If we are going to go see some Red Cross folks, we probably should wrap our stum in some bandages. Get some sympathy points if they can't tell its healing and the less people know about our regen outside the Scar the better.

They are likely associated with mutants, so probably yes. They gonna tell their boss we lost an arm, then someone gonna see with a regrown arm, then the boss is gonna sell/use that information.

You guess you should go speak with Rao and her doctor friends. You can’t think of any way the explosion that shook the Scar earlier won’t be attracting attention, but you’d rather nobody got the wrong impression of what happened there. First, though, Noriko.

Grunting slightly, you pull yourself up, your joints complaining a little at the effort.

You make your way down into the station, spotting Noriko beside one of the tracks, with Layla and her friend. Hope or whatever. Tents cluster around the battered pillars that extend along the length of the platform. Quickly, you strobe your vision through the thermal spectrum, and count the hits. You think there’s around thirty people down here, counting the ones hunkered down in the disused train idling to one side of the platform.

Noriko spots you as you approach, shifting aside slightly to make room for you on the edge. You nod in Hope’s direction.

“She staying down here now?”

The girl looks at you with wide, timid eyes, her gaze lingering on the stump just beyond your elbow.

“Yep.” Says Layla, seeming much less perturbed by the whole thing. You guess she figures you’ll heal.

“Cool.” You turn to Noriko. “You wanted to talk?”

“Yeah…” She trails off awkwardly, glancing behind you, at the rest of the station. “Uh, a few guys approached us while you were out. Said they wanted to be part of our gang or whatever.”

You frown. You don’t remember calling it a gang.

>>43088334
Healing factor is pretty much the most common power around.
Just about every single street level villain and hero has it, mutant or no.

If a mutant has any form of animalistic features, chances are he's packing some level of healing factor.

The fact that we haven't regenerated our hand back yet is a sign that our healing factor is not on high enough level to really be considered significant.

>>43088484
>>[ ] Tell them there’s no gang.

>>43088334
This is not going to happen. Low level healing factor is a fairly common power.

It's high level healing factor like Wolverine and Laura that's rare. Our healing isn't even close to them. So we don't have anything to worry about.

You click your tongue, just a little bit annoyed.

“None of us are in a gang?”

Noriko cocks her head to done side, a thin, dry smile opening across her face. “What are we, then?”

You’re not really sure. A community, maybe. A community that looks after its own and beats up anyone who…

“…Point taken.” You say, after a brief silence. Her smile deepens. “Could I talk to them? I’d like to meet these people.”

“You’re the boss.” Says Noriko, narrowing her eyes at you, as though she knows how uncomfortable those words make you. “That’s what everyone thinks, anyway.”

Yeah…

Noriko heads off to fetch them. Soon enough, you’re sitting around the fire with the wannabe Molocks (weren’t Morlocks, like, cannibals? You can’t help but feel that there’s a vague edge to the name the Scar has chosen for you), Noriko having decided that you can eat and get to know one another at the same time. Laura made a point of sitting beside you, watching the trio with careful, studious eyes.

>(2/2)

None of them are exactly what you expected. But that shouldn’t surprise you, considering the absolute weirdness you’ve seen around the Scar lately.

The one sitting closest to you is a guy. He’s tall and lanky, with light, airy brown hair, giving you the impression of a pencil-boy who is just about on the verge of growing into his own height. He doesn’t look bony, though, despite his wiry build – though that might be the ridiculous, baggy sack of a sweater he’s wearing. You wouldn’t exactly call him attractive, but he has this guarded, sturdy sort of face that probably puts people at ease. When he’s broken fully out of his teenage gawk he’ll probably have an action star jaw.

Next to him – and quite close to him – is a tiny, thin girl with ashen grey skin and impish features. She can’t be any taller than 4’10”, though her age is hard to get a real read on, mostly because she looks like something out of a fantasy novel. Her eyes are long, unblinking tunnels of pitch, her pupils rendered down to a pair of tiny, faraway pinpricks at their centers. Her hair is short and frayed and her fingers end in sharp, pointed claws. Everything about her is strangely wispy and light, as though she’s not quite there.

There is a long, uncomfortable silence.

“So,” You begin, making extra sure to keep your voice level. The girl has this weird stare, and it’s making you kinda uncomfortable. “Why’dyou guys want to join…” You search for the right word, finding nothing. Eventually you settle on a rather lame “…us.”

They look at each other.

Actually, scratch that. The guy looks down at the girl, with the kind of expression his face that he expected to see her doing the same. She’s too busy staring at you (or not you? It’s kind of hard to tell). You can’t help but get the impression that she’s not quite all there.

He looks a little disappointed – maybe even a little hurt – but tries not to show it.

“Um…” His voice is deeper than you expected. “…I guess we heard it was safe here? That’s… that’s pretty much it, I guess.”

The girl makes a strange, sudden sound, sort of like a ‘hah’, but filtered through tiny lungs.

