At this point, you've been passing out and waking up so many times that you've lost track of what day it is. That's not the first thing you're thinking of when your eyes open this time, though.

What immediately occupies your thoughts is the strange creature hovering over your face.

You're not sure what exactly it is, but it resembles a giant larva of some kind. It doesn't look like any kind of insect you've seen before, but you don't think you were ever an expert on bugs to begin with.

It smiles at you, you think. Can bugs smile? It's got the teeth for it, sharp, pointed teeth that look like they could do some serious damage if this thing happens to decide you look tasty.

>A. "GUYS! HELP! GIANT WORM!"

>B. "Hey there little guy."

>C. Psychic punch it off of you

>D. Throw it off of you and run for the door

>E. Remain completely still. Maybe it won't be able to see you if you don't move.

>>2163084
You think you saw a movie like this once. If you stay completely still, maybe it won't be able to see you. Gulping, you close your eyes and do your best to remain motionless. You can still feel it sitting on you, which honestly freaks you out a little more when you're unable to see it.

You feel something slimy rub against your cheek, and open your eyes to see the bug-creature's tongue return to its mouth. You're unable to prevent yourself from recoiling, but it's pretty clear that the whole "holding still" strategy won't work anyway.

The creature makes a noise almost like a laugh, then wriggles off of you, moving to the edge of your bed before curling up and closing its eyes, snoring loudly.

Well, you're pretty sure it's not going to try and hurt you.

>A. Pick it up and put it in the hallway

>B. Leave it be until you have a chance to ask the others about it

>C. Open your door and call for someone to come take a look at this

You gingerly pick the sleeping creature up and place it on your pillow. It makes some sort of sound you take to mean that it's pleased by this.

Strangely enough, this larva thing seems kind of cute to you. You wonder if it's hungry, and decide that your first stop once you're cleaned and dressed will be the kitchen, where you can find something for it to eat.

You at least remember where that room is, and make it there without any difficulty or confusion. As you step into the common room, you find it mostly empty. The only one there is Beast Boy playing Mega Monkeys 5 on the big screen.

He pauses the game and looks over his shoulder as you come into the room. "Morning, dude. We've got cereal, tofu, fruit juice, and eggs and bacon if you're into that kind of stuff."

>A. "Thanks" (make some breakfast)

>B. "Do you know what that larva thing is?" (find something for it to eat)

"Do you know what that larva thing is?" you ask him as you begin to search the kitchen for something to eat.

"Oh, right. Guess we forgot to tell you about Silkie. "He's sort of like the team mascot. Long story, but he's harmless."

You search through the kitchen for something to feed the creature, until Beast Boy figures out what you're doing.

"There's a jar of stuff for him under the counter," he tells you before going back to playing his video game.

You find what he's talking about; a large, purple jar with some sort of weird green patterns on it. Opening it up reveals some sort of odd paste with a pungent smell. Not something you would eat, but you don't have much trouble believing that Silkie might like it.

"You can give him like a bowlful," Beast Boy tells you. "Just don't overdo it, little guy would eat the whole tower if we let him."

A minute later, you've got a bowl of the smelly paste ready for Silkie.

Silkie's breakfast is ready to go, but your stomach's growling for food as well. With Silkie napping, you should have enough time to fix up some breakfast.

As you rummage through the fridge, you look toward Beast Boy, who seems really in to his game.

"So, where's everybody else?" you ask.

"Cyborg's working on his car, Robin's in the training room, and I think Starfire's meditating with Raven," he answers, keeping his eyes glued to the screen and his fingers moving like lightning on the controller.

A quick glance at the screen tells you that he's really good at this game.

"Oh, is there any coffee?" you think to ask.

"Huh?" Beast Boy asks. "Oh, yeah. Robin's pretty much the only one who drinks it, but he keeps a ton of it around. Go nuts."

Soon, you have some tasty eggs and bacon, along with a mug of coffee. After wolfing it all down, you pick up the bowl of paste and head for your room, placing it in front of Silkie.

The larva's eyes shoot open, and he dives into the bowl, emptying it of its contents in seconds. He then looks up at you, gives a belch, and smiles.

It looks like you've made a good first impression on Silkie. It's always nice to make a new friend.

Now, what to do?

