You are one James Case, someone who I mentioned has recently moved to Brockton Bay and is going to start school soon. Today is Saturday, the sun is shining, plenty to do.

>Go see mom and dad downstairs?
>Go somewhere? Where to specifically?
>Write-in

>>1219617
>>Go see mom and dad downstairs?

>>1219659

You throw on some clothes and head down to see your mom and dad. Dad's in the kitchen getting a bowl of pretzels and mom is in the living room watching TV. Two of them are nice people

Your dad is an average built guy, brown eyes, blonde hair, he's over all an average looking guy. You still can't figure out why your mom decided to go out with him to end up making you.

Your mom in contrast is an athletic lady, you got the brown hair and green eyes from her. She jokes that she could strangle a bear to death.

"Hey James." Your dad says waving with a meek smile on his face

>Write-in

"Hey Pops, I'm going to go for a quick jog; I'll see if I can run into any guys my age. Get headstart on the whole introduction thing, maybe say hello the neighbors."

>>1219723
"fuck off, dad" you proceed to storm out the door. You will never forgive your father for what he did to you as a child.

"Hey Pops, I'm going to go for a quick jog; I'll see if I can run into any guys my age. Get headstart on the whole introduction thing, maybe say hello the neighbors." You tell him with a nod

"Alright, keep safe now." He says

"Don't get lost! And don't go into the creepy guy's white van." Your mom adds in

"Alright, love you guys." You say before going out the door. The air's nippy and the wind blowing isn't helping out.

You notice a man in a tan coat and a fedora walking down the street, carrying a suspicious looking briefcase. It has what looks like a symbol on it: a bearded turtle with a DNA helix under it.

>Follow him, see where he goes.

Fuck it, not like he's going to be doing any harm. You just jog off and around the neighborhood, all the while thinking about Death Note.

You end up taking a bit of a break at the front of someone's house.

"Hey there!" Someone shouts out, looking where the sound came from. There's a nerdy looking middle-aged guy, glasses, white shirt, some brown pants.

"You one of the new neighbors?" He asks coming over to you

"I am." You say giving a hand for him to shake, "James Chase. Call me whatever you like." You tell him with a shrug

He shakes your hand, "Danny Haybert. Nice to meet you."

"So anything you can tell me about Brockton Bay?" You ask, Danny gives a nod.

"Sure. Anything in particular?"

>What do you want to ask about Brockton Bay?

>>1223569

Taylor Hebert- aka Skitter, main point of view character for Worm

"So any interesting stories about the neighborhood?"

"Nothing too interesting." He says shrugging, "But you and yours recently came here so that's something being talked about right now."

"Alrighty then. Next two, where's the best ice cream at? And how long have you lived around here."

"Go to the boardwalk for ice cream, and I've lived around here for a while. Me, my daughter Taylor and...." He pauses and his expression shifts to a more sullen one, sad.

"You ok?" You ask him

He sighs, "I'm alright...just thought about my wife for a moment."

The S9 did nothing wrong. Siberian just wanted some baby back ribs.

There is nothing wrong with that. Besides, being a cape seems to turn the majority of them into shitty people. Not bad characters, just awful people

Ok, wife is a touchy subject. Take a note from that.

"Oh. Well I'm just gonna walk away then." You say pulling your thumb back

"Alright, see you around." Danny says before you jog off

New person met: Danny
Relationship: New acquaintances, thinks you're a good kid so far.

It takes you sometime to get to the boardwalk, but you're there. And you're at the ice cream place that Danny mentioned.

You notice some more sporty and/or popular kids, a few of the outcasts, some nerdy looking kids, and that guy in the tan jacket again who's looking a bit finicky and sweating. What's his deal?

But anyways, who to sit with?

>You need to assert your dominance amongst the populars and sporty kids. If prison shows have taught you anything is that you need to find the biggest and strongest guy and fuck him up. And school is prison in all but name.

