Nevermore II "Bernie? Wait, hold up." Big guy bumping into Luke, before Luke ran off after him. Bernie talking about some baseball villain, hurt and sick people and... now people's phones didn't work? Baseball, people being sick. He had read something about that... there was something there, something... some of the first Raven's files! He just needed a second to remember and... "Oh shit." He looked around at the others. "Suits, now. Muirne, Leon, go get Luke. Bernie, show me and El the way to you. Nobody moves alone, and stay in touch all the time. The guy that Bernie's fighting sounds like an old villain called the Sportsman, but if I'm right, his partner's gonna be here too, and Princess Poison... well, the name speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

Charlie's Initiative: 22 DC25 Gather Information/Popular Culture/other appropriate knowledge to get the contents of the spoiler. Skill Mastery + Online Research + Well-Informed for Charlie for a total Computers 27 in place of Gather Information.

GM Leon started talking before he realized that the line was dead. He wasn't the only one. All around them, people were beginning to notice that their phones had their signal, like something was blocking it. Not long after El had entered, a man reached the doors and tried to walk out... only to find himself slamming face first into them. He got up, with people around him staring. He tried again, couldn't even reach the handle, like something was blocking him from leaving. Muirne could see something was weird with the life force of the people around them. Around a quarter of the people seemed to have something that stood out among them, something that slowly spread as they touched others. Luke hurried after the man, leaving his friends behind... And the man in the costume that stood before Bernadette grinned, as he spun the baseball around on the tip of his finger. "Alright. Don't say I didn't give you a chance, kid. You're playing in the big leagues now."

@Kaede Kimura: You don't notice anyone watching you or anything suspicious like that, but your ability to spot Life Energy let's you notice that something's wrong with about a quarter of the people you can see... and it seems to be spreading to any that they touch. @Nerdzul: Doesn't seem like the man did anything. Everyone give me some Initiative rolls. Bernie might be the only one in direct combat yet, but that can change quickly. I'll do ICs when I get the chance.

Mentors Willing to Play: GHOST: Long time hero with almost two decades of experience, since starting out as a teen hero himself. Recently became a member of Freedom League Aux, so there's a reason for him being there. Laidback, claims to not be the biggest fan of teen heroes, but still tends to go out of his way to mentor them a bit when he meets anyone. His personal life is mostly a mess, but he's trying to do better, and his mixed reputation could lead to some interesting meet-ups. Little Mermaid II: Would be an international guest, I guess? Could work as a mentor to any water-based heroes, but Mette wouldn't be picky. She got a small ROCKET : An early 20'es science based speedster currently enrolled at Atom Academy. He would mostly be there as an Atom Academy rep. Would Like to Play: Any of them, really, but preferably at least Ghost, with Mermaid as a secondary priority. Any Meet-Ups in Mind: Effigy, Invisigirl and Starshine could all work with Ghost, Mermaid could help Starshine with the confidence, but I'm up for anything. Students FREEDOM EAGLE ∞ : Willing to play if there's some interesting meet-ups, but his main interactions are with other students at the moment. Would Like to Meet: Someone that doesn't mind a rather nervous hero-in-training. Maybe someone that knows something about alien tech that can help him control his armor? Nevermore II: Cowl-in-training, direct mentee of Raven III. It would be interesting to have him be mentored a bit by a different cowl or detective, or at least someone unpowered. Would Like to Meet: Terrifica would be interesting.

Initiative: 29 Archer doesn't have Well-Informed, but is there a chance that Old Man Archer knows anything about Sister Blister, using Archer's benefit?

ic Return to Neverworld: Never/Forever
RocketLord replied to RocketLord's topic in The Realms Beyond
GM Neverworld. Foreverworld. A story that had happened before. And was now happening again. But, who could tell what the new story would bring? What stories, friends and allies would wait? And as the ship faded, as the chaos of the new story unfolded around them, Micah, Eira and Pan could, for just a moment, hear a faint, rapidly fading sound. Tick. Tock. -
ic Return to Neverworld: Never/Forever
RocketLord replied to RocketLord's topic in The Realms Beyond
Forever Boy Pan chuckled at Micah's question, quickly grasping around his friend's shoulder. He was about to say something, then Eira spoke up and... flew off. The Forever Boy looked after her, a worried expression passing over his face for a moment, before returning to a wide smile. "It is a curious thing, is it not?" he asked his friends, while he looked after Eira. "Who can ever tell how long a story will be?" -
"Cat-Sith's inside, but I can't follow. I'll check the roof. I'd like some cover there if it's clear. Otherwise, let's see what I spot." Charlie wasn't a fan of Simon going at it alone inside the building. Callie, Luke, Muirne... he knew all three. Knew what they could do, knew that they could take care of themselves. Sure, he could probably trust Simon, and he should, buuut... he was still the junior member of the squad. He'd have to look into getting some cat-sized ear pieces from Alek... Unable to follow Simon inside, the drone flew up towards the roof.
-
Since Simon's inside, I'm gonna send the drone up to the roof.

