OoC for this.

Nicki Dee Nicki had to admit that St Romuald was an impressive structure, in a rather bland town that reminded her of Lincoln turned up to eleven. Truth be told she wouldn’t have be here if she wasn’t following a trail that led from Freedom City to here. She’d already had some success but this was the final piece to try and find out who was behind this plan. Merge Trois Whist Nicki went in through the front door a Merge was sneaking around the back in what passed for subtle in her mind, a black catsuit with a zipped low an her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail a black stripe down the middle and another around the middle of the ponytail.

St. Romuald’s, Hardwick Park 10:00am, Tuesday, 23rd July 2019 In an area known for the dominance of one gang it was rare to find a place that managed to remain neutral, though no one would dare speak out, and until recently St Romuald had been known as neutral ground. Padre Miguel was a bear of a man who few would dare tussle with. That was until recently when suddenly and without rhyme or reason he began to subtly, and not so subtly, change. With everyone concerned about the other problems going on around Hardwick Park very few were paying any attention, but there were a few that were paying attention...

Right let's start with Mister Strix and Dead Head getting to close to the fire in Bedlam Burning: Beauty and the Beasts. I'm going to retool things to be a little closer to street level for Wadjet and Judex,\will take me a day or so but we'll get there I promise.

OoC for the IC here. No rolls needed for now just a chance for the three to meet up.

Merge Trois The last site was still smoldering after burning for a couple of days, the Fire Department had made a token effort before leaving the place to it’s fate. Across the street Merge was watching the building getting ready to go investigate the scheme. She’d was not exactly looking to blend in, dressed in a large puffy jacket over a rather short dress with a pair of platform boots, totally unsuitable for searching a burning wreck. Her hair was tied up into pigtails the tips dyed red with a band of yellow around it. She made one more look around before crossing the street, though she wasn’t worried it wasn’t like anyone else was going to show up tonight...

Gilbert Ave, Hardwick Park 21:00 22nd July 2019 For the last few weeks Hardwick had been burning, and arsonist setting abandoned building of the area alight. Luck rather than skill had mean than no one's homes had been threatened. But as the weeks had gone by, and Bedlam police showed little interest in investigating, the person(s) involved had become bolder. Even the local gangs seemed to be unable to halt them. Apart from the locals no one seemed to be interested in investigating the fires, though perceptions can be deceiving. Bedlam might not have many heroes, but there were a few around and they tried their best to do there part.

So I've noticed that Merge is low enough to get into Bedlam, so it seems a good enough opportunity to try something out. I'm thinking two threads, with a couple of people each, that looks at the general (mortal) corruption. One will be street level around a series of strange fires in one of the poor districts of the city, the other will involve the upper echelons of the people running Bedlam. The first part is more traditional, whilst the second will involve a little undercover work. Both will be around the same time, so I'm afraid you won't be able to do both. Anyone interested?

Doctor Rosa Thorne As Liam kneeled down his features shifted until Rosa was once again in control, by now she more or less trusted Strix but it didn’t hurt to check on the man’s health. Medicine wasn’t really her thing, but she’d trained herself to a high level to be able to assess potential victims health at a glance. “Liam has this thing about following a case to it’s messy end, and in this case I’m inclined to agree with him! Though we need to know everything that's going on so we can come up with a decent plan.”

Doctor Rosa Thorne Rosa had studied magic in its various forms for a decade or more, but Bedlam wasn’t exactly the kind of place you saw the best of magical practitioners. But here she could see about half a dozen differing magical styles existing side by side, more or less, peacefully. Hovering around the tables of food, running from gangsters didn’t exactly give you time for breakfast, she watched the various mages bicker. It would be a little gauche to actually make notes, so for now she kept things to herself.