>A. Go find Cyborg; maybe he'll let you help with his car

>B. Go back to the common room and see if Beast Boy will let you play video games with him

The only room you actually know the location of aside from the common room, the showers, and your own room is the training room. You're sure that, if Robin's there, he'll be willing to help you train.

As Silkie leaves your room and heads off, you take a short walk to the training room, finding Robin in the same circle Raven was training in yesterday, dodging shots and deflecting them with his staff.

You're kind of astounded that everything seems to have been completely cleaned and repaired since your emotional outburst yesterday. The Titans work fast, and work well. It's like the damage was never even done. And what's perhaps more impressive is Robin himself.

You didn't think a regular person could move like that, but he does his exercise flawlessly, not being hit once before the turrets shut down. He steps out, grabs a towel, and wipes the sweat from his face.

"Hey, Peter," he says once he's done. "Do you need something?"

>A. "I was hoping you could help me train."

>B. "Is there any way you can help me better keep my powers under control?"

>C. "Yesterday, when I was heading to my room, I thought I saw Brother Blood."

>D. "What happened to Jinx and Kid Flash? I haven't seem them since the fight with Blood."

>>2163540
>>A. "I was hoping you could help me train."

>>2163540
>>A. "I was hoping you could help me train."

>>2163547
>>2163553
"I was hoping you could help me train," you answer.

Robin puts his towel away, looking pleasantly surprised by your request. "No problem. I'll put you through some more combat training. But first, let's get your blood flowing a bit. I want you to run some laps around the training room. I'll tell you when to stop."

At first, you don't see why Beast Boy was so against the idea of being made to run laps. The training room is large, but nothing you can't handle. You figure that you'll just a run a lap or two before moving on.

Once you reach lap five, you're able to understand Beast Boy's feelings. Robin watches as you circle the room over and over, and by the time he finally calls for you to stop, you're drenched in sweat and your legs are killing you.

"Okay, now we'll move on to the real training," he tells you while you gasp for breath. "You showed yesterday that you have the basics of offensive fighting down just fine, so I want to work on defense."

He motions for you to join him in the same spot you fought before. "Defense is important, and it's also probably the area where our team's the most lacking. Every single one of us can dish out damage, but when our enemies fight back, most of the team can't hold their own quite as well."

You don't imagine that's a major problem for people like Cyborg and Starfire, who have super strength. But for someone like you, whose powers are psychic rather than physical, that could be something really worth worrying about.

"No matter how good you get at fighting, you're still going to get hit," Robin continues. "So this training will be just as much about taking hits as stopping them. I'm going to come at you with everything I have. Don't worry, I won't do any permanent damage, but the more extreme the training, the faster you'll adapt out of necessity."

>A. "Alright, I'm ready."

>B. "Bring it on. I'm not scared."

>C. "Can't we start a little less extreme?"

>D. "I don't think I want to train anymore..."

>>2163671
>>B. "Bring it on. I'm not scared."

>>2163671
>A.

>>2163671
>>A. "Alright, I'm ready."

>>2163671
>>A. "Alright, I'm ready."

>>2163697
>>2163704
"Alright," you tell him. "I'm ready."

"Alright, here I come!" Robin shouts, leaping into the air and coming down on you.

You were not ready. Robin beats the living snot out of you over the next hour. You're able to occasionally block or avoid a hit, but never fend him off for long. You get absolutely thrashed, and by the time Robin finally calls training to an end, your body is sore all over, and you're pretty sure you have your fair share of bruises.

"Not bad for your first day," Robin compliments, throwing you a towel. "Keep it up, and you'll be just fine in a fight."

There's a beeping, and Robin pulls out his communicator. "Oh, right. I told Starfire I'd take her skating. I have to run. You should probably take a break from training for the day. The others will be around if you need them for anything."

>A. "Where's the garage?"

>B. "Where does Raven usually meditate?"

>C. Go back to the living room

>D. Go take a nap

>E. Get cleaned up then head out. You're going to spend a day out on the town.

>>2163765
>>B. "Where does Raven usually meditate?"
Time to train our mind.

>>B. "Where does Raven usually meditate?"

>>2163765
>>E. Get cleaned up then head out. You're going to spend a day out on the town.

>>2163779
>>2163786
"Where does Raven usually meditate?" you ask Robin as he starts to leave.

"Usually in her room when the rest of us are around," Robin answers, stopping but not looking at you. "If you need to see her, just try not to get on her nerves too much. She doesn't usually like to be bothered."

