ic Meanwhile at the stately Summers Manor...
Tiffany Korta replied to Tiffany Korta's topic in North Bay
Calliope Summers Calliope looked over at the younger her and gave a sad smile. “She is me but before everything that happened that made me who I am today, for good or ill.” she paused and thought for a few seconds and added. “I know its better if she knows who her grandfather is and what happened to mom, she must know when she died but it not real to her yet. Its not logical but I’d like her to have that innocence for a little while longer. I will tell her but not right now, I can stop either of you doing it but I’d asked if you can respect my wishes.”- 47 replies

Maggie Què Maggie smiled despite lugging the cases around, showing all the natural charm she inherited from her family. “Thats quite a mouthful of a name!” she grinned “And thats not an American accent what so ever. Is that one of those weird Welsh names? Its hard for a simple girl from Queens to tell.” she dropped into one of those traditional New York accents you tended to hear in TV and movies She could almost feel Callie’s eye on her but tried to ignore them, for now she was trying to be on her best behaviour.

Madame Raven Without really thinking about it Callie caught the ball, she was trying to keep an eye on Maggie who’d she had a run in a week or so ago. Only when she glance back did she realise what she’d done and looking at the expectant face, one happy beaming face in particular, and worked out what this was about. “Oh I’m Callie Sen from New York, as strange as it might be I don’t have any powers. Just managed to make myself a suit and go out and beat bad guys.” She gave the ball a little toss to towards the other girls not looking to pick out one girls in particular.

Like everyone in the world superheroes have to deal with the world of social media, being both incredibly popular and most private makes it a very fine line for a superhero to walk especially when they’re well know enough to be an influence (but not normally influencer) for the populous. So how does your hero deal with social media? Give us an example of there experience with social media, some examples being: Media written about fan on the heroes, thread posts, tweets or even fan fic about the hero (though not the really racy stuff). Interactions between the heroes and fans in some form of AMAs, or heroes trying to fool people to stop smart fans discovering something about them. Reactions of heroes to any media produced by others about them, maybe someone TikTok claiming that moustache is totally CGI’d or maybe they’ve gone one Ao3 and found that really racy fan fic about them… Mentions of supposed interaction with NPC, heroes and villains, but if you want to include a PCs character make sure to get there permission first. Or if you’re one of those old people then you can talk about traditional media, those failed TV pilots and “tell-all” books, or a mix of new and classic media as needed. And we all know that the Internet can get a little dark and sweary but remember to keep thinks within the sites guidelines and keep things PG-13. These Social Media gems should be posted no later than the 31st October 2020. (As a reminder, vignettes follow the same general rules as posts in terms of content, player character limits, and so on. You may have only one vignette per player character. Each vignette should be at least one page (~500 words) in length; if posted in your thread counts at the end of the month, it is worth 1pp for the associated character. An especially long vignette, 1000 words or more, may be worth up to 2pp. Multiple players can collaborate on a single vignette - we recommend Google Docs for this, it's very useful - but the vignette should be about one page per participating player.)

Maggie Què Maggie was really trying to be on her best behavior, she didn’t want to screw this good deal as there was no way her mom could afford a place like this. But the other girls on this floor really weren’t making this any easier, she was tempted to relieve them of all the stuff they had but again she was trying to be on her best behaviour. Dee’s arrival gave her something she understood and could help with, without thinking about it she blinked to beside the older woman. “Hello Ma’am do you need any help here?”

Madame Raven Callie had spent a while keeping out of the way of everyone getting ready by sitting on the roof. She’d been spending her time scrubbing any geodata from a video she’d taken of her swinging among the rooftops of Freedom City, she always enjoyed her subscribes figuring out where she was but she didn’t want them, or more importantly any villains, to work out where she was right now. It wasn’t easy because all these sites seemed so keen to gather just the kind of information she didn’t want to share. Noticing that people seemed to be arriving she swung down into one of the windows away from the common room, she didn’t want to cause a fuss and settle in quietly. Unfortunately she’d not counted on the other students doing there own thing, including some people she’d met before. She was tempted to just stroll pass to the common, but that would mean dealing with Maggie, who she and Nevermore had tussled with recently and there might still be some bad blood still. “I see you are as welcoming as ever Judy!” she gave a little nod to Ashley as well