White Lioness This was obviously a very serious thing, or at least the school would think so, and she should have just stood there and waiting to be taken back to Claremont. But this might be her only chance to meet Wail, after all she might be grounded for the rest of the year at least.And there the disappointment in her mother's voice when the school told her what they down. She quickly caught up with Danica, it was little that tale of the hare and the tortoise, so she slowed her pace to match that of her friend. And if both of them met him well then they had to share the trouble. Which seem appropriate for the day they’d had.

White Lioness You wouldn’t think she would be but Àjàṣorò was a little bit star struck with Ace, the others were her contemporaries and school mates, but he was a bonafide Pulp hero. All she could do was smile weakly at the man, in some way she felt lucky that she was jumping from this plane. She didn’t bother with a chute, the suit was designed with a series of baffles and adsorbing dakana crystals. She dived down quickly before splaying out her arms and legs the suit forming a wingsuit allowing her to control her landing to a greater extent. At the last moment she snapped the suit back into its normal form, rolling across the ground to come up in a ready pose.

White Lioness Àjàṣorò gave a wry little smile “Well that's a shame! Still I guess we do have a job to do here!” as she did she took Janus’s arm, getting suitably good and snuggled up for a couple enjoying the city. Turned her head to look back at her brother and added with a hint of sarcasm. “I’m sure your be more than ready to be shocked to find to sister in such a situation, if we run into potential trouble.” She was already thinking of potential problems that they could come across, as they were looking for people out to cause them trouble.

White Lioness Àjàṣorò watched the building go by and the attention of the locals, it was weird after the anonymity of her time in the States. Still she was the White Lioness and she wasn’t going to be worried about such things, with a smile she mused that some of her tutors work had sunk in after all. “Well we know that the crowd are here to see the children of the King...” she mused, “Maybe we could distract them whilst others poked around?” She looked back at the two Dangers and give a friendly smile “Unless you have a better idea? I’m not going to throw my weight around and not listern to good ideas.”

Music of the sphere's man! Rosa magic is really quite right now, but it's two overlapping song that are slightly dis-harmonic at points but somehow complement each other perfectly.

Doctor Rosa Thorne As the other magic user's cast their spell Liam shifted back to Rosa to aid in the ritual as well, she cast sigils in the air to help channel and hopefully boost the effectiveness of the ritual. She couldn’t help but feel that the others were doing all the heavy lifting but it was important that she at least tried to give a hand. Once the magic was done her focus was again on the source of the Ink, she needed to make sure the problem was actually completely contained. There was a smidgen of guilt how easily she was use to Strix feeding, but only for a second the mystery took up far more of her attention.

So now all we need is there next team up!

GM Post Sitting so near the border of Dakana Utando wa Buibui was still made to look like a traditional town from the area. But as you got beyond the outskirts of the town the more modern stylings began to show up. Though the royal family was normally quite friendly to other, this far out visits were rare enough to get the odd looks from the inhabitants of the town. It was pretty obvious that the information would get back to the elders of the Clan and they could expect a welcome committee. They teens probably had a few minutes before they’d have to act in a more official capacity.

Doctor Rosa Thorne It had to happen eventually, they’d push the Russians gangster until he’d decided to deal with the agency one at a time, not that they’d be able to though it wasn’t something they could explain to the hired gunmen that they were currently avoiding. Hiding up in a room of an isolated warehouse there own way to escape in one piece was to use Rosa’ magical knowledge. I know it’ll take as long as it takes, but some speed might be in order. As if on cue the secured door to the room began to rattle I’m not sure but something wrong with the circle, the sigils are coming out all different... Looking down at the circle she finally saw what the letters spelled out, she wondered if it was her or the magic that made her use such symbols. We might be going a little further than we wanted, but we’ll be as safe as you can expect. As the circle activated things began to spin and she felt the power that bound her to Bedlam was overcome but a much more powerful magic. Quickly recovering from the trip Rosa looked around to get a feel for where they’d arrived, noticing at least one person she’d met before. “Well this isn’t going to be awkward!”

