What is Beast Boy's plot???

With Beast Boy having flown off to unleash some nefarious vengeance upon you for his defeat in the chicken fight, you and the others are left to watch the sky and wonder what exactly he has planned.

"So, any idea what he's going to do?" Donna asks.

"Knowing Beast Boy?" Robin asks. "It could be pretty much anything."

"Knowing Beast Boy, it's probably going to be something annoying," Raven suggests. "Or something stupid that backfires on him."

Cyborg smirks. "You mean like the time he accidentally covered Star in motor oil?"

Starfire looks anything but pleased with the memory, and you find yourself questioning exactly what circumstances would lead to such a mistake being able to occur.

The wondering and guessing doesn't last long. Soon, the fun resumes, and the next round of chicken fights begin. Starfire sits on Robin's shoulders, while Donna sits on Cyborg's. While they engage in their next competition, you look to see Raven still sitting it out. The two of you could make a final team, but she doesn't really look like she wants to get involved.

Well, with Beast Boy gone, you can't join in, either. Maybe you should find out if anything's up with Raven. While the others splash and shove, you swim over to your pale-skinned friend.

She doesn't say anything as you come over to her, just sort of glancing in your direction as you swim by her to reach the pool wall, seeing what you're doing. When you just sort of hang out there, she just sort of silently accepts the company and watches as the others play.

>>A. "So, any reason you're not joining in?"

>>B. "What do you think Beast Boy's up to?"

>>C. "You're not feeling left out or anything, right?"

>D. Don't say anything, just sort of hang

"What do you think Beast Boy's up to?" you ask her as Donna and Starfire start shoving at each-other.

"Something stupid, I'm sure," Raven answers, shrugging her shoulders.

She seems about as chatty as normal. Sometimes you have a hard time figuring Raven out. She spends most of her time by herself, and when she does join up with the group, she usually pretty much sits in a corner while everyone else has fun. You know she cares about her friends, obviously, and that she is capable of smiling and the like, but she never seems to let herself join in the fun with everybody, the only exception being movie nights.

Well, maybe that's just Raven. Whatever works for her, you guess.

Robin seems to be kicking at Cyborg under the water, but the big guy stands firm, and Donna seems to be slowly overpowering Starfire. It looks like the couple are in some trouble, there.

"I get the impression these things aren't as fun for you as they are for me," you tell Raven, who looks at you from the corner of her eye as you continue. "Maybe we can hang out sometime, do something you want to do?"

"I..." Raven starts before taking a breath. "I do enjoy these things, just not in the same way that you and the others do. I enjoy being around my friends, but usually not the things they're doing. Trust me, I get plenty of enjoyment just like this."

She turns her head to better look at you. "But, that sounds...nice. We'll make plans later."

Agreeing to that, you spend the next few minutes doing things Raven's way. You stay where you are in mostly silence, watching as your friends play and make noise and have a grand time. It's not really your style, but there is something kind of nice about just watching your friends have fun and be happy.

The chicken-fight seems pretty even, and really looks like it could go either way. But before it can be decided, both Donna and Star are struck on their heads, something falling from the sky and surprising them with the sudden impact. In their surprise, the two fall back off their partner's shoulders and into the water. While they recover, you look up into the sky and see a green pelican flying overhead. It lowers its head, and something else falls, hitting Robin on the top of the head and soaking him with water.

Oh, water balloons.

Seeing that he's been spotted, Beast Boy drops his entire payload, sending a beak-full of balloons dropping like bombs upon you and the others.

He's not going to catch you off-guard that easily. You raise your right hand, concentrate, let a twinge of fear move through you, and create a barrier to protect yourself. You expand it a bit to protect Raven as well, and the water balloons soon slam against it, breaking on the surface and covering your psychic barrier in water.

You need a way to return fire, but you don't know if there's any water balloons you can use against your airborne adversary. Maybe you don't need them, though. You can use your psychic abilities to move solid objects, but what about liquid? It seems worth a try, and if it works, Beast Boy's going to be in for one heck of a surprise.

Keeping up the barrier in case Beast Boy has some more balloons hidden somewhere, you reach out with your free hand, drawing on angered memories as you will the water to fly skyward. You manage a pretty big splash, but nothing near what you'd hoped to accomplish.

Beast Boy makes a hard turn, flying for the mansion roof.

"How much do you want to bet he's got more up there?" Robin asks.

