Clarification, please. Are the two zoanoids that Catrina sees living zoanoids we are all able to perceive or spirits of zoanoids?

Parker quietly asks Catrina, "Did Jessie say all zoanoids are capable of sensing her presence?" Catrina can feel Parker tense up slightly as he asks her the question, "How close do I have to get you for you to use your powers on them?"

Parker walks over to Catrina and wraps his arms around her, and his hair and feet flame on, "Ready to do some bad to do some good, <bella dama?>* "

* spoken in Spanish accent

He then shifts the two of them to 'spirit form' and hovers above ground waiting for Uthor to move the fog cover, and flies so that two of them remain in the cover as it moves.

"Yes." Parker answers then moves to stand beside the boom tube and extends an arm as he looks at Catrina and Jessie, "Ladies, first." as Chance and Uthor see the pupils of his eyes become tiny green flames.

<"Sir, are there reports of the first Young Justice team's missions we can read in our free time."> Parker thinks towards Cable.

Parker's flame aura dissipates as he extends his arm to greet the second newcomer, "Pleases to meet you, Chance. I'm Parker."

Parker then looks at Batman on the screen, "Sir, should we wait for Wayne and Timothy or head to Gotham City right away and the two of them can catch up to us when they get to school?"

Correct.

"Yes, members of our team. Has anyone seen Timothy or Wayne today"?

"Metal or wooden doors should not be a problem for me to phase two of you through at a time." Parker answers Uthor as he looks at him directly, then looks up at the ceiling, "but not concrete or glass."

Parker then looks at Catrina, "I can only carry one at a time so I can carry Catrina. The other flyers in the group can carry other non-flyers of the team."

Parker's hair alights with green flames, "Flight, phasing, protective flames," green flames cover all of Parker's body and extend from him to cause knee-high flames to surround each of his classmates. "which I can also use to surround a foe."

"Films. The Silver Screen. The boob tube. Screen projectors. What television shows have you watched? Movies are like t.v. shows but many are big budget affairs that get released at movie theatres first." Parker's face scrunches up slightly as he tries to puzzle out how someone might not know what a movie is.

Parker takes note of the words forced and human as he looks at Uthor, and listens as the others answer Uthor's question.

"Many enjoy eating popcorn while watching movies. Have you never been to a movie theater?

"Hi, Uthor. I'm Parker."

Parker wraps his arms underneath Catrina's and phases them out, "Heads up, we will be phasing through doors."

Parker beelines a flight path to the cafeteria exit, "Coming through!" he shouts to the other assembled students in the cafeteria, skimming over their heads. One older student (with enhanced strength) puts his arm up to stop Parker, as he winks at Catrina just before 'catching' them, but then gets a dumbfounded look on his face as Parker and Catrina phase though his arm.

Parker then flies higher to compensate for any other attempts of trying to snatch them out of the air, and they phased through metal part of the door to the stairwell and get to the meeting...before Jaime?

heads up: homefront situation is going to make posting as frequently as I have been a bit difficult for the at least the next two weeks. I will still try to make sure I am checking daily, but it might only be once per day instead of multiple times throughout the day until homefront stuff is more managaeable to return to checking multiple times throughout the day.

"Only our second day and we already have a mission,", Parker smiles at Jessie and Catrina.

Parker stands up from his chair and his hair and feet flame on and flies over the table and hovers over Catrina, "Want a lift?"

Parker is going to fly while 'ghost form' (with Catrina 'ghost form' too if she accepts the offer to fly).

Parker walks over and sits down at the table with his classmates, "I did. Thank you. That boom tube thing is pretty handy. I came to the caf right after I used it to get back to school."

Parker looks around the cafeteria to see if their other three classmates were in the large room, "I wonder if the others have boomed...tubed back to school yet?"

After scanning the cafeteria and not seeing their remaining classmates, Parker turns his attention back to his two female classmates, "I like your hair like that, Catrina. How was your first night on campus, Jessie?"

Welcome back.

Unexpected stuff on the homefront came up, that took up most of my free time today and will take up some of my free time for the next few days. Will still try to check and post daily.

The friend I was thinking of is too busy to commit to a daily posting PBP, but likes the idea of reading up on the gameplay when he has time, and if down the line if we want are looking for new players to join and his free time has opened up more, he would be potentially interested in joining.

I am still active.

Happy birthday!

Parker emerges from the boom tube and makes his way to the cafeteria to see if any of his classmates are in there having breakfast...

I hope they are okay.

Continue playing without recruiting or reopen recruitment, Elton?

What is everyone else having for breakfast?

I used the location of Mount Justice from the show for my last post - Happy Harbour, Rhode Island.

I totally forgot when I was doing the post that in-game the school is in Independence, Missouri.

Below is the sentence that should be swapped in for the revelant sentence.

His mother assures her son that she will make sure the phone booth remains active so her son can continue his schooling at Zion High.

