The Immutable Betsy Brooks Betsy might mess around when appropriate but this was something else so she quietly listened to Cheval’s admissions with suitable nods when needed. “There are things that can strip the soul from a body drain it just like a juice box, but they also tend to be a big deal. I’ve got some contacts in the supernatural community, and I suspect that they’d heard of a beast like that.” She thought for a few minutes before adding. “Looks like this bugger needs looking into, and as I’m not officially on the team I can have a poke around and see what I’ve found.”

Emerald Spider Finally satisfied that she’d secured Metamind for now Emerald Spider decided to swap targets, swinging around a little to get the feel for the who or what she could reach. It was a little obvious as to who to attack next I mean who didn’t want to fight a dinosaur man, and besides they were the closest target. At the top of her swing she banished her quantum line and instead made the hand movements to release a series of quantum bolts towards her foe, before engaging her quantum line again. She’d done it so many time she didn’t appreciate the skill which it took. Or to a point, she must have misjudged things just a smidgen as the bolt went wide.

Ms Bright Agnes was having fun, fighting like this was always satisfying and it helped that the opponent was a bit of a dick. “Bit weird that I’m complete trash but can kick your skinny white arse. Maybe when the bruises finally go down you’ll reconsider your whole stance on this, though I’m going to have to keep pummelling you right now on principle.” She lined up another punch, she was aware that it was a limited palette but it seemed to work so well in these kind of situations.

Ms Bright's Attack Roll: 1d20+7 27

Sorry about that, will get the baby AI to life soon. In the mean time if you want to post assume the machine is still compiling for a bit.

Reflex Save Reflex Save: 1d20+7 16, scrapped by! And lets punch back Attack Roll: 1d20+7 14, lets use one of those HP finally Attack Roll: 1d20+7 16.

This time of year is one for wishes for the year ahead so in honor of this for our latest vignette were looking for the wishes and desires of the heroes of any of the cities, and beyond. You have three choices to base the vignette on, all themed more or less on wishes: Family Wishes This time of year you want obviously want to spend it with friends or family, things can go good or bad as most family gathering do. Mask a Wish Your hero gets to help out a fan for the day, it can be tragic or uplifting as things often are this time of year. Wish for a Wonderful Life? A pesky imp show your what would happen if you didn’t exist or didn’t take up the mantle of a hero. Things could be better or worse obviously. Please post them here by January 31st 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. )

Emerald Spider 3 posts = 1PP Emerald City Showdown (1) Monster of the Week (2) Merge Trois 4 + 6 (GM Posts) = 10 posts = 2PP + 1PP (Ref Point) = 3PP Bedlam Burning: Beauty and the Beasts (1) Bedlam Burning: The Quiet Place (2) Kingmaker: Checkmate (1) Ms Bright 2 posts = 1PP A Different Kind of Justice (2) The Immutable Betsy Brooks 1 posts = 1PP Vibora Bay - Rough Draft (1) Valkyrja 1 post = 1PP Not all Fun and Games (1) White Lioness 1 posts = 1PP Rainbow Connection (1) GMing 3 x 2 = 6 posts Bedlam Burning: Beauty and the Beasts (2) Tech Compliance (1)

Nicki Dee Nicki was almost exasperated by this violent child desire to create bedlam in well Bedlam. At least the priests seemed to have some common sense about him. Though she really wished she’d had a chance to do this with just the two of her. “I agree plugging the Padre in front of his house keeper is not a good idea in the slightest! Our best bet is to split up and double our chances, this shifter need to keep the original around so if the two of you check out the basement or crypt or whatever he has under his pantry.” It wasn’t much of a plan, but it was the only one they really had.

GM Post The gang member look the two of them down for a moment before giving a rather uncomfortable grin at Merge. “Yeah you go have your fun old man, if you need something to help out you see our guys and they’ll sort you out.” He step aside and gestured to the center of the part where it was obvious that a group gathered there. The rest of the part looked perfectly normal and very clean and tidy, obviously they encourage the locals to keep the park pristine compared to the run down nature of the rest of the district.

The Immutable Betsy Brooks Betsy took her time and finished her second, or was it third? Cup of coffee before taking her feet off of the table and made her way over to Cheval. “Okay big man, what do you have for me?” She did have respect for the guy, having heard rumours of his exploits as she travelled around this city dealing with it’s supernatural citizens. “Don’t forget that card as well, as long as I’m not to hung over to answer obviously.” she grinned at this, she could manage pretty well through up to the most serious headache.

Merge Trois Merge was fashionably late as should be expected for one such as her, and already it seemed that there were two of them the second with her helmet down and ready already. In fact it was Nicki something the two of them had thought about for a bit as even with the increase in her telepathic power the moon was definitely a little to far for the two of them to coordinate. It meant a rare day off from the Bookshops, but it was worth the sacrifice and besides she had plenty of holidays tucked away. “Sorry I’m a little late, it hell to get a spacesuit at this time of year!”

GM Post Headmistress Summers didn’t say anything to the poor new intern, obviously waiting to see what Valeria would do next. With an intake of breath of sooth her nerves she quickly scanned around to see what they had in mind, she was after all a skilled gadgeteer herself. “Let’s not go and create a singularity of wither kind on the first day, that’s more a second lesson kind of thing! And we have better laboratories to handle potential problems, the schools been blown up enough already without us helping!” she gave a little nervous grin at her bad joke “Give me an assessment of the facilities you’ll need to do your projects safely and we’ll see what we can do. With the Headmistress around...” As she said that she just knew that she’d disappeared from the room, which seemed to be a family tradition.