"Well then, we know where to get our ammunition," Donna declares, flying from the pool and toward the roof herself.

"This is gonna be fun," Cyborg comments, pulling himself from the pool and running toward the mansion.

"This madman must be stopped," you declare to Raven, diving beneath the water.

Donna can probably catch up with Beast Boy, and you're sure Cyborg's got a plan of some kind, but you want to give another try at throwing water from the pool up at your foe. Since you've decided to dive underwater in order to protect yourself from possible attacks, you have a limited time-frame to accomplish this before you'll need to come up for air. As you lie beneath the surface and think, you are unable to really figure out why this sort of thing hasn't been working for you. You make another attempts to call on the abilities you typically use for telekinesis and making attacks, but again only manage a sizable splash. Obviously your mind is making contact with the substance, but it feels a bit like trying to throw water with your hand; the substance just drains pours right off you, and your ability to use it in the meantime is incredibly limited.

Your lungs cry out for more air, and you return to the surface, where your ears are assailed by the sounds of "combat". You look up and see that Beast Boy is no longer the only one armed with water balloons. In fact, he seems to be under attack.

He flies as fast as he can in the form of a falcon as Donna speeds after him, hurling a balloon that sends him falling from the sky.

"BB!" Cyborg shouts, rushing to catch the falling changeling, who returns to human form in his mechanical hands.

"Cyborg...." Beast Boy groans dramatically. "Avenge me...."

"I promise, I'll make her pay," Cyborg tells him in mock-seriousness, gingerly setting down Beast Boy as if he truly were dying, and grabbing up some water balloons.

Cyborg and Donna engage in an exchange of balloons, with Donna dodging through the air, and Cyborg leaping out of the way in time to avoid her counterattack. Meanwhile, Beast Boy crawls through the grass toward what seems to be a major stockpile of the balloons. Before he can reach it, though, Starfire scoops up an armful of them, and heads for the roof, where Robin sits perched and watches the chaos unfold.

>A. Go help Donna against Cyborg

>B. Go help Cyborg avenge Beast Boy

>C. Go help Beast Boy get some balloons

We're already a demon. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of wars.

>>2467061
Your strategy doesn't seem like it will be of much use today. So, you'll just have to take the basic approach to combat, here. Pulling yourself from the pool and leaving Raven in relative peace, you make your way to the stockpile of water balloons, grabbing some for yourself and going to war.

As Beast Boy struggles toward the balloons, you provide him with one right to the face, stopping him in his tracks as he groans and lowers his head in defeat. Then, you throw another, this one targeting Cyborg, and hitting him in the back. The metal man looks to you in surprise, which leaves him open to an attack from Donna.

The dark-haired girl gives you a thumbs up, only to gasp and bring up her arms as you hurl a balloon at her face. Two more are already in your hands, and you toss them up to the roof, using your powers to give them the push needed to reach Robin and Starfire.

All eyes are on you, now.

You've successfully made an enemy out of everybody in this confrontation. Foes have stopped fighting one-another, and turned their attention to you. Soon, you will face the combined wrath of the remaining Teen Titans (aside from Raven, who seems to be simply enjoying having the pool to herself).

In a situation like this, you might as well have fun and go a little crazy. So as the other Titans get ready to attack, you let out the best evil laugh you can, and use your powers to levitate some of the water balloons off of the pile, having them float around you as you look toward your opponents.

"Titans, go!" Robin shouts, leaping from the roof-top.

With a thought, you hurl a pair of water balloons up at Robin, who takes them head-on before Starfire catches him and brings him safely to the ground. Cyborg and Donna come rushing in, with the amazon throwing the first balloon, which splashes harmlessly against your psychic barrier. You psychically throw a balloon back at her, but Cyborg blasts it out of the air with his Sonic Cannon. Drawing more balloons to yourself, you begin throwing a whole volley at Cyborg and Donna, leaving you open to an attack from Robin and Starfire. Two balloons strike you in the back, and your body gives a jolt as the freezing water explodes over it.

You hurl some more balloons back their way, slightly relenting in your attack against Cyborg and Donna in the process. They aren't in any position to counterattack, though, and you seem to be in the clear, until a balloon falls on your head, and you look up to see a pterodactyl Beast Boy opens his claws to drop a dozen balloons at you.

