(2) - Dawn of the Metahumans

Game Master mdt

Also, don't forget. You could -totally- buy down the wings, if you aren't enjoying them. You can buy off disads. You could also potentially buy a shapeshift (visual/touch) or transform maybe, that would let you hide them. I don't know, I'm not the awesome person.

Okay, so what we have are:

Possibility of PI. Saffron and Violet are basically the only ones who can. BUT they could take Goo who's good at deduction to basically anywhere.

Cop on the inside. Whip!

Uncle Bill's Black Folders. Vi!

Super-happy-funtime-radio. Pulse!

Gossip... plus his muralist friends getting in trouble. Rocket!

Any other ideas?

Not much else I can think of we might be able to buy something for the base that lets us see public cameras?

Maybe, though it'd be of limited value, I think. Rocket could probably watch a ton of feeds at once.

If I want to raise Hotaru's Con over time (I'm thinking it's the stat I care most about as Hotaru's player. Endurance, Recovery, Stun, and Energy Defense all make me excited!), what sort of activities should I do? Is simply being aerobically active a suitable reason? Or is there a certain point where we'd need specific equipment to grow further?

Race Rocket a bunch to build up con...

Since I'd have points left your way (also... D'oh! Physical limitation is what I needed!), I could spend 2 more points to add +1 to the skill check without increasing the price at all. I think.

Yep.

She could also run up and down the stair wells in the building numerous times a day. :)

Violet's fine doing the PI thing, if that's what we really want to do (Support the team! Rah!), but she's also highly interested in whatever technology Aegis is getting ready to build up to. We should find some way to leverage Goo's scientific genius, not just have him around for deduction. He's a friggin' scientist, let's use that.

We'd need to buy the stuff to let him work as well. :)

So are we ready to move on and start saving the world?

Yep, just need to know if you have any thing you want to do specific before we continue...

Buy Familiarity with Inventor, and if there's enough 'time off' buy familiarity with codecs. 1/2 points

Buy PC. 2 points.

And then Taru is ready!

XP wise I think I'm Set story Wise Aegis would focus pretty much all her time on getting the base set up, making sure everyone was happy with their floor, and making sure her company could run more or less on its own.

**Edit**

Forgot, how much xp would a fake or real PI or FBI badge/papers be?

Violet's saving her XP for a while until she can dump a bunch into more END/STUN and some Martial Arts (Like, say, Martial Dodge).

Also, if the Team needs another point for vehicles/Base/whatever, I don't mind feeding it more points. :)

PI License : 2 points

Fake FBI badge/papers : 1 Pt (note, these won't hold up to actual scrutiny by anyone in the FBI/Police if they run your ID #'s).

I'm save my XP too.

I'm wondering if it would be worth it to buy Linguist (for 3 points, if I'm reading it right). If I did, it would kick up all my languages from conversational to fluent. Not sure if they'll ever come in handy, but it appears an efficient use of points.

Thoughts?

I definitely think so. I mean, my character is using the same number of points for having conversational cell phone signals. :)

Honestly I thought I'd already given you linguist.

If you did, I'm not seeing it on the sheet. Would it be somewhere other than under Skills, Perks and Talents?

You gave it to me, if that's what you're remembering. :)

It's definitely a valuable buy. Especially when you have as many languages as you. :)

Working on a mini-montage catch up post. Just saw MDT's latest clue to me. I'll add that in!

How much would a treadmill/hamster wheel-style generator cost us? ;)

LOL.

BTW, mdt, let me know if Rocket's had enough time/practice at this point to put 3 pts toward MD. If so, I'll take:

3 : "Quick thinking!" mental def 3 pts + (EGO/5) 3 = 6 pts Mental Defense

Whenever you finish up the changes to Rocket's sheet.

Thanks!

I'll let you know Rocket.

Whip, I think you missed as Spoiler I sent a day or so ago in game thread.

I caught it. I'm just factoring it in a little later since I played it as having just gotten off the phone with him.

Sorry everyone, travelling for work again, and had a much longer Monday than I expected (it started 7AM Sunday, and I didn't get to NY and into bed until 2:30 AM Monday). I'll be a bit spotty this week and next due to the travel.

Do what you gotta, boss!

We'll keep. :)

Yea we'll be here when you get back.

I just realized, if I keep growing Hotaru in the direction I am, it won't be long before she's running on Linux. ;)

The really hilarious thing (at least to me) about Violet's current Instant Girlfriend Act with Rocket is that she's convinced that Zach has a thing for Briana.

I mean, who wouldn't? Briana's a freaking angel and Violet thinks she's got such natural charisma, what man wouldn't go after her?

All that Ego and Presence, yowza.

She's so clueless. It's amusing.

:p I think you have most of the team beat on both of those statistics. :)

You're assuming Violet thinks she'd ever be of interest to anyone who wasn't a scientist or another telepath. ;)

One word: Coookiessss.

They are the most potent love potion known to man, it's true.

Not to diss the amazing power of homebaked cookies but...I picture Rocket getting shy in general when women are talking about guys being hot.

I like that Vi drew the assumption that he's into Briana when he blushed in that scene. If anything, Briana feels like the most "adult" of the women, and Rocket knows she's too grown up for him. Vi and Hotaru are both closer to his age, and he's more connected to them (Hotaru through comics/art, and Vi through her helping him train his mental resistance...and in the process reading to him most evenings). Of course, really, Zach may be a bit too young for them too! ;-) But he doesn't know that.

At any rate, it's a fun area to RP.

Hi all,
My apologies, this last week has been... stressful. I had to fly to another state to deal with a family issue. My father had to undergo a semi-routine medical procedure, but he had some sort of breakdown during the procedure. The doctors suspect it's from the anesthetic, it's put him in a state of dementia. We're hoping he will recover, but the week was extremely busy and very draining. I spent most of last night and today sleeping.

I'll try to get back to posting this week, as soon as I have energy to GM.

We'll be here, Kittyface. Take care of yourself.

The game is not as important as keeping you family and yourself safe and healthy. I don't want to speak for the rest of us, but I think we agree that we're all good until you're good.

Don't apologize for taking care of things that you have to take care of.

Vi and Hotaru are both closer to his age, and he's more connected to them (Hotaru through comics/art, and Vi through her helping him train his mental resistance...and in the process reading to him most evenings). Of course, really, Zach may be a bit too young for them too! ;-) But he doesn't know that.

Violet doesn't care about someone's age, just what their mind is like. Cliche, but true.

And don't forget, she DID offer to sit for him as an art model a while back.

You are so much better at solidarity than me. Words can't even describe. I just come across as an awkward mess. But like you said. We'll be here. :)

On the note about Vi and Hotaru being closer to his age, Saffron also is :). While she may be an extremely overeducated spoiled brat, she's still only twenty-two. :)

Yea we'll be here however long you need.

no need to apologize. Take your time, family comes first.

To echo the other players, family first. Take of yourself.

cheers

Best wishes, mdt. Take all the time you need.

I'm very sorry that your dad is experiencing some dementia after his procedure. That happened to another friend's father as well. I'm glad he has you looking out for him and I hope as you say that it's only temporary.

In the meantime, know that (as all have said) we'll be fine and you should take whatever time you need!

Now don't nobody go holdin' their breath, but I might actually have a commission of Violet soon, from this gent right here sometime soon.

Cool!

Pretty neat. The artwork seems a tad inconsistent, which is a little scary. But overall, the art is pretty darn good. You can really tell the difference between when he(she?) puts effort into it and when he just kind of lets things flow. Ironically, I like his sketch work more than the stuff he's worked hard on.
