This sounds exciting.

>>1549956
>>Jewel Heist

May have offed a couple security guards. Entirely unintentional.

>>1549956
Mass murder. Why the fuck not.

>>1550072
Ehhh youre here too!

>>1550088
Yep. It's my chillout time. A little after 6:30 here. Time to catch up on quests.

We D.B. cooper now

>>1550096
But you don't attend Gunslinger? *cries*

>>1550084
Also, what kind of people did we off? mass murder is 4 or more people offed in a very short time. Buncha gang bangers? Juggalos, soccer moms, what?

>>1550104
Nuns. Young nuns on the way to.... An orphanage. That we just burned down.

Also we may have kicked a puppy.

>>1550099
Literally just got on, reading through the bloodbath now broski.

>>1550104
Four Superheroes. Don't see why it's such a big deal, honestly, you aren't a big-shot criminal, after all.

Probably went into a mall or something and just went at it.

>>1550115
Oh man, if Rogue goes for it that would be dope. Merking 4 supers.

>>1550115
Im on the cop-killer train (super-cop-killer?)

Rolled 8, 2 + 4 = 14 (2d10 + 4)

>>1550136
Also... 4 is such a small number. We need more dead nuns and superheroes. Time to roll

Tie breaker:
>Jewel Heist: Few dead guards
>Mass Murder: 4 low level heroes killed

>>1550142
Ok 8 dead supes and 2 dead nuns, with 4 puppies kicked on the way out.

Cali want to choose? Or OP rolling?

>>1550142
I'm all for offing caped crusaders, especially if there's money in it. Nuns though? Where's the challenge? Hunting a guy with x-ray vision, that's fun.

>>1550153
Murder.

>>1550163
We were fighting in a church or smth. Kinda was picturing a big collateral explosion.

>tfw playing a guy who kills heroes and just shrugs like it's no big deal

The most humble villain?

>>1550170
Using bombs to kill 4 baby heroes? A knife or garrotte would be way more fun.

>>1550226
Yeah. Much better imo. Not that I would know of course.

*Gets placed up to #987 in the 4chan watchlist*

>>1550223
So, a mild mannered supe killer? I'm okay with playing a hitter who's very humble and all that. Sounds different.

Mass murder, at least that's what the news called it. You spent weeks scouting out the Junior division of the Authority, some street level brawlers looking to make a difference in your city. You got in easy and left them a little reward for their efforts. The building went up in smoke and flame, only one of them with a special suit survived the initial blast, couldn't have been older than 18. Wavelength floated down on you as you finished the tougher of the 'Power Pals' with a knife through the chestplate, not being equiped to fight a Sonic Superhero you took the smart choice and let yourself be taken in.

You smile thinking about the event, why four super nobodies warrants an Authority response is beyond you but what's done is done. You look around the bus eyeing up your compatriots in conviction, one guy has skin that looks like rock, another has blades under his skin, and the one in front of you is a literal monster coming fully equiped with melting flesh and bone protrusions. These guys are the real deal, you just took out a couple street vig punks and you get here? You wonder how you'd stack up with your abilities some weirdos blade arms versus your...

Specialty in Demolitions.

Yeah. Not wanting that. All according to keikaku, we can build it villains are a dime-a-dozen.

>>1550433
Everyone has to start somewhere, we should still diversify. Sweet sweet power armor.

>>1550430
>not being intrinsically super-powered

That's asking for someone to hurt the squishy meat-body. But that looks like the way it's going.

>>1550430
Well if we got caught for killing an entire group of minor heros(comivs probably didn't sell well) i say we most likely don't see super heros in a bright light

>>1550440
Only weebs get actual superpowers.

>>1550446
?????

I. What? Explain further.

>>1550434
Naw. I'm thinking more along the lines of Iron Maniac, focus on a nearly indistructable suit that does all sorts of cool shit.

>>1550442
I know. Doesn't mean we can't make shit that can replicate their abilities. Makes it easier to kill em.

>>1550464
Robot suits that do shit? Yeah. Those are less common. Now let me go to /co/ and DOOM post for a few hours.

>>1550452
...I actually don't have an explanation. I just really like the concepts of Gadgets and Combat Training and the others are a bit overplayed.

>>1550475
Cool, all aboard the not-Doctor Doom train!

>talking about replicating powers with super-suit and gear

>not talking about making super-soldier serum in addition to making a super-suit

You should really step it up.