Robin tells you where Raven's room is, then leaves for his date with Starfire. You go and clean yourself up a bit, then head for Raven's room, which has her name conveniently written on the door.

Knocking doesn't get you an immediate response, but when you knock for a second time, the door slides partway open, enough for you to see about half of Raven's hooded face as she looks at you.

"What?" she asks in a monotone voice.

>A. "I was hoping you could help me learn to control my powers."

>B. "I was wondering if I could meditate with you."

>C. "I wanted to thank you for yesterday."

>D. "You seem to know about my powers. Is there anything you can teach me?"

>>2163896
>D. "You seem to know about my powers. Is there anything you can teach me?"

Neutral voice, Straight to the point.

>>2163896
>>B. "I was wondering if I could meditate with you."
Also.
>>C. "I wanted to thank you for yesterday."

>>2163896
>A.

>>2163907
Yeah, you can combine C with another.

>>2163896
>>C. "I wanted to thank you for yesterday."
>D. "You seem to know about my powers. Is there anything you can teach me?"

>>2163915
You could do what princess principal quest does and any choice that can be added with another gets written with >>

>>2163915
Thank you. I would say C with A. Thanking her first would be appropriate.

>>2163932
That's a good idea.

>>2163934
>>2163909
"I wanted to thank you for yesterday," you say with sincerity.

"You're welcome," she responds, her voice a little less cold. "I'm just glad we were able to get your powers under control."

"Actually, that's partly why I'm here," you explain. "I was hoping you could help me learn to control my powers."

The door slams shut in your face. You think that's a "no", and are just turning to walk away when it slides completely open.

"Come in," she tells you. "But don't touch anything unless I say different."

Raven's room is spacious and dark. Aside from her bed, and a chest beside it, there's a multitude of books scattered all around; some on shelves, some in piles, some just sitting on her bed. It's a safe bet that the girl likes to read.

Beyond that, there's a few odd statues that make you feel a bit uneasy, some weird patterns on the floor leading to her bed, and a multitude of religious symbols on the floor surrounding it.

There's about a million questions you want to ask once you see all of this, but now might not be the best time.

Raven strikes a match and lights a candle, taking a seat on the floor and motioning for you to sit in front of her. She places the candle between the two of you as you sit.

"Alright, your powers are different from mine, and everyone else here," she reminds you. "But, it seems like some of the same principles apply. When your emotions run wild, your powers do the same. It's the same with me. With your new powers, you're going to have to learn to better reign in your emotions. What was it that got you so angry yesterday?"

>A. "I thought about Blood."

>B. "I tried to just think about hitting Robin, but nothing happened until I started thinking about something that made me angry."

>C. "I needed anger to attack. I had control at first, but I tried getting angrier to make it stronger, and I lost control."

>D. Write-in

>>2164011
>C. "I needed anger to attack. I had control at first, but I tried getting angrier to make it stronger, and I lost control."

>>2164011
>>B. "I tried to just think about hitting Robin, but nothing happened until I started thinking about something that made me angry."
I don't actually know if we did specifically think of something that angered us

>>2164011
>C.

>>2164011
>>C. "I needed anger to attack. I had control at first, but I tried getting angrier to make it stronger, and I lost control."
We are not a smart man.

>>2164032
Well, if you learned from your mistake, you're a wise one.

>>2164011
>>C. "I needed anger to attack. I had control at first, but I tried getting angrier to make it stronger, and I lost control."

>>2164021
>>2164028
"I needed anger to attack," you explain, wanting her to know that it truthfully was your own doing, not someone setting you off. "I had control at first, but I tried getting angrier to make my attacks stronger. When I did that, I lost control."

"So, your powers are triggered by emotions, but you lose control if you let your emotions go too far," Raven sums up. "That's...difficult. In that case, suppressing your emotions would do almost as harm as letting them run wild. I think I might have an idea of how to strike the sort of balance you need, but it would be easier to teach you if Starfire was here."

She blows out the candle and stands up. "Come on, we're going to the training room."

>A. "Alright."

>B. "Why?"

>C. "You're not going to beat me up for an hour like Robin, are you?"

>D. Write-in

>>2164108
>>A. "Alright."
>>C. "You're not going to beat me up for an hour like Robin, are you?"
Dry, slightly dark, humor.

>>C. "You're not going to beat me up for an hour like Robin, are you?"