Thanks. I do not recall if it was Kid Flash or Superboy who collected souvenirs from their missions...I want to say Kid Flash...and whoever is the souvenir collector putting them on the wall/book shelf in their room (which I think was in Mount Justice...).

Parker insists his mother sit down at the dining room table as he continues to make breakfast for her, his sister and himself.

"Mom, I got this." Parker flips the current pankcake in the one frying pan while flipping the thick-cut homefries in another pan and then scoops out the rest of the scrambled eggs from the third frying pan onto the platter he is using for the cooked eggs and potatoes. "Two minutes and breakfast will be ready. Sis, can you grab some glasses and the o.j. from the fridge. Thanks."

As the three of them are sitting and having breakfast Parker asks, "Old man Henry saw me exit the phone booth yesterday. Can you make sure he doesn't cause a stink about trying to get the only phone booth in town taken away, Mom?" His mother assures her son that she will make sure the phone booth remains active so her son can continue his schooling on the east coast of the continent.

"How has Dad's therapy been going since I left for the road trip to get to school?"

"Dad walked for three minutes unaided three days ago!" Parker's sister, Alana, answered. "The doctors told us they expect he needs to remain at the care facility for at least two more months before considering him healthy enough to walk all day long."

"That is the doctors said his physical mobility will return to a modicium of his former self, which will take at least two more months. My concern is how much of his brain injuries will heal. His words are still jumbled when he speaks. The specialists are not sure if his brain's speech centre will fully heal. His progress for comprehending speech is steadily improving though, so that is a good sign." Parker's mother, Dr. Daphne Song added to answer her son's question more in-depth.

"Did our ya-yas and cousins get to Walt Disney World yet?" Parker asks as he munches down on some fried potatoes.

"Not yet, they are taking their time stopping at places your cousins ask them too. They will probably arrive in Orlando by the end of the week." his mother answers.

"How was your first day?" Alana asks her older brother. "How many cute boys go to the school?"

"None that are young enough for you to date." Parker replies.

"Come on, Parker. I'm only two years away from high school. Maybe I will develop powers and they will recruit me too."

The possibility of his little sister fighting those monsters sends a shiver down Parker's spine. He composes himself before replying, "Maybe you will. Maybe you won't."

"I have to head out." Parker stands up, grabs his backpack and kisses his mother and sister on their cheeks, "Love you. See you after school." Parker then winks at his sister just before he phases through the hardwood front door of their house and walks the five blocks to get to the lone phonebooth in town, which is in the parking lot that was built for tourists to park that come to the town to surf. When Parker was younger he thought it absurd that the parking lot was built to provide parking for up to 50 vehicles, which is half the population of Jordan River. But considering how quickly those spaces fill up during summer weekends it is a wonder a second parking lot was never built.

Do our characters each have a private bedroom in Mount Justice, shared dorm-style bedrooms in Mount Justice or do we use the boom tubes each day to travel to/from the school?

Bring on the next day! :)

I wonder who our science teacher is going to be...

Thanks.

Is the current scene ready to wrap up and send us to our next class?

"How do we use the phone booths to get back to school? Is there a special code we dial?"

I think we are waiting for the specifics on how to use the boom tubes to travel to our hometowns and back to the school.

We saw Cable press some buttons and then the Batman appeared via the boom tube.

How many boom tubes are there in the special gym?

Cable and the Batman's answer not phasing him, as he expected the answer to be no. Parker hopes he accomplished what he wanted to by asking the question - which was to let the girls know he puts thoughts into dates (aside staying in and watching movies, though his questions asking them what sort of genres they like to watch might've indicated that he looks for something that they would both enjoy watching).

Insight check to see if it occurs to Parker that with the group being told the Batman is not on the faculty, is going to assign missions to the team, knows about the fight with the Zoanoids, if the Batman is here to assign the new Young Justice team their first mission. Insight or Investigation, I think would make sense as the possible skills to use for this particular circumstance. Insight +3 or Investigation +0 (Parker has Jack-of-All-Trades so can make skill checks for all skills). Looking at the Diffculty Class tabe on page 13, the highest DC for this particular check would probably be average (DC 10) as the next DC is tough, which seems would be too high given the circumstances.

Insight: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Are you here to give us our first mission, sir?" Parker asks the Batman.

Parker, looking at Catrina, "Sounds like I'm going to be taking you flying more than just around the school yard." His irises of green flame trick activate, though this time Parker winks at her with his right eye, and as his right eyelid opens back up, only his left iris has the flame trick active.

A thought occurs to Parker, and he asks Cable, "Sir, are we only allowed to use the boomtubes to travel to our hometowns and back to school...when we're not on missions that is. It is honour to be chosen, sirs. When we don't have class and are not on missions, are we allowed to use them to, say, go see broadway play in New York City with a classmate?"

