eyeonthemountain Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 OOC: More of Contour's introduction. Touring the art galleries. Feel free to drop in. Contour flies above the rooftops for a few seconds, slowly scanning the street signs and store names until he finds the Vincent Ars Art Gallery in his prestigious corner location on two major thoroughfares. Contour comes to the ground in front of anyone who may be present, and looks around at at anyone looking at him "My name is Contour, and I an new in town. Good to meet you all." He waits to see if anyone says anything.......
MBCE Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Sammy looked down at the guide book in his head and reread the description of the sculpture. Something about it just didn't sit right with him. The style wasn't one that he really liked and so far, the whole exhibit had done nothing for him. 'Best to get out of here and head home. Maybe next month they'll ahve something better.' Sammy moved out of the building and stopped suddenly when the man landed from the sky. 'Great. Another super in town. Maybe I'll ahve some fun with the newbbie.' Sammy moved over to the hero and smiled. "Welcome to Freedom City, Contour. What brings you to this fine city?"
eyeonthemountain Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 OOC: I would like to roll a sense motive against this guy (+1 total mod to roll) but Invisible castle is still down (for the last few days) How should I do the dice roll?
golentan Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 *Why can't I have a quiet night out? I mean, I'm only a couple of blocks from home, and I still manage to run into a super? I just wanted to go out, have some good food, go to the gallery, maybe buy something.* She oohed and aahed with the sheep, watching the hero mug it up. Then she had a brilliant idea. *Let's make this boy's first days in Freedom interesting. Nothing like some mistaken identity issues to screw with someone.* She reached out with her thoughts, smashing outward the front glass, grabbed the most expensive painting (she had marked it's location earlier) and launched it at the hero at just the right speed to try to get him to catch it. *Let's see how he handles THAT!*

Contour looks at this friendly, (too friendly) guy carefully but probably does not get anything off him so he replies in a friendly way, "Heard this was the best city on earth. Wanted to see for myself.

I'm guessing so, but you do not actually say it. For PBP, I find using 3rd person works a lot better, and starting the post with your character's name makes sure everyone knows who is there. Also, with no subtle on your TK, it's gonna be obvious to everyone who is doing this.......

Wanted to see for myself. Sammy attempts to keep a straight face as the hero speaks again but he fails to do so. With laughter in his words, Sammy shakes his head in reply. "Well with that attitude, you'll find that the city a very enjoyable place to live!"
MBCE Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 MBCE, you willing to handle this as a GM, or should we go for it alone? Not a problem. I'll make an OOc list to keep things clean here.
eyeonthemountain Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Sammy attempts to keep a straight face as the hero speaks again but he fails to do so. With laughter in his words, Sammy shakes his head in reply. "Well with that attitude, you'll find that the city a very enjoyable place to live!" Contour does indeed gets something off the guy, maybe something hidden or evasive, but is not sure what he got, He is about to answer when the window breaks near him and .... OOC: I'll continue once things are cleared up a bit.
eyeonthemountain Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 When the painting comes flying out of the gallery front door and directly at Contour, he tries to avoid (1d20+2=15) it as he traces the power back to its source and looks (1d20 5=13) to see who the super is who is doing this. Contour takes a closer look at this friendly guy near him and says, while he remembers his face, "You don't seem put off by someone coming in flying form the sky. Are Supers that common heree.?"
MBCE Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Sammy thnks on the question for a while before answering. He remebered the two heroes or whatever they were that tried to stop him from robbing the Delphic Industries earlier in the year. He then recalled the two heroes that showed up while he was trying to get the Aurora Diamond collection. Slowly Sammy nodded his head. "Yeah, they seem to pop up at the strangest times. It gets to a point where a fella can't go about his daily routine without one or another pops up to showboat." Sammy takes a moment to look at the people beginning to stare at the hero. "Hmmm, do you really need to be out here on the streets like this? I'm not one that likes to have people staring at him."
eyeonthemountain Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Since Sammy's odd reaction to Contour's supers question, and his change of supers to heroes in contour's last question, Contour is wondering who this guy is. Is he someone who runs into supers a lot in his job, like someone who fixes up the damage they caue,or someone who runs from them .... Contour looks at the gallery, and imagines the sculptures inside he came here to see, but decides to talk to this odd guy a bit, aware someone might be feeling him out. He answers, "That sounds good. Sure you want to hang out with me? No telling when a super might show up to cause trouble.
MBCE Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 OOC: Sammy has never said the word "hero" aloud. If you go back and reread the post you'll see that it so. I'll put speak bold from now on to make it clear what is actually said. IC: Sammy tilted his head as he regarded the strange man. "What? Do all Supers cause trouble where you're from? There are some good ones here in Freedom that help out from time to time." Even as he spoke, Sammy thought of all the supers that he ahd worked with. The first group had helped him steal the Aurora Diamond collection. The second group helped witht he job over at the Golden Calf Casino. "Besides, with you here, who would be foolish to cause trouble." Sammy gives a short laugh before gesturing to the inside of the gallery. "Would you care to have a look inside?"
eyeonthemountain Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Contour says, " It seems to me you are in more danger next to me, than elsewhere. Who knows when someone will come up to either prove themselves, or have a bit of fun. I can take an attack, hopefully more, but can you. No offense, but you might be safer further away. Contour seems sincere, but also seems to be spouting the party line, rather than something he really feels or thinks is true.
eyeonthemountain Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 In the face of Sammy's silence Contour says, "Well, I understand it being a bit off putting. I'm new to the scene myself."
MBCE Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Sammy gave a weak smile. "Yes, it is. So, why do you expect danger to come your way? Have you done something to upset someone somwhere?" Sammy watches him closely to see how he responds to his question. I wonder why he didn't answer my question about where he was from? Maybe he's not a hero.
eyeonthemountain Posted September 6, 2008 Author Posted September 6, 2008 Contour shrugs, "Be ready for waht might happen, not what you think might happen. A lot safer taht way. But if you want to risk it, be my guest." Controur heads for the museum, pulling out a wallet out of his back pocket and paying admission to the museum for both him and Sammy. He pays in cash. Then he looks at Sammy and says, "What kind of art do you favor? Or are you interested in art at all? I can give you a tour if you like.
MBCE Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Contour shrugs, "Be ready for waht might happen, not what you think might happen. A lot safer taht way. But if you want to risk it, be my guest." Sammy shrugs his shoulders in return. "Lady Fortune watches out for me so what's a little risk in life?" Controur heads for the museum, pulling out a wallet out of his back pocket and paying admission to the museum for both him and Sammy. He pays in cash. Then he looks at Sammy and says, "What kind of art do you favor? Or are you interested in art at all? I can give you a tour if you like. Sammy does object from letting the super pay his way into the musuem. The way Sammy figured things, the guy owed him that much. "I like all kinds really. I tend to stay away from most of the more modern stuff that's come out in the past few years. There's just no taste these days." Sammy goes on to discuss a variety of paintings that he finds pleasing to the eye. "But I should be showing you around. This is my town and you're new. Let me point out some of the finer treasures here." As the two moved about the musuem, Sammy again brought up the question that Contour seemed to be ignoring. "So, where are you from? You running from somethign back home?"

