    Frost will fly to the reactor. I will stunt whatever Enhanced Flight I need to get there off his main array to get there this round with the descriptor of calling on the energies of Nifelheim more directly than usual, staying insubstantial to avoid attacks by Antibodies. What does he find there - or do you need an IC post from me on the way?

    A couple of days after the events at the DeWitt Building, the Freedom League delivered a message to Rampart from Racer. "Cho - They are taking care of me here. I will see you again when you are done with school - and then we will find our friends. Your friend." And then, in careful Roman characters, she'd written her name and the words SOON.

    This was hardly the first strange visitor that the Freedom League had dealt with - or even the first hostile group of them. Fleur de Joie's gateway led them into an armored basement room underneath Freedom Hall, a brightly-decorated, welcoming place that happened to have thick steel walls and several layers of concrete between the room itself and any civilians. Once inside the room, Vigil and Threepio separated from each other, cyborg and robot heading off to each side of the room to glare at each other. For his part, Threepio (once it was clear he would not be handed over to Vigil for immediate return) seemed fascinated by the place. "Look around, Vigil!" he exclaimed, rubbing his hands together warmly. "Just imagine this place at home. You could be executed just for setting foot inside." Vigil did not seem inclined to listen to his rival's taunting. "Execution is the least you'll face. Do you think your people will be trusted after what you've done? After the good and decent beings you helped you slaughter. Maybe this world is run by humans," he said with a glance at Fleur and Cerulean, "but even humans understood the rule of law. Unless inorganic life means nothing to them - maybe they'll dissect _you_ for their pleasure."

    Steve took a step back, further blocking the door with his broad shoulders, and shook his head. I could sit on him, he reflected. I would have to be careful not to injure him. He doubted that Erik or Ellie would object to the sight of their father in restraints, even physical ones. Rather than simply lash out, though, or even wait for an attack that he suspected would be imminent once the older man realized there was no way through the door without going through Steve himself, he realized he had a question. And I would always rather talk than fight. "Why are you here?" he asked Jean, a tone of honest curiosity in his slow, rumbling voice. "What does this mean to you?"

    Tarva stared uncertainly at Becky for a moment before breaking out into a wide, almost predatory smile of her own. "How delightful! I'm sure we'll have quite the time together." She snapped her fingers and suddenly, from the shadows of the plane, an inky collection of humanoid figures began pulling themselves free. "I'll have the servants carry the bags while we walk and talk," she offered winningly as the umbral humanoids began picking up everyone's luggage, their black, blank faces vaguely recognizable as Tarva's own silhouette. She glided over to Becky and bowed politely even as her army went to work. "I am Tarva, my dear, I am a humble...friend of your friends. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." She offered her hand with a confident, toothy smile. "Where shall we go?" she asked the others brightly.

    Don't use the Tough feat - use the Protection power. You should get him up to caps offensively and defensively. Try and clear up the formatting - I know it's weird with the new site HTML.

    Couple of things - I like the concept and backstory well enough. Note that being a mutant isn't particularly discriminated against in Freedom City. It's more like pre-New 52 DC, where everyone loves people with superpowers, why not? We prefer that you just use Teleport as written, no need to call it Spatial Control. Please use the array structure as seen in sample builds like my All-New Oddballs thread in Character Building. That arrangement of Deflect is suggested in the text - but is actually a crummy deal. I suggest instead you do something like: AP: Enhanced Impervious Toughness 1 (Extras: Reflective 2 [all attacks]) {21} That way anything stopped by his Impervious will be flipped around and shot back at the enemy.

    Artoo responded first, handing over the bag with a look of reluctance on his face. "Well...all right, but don't mess with it. Do you have any super-scientists on your team?" he asked, speaking like an anthropologist asking a native about their rituals. "Maybe they'll understand the technology. Just...just don't mess with it, you might break it!" he added, watching Fleur's handling of the bag (which was much heavier than it looked) anxiously. For his part, Vigil set the gun down and kicked it over to Fleur, hmmfing as he did so. "It has a DNA lockout, so it won't even work for you. Big deal. I'm not staying in your dimension long - just long enough to bring my prisoner home." He looked up at Cerulean, his cybernetic eye gleaming in reflective light. "Who do you think you're trying to fool, kid?"

