>>[ ] Sorting out your life. Get them clothes, talk to Peter or Ms. Hardy about that job, etc.

Job, Jeb and Turf war.

>[X] Sorting out your life.

Well, if you’re going to deal with all that other shit, you’re going to do so properly equipped. Which means sorting out your life (sort of… to the extent to which it can feasibly be sorted, anyhow), acquiring some manner of income, and generally getting yourself prepared fort he worst.

You pull yourself up, stretching out a yawn. Arms kinda ache.

Still, no sign of your injuries, inside or out. You’re healing faster than ever.

You’re preparing to head out into the city in search of Boxing Day bargains, when you realize that you have absolutely no money. You cast an eye over the sleeping figures of your companions and sigh heavily. You can’t believe you’re the only truly broke mutie in the group now. Fucking Layla probably has more money than you.

>>31300301
If not, we can just steal a pair of shades.

>>31300301
Yeah, we really need a place outside of the scar. I expect this place to become pretty inhabitable pretty soon.
Extra clother for backup and more cover are also really needed.

>>31300212
Did we check this guy's jacket for a wallet or spare change something?

We're about the same size as Peter, right? maybe a bit taller. Mooch some clothing maybe?

We're still in the Scar, just a different part.

Agreed, but also talk to Peter.

We could get some shades or clothes from him, maybe. And the number to the detective agency, too.

Finally, some fucking sense. I can understand some people wanting to go for the eye upgrades cause they're simple. I can't understand choosing something that you also need to get a bunch of prerequisites for too

>>31300452
Crusty, can we get some of the mutations cheaper, if we get more limitations and drawbacks? We really can't bank more than 3 points, without spending them on something else/useless stuff that would be cool if we invested extra 10 points or so.

Maybe it works only half of the time, or has a chance to come out from somewhere unintended or something.

>>31300543

Don't get me wrong, I like the Druid idea. I think we should at least get Photosynthetic Biology, if not the whole package.

I just think we have more relevant powers we need to buff up first.

You know what? You can probably find most of what you need floating acceptably near the top of a garbage heap. There is, however, the matter of the phone… but you can work that out later. For now you just need some shades on your face and a jacket over your shoulders.

And a job, too. That would be nice.

Careful not to wake anyone, you make your way out, shifting out of phase with the visible spectrum as you emerge into the light. You criss-cross your way out of the scar, into the mesh of alleys and that surround the city’s main arteries, systematically checking off a list of noted trash spots.

It takes you almost two hours, but eventually you have a set of wide-rimmed shades on your nose, and an acceptably thick jacket to wear. You even manage to find a spare hoodie, too, which you sling under your arm in preparation for the next time your physiology decides to get all uppity and weird.

With your plunder in tow, you make your way deeper into Queens, toward Peter’s house. Now socially acceptable (sorta), you let the veil of invisibility fall away, becoming just another bobbing head in the crowds of Boxing Day shoppers. The busy streets slow you down a little, but eventually you find yourself approaching Peter’s porch, once again feeling quite acutely out of place.

We've never needed to bank more than three until this point, that's the most powerful ability cost we've aimed for.

Now I'm pretty sure most of us are going for senses 5, and I'm pretty sure we can get to it.

So no. Since we haven't ever had a goal to purchase a power that cost more than 3 up to this point.

It's going to be either geointuitive vision or senses 5.
I'm quite torn between the two, but I REALLY want a lvl 5 power.

Are JJ and Squirrel Girl related? Like cousins or half-siblings.

>>31300566
The reason why we never banked more than 3 points was because many of the lvl 1 powers were really cost effective.

>>31300797
Geo would help with allot of things, but i think senses five will yield a better return on the dodging bullet theme, since its 360 degrees instead of Line of sight.

Plus im kind of hoping we get to experiance some of our other senses, like being able to taste metal composition and such.

>>31300700
>Knock.

jesus christ, no rocks. I see a roll otherwise and dread what a 1 would do. We'd probably throw it so hard we'd kill Aunt May or something.

>>31300797
Sense 5 here, though I'd like Geointuitive vision as well. Has a lot of potential offensively and defensively

>>31300862
>, like being able to taste metal composition and such.

We'd sorta be like that mentally handicapped FDA agent from Chew.

The one who could tell you every ingredient in whatever he ate.

>>31300732
Seriously? Remember claws? Remember wings? We were aiming to save up before that (at least some people). Not to mention Phasebros.
>>31300752
How about just severe limitations and prerequisites of it, that can be decreased, as more points are invested (1 at the time)?
Just that we make dumb choices, as soon as we get couple of point's.

