In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 33):

The STUN multiplier is always 3 in my game for killing attacks.   Which means you did more stun damage.

Also news helicopters have arrived and now you are being filmed from 3 different locations.

Redacted, I don't think your forget me powers work over TV signals.

Sirens sound in the distance.

In reply to Charge (msg # 35):

Phase 6:

Majestic Ocean fires a water blast, filling the hole.

Change Environment: Flood = 1" radius, permanent.

"Now, take down the electrical line into the hole to fry him!"

(Yes, he is now next to the hole, that's y'all's problem...)

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 36):

Flicker hits Amok making him from a SPD of 4 to a SPD of 3.  So he doesn't go until Phase 8 now.

Sharpshooter hits him with a kicking attack doing no body damage and only 20 STUN (thanks to the X3 damage)

Change lobs 4 marbles at him while Majestic Ocean gets him wet.  Charge takes him down.  He is knocked out.

(Congratulations)

The news crews get the very end of the fight.   Sirens get closer.  What now?  Note:  he has a strong recovery.

  "Goes without saying keep a gun on him. As for the rest of you PRIMUS thanks you for your help. But we need statements from you all. Sharpshooter and I will take them once this moron is taken back into custody. And yes I know all to well what it means to keep your real name out of the news." he pauses and looks at the vans and cars all around them."I need all of you to carefully and quickly get out of your cars and head towards the coffee shop that way. We will be setting up an area to take statements once he is in custody. Please be patient and understand there are a lot of you. If you are in a hurry you might be able to leave name, address. and phone number depends on the officer."

    He doesn't sound like there is a second option here. He then waves his hand at Amok from point blank range. And then touches his arm.

In reply to Redacted (msg # 38):

Our hefty heroine settles back on her board a moment.

"Yeeeaaah, he's gonna get back up."

She waves a hand unnecessarily and the water from around Amok reforms around his head.

"Hopefully he has to breathe.  This should keep him out for a while."

(If he is slowly suffocating he doesn't get recoveries, and his Con can hold him a looooong time.)

Sharpshooter calls 9-1-1 for EMTs and to prep hospitals for the injured. He keeps an eye on Amok, even though he seems well taken 'care of'.

Flicker watches the various efforts at keeping the poor fellow subdued, and then asks, "does anyone know if he's new? His actions seemed more mindlessly aggressive than goal oriented. I wouldn't want to think this was a hobo used as a diversionary tactic."

Sharpshooter raises the brim of his hat with one of his automatics. "Cain't rightly say. He's new to me, and I've gone up against most of the supervillains in these here United States at one time or another."

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 42):

M.O. Runs her other hand over her hair wetting it down, slicking it back, deciding the wet look will look better on a water based super than bed head.

"Normally, I'd have tried to reason with him, but when he's already throwing vehicles, they are already past that point..."

"Funny how we all showed up at the same time, do everyone else live around here too?"

 "I was getting coffee on the way to the office." he says as he takes a drink "Managed to not spill it too. Nice." he takes a couple more drinks and then says "Wait most of you live around here? Interesting did you move here or been living here for a bit?"

In reply to Redacted (msg # 44):

"This is technically my 1st semester out of the dorms, but I've been here a few months."

"I'd still be in the dorms, but they had to give me special permission, something about no 1st floor rooms available and possible structural integrity problems."  She rolls her eyes.

Majestic Ocean is a 5'4" blond 18 year old who weighs upwards of 600 pounds and is wearing a blue glitter scaled bikini that draws every attention to her size...

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 45):

Amok is out.  PRIMUS is on their way (that's what the siren sound was, plus ambulances)

One news helicopter lands and a reporter gets out.  He points the camera at he heroes.    Are you a new super hero team?  Do you have super hero names?  What is your team's name?  Can you tell everyone watching what happened.

Now's the time to shine on camera.

In reply to Amok (msg # 46):

Majestic Ocean glides forward on her board.

"Well, we're not a fully established team, yet.  I'm Majestic Ocean, as I guess you could say I'm a big beautiful body of water.  I'll let everyone else introduce themselves.  As for a team name, technically we don't have one yet, but considering socially we live practically on top of each other and where we apprehended this guy, I guess for now you can call us the ... um... Cul De Sac Crusaders?"

"If that's okay with you guys?"  She asks the rest of the assembled heroes...

Flicker replies to Sharpshooter, "the street was dead till that lug pitched a short into the building. Seemed like he was bent bananas, and didn't savvy where he was. Almost like someone got him soused with something that souped him up, then left the slap-happy goon to catch everyone's attention."