>>2164108

>>2164108

>>2164108

>D: Grab somethong without really noticing you actualy did it.

>>2164183
Was that typo intentional?

>>2164119
>>2164138
"You're not going to beat me up for an hour like Robin, are you?" you question as you get up to follow her.

"Only if you get on my nerves," she answers.

It takes you a second to tell she was joking.

When the two of you reach the training room, Raven points you toward a hanging punching back. As you move toward it, she explains her idea.

"Starfire's powers are emotion-based too," she informs you. "To fly, she needs happiness. To use her starbolts, she needs "righteous fury", and to use her super strength, she needs "unbridled confidence". But she still flies when she's sad, and she's able to use her starbolts and strength when she's scared and uncertain."

You come to a stop in front of the bag.

"You may be able to use your powers without having to give yourself over to emotions," she suggests. "Maybe just remembering the feeling will be enough. I know this sounds stupid, but think about something that makes you angry, without letting yourself get angry."

She walks over, standing at your side and looking at the bag. "Try hitting the bag with your powers."

>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)

>B. "I just need better control" (Get angry, but don't let your powers get away from you)

>C. "What good's a psychic punch when Robin's teaching me to fight? Are there any other powers you could teach me to use?"

>>2164206
>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)
We need to start with the basics before anything else, and Raven is the expert, so let's at least attempt it

>>2164206
>>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)
Also MoG do we have stats or room for advancement? How much of a GAME is this? It seems like a CYOA for now (which is completely fine btw)

>>2164206
>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)

>>2164206
>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)

>>2164206
>>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)

>>2164206
>>A. "Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)
Woudln't hurt to try anons.

>>2164214
You can always improve based on your choices. Right now, your powers are new and you're still learning the basics. Training and the occasional hail mary will help you improve in different areas.

>>2164206
>"Alright, here goes nothing." (Try it Raven's way)

>>2164206
>A
>D:"It's kinda hard to use memories to trigger a emotion, specialy since i don't have many memories."

>>2164213
"Alright, here goes nothing," you tell her.

Staring at the bag, you follow her advice, thinking back to something that made you angry. With your memories only being about two or so days old, there's not too many options for you to draw on, but getting tossed around by Blood works just fine. You remember all of the anger you felt in that moment, and what it let you do.

You remember the sensation, but the emotion does not control you.

You picture yourself striking that bag, and you see the bag move as if punched by an invisible hand.

"Nice work," Raven tells you. "Do you have any powers you know about besides punching?"

Well, there was that time you shoved Blood around a bit. Couldn't hurt to give that a go. Using the same method, you give the bag a shove, moving it more than your punch did.

>You have learned the basics of controlling your powers, and can now use psychic punches and psychic shoves at will. Though you understand how to control your abilities, becoming too angry can still cause you to lose control of your power. These two emotions are connected to anger. Over time, you will find more powers connected to different emotions and triggered by different situations.

"You're a fast learner," Raven compliments. "Keep doing that, and you'll be able to use your powers without getting mad. You might still want to do some work in controlling your emotions, though. There's no telling what you'll do if you let them, any of them, become too intense."

>>A. "Thanks for the help, Raven"

>>>A. "Thanks for the help, Raven"
>>B. "How can I do that?"

>>2164321
>>2164325
"Thanks for the help, Raven," you tell her, already feeling better now that you have some small level of control and understanding of your powers.

She nods. "If you're going to be on this team, (and it's looking like you are), we're going to have to be able to work together and trust each other. By helping you with this problem, I'm showing that you can trust me, and by being open with everyone and letting us help you, you're showing that we can trust you."

There's something almost sad in her tone as she talks about trust, but she gives no visible indication of it.

"So, how can I control my emotions?" you ask her.

"There are different approaches used by different people," Raven answers. "For some, it's as simple as thinking happy thoughts. Others rely on basic breathing techniques to keep them level-headed. In my case, I meditate. It helps me keep focused, to reflect, and to better control myself."

>A. "Can you teach me how to meditate?"

>B. "So, if I spend some of my free time meditating, I'll have better control?"

>C. "Thinking happy thoughts should do it"

"Breathing techniques sound useful," you tell her.

"Okay, those are very simple," Raven tells you.

She's not wrong, it only takes her about ten minutes to explain several different kinds of breathing techniques which can reduce stress, anxiety, and overall just make you more calm and level-headed. You can do them pretty much any time, anywhere, though to do it properly takes about fifteen minutes.