I am more into sculpture myself, as he talks about his art knowledge (1d20+8=14). Contour says, answering his last question, " Not sure why you are so fixated on where I am from, as he looks carefully at him [sense motive] (1d20+1=19) but he does not answer directly. And he seems to be a bit suspicious.

Have you done something to upset someone somwhere?" Sammy watches him closely to see how he responds to his question. Contour looks at him and obviously bluffs (1d20+0=2) is not interested in answering the question. Probably not for any special reason, but just ignores the question. OOC: Go ahead and place this wherever it will fit.
MBCE Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Contour says, "You sure do know a lot about art" Contour says, Seeming impressed, "But you are into pointing mostly, it seems. I am more into sculpture myself, as he talks about his art knowledge (1d20+8=14). Sammy seems to be also impressed with the super's knowledge of sculptures. "Wow, I never did look at it like that before. I just find paintings more pleasing to the eye." Contour says, answering his last question, " Not sure why you are so fixated on where I am from, as he looks carefully at him [sense motive] (1d20+1=19) but he does not answer directly. And he seems to be a bit suspicious. Sammy shrugs his shoulders. "hey, you were the one that brought that danger made come looking for you. Hard to expect that to happen when you just arrived in the city. So I figured something must be chasing you. The city's filled with all kinds of supers, both good and bad. They don't all pop out to cause problems." Sammy suddenly slapped his forehead. "Darn! I forgot I never did introduce myself. The name's Sammy. Sammy Cosentino." He held his hand out in a friendly gesture for a shake.
eyeonthemountain Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 Contour is finding it hard to follow this guy's words, *What in the world did 'the one that brought that danger made come looking for you' mean anyway? Was this guy foreign? Contour says aloud, " Nice to meet you. as he shakes hands quickly nad perhaps lets go a bit quickly.

Was this guy foreign? OOC: Shows I need to either stop posting late at night or make sure to reread what I typed before posting. :oops: Contour says aloud, " Nice to meet you. as he shakes hands quickly nad perhaps lets go a bit quickly. Sammy has no problems with the quick hand shake. Once the contact is broken he turns towards one of the paintings hanging upon the wall. It was a beatuiful night scene with stars in the sky. "Now this is one I've had my eye on for some time now. It's a Van Gogh. The city has it on loan for their autumn exhibition. What I wouldn't do to have that in my possesion." Sammy gave a wishful sigh before turning back to Contour. "I guess I just have to settle for a print from the gift shop."
eyeonthemountain Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Contour shrugs, "I suppose it is ok, but sculpture is what I do. Do you do any art yourself?"