>The outcasts, if only to at least make sure that they decide you're okay and tell you not to go to school one day.

>The nerds. Be a cool guy to them, they'll be sure to help in some way. If school movies have taught you anything is that nerds can be a force should they choose to.

>Tan jacket guy. The fuck is with this guy? How did he get here so fast?

Nerd waifu when?

>>1223821
Actually, cut down my vote for dealing with the sporty highschoolers. Joining this clic seems more in line with Jame's personality and demeanor.. Lets not fight any of them for absolutely no reason. Even if James actually takes one of them down, we'll just alienate ourselves as some insecure violent kid. Also they have strength in numbers- considering we're an outsider, they will zerg him.

Well since you want to be an asshole, you're not asian so ABB is out.

There's always Coil, Empire and the S9 to join for fellow assholes.

Or be the solo asshole.

Or go the actual hero route and see how much of this shit world you can actually change. For better or worse.

We could seduce Alex away from the undersiders and go heartbreaker route.

Wouldn't hurt to talk with the more sporty and/or popular clics. You're one yourself, should fit like a glove.

You head over to the table where there's five of them, two guys and three girls:

One of the two guys has more of a runner's build compared to his friend who looks more in line to a football player. With señor runner having black hair and greyish eyes, a weasel-y looking fucker.

Bigger guy makes you question if his blood stream is just half steroids, a quarter testosterone and the rest just actual blood. A buzzcut of brown hair and blue eyes.

You'll call these two Littlefuck and Ogrefuck. Thematically appropriate after all

And you have to say to yourself. The girls don't look bad on the eyes.

One of them dark skinned, black hair, slender and athletic looking. Brown eyes

Second of the two is a pretty one with orange hair, a beauty mark under one of her eyes, slender.

In contrast the second of the three is petite. Shoulder-length brown hair with sky blue pins, blue eyes.

"You new around here?" Ogrefuck asks, does he always look pissed? Probably, probably not who knows?

You shrug, "Matter of fact, yes. Name's James." You tell him calmly

Ogrefuck stares at you for a moment before taking a deep breath, "Alright then. Take a seat." He says

You take your seat, and can feel their eyes on you.

"So, where you from?" Littlefuck asks, his voice having a bit of a rasp to it.

"Well I'm here now, I'll let you take a guess where I moved from." You tell him, "Say. Any of you guys know when I can join the swimming club at the earliest? I've been getting stiff lately."

"It happens from time to time in boys." The darker skinned girl says coyly, "But yeah they're looking for some guys for the swim team."

"Thanks." You tell her, even giving a little smile

"You got it."

"You know, I got to share my name but I didn't get to hear none of yours." You tell the five of them

"Alright, fairs fair. I'm Liam, big guy here is David." Littlefuck says gesturing to him and Ogrefuck. Well at least you can drop it now

"Sophia." The dark-skinned girl says, smiling. "The other two are Emma and Madison."

You feel a tap on your shoulder, "You have to come with me. Meet me further south downtown." A voice whispers, looking behind you. There doesn't seem to be anybody

And the tan jacket man is gone.

Huh

As you head along to the south of downtown, you're getting a bit suspicious that you're coming up along the more scummy side of town. Out of the corner of your eye you see someone, he ends up tackling you and presses you up against a wall in an alleyway

The tan jacket man.

He has constricted looking pupils in his brown eyes, sickly pale skin, sweaty, unkempt brown hair covered by a fedora, blueish lips and hands, he feels cold to the touch. Next to him on the ground is the suitcase.

"WHO THE FUCK SENT YOU HUH?! WHO?!" He shouts out in a panicked voice, "The Protectorate? The neo-nazi Empire? Those chink Azn fuckers? The wackos from Slaughterhouse?! THAT GIMP IN THE LATEX?!!"

"You. You need to get-" he starts to say, just before he get's his head sliced to little bloody bits by someone who's now shown up.

