Kid Quickman's page

Sorry, I missed all of this. I cleared all my conditions during battle, so I’m good on that front.

I take a long, hot shower, washing away the intrusion. Then I call my father to do my own damage control, making sure “I” didn’t do anything that got back to him.

When I rejoin the group, the discussion of a party puts me at ease. Food would be excellent. This has been quite a day. Let’s order in, maybe watch something on TV?

That's a good point, Sol. Let's take a breather, get some food...take a shower...and then we can discuss plans.

As the group piles out, I say So, anyone want to go track down the super villans who got away yesterday?

[dice=Pierce the mask]2d6+1

Sorry, my edit didn't save. This is what I intended to say

This is an outrage. I quickly scan my memory to think of anything I can use as leverage on her, like I did with Omnirangutan. Dad gossips. A LOT.

How can I gain influence over Mirror?

Pierce the mask: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5) + 1 = 8

Yupperoni

Ok so my read is “angry parental figure” not “secret super villain looking to hurt us”

Something didn’t sit right. Her phrasing was all wrong. And why was she wearing armor?
Pierce the mask: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1) + 1 = 7
What is she really planning?

Have I met Mirror before?

Relieved, I settle into the machine. Will some luck, I'll be...me again very soon.

I nod, handing my mask to Tox, then return to my quarters to change into some street clothes that I think would fit Tox's frame ok, then make my way to Mirror's address (provided by Turnabout).

Yeah, I thought he was suited up. I'll trip-balls if that makes for a better story though

I look to Tox (in Sorrel’s body) and mouth No costumes. That ok?

You and me both. I feel like I've been in Tox's body longer than I've been in my own!

"I was wondering why my legs looked so bulgy. I thought that's just how I normally look!

I think we're all in the same room together. I don't know what's become of Elsine, but I think we can freeplay for a bit.

I walk in with Sorrel in my body. "Great news everyone! Look who I found.. I'm feeling quite relieved that my suspicion about Sorrel's motives were wrong...and a little ashamed.

As much fun as I'm having being Tox, and believe me, I'm having SO much fun...but...can Mirror help us out? I miss showers and getting dressed with my eyes open.

Not yet, but I think Mirror might help. Let’s get back to the common room. We were worried sick.

did I notice? 1 is yes: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Maybe check "Quentin's" room too?

I go to the institute with whomever joins me.

Mine or his? And why would he just...leave? Something is wrong. Should we go to the institute? We can maybe use their answer override and force a call in

Something is really wrong. It's not like...Kid Quickman...to just drop off like that. Do you think he's maybe in trouble?

The same reason it is in the comics: good lawyers, crooked cops, heroes who won’t kill, the difficulty is prosecuting arrests made by masked vigilantes

@ "Solmira" Yeah, we locked him down, thanks. I'm sorry Acerbic slipped you but that happens. Hey...you haven't seen Kid Quickman, have you?

It's becoming painfully clear that Ricardo isn't coming back. This...this is bad.

Why isn't he picking up? Do...you don't think he...stole my body?

Oh right! That guy!

Richardo{KQ}

As you sit there, a person with inconsistent length hair dyed scarlet and indigo, at least 3 facial piercings, and Quite a bit of makeup, walks in, wearing something that looks like it was taken from Bowie's rejects pile. He walks up to the counter, and greets the server by name, asking for the usual.

they go to wait, and spot you. Quentin? Quickman's kid? they say, friendly, jovially even, but Loudly Wow, huge fan, What are you eating? They take a seat and lower their volume considerably I sure hope you aren't hiding out here to avoid Quicksilver, because that would be... very inadvisable

Who is Quicksilver? Lucy's codename is Slipstream. Grandma is Lady Quick.

I help my teammates get to their feet.

I click the communicator to an open channel.

"Michael", "Kid Quickman" do you read? I think this situation under control. Are the hostages safe? Any luck making contact with Acerbic?

Stable enough that with my heaving and lifting we can get them free?

I can't get you lose! If only I could vibrate you free...

Bump

Not even a question. I rush over to the wall and start digging my team out.

Mi...Mira. Solmira. Go get Acerbic. I've got this!

I'm not bothering with powers, just digging out.

Am I close enough to help Jae-Lin and Solmira?

I’ll take afraid

Is Katananball knocked out yet?

There might be some bad repercussions from calling too much attention to the fact that Ricardo is skipping out on Xochiquetzal's plans and leaving someone else to suffer his punishment. I'll take the doom point.

Wait, what?

I look helplessly toward my body rushing out. I hope he’s just getting the hostages safe but I have a bad feeling about this. I could stop him, but if I do then both Tox and Sorrel will be hurt.

I sigh and rush into Katananball hard.

Directly engage, using savior: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8

I’ll give Tox/Sorrel an opportunity as Katananball and I smack each other around

Absolutely not. I refuse to kill someone. I disperse the swarm...

I'm always so hesitant to use team for my own purposes.

I take a deep breath and expand my senses, to see if I can connect with...

BEEEEEEEEEES: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 5) - 1 = 9

A swarm of bees flies at Katanonball, hopefully distracting him long enough to help the hostages.

I’d prefer the effect to be temporary/unstable to taking another condition. I’m condition-heavy as is.

They are to him...

It doesn’t matter what they think of me, as long as I shut you down.

I slam him hard into the wall so he’ll stay down.

engage, savior: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 = 11
Resist his blows and create an advantage for my allies

Guilty. I can’t believe I damaged Tox’s body! Did my bullrush clear insecure?

I narrow my eyes and rush straight at Katanonball, barreling into him.

[dice=engage a threat, using savior per my "fight the good fight" move]2d6+3[/dice]
I'll use my hold to take something from him, getting sliced up a bit to get his swords away from him. Is bull rushing a sword-wielding immortal "foolhardy" enough to count to clear insecure?

I could resist, but I'm -2 to do so...and if I fail, I'm nearly knocked out. I don't think anyone is close enough to help me. Not worth it. Give me my condition and I'll make my next move based on that.

Yeah, it doesn't quite line up, but that's SORT OF how it works in The Veil so it's not unheard of. GM: What's my condition?

Sorry, missed this update. Remind me what happens if my danger dips below -2? I know I get a condition but...then what? Does it stay -2? Reset to 0?

Whooooops

As Tox, I excuse myself from class, leave campus and find a secluded spot in which to change. Keeping a secret identity is HARD.

I keep my distance and try as best as I can to...what...summon bugs? Is that what he does? Will the bugs tell me what is waiting for us?

unleash: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
No. No they will not. Do I mark potential from a miss?

Should we all go, or just the bodies of the ones called out? I don't want to escalate the situation any more than needed...

Katannonball BTW, what the hell are his powers?

Flight+invulnerability+swords. Duh.

I eye the communicator, watching the video. I dash off a quick message to “my” comm. You going to go? Want backup?

Ooooooooh man don’t you daaaaaaaaaaaare