I just never liked the idea of having a suit do all the work. It always ends up being a "doesn't have suit" situation where they just kinda bullshit science up something to escape instead. All your eggs in one basket, yadda yadda.

You think about how his sword arms would handle a few good ounces of good plastic explosive, maybe an acid spraying gun to eat through the metal? Ha, or even reverse magnetic gloves to shove those stupid blades back into his arms. You didn't realize all this time you've been thinking you were also staring.

"Got a problem there, Pal?" Asks the owner of the sword arms

You finally look at his face, cut and scarred all over, his throat has a massive red line from shoulder to shoulder. His eyes burn into yours.

>>1550485
Not like we can't get better at fighting. Geniuses kinda cheat in comics. Prometheus in dc has a helmet that lets him download peoples fighting abilities.

>>1550485
I think the olympian body route ends up evolving into a superhuman physicality route. Otherwise it can't stay that competitive. I just don't want to be squishy.

>>1550496

>>1550492
I want to not go with demolition but instead go with chemist which would open up a lot of options for us

Might as well go full evil inventor mode and experiment on supers.

Also lets not fuck with him and keep quiet.

With enough super intellect we can do all of it. Bio bombs, clones, cyborgs...you name it.

>>1550533
Hah!

Why don't we focus on what's actually happening, instead of focusing on something that likely won't happen for 30 threads, if at all?

>>1550528
The computer part is also a bit of a weakness, I think Stark gets hacked once and that could get funky.

>>1550544
It's fun to speculate. And It's like, the third fucking post. We don't have enough to go on to make any decisions about our current course of action. Just relax.

>>1550544
Okay. We are being transferred to another prison, bad guys are in here with us. Nothing wrong with theorizing some mayhem. Guy's gotta pass the time somehow. Maybe something goes wrong, we get out? Where do we go?

>>1550556
What about thinking about the fact that we just got put into the gulak without our main source of powers? No assets or resources other than our mind.

>>1550571
>Implying we need anything else to be dangerous


KEK

>>1550571
We make assets. WITH our mind.

>>1550571
You mean a gulag? And our mind is our power. What they should have done is keep us in a medicated coma.

>>1550571
>yfw with a TV remote, three flathead screws, a half a piece of chewed gum and a single bee we create an acid that specifically melts concrete at extreme speeds.

Take a step back.

>>1550574
What, so you think Stark could win a fight with just a rock when put up against Nova? We need something to build/mix with. There's nothing threatening about a smart guy when he can't do anything with it.

Forgot your trip.

You stare him down a few moments before piping up.

"You ever get used to having those things under your arms? Must be really useful until someone brings around a magnet." You say with a small chuckle

He scowls and you see the bulges under his forearm skin struggle and shake.

"My whole damn seat is a magnet. I'm not popping out my beauties anytime soon." He says

>Sucks to suck, freak
>Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be free soon enough.
>I wouldn't exactly call them beauties in fact I find them...repulsing.
>I may have an idea for you to get out of there. (Intelligence check 1d100+5)

Do you want us to roll with the vote, or wait until you call for a roll after votes are tallied? I'll roll now just to get it out of the way in case it's with the vote.

As an aside, I'm all for selling this guy out if it comes down to it.

>>1550624
Help him get out. Until you can assemble something genius, it's best to have buds to fall back on. Better make a good impression.

>>1550673
>not wanting to get minions/meatshields

>>1550668
Set a fire. Heat fucks with magnets.

>>1550683
I just figure if we know how each others situation works, we can find a weak link. Tailoring each seat to each villain can bring design flaws.

>>1550692
>start a fire
>in the enclosed space of a vehicle
>with you sitting right next to it

That's a fine way to get smoke-inhalation or straight up burned.

>>1550708
Also it would be slightly difficult to start a fire with our hands and feet locked into place. But where there's a will there's a flame.

>>1550708
It's also a fine way to stop the bus, and spend the first few days of our prison experience in a medbay. That place where they keep electronics and chemicals and drugs.

>>1550717
If we steal from the medbay, do it as late as possible and give them less time to find out that we stole things.

>>1550717
This is also assuming the materials on the bus as a whole aren't fire resistant. Which considering where it's taking us and what the contents of the bus usually are it's a safe bet they don't burn easy in case there are dudes who do fire things.

Or they just have a fire-retardant foam system in place.

>thinking the medical ward of a supermax for supers is any more easily accessible to resources as any other part of the prison

We'd still be locked down, just in a bed instead of a cell.