But I am in minority that thinks we can just use a knife, instead of evolving tail with a bone protrusion that can slice bread.

>>31300797
That really depends on how distracting Senses 5 turns out to be. I can see JJ jumping at shadows for a long time after we acquire that.

>>31300862
Well, the thing is that the spidersense doesn't tell where the danger is coming from, it only tells you when there's a danger incoming.

>>31300898
He's adapted pretty well so far, even if he is confused.

>>31300920
Oh I'm not saying he won't get the hang of it, but given that Crusty's said that our Danger Sense won't give directional or much information about the magnitude of the threat I think it might take a while for JJ to sort it out.

Senses 5 won't make us immune to ambushes, somebody will be too fast or the attack simply cannot be dodged.

Also, geointuitive vision can be used for than just reactions (throwing shit like Bullseye)

personally, I'd rather start working towards green finger but whatever

>>31300901
Spidersense is the cherry on top, its the better enhanced senses that are the important part.

>>31300901
Even still. Early warning will help a hell of allot.

I sort of wish that in some situations JJ and Pete both get spidersense trigger at same time and they'll do the exact same movements and both are like "Holy crap"

>>31300998
Yea, but the senses 5 doesn't JUST give JJ spidersense, it also improves the other senses.
Unless I've misunderstood how it works.

>>31301028
>they'll do the exact same movements
That's not how it works.

>>31300998
Spider sense warns of impending danger.

When it goes off, we go invisible and duck.

Danger (more than likely) avoided.

>[X] Knock.

You raise your hand to knock, glancing from side to side.

The nerves set in. Not even supposed to be here, really, are you? Real person house in the middle of real person street. You can’t help but feel as though someone’s watching you, just out of sight, and shaking their head in disapproval. You bite down on your lip and tap quietly at the door.

A minute passes. Nothing. Too quiet? Maybe you should knock again?

But then you might come off as pushy or something. Maybe they’re just busy.

You wait a little longer, before eventually plucking up the guts to knock again, turning up the volume a little. Footsteps thunder down a set of stairs, drawing steadily closer.

The door swings open. A bleary-eyed girl – Gwen was her name, right – stares out from under a mop of blonde hair, adjusting her pyjamas slightly with a spare hand.

“Ummyea”– Her nose wrinkles and she backs up a little. –“ugh, man, sorry, you kinda stink.”

Oh, man, yeah. You do. Dumpster threads.

“Y-yeah, I know…”

“You want Peter, right?”

You nod.

“Um, yeah, just…” She scratches the back of her neck. “I’ll go get him. Come in, I guess.”

Beyond your own personal miasma, you think you can smell eggs frying.

JJ is self conscious

>>31301172
Also a km might be a bit far without telescopic vision or something to that effect. JJ needs to see it if he wants to hit it, probably.

>>31301136
He can lift 2 tons, so probably really fucking fast.

You do realize that if you stand on the street, there's more chance that somebody sees you.

>[x] Nah, nah, it’s cool, you don’t want to stink up his lovely home.

“N-nah.” You mutter. “I’m good.”

She shrugs, and makes her way back into the house.

“Hey, Pete!” She shouts, almost at the top of her lungs. “Your hobo friend’s here!”

You cringe. Announce it to the whole neighbourhood, why doesn’t she?

Something clatters to the floor upstairs. A moment later, Peter comes racing down the stairs, eyes wide. You guess he wasn’t expecting you to turn up at his door anytime soon. Hell, he might not’ve been expecting you to turn up at all. You yourself still can’t believe that anyone bothered looking for you – you’d have left yourself for dead long before a week.

“Hey!” He makes his way to the door. “Holy crap, you’re”–

“Alive?”

He pauses, and sort of smiles.

“Yeah.”

“Well, uh, yeah, I’m okay.” Yesterday your arms were wings! That’s how okay you are! “I was just, um, wondering about Urich. He alright?”

“Well…” Peter’s expressions teeters in the sober little space between relief and melancholy. “…He’s alive. Once they got what they wanted, his kidnappers just let him go. He’s not gonna be at the Bugle anytime soon, though.”

You guessed as much.

“What about you?” You perk up a little at the question, raising a curious eyebrow. What about you? “What happened after… all that stuff…?”

God, how could you even begin to explain it all? You’re barely in the loop yourself.

“You wouldn’t believe a word of it.” You say. Peter grins.

“I can believe a lot of things. Try me.”

