-Oh crap! Seriously!?- Mark's thoughts were a muddle of shock and surprise, mixed with a rush of emotions Psyche was all-too-familiar with from even accidental brushes with other minds in a campus full of teenage boys. She caught a brief sensory impression: Zarana was evidently a very determined kisser. -I sort of thought you were at least going to call Summers, or something-mmph!- He'd actually taken the time to think 'Mmph' while necking in a closet. -Look, I'll...I'll get there soon as I can. Really. I mean...no, not like that! Look, I'll get there!-

Mark made his introductions with the usual slight awkwardness he had with people when he wasn't in costume and they weren't aware of his identity. "Okay, what do you want me to do here, Alex?" he asked, leaning close to murmur when people were distracted. "I mean I can probably help them all win the lottery if you want, but that's not legal in New Jersey..."

"Ten...nine...eight...thank you, Fleur..." Somewhat to Jack's relief, Stesha had persuaded Eric to get out of the way. "Teleporters, time to go..." As Erik looked back from his swing at the noise, he saw a torrent of bats descend from nowhere out of the Freedom City sky, blanketing the rooftop in a rush of wings and shrieks that blocked sight, sound, and more, even blotting out his magical sensing abilities. When the storm cleared, the rooftop where he'd just stood was empty.

Mark's friends, or at least his frenemies, often assumed Mark wasn't terribly bright, and it was true that he lived life in his own world. But he wasn't dumb, really, and it wasn't hard to figure out (or at least guess) what Alex had in mind. "So you want to work here?" he murmured to her. "That'd be okay, I guess," he said, falling back on his usual agreeability. "But why me?"

OK, I've edited my IC.

Hmm, I think there was an OOC misinterpretation here. I'd asked the Interceptor players to actually make a list of what they wanted their headquarters to have for this thread and then run that by Doctor Archeville, not force Doc OOC to figure something out for them. In any event, since several threads are dependent on this one and are being held up, I'll move this one along in a real-time week from today if there's no further activity.

Hey guys, Gizmo, after all the hashing-out the Refs had to do to get your character's Super-Senses rules-legal, you should put exactly how they work right there on your character sheet, the way Electra did with Stesha's weird suffocation immunity. (Since you modeled all these sheets on Jack of Blades', I'm saying you should put it on your main sheet). That way there's less chance of them being overlooked or misinterpreted. -
On the dance floor, Mark found his date, his head swimming with fears and ideas. This was a night where everything was going to change, everything was going to be different. Friendships were falling apart, romances collapsing like a wedding cake someone had set on fire, like maybe with a blowtorch, and who knew what the future would bring? He swept Zarana up in his arms, his date looking briefly confused for a moment before returning his kiss. "Let's get the hell out of here," he suggested. "We'll make our own party. And light our own fire." It was almost exactly what she'd said to him at prom last year, when her date had dumped her and she'd grabbed him hanging out in the corner. This time, though, it was Zarana who grinned and nodded, just as he had back then. Together, they went and headed for the door.

With a crack of sheer elemental fury, the mighty blast of winter struck the White Knight about the midsection, instantly flash-freezing the fire-flinging thug in an explosion of power brought about by the sheer scientific genius of one Viktor Archeville. Indeed, the blast was so strong that it actually hurled the Knight out and away, blasting him through the ceiling with fury enough that only the thick coating of ice and his own toughened body protected him as one Daniel Foreman flew out of sight into the sky. It had been a very powerful blast.

1: Injured 2: Passed! Unfortunately, she can't stay and fight these sharks: she's got to stop the others from hitting the beach and biting more innocent people! So she turns around and Swims into melee with the sharks that weren't attacking her. OK, she's going to spend an HP to stunt Takedown Attack, then she's going to use the Huge great white as a club to hit the other sharks. She'll All-Out Attack. DC 25 Tou save for the sharks

All the News That's Fit (IC, Open)
Avenger Assembled replied to Avenger Assembled's topic in Midtown
Beeping on Elena's computer, a message awaited her from Fletcher Beaumont III, the disgraced hero turned journalist having gotten back to his old friend's ghost in record time. He'd spoken to his reporter and she was interested in talking to the Scarab in person at her earliest convenience. The reporter in question, who was not named in the email, had invited the Scarab herself to select the time and place of the rendezvous. -
Fusion fails. Yeesh!