>>1550717
I can pick up what you're putting down. Which is why I wanna figure who is limited how. If flesh melter, or rock guy aren't as bound...we just need to assemble the pieces, then knock em down.

"I'm sure you'll be free sooner than you think, in fact maybe here in less than 5 minutes if you listen to me." You say quietly

"What are you thinking, Mr?"

"Not important right now, these bracelets they have us in. Yours must not be metal if you're able to move your arms at all. Position your arms over your head pointing towards the back of your seat. You'll have to bend pretty low or try very hard to get your head beneath your forearms but the pull of the magnets will pull the blades out and into the seat disturbing the circuits of the electro-magnet letting you cut through the plastic toy on your wrists."

You say this slowly and clearly to make sure he doesn't put a blade through his own head. He nods and sits back. You see the veins begin to strain against his neck as he slowly lifts his arms over his head and gets into a position that reminds you of earthquake drills in grade school. The blades shoot out and you hear some crackling along with some shaking from him as the voltage travels through the blades into his body. A few heavy breaths later he slams the penetrated wrist shackle over his knee snapping it. He's free.

>Quick, try to cut me free!
>Pretend you're still locked up until we have a better chance to run.
>Guards! He's escaping!
>Other

Lets go for gold.

"No time to celebrate yet, Sharp. Keep your head down like you're still locked up." You whisper angrily

He stops his rise and settles back into the seat positioning himself to cover the holes in his seat. He does have a brain of his own, good to know. You start to look around the bus when you hear sword arms speak up.

"I like that, call me that."

"Pardon?"

"Sharp. I like that name."

You simply nod before turning your attention back to the bus, who do you focus on?

>Rockman
>Melty
>The Driver
>One of the guards
>Someone random on the bus

>>1550792
>>Melty
Since they're right in front of us, had to have heard the plan.

We need a good tanky henchman and a vicious, bloodthirsty enforcer. Once we upgrade their capabilities and make CLONES of them well be unstoppable

>>1550792
>Someone random on the bus

Let's do some window shoppin.

>>1550797
I like melty.

>>1550792
>>Melty
Save Rockman for last. His restraints are probably focused around him being strong. And made of stone. At least on the outside.

>>1550801
I think, unless Sharpe's blades are some sort of biolomechanical mutation, they are some kind of subdermal implant. So sadly no cloning. We could make em better and THEN clone him.

>>1550792
>Melty
Let's get Dave.

>>1550815
Maybe extremely sharp bone? Then accelerated shedding and growing, like sharks teeth so they can regrow.

>>Melty

We need the stealth-savvy ooze the bust our ass out of jail. Oh boy, here I go killing again.

>>1550827
If it is sharp bone we could try to gene-splice some limpet mollusc to make that shit strong as hell.

If it's just metal we could probably change its composition. Likely incredibly painful to go through, but hey.

"Hey, Goo-Ball." You whisper

"Ughhh" the thing groans back as you see two bloodshot eyeballs float to the back of its head and they float lazily looking at you

"I assume you heard my chat with our friend over there?"

A severed ear floats inbetween the eyeballs. A real comedian.

"I'm going to find a way to get you out of, whatever this is." You say as you examine the clear film that covers him, it appears to be some sort of material like a biosuit to keep him contained. The film has a port at the top, like a sort of vacuum suction point.

He groans again. This one feels likenit has a question mark on the end of it.

"Just give me a second to think." You whisper

>Sharp, get over here and pop our friend out.
>We can talk about this later I need time.
>Guard! This guy is leaking through his suit!
>Other (What's the plan to help Slimeball escape?)

>>1550853
Nice idea. Limpet outperforms spider silk in strength.

>>1550856
>Sharp, get over here and pop our friend out.
>Guard! This guy is leaking through his suit!
Why not both?

>>1550856
>See if he can apply specific pressure to the knob to try and force out the vacuum seal.

>>1550874
This. Vaccum pumps have all sorts of structure problems.

>>1550868
Popping sounds like a really bad idea, ever see a balloon pop? now imagine that's full of acid and we're right next to it. If melty can force up towards the pump, maybe that can fuck with it.

>>1550856
Get some friction going to create a temperature difference on the seat and then stick the port on top of the bag on that spot. Heat should create negative pressure for when he tries to pull away and it'll suck some of him out. Basically wiggle like a motherfucker and put your head on the seat. If that doesn't work he could always try to get the port on top stuck between the seat and the wall or anything nearby, like a bar or rail of some sort and pull in the hopes of ripping it. Has he tried slamming his head on the floor?

kek. They have him in a goddamn airtight freezer bag.

