I got you. There's a large metal suitcase/briefcase floating next to Attraction.
Quick mechanical question - if I accept her words would I mark one or two conditions?
Oh, wow. I didn't even realize you also had a -2 to your Savior. I honestly have no idea. I'll check the rules tonight to see if there's any mention of this happening, but for now I'll let the dice decide:
I think I read that the rule is that if by shifting labels you would go over +3 or under -2, you disregard the shift and mark a condition instead.
I had a chance to sneak a peek at my book, looks like it is just one. Or would've been...
Edit
Ninja'd!
Are we waiting on Isaiah to floor it?
So as I join Praetoria in the "Removed from the Scene by the same roll that gives you an Advance" club. I think I'm going to pick up a few new Flares: Constructs, Shielding, and Move.

Isaiah already made a move this 'frame'. He did so before Holly did.
I know... wondering why every one else got an update
Sorry! Work got busy and I couldn't get to everybody.
Update imminent.
Oh, sorry. Just thought You might be waiting for Isaiah to hop aboard the plan before you assumed it was happening
Please stand by, those of you who are out of the fight -- I want to get all the fights wrapped up and everyone back to deal with aftermath and fallout so bad. But there's still a few tense scenes that are too good to rush!
Oh I’m down and no rush. Just trying to skim to see if I’m mentioned. I’m avoiding reading everyone else’s to avoid any meta knowledge. Haha
No worries!
I'm definitely using the telepathic excuse to completely bypass the idea of meta knowledge though 0:-)
Loving the rp, everyone, so feel free to keep it up! However, try not to advance the scene too much time-wise, since my next big post will have the adult heroes show up. But that'll have to wait until tonight when I've got my keyboard. This is comic book time, so dialogue can fill whole panels that take a second. So chat away, but I still want it to feel like the adults are arriving very shortly after the bad guys fled.
Sounds good. If I post something you wanna hand wave off, by all means feel free.
Cool, though can I assume that Ballista flies off after Horizon gives her the case, freeing him up to use his comm?
Yes, absolutely, Horizon
Also, I noticed you cleared a condition yourself when you comforted Ballista. That's not how comfort/support works unless you roll a 10 or higher. So you managed to clear a condition from Ballista (yes, villains also take and clear conditions!), but not one from yourself.

I hit a 12 from that roll, so that's why I chose to clear a condition. Unless there's something different about him using his Innocent Move for that comfort on an NPC?
Okay, sorry. I must have miscounted the number of posts back, because I could have swore you had a seven... But that was for your first provoke. My bad.
Carry on, nothing to see here...
Dying over here at the hot mess going on inside Inquiry
Yep, definitely not getting flash-backs to middle school while writing it.
hopeless and insecure are not good conditions to stick in a room together.
*Group of Angry and Insecure superhuman teens try and fight bad guys, what could possibly go wrong*
*Group of Angry and Insecure superhuman teens try and fight bad guys, what could possibly go wrong*
That's Masks distilled to its truest essence.
NO SPOILERS! Purposely not reading yalls stuff. Lol!
I will say, this group in particular has more Potential Super Villain Red Flags than I'm used to.
The Chosen should definitely be some interesting long term adversaries...
Yeah Shard and the Chosen remind me basically of Magneto and the Brotherhood. Who I always enjoyed reading as villains.
Yeah. in my head, given her background and starting stats (D-1, F+2, Sv+1, Sp+2, M-1) I think Holly probably low-key is philosophically aligned with them, but strongly disagrees with their methods.
I could totally see Scorch going bad - I'm having fun with her and have all sorts of thoughts about directions she might end up going.
I plan on taking "Team? What Team?"
Don't worry, Holly. Inquiry/Isaiah knows it's real. It also knows that you don't know that Isaiah is actually a remotely controlled drone.
Though honestly, Isaiah/Inquiry dropped a few hints as to their nature in there. I'm wondering if Holly is going to start realizing that Inquiry seems to behave in a more organic fashion than Isaiah does, almost like it's more alive than the humanoid body.
Stalwart, I know I didn't really get to try my "Straight up creepin'" move. Not 100% clear if that's because it wasn't an appropriate time to try, or because I tried and missed (...and should therefore mark my 3rd potential).
Just let me know!
It wasn't really the appropriate time to try, but you missed anyway...
I'll give it a coin flip to see if you should get potential.
Point of clarification about comfort and support:
When you comfort or support someone, roll+ Mundane. On a hit, they hear you: they mark potential, clear a condition, or shift Labels if they open up to you. On a 10+, you can also add a Team to the pool or clear a condition yourself.
Does the requirement "if they open up to you" apply only to shifting Labels, or is does it apply to marking potential and clearing a condition too? (i'd guess yes?). The wording's a little unclear.
Scorch Silver Shield Embodies Superior and Denies Freak not Danger
Scorch Silver Shield Embodies Superior and Denies Freak not Danger
Whoops, will alter the +2 to Freak, probably fits better anyway.
If they open up to you applies to marking potential, clearing conditions and shifting labels. It even applies to the benefits you'd get for rolling really high - if they don't open up, the only thing that happens is they hear you. (Which can be important in some circumstances)
Psyche is correct. Comfort and Support's benefits hinge entirely on the other party opening up to you.
Cool, thought it was probably that.
In case anyone is curious, I created Captain Stalwart in high school (along with most of these characters). He's the reason my handle has been Stalwart for the last twenty years or so.
Oh, I figured as such. Hahaha
Maybe I misread, but I thought Mosaic was trying to clear Hopeless by throwing herself into easy relief with her interactions with Isaiah, not Ordnance.
I was. My bad, the syntax was ambiguous
Edited my post a bit, just to add a little extra flavor. I mean, Ness is ACTUALLY LITERALLY DYING RIGHT NOW.
I see it now, Mosaic. Yeah, sorry. For whatever reason, I read it as you were clearing Hopeless by hopping into Ordnance and receiving treatment.
But making out with Isaiah works for me. You can clear it.
So if we feel there's a reason to mark conditions, even if there's not a mechanical one, we can add conditions to ourselves, correct? Shin's feeling pretty Guilty and Hopeless right now, just want to make sure that's appropriate to do for him.
I *think* so? I couldn't find anything in the rules about simply adding a condition because you feel like it's appropriate, but I can see allowing you to choose to take one anyway.
D'oh! How do you want to resolve our overlapping posts Praetoria?
I figure it can stand as is. You ripping and me punching the hatch gives it no hope, and with my Unleash roll I am sure I easily power through your Field to prevent depressurization.
God I love a good RP scene. Hahaha!
