I also learned how to exercise self-restraint, discipline, and to treat others with respect."</b></p>
<p>Looking about, he says, <b>"Most of this team doesn't have formal training, and those who do have it focused towards controlling their abilities. Hashtag needs to learn discipline and to use his abilities for more than wisecracking and spray painting billboards. Eldritch needs to learn not to be consumed by his power. Tectonic needs to learn when to rein her strength in. North Star needs to learn to ground himself in the identity of who he wants to be, not what he might become. Wingblade needs to learn that everything doesn't have to be on her just because we made her be the leader. Atoms has begun to make peace with who - and what - he has become, but he needs to move the rest of the way there. We all need to learn how to be a team. Atoms's idea will help with some of that, but the truth is, this will be a process and take time. If you guys can be patient, we can do the job. But it's going to take time on both of our parts.

<p>It's about comma placement. Since the "if they open up to you" appears after the second comma and the phrase "shift Labels", I interpreted that to mean that they can shift their Labels if they open up to you, but they mark potential or clear a condition as long as the roll is a hit. That's what the "On a hit, they hear you" phrase means. Not that they have to open up to you in order for it to succeed, regardless of roll. Otherwise, why bother having a roll at all?</p>Deputy Atoms wrote:Just to remind everyone~ Comfort/Support automatically fails if your target doesn't "open up to you".

He stops and thinks for a moment - and realizes she's right. Yes, this meant risking revealing to classmates at Franklin High that he was Ghost Dragon, which meant he might not be able to attend there anymore - course, given the damage done to the school, it would probably be closed for a while, anyway. Regardless, that meant nothing compared to someone else's life who might get sacrificed. Pulling out his phone, Ty texts Jameel, <i>Got out of the school when that crazy s#!& went down. Text you later.</i></p>
<p>Getting his costume back on, he stuffs his civvies into his backpack and heads back to the front of the building with it, moving through walls. Emerging, he walks over to Wingblade and says, <b>"I was going to cover my identity, but I think I'd rather not hang out in the janitor's closet waiting for some first responder to find me. We going to take some time to plan?"</b></p>

<p><i>D@&•, I wasn't fast enough.</i> Ghost Dragon glares at the spot where the Mage had been standing. <i>If only I'd gone looking for him instead of moving to save Tectonic. I might have stopped this.</i></p>
<p>He finds Wingblade's panic unnerving. He's never seen her like this. She was so solid and steady - this situation had really unnerved her. Alloy had taken Tectonic out, too, before she went down, and she wasn't moving. This was all going bad - wait, were those sirens? Of course, Adams had pulled the fire alarm, and no doubt students and teachers had called 911. And here stood Ghost Dragon, while Ty Jackson had disappeared. He was going to need to cover up - fast.</p>
<p>Atoms comes over and tells Ghost Dragon he needs to leave and get changed. Nodding, Ghost Dragon says, <b>"I was thinking the same thing. I'll catch up with you guys later tonight. Let me know if Eldritch finds anything."</b></p>
<p>As he runs into the school, he thinks, <i>I don't know that I'll be going to this school for a while - Tectonic and Panel really did a number on it. She needs to be more careful. I'll talk to her about it later. And after what happened to my block last night. Something's happening with this. Two occurrences that level my house and my school? Strains coincidence a bit, I think.</i></p>
<p>Ducking back into the janitor's closet, Ty changes back into his civilian clothes and stuffs his costume and communicator back into the hidden pouch in his backpack before curling himself up into a ball as though he'd been hiding there the whole time, and put on his panicked face, waiting to be discovered by some first responder or other.</p>@Atoms:I do love striking out drives.

Once the light passes, he blinks his eyes, trying to clear the spots from them as he shakes his head. Once he's able to focus and see, he looks up, and stares, slack jawed, at the the tableau before him. Atoms, unsuited, giving off red lightning from the mark on his chest where Eldritch had hit him. The collapsing debris is gone, and, looking over, the faculty, staff, and students who had been in the room look alright.</p>
<p>As the Deputy walks over and makes his comment, Ghost Dragon says, <b>"Yeah, I guess it might be."</b> He slowly stands up, not sure what to make of his new change. He seems more...confident...in himself. He just hopes that his friend doesn't take any negative flack for his choice.</p>