In a black T-shirt and black jeans, Mark was almost unrecognizable. For a second she thought he'd somehow managed to dye his hair in the seconds before she came upstairs, before he pulled off the wig and blinked. "Okay, sure. Where are we going?" he asked her, automatically bending down to pull on his black sneakers. He'd evidently been clothes-shopping. "Do you need Mike or Erin?"

I like this a lot better, Ozoe. Much less angst-waffle vibes here. Some thoughts: No Sense Murderous Intent. We allow very few feats from Mecha and Manga, and that's not one of them. Might also be good if you could make yourself less dependent on your Sneak Attack. If you keep one Sneak Attack and put the rest in upping your melee attack, you'll be in better shape.

Note that she is maintaining her grip on the shark into the next round.

Fusion was in her element underwater, moving with a speed, grace, and power that Joan Collier had to hide on land now that her body was forever altered. But she wasn't thinking about that now, instead she was lashing out at the biggest and most ferocious-looking of the sharks, muscular tentacles wrapping around the mighty beast as she pulled, hard, around its midsection and head, tough shark skin ripping as blood leaked into the water. Still alive, she thought fiercely. Good. Maybe that'll get their attention. "Hey! Toothy McGee! I've got your blood right here!" she shouted under the water. Just as she'd hoped, some of the sharks broke from their pursuit of civilians to attack the great white, though what she hadn't planned was on them attacking her. She hissed in pain as teeth closed on her arms, her bizarre mixture of octopus and human blood spilling into the water to further fuel the feeding frenzy. Spit! Some of them are still going!" Despite temptation, she burst from the sharks attacking her and rocketed towards those assaulting the beach, whipping the battered shark she still carried around like a club. Hah! Tentacle beats tooth!

OK, that's Transform 9 (inanimate to inanimate), which Mark is using to walk around and fix everything. Except James' car, which is too big for him to affect without powerstunting.
-
Inside the ballrom, Mark gratefully focused on the opportunity to actually do something useful by Alex. "Okay, on it!" he called. Concentrating on the room around him, Mark closed his eyes and said, "Everyone hang on, I'm going to fix everything!" And with that he began to do just that, or at least as much as his power allowed, walking back and forth as tendrils of inky black energy came from nowhere, passing over broken floors and tables, reshaping everything into its original, unbroken state. Except, of course, for the still-smouldering remains of James' car.

She's going to use Damage. Assuming a full Power Attack, that's DC 30 Tou. She's doing non-lethal, but she is trying to make it bleed.

"Phantom, Dark Star, Fleur, you should get back to where we started. Will discuss everything there, with...you-know-who." Avenger hmmed, staring off into space for a moment. "Best to cover our tracks against magical detection." He pointed to Erik. "Suggest you either keep your mouth closed or leave the immediate area." He started counting down out loud, ticking quietly on his fingers. "Thirty...twenty-nine..."
-
At that moment, there was a knock on Gossamer's window. Turning to look, the people inside saw an angel flying outside, a city street map clutched in his hand. "Hello!" Freedom Angel called through the window, not recognizing any of the heroes inside. "Is this 2B? Or 2A? I'm here for the auditions." Even on the hot day with the air running, his voice was clearly audible through the glass: Heyzel had a loud voice!
-
Hmm, I'll probably need that HP for later. So I'll go for grapple now.
-
Fusion activates the Swimming portion of her Super-Movement. She can move five hundred feet in a move action, so she can easily move in amongst the sharks and engage them in melee. She hits the Great White with an All-Out Attack, dropping her own Defense to +5. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2600253/20. Not a great roll, but not an awful one. DC 25 Tou save for the Shark. If I remember the grapple rules right, she can initiate a grapple at this juncture. Using all her tentacles, with her array set to Super-Strength 4, and with the All-Out Attack, her grapple is +32. 34. OK, let me know how she did, and I'll write it up.
-
13 Hmm. Her Dex mod is +1.