By the way, if Peter ever needs to adopt a villain persona again, he could use the name Red Nightmare. It's another reference to King Crimson, of course. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9782151

>>2467299
Shit I like it.

My friend was taking about the Crimson King from Stephen King's novels, and I liked the idea of that as his Terror Titan's counterpart, but fuck if Red Nightmare isn't better.

>>2467327
*Teen Tyrants

>>2467327
I would have suggested it when Peter first decided to go heel on the other Titans this session, but I didn't want to without posting a video of the song, and it took me that long to find one that wasn't a cover.

>>2467353
Yeah, apparently Robert Fripp is really touchy about any KC stuff on youtube that isn't part of their official channel.

>>2467359
At least they let it be on youtube at all. Go find a Garth Brooks song that's not a cover, or a sub-par recording of a live performance

>>2467618
And of course there's Prince.

Radical Action to Unseat Hold of Monkey Mind is on Google Play though. I started listening to it since I got us into this King Crimson mess, and according to the internal tracker, I've heard the album 172 times now, though granted, I sleep with music on.

>>2467621
Are you able to recite the whole thing, yet?

>>2467627
Nope. But I'm still enjoying it though I think its getting time I move on and tackle their discography in earnest.

So what are you doing up at this hour, Mr. EST?

>>2467639
Homework

>>2467640
Good answer.

>>2467299
Yellow Jester Simon when?
Black Queen (Pete's gf) when?

>>2467881
Black Queen is Freddy Mercury.

I think I might have teased out one of Raven's interests that might help us develop our friendship with her. No points for knowing she's an avid reader, but from Spellbound we know she doesn't strictly read practical books. She was enthralled by the story of Rorek and Malchior's battle. She enjoys storytelling. This jives with her joining in on movie nights and her TTG incarnation enjoying Pretty Pretty Pegasus. So I think a good development path would be to consume media together and then talk about it. The talking about it in particular is the valuable part, since Raven and Pete will get to express their opinions and reveal more about themselves.

A good starting point would be a book (though the actual reading isn't much of a together sort of thing), or a movie (can be done together, but selecting one is harder). If we meet with some success then it might be cool to weld Raven and Peter's interests together by having Peter lend her a concept album. They can discuss the story but also the music.

>>2468683
We could introduce her to tabletop RPGs.

>>2468708
One step at a time anon. She could be a fantastic GM, but we need to start somewhere on firmer ground.

inb4 *she* introduces Peter to ttrpgs, because he lived in a cult and only has a really narrow cross section of popculture.

>>2468729
I betcha she secretly wants to introduce people to the setting she built over the years, but never had it in her to form a TTRPG group.

>>2468746
To everyone's surprise, its actually a sci-fi setting.

>>2468729
>Implying Blood would pass up a chance to run a Tomb of Horrors like game to fuck with Sam and the gang

Blood confirmed for That DM.

>>2468835
If he were aware of it, sure. Blood strikes me as the as the sort of guy who was a frat bro in college. Given the guy looks like he's in his 40s at the very youngest, and that the cartoon was in 2003, that would make him an 80s frat bro. Mostly this impression comes from how he would sometimes come across as casual and irreverent when he was in full control, like when he said 'surfs up' to Cyborg when he used his schematics to create a seismic generator in the ocean.

>>2468758
That makes sense, it'd be more novel.

What would each titan play?

>>2468976
Hard to say without a setting, or classes. I think in broader strokes it would look like this:
Beast Boy, Donna and Starfire would all play uncomplicated combat monsters so they don't have to worry so much about the fiddlier details of the game. Beast Boy and Starfire would then focus on having a good time, for Donna being strong is part of the good time. She might end up the team leader.

Cyborg would learn the rules inside out, and make something ungodly minmaxed, possibly with the crafting and gear rules. He wouldn't actually ruin the game, just require Raven to change some assumptions about the campaign she's running.

Robin would consider being leader, but with enough other strong personalities playing, he'd take the opportunity to relax and play a support character. Maybe even a sneaky thief type.

Peter would probably try playing the face, and find that his capacity for deviousness really useful.

We'll be running tomorrow night, and I'll be lurking

>>2468683
Funny you should mention Malchior...

>>2469113
You know, in a way I sympathize with Malchior. Being trapped in a book for 1000 years is awful. Whatever his crimes, I think he's paid his debt to society, so to speak. He would have been a much more fascinating character to me if after Raven released him he had not been hostile, and instead confessed to deceiving her, answered any questions she might have had and gone in peace.