“My brother wants to help with things.” She says, though you have to spend a moment deciphering it. Her voice is quiet, but sharp, and strangely lyrical. There’s a sort on chirping tone to it, too. Kind reminds you of the sounds mandibles make. “He likes to help.”

>(2/2)

Her brother (apparently) blushes very slightly, and looks down at her, but her attention is elsewhere entirely. Like she’s forgotten she even said anything.

“Alright.” You say. That sounds… okay, you guess? “What’re your powers? I only ask because… well… sometimes you have to know.”

The boy nods his head understandingly. The girl says nothing.

“I can… I can make things go, I guess.” He swallows slightly. “Like, I can touch stuff it and it moves away from me really fast. Really fast.”

That sounds incredibly dangerous.

“…And your sister?”

He looks down at her again, nudging her slightly. She barely responds, giving him a quick glance, before looking straight at you. You begin to feel everything grow darker, as though her presence is sapping all light from your surroundings. Colder, too. The effect disperses, reality returning to normal, and she returns to staring past you.

Less dangerous. But creepy.

“You’ve been in the Scar long?” The boy treats you to a quizzical stare, and you correct yourself. “The Exclusion Zone.”

You can’t help but notice that his sister’s eyes focused back on you when you said ‘Scar.’

He shakes his head.

“No… not really. Just a few weeks.”

Oh?

“You didn’t come in with the boat?” You ask, genuinely curious.

“I heard about it, but no…” He seems like he’s about to continue, but then doesn’t.

>We might want to ask Avengers to make some sort of homeless shelter for mutants.

What was that?

“Go on.” You say.

It’s a little rude, but you think you have the right to be, in this particular case.

The boy hesitates for a second, before picking up where he left off.

“…We heard about this place from some normal guys.” He pauses for a moment, his eyes darting between you and Noriko, as if he’s afraid he offended you. “I mean, people without powers. We were living in a park up until then…”

Normal guys? You have seen a few non-mutant hobos hanging around the Scar lately.

“Okay.” You say, glancing over at his sister. She’s staring intently at something on the other side of the station. As you watch, her tongue snakes its way out of her mouth, long and light blue, and swabs at one of her eyes. You turn your gaze back to the boy. “What’s your name?”

“Tyler.” He answers.

“Right…” Pulling yourself up, you gesture for him to follow. When you’re sure you’re out of earshot of the others, you continue: “Your kid sister. Is this a mutant thing, or something else?”

He squirms visibly.

“I… I think it’s a mutant thing.” He replies. “It started after she manifested. And, uh, she’s older than me.”

Uh.

“She’s not always like this.” He adds, hastily. “I mean”–

“She need anything? Drugs or whatever?”

“…I… I’m not su”–

“I’m fine.” Comes the young girl’s voice, her quiet syllables carrying surprisingly well. She’s not looking at either of you, but you notice her long, thin ears twitching at their tips. Not quite out of earshot, apparently. “I don’t need drugs.”

Right then.

“S-sorry, she can be”–

“It’s fine.” You interrupt. It’s fine. “One last thing. There anyone looking for you? Dealers, anyone like that?”

He goes silent.

Crusty, isn't JJ's persuasion modifier +3 now (according to the pastebin)?

Not that it matters for this roll, but I just wanted to be sure.

JJ is very good with his silver tongue.

Of course the creepy midget drow wants to join the not-gang of people who live underground.

>>43090383

So we'd be getting it specifically for Laura.

You can see the cogs in his head turning furiously. There’s something going on up there.

He leans a little closer, lowering his voice.

“You won’t tell anyone else?” He asks, not quite catching your eyes. He doesn’t look nervous or shy, exactly – more ashamed.

It’s that bad?

“Not if I don’t have to.”

He thinks about it a moment longer, before finally spilling.

“You know who Ronald Brennan is?” He says, lowering his voice even further.

“Of course.” You say in reply, frowning a little. Of course you know who Ronald Brennan is. “Government man. Runs Mutant Control.”

“Yeah…” Tyler shifts uncomfortably. “My name’s Tyler Brennan.”

It takes a moment for it to really sink in.

“Wait.” Stop. No… “No fucking… no fucking way. You’re fucking with me.”

He shakes his head slowly.

Fuck.

“…You’re his what? His nephew?”

“His son.”

Fuck.

Holy fucksticks on Mars.

“…Does…” You don’t know what to even think. Part of you is horrified, but another part? Another part of you is secretly, shamefully ecstatic. Fucking serves that guy right. “…Does he know?”

Tyler nods.

“He knows about Mildred.” He says, quietly, glancing awkwardly over his shoulder. “And he knows I helped her get away, I guess.”

When you’ve finished with your internal freakout, your thoughts turn to what to do with Tyler Brennan. All things considered, he’s a giant liability. His sister seems lightly moored to reality, and his power is probably one of the more dangerous ones you’ve come across – if he wasn’t being at all hyperbolic about it, that is. On top of that, the heat is on him.

