With Great Power
Can't get the Private function to work but for Resonance.
1. You feel as if you are in some kind of illusion. It seems as though your fellow team mates are real but everything else is questionable. Jocasta seems a more sinister version of her usual self.
2. If this is an illusion, then it has the logic of a dream. There is a truth you must realize or puzzle you must solve to escape.
3. You believe the palm-sized cloth is of the same material as your Unstable Molecule Fabric. It does adhere slightly to your uniform but can be unstuck and stuck again (like a post-it note).
Mania is wonderfully creepy ;-)
1. Andi notices the goldfish should be louder than it is, the tech needed isn't that complicated. Leaning closer, she can barely hear it whisper, "<the znayesh, gde tvoe polotence?>"
2. The biggest threat and danger is whatever is thinking up the illusion and what it wants. Likely it could kill you more efficiently than it might be so your destruction is not its IMMEDIATE aim at least.
3. Finding out the surreal logic behind this dream is the best way out of it.
Svetlana listened to her own goldfish, knowing that "<the znayesh, gde tvoe polotence?>" meant "Do you know where your towel is?" in her native Russian. And then the goldfish crawled into her ear. It was due to undulations on the goldfish's UMF exterior that let the fish move the tiny gap that remained.
Once inside Svetlana's ear canal, the UMF skin of the goldfish shaped to fit it precisely. And then Svetlana heard a voice at a comfortable volume. "Hey there, hoopy frood, your babelfish earpiece is ready to go. Don't panic!" All the other fish worn or held by other team mates repeated the same words.
"Hm." said Jocasta. "it looks like you can figure out simple technology. But let's give you a real challenge. <b>En garde!"</b> And with that Jocasta brandished her now glowing halberd and began to attack...
OOC:
A tiny worn hole has appeared in the fabric covering Resonance's knee, as might happen on a pair of cheap jeans. But UMF costumes are anything but cheap or jeans. The hole is slightly smaller than the patch of fabric you were given.
Svetlana's ring has returned to normal functioning and it has revealed a basic function of the ring. It can absorb the appearance of another given time and care. It looks like there is just enough memory in the ring to copy only one form at a time. Quick movement will destroy the illusion and great differences between real and apparent forms will make themselves known in time.
The earpiece is a very tiny communicator, like the ones used in the Avengers and Iron Man movies. Some nerds on the design committee were inspired by the babelfish from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Once placed in the ear or very near it, it allows audio communication with other similarly-placed earpieces.
Jocasta will attack one character in my next reply. Other characters can attack Jocasta back. For this thread, you may use Moves or just plain guess and experiment to progress. Future threads should be fully rules-compliant.