>>2469125
Well, he simply went out onto the roof and was attacked seconds later.

>>2469131
I'd have to rewatch the episode. He did show up alongside the Brotherhood of Evil though.

>>2469135
True, and Herald fucked him up

>>2469146
Probably in space now. Is that what you were hinting at? When Starfire finally gets her own season we'll meet space-tyrant Malchior?

>>2469153
Nah, but space will certainly be involved in Starfire's season

>>2469169
Did you see my Tamaranean theory from last thread?
>>2466649

I had the misfortune of posting it right as you started the new thread, and while I did repost it earlier, it was in the middle of a session, so it got kind of lost in the shuffle.

>>2469187
Yes, it's neat

>>2469190
Thank you MoG-kohai.

So. Wanna shoot the shit? I got the night off and am really just putting around watching music videos on youtube.

>>2469045
I can see that happening, though here's my view of what would happen in a D&D-like setting and system:

BB, the Druid, sometimes forgets what his spells do and his roleplaying ends up being just himself, but he's having a good time.

Starfire, Barbarian, just beats things up and has a good time, but ends up being a suprisingly kind barbarian.

Donna, Fighter, tactical leader of the group, completely against retreat and actually starts playing it like a wargame.

Cyborg, exactly what you said. Probably an artificer?

Robin, Rogue, just takes a more background role and chills, I agree.

Pete, Bard. Of course.

>>2469200
I'm always lurking

>>2469209
Fair assessments.

Unrelated: Peter needs to use those 3000 dollars he's got saved up to customize his room. He needs a good sound system among other things. Right now he just has a radio that can play CDs.

>>2469261
True, I should have a session of that.

>>2469394
I wouldn't make it a super high priority, or even a full session, unless its going to double as something else (someone joins us in the shopping, etc). I'd be just as content to do a 'choose one or more' poll for things to get for KC's room, and let whatever wins over X votes be added to his room, with whatever he can't afford being earmarked for future purposes.

>>2469418
I'll ask about that

https://www.strawpoll.me/15485698

>>2469560
I voted no, but I'm not against the idea of Peter buying stuff, I just hope it's not the same as last time. I found it to be a bit too drawn out to have Peter visit every store one by one by himself. It might be more fun for me if there are one or more other characters present (Donna's room might still need some things too?), or alternatively if we can pick everything across just one or two votes and not spend a whole session on it.

>>2469560
Voted no for the same reasons as >>2469588
Lets shop via poll, and maybe address it in character by inviting someone to check out our now furnished room.

>>2469603

>>2469394
>>2469261
Okay, to get started on buying stuff for Pete's room, I've made this poll

https://www.strawpoll.me/15486166

You can select as many as you want so long as they do not go over Peter's budget. Anything that gets at least ten votes will be considered (though in the case of something like different kinds of TVs receiving more than 10 votes each, the one with the most will be chosen).

Once this has been up for a while, we'll go from there.

If you think of anything else, ask about it here and I'll try to give a price

Peter probably didn’t have a good selection of books to read while growing up. Raven could help giving us some ideas.

>>2470025
The HIVE actually had extensive libraries

>>2470446
How much did they have in the way of light reading? I imagine they'd mostly be books on combat, history, and maybe philosophy. And plenty of books written by Blood that are required reading.

>>2470457
And books blood got for cheap at thrift shops because ugh got to play good guy to these kids. What's the point of being abcult leader if I can't laugh maniacally whenever I want?

And that's how Linus discovered Amelia Bedelia.

>>2470461
>Amelia Bedelia

>Not the Hardy Boys

>>2470457
Light reading was a much smaller section, but there were books to be found.

>>2470463
Alright thanks. I think Pete would have a healthy smattering of books, CDs, and movies of different genres (with some having more than others based on what he knows he likes already).

Also really? No movies option in that poll?

>>2470480
Ran out of spaces

We'll be starting soon

>>2470701
Looking forward to it.

Hello, good people of /qst/. This quest is, as is probably obvious from the OP pic, based on the Teen Titans animated series. You'll be taking the part of a young man and potential Titan, guiding him through his trials and tribulations.

>Rules

There will be a 15 minute voting period between posts.