"If I were you, I'd make time every day to perform those exercises," she advises. "Do it too sporadically, and it won't be as effective."

"Thanks again for everything," you say to her.

"You're welcome," she replies, heading for the door. "Now, I've got some reading to do. See you later."

Once she's gone, you go to your room, taking a seat on your bed and going through some of the exercises Raven told you about.

>Performing breathing exercises regularly will lessen anxiety and stress buildup, and can be a useful tool in calming down following a stressful event if you have the time. This does not prevent all possible emotional outbursts, but does help you start at a calmer state.

Fifteen minutes later, you actually feel a bit more relaxed. It's only about mid-afternoon, so you have plenty of time to do whatever it is you feel like.

You've spent enough time training for today, and as awesome as Titans Tower is, you feel like getting some fresh air and having a little stroll around Jump City.

Tidying yourself up a bit, you head out of the tower and into the big city, wondering what there is to see.

>To be continued

That's where we're stopping for tonight, everyone. I hope you guys had a good time.

I was planning to run tomorrow, but I agreed to do a job for my uncle tomorrow afternoon/evening, so I'll have less availability. I may still run, but it will start later and last for a shorter amount of time.

If anybody wants to keep up with schedule changes and the like, you can follow me @INSTIGATORQST

If anybody has any feedback for me, I'd greatly welcome and appreciate it. Things you liked, things you didn't, suggestions, things you'd like to see, characters you'd want to make an appearance, etc. I read it all and lurk when I can.

I hope everybody had a good time, and thank you all for participating.

>>2164567
THANKS for the run See you next time

>>2164567

>>2164567
Hey, thanks for running! I dig that you're receptive to changes in voting and options and the like. Also a more raw character appeals to me. Emotion is good.

>>Healings for pussies
Yeah, if you wanna be a healslut.
Healing by itself doesn't make you a bitch boy.
>Heal yourself, keep fighting and beating niggas up.
>Can heal hymens: Be the guy taking your waifu's virginity every night
>Can keep waifu healthy and in fighting shape, in case she loses an eye or something. If it requires touch, can feel up waifu while healing for keks.
>If wanting to go the super edgy xxXOneWingedAngel99Xxx route, healing can be used to terrorize and fuck up some dude beyond their wildest nightmares, I'm talking cutting them up and breaking them only to heal them up again and repeating, or simply breaking bones and forcing them to heal wrong so the guy becomes a deformed freak, with the only way to return to normal being breaking the bones again and healing them correctly. Imagine the collective pants shitting your average mob of thugs would go through at your very presence, once rumors that you like to conjoin people pops up.

I don't want anything to do with the fourth option, but these are some examples of healing without being some pacifistic "Do no harm" fuccboi
By the way, we've got to talk costume. I'm okay with anything really, as long as we get to wear a cape.

Why am I not surprised that this would pop up?
The only thing bad to come out of that movie was the "no capes" meme.
Yeah, it's a risk, but so is having long L'oreal sponsored hair but plenty of heroes still have that.
Where's your campy sense of showmanship? Capes are great and should forever remain a staple for heroics.

Your whole kek plan for feeling up waifus might depend on who you waifu. Some will be less appreciative of that than others.

>>2165326
Awesome!

Lads, what are good codenames for Pete?

Psycholeric? Ok that's awful.

>>2165634
I'm a fan of Impulse. Brain-related, as an electrical impulse is needed to fire a neuron, plus it relates to our emotion-based powers.

>>2165660
I like it.
I mean, that's already a thing in DC though.

>>2165660
Impulse is good

I can also see Peter being called Psych

>>2165660
>>2165670
Impulse is the alias of not one, but two speedsters.

>>2165679
Three, actually

>>2165679
>>2165670
Psypulse?

Psimpulse?

>>2165680
That was just a codename used in two issues, not a serious alternate identity. It never came up again.

>>2165679
Damn. All the good names are taken.

Could be Axon. Those transmit impulses between nerves, like we transmit our impulses to their faces?

>>2165634
Maybe Temperance? I'm a sucker for Tarot references and Jungian archetypes. Temperance isn't about being at peace all the time, by the way, it's about responding to things with the exact measure of feeling that's called for. Mixing fear and anger and calm until true balance is achieved.