VALKYRJA The Valkyrie smiled a sly smile, the foul villain revealing his hand in his arrogance something she’d seen many time with many foolish men. And not to many women she always noted with some glee. “YOU ARE MISTAKEN FOR I HAVE A WAY THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OFF!” She put her fingers to her lips and gave a loud whistle for Frárvængr, the stairs wouldn‘t be a problem after all what with the Pegasuses natural abilities. “FOR YOU WELL BEFORE SUCH TOYS EXISTED MY TRUSTY STEED COULD TRAVEL BETWEEN WORLDS“

Emerald Spider will attack the nearest foe with her Spdr blast Attack Roll: 1d20+10 12, yeah not her best day...

Ms Bright The initial punch must have made her a touch over confident as her follow on attacks were in no way as effect. She cursed softly to herself as she tried to refocus herself for a much better strike, taking a moment as it seemed that her opponent was recovering herself. “Look you might be a massive bitch, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still work together. Or we can punch it out for a few minutes, as that's always a fun option...” It was a long shot, in a day of long shots, but it never hurt to try and you never knew.

Follow, follow up punchin' Attack Roll: 1d20+7 13, well it's slowly creeping up...

Emerald Spider Whist her ally went low Emerald Spider went high, reaching the places that others couldn’t teach on foot. It helped that she could now scale walls without any real thought, it was sometimes strange how normal all this felt really. Scouting things out she thought she’d found an easy way to get into the warehouse, easy for her anyhow. “I think I see a way in, if you want I can drop you a line and bring you up?” By now she had a pretty good idea of what weight the quantum filament could take and it looked to be well within her capacities.

Madame Raven Power Level: 10/14 (213/213PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: ±X Attack / ±X Damage, ±X Defense / ±X Toughness (or "None") In Brief: 1-2 sentences which sum up the whole character. Catchphrase: Theme: You're Dead by Norma Tanega Alternate Identity: Calliope "Callie" Sen (Public) Calliope "Callie" Summers (Secret) Birthplace: Hong Kong Residence: Summers Building, New York Base of Operations: Worldwide Occupation: Businesswoman Affiliations: Raven Family Family: Doctor Sin (Grandfather), Duncan Summers (Father), Jasmine Sin (Mother), Callie Summers (Possible future self) Description: Age: 20 (DoB: 24th August 1973 [Time Displaced]) Gender: Female Ethnicity: Asian / European mix Height: 1.702m (5'7") Weight: 50kg (110 lbs) Eyes: Green Hair: Black Callie has inherited her beauty from her mother, though often marred by the scowl of her father. Even with a few more years under her belt, she looks more like her duplicate, though there are still enough differences that they get away as relatives. She keeps her hair relatively short, both to differentiate herself from her duplicate and so that it can't become disadvantageous in a fight. When in public as a wealthy businesswoman, woman she dresses in the most stylish clothes that always perfectly suit the occasion, still ethically sourced and environmentally sustainable, in private though she prefers loose fitting comfortable t-shirts and sweats. Though still in its early stages, her Raven costume is far from the homemade costume she wore at Claremont. Made of tough yet light high-tech polymers the black suits offer maximum protection, the cloak is particularly impressive appearing like a simple cloth cloak it can harden at will allowing Callie to use it as a weapon in a fight. It's also covered in scalloped cloth feathers that can be plucked and thrown becoming the family's signature Raven-like boomerangs. They even regenerate meaning they will rarely run out, and the cloak always looks good, though with extended use the cloak will appear shorter than it was originally. To make herself stand out from the other Ravens, and despite the potential risk she doesn't wear a cowl, just covering her mouth and wearing a domino mask to avoid giving away her identity. History: Plucked from time by unknown methods, just before the fateful day she was meant to find out about her superhero legacy, Callie never had time to worry about her future. She had been busy with school and learning, and enjoying, what it was like to be a superhero. And despite the unusual circumstances, the extended Raven Family accepted her as one of her own, especially warmly considering their reputation as being cool brooding loners. She finally took official control of Summer's Advanced Dynamics, finally cleaning up the worst of its dubious activities, and turning it into a profitable company dealing in environmentally conscious products.

So I'm thinking we go a Christmas / New Year themed vignette for December/January, anyone have any ideas?

Emerald's Spiders Search: 1d20+15 34

White Lioness Despite what some would except Àjàṣorò had taken part in the democratic progress, but never being one of the candidates and it was something she was finding fascinating. She hadn’t expected to win, in her mind she was just making up the numbers, so could some what enjoy the progress. She had the responsibility as the White Lioness after all, and she wouldn’t want to do do a half decent job at anything as important as this. “Congratulations, I know you’ll do well.” she honestly told Abby, they weren’t close but she was a pretty good judge of people “I’m not sure I can commit to any other position but if you need any help don’t hesitate to ask me for help. Though I’m sure that applies to any of us here.”

Ms Bright Bright was a brawler so she didn’t spend any time congratulating herself, instead setting herself back up for the next blow. “I’m going to do much more than just touch you, if you don’t back down I’m going to give you the beating of your live.” A little bravado, but the best fight was one when you’d enemy didn’t want to fight. And now that she’d hit the irritating woman she would have her guard up that little bit more. Still she tried to get in another hit before the woman regained enough sense to strike back.

Her follow up Attack Roll: 1d20+7 12, probably not as good...

Merge Trois and Nicki Dee The friendlier looking of the two, Nicki in this case, spoke first as she began to explain what they knew. “The truth is that we are from Freedom, but I’m not a reporter. This was just the easiest way to get to talk to the Padre.” “Let’s just cut to the chase he’s not the real Padre.” Merge added a little curt “I was getting to that! We found out that someone here is trying to buy out and sell this area to Freedom City investors, but the Padre was the big holdout making the local resist the offers.” “So they’ve replaced him with some sort of mimic, that why he’s apparently been so off.”