Please only choose one option (I will let you know in cases where you can choose more)

An option with two arrows (>>) beside it is one that can be combined with other options

Write-ins of dialogue are allowed, but they won't be put in as-written, just sort of the spirit of the write-in. Additionally, dialogue write-ins require a significant amount of support from other players to be put in, as they can greatly affect the character.

Action write-ins will only be allowed under certain circumstances, which I'll announce. You can suggest an action to me if you want, and I may allow it, but might not depending on various factors.

No dice system in this quest. Victory and defeat will come down to decisions rather than random luck. Learn from experiences, develop strategies, and think outside the box at times (like I said, an action can be suggested to me).

Above all, have fun. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for everyone. Through success, failure, and everything in-between, I hope this will be an adventure worth remembering.

It's hard to read the face of a pterodactyl, but you're pretty sure that what you see from Beast Boy's prehistoric persona is pure shock as his payload of watery weapons not only stop their descent, but start coming right back up at him. His eyes seem to bulge out of his head, and he gets into too much of a shocked panic to actually move out of the way, meaning that the only one to suffer the wrath of his many balloons is the green guy himself.


Beast Boy spirals and falls from the sky like a war plane, while you climb higher and higher, pulling up more of the balloons from the reserve pile with with your powers and taking aim as Starfire and Donna come flying up after you. When you hurl your balloons at the girls this time, though, they easily evade the attack, getting in close and pelting you with a pair of balloons.

A second after that, a blue light swallows up several of your balloons, and birdarangs pierce the others, rendering them useless. Starfire and Donna come around for another run, and both Robin and Cyborg get ready to attack from the ground, while Beast Boy shakes off the effects of your prior attack and returns to normal form.

>A. Raise your hands and surrender

>B. Surround yourself with a barrier and buy yourself some time

>>2470799
There doesn't seem to be any avoiding this next volley, so you decide to block it instead, creating a barrier around yourself. The balloons harmlessly break against your psychic force-field, and you buy yourself enough time to take more balloons from the pile with your powers, throwing them at your attackers. They're expecting it this time, however, and you miss every throw.

Things are not looking good for you. You're surrounded, and your tactics are becoming less effective by the second. Your barrier won't last forever, either. Either you'll run out of energy, or someone will break it themselves. You are competing with four people that can make use of super-human strength, and a man with gadgets that can make him just as dangerous.

Your foes grab their balloons and begin closing in for the kill.

>>2470878
I'll support my own
>E. "YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME TITANS!" since I think we can be hamming this up more.

>>2470878
I can support the Hammy one.

>>2470850
"YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME, TITANS!" you declare in the most hammy voice you can muster, using your psychic abilities to perform a dastardly trick against your friends.

The balloons in their hands begin to pop, sometimes when just being held normally, but more often when they're winding up for a throw, resulting in them getting water in their faces. Once again in a state of shock and chaos, the Titans give up their attacks, and you're free to drop the barrier and reorient yourself, returning to the pile of balloons.

You hadn't really counted how many balloons you and the others were using up until this point, but the stockpile is nearly empty, and there is no sign of either you or the others giving up.

"Truce?" Robin offers upon noticing the lack of ammo.

>>2470911
>>2470929
"Truce" you agree, allowing the carnage to end and the party to continue.

Things are pretty calm after that. At least, they're as calm as they can be at a pool party staffed and attended exclusively by teenagers. Food is consumed, slides are slid down, diving boards are used over and over, Silkie consumes his weight in pretzels, chicken fights are waged, and everybody just has a grand time.

Soon enough, though, the sun begins to set, and everybody packs up, departing for home.

The next day comes without incident, and you wake up feeling nice and refreshed, ready to take it on. A quick shower and a change of clothes, and you're ready to go.

How should you start the day?

>A. Do some breathing exercises and relaxing meditation

>B. Go to the training room. There's a lot you could work on

>C. Go to the common room and see who's up and about

>>2470967
>C. Go to the common room and see who's up and about
My preference would be to see if anything is going on today first, then train, then meditate to cool down.

>>2470974
I mean, unless you expect relaxing meditation to have the potential to spiral off into a different tangent, it just seems like a time saver. We discussed the idea of having an in-place morning routine we could zip through to the more interesting decisions. I'd be cool with doing >B then >A.

>>2470967
I'll be a good boy.
>B

>>2470980
Basically this. But just for you MoG I'll switch >>2470968 to just B

>>2470986
Fair, I'll go with >B to be clear.

