  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. "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..."
  6. 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!
  7. Hmm, I'll probably need that HP for later. So I'll go for grapple now.
  8. 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.
  9. 13 Hmm. Her Dex mod is +1.
  10. "Oh my sweet Lord," Joan breathed. Any ambitions she might have had of waiting for other heroes to arrive, much less the police, died when she saw the horrors down below. Unbidden, she remembered the tank at the Portland Aquarium, the horror of feeling her bones slowly beginning to dissolve inside mutating flesh..."Tony," she said peremptorily to the chopper pilot, "you need to set me down and switch over to medevac. Don't try and be a hero; stay away from the ocean. Just get people off that beach before those things start coming to shore! Put me down there," she said, "behind the lifeguard station! I know it's tough, but sometimes you've gotta be part of the story!" It took some work to persuade the chopper pilot of that, but within seconds he'd set Joan down, awkward, cumbersome dress and all, and then taken to the skies again, his cameras recording everything to go in later articles. As he disappeared, Joan ducked behind the shelter of the empty lifeguard stand, the screams of terrified people in her ears, as the morphic molecules of her dress warped and shifted around her, pulling down into the skintight, heavily armored costume of Fusion! When her mask closed over her face, she ran for the water faster than any human could, running _past_ the fleeing, screaming civilians as she leapt and dived into the water, her long, muscular tentacles already whipping around her body as she blasted seawater out powerful jets on her midsection, propelling her towards the sharks at fantastic speed!
  11. Joan caught the radio broadcast at her desk at the Ledger, cocking her head as she heard the terrified screams coming through the radio report. The beach! Sweet Lord, it's ninety degrees on a summer Saturday! It'll be swarming with kids! Jumping to her feet as Fletch Beaumont strode out to dispatch someone to cover the emergency, she yelled, "Fletcher! I'm on this one!" She'd earned the right to call her boss by his first name in the wake of the fallout after the incident with the Scarab. "I need Tony to fly the chopper out there!"
  12. Ozoe, I'm concerned about this character. Her backstory is considerably more melodramatically tragic than we like for characters on this site, and her personality doesn't sound like something that'll integrate well into our social structure. What can you do to make her sociable enough that other people will want to interact with her?
  13. Jack nodded at Taylor and strode up to his son, letting his trust in Taylor propel him down a road all his senses told him was insane. "" he instructed the other man. ""
  14. I would say people who turn into Bee-People take a big Wisdom and Charisma hit (in general, becoming more drone-like) and use those points to buy themselves a lovely set of shimmery bee wings, with maybe a stinger to go with them. Maybe losing the ability to speak in words? He cannot actually control bees, merely speak to them in their native language. And remember, the Modern Age Bee-Keeper is the successor to the Silver Age version, having secured rights to the identity after a personal interview.
  15. Suddenly, everything was happening at once! Mark smiled with relief when Mike stopped his rampage, glad that everything had turned out OK, before suddenly a car appeared in a flash of light and came tumbling down at him. Before he could react, Mike threw himself in front of the car and took the full impact, saving Mark from what would surely have been a painful, unpleasant injury. "Holy cow! Isn't that Eddie's car?" Mark scratched his head. "Someone must have tossed it here. Mike, you okay?"
  16. Avenger stared his near-doppleganger down with intensity, his hands balling into fists as the arch-predator stared at his arch-rival. "Don't you talk to her that way," the words ground out, falling back on a pattern he didn't even know he had. Time to see if the other man there would fall into the same routine. Easiest way to catch a lie. As it happened, he found himself sounding a great deal like his own father. "Your purpose here?"
  17. Mark spends one of his HP as a reaction: quote, reroll that attack roll and take the worst of two rolls!
  18. At that moment, just a few feet away, the walls between the worlds bent open just a crack, disgorging forth Fleur de Joie, the green guardian of growing things, Dark Star, the cosmic champion of space, Phantom, the chosen of Heshem and guardian of the dimensions, and Avenger, the grim and gritty vigilante, on the same rooftop as Jack of all Blades and the strange man who'd been running around wearing Avenger's old mask. It was getting to be a very crowded night.
  19. "He...he what?" Avenger studied the mirror, as ever catching not even a glimpse of his reflection there. "And with what's his name no less...." Unable to believe what he was thinking, as ever, he picked action. Stopping just long enough to pull his costume on, he barked, "Quick! We must go! Take everybody! And with that, Avenger and everyone else disappeared as Phantom hurled them through the Void to the West End, appearing in a whisper on a rooftop by Jack of all Blades and the man in the Avenger mask.
  20. DC 28 Tou save if I can use my new sheet; 27 if not.
  21. "It's an evil robot!" Mark boomed. "But we'll soon deal with that!" He concentrated on the robot, its internal components collapsing more and more as the sheer power of bad luck poured through its every inner working. "You can't handle the power of the Breakdown of music and the Edge of reason!" Mark shouted, pointing his finger at the bad, bad robot.
  22. "I'm okay, really," said Mark, who'd decided to stay quiet and let other people's conversation go over his head, but he wasn't so annoyingly humble as to actually turn away Alex's healing. He sat up and looked around. "I could see everything. I really could, I could see and understand the whole universe, my life, the world, everything. I've never felt such a deep connection to the very nature of reality. For the first time in my life, I completely understood myself. And now it's gone." He paused a beat, then exclaimed, "So did we do it? Is it celebration time now? Young Freedom for life, right?"
  23. Mark stands as a move action Kisses Zarana as a free action Moves to stand between Mike and James Spend an HP to acquire Interpose And talks as a free action.
  24. Mark checked on his battered date and pulled himself to his feet. "I'll be right back," he promised Zarana, stealing a quick kiss before running pell-mell to the confrontation between Mike and James. Just as Mike tossed Erin aside, Mark ran between Mike and James. He didn't hesitate a fraction: instead he ripped open his tux and white shirt, sending buttons flying everywhere as he exposed his fragile pink torso to Mike's fists. "You gonna hit me too, Mike?" he asked, disappointment in his eyes. "I'm not as tough as Erin, but I'm still going to put myself in front of your fists before you do something you'll regret later."
  25. Mark spends an HP on Erin's behalf to clear her stun.