“Well…” You explain the cocoon. The sopping, reeking awakening. The feverish dreams of home. You explain what little you can of Typhon, turning your voice down as low as possible, just on the off-chance that anyone’s listening. You doubt Peter wants his family to know about any of this.

He grimaces through most of it, though there’s a twinkle of something other in his eyes, something growing and growing…

He scratches his chin, furrowing his brow. “Joseph Typhon… I swear I recognize that…”

“Yeah, uh, Typhon. Greek mythology. He was the”–

“No, no… I mean the whole name…” He squints into some far-off vista of thought, before grudgingly withdrawing back to reality. “…Maybe it’s nothing. I’ll look him up, though. Any scientist worth his PhD leaves some kind of paper trail.”

“Thanks.” Man, you feel kinda bad about asking any more of him… “Actually, I was also kinda wondering… did your girlfriend…” You pause, blanking on her name.

“Chat.”

“Chat!” Right, yeah. “Uh, did she phone those guys? The agency people?”

“Oh.” Peter smiles. “Yeah, she did. Technically a girl, not some guys, but… yeah, she did. Apparently her boss liked the sound of ‘invisible strong guy’. Especially the ‘invisible’ bit.”

Yeah, you don’t say?

“S-seriously?”

He nods. “Yeah, I could tell her to call you”–

“Phone exploded.” You say, almost apologetically.

“Oh.” He blinks. “Okay. Well, I’m pretty sure Laura has her number, so you can get in touch through her.”

Gears click into place up above. You feel the world shift, just very slightly.

“Thanks, man. Really.”

Thanks.

Why not? He can make tings have more energy, and oxidize (brake stuff into ash), so if he toned it down, he could theoretically age/grow stuff.

What? No. At its first rank the mere use of the breath doesn't trigger a panic attack unless it's actually ignited by something else. Ranking it up would just make every single use a gamble.

>>31301960
No way man, making it stronger would probably raise the DC since it would involve more fire. The DC goes away once JJ conquers his phobia, not through spending points

>>31301943
Absolutely this times a million

>>31301916
>[ x ] Warn him about Creeper.
>[ x ] Say goodbye.

>>31301991

It'd be more accurate to say that JJ can "fall with style" now. He hasn't quite mastered the whole flying thing.

>Warn all the tings! Dude should know what to watch out for.

>>31301957
Well if we come up with something cool enough, that crusty likes, there is no reason for him not to do it. Gotta be awesome tho.

Next post might be a little late. Candles going out, need to find more.

>>31301966
Geointuitive vision would be sweet, but echolocation seems unnecessary and points that would go to that could be spent on improving powers we already bought

>>31302012
What about the DC for just using normal powers? Does breath only roll for the phobia not the actually usage? Like how we fucked up flying and adhesive that one time.

>>31301935
There's got a be a stretch of dirt somewhere in the scar.

or JJ could just use his strength and make one

>>31301876
>Higher senses
senses 5 is overrated imo. spidey sense is not ambush proof and an additional +1 to senses rolls isn't worth 4 points imo.

Not to mention I'm just flat out hesitant since the lack of an official pastebin for tier one powers opens the doors for misinformation baseless speculation (our memories are not perfect anon)

>agility, taser hands, claws
imo, they're fine as they are

>especially subdermal armor.
this I can get behind, this with level 3 wings gives us shields

>>31302041
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that rolling when using the breath is for the phobia, not to actually shoot fire.

>>31302012
Wrong

The DC is not dependant on the power of the flame, just that their is flame.

>>31302064
My point was that there isn't any fire at all at level 1 draconic breath. I think the description was that it's just volatile gas. Leveling it up brings it up to actual fire, which would make the DC harder since the phobia is for fire, not just hot gas.

>>31301916
>Turn on TV

Going to be honest, there's a joke here but I'm too stunned to figure it out.

>>31302063
>>31302064
These are both correct. Upgrading the power will not raise or lower the DC at all.

>>31302049
>senses 5 is overrated imo.

Crusty has said that it helps us fight Creeper.

>Not to mention I'm just flat out hesitant since the lack of an official pastebin for tier one powers opens the doors for misinformation baseless speculation (our memories are not perfect anon)

I fully agree with you on this.

Crusty needs to man the fuck up on that.

>>31301916
Also ask to use shower and washing machine.

we can detect creeper now with just senses 4.

another thing that bugs me, JJ's powers are being built around killing 3 people. just 3 people.

>>31302195
>we can detect creeper now with just senses 4.

I'm not sure if Crusty has agreed to that or not.

Another reason why he needs to make an official powers pastebin with clear limitations and effects.

> JJ's powers are being built around killing 3 people. just 3 people.