>>2470967
>A

>>2470967
>>B. Go to the training room. There's a lot you could work on

>>2470981
You think you'll start the day with a visit to the training room. There's plenty that you could stand to work on, and if nothing else, a workout should be a good way to wake you up this morning.

Nobody makes an appearance as you walk the halls, making your way to the training room. As you get closer to your intended destination, though, you hear the sounds of a few of your friends training. Sure enough, when you arrive, you see three familiar faces.

Cyborg, Donna, and Starfire are all in the process of holding up mountains of metal, straining as the machine adds more and more for them to hold. Cyborg is lifting less than the two girls, but clearly putting in just as much work. As for Starfire and Troia, it seems as though they're competing to see who can hold the most, as seems typical for them.

Other than the machines your friends are using, the room is pretty much free. You can do whatever sort of work-out you want. Training dummies can be used to practice your hand-to-hand technique, or as targets for your powers. The laser ring is free if you want to practice barriers or dodging, the perimeter always works for running laps, and there's plenty of spaces to do basic exercises such as sit-ups, push-ups, or rope-climbing. There's also treadmills, stair-machines, exercise bikes, total gyms, and so on.

>A. Go practice fighting with the dummies

>B. Go do some basics; running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.

>C. Go into the laser ring

>D. See if any of the others want to take a break and spar with you

>/>>E. Write-in

>>2471025
>>A. Go practice fighting with the dummies

>>2471025
>>E. Use the dummies to experiment with whether or not you can use willpower to strengthen your psychic strikes like you've used it to strengthen your barrier and psychic hold.

>>2471025
>B. Go do some basics; running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc
Should I add
>E. Try to go beyond your usual times and limits
Or is that a given? Progression is really important, not just routine.

>>2471025
>C. Go into the laser ring
Really push to strengthen your shield. It breaks way too easy still.

>>2471025
>B.
Work on your basics first. I like this >>2471034
for afterward.

>>2471025
>D

>>2471036
Starting with the basics seems like a good way to get started. A warm-up never hurts.

To begin, you run some laps around the room, saying quick "hello"s to your friends as you pass them on your trek. You've done this so much over the past few months that it's gone from grueling to a simple beginning exercise. Your body shakes off any remaining traces of sleep and gets your blood pumping as you go around and around.

Just as you're finishing up, and moving onto your push-ups, Robin steps into the room, quickly spotting you and starting over, clearly having something to say. You hold off on getting into your next exercise as he makes his way to you.

"Hey, I thought I'd find you in here," he greets once you're within comfortable ear-shot. "I've got some news you might want to hear about."

He comes to a stop. "When you first moved in, I told you I'd do some digging about your past, or, where you came from. We know about the HIVE, obviously, but I was having a hard time finding anything before that. But, with your name, your sister's name, and some of what Raven overheard from your conversation, I've been able to track down some information. It's not a lot, but I can keep digging if you decide that's what you want. For now, I can show you what I've found, assuming you're still interested."

>A. "Absolutely."

>B. "I'm interested, but can we do this later? I want to do my daily exercises."

>C. "Honestly, it doesn't matter that much anymore. I've found my sister and my mom, and they can tell me what I need to know."

>/>>D. Write-in

>>2471103
>B.
>D. And so as not to be brushing him off shake his hand, "Thank you, Robin."

>>2471103
>A. "Absolutely

>>2471103
>>A. "Absolutely."

>>2471103
>B. "I'm interested, but can we do this later? I want to do my daily exercises."
>D. And so as not to be brushing him off shake his hand, "Thank you, Robin."
This sounds good. I was worried B by itself sounded rude.

>>2471103
Support >>2471120

>>2471120
>>2471130
>>2471132
Still kinda rude, desu

>>2471103
>>2471120
Backing as well

>>2471134
You're right. Hopefully his sincerity will help take the remaining edge off. Context is everything.

That said, it might even get a laugh out of Robin. Its not too different from himself or Batman.

>>2471134
in that case last minute switch to >A plz

>>2471143
Pretty sure I was too late.

>>2471142
Yeah, because it was Robin I thought he might like the dedication to keep training.

>>2471120
>>2471130
"I'm interested," you tell him sincerely. "But, can we do this later? I want to do my daily exercises."

"Uh....sure," Robin tells you, not expecting that.