Kord Dorms, Floor Four, Claremont Academy Saturday, September 5th 2020 In the floors common area a young woman waited for some of the newcomers to arrive and help them get settled into there new rooms. Having only recently arrive here herself, forced here from New York after engaging in activity considered, questionable, the Headmistress had insisted she get settled in before the other arrived to avoid to many questions. In these circumstance it was easy to be bitter and refuse to get involved with the school, but she’d decided instead to be as helpful as she could. A little nervous she tucked a strand of white streaked hair behind her ear. “Hello there I’m Maggie Què, welcome to your dorm floor.”

Emerald Spider Emerald Spider came to rest on a near by flag pool, maybe deliberately placing herself above the Ultio Suits. “Maybe we can share the point with you, I’ve always want a MARS Beanie cap. Do you have a catalogue… you do don’t you?” She paused not quite laughing but feeling a little smug, she didn’t bemoan them trying to help but this time they were more a hindrance than a help. And she had to admit she had a complicated relationship with MARS Corp “Let’s help the cops get everyone back to where they need to be, then you can look at the footage and determine who gets the win.”

The obvious thing here is do the classic boot on the vial type shot! Do I need to role and can I reserve some action whilst we (hopefully) negotiate over this.

Zhenshchina-voin “What if it wasn’t what if he’s the cost for your digital utopia? Would you be happy to be uploaded without knowing someone, however bad, was under going torture for you?” She softened her face a little she didn’t want to deny anyone the chance to find there own homeland, she’d been born into one after one. “Lets find out what and how they are doing this, then we can discuss the ethics and morals of what they’re doing here. If this is one the level I will happily recommend all the support that we can offer to this new nation. Can’t say fairer than that now can we?”

GM Post Then nothing happened, and then that nothing had a young woman standing at the crossroads. She was Hispanic or Mediterranean appearing but her skin was so pale to shine in the moonlight, half of her bob was dyed black the rest of white, or maybe vice versa and as she moved her head different amount of light and dark flashed around her. She was dressed in a fairly gothy style all black with and festooned in jewelry all silver and moonstones. She also for a few minutes was apparently checking her phone, finally looking up at the two. “So you did!” she had one of those unplaceable accents “As the gentleman has apparently bought me flower let him explain why you’ve bought me here.” she had one of those look that you saw on cat pretending not to interested in there prey “She may not look like much…” Betsy risked leaning to whisper into his ear “That there is Hecate and I might have once called her up over girlfriend trouble. So be polite and very careful.”

The Immutable Betsy Brooks A couple of minutes to midnight a pickup truck pulled up and Betsy gave the driver a peck on the cheek before climbing out and collecting a large black dog, some kind of German Sheppard mix. She waved and strolled over the dog following behind before sitting between the two of them. “This is Barnabas he’ll be our guide for this trip. I picked him up at an ethical shelter, his poor old owner couldn’t look after him alas.” she thrust a big bunch of Lavender into his hands, trying to distract as she added “Your little super club might have made a generous donation to the place, y’all should be careful about leaving that kind of stuff laying around.” She got out of her jacket pocket a scrap of paper with some words scrawled in a rough hand writing “Normally this would be a full ritual but we’re on a bit of a time crunch here, so I’m going for the short version. I had it translated at that amazing Greek restaurant, I recommend giving it a visit. When we get back!” She glanced again at the paper before speaking “Γεια Ἑκάτη θα μπορούσαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε μια χάρη εδώ, αγόρασα ακόμη και τα αγαπημένα σας.”

Zhenshchina-voin Klara pulled herself up to her full height and glared at the young robot woman, she was older than everyone here and unfortunately seen this kind of thing far to many times before. “I agree that robots should be respected and treated as equals, and if they wish there own homeland then I support it and will endorse it where I can. But it cannot start by committing the same sins as the humans that spawn them. He has committed crimes, both robot and human, and should be rehabilitated, but if this how you wish your utopia to start then we have a problem.” She took a step forward, distancing herself from the rest of Vanguard, she didn’t want to force them into a fight unless they wanted. “I have fought and helped topple tyrants, those that would judge me on who I choose to love, and if need be I will tear down this place myself to stop it falling to such evils.”

