Justice Front #1

Scarlet did not have her costume on, just a pair of jeans, a t-shirt with extra arm holes for her extra arms and her over sized coat so that she could hide said arms. Sure there were others walking around with more obvious appearances than her extra arms, but she didn't feel the need to advertise that she had them to anyone that didn't already know. Unless there was a reason to. Scarlet finished her outfit off with a pair of mirrored sunglasses. With those in place, she was ready to go.

Loose Cannon was exploring a new world, so many people, so many sellers, people in weird costumes. Fortunately the day started going colder when they got to the convention so his coat, hat and scarf did not bring the attention of people, it is spring but the winter just started so there are still some days to go with the coat with no problems.
A hallway filled with giant posters headed to a even bigger room, filled with more people and more sellers. All kind of people dressed with fancy clothes of different colors.
Loose Cannon is now learning something about the human nature he ignored.

Lex shakes his head and shushes Alloy, thinking Alana might be touchy about the fact that she doesn't take pictures.

As the group enjoys the show, they seem to forget all the problems they are facing right now. The departure of Puck, the decision they took together to not register and only serving as Alloy's anonymous partners and many other circumstances of life they now have to face being part of the so called legionnaires, a term that went from being respected to be outlawed.
Alloy had his appointment on Wednesday to sign his registry and he only wanted to have a good time before his life change probably forever.

Things went normally until something called the attention of Alloy. In one of the medium size booths, a girl showed to the public a slabbed comic: it was a CGC 9.8 copy of Justice Machine #1, Alloy's personal holy grail. Alloy did not understand what was happening and why the girl showed the comic in a way she wanted it be visible to all the visitors to the booth.
Until he understood. A man that could not represent more the stereotype of a comic nerd talked to the visitors of the booth.

Thank you for visiting Century Comics, we have a very nice offer for all our faithful customers: every time you spend $5 with us you will receive one numbered ticket, at the end of the day we will hold a sweepstakes and one of the tickets will win this amazing pristine copy of Justice Machine #1. The most you buy the more chances you have to win this unique copy. It is the only copy of this comic in this condition according to the CGC census so buy, buy for the win.
Dig our fabulous dollar bins and find treasures. We have golden, silver, bronge, modern. Just buy and win this prize.

"Holy shi...I've only ever seen reprints..."

He started toward the booth and then stopped short.

"One of you guys get Lex. I'm going to be digging in this booth for a while and I don't want him to be trapped."

..and then, with all the glee of a true comicbook geek, he dove right in.

Shaking her head a bit as she saw Hal start acting like a kid in a candy store she gently took Lex's hand and placed it on her shoulder. "I got you buddy. We'll just leave Hal here and keep looking around. Call if you need anything Hal." Having said that Scarlet will lead Lex and the others further into the convention.

Loose Cannon barely can understand what is happening but the only thing it is certain is that comic inside a plastic transparent container is desirable, at least for Alloy and that a fortunate customer will take it to home. He puts his hand inside his pocket looking for some money and he can gather less than $3.

He goes to the Dollar bin and starts digging, he does not know anything about value of a comic, he takes two books that catches his eye. One is a battered copy of a Tarzan comic from the 60's and the second one was Action Comics Annual #5 only because it showed a character called as himself: Loose Cannon.

When he finished his purchase talked to the seller:

Could you please add this sale to my friend's total purchase?

Hatfield actually stares, for a moment, at Hal before he says, "you got folk like that here, too. Well, at least the quality's a little better."
Pointing to a comic with a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex on the cover, Hatfield continues, "most places they get the color o' them devil lizards dead wrong. It's nice to see someone got it right. I wonder if he's actually seen any?"

Lex felt miserably out of place. Getting passed off like a kindergardener didn't help, but the real problem was that he could never get any of the joy these people got from a comic book. He sighed, "Purple huh? I always get that one confused. Is is grapes or bananas?"

As the minutes run and Hal digs in the long boxes filled with comics, you see people running as if they would be fleeing from somewhere. Others stand watching to the booth that seems to be the source of the commotion, although the most not even know what is happening.

"Hey thanks LC! If I win it we'll get our picture made with it..."

His head snapped up, easily showing above most of the more reasonable sized comic fans, and then switched back and forth between comics and the obvious emergency several times.

"Ah damn..."

Hal let the double handful of comics he was holding fall back into the long box and turned to look for the rest of the team.

Loose Cannon was just opening his battered Tarzan comic to start reading when the commotion started.

