HOLY SHIT!!!

CHLOROPHYLL
Requires: Healing Vitae, Level 2 Photosynthetic Biology.
Cost: 1
JJ’s biology now shares enough in common with flora for his blood to affect plant life, causing it to heal and grow at vastly accelerated rates. JJ has no control over flora affected in this way, but it generally grows to be remarkably healthy and difficult to remove.

MUTATE FLORA
Requires: Chlorophyll, Level 2 Photosynthetic Biology.
Cost: 2
JJ’s blood now causes plant life to mutate (random) defence mechanisms similar to mutant powers. Though he still has no control over flora affected this way, it will recognize and protect him.

AMBROSIA
Requires: Chlorophyll, Mutate Flora, Level 3 Photosynthetic Biology.
Cost: 3
Fruit borne from plant life mutated via JJ’s Chlorophyll ability now has moderate healing properties. Continued consumption can even correct minor genetic disorders.

THE JOSHUA TREE
Requires: Chlorophyll, Ambrosia, Level 4 Photosynthetic Biology.
Cost: 4
Fruit borne from plant life mutated via JJ’s Chlorophyll ability can now induce X-gene activation in flatscans. Continued consumption can correct major genetic disorders, improve miscellaneous qualities (like eyesight) and heal complex conditions such as cancer or Alzheimer’s.

Alas, things to do.

DIRECTED RADIATION PULSE
Requires: Level 3 Draconic Breath, Level 2 Photosynthetic Biology.
Cost: 2
Drawing on his stored reserves of sunlight, JJ can choose to convert his fiery breath into a blast of solar radiation. This coherent beam of radiant energy lacks the area of effect that Draconic Breath usually allows for, but has exceptional focused power.

>>32263467
Full Gojira. Makes me not mind dragon breath slightly, but it could still use a flash-bang type expansion.

7 points, is not bad, and we get vitae and photo.
Not that bad.

On the plus side, Magneto would be our bestest friend forever.
On the downside, everyone would know we were Magneto's bestest friend forever. We'd be target number 1 for humanity first and all their ilk. And we'd be putting thousands of people through the same shit we went through.
Also, we'd bleed to death in short order.

Tempting as it is to fold back into the realm of sleep, you foresee a busy day – or half a day, anyhow – ahead of you. Gotta follow up on that stuff with the Blonde Phantom, and then there’s the Hellion stuff, and you guess the X-kids will want to know that out of ten you are an eleven star vampire hunter.

Busy, busy.

Exchanging a drowsy nod with Lucas, you pick at the some of the snacks lying among the groceries. You’re not really feeling hungry enough for real food, but you could do with something that tastes of not halitosis. You quietly munch your way through a packet of potato chips, realizing toward the end that you don’t even know what flavour this is – beef somethingorother, maybe with tomato stuff. Whatever, it’s all artificial crap anyhow. Your steadily improving senses have grown pretty damn adept at telling the fake from the real. Chips basically taste like miscellaneous chemicals to you now.

>>32263349
23 points for all of it.

Eh, at least get Photo I and leave it at that.

>(2/2)

Heaving yourself up off the stairs, you make your way to the edge of the tracks, where Noriko sits a good few feet from your slumbering vampire. She glances up at your approach, waving in that unenthused, early-morning way. You can hear the tiny, invisible notes of static crawling along her skin.

“Nice sleep?” She asks, rubbing her own eyes a little, as if she just reminded herself of how tired she is. There are little dark bags curved atop her cheeks. “You’ve been out for ages. Not like you.”

She can be pretty perceptive sometimes, that one.

“Yeah…” Yeah. It is a little odd. “Guess so. I’m just kinda tired lately. How’s the girl doing?”

She shrugs.

“No idea. She’s still breathing, if that’s what you mean.” She thinks for a moment, before narrowing her eyes up at you. “She best not go homicidal when she wakes up.”

That would make you just about the king of bad decisions, wouldn’t it?

No, its dumpster time. We should get some more good stuff, if we see it. Especially metal plates for armor. And maybe something to tie down the sleeping psycho. We don't want to hurt our friends. Maybe some cower?

“I’ll watch her a while.” You offer. “Get some sleep.”

She looks like she needs it.

“Don’t mind if I do.” Rocking slightly on her haunches, Noriko gets up, patting you on the shoulder as she passes you by.