Bee Melisa couldn’t help but give a little excited clap at the names, she was such a science gek at time. Not that she was particularly bothered about this fact. “Ooh are you powers all based on ionized plasma? Because you see the corona of the sun is the ejection of plasma from the surface, temperatures in the order millions of Kelvins though I’m sure yours are much cooler. It’s not my field of study but its all really fascinating!” She stopped and looked a little sheepish at the other heroes “Sorry I get a little carried away at times, we should probably go and investigate stuff.”

Doctor Rosa Thorne Rosa couldn’t help but smile, she wasn’t the best teacher but she could tell that Abigail was quick on the uptake it would make things much easier. “We’re in the Dreamscape, the collective unconsciousness of everyone on Earth!” She sat on the edge of the building and stared at the stars for a minute, with all the smog in Bedlam it was rare to see the stars let along this bright. “Magic is everywhere, but it’s collected and shaped by humanity. You know those moments when an old busted car starts when it shouldn’t, or an old friend you were thinking about suddenly calls. People shape magic not the other way round, it’s important to remember that!”

Ms Bright Agnes did like the idea of punching the irritating man, but she had to reign herself in she was trying to help others after all. Taking a breath out she relaxed her fists, for now she wasn’t going to try and fight him, not that she wasn’t ready if he was going to start trouble. “Look I don’t like what your doing here, but your not doing anything wrong. But people are going missing and that has to stop! I got to ask are you responsible for them going missing?” She was prepared for him to give a smartass answer, but she had to at least try this approach.

Peri's Toughness: 1d20+10 27, she'll keep moving and continue to attack with her webs Attack Roll: 1d20+10 15

Emerald Spider Emerald Spider kept in motion off lamppost and wall to make it difficult to predict her movement, not that it seemed to matter as they scored a solid hit. Luckily she was able to roll with the blow to reduce the impact, even using the momentum to flip up and fire off a series of quantum webs towards the foe. “I don’t suppose it’s a good chance to talk about this now?” Not counting on the answer to be positive she continued to move about, hopefully it would be enough to distract them from Justice, until they could recover enough to help out.

Frárvængr "Swift Wing" Frárvængr is a magnifance winged six legged horse with a deep black coloration all over. She is a good 17 hands tall (around 5ft 8in) towering over most modern horses but with a sleeker build of a racing horse rather than a stockier Shire Horse. History: One of the daughter of Skeipnir the horse names Frárvængr was one of those given to Valkyries, being given by Odin to Sanngriðr. The two of them spent many centuries roaming the battlefield choosing those warriors who would go to Valhalla. The two where well suited to each other, with Frárvængr having a fiery temper that only the ruthless Sanngriðr could tame. This was part of the reason that when Sanngriðr was tasked with traveling the oceans her loyal companion was tasked to stay at home rather than following along, a stubborn horse she still followed but at a distance so her companion wouldn‘t know she was there though Sanngriðr was aware of her presence. So Frárvængr watched the battle from a distance unsure whether to intervene on her partners behalf. The last time they met was just before Sanngriðr may the peace pact, and the Valkyrie bid her friend farewell and told her not to wait for her return but to return to Asgard and find her another companion. Frárvængr did not want to bond with another, but instead wandered the multiverse for a while, finding herself a world where humans didn‘t currently existed and settled down among a herd of horse becoming the matriarch of generations of winged horse that spread among the world horses. When Valkyrja returned her companion sensed her return and not long after returned to her side to become her steed again, after bidding farewell to her herd her dedication to Sanngriðr being that strong. Personality & Motivation: Like her returned owner Sanngriðr has mellowed remarkably over the time the two have spent apart. She can still be just as obstinate and stubborn as ever, but she is also much more willing to listen to reason. And not just with Bobbi or Sanngriðr, she also has learned to enjoy the company of other humans, and despite repeatably being told otherwise by Bobbi often tries to strike up a conversation with the local population.