This was insane. Robin was acting insane. A bunch of freaking super villains comes crashing through the street, smashing into her shop and stealing a bunch of things that were actually not quite worth that much? They threaten her a bit before leaving, and then, what does she do? Stay back and call the cops? No, no, no. That would be the sensible thing to do. No, instead she grabbed that weird belt with a couple of scales on it that she found in the backroom earlier, the pack of cards that came with it, and started running after them. Yeah. Yeah, that was just absolutely brilliant. Go chasing after the freaking super villains. What was she going to do about them, anyway? Throw board game pieces at them?
-
You'll be able to use it, let's see IC what you're doing.
-
Sure. Make any rolls you like.

OOC for this. @Thevshi

GM Hamburg, Germany Early August, 2021 The journey from Egypt to Germany took 5 hours, even using a top modern Danger International plane. The flight had been largely uneventful, as Veronica and J'onn arrived at the Hamburg Airport. The cloud layer was heavy and oppressive, hardly letting any sun shine through at all. Once they had made their way through customs, a pair of bikes were waiting for them, ready to continue their journey to the West, to find the map to the missing gem.
-
GM It didn't take Prudence long to arrange transportation to Germany. A Danger plane was ready at the nearest airport a few hours later, with a direct flight path to Hamburg airport. A couple of bikes would be ready to get them to their next destination. In the horizon, a plane took off, heading North.

GHOST "Eh. Happens to all of us at some point," Casper shouted after Grimalkin as she disappeared into the crowds. This wasn't his first rodeo, so they just had to figure out how this was happening. Grimalkin being within the crowds just meant he had to focus a bit, making sure that he didn't make the ground under her feet swallow her along with everyone else... but at least his X-Ray goggles helped track her. With Shadowborne asking him his name, he raised an eyebrow behind his mask, not that she could really show it. Really? He'd even joined the Freedom League, and people still didn't recognize him half the time. Alright, he'd deal. "Just the friendly neighborhood Ghost." Aaand somebody called out necromancy. Great. It was magic. Casper really didn't have the best track record with magic in the first place, so of course he'd end up in the middle of something like that, and then somebody dressed like some kind of Dracula's wife showed up. Casper stared at her for a long moment, then threw up his hands. "Aaand of course it's a ghost. Any of you magic types got any idea what her deal is?"

Pan got to the dining car first, of course. Gliding past Eira, he had dismissed any errant golden dust before they made their way inside, where he was of course absolutely perfectly behaved and did not in any way make faces at any kids they passed along the way, before they found the seats by the windows. For his part, Pan let his finger glide across the menu at random, until he finally settled on the haggis. With a comment about never having tried that before, he made his order. With the waiter gone, he raised an eyebrow in response to Eira's wink and drawn out words. "Oh, do you now? And what do you suppose I must do to learn your secret this time?" he leaned forward on the table, resting his head on his hands while he spoke.
-
GHOST Casper held a finger up to silence the man. "Hush now, let her work. Gotta give the new kids a chance to learn the ropes. And you guys are perfect for that." Turning back to Chimera, he continued. "So, if you find anything, you better make sure you got the thing that you need, y'know. Can't just hope for it without checking it, right?"
-
GM "You, you can't do that!" the man shouted, struggling to move away from where he was being held. "You've already assaulted her, now you're trying to steal from her? What kind of heroes are you supposed to be?" It didn't exactly take long to search Freestyle. She didn't exactly have a lot of pockets, but she did have a hidden compartment in a bracelet on her left wrist, which just happened to hold a small USB key. "That's ours! Company secrets! Propitary technology! You can't touch that!"
-
Normally, you might need a Search roll for what you're doing, but we'll count is as an auto success since Freestyle can't resist.

"I was, uh, kinda chosen for this, and uh, where I'm from, all the borers and such kind of... blurs together, I guess? It's more a kind of global thing?" James objected to Tori's statement about them being wrapped in stars and stripes, before visibly cringing. "... Sorry, it's just... kind of different where I'm from. Heroic legacies like that are a big thing. There's been a bunch of Patriots, Freedom Eagles and... and a lot of legacy heroes like that. It" He leaned back in his seat, like he was almost trying to disappear, before perking up a bit, raising his hand. "Umm, do you... do you expect us to be suited up for this?"
-
Yeah. She can't fail those rolls, so... no dice. Give me an IC anyway.

Space Ranger III "... I could just freeze him..." J'onn offered to no one in particular while Corsair ranted and raved about his whole little thing, before the Star Knight explained. "Would a pincer attack work? Some of us go for their ships, some of us go for the bad guys and meet in the middle when they come running? I got a ship if anyone manages to get out."