A big, hairy guy, long and greasy blonde hair. Only wearing jeans and a metal wolf mask, on one bicep is 'E88' tattooed, the other a wolf's head superimposed on a swastika.

There are metal blades coming out of his body.

Before running into someone.

The guy is huge. Muscular guy, dragon tattoos sprawling all across his body. Wearing jeans, an ornate mask that looks like some Japanese demon, and brown boots.

His eyes are brown, but instead of whites it's just bloodshot veins.

"You may want to give me that." He says in a deep and commanding voice.

The big tattooed guy who you assume wolfman is referring to as Lung growls in response. "Fuck. The Rules." He soon starts to growl metal scales over his skin, even claws growing too

And big wolfman 'hmph's and for him, he turns into a big wolf made of metal blades.

In a panic you open up the case. In it are different colored vials and a weird cube that's doing things that you're sure Escher would do if he was born today and decided to be an animator.

>Drink the red vial labeled "Ragnarok"

It's fight or flight, you can't take both of these guys on at once. But maybe whatever these things are will give you a chance.

You open up the vials labeled Azathoth, Transcendence, Ragnarok, and Fuck Manton. Drinking them all down before touching the cube.

And what a rush.

The cube shooting into your brain, and you begin to see something. Two gigantic worm-like beings circling one another in the void of space itself, before another like them appears and let's out an eerily soundless roar.

Coming back from that you feel so many sensations. Utter bliss and pain, burning heat and chilling cold, it's amazing. You've never felt so much before in your life.

The pain being like stubbing your toe into a wall, only the feeling is through out your entire body and a thousand times worse.

With the pleasure being akin to titfucking Aphrodite on a mountain of gold and flapjacks.

The sensations abruptly end, and you look to see a metal dragon and a metal wolf fighting one another, their claws and jaws snapping and slashing at one another.

There is something swelling inside. It feels like you are stronger, better than what you once were.

You look around and feel that there's a voice nagging at you.

"Come on...let loose...show that you have become more than man. And more than them. Their laws of power do not concern you..." It whispers

And boy can you feel it. It's like the molecules of the air, the ground, the buildings around you are calling out to you. For you to control them, destroy them, whatever you desire.

You will become Death. The destroyer of worlds.

This one threatened you, he demanded that you hand over that briefcase. Him and the dragon he is fighting.

You reach out into the air and you feel out something. Shaping it.

Touching the atoms of the air itself in order to fuse them together, slowly forming a tentacle of nuclear power around your hand.

It's hot. But it's not making you sweat at the slightest, like this is natural.

You look back to the two of them. You reach out with the tendril of atomic fire and have it wrap around the wolf's throat. The metal cracking apart and melting like butter by the second.

You have one thing to say to him, so that you can have him find out who's the more powerful one between you and him.

"Fall." You state. You then throw him into the dragon he called "Lung" like a white hot flaming baseball. The projectile hitting him, and the two of them being sent away from you that you can't see them once you blinked.

Well. There was that.

>SOMEWHERE OVER THE ATLANTIC

Scion, the first Cape to have graced the world. God among men, fighter of the Endbringers, a beacon of hope for those who believe that there is none in their situation.

He was given pause.

He felt something old. Familiar to him. Coming from the west. Something that has both sparked his curiosity and leading him to ask what it was.

But, he has his answer. Right at his lips.

"Brother." He speaks quietly. With only himself to hear these words

>>1226497

Ok. You just sent a metal dragon and wolf flying off to who knows where, you made a tentacle with nuclear fusion, and you have a voice in your head.

You also burned off some of your shirt sleeve...okay almost all of it is gone.

OH SHI-

>>1226516
>Return home, contemplate our powers with our parents.

Actually sit down and talk it out with them, if Scion is calling us brother, there's no point for dumb superhero names. Scion is turbo Jesus equivalent.

