“So… this ampiteatur” – You and Lucas both cringe a little at Noriko’s pronunciation. Her English is good, but she stumbles over certain words. – “is there a play on, or something?”

“I don’t know, actually.” It dawns on you for a moment that the piano might not even be there. “I think it’s, like, a public thing? I think people can hire it out.”

As you approach the gentle decline leading up to the theater, you notice a good number of people milling around, some of them speaking in hushed tones. Voices cut through the low babble as you get closer, and from the edge of the earthen bowl, you can see that a good half of the seats are filled. People cluster in groups, eking away at each other’s warmth, watching the performance taking place on the heavy stone stage down below.

“…thou not lead him through the glimmering night…”

You recognize the characters immediately. It’s an odd play to be running out in the cold.

“Well, it’s not what I was expecting…”

It’s kind of nostalgic, though. You remember being sort of bored with Shakespeare by the time you were out of school – probably because he got shoved down your throat every single year. But it’s nice, and there’s something sort of wickedly charming about the way it’s being played.

“So what?” Layla squints down at the stage, biting her lip comically. “Look at these costumes, they’re awesome. I could do better, of course, but I’d need a whole bag of glitter, probably one of those welding things, the things they have at school…”

“Soldering irons.” Says Lucas, almost reflexively.

“Whatevs.”

You shrug, turning to the others.

“What about you guys? You want to give this a miss?”

“Eh.” Noriko shrugs back, the halfhearted tone in her voice suggesting that she’ll just defer to whatever makes Layla happy. “It seems cool.”

“Never seen it before.” Says Lucas. “We did Lear at school. It was alright.”

You turn to Laura. She glances down at the figures sweeping across the stage, their limbs moving in slow, regal arcs, and for a moment you think her eyes linger on one of them.

“It’s fine.” She says, eventually.

Okay then. Shakespeare in the park it is.

You guys sit down near the back, Layla immediately monopolizing your lap. She’s a goddamn radiator. You’re pretty sure the play is a student thing, some kind of class demonstration or something – the actors are all young and exuberant, a fey glimmer in their eyes that lends a kind of fresh believability to things. On Layla’s insistence, you explain some of the characters – starting with the ‘girl with the best dress’.

“That’s Titania, she’s the queen of… of the fairies, basically.”

“Rad. What about him?”

>(2/2)

She jabs her finger down at the young man in the fetching, almost unbelievably light robes. You know immediately who he is. His attire is the color of autumn leaves and speckled amber, flowing behind each of his exaggerated, lordly motions. A horned crown sits atop his dark head of hair, laced all around by lilies and bright lotus petals. For a moment, it reminds you of your own horns, and you almost panic before realizing that they’re clearly not poking out of your head right now. You guess they must’ve retracted while you slept.

You can feel them there, though, coiled up in the marrow of your skull. It almost feels like it’d be more natural, more comfortable, to have them out.

“That’s her husband, Oberon. The king of the forest.”

Slowly, between the words and the magic, the evening begins to lean toward night. The last scraps of dark blue drain from the sky and the clouds arch aside, opening out into nothing but black. Around you, your friends watch in silence (yes, even Layla) as the play gradually draws them in.

Lysander is speaking of revenge when you notice, or you think you notice, one of the people in the group a few seats to one side – a young girl in a hoodie – staring at you. As if sensing your attention, she looks away, nudging closer to her companion.

Okay, JJ, don’t make a fuss now. Don’t want to ruin a perfectly good night out because you couldn’t keep your paranoia in check. After all, how likely is it, really, that she’s calling the MCA or someone? Or that she even noticed your weird-ass eyes? It’s dark, you probably look like some kind of vaguely humanoid blob of shadow from her seat.

Or, y’know, maybe not.

Cutting out the oration from down below, the thrum of hearts and minds and lungs heaving, you whittle your senses down to a scalpel’s point, driving it into her back.

The results are inconclusive. She’s not saying anything to her friend – boyfriend, if you had to guess. But you’re pretty sure you can hear her texting someone.

Do the MCA have a text line? If they do, you’ve never heard of it. Are you behind the times? Have you become an old codger in the rapidly changing field of grinding dirt in the faces of minorities?

You bite your lip nervously. She could be texting anyone.

Only way to know for sure would be to get closer… but that could blow things up if you’re not just being paranoid.

It really could be nothing, you tell yourself.

You don’t know this person. Usually you assume that’s a bad thing, but this time you’re willing to make an exception. Sometimes people have surprised you.

