He was wearing an army-green T-shirt that was looking like a [i]smedium[/i] stretched over his bulk, black basketball shorts, and flip flops. He was rubbing at his eyes, gazing at a white glowing map of Platform City. There were oscillating waves on a graph above the city, measuring the threat level. It seemed to be growing by the second. [color=1a7b30][i]What are you clowns doing there?[/i][/color] Guile mentally grumbled. It was 2 o’clock in the morning. It was odd seeing some goody-goody heroes get involved in underground fighting. Then again, he remembered how several of them were formerly addicted to the [i]Smash.[/i] [b]…We have an M-Virus infected villain attacking us right now. Coordinates attached, send reinforcements.[/b] Guile tapped a few touch buttons on the console table and downloaded the coordinates sent by Varrock. A red spot appeared on the map, showing the heroes literally underground. Perhaps in the subway system somewhere. No surprise there. Guile tapped the red spot, and the hologram zoomed in showing several red dots—like fleas—sprouting around the large one that he figured was the queen. A weighted scowl creased the lines heavily on Guile’s face. He pressed a button and responded to the Nightstalker, [color=1a7b30][b]“Listen closely Varrock; and be sure to relay this to the rest of you yahoos keepin’ me up at night. You guys can’t let that thing escape. If it reaches the surface, it could infect the whole town. We don’t have a cure for it yet, so if the situation requires you to take a life that ain’t the enemies’s, but the person’s infected, then you must do what needs to be done to protect this city. Understand? If they’re innocent, but infected, yes, I am telling you to not spare anyone.”[/b][/color] [color=1a7b30][b]“The reinforcements I’m gonna send are gonna be creatin’ a checkpoint at each of the possible exits. Nothin’ will go in and nothin’ will come out without a thorough check or neutralization. That’s all I’m givin’ you. So you champs better not fail me.”[/b][/color][hr] Minecraft Steve was struggling with the Egg Stealer. The block man tried to pin the energetic creature down, but its blurring movements, even when squirming were enough to allow the thief to slip free of the block man’s clutches. In a streak of blue, the thief seemingly fled the main area…in the direction of where Shantae and Robin had taken the survivors. In the dark tunnel of the Subway, several of the survivors were complaining and fussing about how they didn’t get to claim the money from their bets and how they had wasted their money. The tunnels were nearly pitch-black without proper lighting. A few of the survivors were using lamp apps on their phones. [color=8882be][i]Hehehehe….[/i][/color] “What the fuck was that?” “That sounded creepy…” [color=8882be][i]Hehehehe…[/i][/color] “Where is it coming from!?” “Who’s fuckin’ around!? Stop that shit!” The shrill giggle had then suddenly dropped into an ominous depth. [url=http://img12.deviantart.net/3cbf/i/2014/060/7/b/extraneous_noise_in_the_kitchen_by_moppaa-d78fvh6.jpg][i]Hahahaha![/i][/url] There was a pair of white gleaming eyes and a wide toothy smile, appearing like a Cheshire cat in the dark. One of the survivors screamed in terror as they were suddenly snatched up and stuffed into a black sack that had spiraling rows of triangular teeth descending into what appeared to be a bottomless bag. “FUCK! RUN!” the stampede of screaming and panicking survivors spurred a wave of chaos and disarray. The crowd would trample the heroes if they were not careful. [color=ed1c24][i]Hahahaha![/i][/color][hr] Rock, energy, and gunfire sent the hulking Gnasty Gnorc flying backwards and making a second hole through the concrete wall. The brute was buried in a pile of rumble as he laid there seemingly defeated, but his barreled-chest trembled with laughter. Sitting upwards, the rubble tumbled away revealing the creature with hardly a scratch from such petty attacks. [color=ed1c24][b]“Is that all you got?”[/b][/color] Gnasty chuckled. He rose from the rubble as rocks from the shattered flooring tumbled from his shoulders and clattered down his scales. He clicked his teeth, his eyes momentarily burning red. [color=ed1c24][b]“Let’s see how much virus you can handle.”[/b][/color] Gnasty crossed his arms before his chest and his scales once again splayed before firing like machine-gun fire into the gathered group. The Gnorc didn’t relent this time. He fired scale after regenerating scale. His green, slimy blood starting to spill and drip from the sores expanding from his flesh from him excreting so much virus. The minion Gnorcs who were still alive received several inoculations. The scales protruded from their bodies like quills, and the viral overdose caused their bodies to grotesquely warp. Screaming in what sounded like pain and distress, the creatures swelled and their bones cracked. Limbs budded spontaneously from their bodies that [url=http://geekandsundry.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/gibbering-mouther.jpg]fattened and oozed across the floor in a horrific, mutating blob;[/url] and if the heroes attempted to take cover, these crawling monstrosities would try to grab hold of them in their claws, tentacles, and teeth to assimilate them. [hr] [center][h3]XP Initiated![/h3][/center] [b]GM Note:[/b] From here on out, all players will be required to keep track of their word count. XP will be awarded every GM post. Be sure to check the XP hider to see how much XP your character earned. Remember to keep your CSes updated. I have seen players slack in keeping their XP up-to-date and they have lost XP points because of it. I didn't take the XP away from them, they just didn't keep track of the XP on their own. It is YOUR responsibility if you want your character to level. [h3]P.O.[/h3] [i]If a player is inactive for more than 3 days without letting the GMs know of any delays, then the player can be skipped over on the 4th day. If a player does not wish to post, then they can Mention the GM and let the GM know he or she "Passes" on his or her turn.[/i] [b]P.O.:[/b] Steve, James, Slayer, Robin, Shantae, Naija, Fox, and Cloud.