Scarlet scowled as people started running and screaming, all signs of some kind of emergency. And that meant work for the team, instead of being able to enjoy the convention they'd paid good money to get into. Ah well, turning her head to look at Crusader, she wished she'd had her costume on now. "Your call bossman, do we go find out what's going on or let some other heroes handle it?"

While not particularly active the camera that Alana has become does occasionally take a picture of whatever she happens to be pointed at.  In the case of the booth where so much attention is focused she takes several pictures, storing for all time the transient experience they are all partaking of.

Hatfield hears the concerns of his friends, and glances at the booth in question. Taking a few steps towards the booth to ensure it's within his range, he mouths a particularly lurid invocation in a language never taught by human parents to their children. There was a slight flair at his eyes, and the transdimensional magic neo thaumaturge spun in a quick circle to look around.
[Private to GM: Casting Sense Evil (uses two ppe)
Sense Evil:
Range: 90 foot (27.4 m) radius.
Duration : Two minutes (8 melee rounds) per level of experience.
Saving Throw: None, however a psychic mind block or a protection
from magic circle will prevent the spell from working on
those under their protection (note that the psychic's ability to
sense evil is not blocked by the magic circle).
P.P.E.: Two
The sense evil invocation will enable its spell caster to feel or
sense the presence of supernatural evil. It will indicate approximately
how many supernatural evil presences are within the 90
foot (27.4 m) radius: one, a few (2-6), several (7- 1 4) , or many ( 1 5
o r more) . I t can also register the intensity of the evil and pinpoint
the general location of the source(s) to a particular room(s) , possessed
object or person, or an approximate distance (very close,
near, far, etc.).
Evil emanations from human and most mortal beings are
much less distinct and cannot be sensed unless the source/person
has an immediate and intense evil intention.

17:42, Today: Crusader rolled 87 using 1d100.  /50% interpret shapes

Crusader didn't like this at all, but their choices are limited."It's on us. Civilians are the priority, protect and evacuate. I need to know what is happening so keep me in the loop. Go."

Lex will duck and try to find a place where he can grab a mask of some kind to hide his identity.

"I'll make sure the exit doors are clear."

When Hal stood up he had shifted into his powered up form between his normal self and the armored behemoth he had become to put down Proton.

He looked more or less the same, just...better (and somewhat bigger). It could be explained away as another comic fan with bad posture suddenly deciding to stand up straight. Most significantly the powered form had both legs and could move at speed through a crowd without risk of falling.

He made his way along with the crowd headed toward the exit. He carefully used his cop skills and irresistible strength to get further toward the front of the crowd so that he could make certain the doors were open and no one was getting crushed against them trying to get out of here.

If the doors were not open when he got there they soon would be.

Once Crusader finds a place out of the way, where they aren't being looked at by anyone who might be to interested, Alana first shifts out of the camera form first into her robot form crouched in the hidden space, then she turns into an indoor Segway of the sort that is at least theoretically appropriate for someone to use at a convention like this.

Hatfield decides to take a closer look so he can tell the others what's going on. He invokes more magic with words and gestures, and then vanishes. That accomplished, he jogs through the crowd to get a look at the center of the disturbance. He attempts to activate his radio and tell the others what he's doing, but fails to depress the push to talk button and his words are lost in the increasingly panicky sounds of the crowd.


Hatfield casts
Invisibility: Simple:
Range: Self only (includes clothes and articles on one's person).
Duration: Three minutes (12 melees) per level of experience.
Saving Throw: None
P.P.E.: Six
The spell caster and anything he is wearing or carrying at the
time of the invocation are turned completely invisible. Any object
picked up after the character has become invisible remains visible.
Likewise, any item on his person that is dropped becomes
visible. Neither normal nor nightvision can detect invisibility; only
beings who can naturally, psionically or magically "see the invisible"
can see the character. Infrared, heat detectors, and scent
tracking (animal) can also pinpoint the invisible person.
Although the invisible person is imperceptible to the eye, he
still retains physical mass. This means he cannot go through
walls nor can weapons pass harmlessly through him. The character
still makes noise, leaves footprints, and physical and magical
contact/attacks still affect him as usual.
While invisible, the mage can talk, weave spells, walk, climb,
run, open doors, carry objects, and perform other acts of physical
exertion, including combat, and remain invisible. The invisibility is
terminated when the magic's duration time elapses or the mage
cancels the spell. Note: If cut, only the blood is visible.