    May-June 2015 This Is Your Song! In Hell in the summer of 2015, Great King Amdusias leads his 29 legions of demons and spirits in war against his fellow lords of Hell! It's a grim struggle in which Amdusias comes close to breaching the very wall of Infernal Creation before finally being driven back to his place by a desperate alliance of all his fellows (with a little reluctant help from the mystic heroes of Freedom City). Just another story from the eternal bucket of crabs that is Hell itself. But thanks to Amdusias' bond with music and song, something strange happens in the world above during his war to conquer Hell. As his dread power waxes and wanes through the early summer of 2015, strange things start to happen as people, especially super-people, suddenly hear music and are swept up in song! Note that Amdusias's power also reaches out into space, indeed, into our entire galaxy! This raises many theological questions that will no doubt be the subject of much debate among knowledgeable scholars in years to follow. That's right, folks, it's a musical episode, in the vein of our previous vignette along those lines, as well as Buffy's Once More With Feeling and Xena's The Bitter Suite. At some point during your character's day, or night, they are swept up in a musical number! They can sing alone, with partners, in a chorus, everything you've come to expect from TV and movie musicals. Feel free to write joint vignettes too. Please post your vignettes HERE http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/8318-may-june-2015-vignette-this-is-your-song/ You can use already-written tunes for your character - but you must write ORIGINAL LYRICS; it's more fun that way! Please post your vignette by July 1, 2015 to receive full credit. Your vignette should be about one typed, double-spaced page in length.

    Initiative time! I'll say they don't take you by surprise since you're watching. http://orokos.com/roll/289799 = 7 The goons go on 7 http://orokos.com/roll/289800 = 16 Lord Angstrom will go on 16

    "How dare you! Don't listen to him, he's a quisling!" declared Threepio-47, or whatever his name was. "He's an agent of Talos, sent to reclaim the machine!" He was bent protectively over his device, eyes flashing as he prepared to defend it. "That's big talk from you, robot," sneered the new arrival, his gun out but not leveled. "My name is Vigil, and Citizen 0047 is a murderer and a traitor. I'm here to bring him to justice and stop the killing." "It's a war," added 0047, "we did what we had to do! Listen, Fleur de Joie, and you, Cerulean, I came here after I stole this device from one of Talos' laboratories. I was supposed to deliver it to my contacts in the human resistance, but there was a firefight, and the device must have triggered-" "You killed innocent civilians! Human beings, doing a job to save their families," said Vigil, obviously holding back a simmering fury. "And if your terrorist friends get their hands on that thing, they're just going to kill more people."

    "Agh..." The robot put his hands to the side of his head as if fighting off an all-too-human frustration, before he pointed at Cerulean. "Wait a minute! You said the year! You said it was 2015! So I didn't travel in time at all..." He looked around, appreciation showing on his face. "Well, this is much nicer than the dimension I'm familiar with, so good for you guys, I guess." Kneeling down in the ashy dirt, he opened up his bag and began removing the components of a piece of high technology that neither of the heroes recognized, looking like circuit boards cast out of copper plating that he began to fit together in a cube shape. "Sorry about the fire, but like I said, there aren't any trees here where I'm from. Hey, do you have someone named-" Suddenly, something like a nearby flash of lightning interrupted the conversation as the bolt struck down from a cloudless sky and landed just at the edge of the ashy area - disgorging a strange-looking figure. He looked cybernetic too, with a metal arm and a glowing red eye, and he held slung over his shoulder a big, menacing-looking weapon. At the sight of Threepio and the heroes, he declared, "Citizen 0047, you are terminated on the order of-" He blinked, both eyes at the sight of the two women. "What! Superheroes!?"

    Fast-Forward's going to repeat the same maneuver as before - he knows he can't hurt Silver Scream, so he'll go ahead and hit the others. He'll get a little confident after her miss vs. him, so he'll All-Out Attack for +2 - this is for his Targeted Area attack. http://orokos.com/roll/289333 = 24 DC 25 Tou save, just as before.

    "I'm fine, thank you," said the robot with an air of injured dignity, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Nothing a few days in the shop won't cure. You...you Terrans," declared the robot, a tone of anger creeping into its synthesized voice. "I don't even know what the Time Police are, but I can't believe you're so self-righteous about some accidental time travel, even knowing what's coming! Are you really that callous to your own people?" He gestured, unhelpfully, in the direction of Freedom City. "Well, fine then!" He reached into his bag. "I came here by accident. All I need to do is recharge the unit in the machine and I can make my own way back home. I just need an energy source big enough for it - even your Sun will do the trick with the air like that. Just give me a few hours and I'll be on my way." Their escort, the ranger, had sensibly taken the precaution of falling way back - though his jeep was still visible at the edge of the burnt-out area, where the lush foilage began to block visibility.