Winnie Napier Winnie came to rearrange the table to cover up Ashley’s disruption of her well laid out table, mussing to the younger hero as she did “I don’t know about you but I miss having to looked after my ward, even if she was often a pain in my tush. A tush I’ll have you know look amazing in hot pants.” she grinned “Still if I’d stayed in the Feds I wouldn’t be here right now, and I guess I can’t go back right now what with it being far to complex.” Madame Raven Callie smiled at Ashley, hardwired by now to be a good host. “Hi I’m Callie, and until the birthday girl turns up I guess this is my party.” after a moments consideration she went for air kisses as a greeting that for some reason made her teeth tingle. “You know you do look familiar, I’m sure I came across you in an image whilst I was catching up on my history. Some kind of family picture I’m pretty sure.” for a moment she had that intense Summer’s look, before dismissing it with a shrug “No worries though, this is a room full of people with there own secrets and stories to tell.”

Ms Bright With a satisfying crunch Agnes was free of the hold and free to act again, but she was also awfully aware that they were just delaying her whilst the preacher did something nefarious. And it was something she needed to sort out as quickly as she could. So dropping down she quickly looked for the weakest point in the room and got into position. “This is the last chance for you all to stop this, or I’ll bringing this place down around us all!” She then struck the ground with all her might, sending a shockwave through the ground, she didn’t want to bury them all just knock them off there feet but hopefully it would make them more cautious around her.
-
Ms Bright Agnes’s first instinct was to chase down the gangsters and give them such a beating that they’d would think again before doing it again. But then glancing up she caught the potential tragedy with a surging crowd towards the barricade, at heart she was still a hero and she wasn’t going to let people get hurt if she could help it. Concentrating she pulled up all dregs of her powers, calling up memories that weren’t her own, past uses of her powers bubbling to the surface. For a second she felt like she knew who she was, and she was someone else. Then she opened her eyes a put out a hand pulling out all the power she had. With a faint glittering in the air a massive teleport portal formed between the crowd and the police, that would if things went bad teleport them harmlessly several streets away.

It should have enough radius to catch 'em all.

In that case I'll spend the PP to get Groundstrike off of her Super-Strength. Ground Strike: 1d20+7 20 , if you'll allow it also +14 for her Super-Strength.
-
Spend an PP to use her regular Teleport to throw a teleport portal between the cops and the crowd, as discussed in chat I'm thinking Teleport 2 (Extra: Portal, Feat: Progression 2) [10PP]

Zhenshchina-voin Klara offered a hand to help there fellow hero back to her feet, and generally reassure her that things would be okay. Whilst she’d lived around magic for a few centuries she’d never studied the arts, she was always a warrior at heart. But she’d picked up a few things through her life, though not enough to be anything near an expert. “Magic is all about applying your will on the universe, and a robot can have just as much will as anyone else. Things like this take a lot of power though, hopefully they’re not using the really bad stuff.” She looked up at Eira the best person she could see to know where everything was arranged. “What do you think Eira? If they did such a thing where would they be keeping it?”

The Immutable Betsy Brooks With one more gulp of whisky Betsy got up and pulled on her lucky, an only, jacket. As she did Betsy thought through her thoughts on how to proceed, however sure she sounded she was (mostly) always winging it. “Best not to use your boy, he’s a little capricious on the best of days and this might his deal. So we’re going to have to deal with another deity, unless you have a speedster on speed dial?” she paused and grinned before going back to her thoughts “Going to need an intermediary, I figure a Black Shuck will do, guess I’m getting a puppy now…” she turned and looked at Marcus looking pretty confident, however untrue that might be. “I’m going to need to gather some supplies, so I suggest you grab yourself a nice suit and a hat whilst I change my jumper! Best you blend in and I’ll be the distraction. Meet me at the crossroads of Wein and Wrightson just before midnight.”