Not really.

Wings, Electrostatic Hands, Strength, Claws, etc. were all good at the moment or really fucking cool.

>>31302195
Wrong

>>31302195
No we can't, we have equivalent to Laura's scent. And all she gets is a paint thinner smell when she's in a room that he had previously been in.

Near worthless.

>>31302234
wings were because JJ always wanted to fly
tazers were for chameleon theme(what fun time that was)
strength and claws were to get out of spidey's web

Gwen wanted to see the invisibility thing, right?
Why not show her? Hell, if she wants, she can try it herself.

>>31302275

Exactly what I said, Anon.

>>31302264
>And all she gets is a paint thinner

Just paint, not paint thinner.

>>31302195
You're right its not like the powers we aquired in order to defeat our worst enemies will be helpful in any other situation ever.

>>31302275
tazers were for chameleon theme
It was mostly because of the theme but taser hands is one of the most useful abilities we have. I don't know why people would complain about it.

Okay back, and writan.

>>31302372

Honestly, we really should upgrade our tasers at some point. It's the most potent weapon we've got against enemies that are tougher on the outside than they are on the inside, of which there are plenty in the Marvel universe.

It's basically our version of Miles Morales' venom shock.

>>31302264
She can tell where the source of the paint smell is in a room. That's pretty good.

>>31302457

We shouldn't rely on Laura all the time.

spidey sense would let us blind fight him, not find him

>Kind of. At a higher level you could smell the scents associated with him,

level 4 sounds higher level to me.

not to mention we do everything else other than smell better than Laura in the senses department

>>31302307
There's no guaranteed insta-kill power for Kimmy and Typhon, and Creeper uses his mooks, he is not personally combing the streets for JJ.

>>31302195
Right, because Dragon Breath is useful specifically for killing individuals, two of which are immune to heat damage and the Creeper who will probably avoid getting close enough forums to use it on him.

>>31302483
>level 4 sounds higher level to me.

So does Level 5

>>31302483
If you're so against senses (and every power we have) what do you want to get? It sounds like you're just complaining for the sake of complaining.

>There's no guaranteed insta-kill power for Kimmy and Typhon
well, there was one

>>31302483
And yet level 5 lets us sense him better.

And also blind fight him.
Y'know, the only way to fight an INVISIBLE man.

>>31302566
Two actually if you count vampiric touch

>>31302483
>Creeper uses his mooks, he is not personally combing the streets for JJ.

He met with us in person in circumstances where he didn't want us murdered. There is no indication that he only uses mooks for dirty work, only that he has mooks.

That he doesn't even use for delivering messages.

>>31302613
>That he doesn't even use for delivering messages.

The hobo that delivered a message to us.

>>31302613
Us meeting Creeper in that dinner was probably our version of Bruce Willis meeting the Markus Wallace guy just outside of Big Kahuna Burgers.
damn that's some tasty burgers

>>31302566
taserhands 4 would have been cheaper than the necessary level for Sonic scream to hurt her (not just stun her)

>>31302613

“By the way,” You feel like you should return the favour in some small way “I’d be on my guard if I were you.”

Peter furrows his brow questioningly.

“Yeah, there’s… these guys…” These stupid-ass guys. “…mutants, actually, pretty much going around stealing crap. So, y’know, watch out.”

Speaking of scary things, there’s that other little side effect of your personal war against Creeper…

“…Actually, you might just want to give all Creeper’s old territory a wide berth. A bunch of NY’s worst’ve decided to move in on his action, and it looks like it could get messy…”

“Yeah…” He eyes you a little trepidatiously. “I know. It’s all over the papers. Apparently someone’s even managed to switch production back on for that Jack stuff…”

What? How did that happen? Creeper covers his damn tracks. He’s a pro. He wouldn’t just leave shit lying around for someone to –

Sighing a little wearily, you say goodbye, but a thought darts out as you as you turn to leave.

“Hey, Peter?”

“Yeah?”

“You, uh… you said most scientists leave a paper trial, right?”

“Mhmm.” He nods. “Theses, peer reviews, stuff like that. It’s all there if you know where to look.”

“Would you mind looking up a Joshua Green?” You’re going to regret this. You can feel it, throbbing like a dormant storm in the base of your skull. “Y-y’know, just, if you have some time to spare?”

He seems surprised for a moment, but them… sort of… understanding?

“Yeah, sure.”

You thank him and make your way off his porch, back into the fury of New York.

I don't care if you believe it or not, but not everyone is that petty. It seems like everyone in this thread except you is in agreement that either senses level 5 or geo vision is the most useful power we could get right now.