    "Freedom City?!" The name didn't sound unfamiliar to him - but it certainly came as a surprise, even as the machine quickly processed everything that was going on. The 'man' looked a little taken aback as first his secret was exposed, and then the heroes ran smoothly with his arrival. "I, ah..." He turned and looked at the river. "This _is_ where I was standing, but I've never seen the ravine flooded, or all these trees..." He looked at Fleur and Cerulean, speaking slowly and carefully, as one might to an unfamiliar dog. "That's a fair question. The fire was probably started when I landed here; there was a lot of plasma around when I activated the machine. Hmm. You both are superhuman, but I don't recognize either of you. Can you tell me the year?" His hands were up, but of course who knew where a humanoid robot's weapons might be, or how he might defend himself. "My name," he said with perfect seriousness, "is Artoo Threepio."

    Citizen returned with Aya's water, chemically processed water in a plasticized celluose fiber cup, having delayed to make sure the conversation with Miss Americana hadn't gone in the wrong direction. With a glance at Miss A to make sure it was all right, he offered more than just water to his countryman, "You'd be surprised what Terrans know how to do, scientist, psychologist, or superhero. I went to school with a girl who was just an animate psionic projection left behind after her organic body died - like somebody's ESP avatar come to life. She was nothing but emotions, all tied together, giving her power." At least, that was how he remembered Kimber - who hadn't seemed interested in renewing things even after his return. "But people on Terra were able to help her hold herself together, and now she's still out here in the world doing good." He stuck his hands in his jacket pockets, not wanting to push the other Lor too far. "Are you posted somewhere that you're near other veterans?" he asked quietly.

    An arm broke out of the debris, then another, revealing a humanoid form that had taken almost a direct hit from the fallen tower. A little help from Fleur's vines allowed the man below to emerge and stand, coughing against the ash. He looked average enough to Fleur's eyes; tan skin and brown hair, deep brown eyes, and with a build that was only a few inches taller and a few inches broader than her. "I...oh!" He looked around, blinking wildly. "This is...where _is_ this?" he demanded of his rescuer, bafflement on his face. He clutched what looked for all the world like a brown leather satchel under one arm, for all that no normal leather could have stood such a fire. As she watched, Cerulean looked closer at the man - and saw the cybernetic skeleton beneath! Looking closely revealed no actual signs of human flesh at all; just a metallic skeleton and plastic jointed muscles, twitching all-too-human eyes in the middle of a skeletal metal face. The bag under his arm was real enough; that was one thing she couldn't actually see through. "Is this New Zealand?" He spoke of it the way one might speak of the dark side of the Moon.

    "Bears are troublesome creatures." Tarva, allowing her mistress a moment of privacy, had chosen to discreetly appear behind her companions. She was still in the infamous dress, though now she wore a black cloak behind her and peaked hood above that gave her the appearance of a winged bird of prey. Her hands were folded thoughtfully below her, just over the stomach. "They know the hunt themselves, so they have to be lured into battle. You must madden them first with dogs, then bring them down into a full charge onto the head of your spear. It's dangerous, but they make meat, fur, and trophy all at once...Or so I've heard." She smiled winningly at Wraith. "I'm sure Kinigosi hunts are very different, and even more magnificent." Turning her head, she took in Eve and Becky's reunion, her eyes widening and holding her hands up folded beneath her chin. "Look at them! Isn't that sweet! What a lovely couple. How fortunate they are to have love."

    "Masks? Ah, sure. I didn't think you guys needed..." Rick trailed off, evidently not having realized that superheroes (most of them, anyway) still needed to breathe. He turned and walked back to the jeep he'd used to bring them out there. "I've got some in the back of the jeep, actually, we've been using them in ash zones. You can just snap off the faceplates if you want your eyes free..." He cracked open the rear of the jeep and opened its small equipment space. "And the area's already cleared, so you guys are good to go there. There's nobody but us around for miles." He took the liberty of carrying the masks back, slung over his shoulder as he trudged after the Claremont student. - It was instantly obvious to Fleur where the fire had started - she could feel the broken, burnt roots directly under the fallen watchtower. Whatever had burned there had burned so hot that it had scorched the landscape at least a foot underneath the surface. This was the area she'd have to do the most work to bring life back to the area. Elsewhere, the fire hadn't been so hot, though, and her work would be easier. Suddenly, she was conscious of movement in that broken pile of frozen slag, broken trees, and ashy ground; not just falling debris, but the irregular twitching of something trying to free itself from the great weight pinning it down!