>>2165737
That's kind of a girly name though. Plus, if anything, we're the Hanged man or the Tower.

I like that we're not just a typical psychic like Psimon or Miss Martian, but that we have odd mental powers based on our mood.

I feel like the emotion thing should be a good cornerstone to the name, but I can't think of anything good. If it was JUST smashing things when angry I'd go with something like Tantrum, but that's more of a villain name anyway.

I got nothin', guys.

>>2165741
Point on the girlyness, but the hanged man is about gaining insight and power through suffering and sacrifice, while the tower is about betrayal. We don't even know enough about protagonist-kun to say whether either of those fit.

>>2165744
If you wanna make a D&D reference he could be called Wilder.

>>2165737
>>2165744
Outburst?

Feelsman?

Let's just go with Impulse.

No fuck your shit, Bart Allen is a solid character and we're not ripping him off, especially when the timeline is such that he could actually show up in this quest.

>>2165761
Outburst I guess, maybe Equilibrium.

>>2165744
Emotion maybe Empathy or something related with empath?

>>2165756
WELL....we did sacrifice our memories for our power so...the hanged man seems to fit.

>>2165770
>>2165772
Maybe in this universe he goes by another name, Speedy McSpeedface, or Bartman.

>>2165761
I actually REALLY like Outburst as a name. Any strong sway of emotion and shit goes down. It fits pretty well.

>>2165772
Eh kinda like Outburst. And to be c9ntrast to the name we are just a nice chill dude.

>>2165787
Perhaps enemies will think he gets more powerful if he gets riled up, so they will ve less likely to try the old "make him lose his cool" tactic.

Alright fine, I'll also go with Outburst.

Farewell Bartman, we hardly knew ye.

Meh, also marvel mutant

Outburst seems to be the most popular and makes sense.
I tried playing around with language to get something better, but there's simply not much to work with.

>>2165744
Hanged man: We gain power as we lose control, bringing suffering indiscriminately to everything around us. As for the Tower, our origin seems steeped in betrayal, with how Blood tried to act like our friend at first.

Going by the tarot cards idea, how about the Jungian "Animus"? Nevermind, it's also taken. Oh boy.

>>2165899
Hanged Man sounds a tad too esoteric. Just like the previous suggestion I made.

>>2165009
>as long as we get to wear a cape.
Useful capes are fine.

>>2165012
>>2165016
>>2165259
>>2165869
>>2165885
Capes can have a useful purpose.
Batman and Robin use theirs the best.

It's a total use versus risk determination.
Superman's cape is useless but also riskless, so it's function as a symbol wins out.

Capes can be used in dozens of ways in battle if you are trained to use them.
The easiest use is to obscure/protect your body when mooks are shooting at you.
One of top three questions I put to a superhero is how they keep from getting stopped by a couple mooks with guns.
Peter could get Robin to loan him one of those magical flowy kevlar capes.

Also, those techniques for using a cape in battle are absolute shit against Slade, so Robin can chide himself for that.

>>2165909
>Hanged Man sounds a tad too esoteric
This.
It comes from nowhere in character.

>>2165901
>how about the Jungian "Animus"? Nevermind, it's also taken. Oh boy.
I know, right?
Might as well call ourselves Psychkick

>>2165926
Pyschopete

>>2165926
Psyter? No this is terrible

>>2165945
Limbic Pete? Limbic-Man? Limpet?

>>2165926

People possessed by poltergeists can have shit thrown around them according to their mood, maybe we can go with a ghost theme like that?

Ardent - Showing strong feelings.

It's also not the name of any current DC characters so there is that.

>>2165969
Psynapse is actually taken, some-fucking-how.

Psycho-Mantis.

Why not go Psycho-Pete then?

Cuban Pete?

Why would we care how a marvel character name? We don't need to wory about trade marks on a quest

But do you really need to ask?
Yeah, what a good idea it is to use our name in our alter ego.

I like Ardent, but personally I find it'd be better for an OC pyro hero.

>>2165985
Taking things from games, so Psychomancer.

>>2166016

It's certainly the name we'll be using regularly.
This is like having sensitive info on your online handle levels of stupid

I miss Space Station 13 in the glory days of TLE

The sun is shining, the clouds are scattered, a refreshing breeze cools you as you walk, and everything just seems wonderful as you stroll through Jump City.