You don't want to be rude, or for him to think that you're just brushing him off. So, you shake his hand, and give him sincere thanks.

"Thank you, Robin," you say, really wanting him to know that you're not just trying to blow him off or disregard the work he's done.

He laughs, so you guess he's not offended.

"No problem," he says, taking a step back. "We'll talk later."

He shakes his head, smiling to himself. Weird.

You do some push-ups, sit-ups, take a quick break to drink some water, then decide what to do next.

>A. Laser ring

>B. Practice fighting using the dummies

>C. Go see if anyone wants to spar

>/>>D. Write-in

>>2471176
>>A. Laser ring

>>2471176
>B. Practice fighting using the dummies
Well, at least he knows we are committed to training.

>>2471176
>B. Practice fighting using the dummies
>D. See if we imbue our punches with Willpower(tm)

>>2471176
>>D. Practice using willpower to enhance our psychic strikes.

After that go talk to Robin.

Also, we really need to get to unlocking a new power.

>>2471176
>>D. Use the dummies to experiment with whether or not you can use willpower to strengthen the power of your psychic strikes like you've used it to strengthen your barrier and psychic hold.
Beyond stamina, I think Pete's biggest weakness is he doesn't have enough firepower to reliably hurt super-durable foes like Cinderblock or Snowflame.

>>2471192
>Implying anyone can harm Snowflame

>>2471192
Snowflame isn't super durable. He's just impervious to pain. Our best weapon is to use a will-enhanced hold, and have a super strong buddy wrestle him down and bind him. Or teleport him to a rehab center.

>>2471198
We just need to get him to fight someone powered by meth.

>>2471200
>He's just impervious to pain.

So psychic tickles then?

>>2471201
Nyquil Man.

>>2471207
...That actually might work.

>>2471207
We need to lock him in a room full of downers to counteract his stims.

We need Captain Weed.

>>2471188
>>2471190
>>2471192
Lately, you've noticed that your abilities seem to be enhanced by willpower. While anger might get your telekinesis started, and fear create your barriers, willpower seems to greatly increase their strength. It's how you were able to compete with Donna's incredible strength, for example.

But what about your punches? Quick, psychic attacks given an extra kick by the added focus of willpower. That would probably allow you to take on more physically powerful foes in combat. And you have an abundance of perfectly good training dummies waiting for you here.

You decide to give it a go. Each psychic punch you throw at the dummy enhanced with your own willpower. And sure enough, you pack a lot more power in your punches with this method, and in fact punch its head off after a few more strikes.

Well, that's certainly an improvement.

>To be continued

That's all for tonight, everyone. I hope you had fun.

Remember to give this a vote https://www.strawpoll.me/15486166

Thank you all for playing, and, again, I hope you had fun

>>2471275
Thanks for the run MoG! Could we establish a usual morning routine just to speed some stuff up? Most votes for the start of the day tend to be for the same things anyway.

>>2471275
Thanks MoG. It was part last session too, but I enjoyed the entire water balloon saga.

>>2471284
I'm glad you enjoyed it

>>2471283
Sure, that seems like a good idea

>>2471275
Thanks for running! Short session today. I kind of wish we could have done a slightly bigger send off for pool party, but it was fun.

>>2471283
Agreed. Assuming we wake up with nothing pressing, a basic work out (cardio, strength training, etc) could be a gimme. Afterward we can decide if we want to stay in the gym and work on something specific.

Ah crap I'm late

>>2471305
Sorry, anon

>>2471311
btw, how many training dummies do the Titans go through?

>>2471385
I'm guessing less than you think, if they can be put back together.

>>2471396
This, but dozens are still broken each month

Hey MoG, in case you're there

>>2471560
I'm still going for Donna. She's the most fun and also has the sexiest personality.

>>2471571
To each their own, anon

>>2471560
I like how the band poster is number 1.

Personally, I'm against Peter owning a TV. My sense of him is that he watches TV as a social activity, which he can do in the living room, but ultimately that's not my call.

https://www.strawpoll.me/15492623

>>2471584
This one's a hard call. I think for now Peter might get along with Cyborg and Beast Boy the best, but I went with Simon because so far I think he and Marissa have made the single biggest sacrifice for Peter's sake, and I appreciate that.

>>2471589
I voted for Cyborg for the opposite reason. I think their personalities mesh naturally. Simon has indeed made sacrifices for Peter, but Simon does not know him beyond the fact that he's a good guy. That's great best friend potential, but not best friendship by itself.