But you like that he basically stuck is finger in Mutant Control’s eye – first for existing in the first place, then for getting away with it unscathed.

That kind of thing makes you a happy freak.

“Okay then. You’re Tyler B from now on, I guess.” You say, noticing his eyes widen. “Or just Tyler.”

“…You’re letting us stay?” He asks, incredulous.

“Yep.” You answer, heading back toward the fire. “Just keep it quiet about your dad, yeah? Can you get your sister to do that?”

“I think so…”

“Good.”

Well, this seems like it could go bad. But you can’t bring yourself to turf either of them out, so you'll just have to make it work.

As you approach the fire, Tyler stays a step behind you. He raises his voice as you sit down.

“So, uh… what do we have to do?”

Helping Noriko with the stew she’s preparing, you outline a few ground rules. No drugs, no messing with people, no attracting attention – stuff like that. Help out where people need helping, generally be an okay guy. There are a few particular things you feel the need to drill into these two’s heads, though.

1. If they have to go out, they go out in pairs. There are strange folk afoot in the Scar.

2. If they think something’s up, tell someone.

3. If they want to help patrolling the Scar, they can tell Noriko or Laura. Noriko gives you a wide, sort of surprised stare at that.

“…You don’t always go out with someone.” Notes Laura, a little critically. Her eyes linger on the stump below your elbow.

Without warning, you feel a flash of indignant, white-hot anger rush through you. How dare she? How dare she speak to a Priest of the Crown that way?

It passes quickly, though, leaving you feeling a little lost and sort of uneasy, kinda wondering what you were even thinking. Eager to move the subject on, you laugh, and ask the siblings if either of them have any practical know-how that could make your hobo lives easier.

“…Sorry.” Says Tyler, bowing his head slightly. “My dad wanted me to get into politics, so unless, I dunno, you need a speechwriter or something…”

“And you?” You ask Mildred, not particularly expecting a reply.

She surprises you by being relatively on-point.

“I was studying medicine.”

That’s pretty useful. Assuming she can stay lucid.

who is the dragon?

Who/what else is in this supposed court?

>>43091373

They're not describing just one person.

Typhon's army might be the dragon, or he is the dragon himself.

He also wants to be the only king, but JJ is quickly becoming a king himself.

I don't know what that priest thing is about, though.

“…Anything you’d need?” You say. “If you wanted to treat people, I mean.”

She takes a little while to answer. When she does, though, it’s at a rapid pace, her chirping tone listing off items with such speed that you have to ask her to slow down while you set up a little memo for this stuff on your phone. Tyler watches, seemingly happy to see his sister talking. When you think you’ve got everything noted down, you turn to him.

“Being political might not be so useless.” You say, coaxing a raised eyebrow from the younger boy. You bet this kid has heard literally every argument for and against mutants. Probably knows them inside and out. “Think you could brainstorm some stuff people should say when they’ve got flatscans asking them the usual questions?”

You guarantee it’s gonna happen. Soon, maybe.

He nods, looking a little surprised.

As opposed to several days at level 3.

>>43091561
lvl 4 would heal it in hours if I understood it right. There is no sun though, so charging is not available at this time.

>>43091561
We need to eat, so we don't hunger for blood, if we spend all charges. The boost they give is short timed.

>>43091612
we have 2 charges

>>43091612

We have two charges available, anon.

What happened to the science glove?

>>43091646
Still got it by all accounts.

It'd still speed up the process considerably. The sooner JJ has two fully functional arms again, the better.

in the locker-room at the end of the day "them muties are wierd, but they aren't that bad"
>small acts of peace might be useful for politics reasons.

I think we may enjoy some pretty nice benefits from that diplomat...

Most likely exploded when Electro seriously injured JJ.

That's why his arm is a blown stump

Well, with that out of the way, you guess you’re off to meet the humanitarians.

Before you leave, though, you fish around in your pants for your money. Tyler looks a little surprised to see the thickness of the roll you keep in your pocket. You’ve been thinking that you should spread it out a bit more, should anyone need anything while you’re gone. You give Noriko and Laura $300 each, before turning away, toward the exit.

>Present Time: 19:55 PM
>Current Funds: $780
>Hunger Level: 2

Laura stands to join you as you leave. You can’t help but get the impression that she’s proving a point, but you’re not going to argue.

The night outside is cold, but not cold enough that you need to bother with a new hoodie. You feel like you have this… engine… inside of you, thrumming away beside your heart, spreading waves of fiery warmth through your flesh. When you needed it, when you punched that Ladon asshole over the rooftops of the Scar and into the horizon, it had felt like a star exploding in your chest. Vast, terrible, growing. And then gone, at least for a little while.

There is no equal for that kind of feeling.

Laura picks her way through the rubble beside you, keeping her thoughts to herself.

If we have the time we really should talk out the weird intrusive thoughts and power inside us