One of the largest cities on the West Coast, there's no shortage of things to see and do for anyone of any age. Arcades, movie theaters, every kind of store imaginable, a variety of delicious foods, zoos, aquariums, museums, amusement parks, you name it, you can probably find it in Jump City.

There's just one problem.

You don't actually have any money, which greatly limits your options for passing the time today. Jump City may be a huge place with no shortage of things to do, but it's still a city, which means a lot of things cost money. That means no movies, no arcades, no stores for anything but browsing, no food, no amusement parks, and so on.

That doesn't mean there's nothing for you to do, though. There's a beautiful park where people all over the city gather for games, picnics, and all-around simple fun. The beaches are free, so you can go there if you want. A walk along the shoreline could be nice. Or, you could even just walk the city and see the sights.

What do you do?

>A. Go to the park

>B. Go to the beach

>C. Walk the city

>D. Go back to the tower

>E. Write-in

>>2166099
>C. Walk the city
Let's see downtown's lights and sights.

>>2166099
>C. Walk the city

>>2166099
>C. Walk the city
Make note of where things are and places to check out. Recon mission START!

>>2166128
No rest for the wicked, huh?

>>2166144
I mean, it's not exactly work. Just cool places and stores, plus date spots and the like.

>>2166099
>A. Go to the park
probably too late but whatever

>>2166099
There is a mind-controlling half robot psycho after us. Did we let anyone know where we were going? Do we at least have a communicator with us?

>>2166156
No and no

>>2166099
>>2166161
>A. Go to the park
Well, might as well make the trip worth it

>>2166111
>>2166120
Nothing wrong with just walking the city, and that's just what you do, deciding to have a look around and see what you can find. If nothing else, you'll hopefully be able to make note of some places to come and visit later. Besides, it's a beautiful day, just being out in the fresh air feels really nice.

Nobody pays you much mind as you aimlessly wander the city, you're completely inconspicuous and normal as far as they're concerned, and that's kind of a nice change of pace, not having to worry about your powers or what people might want to do with them.

After passing a number of restaurants that you make a mental note to try later, you pass by an alleyway, coming to a stop as you hear someone shout in alarm.

You spin around to see a man dash into the alley, gripping a purse that you're guessing doesn't belong to him. A distraught-looking woman cries out that he just stole her purse, apparently confirming your suspicion.

Maybe it's time to start playing hero a little early?

>A. You have control of your powers now. Psychic punch that thief down!

>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way

>C. Forget it, this is something for the police to handle

>>2166195
>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way

>>2166195
>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way

>>2166195
>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way
Powers are a last resort.

>>2166195
>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way

>>2166195
>You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way.

Between having no disguise and also still needing to learn how to control our powers and discovering just what can happen if we lose control, I'd say using our psychic abilities in this moment is a bad idea.

>>2166195
>>B. You want to help, but you also want to keep a low profile. Chase him down and get the purse back the old-fashioned way

>>2166195
Run after him while using our powers to subtly trip him.

>>2166219
You don't have the level of control to do that on the fly

>>2166207
>>2166208
You aren't just going to act as a bystander when there's a crime going on right in front of you, or, behind you. But, you don't want to use your psychic powers in public like this, at least not without some sort of disguise.

You'll just have to beat down this punk the old-fashioned way.

Breaking into a run, you chase the robber down the alley, managing to keep pace with him, but don't gain any ground at first. But, at least he doesn't seem to realize that he's being followed, and only keeps running for about another block before ducking into another alley.

You're right behind him, and find the crook rifling through the stolen purse. As you get nearer, he finally realizes someone's there, and turns toward you, an annoyed look on his face.

"What do you want, kid?" he asks irritably.

>>A. "I want you to give that purse back."

>>B. "You have something that doesn't belong to you."

>C. Nobody's watching, hit him with a psychic punch

>D. Get in there and give him a punch

>E. Give him a chance to give back what he stole, there's no need for violence just yet

>>2166291
>B. "You have something that doesn't belong to you."
>E. Give him a chance to give back what he stole, there's no need for violence just yet

>>2166291
>>A. "I want you to give that purse back."
>C. Nobody's watching, hit him with a psychic punch

>>2166291
>B. "You have something that doesn't belong to you."
>E. Give him a chance to give back what he stole, there's no need for violence just yet
This is a dumb move, but it makes sense.