>>1226516
Remove our shirt, put it in the nearest unseen sewer or dumpster, and then locate a clothing store to acquire a new one. If they ask, say that we got into the collateral damage area of a cape fight and bolted as soon as we could, but our shirt got burned a good amount so we ditched to to avoid getting injured.

Then, we finish our run, go home, and switch shirts so that we don't seem quite as out of place.

(As a side note, when in the timeline are we?)

>>1226532
We could have a super name, but have it be a synonym of 'scion'. I, for one, would like it to be "Heir".

>>1226537

About a few days before Taylor hits her Trigger Event.

>>1226532

Well...until when Jack gave some career advice

>>1226544
Fair enough

>>1226560
In that case, we should try and find a place to practice, probably underground if we can. And as sad as it may be, we HAVE to let Taylor go through her trigger event, as shitty as it is.

Maybe we can be an additional member of the Undersiders, and a friend to Taylor?

>>1226582

Hey, anything is open. But anyways.

>Writing

Well your parents will probably end up freaking out by the fact your shirt is half toasted. Time to get a new one.

You take off your shirt and throw it in a dumpster behind you. You run off to find a clothing store.

First off, we don't know that Scion is calling us brother yet. Chaos literally said no one heard it and that Scion was over the Atlantic alone. Secondly, come on man, Heir is a pretty good cape name.

>>1226709
No I was asking that anon if he was one of those namefags from LBQ. Haven't heard "turbojesus" anywhere else.

>>1226715
That is the unofficial name for Scion, even in the original works. He is described as looking like Jesus, but shining and golden.

>>1226723
How is he anything like Jesus though? He doesn't talk, let alone preach. He only beats stuff up, he has no apostles he isn't the king of any kingdom.

>>1226723
Ah. Well, on the subject of names can we call ourselves Holocaust? Thought it would fit since we just went nuclear.

Godspeed

Alright, gotta get a new shirt.

You make a mad dash across the streets with people giving mixed messages. Some saying you're doing streaking wrong, a few asking you what's the rush, plenty of them.

But you find a place with some clothes on display, ok you have an explanation lined out. You head through the door with a bell chiming.

"Welcome to-" the man in front of you starts up before looking at you a bit suspiciously, "What the hell happened to you kid?"

"Got the hell away from a cape fight. Lost my shirt as collateral." You explain to him hastily, the man sighs and clutches the bridge of his nose muttering 'fucking Capes.'

"Alright. Tell ya what, you can have a shirt free of charge. But the jacket'll cost ya. Have a look around and find somethin'."

You nod

>What do you want for a shirt and jacket?

>>1226811
Common graphics t-shirt nothing fancy. Jacket with the radiation symbol and a hoodie.

>>1226811
Whatever the local sports team is.

Just a normal print cotton shirt and some hip jacket. Without a fucking radiation warning logo you god damned mong. If some new cape is running around setting of Geiger counters and some kid with a radiation logo is seen near the scenes it ain't gonna take long for Dragon to figure us out.

Meant for the posts to be in a different order. So, cotton shirt and hip jacket.

>Back to regularly scheduled writing

You pick out a plain white cotton shirt and a maroon Adidas windbreaker. Bringing them back to the guy at the counter.

"That'll beee....eight bucks." He says, you reach in your pants' pocket and hand him a wad of ones. Putting on the clothes and heading back outside.

You feel ready to go to a Russian wedding.

>What now?

Time to head back home.

You make your jog back to your house, surprisingly it's actually still plenty bright out. Guess gaining powers can mess with your time sense. And one of the cars is gone. Guess mom or dad is gone to find a job in town

But, time to see who'h home

You open up the door and see that your mom is there. "Welcome back." She chimes, getting up to come over and give you a hug that feels like it'll snap your spine. But you've gotten used to it.

"How was your run?" She asks, stopping the hug

"Oh yeah? Like who?"

A nazi metal wolfman? A giant asian guy who can turn into a literal dragon?

"Some kids from around here."