Spike should nick the suit while nobody looks. Just a wide enough slice to squeeze everything out. Tell him to keep it together while you free Megaman over here, then synchronized bust out when guards aren't looking.

>>1550890
Holy shit, we have some smart motherfuckers in here.

>>1550898
It's pressurized. Hence the vacuum. Bad idea.

>>1550906
Just an idea. My main point is that when they're all free they should make their move.

"Look, if you can create some heat on your seat and get that seal on your head up against it. The heat can draw out some of your uh...body. Can you do that, do you have any..parts to use to create friction?" You ask

You see a few fingers press against the bag and resist the urge to gag. You watch as his 'fingers' slide down and his suit shifts and crinkles so the vacuum tube is pointing towards you. You hear the sound of rubbing and eventually the vacuum seal dissappears. You wait anxiously and the vacuum seal returns to its position and you lie back thinking of what else you could do until you see it. A small trail of lightly corroded metal leadong to something the size of a toy car, a small lump of what appears to be melted flesh, it balls up and a small tentacle sort of limb emerges and..waves to you. Jesus christ what are these things.

"Hide out until I get our last friend out, maybe try to burn through my leg locks while you wait?" The meatwad forms a tiny thumbs up and falls off the seat in front of you and slaps onto the floor.

You turn and speak over your shoulder.

"Hey, Rock man. Can you talk?"

"Yes." The voice echoes from inside your own head

You take a moment to let some pain pass from the mental intrusion.

"What are your restraints like?"

"This shell you see. Is not my physical form. I have no form of my own, I am trapped within this one."

"How can I get you out?"

"You cannot, until this form is broken I am trapped by the magic embued in it's runes"

Magic? Voices in your head? This just got a lot more confusing that you could have thought.

>Meatball, can you burn through our friends stone?
>Sharp, Can you pry these stones loose?
>Sorry then Rocko, nothing I can do for you.
>Other

>>1551052
Do you know precisely how much force is required? Can the runes be disrupted somehow? The man with the blades in his arm may be able to help.

>>1551048
Sentient Cancer? now we're cooking with napalm.

>>1551052
Both. Have Meatwad burn a weak spot into the stone, when we make our escape have Sharpe pry open the stone shell. Hopefully it doesn't kill us all.

>CALIFORNIA! WE NEED GENIUS.

>>1551064
I'm just thinking, if this is an array of runes, perhaps targeting one with fuck the others. This is magic and so is possible-dormammu. Gotta do some info gathering. Also melty may not be able to stretch that far.

>>1551052
The rock itself isn't holding him, but the runes, then? Maybe have Melty divert a little of his free goop to slip over and disrupt a few of the runes on the rock to see if it weakens the binding on GhostyMcTrappedFace.

If that fails we could have Melty weaken one particular spot on him until it's mostly soft and have Sharp just stab the shit out of it when we initiate our sudden escape after it's not so tough rock.

But if it really, really fails we could pry the magnetic components out of Sharp's seat, start them back up again but reverse the polarity on one so they attract to each other and then have them slam into the rock-shell. But that would take way too long for just suddenly busting out.

>>1551052
how do you repair the form?

>>1551077
wait misread that. nevermind

>>1551077
Perhaps it requires a host body? He may have the ability to control a hosts mind. Maybe the driver?

>>1551068
This might be on to something. Can he interact with the magic at all?
Say, perhaps, move magic from some of the runes to a single rune and overload the system that way?

Or even sense/read which do what. How far is sharp from him. My mental image is he's behind magic mystery rock across from us.

Immediate right is sharp
Ahead is gooey
Behind is Magic Rockboy

>>1551091
Okey dokey.

>>1551086
Or at least focus on one point, allowing us to then smash it. For a somewhat crude explanation.

>>1551090
I think the rock is just regular rock you'd find anywhere. The runes I'd imagine are either carved, or drawn. If the rock is hollow, they may be on the inside WITH him. Otherwise, all you'd really have to do is knock it over or scratch the runes to disrupt them.
I say this on the idea that runes are traditionally fragile things that have to keep their specific structure in order to function.

>>1551108
If the runes are on the inside, we must simply find the correct spot to Crack the shell to get to the contents within. Like a eating crab.

>>1551125
By we finding the spot I mean not-dormammu.

You feel a slight burning on both legs and flinch only to find, your legs are free. Meatball has eaten through your leg restraints and dear god. The wad of flesh is the size of a small dog.