Hunkering down beside the old tracks, you watch the girl for a while. She’s quiet now – no shuffling or muttering or weird flickering. Probably a deeper sleep than the kind you’re used to. Sometimes you wonder if you’ve ever cried out in your sleep, or kicked, or – you dunno – done any murmuring or whatever, but you’ve never really plucked up the courage to ask. Sleep is a secret, shameful place. You don’t like the idea of it leaking out into other people’s lives.

The relative quiet gives your thoughts some space, and for a while you just mull things over. You wonder where she came from, how she ended up in the scar. You wonder how many of these people have stories like yours. You remember there were little snippets – flashes, flickers – of a backstory woven into her incognisant muttering, but it was all contradictory.

Still, she got in your head somehow. What if she’s a telepath or whatever? That particular thought honestly scares you. You don’t want people trudging around in your memories, rifling through all your dirty laundry. You smell bad enough on the outside – what’s inside must be rotten to the core by now.

“Whuuuu…” A thick, husky voice pulls your from your thoughts, and you slowly realize that it’s not one you recognize. “Whurramm…”

She’s coming too, slowly lifting her head off the ground.

>>32265142
There was a time and place for them.

>>32265074
If she had adaptive mutation, her primary mutation could have also mutated as a result of absorbing a mutation that causes further mutation in reaction to other mutations.

It could be hard reset, it could be she mutated permanently, it could be she's temporarily in this state thanks to warp spasm weakening.

Interested to see which

>>32265142
Let's build a snowman?

Well, what would you want to hear?

“You’re somewhere safe. Ish.” You say, struggling a little with that lie. The scar is only safe in relation to the perimeter of an active volcano. But you most certainly wouldn’t want to hear that. “Sorry to ask, but how much do you remember?”

“Whatt’re…” She retches a little, leaning heavily on her elbows. That thick mane of white-streaked hair clouds her expression from view, but you see her visibly tense up when she realizes that she’s naked under that blanket. Curling up, she shuffles hurriedly away from you, grasping the fabric close. “D-don’t you touch me, don’t you even try!”

Damn, her accent is super thick. She must be from the Deep South. Maybe the Deepest South.

“Believe me, I’m definitely not doing that.” You shift your weight off your heels, just in case you need to move quickly. “Look, could you just tell me anything you remember about yesterday?”

She squints at you, rubbing feverishly at her forehead. Her hair is plastered together by wads of drool and the remains of her makeup make her look like a very minimalist clown.

“I don’t… I don’t remember much’a anythin’…”

She seems kinda like she’s fumbling with her own thoughts, like everything’s just out of reach. Maybe you can say something to jog her memory.

And, are you normally in New York City?

>>32265177
"Let's start off simple."

>>32265177

Start off simple and nice.

Give our name too.

>>32265177
>[ ] “What’s your name?”
>[ ] "What are your powers?"

>>32265177
>[ ] “What’s your name?”
>after she answers, "What's the last thing you remember? I'll fill in what I can."

>>32265177
>>[ ] “What’s your name?”
Start with something simple...
>>[ ] “What were you doing last night?”
Then try to lead her through it, ease it along...
>>[ ] “How many people have you attacked?”
Then drop the bomb.

>>32265177
>>[ ] “What’s your name?”
>>[ ] “What were you doing last night?”

>>32265177
The latter two are terrible questions to ask at all. She just said she doesn't remember much of anything.

Ask big-picture questions like name and where she lives normally, how long she's been in NYC, etc.

Since she was possibly another kidnapping victim from the boat.

>>32265270

Seconded.

Or trying to get home and not having been on that boat, since she went after a telekinetic and a guy with wings.

She was almost definitely not even herself by the time she did those though.

She was all psychic'd up.

>>32265270
This may have started on the boat, cramped into a container full of folks her powers killed because of inescapable contact.

>>32265301
This

>>32265329

Possible.

There's a ton of potential explanations here and we should take things slow to figure out what really happened.

>>32265177
"You don't sound like you're from around here."

>>32265297
This.

>>32265177
Introduce yourself, ask what she remembers.
Try to sound helpfull.
If she is embarrassed remind her that she tore of your shirt yesterday.

>>32265177
>>32265232
Me again, add introductions because I somehow forgot that and >>32265301
made that good point.

>>32265297
This.

>>32265297
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK

>[X] “What’s your name?”

Let’s start simple.

“What’s your name?” You ask, trying your best to stay soft-spoken in the face of a possible mutant overload. “I’m JJ, by the way.”