In reply to Majestic Ocean (msg # 47):

Sharpshooter sighs "No......no way. I've been a member of Freedom Force, the Crusaders, the SOBs, the Texas Rangers, and the Arizona Avengers. There is no way I'll be associated with such a juvenile team name....not that I'm looking for a team. But I'll admit a team could be useful in rounding up these Stronghold strays."

In reply to Sharpshooter (msg # 49):

"Oh, sorry, didn't know you had such experience at going through Teams like changing underwear...  How about 'The Neighborhood Watch'?"

"My name is Charge." She said, firmly. "And I will not be a part of any team named the Cul de Sac....whatevers." She was known, been heroing for a couple years, and yet up close she looked as though she could be quite young herself. "The Neighborhood Watch is more acceptable."

Then she walked over to Amok and looked at him a moment. "As for this one, I do not know him either." She said, tossing a small pouch of marbles on him.

[OOC: Charge does have a reputation. Good. If anyone wants to roll it. :)

20:01, Today: Charge rolled 14 (with 4 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 6, 3, 5.  KS: Villians 13-.]

  Redacted merely shakes his head and does his cop thing. That is until Ocean starts talking for all of them. "Why in heavens name? Majestic Ocean is it? You would speak for others as if you knew us. We got lucky today. Real lucky. If he had even a little bit of a brain stem in there you might be changing your name to Majestic Puddle. This isn't a game. If you want to be a hero then we can work with that, but Sharpshooter and I are the leaders for now. Just for now. And that isn't open for discussion. And that is for a reason as well which we can discuss in private. Now as for a name seeing as we just met I'd say we need to talk first as a group on a name. And I agree with Sharpshooter on the name. For now no we don't have a name." he says as politely as he can.

OOC: His little rant isn't personal. He sees a bunch of kids with powers he doesn't want you hurt if he can help it.

She sighed softly and looked between the two. "This is neither the time, nor the place."

She then looked towards the news lady and decided to tell her the truth. "We are not a hero team at all. We all just happened to be in the area at the same time and heard the commotion, and decided to react." She continued. "The more we continued to deal with the evolving situation, the more we started working together, despite having never met one another before today." She said with an obviously, and polite smile through her mask.

[OOC: Doing a Persuasion roll to be convincing. And pretty decent. Made it by 3.

20:33, Today: Charge rolled 9 (with 3 body) using 3 with the Hero (Champions) system with rolls of 2, 6, 1.  Persuasion 12-.]

A rider on purple and black Kawasaki Ninja 400 drifts to a stop before parking on the curb next to the news helicopter. The feminine figure wearing a matching helmet with opaque visor, riding suit, boots, and a black backpack, stepped off the bike while shutting it down. Looking over the scene the rider noted the fallen van. Quickly, she moved over to the vehicle and began tending to its occupants.

In reply to Nightshade (msg # 54):

Amok is a brand new villain.

Nightshade. You are very lucky that you are on a motorcycle. Traffic is way backed up.   Oh and you see Ava aka Majestic Ocean.   You have your helmet on so she needs a per roll to recognize you.

The cameras are still rolling.   Barbie and Waghner take injured people to the hospital.   Thus, not part of the group.

Flicker vanishes from his location and appears leaning back onto the van, two arm lengths from the new arrival. "Hey," he says, "a buddy of mine wanted me to look up a PI who he described as a dame behind a motorcycle helmet. If that's you, ya might want to gander at the galoot they just dropped. I figure if Riley got his machine wrong, it might be doin' more transformation than transportation."
"Otherwise there's probably more going on, and laughing boy over there was a red herring."

In reply to Flicker (msg # 56):

Ooc:  Amok does look and smell like a homeless man (drunk too)  He may have a history of being drunk and disorderly. You don't know.   He doesn't have money or ID.

"Hello. I'm guessing that you're the 'friend that kinda sticks out' right?" her response part question and part assertion. With a negative shake of her head she replies, “I'm trying to fly under the radar at the moment. So no, I think I'll leave this hygiene and fashion challenged person to the care of the local authorities.”
More encouragingly she adds, “But later I'd like to meet with you and the rest of the Watch somewhere more private. Please take these business cards, keep one for yourself, and distribute the rest among the others. Ask them to call me in about 20 minutes to get the location of our meeting and I'll be providing some food and drink. Also, tell Majestic Ocean to bring her own munchies, I can't afford to feed her.” she says handing over the cards.
“By the way hero, what should I call you?” she asked.
