In reply to Tadeusz (msg # 1):

You wake from dreams of lightning disputing a speed ticket with a judge.  "But, sir, ahem, your honor, I can't go less than 186,000 miles per second."

And you wake to the smell of gasoline burned, and the cry of seagulls, and a roughedged Southern man speaking.

"Ya'll git ready."

A musical voiced Spanish inflected young man replies with a cocksure swagger.

"I was born ready."

A nervous young girl speaks.  "Sam, up this high, I can't use my powers."

Beneath you is a thin carpet, and a hard floor that trembles a bit.

Do I want to reveal myself or not? Eh screw it. I'm gonna have to reveal myself eventually.

I stand up and approach the nearest sounding voice. I've got my hand ready to draw my revolver from my belt if things should go south suddenly.

Okay, Magehammer is in jeans and a tee shirt, black combat boots, his black, bulletproof trenchcoat and a huge backpack that has (Anything I can think of????) in it? Or do you actually want me to list off the contents of the backpack?

He's carrying a 50 caliber, six shot revolver on a toolbelt. And of course his magical blacksmithing hammer. The toolbelt has (Anything I can think of in it?) Or do you actually want me to list off its contents?

He's got a laser pistol in a shoulder holster, and a sawed off on both ends double barrel 12 gauge shotgun loaded with one flare and one explosive. He's got extra shells that can do a lot of other things. Everything from tear gas to armor piercing slugs. (If the ref will allow, that is)

He was combining Order and Chaos magic. Teleported once. Lights himself on fire. Order protecting him, Chaos burning around him.

Sound good to you ref?

OOC) My favorite plot device is a large container of unknown contents. The Magehammer that I run as referee, his backpack and toolbelt are four dimensional, infinite storage hypercubes. They were built by Jimmy Neutron. Magehammer literally has armored cars and tanks and jeeps and rigs of every size that he can pull out of his toolbelt. And the best part is, the hypercubes work in +15 or -15 tech bias. (MJ did say "Anything was possible" in this game.)

A rawboned blonde young man turns to you, and then so does a black-haired girl with short curls.  She's got almost an Italian look, but she's pale.  There is another shorter man, but he's solid black, like he's absorbing light.

You're in a large, carpeted room with windows on all sides, and an elevator door near where you woke.

And then a metallic purple hand, the fingers of which are four feet thick and fifteen feet long, reaches up, and punches through the window.

"What da heck is that?" I ask anyone who will answer.

Then I pull my hammer and try to freeze the robot hand. Freeze it to the point that it will shatter from the impact of being pulled back out.

Be prepared to Flame On at a moment's notice. I figure whenever possible, try to alternate between Order and Chaos magic. Couldn't hurt.

OOC) Just a little English lesson. There are very few words in English which are gender-specific. Blond and Blonde are two such words. Blond is for a male, Blonde is for a female.

In reply to JohnA1nut (msg # 7):

OOC: Thanks.

You draw in Order, and flush it through the hand, driving out the Chaos of heat.  Ice covers the arm, and the solid black man runs forward, grabs the hand and yanks it off, tossing it behind him.  The ten ton hand half punches a hole in the floor.  You feel as if you want to throw up.

The blond man nods, and grabs the girl by the hand, and then grabs your hand as well, unless you resist.  Then you and the other two are suddenly blasted through the roof.  For a second, you think and explosion too you, but you're not harmed.  An energy field surrounds you, emanating from the blond man, and trailing behind.

"I'm Cannonball." He shouts.  Its very loud inside the field.  You've shot several hundred feet above a skyscraper, and below you is a large metropolis.

I think that would happen to fast for me to resist it.

I ask "Where'd that black guy go? You left him behind."

When I get a second, ask "Where are we? What is that robot thing? And who are you?"

In reply to JohnA1nut (msg # 9):

You have to shout it.

"Don't worry...we'll git I'm..."

And suddenly you're tilting over ninety degrees, and a few seconds later, ninety more degrees, and you're heading back down.  You see a hundred story skyscraper below you in the midst of a giant metropolis.

And on the side of the skyscraper is a five story tall purple and gray robot that is absorbing metal from the scraper to rebuild its hand.  And then the black spot leaps from the building about seventy feet and plummets straight down.

Another ninety degree turn, and ...you're heading straight down.

"Hang on. This is going to be close."  And suddenly you're going twice as fast with your stomach left behind as you roar straight down toward the road below.

Channel my sickness Chaos into a lightning bolt or a fireball or heck, a baby nuke and throw it at the sentinel. Magehammer has seen these before, he knows what they're called.

OOC) I was trying to figure out how to do that without risking disrupting the Chaotic flight pattern. Then I reread the post. Sickness Chaos; turned into a weapon.

In reply to JohnA1nut (msg # 11):

You channel the minor amount of sickness chaos into a small lightning bolt that hits the Sentinel.  It pauses for a second, and then even as its hand continues to repair, it turns its head with the glowing red eyes that a three feet across towards you.  This does also make your stomach feel fine.

"Systemic Threat: Magehammer: Exterminate."

"Grab Sunspot!!" Cannonball hollers at you as  all of you plunge past the fortieth floor, and come up on the black spot in man shape.

I don't know exactly what he wants me to do there. Grab him with my hand? I'm gonna try to manipulate Order into a grabber. An Order grabber. Try to grab him with that.

Later on, after I have a chance to process everything, I'm going to realize that I've been to this world before. Wonder if anyone still has any of the black iron weapons I made..... I'm also hoping I can still make them. Going underground. Supplying magical weapons oughta change the course of this war.
