HEROES

This is where the heroes will play. Paragon City is the setting.

Re: HEROES

Desks are scattered around the teleporter Mittens is repeatedly measuring.  She frequently re-checks the measurements and returns to clicking on the nearby laptop.  "Was that 3 2/3 desks from the floor or from the platform?" she mutters to herself, brows furrowed, lips skewed to one side,  "How the heck am I supposed to make that diagonal?!"

Re: HEROES

Timothius sneaks up behind Mittens and glomps her. "Gotchya!" he exclaims as he hugs. "Take a break. Your brain'll figure it out if you relax some." Timothius loves how Mittens has beaten super-powerful villains and such, but she is so easily distracted she can be snuck up on even by him.

Re: HEROES

Mittens is totally taken by surprise!  o.O  She does that freeze-up spasm people do when startled, but fortunately doesn't knock the laptop off it's stand.

"Relax you say?" she answers calmly, trying to hide how startled she was, "What'd you have in mind?  Watch cartoons?  Go out for pizza?"

The word alone is enough to make her mouth water.  "Lunch time already?!" she thinks to herself, "I haven't eaten since breakfast!"

Re: HEROES

Timothius grins. "Sounds good. But I had going on patrol in mind. Maybe a few missions just the two of us." Compaired to base building, Timothius knows Mittens would probably consider missions much more relaxing.

Re: HEROES



"Sounds fun!" she answers enthusiastically, "BRB"

With that she begins the mysterious magic of changing to scrapper mode.  Poof!  New costume, badges, inventory, etc.



"Talos here we come!"  She super speeds to the portal marked "T"

Re: HEROES

  It’s a known fact that Paragon city, let alone Atlas Park has a Police force, along with Longbow, etc etc.

  Quite often they aid Heroic types by telling them where problems are occurring, or soon will occur.  And while some might wonder why the police don’t act on their own tips for lower risk problems, the Police force does its job.  Just ask any villain trying to rob a bank, ever.  They wonder if they ever take days off.

  Of course, there are some downsides to this arrangement.

  One such example when certain heroes were given information with the expectation they go off and save innocent people before they could die.  An attack is imminent, the ones who will be caught in the situation are about the only ones who don’t know about it...

  It has been six hours since the shall-remain-nameless hero was told of the situation.
  “Okay, I’ve gone to Wentworths, finally found colors I like for my costume, found the noteworthy parts of the landscape, and prevented two purse snatchings.  I guess I should deal with this now.”
  And with that, they entered the building intent on busting the skulls of some Skulls, and bask in the thanks of rescued party goers who probably would have kept running back and forth in a panic without him to guide them...

  “**** OMG Buged!”  Whatever the heck that means, it could be heard by a man on the other side of town with a recently acquired fire axe, trying to convince a vendor to actually sell him one of the newspapers they keep advertising.

  “I think I just came from there?”
  “Hey, What’s up? You want the scoop? I’m your guy.”
  “...I’ll just leave the money on the pile.”

  Once again,  Joe Darkthorne was reminded that there were stranger things than taking up an ‘In Case Of Emergency Break Glass’ sign up on its offer, and putting its contents to use.  And gaining access to spacetime portals because you shattered the fourth wall’s kneecaps.

Re: HEROES

Timothius dons his scrapper gear also and follows Mittens to Talos Island, super speed style. He taps at his police radio and overhears about some Skulls starting some trouble again. "Oh good... Skulls!" he says cheerfully, preferring to fight them instead of, say, Circle of Thorns. He selects the mission. "Mission set, Mittens. Which one's closer?"

Re: HEROES



"Like you have to ask..." Mittens answers as she re-checks the details of her lead, "Yup.  Yours."

Within seconds, she's barging through the office door that leads to the Skulls cave hide-out!

Re: HEROES

Timothius arrives with Mittens at the location of the Skulls' "hideout" which, of course, is no longer hidden. The same area, of course, would be reported to Joe via his newspaper should he check. More Skulls to bust!

Re: HEROES

  Joe had been looking for the comics and pizza coupons, but that’s the section with the previously mentioned hint hint in it.

  Joe considered his options.  He could just move on with his life, plus free fire axe.  It wasn’t as if there was any dramatic reason he’d keep risking his life.

  “Why did I bother any... Oh come on.”  Joe was given a convenient view of some of the local Atlas Park Skulls through new and inconvenient bullet holes in his newspaper.

  About eighty seconds later, they were hacked to oblivion with a fire axe arrested.  “Oh, right.  I did it because they suck and I hate them.”  And with that, Joe put the wonders of public transportation to use.

  There have been better, more well thought out reasons for fighting crime.  But at least the only whining about his parents you’ll hear from Joe is how certain relatives are idiots.

Re: HEROES

The good looking magnificent Dre was walking around atlas just checking out all the hot super hero's around the area searching for entertainment as he was bored this very day which is very unusual for him. Being a low class hero theres not much to do in the city except walk around and be useless for awhile but oh well he was dretastic and he could pull of anything. As he walked he wished that some unknown hero to him would walk up and invite him into a group so he could kick some bad guy butt that was his favorite thing to do especially those purse nappers... "Dang them purse nappers, always causing trouble for my lil old ladies... hmmph" Dre thought to himself. He continued to walk the path just twiddling his thumbs and humming a tune he had in is head all day

Re: HEROES

Timothius has entered the hideout with Mittens and pulls out his sword. He smiles at Mittens and winks before charging in and starting to cause some serious punishment on the Skulls. Poor guys never had a chance. But the number seems pretty high and these Skulls are tougher than normal. Probably because the Skulls heard Mittens was coming and the people in town know Mittens has a reputation for being Unyielding...

Re: HEROES

Not too far away from Dretastic was a soon-to-be hero named Maverick who most would simply overlook as some goth kid thanks to his "leave me alone" expression and black clothing. And by kid, I mean this boy is only 8 years old. He watches yet another spandex-wearing hero walking the streets and kicking the butt of purse-nappers. Maverick looks over his recently acquired hero license and looks back towards the hero. Well he'll never blend with a muscle-bound spandexer like Dre... but then there were few, if any, that Maverick feels he would blend in with anyways. So he goes to Dre and says, "Greetings. Word is there is a Skulls hideout nearby." Maverick doesn't have a police radio yet, but he tends to gather information in many ways. "Interested?" he asks the great, dashing Dretastic.

Re: HEROES



Amid a whirlwind of parries, slashes, and gunfire, Mittens uses the PPHUD (Paragon Police heads up display) to search for people to invite to the team.

"You wunna just duo or shall we invite more?" she asks her brother, "Not much available out there."

Without waiting for a reply, she sends Joe, Dre, Maverick, and a few others a direct message: "Interested in a Talos Island team?"

(ooc: LOL!  Joe... Dre...  L O L ! )

Re: HEROES

‘I’ve skipped straight past the first sign of madness into the later stages surprisingly swiftly’ Sudden development of voices in ones head, suggesting they team up probably wasn’t a good sign.

  ...Oh, right.  The wonders of modern phone technology where there was no such thing as unlisted numbers.  A fact that was also made more clear due to other obvious details.

  “I needed to be on a team to commit acts of sensible violence?”  He asked.  The similar use of communications technology was skipped through the wonders of being five feet away from who he was talking to, hence why he could figure who was doing the asking.

  “The door was open.  You’d think they would lock them, but then again I guess wooden doors probably wouldn’t hold up to much.”  Yes, Joe had entered a populated mission without actually joining a team yet.

  But that made more sense than an office building door leading to a cave.