“My…” She focuses on you for a moment, gnawing at her hair, her expression gradually growing more frustrated. “But I’m… no… I’m Ruth – nah, no, that… that was th’girl with the bandages… she was nice…”

Slowly, she droops forward, cradling her head in her hands.

“Oh, god,” It comes out as long, tired gasp. “She’s not dead is, she? She’s alright?”

You don’t know a Ruth. You remember that there was a girl with the Young X-Men, though. She had bandages all over her eyes.

In the corner of your vision, you notice Laura and Layla both getting up.

>[ ] “She’s fine.” (lie)
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”
>[ ] “Have you hurt anyone else?”
>[ ] “Try not to think about her.”

>>32265297
GIVE ME BACK MY SON.

>>32265497
>>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>>32265497
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

"The people you've touched seem to be getting better, though. The bird guy is fine, I think."

>>32265497
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>>32265497
>>[ ] “Have you hurt anyone else?”

>>32265497

>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

Reassure her that her victims seem to be on the mend.

>>32265497
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”
"Absorbing memories on touch, and putting the recipient into a coma? Congrats, Kevin. You no longer have the shittiest powerset!"

>>32265497
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>>32265497
>>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>Whats your deal/trigger for going crazy?

Gotta watch out, and help ourselves not get buttfucked.

>>32265497
>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”
>"We could visit later if you're feeling up to it. You're not the first person I've met with powers that make physical contact difficult."

>>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>"She'll be fine "

>>32265497
>>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”
"From what I've seen, the people you hurt are recovering. Slowly, but they're getting better. At least the ones we know about."

>>32265497
>>[ ] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”

>>32265497
Does JJ know that he ate chunks out of rouge and marrow? or do we only know that OOC?

How many mutants in the Scar are there?

I'm guessing 198.

>>32265497
>>[ ] “Try not to think about her.”

Seriously where do you live? Not NYC.

>>32265574
This and ask for description "Girl with a blindfold? Dark hair?"

>>32265868
Probably good idea to be more specific. In case she zapped a few other bandaged girls.

>(1/2)
>[X] “You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.”
>[X] Write in.

“You did a number on her, but she’s not dead.” Man, you hope you’re talking about the right person. You don’t want to be JJ of the False Hope. Your friend’s alive – PSYCHE! “Everyone you’ve, uh… you’ve effected… seems be to be getting better. The ones we know about, anyway.”

She sags to the ground, letting her forehead take her weight. You get the impression she’s doing her best to hide her face from you.

“T-there wuss… there was a guy with these big wings”– That’s gotta be Sam’s brother –“an’ then this guy who, I dunno, I think – think he was tryin’ a’ help me or somethin’, I can’t…” A wince passes down her spine. “…an’ these, these twins, except their mind, it was like… like one person…”

>(2/2)

Right. That’s new to you. Them’s some people you’ve never heard of. Might want to make sure they’re alright.

“…and… and…” She blinks, and through the tangle of her hair, you see a wide eye focus on you. “I… I’ll never tell. I swear, I’ll never tell.”

…What?

“I swear on my life.” She’s practically whispering now. “I swear, I’ll never tell a thing ‘bout it, what happened by the docks, with the vanishing guy…”

You feel yourself turn pale. The taste of blood fills your mouth. The swaying of black waters. Smell of iron – the chain, the anchor, the red. You nod nervously and try not to let it get to you, but inside, something is screaming, goading – sheknowssheknowssheknows – to do something about it, get rid of her somehow.

“Look… I’ve, uh, I’ve had experiences with powers like this before, okay?” Experience. Singular. He’s sleeping fifteen feet or so away. “It’s alright. Maybe we can visit that girl, Ruth, later? Would that be cool?”

She nods sullenly.

Its either referring to the lake where our sister threw us then punched a rocket, or that time when we freed a bunch of mutants, or something else I don't know anymore

>>32266085
Yeah, that was while we worked for Creeper. One of the flashbacks, can't remember which thread.

>>32266047
First things first, get her some damn food. Breakfast is the first meal of the day.
Send someone out for clothes.

>>32266085
>>32266118
I believe that was in a flashback. It sounds familiar.

Something to do with a sniper that JJ spotted with Creeper right?

>>32266085
The job with 'Cuda not all the Mughals made it out. I think that's what it's about, but the Davy Jones thing would be cool to

>>32266047
>>[ ] “Why’re you in the scar?”
I don't think she was on the boat, at least. She was in NYC proper at some point - we ran into her at a phone shop.