>>2471608
>>2471589
That does remind me, I should probably have Peter find out what became of Simon and Marissa

>>2471609
I don't know if we have any way to contact them. I figured they'd reach out to us when they feel safe.

For that matter, during the timeskip we sort of completely ignored our mom. Hopefully Marissa reached out to her?

>>2471613
She did

>>2471609
That sounds ominous.

>>2471617
Does it? Hmm, interesting.

What CDs you want, senpai?

>>2471935
Think you'll be running, Mog?

I'd vote for the obvious progrock and related stuff, but also some weird stuff he picks just to experiment. Like Japanese Samba or some other weird shit.

>>2471944
Probably not tonight, but we'll see

>>2471935
I figure he goes to a record store and goes by instinct, seeing what pings Samuel's memories, and then later on he can build out from there.

He probably winds up with most of King Crimson's catalog, as well as some Yes, some Pink Floyd, and some Emerson Lake and Palmer. Feel free to throw in other stuff that Samuel might have listened to and enjoyed.

>>2471949
Wax Fang?

>>2471957
The point is to surprise us, MoG. Teach us things about Sam we don't know. Accidentally leave there with the yamaha keyboard and no clue if we can even play it.

>>2471560
Alright, I will now consider the poll closed.

Peter has bought

A King Crimson Poster

Clothes

CDs

And a CD Tower

Let's say he spent about three hundred and twelve dollars.

>Update

There's a small chance that we'll run on Saturday or Sunday, but for now, everything points to Monday.

Things that I'll try to address in the next few sessions:

Training

What Robin found

What happened to Marissa and Simon

Your mother

And so on

>>2472631
Cool. Good to hear.

>>2472631
>>2472640
Oh, forgot to add making plans with Raven

>>2472646
Also that Cyborg is now our best bro and that Raven and Rose fused into one being and won the Peterbowl.

>>2472662
I feel like that second part didn't happen

>>2472662
What would a Rose-Raven hybrid even look or act like? What would it be called?

>>2472680
Rosen?

>>2472681
I'm guessing her dad is Deathgon then.

Or maybe Tristroke?

>>2472680
Name: According to an Anagram maker, 'Rose Wilson' and 'Rachel Roth' together make 'Rhetoric Hornless Owl'. Less silly: 'Rose' and 'Raven' make 'Nova Serer'.

Act: Combine Rose's aggression and volatility with Raven's withdrawn nature, self-esteem issues, and emotion-based powerset firing off near-constantly. Basically, a hot mess.

Looks: I repeat, a *hot* mess.

>>2472706
I mean, both girls are pretty attractive on their own, how much more impressive could they look together?

>>2472712
Ravens curves and roses lady abs?

>>2472719
But how well would those work together?

>>2472712
Grey skin, white hair, cool magic powers that make her look dope, athletic build.

And screwed like none before.

I would be down to meet Nova Serer in the Alt-Titans.

Now, what other combos would come out interesting?

And I just realized that mixing TT cartoon Raven and Rose ends up creating a Drow.

>>2472744
Hah

After Raven and Rose defuse they vow to never do it again, as it was too awful an experience to contemplate.

>>2472737
Starfire + Troia: Atria Frostier, maximum space amazon. Kind and open-hearted but a bit too confident for her own good.

Beastboy + Cyborg: Tyro Bobby Cages. A party animal (1/4). A party machine (1/4). A party man (1/2).

And since we're out of partners:
Robin + Kid Crimson: Sir Doom Brick Inn. Not actually as foreboding as his name sounds. A competitive workaholic. Honestly not very fun to be around most of the time but smart, well meaning and gives good advice.

>>2472759
That sounds like an amazing team.

Revenger, Star-Woman, Caged Beast, Crimson Wing?

Okay maybe coming up with codenames isn't as easy as it sounds.

>>2472759
>tfw no Atria waifu

>>2472735
I honestly can't find anything SFW but trust me it works.

>>2472930
google 'curvy fit' with safe search on (or off)?

>>2472933
Oh I meant of Raven specifically

>>2473271
Google 'Raven Abs' and check the images tab. There are at least seven relevant results.

>>2473666
Relevant but not what I was looking for though. They're all just slightly off of the look I'm picturing

Google Raven Muscular

You may thank me later.