"Got it."

"Yep, also I think I might try out for the swim team."

She smiles and rubs your head, "Atta boy son. Well I'm gonna leave you be, love you Jimmy."

"Love you too mom." You tell her before heading back up to your room. Looks like your parents put up a TV in your room, pulled out your computer and the like.

Well, since you have superpowers now. Time to find out about the different Capes and villains of Brockton Bay.

Maybe check the vials you haven't drank yet.

"Is anyone there?" A voice says, it sounds very much like Harlan Ellison's. Looking around there doesn't seem to be anybody there.

"Relax. I'm all in your head." It says, "I'm surprised that you watch so many Chinese cartoons and play games from time to time and still keep up a body like this. Good on you."

"You're welcome."

"Ok so are you some kind of vouyer? Whatever it is, I'm NOT doing it."

The voice chuckles, "Nah I'm not one of them. Not an angel or a demon either kiddo."

"Riiiiighg, so can we skip the unnecessary questioning and can you tell me the relevant things about what's going on right now?"

"Fair enough: That cube you touched? I'm from that. I'll be playing a bit of er...smarter, superior explainer of what you've got."

"Oooookay then. So, how about a name? Or a face?"

"Don't have one you can pronounce pal. And one moment, just gotta mess around with your brain a bit." He states, a few seconds passes you see something.

A strange blueish-black thing, half worm and half jellyfish.

"There. That's better. So, you have more questions? I have more answers human."

>Lovecraft. called it. Phoneposting.

"Perfect, elder God shit. So what changed with my body, aside from the nuclear tentacle?"

>>1227288
Since you know my habits I assume that you have read my memories. That means you know that I am going to ask every question that comes to mind since a lack of information with your Otherworldly Patron can make things go tits up in most stories. I have a couple off the top of my head.

1. Since I can't pronounce your name, what do you want me to call you?
2. Can you hear my thoughts, and if so, am I currently talking out loud in such a way that others will see me as being crazy? (If it can hear our thoughts, switch to thinking and not speaking when having conversations with them.)
3. What is the highest dimension/plane of existence that you can traverse in, and what did you do to my brain so as to allow me to see you?
4. Do you have the ability to interact with the world and receive sensory input as to what is happening in the realm of existence in which I interact, or do you use my own sensory input as a means of obtaining information?
5. How has my body changed since I gained these powers and the ability to talk with you? and can I hide this from tests? I know that they look for this in sports now, and I literally just told my parents that I would go out for the swim team.
6. Do you have any idea of what my full powers are, and what the tentacle was made out of when my arm transformed into it?
7. Do you know of any way to identify who else may have abilities?
8. Finally, tell me more about yourself if you wouldn't mind. Hobbies, interests, relationships you may have had.

*As a side note, I love the fact that the characters in the Worm Universe have the wherewithal to ask these questions themselves, so that our asking things here isn't super meta-gaming bullshit.*

When you ask a bunch of stuff and expect to have one, maybe two of them answered and the QM just says that they'll answer them all.

You sigh to yourself, "So what'd I drink and what'd it do to me?"

"Think steroids, but with superpowers. Fuckers drawing it out of me like I was a goddamn....cow." The thing spits

"Well alright then. I have nine questions to ask, since you know my habits I assume that you have read my memories. That means you know that I am going to ask every question that comes to mind since a lack of information with your Otherworldly Patron can make things go tits up in most stories. I have a couple off the top of my head."

"I see. Well to be somewhat of a fair sport since you are not I."

"Right. First question: since I can't pronounce your name, what do you want me to call you?"

"Well, my brother picked a word from your language. I may as well pick one myself from one of many words your species has....Solomon."

"I see. Next question: Can you hear my thoughts, and if so, am I currently talking out loud in such a way that others will see me as being crazy?"

Why the name?