>>2166291
>>B. "You have something that doesn't belong to you."
>E. Give him a chance to give back what he stole, there's no need for violence just yet

>>2166291
this, >>2166303
no time to dick around and give him a chance to put us in a position where we could just lose control

>>2166291
this>>2166303

>>2166306
This

>>2166299
"You have something that doesn't belong to you," you tell the man.

There's nobody around, and you just chased the guy down, but you still refrain from use of violent force for the moment. Maybe this guy will give up peacefully now that he's been confronted. And if not, maybe you can just convince him to return what he stole.

That optimism evaporates when the man pulls out a switchblade, spreads his feet apart, and gets into a low stance, clearly ready for a fight. Peaceful solutions are looking a lot less likely.

"It's mine now, kid," he tells you, smirking. "Unless you're dumb enough to try and take it from me."

He waves the blade around, making sure you know exactly what he's got. "So, you gonna try and play hero, or are you gonna do the smart thing and just walk away?"

>>A. "I wish I didn't have to do this."

>>B. "Okay, I gave you a chance."

>>C. "Alright, you win."

>D. Hit him with a psychic punch

>E. Get in there and try to fight him with your hands

>F. Turn around and walk away

>>2166398
>C. "Alright, you win."
>D. Hit him with a psychic punch

>>2166398
>>>B. "Okay, I gave you a chance."

>D. Hit him with a psychic punch

>>2166398
>>B. "Okay, I gave you a chance."
>D. Hit him with a psychic punch
Make it so the punch comes from behind him. That way it's not COMPLETELY obvious it came from us

>>2166398
>>A. "I wish I didn't have to do this."
>D. Hit him with a psychic punch

>>2166398
>D. Hit him with a psychic punch

>>2166398
>>2166424
Changing to E
It won't matter but I'd rather not be apart of the choice to reveal our powers to the first no-name thief we find

>>2166424
I'm okay with this idea, seems better than a normal punch.

>>2166409
>>2166414
"Okay," you tell him. "I gave you a chance."

The thief seems genuinely surprised by your reaction, but not worried. He just seems confused as to why some dumb kid would risk fighting someone armed with a knife over a purse. That confusion gives you enough time to dredge up some angry memories and throw a psychic punch at the crook's face.

Needless to say, he's taken by complete surprise, and knocked right to the ground by your punch. As his back hits the ground, he loses his grip on the switchblade, along with the purse, both of which fall to the ground.

The thief groans, reaching up and wiping a hand across his face. He sits up and looks at you in even more confusion, this time with a little fear added into the mix.

"W-what did you just do?" he asks, blindly feeling around for his switchblade.

>>A. "Don't worry about what I did, worry about what I'm going to do if you don't give back the purse."

>>B. "I can't be the first kid with super powers you've seen in this city."

>>C. "Punched you."

>D. Throw another psychic punch

>E. Kick him while he's down

>F. Wait. He might be scared enough to give up now.

>>2166525
>>>A. "Don't worry about what I did, worry about what I'm going to do if you don't give back the purse."
>D. Throw another psychic punch
he's looking for his knife he doesn't want to give up

>>2166525
>What are you talking about? You just fell, bro

>>2166525
>>C. "Punched you."
He'll think we have super speed or something.

Kick away the blade and ask for the purse.

>>2166525
>>C. "Punched you."

>>2166541
Supporting.
Just grab the purse, toss the knife and run

>>2166525
>>E. Kick him while he's down
>>2166540
Supporting this dialogue

Not sure why everyone's so eager to let him know we have powers

>>2166540
I would love if we just acted like we had no idea what happened as we snatch the purse and run off.

>>2166540
>>2166571
Fine, I'll switch to this.

As long as he bluffs convincingly enough.

>>2166540
>>2166613
>>2166607
Fine, I will allow this write-in

>>2166525
>>A. "Don't worry about what I did, worry about what I'm going to do if you don't give back the purse."

>>2166540
>>2166571
"What are you talking about?" you ask, feigning ignorance. "You just fell, dude."

"Don't screw with me!" he shouts, finding the blade and standing up. "I felt that, and it was no punch!"

He stabs with the blade, missing your body as you instinctively move, but cutting the side of your shirt in a close-call.

Okay, maybe lying when you made it so obvious that you did something was not the best idea. Lesson learned.

"Get away from me, freak!" he demands, holding the blade between the two of you.