Again you almost gag. But you hold it back once more.

"Go work on any symbols you find on our friends rock suit back there will you?"

The meatwad rolls beneath your feet, the squelches are horrendous. After a few moments you hear some light sizzling and the voice in your mind.

"Thank you, friend. I do not know if this will free me but the effort is appreciated. I will conquer your mind last."

>What do you mean by that?
>Meatball, stop messing with the runes.
>Guards! This rock thing is threatening me!
>Other

>>1551142
Fascinating, I love a challenge. What do you mean by that?

>>1551142
>What do you mean by that?

>tfw he wants to come in here with us

Hah.

>>1551152
Got a sudden Nightmare on Elm Street Dream Warriors vibe.

>>1551142
Right. Because trapping yourself in ANOTHER form is a grand idea. Especially one that leaks fluids everywhere.

>>1551166
There's an idea. To prevent a possession, or discourage it. Kill switches inside our mind and body. Perhaps a series of poisons and antidotes needed to be taken at the correct times?

We're totally going to use his escape as a distraction to get away.

>>1551170
Or an iteration of a Faraday cage, but for the arcane.

Jesus, we are too much of an evil genius to just be a petty criminal from the streets.
Were we part of some kind of think tank but got fired for some reason?(our growing insanity perhaps)

>>1551191
Who said petty? We were just getting started. Bad luck, a bigger super came calling. We've also had about a year of super jail to do nothing but do 3 dimensional mental chess and all that.

>>1551206
>3 dimensional mental chess.
>Not 4 dimensional chess.
I'm disappointed in you.

>>1551191
MC doesn't seem particularly insane. Definitely lacking in morals, though. He's still crazy. His reaction to offing a group of small time heroes and getting locked up is "Meh. Not like I did anything all that big to deserve this.". Seems more like a sociopath than a psychopath.

"What do you mean by that?" You ask, more curious than frightened

"I am merely contained to this one form. I once maintained hundreds, my influence cannot be stopped. No mind is powerful enough to reject me. You and all others on this vessel will make fine drones." The monotone is gentle now, less pain.

"I do love a challenge. Perhaps it also isn't the best idea to take over bodies that are literally leaking onto the floor as we speak." You say

"Perhaps not, but your pet has already freed me. And it is too late."

You feel a blinding pain in your head and watch as a light purple mist floods from behind you and towards the front of the bus.

A guard notices and pulls his radio.

"ALERT TO AUTHORITY, BOX TRANSPORT HAS A BREACH. I REPEAT WE.." He is cut off as the mist invades his nose. His eyes turn a dull purple and he frees his gun before putting it in his own mouth and pulling the trigger.

"What the fuck is going on back there!" Yells the driver before he too is invaded by the miasma and he throws his hands to the side. Flipping the bus.

You watch as Meatball flies past your head splattering against a man with scales two rows ahead. He screams as he's consumed but it's drowned out by the exploding glass and crunching metal. Then darkness.

You wake up quickly, your head ringing and most people around you are dead or unconcious, your feet are free but your hands remain bound. Pushing up on crushed glass you feel blood running down your head and arms. You sit up and begin to look around when you notice the purple mist slowly spreading towards you.

>Hide!
>Run!
>"A challenge indeed. Let's get this over with."
>Other

>>1551222
>"A challenge indeed. Let's get this over with."

>>1551222
>>"A challenge indeed. Let's get this over with."

Let's pick up a piece of rock with a rune on it if we see an intact one just in case. A strong brain we may have, but it's never wrong to tip the odds in our favor. We do need to do this fast so we can get the fuck out of here with our minions.

>>1551222
>>"A challenge indeed. Let's get this over with."

It's gonna rue the day it tried making us one of it's meatsuits.

>>1551222
>"A challenge indeed. Let's get this over with."

>>1551238
We should also get ready to mentally note how the mind takeover feels and behaves, it's a unique opportunity.

>>1551241
Seconding. This certainly escalated quickly, how bracing!

I've got this mental picture of some dude dripping blood and covered in broken glass fixing his collar as some freaky purple mind-fart is floating towards him talking shit. Pretty neat.

>>1551260
Me too.
And he brings up a pen and notebook from nowhere so he can write science.

"This truly is exhilarating. I wanted a challenge, so how about we get on with it." You say with a smile. You taste blood.

"Gladly." You hear in your mind as the mist floods your body and everything goes white.

>>1551324
>"You should be able to solve this."