"After the son of David and king of Isreal mentioned in your Bible, Quran, the modern monotheistic deity religions. Gained wisdom, power, and wealth....all but one I have. And to answer your first question, you're technically comatose but people will think you're just standing around right now." The thing states

"Well, fair enough I guess. What is the highest dimension/plane of existence that you can traverse in, and what did you do to my brain so as to allow me to see you?"

"I can travel through this space. Through the sea of the void, what I did to allow me to see you is tinkering around with the bits and pieces of your brain that produces hallucinations."

"Hmmm, Do you have the ability to interact with the world and receive sensory input as to what is happening in the realm of existence in which I interact, or do you use my own sensory input as a means of obtaining information?"

"I'm currently piggy backing off of your sense. But I once had the former, many more sense than what you have."

"How has my body changed since I gained these powers and the ability to talk with you? and can I hide this from tests? I know that they look for this in sports now, and I literally just told my parents that I would go out for the swim team."

The thing seems to....'smile' in some way, "Where's the fun in telling that eh?"

Great.

"No sarcasm with me there. Next question now."

"Fine, Solomon. Do you have any idea of what my full powers are, and what the tentacle was made out of when my arm transformed into it?"

"I do in fact know. I'll tell if you want. As for the tentacle? It was made from atoms, nuclear fusion of the atoms in the air."

"I see. Do you know of any way to identify who else may have abilities?"

"Hmph. I can, like a pulse of finding people who have what these people have as abilities. But I can't give exact identities unfortunately."

"Damn. Finally, tell me more about yourself if you wouldn't mind. Hobbies, interests, relationships you may have had."

To make as many Nazi jokes as possible over the course of every quest I play. There's a reason we used gas a lot during LBQ.

>>1227591
Holocaust just carries such a negative tone and image with it, as well as the hate and history behind the word. Now of all times we should look at the value of what people say.

I like Heir, primarily because of the power and regal nature it implies. Though Warlock would be a pretty good one too, since we have an actual Otherworldly Patron.

We can come up with a name somewhere down the road. Right now I'm more interested in keeping it under wraps while we figure out how to maintain the "normal life" we need to live.

Probably with the same reaction we would. They understand that people have powers, but they still have fear and logic.

Also, here is the link to the original story: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

"A sister. So there's more than just two of you out there.
Who is your brother? Is it one of the Endbringers? I don't know of many...things, other than them. And will we ever meet your sister? Actually, what are your siblings like?"

"Yes. There are more of my kind out there, as for my sister? She's...dead. My brother is strong but not quite intelligent, my sister was the opposite. For me? I combine both yet I am not to the same extent as them. My sister named Eden, my brother is not one of these Endbringers: he's the one your people call Scion."

That's....surprising. Golden Jesus is brothers with the space worm/jellyfish.

"What are your intentions?"

"Merely to watch. Study. Learn. Find out what my brother is doing since my sister is dead and gone."

"Man...I think masturbating has just been ruined for me forever." You sadly lament, now what will you do with that five terabyte flashdrive of porn?

"Oh you can still do that without getting cancer there. I ain't paying attention to how you...ugh, you know what. James." Solomon says in a disgusted tone, well look at that: he used your name.

"Well anyways. Your brother's become the biggest ass of a cape to exist. Now is there any way we can hide some of this? I don't want to walk down the street giving anyone cancer or sprout fins and tendrils when we step in water."

"Fucking glory hound." Solomon spits, "Don't worry about the nuclear deal. So long as you're not actively trying to emit radiation or recreate what you humans have as 'Atomic bombs' you'll be fine. There are a few different powers we have for a set. Word of advice: be careful with them. Some powers aren't exactly 'safe' around regular humans." Solomon warns

Well noted.

Well, looking back at the clock you've certainly killed plenty of time. 5:55 PM, you could look up some stuff on the Cape scene and read on the effects of nuclear radiation and nuclear energy.

First things first. Capes. Maybe the PRT

You turn on your computer and head to the Parahumans Online site. And it looks like there's plenty of news, mostly regarding two things.

