.” You force it out. Yes problem. Yes problem! My foot isn’t in your face you giant fuckhead! Fuck youuuuuuuu–

“John.” Laura breaks her silence as the kid retreats, looking up at you. You think you see something approaching concern in those green mysteries. Or accusation. Is it accusation? What’s she accusing you of? Where does she get off on tha”– “Your heartrate is elevated.”

Yeah, so? He surprised you. You're surprised. Shocked, even.

“…At roughly a hundred and twelve times normal speed…”

The demon was hurting children, taking him out was the right thing to do.
Toad was attacking us while we were trying to help people escape, it was the right thing to do.
The government agents were a threat to Laura, we defended ourselves and got away, the right thing to do.
In all those instances we were attacked first in attempts to help others, mugging drug dealers can not be compared to this.

I'm not saying the kid touching our shoulder is the drug dealer, I'm saying that the guy with PCP, Jack, and pot on him is the drug dealer. Someone holding such a wide variety of narcotics is almost certainly dealing.

Every single quest I have been a part of has either been abandoned by the QM or ran long enough to attract morons and shit posters. HMQ was different. It went 49 threads. 49 threads without a shit storm. everyone got along everyone made choices that fit the character.

>>30173168

It's just one shitstorm.

All quests get that. If we survive relatively in tact, we're good.

OKAY nipping some shit in the bud.

I designed both of these options to in-character. If someone chooses to do something wildly, stupidly out of character, murderhobo style, they are simply going to get ignored. But the two choices at the start of today's thread are specifically designed as equally in-character at the present time. They're both reactions to being a little pathetic at the end of the last thread.

One is an angry reaction, indulging in one of those weird hot spots of abject rage JJ gets. One is a passive one, going home to feel sorry for oneself and 'lick your wounds', so to speak.

Both are in-character for an angry guy looking for a way to make himself feel better. The drug dealer option may not even have been there had certain things not happened beforehand.

>>30173168
And here is a prime example of a hungry troll.

Just look at that nearly dead body. Still, survival of the fittest.

It's not even that, it's that it's been obvious from the start that now is not a good time to do it.

>All these faggots wanting JJ to be the Paladin of virtue

I though we had this discussion 15 threads ago.

>>30173210
I don't see why exiting when we did at the end of last thread is pathetic though.
Pete seemed uncomfortable having us here. It was stated in the build up post WE were uncomfortable BEING there. We had other stuff we wanted to get done today. There were a million and one perfectly legitimate reasons to leave when we did that didn't involve being pathetic/being angry.

>>30173108

I meant killing random people. Having the power/flaw Warp Spasm doens't mean we would've killed those mutant control guys. It was an inadequate counter to the point I was making, that beating up drug dealers is a morally justifiable act. Hell, the police do it all the time.

Yes we would.

>>30173210

Hmm... that makes me wonder. Crusty, could it be possible that all these random, rapid mutations on JJ's body could be fucking with the chemical balance in his body and his psyche? Combine that with all the shit he's experienced and it'd make sense the way he gets.

Ya'll anons need to take a deep breath, realize that you're all equally awesome, and forgive each otter and stop with the bitching.

Ya'll "Waaah, white knights!" fags need to stop and think that this entire time we've been hiding from our own goverment, a rogue canadian organization, and now the kingpin of fucking crime. Let's not do things while angry, a clear head is a head that stays on it's shoulders.

>>30173210
People really get up in arms with this shit, I personally didn't think it was out of character myself. He's already shown himself to be prone to strange rages as you've said.

Now I think it is more in-character to back off though, considering what Laura has said.

>>30173331
I'm talking about simply having the flaw. We had the flaw when we talked to Mutant Control and did not kill them. Obviously, activating the power would've meant killing them.

Having the ability to warp spasm does not mean we can never ever ever even THINK of doing ANYTHING violent even if it's morally justifiable.