>Just thought that our mind might be like the milkman level in psychonauts.

You feel the stabbing pain in your head but through force of will put it aside.

"Your mind, it is powerful and expansive. It will make a fine prize."

"I don't think it will, you attack thet frontal lobe. The decision making center, I doubt you have the capacity to understand why I make the choices I do."

"All your choices are basetd in science and logic, it is simple to understand."

"Then why do I sense a struggle to override my mind."

"There is no struggle, any perceived failure is only a trick of the mind."

"How can a mind you control play tricks?"

Silence.

"I feel you moving now, the Amygdala. Emotional center of the brain, how curious."

"What is this trick?"

"No tricks, Miasma. Tell me what you've found, my friend. What emotion drives me, what emotions are deep in my psyche?"

"Nothing."

"Exactly. Now get the fuck out."

You allow the pain to take over. It feels as if hot iron is being pressed through your skull but the only screams you hear are from Miasma. A few minutes of white hot pain and your vision returns to you, you are staring at the bouncing ground. You lift your head and see the fleshy slop of Meatball rolling behind you. The movement triggers a stop.

Sharp lies you down.

"Are you okay? I saw you unconscious and figured you needed the help, plus I owed you one. The uh..meat pile tagged along. Seriously are you okay?"

>Minor inconvenience, won't bother us again.
>I hurt like hell but I'm fine.

"A small inconvenience, sentient migraine tried to hijack my brain and it didn't go well. How far are we from the site of the crash?"

Sharp takes a minute to think.
"Dunno. Hour or two?"

You sigh and stand up, things go wobbly for a second but you regain your balance.

Standing, you look at these two followers you've gathered.

A walking meat monster and a man with swords in his arms. Not quite the powerhouse team you'd choose but they served their purpose. Only question now: is if they serve any other.

support you would be suprised with how often that happens in quests

How are you guys enjoying the quest? I hope I can do a sociopathic genius justice in my writing.

>>1551438
You're doing good so far. Seems to have a good amount of potential going about from both you and the playerbase.

>>1551438
It's awesome

I do expect us to be challenged in the future be it "Heroes", legal forces,other villains or our own self conceited nature

I want to see us face off against our arch-nemesis (that one hero who we didnt manage to kill) and do generic world domination time schtuff. I picture a cross between Luthor and M.D. Doom.

>>1551438
this is actualy the best starts i have ever read in a villian quest i love to do more of this its enjoyable i

>>1551444
This also maybe some my hero academia if you like it

>>1551438
The problem with this is that you need to flesh out the motivations of the MC whilst still somehow making him seem relatable. Its much easier to show this in small bites between lines than in whole monologues, so that it falls on the reader to interpret the MC however they want.

>>1551419
>Keep Them
They may yet be of use!

>>1551494
I see MC as being a pretty standard sociopath who engages in his mass murdering because he simply enjoys it and anything other than that is nowhere near as gratifying

>>1551535
perhaps young MC was so intellectually superior that he had, in his head, derived most of the endless variations of his reality. At least the most probable ones. In his head, young MC has alerady lived his life of a lawyer, an engineer, etc.

A living "many-worlds interpreter" if you will.

Maybe he is trying to make himself a random, unforseen path, and just be surprised by it.

>he likes to be challenged
>he is fascinated by unforseen circumstances
>he likes the improbable, it is fresh to him

>we lord random nao

>>1551553
i like and support and what do you mean with "many-worlds interpreter"

Holy shit just readed the quest! This thing is awesome!! That partagainst mindgrane was epic. We just killed a etheral being with our mind! Shit man.

>>1551560
i was referring to the quantum theory of seeing reality as an endlessly branching "tree", every branch being a discrete event.

here's a lolopedia link for further reading:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation

>>1551568
is it like the person see there life like a telltale game? they just have these choices but he did make his own choice and stopt folowing the script?

>>1551553
A bit too Owlman for me I honestly prefer a more low key genius type but if this get serious support I'll go with it

>>1551592
yeah, the idea is possibly too over the top, our mc wouldnt be so abstractly intelligent, i guess.

willing to go along with a "doing it for fun /thrills / kicks" sociopath too, sound more earthly to me.

>>1551646

So what is the game plan for right now?

We need to find

>Clothing
>A Place to lie low
>Easy to get to several different areas

I would recommend sewers. One of us is an Eldritch Horror, and we can find an abandoned train station and hook up to the power grid to at least get cozy.