Parker extends his hand to the Batman, "Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Parker." Parker then steps aside so his classmates can introduce themselves.

After his classmates have introduced themselves, Parker asks Cable, "There's a boomtube in the quaint seaside hamlet I am from? How long has that been there? Oh, did you mean Victoria, B.C. for my hometown?" Parker starts thinking of the possible places that such a device might be hidden in Jordan River.

"Do they create a sonic boom when used, professor?"

Does the public at large know about the Justice League's Watchtower orbiting Earth?

Parker smiles in response to Catrina's giggle.

"I was just speculating. I don't know if he is going to have us do more competitions. The basic competitions for regular gym classes are the track and field events. For students with powers, I would not be surprised if there are flying races. Lifting vehicles might be part of testing students with powered strength," Parker's left eybrow raises slightly, "Enhanced strength? Superstrength?"

Parker ponders Jessie's answer regarding tattoos, wondering if her shrug indicated that she might like to get a tattoo if her body would not reject the tattoo ink.

"Should you ever want to wear some nice inkwork there are clothing sleeves with inkwork designs on them. Most of the ones I have seen are not the best quality, though I have seen a few high-quality ones."

Before Parker is about to describe some of the high-quality ones he has seen, Cable's voice comes over the PA system.

Parker starts making his way to the special Gym with his classmates.

"The coach had us have a foot race. I wonder if he's going to have the flyers amongst us have a race through the air. What other competitions do you think he might have us do?"

Parker then thinks about the most enjoyable thing during gym class so far, which was seeing the pure joy on Catrina's face. "Catrina, if you ever want to go flying again, let me know."

More white of Parker's eyeballs can be seen as Jessie says how long she was in the ICU for.

"Most of those animals would make cool tattoos. I plan to get a memoriam tattoo for two of my grandfathers who saved others from a shark. I haven't decided on the specific design yet. I also want to get memorial tattoos for my other grandparents who have passed away. Do you have any ink?" Parker asks Jessie, before extending the question to the rest of his classmates, "Does anyone else have any tattoos?"

"Nature documentaries, eh? What are your favorite animals? That sucks that you were in the ICU. I know that's no fun. My father was in the ICU for months while they were attaching skin grafts to half his body. How long were you in there for?" Parker's genuine compassion is evident by his facial expression.

"Have any of you watched the movie My Science Project?"

I think the reason there was a week between this post and the next one is that this does not answer the question. The question, "Did the zoanoids leave their dead?" is not answered by "Cable told them to return."

That is why I waited 5 days for another character to post before I posted in gameplay again (as Parker was waiting for a response from one his classmates).

I'm really enjoying the game so far and want it to keep going!

ditto

"Thanks," Parker tells the student and makes his way to class with his new classmates.

After emptying the contents of his tray into the appropriate bins and receiving Cable's response, Parker asks a couple of student sitting at a table near the bins, "Hi, there. I'm new. Could you please tell me where the science class rooms are located?". Parker's question can be heard by his fellow classmates (and other nearby students).

Parker puts his fork down and starts eating his second cheeseburger faster than the first one, after his first two bites, with his mouth clear of food, "We have 10 minutes before we have to get to class."

After he finishes the burger, he quickly eats the rest of his fries and gravy, and picks up his sprite with one hand the caf tray in the other and finishes his drink as he makes his way to the garbage and recycle bins.

<"Which class room are we in next, professor?">

Parker is waiting for one of his classmates to answer his question.

If none of them answer within a minute, he directs a thought at Cable, <"How much longer do we have for lunch, professor?">

"The zoanoids left their dead behind?"

Did they, GM? Cable controlled them telepathically it seems like, but did he make them leave? If not, did any of us (sans Parker) see what Cable did with the zoanoids?

Parker finishes his first burger, grabs his fork and stabs it into his gravy-covered fries and savors the first bite. After his mouth is clear, he takes a sip of his Sprite before asking Catrina, "Can you force a soul to leave their eternal reward of the Elysium Fields," Parker pauses briefly before adding, "Heaven or whichever realm of the dead they went to after they died if they don't want to leave?" Parker's facial expression makes it seem he is worried that her answer will be yes.

After getting his food and getting out of the serving line, Parker pauses walking to scan the students currently in the cafeteria, looking for anyone that he might find common ground with that is not a religious zealot, when he hears Timothy call out to him.

<"He can speak normally."> Parker thinks as he starts walking over to where his classmates are seated. <"For both of our sakes, I hope he does not spout off any religious talk while I try to enjoy my food."> Parker smiles at the students who look at him as he passes by their tables. <"It'd be a shame for us to get expelled on the first day.">

Parker sits down in the offered chair, hoping it isn't a trap, "Thank you."

After Parker takes a couple bites from one of his cheeseburgers, his mouth clear of food, he asks his classmates, "What did you do with the zoanoids?"