>>32266085
self defense, he had a gun

>>32266143
This is it. I gave you guys a flashback a while ago of JJ's first kill.

You took a dive in the river with some guy and had to bash his head in to stop him from drowning you.

>>32266085
Yeah. It's about how JJ accidental iced that would be sniper.

>>32266158
>>32266143
>>32266131


maybe Crusty should do a recap thread or something. the Quest has gone on for sometime.

and people just can't be bothered to read the archives it seems....

>>32266131
>>32266138
>>32266143
The flashback where JJ killed a guy? Or it could be something we haven't learned about yet.

>>32266213
Would not be helpful.

Really we need someone to write a summery, maybe list some of JJ's important character defining choices as well.

>>32266219
Crusty says:

>>32266213
>people just can't be bothered to read the archives it seems
It never occurred to me to read the archive when I've been around for nearly every thread since the beginning.

>>32266254
I know. I hadn't refreshed my browser. I saw his post right after I made mine.

>>32266265
You're leaving out the "and" part of that. It's important, because it allowed the inclusion of the people who don't remember when something happened and the new people (which was who the quote was applying to, I think).

>>32266242
I could do it. Though I'd need a little time to summarize everything. I could also go throw the archives and make a list of all the questions people have asked Crusty, so people don't ask the same thing repeatedly.

and I've been here since the first thread

neither one of us is getting a medal for it.

misremembering is nothing new to the thread.

still think the playerbase would benefit from a recap thread, maybe CJ doing a Q&A session and or that Peter Parker POV write up-omake he's talked of in the past.

or at least a pastebin with major bullet points.

>>32266354
You are the best of anons.

>>32266213
If a player wants to write up a summary that would be awesome. But, I would rather crusty work on new content than go over old stuff.

Re-cap episodes suck.

>>32266354
It would be appreciated, and very useful. Shame Crusty didn't include in game dates, then we could track JJ's power mutation rate.

>>32266354
I have completely lost track of the number of times people ask a question in thread that I know for a fact Crusty has already answered.

I think that most of the new people only read the story posts and ignore the rest when going through the archive. It's kind of annoying.

>>32266450
Yeah, the pyrophobe did the chick whose bodily fluids are napalm.

>>32266450
So, does that mean someone sodomized jj?

>[X] “Why’re you in the sca– Exclusion Zone?”
>[X] “You have anyone you can contact?”

“Why’re you in the sca”– You stop yourself, remembering that the world is (thankfully) unaware of your internal lingo. “Why’re you in the Exclusion Zone?”

Looking down at the ground, she swallows hard.

“I… dunno… I s’ppose this guy told me it was safe for… for people like us.” Well, that was some misleading advertising right there. You could take a guy to court over that. “…He tried ‘ta sell me these pills, said they’d make my powers better…”

You can’t help but perk up slightly at that.

“…I didn’t have enough money, so he said he’d give me a free sample, like, to prove it worked…” She trails off.

“Did it?” You ask.

She nods. “Y-yeah, it worked alrigh’. For ‘bout eight hours. Then I…”

She doesn’t continue, but you can just about guess what happened. The Jack wore off and she didn’t notice. You decide to change to subject, for now, but you have to admit, that got you interested. Freebies aren’t really Creeper’s style. Julian mentioned that someone else had been peddling Jack – the ‘Russians’, according to him – but you didn’t expect them to be so… liberal with it.

“You have anyone you can contact? Anyone at all?”

“I… I got an aunt. But”– She shakes her head frantically. “I can’t! I can’t ever, not after what happened…”

>[X] Let it be.

You kinda want to dig deeper, maybe shift things back to the subject of that friendly man with the pills, but you know when a mutie needs her space. And you need to get gone at some point. Places to be, things to do. More things, now.

“Okay, look, I’m gonna have to get going in a minute…” She glances over your shoulder, at the rest of your subterranean abode. “…But nobody here’s gonna hurt you or anything. Right?”

You glance over at an ever-watchful Laura, who nods in confirmation. Eventually. She seemed to put some thought into that.

“By the by…” You grunt a little, heaving yourself up. “Maybe it’s not a good idea to see your folks, I dunno. But a letter could be good. Just a little something to let them know you’re okay.”

Maybe you’re just being overbearing or projective or whatever, but you’d sure as hell snap at the chance to maybe see your family again. You went everywhere with your mom before the day finally came, but you still feel like you could’ve squeezed a little more time in if you tried harder. Somehow.

She nods in silence, seeming to at least give the thought a once-over.