Afterwards, food and clothing are primary concerns. Robbing a supermarket is a bit too high profile, but robbing food trucks or going to soup kitchens is a good alternative.

Then, I dunno. Visit a local library or get in contact with local mob bosses to get some contracts out or start grabbing territory, or playing one against the other and getting pieces to ourselves.

>>1551646
I honestly think it should Rogues call as he's the one running this weather he wants us to be a relative low power villain or a full blown Dr DOOM/Luther type is really a matter of his ruling

That aside Our owlman shennanigans in a hurry go powered setting could have lead to a psychotic break because of the mental strain of the math as opposed to my own low power sociopath idea


Also Rogue get a trip for secruity purposes

>>1551687
Sounds like a good plan of attack considering our current needs, as far as clothes are concerned I'd suggest a suit if for nothing more than appearances sake and a look of control in future dealings.

Sewers will also likely give slime a good camouflage unless I'm mistaken

>>1551687
Sewers are actually not the vast underground you think it out to be. Most of the time there only specific exits to the sewers, and 90% of them are locked entrances to latrine plants. Also smell. Also electricity.

I suggest we go to the subway tunnels. Basically the sewers but with a much MUCH greater access to everything (closer to power and shops as well as being steathly enough to go under the radar. I mean honestly the sewers will be the first cliche they check.) and also doubles as a quick fare-free getaway.


Up to you anyway OP

I'm going to be leaving these major choices up to you, as well as just how genius our unnamed MC is. I like to run quests by being the guy to take your concepts and run with them, it is most definitely you guys and not me in control of the story and your own limitations. (Unless you want to do something retarded like "reprogram this remote control into a bomb" without the proper equipment.)

My only reluctance about using a tripcode is that I have dynamic and constantly changing IP and would hate to be locked out of my own quest with nobody knowing I was me.

>>1551688
ooh, psychotic break, sounds tasty!
>i am emo, hear me weep

however low power genius engineering student dropout level conforms better to the grittiness i'm envisuoning for this quest.

>>1551702
subway, fuck yeah, a lot of disused technical spaces/vent shafts/machine rooms for raw materials and shelter

>>1551687
supporting general battle plan, we also need some access to tools and tech supplies.

>>1551708
Uh, do you know how trip codes work?

>>1551553
fuck my mobile network with floating ip's, this is still me.

>>1551712
also, correction, envisioning

>>1551708
the trip basically ensures you're not locked out, its kind of why the exist

>>1551712
as a person who almost had one thats really not how they work.

but yeah im favorable more of a low powered sociopath myself mostly because Owlman already did the countless theoretical outcomes nonsense

>>1551714
Not going to lie. No I don't. Never used one before, figured it was a sort of protection that linked a name to an IP. After reading I'm guessing its more of a Name then password after the # that gives me a specific code to identify me. Correct?

I do need help knowing what to put in what field however, I'd appreciate anyones help if they're willing :]

>>1551717
We're eventually slated for Luthor level intellect. So possible Owlman shenanigans. Low level is totally fine, for now. But eventually our crazy ass is gonna get bored.

>>1551717
re the episodes, i'm flying blind, i wouldn't know, but many major villains have them, so that's sorta what i was meaning by "tasty".

>why so normie? dunno.

So low power sociopath it is then. Seems more appropriate.

>>1551721
yes the #passwordhere gives you a unique ''trip'' as long you input the #password correctly

>>1551729
I mean I guess Im not opposed to ascending utlimately

>>1551732
Justice league: Crisis of two earths though now that I've looked at it I may actually be wrong on that, I know its been done somewhere before I just can't remember

Alright, Tripp is set.

Can I get a quick head count, if enough of you are here and willing we can start back up within the hour.

>>1551755
>>1551738
>>1551721
You might want to use ##passwordhere instead, it's more secure than #passwordhere.

>>1551755
I'm here, I like the quests premise, its a shame that I missed the chance to convince miasma to help us with our plans, not sure he would have but eh

>>1551759
Probably not at first, not unless he saw us as a worthy ally.

>>1551759
Fuck miasma, bad henchman material.
Arrogance and power are a bad mix in a minion.

>>1551759
The guy litreally tried to take us over first chance he got and can litreally turn any numerical advantage against us, hell Im actually with the heroes on this one and we should bottle him up first chance we get

I actualy have an idea of where I think we should take the character, as a persona. sociao path who keeps his word, think a super villain banker. you want men come to me, you want a deal overseen come to me. we take 10% of the earnings and then we are set.