"New Parahuman?" and "PRT and Wards investigating site of a three-man parahuman fight."

Seems they found you already. Well what you ended up doing anyway.

It allll depends on perspective my dear. Which one you think is true? Which do you think is false?

>>1227989

And so you know why Zeka from Promethean might say being a horrible radioactive Frankenstein monster isn't so bad for them.

We should start a counterfeiting ring if we're going to be a villain. We can't just turn molecules into money since there are elaborate measures designed to stop us from doing that, but we can make the various hard to find ingredients from scratch and let forgers copy bills for us and let minions distribute it.

All that we have to do is protect the racket from interference.

>>1228013
Pass, money laundering gives me a headache.

I think the best use of our powers is beating the shit out of the worse capes and villains because they keep causing people enough of a damn problem. Remember the way the store clerk reacted when he found out we lost our shirt to a cape fight? That shit has to stop.

>>1228013
HELL, we wouldn't even NEED to manipulate mere cellulose fiber material greenery! We could target gold! Maybe we could acquire a bunch of stones and transmogrify them into gold molecules! We'll be disgustingly rich!

Rather than flood the market with the stuff, do it in small amounts
Also, learn how the economy works

Gold is typically marked by various metals exchanges, and if you flood the market with it you're screwing around with a lot of people's money. With currency there is much the same reaction, but it is less easy to trace back to you.

Tentacle flurries would be our deadly mid-long range attack of choice. Sole ranged attacks would be concentrated atomic pulses, aimed at a particular targer or widened for an area of effect blasts.

You begin to search up some of the various villains and capes there are. From the more local ones:

The Protectorate capes such as Armsmaster, Assault, Battery, Miss Militia

The Wards consisting of some like Aegis, Clockblocker, Vista, Gallant and Shadow Stalker.

The Triumvirate of Alexandria, Legend and Eidolon stationed in different spots around the country.

And then the villains that are mostly not from around here for ones you searched up. The Slaughterhouse 9, Heartbreaker, that Lung guy you fought against, and even the Endbringers.

Even with the help of some imageboards you managed to download pictures of what some of the capes look like. Only there's a problem.

You only ended up finding the powers of a few. Vista with the ability to distort space, you could guess Clockblocker's has something to do with time, Legend has lasers, Alexandria is a flying brick, Behemoth having dynakinesis, Leviathan Macohydro manipulation, but other than that there isn't much.

Guess it's a bit of an off day for you.

And looking up things regarding radiation. You find that it's safe in smaller doses, but it's safe for you to try and devise a way for you to control the radiation you intentionally or unintentionally emit.

What time and day is it? Could we just go about our usual business and then look for a place to practice? (Hopefully underground)

>>1228124
Yeah, mfw as well.

Saturday, 6:30 PM. Almost about time for dinner.

While mom is a great cook, your dad....it's quite bad.

So if we meet a re-generator, we can probably make them look like Deadpool via super cancer

>>1228142
Well, I guess we should take after our mom in that regard.

>Help with dinner

OOC, there is nothing I dislike more than people who can't cook.

Crawler wouldn't mind at all, Lung would be pissed. Not sure if any of the Endbringers would even notice

>>1228183
fuck endbringers though, and fuck eidolan for making them

Dad tries, but the food is usually too salty. Like as though you're biting through a chunk of it instead of meat or something.

Even things like cookies have at least a bit of a salty taste to it.

>>1228182
Good judge of character I'd say.

>>1228189
Our parents are obviously parahumans.

Rolled 1 (1d2)

Well anyways, guess it's helping mom/dad cook.

I now roll

1- Mom
2- Dad

May I introduce Amazon and Mitosis. One is fuck all strong while still looking good enough to not be a horrifying monster that make the Endbringers and Crawler look adorable in comparison, the other can control salt. What kind of salt? Any kind.

What luck! Mom's cooking!