You turn your attention back to the play and enjoy the night. Twists turn and hapless caricatures fall in and out of love, and you lose yourself a little while in a world that is nothing simple and complicated. Laura leans her head against her shoulder, watching in focused, barely-blinking silence, and Layla’s heels tap gently at your legs as she swings them back and forward during the exciting bits, and you feel at ease.

Eventually, the play reaches its climax. The donkey’s head is removed and all begins to fade, and the setup for the dream of the title tumbles into place.

>Present Time: 18:15 PM

And you hear heavy footfalls behind you, and you see the girl a few seats along pointing frantically in your direction, and your heart falls. Other people are looking around now, a few of them getting up off their seats – Laura is one of them.

Down below, the performance grinds to a halt.

You turn around, and you see what must be nine or ten men wearing thick body armor and yellow MCA armbands advancing down the stone seating. One of them, his face obscured by the heavy visor slammed down across his helmet, points his taser in your direction.

You hate people.

You fucking hate people. Why do you ever trust any of them?

>(1/2)

>[X] “Screw you.”

This is total bullshit. You’re not even doing anything. You’ve done nothing.

Next to you, Noriko fumbles to her feet, Lucas managing to spring up a step faster. Even in the corner of your eye, you recognize the motion of Laura’s arms – she’s going for the 9mm stowed under her jacket. The lead officer, lips pursed into a predatory snarl, opens his mouth to bark something.

You can feel his anxiousness and his fear and his hate. You can see it moving through him, in the way he stands, in the way he holds his weapon aloft, brandishing it like a talisman. He doesn’t want to be here. He doesn’t want to be looking at you. He wants to be at home.

And that is inexcusable.

“Screw you.”

Your eyes blaze like stars, and a stream of bright blue light lances out into the sky, slamming straight into his chest. It lifts him high into the air, pushing something halfway between a scream and grunt from his throat. Everything erupts. People shriek and shout in horror, or shock, or raw fright, darting out of their seats. The others react before he even hits the grass.

“Holy shi”–

“Bruce!”–

“Get him, get hi”–

So...does anyone else think that the MRD has disproportionate response levels to shit?

>“Bruce!”–

>(2/2)

You push off, twisting through the air. Layla barely has time to shriek before you hit the ground, landing next to one of the armored officers, wrenching his gun arm aside. You feel bone splinter under the force of your grip. Taser-bolts hiss through the air, clattering off the stone seat that you occupied a second ago. You feel your anger soar, and the main in your grasp screams as you slam him into one of his friends, sending them both tumbling across the grass.

The remaining seven turn their weapons on you. You snarl, your teeth lengthening, horns peeking through your flesh. Layla buries her head in your chest and holds on tight.

“Hey! Kusottare!”

A burst of lightning explodes into being between you and them, one blinding tendril lashing out across the nearest officer. He goes down instantly, the smell of cooked meat filling the air. His companions stumble back.

“T-there’s two of ‘em!”

“Shit, shi”–

Consider what some mutants can do (also, while I'm including some useless mutations, I'm mostly going with pre-Morrison status quo in regards to mutation - i.e. 90% of mutations have SOME kind of use).

This was a low level of response. If she'd reported that you were, like, moving stuff with your mind, they'd have brought powered armour.

not buying the damn glasses like I told you guys last thread

Well, the good news is we're going to be famous.

The bad news is now lizards are going to be hunted to extinction.

mass invisibility plz

To do list

1. escape from MCA
2. buy new sunglasses, heck, get an auxiliary pair or two
3. acquire booze to cheer up
4. drunkily ramble about how much humanity sucks

>>38874919

>[ ] Seriously beat these fuckers up.

try something simpler

>>38875074
5. Stalk and harass girl who called Mutant Control on us

>>38875128
do the entire plan at once while simultaneously playing piano

>>38875128
It'll be ruined on the getting drunk part, we roll a nat 1 to get drunk, end up robbing a liquor store for its entire stock and drink through it, not even buzzed.

This is why it sucks to be a mutant that doesn't look exactly like a normal human.

Why the fuck didn't we just bug out in the first place instead of attacking the MCA?

>>38875207
JJ be angry at being hunted all the damn time.

>>38875142

>>38875239
Dude we could kill all these men and eat their flesh.

