At the moment, I'm a little at a loss for what Hotaru should do. So I figure she's probably also at a loss. Combine that with it being RP night (and me heading out soon), and I won't hold you up. If anything does pop up, I'll be happy to hop into spoilers. :)
I think I've done everything I need, Aegis is going to St Louis regardless of who else joins her once her background stuff is taken care of
Is our current silo on the outskirts of St Louis? Or elsewhere?
All right. I'm ready to move on. I'm sure if there's more with Violet we can spoiler the convos.
Just saw that this was posted a couple days ago. They look very close to what I've envisioned! These are awesome (maybe a little smaller than Whip's).
Yeah I'm good, too. Spoilers can be had. I'm kind of digging all the personal bonding stuff. We need to have chess nights. Teach each other strategy. Get Rocket slowing down his thoughts so he can plan. He'd be unstoppable if he had tactics training. :)
The Silo is about 6 hours from St. Louis
Very cool! Just showed my daughter. And I love that the artist makes her living making these.
Out of curiosity, did Whip see my Violet post where Vi asks for hand-to-hand training? I can post a quote if you like.
Alrighty, until an uptick in new information, I'm good to continue. :)
Side note: The thing that was making Taru at a loss was trying to determine whether to go try to perk up whip, or actually get vital information. :P Glad she didn't have to choose.

I did see it, it just got swallowed up by the other drama going on and I never got around to addressing it. Sorry! I'll post something spoiler-ed.
Edit: I changed 'Hotaru' to Pulse. As Hotaru is a force of habit, it'll come up pretty often. I did notice that Violet had uses Hotaru's real name. I figure she's probably shared that much of her name by now, so I'm not too worried about the team calling her that. :)
Also, Also. I saw the new last page on the metahumans stuff.
Things I would like to spend Hotaru's points on, in order:
Teamwork, Psychology, Radio-based Earbuds for her friends.
After that, I think she'll try to learn how to Martial Block... and then after that, she'll probably try to expand her powers a bit.

Violet tries to use everyone's first name in non-Super situations. She read somewhere that it builds teamwork and trust. :)
For those curious ;)
True story: I'm playing my Superhero Game playlist right now, and as I started my post, Kryptonite started playing. SPOOKY!
I just went to the St. Louis Radio Station I think Hotaru will listen to most, and it was the first song played. ;)
Is it safe to say that Driving does not require a roll unless you're doing some sort of stunt?
Likewise, the only reason Pulse isn't driving, if that's the case, is because if she turns on her power, she'll nuke probably-important portions of the delivery truck. :)
You need Transport Familiarity with the vehicle you are driving. It's assumed if you have TF : Small motor vehicles that you have a driver's license. The delivery truck is still 'small motorized ground vehicle', basically like a u-haul truck or UPS truck.
18-wheelers are 'large motorized ground vehicles'.
From what I can see... we have no one with training in the operation of any sort of vehicle. Except Hotaru. Who can totally drive a bicycle. :)
10) TF: Small Motorized Ground Vehicles
Ah, so the 'everyman' skills, even with 0 ranks in them count?
Well, I've got all sorts of driving skills. Kinda ironic.
Yep, they do.
@Base - The 'suggestions' from the group are just that, suggestions. They don't know about Violet and Aegis's resources. If either of them want to get something nicer, they have the resources to do so.

Note to self: Look up 'Combat Piloting'... and everyman skills. I was supposed to do that before. But... bed.
FYI - At this point, we can go into planning/working mode in character. In other words, you don't have to play out the first day in town. You can all plan out what to do and such, in discussion, and then post what you do the first week or two in town. I don't see any reason to take 6 months to plan out your first few weeks in St. Louis.

Montaaaaaage! MONTAGE! Gotta have a MONTAAAAAGE!
Also, any objections to a few more rounds of conversation to get folks talking, while we plot our plans here?
Not quite, you need to plan what you want to do... As a group...
Did I miss the part where we got experience points? Because I'm not sure what we're allowed to have in a base that's assumed and what we have to buy, and how much we have to spend.
If we're going with the farm, I think a big barn would be nice for indoor aerial practice and sparring (as long as we're careful. It won't stand up to much). Although, looking at the tutorial, I'm not sure why being outside the city is so expensive. Can someone explain that?
Wilderness: Think Castle of Solitude.
Suburb: Think Wayne Manor.
City: Think Titan's Tower.
You pretty much never hear about things happening in the castle of solitude.
The only people who screw with Wayne Manor are the folks that would come up there to mess with Bruce Wayne.
Titan's Tower is pretty regularly in the middle of everything and only stands through effort of the people involved.
Does that make sense? :)
Yep. Makes sense (even though that doesn't explain the X-Men Mansion, since it gets attacked -- and destroyed -- about every other issue). :)
They're -really- high profile, though, to those in the know. I'm fairly sure the Fortress of Solitude is a well-kept secret, and Batman has a secret identity, etc. At one point people just know the X-Mansion is a freak academy. :P
I really do think the farm is the best idea. While other characters took it as an insult, it's really for the best because it's out in the middle of nowhere. For a few CP we can also buy up a ton of acres around it. It'll leave plenty of space for adjustment and such as well.
We could totally buy something in town, but that's more likely to be noticed/raided/inspected, etc. And having a place for Whip to fly in such a place seems really hard. Compare and contrast to having acres upon acres of land, a few interconnected silos, that sort of thing. Having a bunker and a training room hidden somewhere on the property likewise wouldn't turn heads, compared to if the same were in a city.
Alternately, if we really wanted to build in the city, we could look into where old subway lines were, and dig down into those to provide free space. Maybe they'd even let us call in Dig and Dug to help. :)
Farm does sound like the best bet, plus I can scare the cows!
You can also 'split' the base between two different areas. That is, have one in the city, one in the country. You pay the more expensive location, and allocate space between them.
Aegis would hate a farm but if the party picked it she'd follow along
Splitting could work. One could be a "safe" house.

EXP has been given out.
Note, you can split the base or split the points into two bases. Either works for me, you have a good bit of points for it, so that's not too bad a deal. A small safe house farm outside town, and a more substantial base in town using Aegis's and Violet's money.

No such animal, STL uses light rail, not subways.
The internet has lied to me! *shakes fist*
Well, without subway that means less to worry about with digging, maybe? :)
If you do a search of Subway and St. Louis, you get Subway Restaurant locations. :)
If you do a search of Subway System St. Louis, you get the info on the light rail. :)
I searched for Subway System and it gave me 'Metro' which I thought was the same thing :p
So... maybe mislead is more accurate. :)
Metro Light Rail. :) You should click on the links. :)
I did! I even opened PDFs to look at maps! I had no idea I needed to look for pictures!
LOL
Depends on the world. This world? Not a chance. I like -not- being locked up. :) Ditto for Real World. :p

So judging by the "EXP" tab on the "Known Metas" sheet, we're at 8 each, with no individual Roleplay awards as yet.
Please throw 4 of those at Base needs for me. :)
I think he already Yoinked 4 points from each of us. :)
I'm on the same front, and I think everyone else is, too, in other words. ;) Vehicles and Base stuffs.
But the question then, is what do we want within the bases?
And what sorts of vehicles?
It'd be a good idea to get a bus or semi if we had a driver. Or just a limo. Since that's what Sinclair is going to force people to drive her around in ;)
But remodeling the interior of a semi's trailer into something comfortable to lounge in while our winged and gooey friends are being transported would be neat. I'm open to suggestions for better options there, as well. :)