>>1551762
I was thinking ally until we could get a hold over him
>>1551763
true enough but see my above answer, also we resisted him. still a silly idea with no safe guards, but we resisted him

>>1551764
yes and only us until a safeguard can be developed, he could litreally kill us with pure numbers if he wished so

>>1551764
>I actualy have an idea of where I think we should take the character, as a persona. sociao path who keeps his word, think a super villain banker.
It doesn't sound like a persona from the looks of it. If you're talking about how he gets in the supervillain business, then yes he could be a criminal broker.

>>>1551762
>I was thinking ally until we could get a hold over him
>>>1551763
>true enough but see my above answer, also we resisted him. still a silly idea with no safe guards, but we resisted him
3rd rule of being an evil supervillain, don't have superpowerful evil allies or minions you can't put down.

Here as well. Hopefully my fellow mad scientists with high aspirations are around.

>>1551771
I'm sorry I used persona incorrectly, I ment persona to only refer to keeping our word. the rest was an example, sorry for any mix ups

but is there any written text your taking the "super villain rules" from or are you using it as another way to say common sense?

it just occured to me that we are the literal voices in a deranged genius's head.

>>1551771
that's a way to go about it, though i see us as less of a big mobster boss type and more of an...unclearly motivated loner seeing the minions as tools for his own purpose.

>>1551771
We like a bit of mayhem and murder though. We're not always very subtle. Think of it this way, when Miasma attacked us he found no emotional drive for what we do. We do this because we can and get a kick out of it. Ever watched the show Hannibal? I feel like we were probably a bit like him. Taking efforts to be seen as normal, until we just decided to cut loose. Maybe we were tired of holding back, when you constantly look at people and things and see how they can be torn down and destroyed probably gets real boring.

>>1551776
you would have it any other way? if so whos who? the deranged one, the clinical one?

also that is the definition of sociopath

After we get settled in the abandoned subway tunnels, we should take stock of what our guys can do and can't do. And then lay out the general plan of attack that we should take.

>>1551782
As pesky and temporary as it is, we need funds. I'm guessing Sharp has contacts. Maybe some gangs? I can't wait to have some minions, small unit guerrilla tactics are excellent fun.

(I've doubled the # for my tripp)

"You've done good, Sharp. Meatball I appreciate the loyalty from you as well." You say kindly

A few teeth float to the surface in the style of a smile.

"Jesus fucking christ." Sharp says looking concerned

"You get used to it." You say shrugging

You look around where you are, a long deserted road. Nothing but cornfields and cow shit, you see a few dark figures going off into the air in the direction of the bus and you also spot a city further down the road.

"What's the plan then, boss?" You hear Sharp ask.

A small grin spreads when you hear 'boss'

>We walk to the city, any idea of the name?
>We wait for a car to pass amd get ourselves a ride.
>We head back to the bus and look for survivors
>Other

>>1551782
I disagree, find what they can and cant do then make them do what they cant do until they can. if it is physicaly possible of course. like sharp cant cut up and down in rappid succession, observe his style then imporove it

>>1551781
I think we all have a little bit of everything, just some have more than others. I may not be as technical, but I have a ridiculous imagination, never hurts to think big.

>>1551785
walk to the city, stay in the fields so we can get into some form of hideing place quickly

>>1551775
>but is there any written text your taking the "super villain rules" from or are you using it as another way to say common sense?
There is an extensive written list of villain's rules on how to not be a dunce in Hollywood universes. The ones I'm referring to are common sense.

>>1551776
>>1551779
Sounds good. We can do both, depending on what the Gadgeteer's mood is at the time. The mob boss mentality is when he’s feeling like an office drone, the Hannibal-like loner is when he’s feeling like cutting loose.

>>1551782
>>1551784
Sounds like a plan. We should check the corpses first, if there are any around us to see if we can get any gear before ditching the place.

>>1551785
take to the cornfields, they have fliers in the air likely looking for us

''hitchhike'' at ''knifepoint'' when we can

also do we have a name? I just cant remember seeing one. and if so I suggest an anagram to give to contacts

>>1551790
So a bit of a renaissance man. Cool beans. I'm okay with ditching the prison bus and heading for the city. We should probably steal a car, since Melt is fairly conspicuous. Unless he/she/it can take a more compact and portable form?

>>1551794
We have walking talking knives. So that's handled. With his throat scar I see him as The Kurgen from Highlander. Just fits.

>>1551764
This banker idea reminds me of Outer heaven mother company.