>>38875142
We must follow her around while invisible and ruin her life, orchestrate all sorts of shitty events for her, so 20 or so years from now, middle aged JJ can claim "IT WAS ME, BARRIETTA"

>>38875457
A dialog choice before doing something.
Not "And then there was lazors"

>>38875457
I'm pretty sure they assumed it meant using our words to say screw you.

I'm gonna presume we're not going to leave without Noriko

>>38875457
Exactly that, telling them to screw themselves. Not blast them or break arms.

>[X] Dodge, look for an opportunity to escape.

You leap aside as a pair of bolts head your way. They zip by you, sparking fitfully against the frosted earth. You’re so ready to beat these people up. Seriously, you could not be more ready to commit homicide, or at least manslaughter, than you are now. You trusted people and people let you down – again!

Noriko releases burst after burst of lightning. It flows through the air in complex, blinding arcs, almost like a net, keeping the MCA boys from advancing any closer to her, and obfuscating her exact location. They concentrate their fire on you instead, and you weave to and fro between sprays of electrified metal.

Layla half screams, half chants against your coat, clinging to you in abject panic.

“Can we go now can we go now can we go now”–

You will. As soon as you get a moment to catch your breath, you’ll leave these guys in the dust. You just need something to draw their attention away.

That something appears in the form you’d least expect. Or, a form you wouldn’t expect. Ever.

“Thou art a crow!”

Springing from the stage – that’d be, what, twenty feet? More, when you factor in the elevation? – Oberon himself vaults into the midst of the fray. For a moment, you almost forget to move – you’re utterly dumbstruck. His gown flowing behind him, he laughs as he swings his sword (where the fuck did that come from!? He didn’t have that before!) at the MCA boys, one of them going down as the blade arcs across his midsection. There’s no blood, just a surge of golden light where the weapon bites through his flesh, and you don’t smell the characteristic scents of exposed meat.

“Have at thee, knaves!”

He grins mischievously as he lays into them.

I just caught up with this quest, and would like to say " crusty you are the best"

>>38875585
"DOOM SAYS TO NOT EXPECT OPTIC BLASTS IS FOOLISH!"

>(2/2)

I takes you a moment to realize that this is your perfect opportunity.

“Guys!” Noriko and Lucas are staring. You think Oberon might have fried their brains. “Come on! Time to go!”

Making good on the carnage, you run for the hills (literally, the park has some pretty steep slopes). Once you’re a good distance away, you manage to bring everyone into your invisibility field (first time you’ve done that with so many people. You’re kinda surprised at how easy it is), and you slow down a bit, fleeing the park at a leisurely job. You don’t drop the cloak until you’re way out of dodge, moving through the mesh of alleys that run around the main streets of Queens.

You got saved by Oberon, king of the fairies.

God, NY can be weird.

“Christ!” Exclaims Lucas, balling his fists. “What assholes. Are the people here all complete shitheads?”

What did you think was going to happen? Everyone was tense as fuck and preparing to unload on them, so even if JJ said that and then went on to do jack shit, everyone else would have still taken that as the go ahead to fuck them up, as they did.

Aunt May and that one Cop are good flatscans, now list the bad ones, starting with Aaron Aaronson.

I am uncertain Oberron can be called a flatscan what with the magic sword. I mean maybe he's a magic flatscan but that seems to cancel out most of his flatscanness.

>[X] You dunno man life is nuanced an’ shit.

Your first instinct is to say ‘yes’. God yes. God, yes, people really are all shit, except for the small number you choose to associate with. Everyone else is total steaming waste and, you know what, it doesn’t even matter that you’re homeless and you don’t have central heating or a job or a proper life, because you didn’t even want to be a part of their society anyway, because they’re dumb.

And they stink.

“Well…” You can’t help but sigh a little. It’s funny, how easily you fool yourself like this. “…I dunno, I mean, sure, someone tried to get us thrown in the camps, but someone tried to help too.”

It’s almost like people are complicated and nothing is black and white and the world is difficult to summarize, or something.

“Yeah…” Lucas grumbles. You can feel anger radiating off him – a familiar anger, a rage at how unfair things are. “…I guess so. No way was that guy a flatscan, though.”

“Definitely not.” Adds Noriko, smiling tentatively, as if trying to lighten everyone’s spirits a bit. “I mean, did you see his pecs? Marvelous.”

“…I missed that.” Mumbles Layla.

You guys amble your way back to the Scar, joking and laughing nervously, still topped up with adrenaline. Eventually, you hit the edge of the ruins, and Noriko asks you for the time.
