So do you exchange contact info and go your ways or something?

We seem to be dragging a bit, do we need to montage time passing and get to the next exciting issue?

Darien has no issue giving someone a cell number--a burner phone--where he can be reached. Having a montage is fine as is just some "let's hang out and talk in private" time.

I'd say the Spook is the same - disposable phone number and then off into the night.

Montage and then getting together later would be good.

Been busy getting stuff done at work in preparation for a long vacation.

Likewise been rather busy I'm afraid! Montage sounds good.

Sorry, been a bit busy. A montage sounds like a good way to get things going again.

Now I'm confused. Watts is in LA but we're in NYC?

The breaking news is probably happening in the same city we are in... same mayor name, baddies with 'snake masks' - perhaps we are in the city of "New Angeles"

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 95):

Must be a street named Watts, yeah, that's it...

Oh, here it is :)

Eep, sorry again for the absences, RL I'm afraid. Looks like I missed the IC conversation.

I do love the media headlines btw!

It is not too late for the IC conversation. Feel free to jump in.

In reply to Darien Hooker (msg # 99):

The Schwarma King thread was meant to be an ongoing thing, not necessarily in sync time wise with stuff on the Front Page.  Somewhere to do more rp & discuss stuff while the action goes on.  It's all experimental though, so however it works out.

Ah then that's my bad

Looks like it's time to clean house.  I'll give people a couple days to respond, but if you haven't posted anything in over a week by Friday I'll consider you out and start contacting people on the waiting list.

The Spook and Darien are safe due to posting more recently.

Back!

Just assume Devilgirl didn't make it to the Schwarma King for reasons. She'll catch up with everyone after we beat the badguys. :)

I'm not much of a crowd controller - should we try a distraction, maybe try luring the snakes away from the hostages?

I doubt we can distract the one's holding the hostages. But we can target them specifically.

It says roll 'em up, here, so I will:

Specialities
13 Athletics
You gain a +1 RS to your agility rank, strength rank and endurance rank when they are used to perform actions associated with athletics; for example: feats of strength for climbing and jumping, feats of agility for acrobatics, horse-riding and gymnastics, and feats of endurance for swimming and distance running. This does not apply to attacks in combat.
Contacts
Contacts are people or organisations that your character is friendly with and who can provide your character with information or help you out in emergencies. These contacts can range from established super heroes to government organisations to military groups or corporations. You can even have super villains or criminal organisations as contacts, although as a super hero you obviously need to be careful how closely you associate yourself with such groups.

Maxwell was an average kid raised by average parents in an average small town. After high school he started welding on the line with all the other average joes trying to make a living. Despite working himself near to death and having no life outside the extra shifts and additional odd jobs, he wasn't getting rich. After they shut down the plant, and he spent half a year trying to find work, things were looking bleak. Moving to the big city, Max thought he might have better options and more opportunities. The school system hired him, as a janitor.
Rather than give up, Max worked hard all night and looked for more work during the day. Answering an advertisement at one of the many "payday loan" establishments, Max was involved in a robbery. The men trying to steal the cash were nervous, twitchy, and probably dangerous. Max raised his hands and backed to the wall, saying, "Ok, no problem here, no need to have a problem here."
The gunman fired, and Max saw red. Only he wasn't seeing blood, he was just mad. He lowered his hands and stepped from the wall towards the gunman. Somebody was shouting "OK NOW YOU TICKED ME OFF!" Max didn't know it was him till he saw the security footage, but he didn't admit it. The gunmen hadn't walked away with the money. The businesses security system didn't show the man at the door (Max had been identified by the employees, but they hadn't seen what happened). It showed a gunman firing at someone who had come in, and man made of living mirror shouting at the men with guns, blinding them with glare, then hooking two fingers of each hand in the front of the gunmen's shirts, and bouncing both of the gunmen off the ceiling.
Eventually, Max figured out he was a mutant of some sort, and decided he could help. Maybe if he did enough good deeds, he could turn his own life around. His code name was uninspired, but he stuck with it because no one else wanted it. Somehow, that was becoming a theme.

Welcome aboard! Hope you like snakes...

But not too much. :)

soulsight, Looks good!  *Poof* soulsight is now Manmirror.  You can pop in whenever you're up for it in the Front Page News!

Popping in at Will, but I don't think he's as funny as people make him out to be.
Except maybe in that Christmas movie about the giant elf, but that had Bob Newhart so everyone looked better.
What was I doing? Oh, yeah.
Manmirror was reflecting on the state of modern entertainment.

I went the long way around, but I got there.

Welcome Manmirror! :)

*checks her hair and lipstick in reflection*

Is it too late to add a limitation to the Transform (Density) to raise it a rank? If it is, could the limitation be that his other powers (reflection and dazzle) will not work when he uses Transform?
I'm asking because at maximum, that would give him decent agility, world class damage resistance, and phenomenal strength. That way, his athletics specialty would shift his lift to Single-Shift... I want to be able to pick up a house!
Oh, and it makes sense that a density change would modify the reflective, and therefore dazzling, nature of his body surface.

That's fine, it's early enough your powers aren't set in stone yet (possible pun not intended).
