[OOC] MASKS- A New Generation

[Raijinslayer]

@GreyOkay, then Ian might just burn/squash every bug he sees as a preventive measure. As for the bug thing, I think since bugs are natural creatures, they should count. But yeah, 'flies don't give a fuck' makes sense.

Honestly, standard issue equipment for the team should just include a can of Raid.

Super raid. Demon bug raid. ^^ Alex carries a canister in her bag.

"I want to believe that they exist, Alex. I want to believe, and I want to ride one. And it's name would be. . . Paco. It's a name that will send shivers down the spines of all who hear it."

I was ordered by my mentor to start this thing. I do not know how putting my thought process on the paper can help with the problems she thinks I have. In the end, orders are orders. I’ll update this journal on a weekly basis, describing my previous encounters and, for some reason, my daily life outside the mask. I don’t think this is such a good idea.

Dragoon. I am perfectly sure this is what on everyone’s mind. I took part in the whole takedown, but unfortunately, I was preoccupied with my mentor at the time, taking care of tasks other than the main battle itself. I did watch the recordings, though, and those are interesting, to say at least. It’s uncommon for a heavy-hitter of such caliber to be taken down not by a professional hero or even a team, but by a group of super-powered teen who seem to be somewhere around my age.

However, I find the whole clash troubling. I have seen power - that’s true - but without finesse. I may have refused my past, but some lessons still linger, ingrained into my core. And the basic one of them is that power without a direction or control always ends with a calamity. I hope this is simply me being paranoid again.

I should never let Nucleus read those words.

The latest development was proven to be worthwhile. It seems that after the whole Dragoon fiasco, Lodestar decided to take all affiliated under her wing. I decided to join on this venture, if only to let Nucleus have eyes and ears inside the team. It seems that she is somewhat troubled with that new hero, Swarm. I must admit that I understand how she feels: the girl’s power has a lot of potential, but her motives are not clear yet. I am to keep an eye on her for the time being.

Also, according to Nucleus, “it will good to have you communicate with other teenagers.” I am unsure how to take this.

Network Journal, 29

Alea iacta est. The die is cast. I now have a task of finding and gathering super-powered individuals for the Lodestar’s team. It proved to be quite a challenging task, but I didn’t hone my detective skills for nothing. I safely contacted Guardians-affiliated supers, but finding Swarm was harder. I still found a solution: a simply sign seemed to be effective, just how I predicted.

I don’t know why my mentor stated laughing after I told her about my progress. In the end, the team was complete. I don’t know many of them, despite the occasional team-ups, but I’m sure that the power lies in numbers. And yet, I fill a bit pessimistic about the whole ordeal: we are so different, after all,

P.S. I should order some bug spray later. And holy water.

[Tengri]

@Grey

It does, no only simply bothered to check.

[Grey]

@Tengri Get the two in one Blessed Bug Spray

[Hyper Harlequin]

If Riley and Ian had a kid, would it be a demon alien bug? o~o

[Grey]

@Hyper Harlequin And to build off that question: how much money would Hana get for babysitting?

[Tengri]

@Grey

"I don't know for sure, but if they take after their father, they sure would be a pain in the backside."

[Hyper Harlequin]

@Grey
"I'd be able to offer a favor of equal value, maybe? My people have a reputation based economic policy."

[Raijinslayer]

@Hyper Harlequin@Grey@Tengri*que uncharacteristically quiet voice*_{"Could we, like, not have this conversation?"}

[Tengri]

@Raijinslayer

"... I missed another social cue, didn't I?"

[Ermine]

@Grey Valid point. Technically, attracted to Hana. Could have the most awkward love triangle ever. Would literally go from triangle to line with no one leaving. >.> AND IT'S ALL IN HER HEAD. That's another thing that would make it weird. No matter how many hints she drops. AND THEY CAN'T EVEN HAVE KIDS (or...maybe? Andrea can take powers from other playbooks temporarily, so..."poof, I'm a dude now. I'm shortening my life for you. If that's not a hint..." >.>) -shrug- Dunno. I should be sleeping. Hana/Andrea kid. O_O Cursed, for one, but can make little psychic clothes and dress up the insects, and move them around wherever...)

Edit: I shouldn't talk when I need sleep.

[Raijinslayer]

@Tengri"No, no, just not quite comfortable with this subject. Can we go back to demon bugs?"

[Tengri]

@Raijinslayer

"Of course. Also, no. No demon bugs. Not at my base, at least."

[Raijinslayer]

@Tengri"Fine, Paco probably wouldn't like it there anyway. Oh, and Nucleus, you wouldn't happen to have any books on how to get to the Underworld/Hell by any chance, would you? Also, thoughts on the demon bugs."

[Tengri]

@Raijinslayer

"She can't hear you. I found and hacked her microphone. It now plays opera. And we aren't exactly on speaking terms now. I do have some books about the underworld, though."

[Raijinslayer]

@Tengri"Sweet."

[Tengri]

@Raijinslayer"Indeed. However, those aren't free. I expect an equal favor in return. Combat maneuver training. I expect you in the training room by five. Don't be late."