I want to know why you're so against it. Unless you're just complaining for the sake of complaining.

>>31302874
I am for geo vision. JJ cant trow tings worth a crap right now. Senses are nice and all,but we can smell anyone that is sneaking up on us anyway, and we can't dodge anything we cant see/smell hear now anyhow.

>>31302874
not everyone, but why chance it?

let us now drop this meandering "discussion" and go back to focus on the quest. the point spending(if any) will occur at the end of thread.

>>31302970
But its boring. We are looking for people, and not using our senses. We might as well wonder around aimlessly. And The people we are looking for are not weary exciting.

I like geo vision too, in fact that's what I would be voting for next, before considering druid stuff.

>[X] Chat.

Questions bubble at the forefront of your brain as you stalk your way back through the cold. You can’t imagine Creeper giving an inch to anyone. You were there in his days of glory – you saw him claw and connive and kill his way to prominence. The Russians challenged the Creeper, and the Russians died screaming. The Maggia challenged the Creeper, and the Maggia recoiled as though from an open fire, back to the Brooklyn, where they could lick their wounds in peace. It takes a special kind of evil to attract the attention of the Kingpin, and Creeper had it in spades.

Maybe he’s just getting slow? Maybe he’s older than you always assumed?

No. Doesn’t feel like that.

You pick up a paper on your way, feeling a little guilty for using your invisibility to circumvent the cost. It does little to clear up the situation. “JACK IS BACK” , the headline declares, in a gaunt, grave font, but nobody’s sure how it’s gotten back on the streets in such volume. There are some vague implications made against Thompson Lincoln (better known as Tombstone) and his like, as well as a few Russian and Chinese names you don’t recognize, but whoever’s doing the writing is clearly treading with care.

>>31303125
>or socially capable?

The sun is peeking through the clouds at a high angle by the time you make it back, heading down into the cool, dark refuge of the station. The moment you hit the bottom of the stairs, Laura seems to materialize from one of the other platforms, her eyes cutting through the gloom.

“Where have you been?” It almost sounds like an accusation.

“Uh… I just went out for a while.” You offer, a little taken aback. Lounging by the fire in the centre of the platform, Gaby and Layla both look up. “Saw Peter an’ stuff.”

A long silence hangs in the air. The world almost seems to grind to a halt, all becoming still. Is she even blinking?

“…I see.”

Okay.

“Um, hey, actually, I was wondering…” You ask her to send a text Chat’s way, and she agrees in silence, offering only a nod.

That out of the way, you resolve to find that Jeb guy, let him know his family are in trouble. Family should stick together.

spider sense is good because it would help stop JJ from walking into a trap like the one Kimura pulled. Or maybe we walk up to the Corsairs only to find our Creeper paid them to capture us. That kind of thing.

Geo vision is good because it offers both offensive and defensive abilities. And maybe a mobility bonus for judging distances when we're doing crazy parkour shit.

Both are equally good in my book.

Also it will help with flight and parlor shit, as we can calculate our fall and stuff. If ve invis, we can look around, and with our senses we can hear/smell/see stuff beforehand.

As for super smart, he is as smart as we make him. no real point in investing big points there, its better to let someone else do the talking.

That Tabby Cat doesn't seem like the best place for that kind of thing, and as >>31303504 mentioned JJ would probably screw it up.

Acutely aware of Laura’s lingering stare, you can’t help but feel a little judged as you ask Kevin if he can introduce you to the… man, if your brain could make a noise, it’d be sighing… ‘Young X-Men’.

“Oh, yeah, sure.” He springs up, rolling down his synthetic sleeves and moving away from the length of rebar he’d been focusing on. You can’t help but notice the long, delicate grooves trailing across its surface, like some kind of strange, alien script. You guess he’s getting pretty precise with those powers of his.

“Um…” You glance at Laura. “You want to come, Laura?”

She finally disengages her stare, her brow curling inward very slightly, eyes descending in thought.

“Yes.”

“Okay, coo”–

“I’m coming, too!” Layla picks herself up from what must be her millionth game of cards against Noriko (you’ve yet to discern what she’s actually playing… odds are on some kind of diabolical game of her own design). “It’ll be”… her eyes water, her form reels back, and she sneezes hard, long, gleaming cord of snot flying from her nose. “…fun.”

You notice the slight croak in her voice and the bags under her eyes.

"Um... maybe you should sit this one out, Layla..." Suggests Gaby, a note of concern entering her timid voice.

>[ ] Nope.jpg you have a cold.
