All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

I will be flying tomorrow, but I will hope to write something while on the plane.

And Angel would say:

"You're all crazy!"

@Athinar

And my answer to Angel would be that you have to be a tad bit crazy to survive this world.

So Mr. Creepy McLongneck has apparently attracted some attention that he may not have wanted....

@nitemare shape

And he would say to Not-Doctor Doom, "Bring it!"

I have a feeling that Angel might try and throw his wrench in the works of this little team-building exercise, simply of the virtue of it being a S.T.R.I.K.E. mission.

@Athinar

It doesn't sound like a STRIKE OP, more Iron Knight recruiting those he feels can aid him, but of course Angel might not know that.

Also just noticed your new avatar. Cthulhu for President, can't be any worse than who we have running already.

@VATROU

Vatrou is correct. While Iron Knight is affiliated with S.T.R.I.K.E., the meeting at Settler's Clearing (and therefore the assignments) were not.

So..who's going to try to recruit her?

@nitemare shape

I know who isn't. Iron Knight. ;)

Icon will go for sure. Chris needs to take advantage of the fact that Icon basically knows everyone (kind of an exaggeration, but still true).

Maybe War-Pulse if he mentions that he knows Arachne. Maybe Wasp, mattering on how well Lyger and Radiance's task goes. I planned that Arachne's recruitment would happen after War-Pulse and the Albany heroes.

Does it involve fondling in any way?? I'm sure it does..

@VATROU

No...at least it is not planned. *gives the evil eye towards @Kalistar*

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

This is very true

@nitemare shape

I can't wait until we recruit Arachne. I already have a rough draft of my set-up post for that situation. :)

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

So I guess Kali and I will head off to Albany to find Zac and the others. I'll get started on my part for that in the next day or so. I guess we'll be taking a STRIKE transport to NY

@nitemare shape

Or it could be a private plane provided by Arthur, since S.T.R.I.K.E. is not involved with this little meeting.

Waitaminute...what have I missed? :::Rushes off to get caught up IC:::

@nitemare shape

-Thunderbolt was eyeing Radiance.
-Boom was eyeing Icon.
-Radiance was eyeing Icon.

Uhhhh..... Okay. I can work with this. This can work. It totally didn't shift my plans from "Have real talk with War-Pulse and find a new base" to "HOLY SHITBALLS IT'S THE JUSTICE LEAGUE."

@Athinar

@Dedonus Like @Athinar said, we can work with this, you guys go ahead with your plan, and Athinar and I can plan accordingly. I'm still hoping we get our real talk down before you show up, but if not we'll roll with the punches.

@NeutralNexus

Sorry. Kind of misread the War-Pulse post. I thought you both went your separate ways. You guys can finish it.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Post up. @Kalistar@NeutralNexus@nitemare shape: So, how do you all want to move forward with these two missions?

@DedonusIcon does seem to attract plenty of attention, from every gender. Good for him. Thankfully Eva isn't head over heels for him, to be honest I haven't thought about what her type might be.

@VATROU

Well, someone needs to get some attention other than Arachne.

Christopher Arthur III

“Let me quickly get these names down.” Chris pulled out his cell phone and punched in the names of the gathered superhumans for future reference. “As you can tell from the nicknames, I’m not the best at remembering names with faces. It took me a couple weeks to get my assistant’s name down. Isn’t that right, um…”

“Minerva.” His assistant replied, a little annoyed that he still could not recall her name. If he had known her true identity as the Goddess Athena, Chris would otherwise have no problems learning her name.

“That’s right!” Chris snapped his fingers, trying to make it look like he suddenly remembered the name. “Now you see why I need to get some names down!”

“So, first we have Icon. I don’t think I need to record that name down. Ever since he made his presence known in Lost Haven, the paparazzi has been running around like chicken with their heads cut off as they tried to get some sort of snap shot of him.”

“Then the Quicksilver twins are Thunderbolt and Boom.” Chris was amused by the choice by this brother-sister duo to give themselves a codename that alluded to how the boom of thunder always follows the flash of lightning. While, technically speaking, thunder and lightning are the same phenomena, since one is the sound and the other the light, due to the laws of nature, the light of the weather effect reaches the human eyes before the thunder’s crash could reach the human ear.

“And Black Panther is Lyger. Interesting choice.” What Chris meant by this was that ligers, particularly male ones, are seen in popular culture as being naturally sterile. While relatively recent research has shown this is not always the case, especially with female ligers, it still amused Chris that this hot-headed youth would take the inspiration for his superhero handle from a feline that is usually seen as sterile. Maybe he was trying to invoke the fact that ligers were generally larger than their tiger relatives. “Do you spell that with an ‘i’?”

Last, but not least, was Radiance. While Chris was not bothered by it, his assistant, Minerva, noticed that Radiance had been standing close by Icon. Minerva was at least relieved that she would not have to rearrange the group assignments for the first missions because of any ‘hanky-panky’, although she would have to keep an eye out for Boom, who had also made a comment about Icon’s attractiveness. However, Minerva was not surprised. Would you expect otherwise from a group of fit mortals dressed in skin-tight clothing?

“I know you are all restless about starting already, so let’s get going. But first, I would like to address Thunderbolt and Lyger’s concern over this so-called ‘War-Pulse’, as Lyger called him. While he might be a mercenary, he did help out on D-Day. Anyways, he got embarrassed by these guys who are behind this metahuman-inducing dome, so he should have a few incentives to join us. And if he doesn’t come willingly, we will try to give him a few more incentives to join the cause.”

“The first mission will be recruiting the two kids in Albany. While I would like to send Icon to fetch them, he’s more needed in our little hunt for War-Pulse. Therefore, Lyger and Radiance will go to Albany and by whatsoever means bring them back here. Preferably as willing participants.”

“You might not want to mention Mr. Arthur’s name to these two kids and especially not to the ‘Spider-Girl’ because of that West Virginia incident.” Minerva handed two manila folders over to the two superhumans, which contained information about Zac and Kelly’s whereabouts and personal information that S.T.R.I.K.E. had gathered so far. “If you need transportation to Albany, we can provide you with it.”

“Come on! It was S.T.R.I.K.E. standard protocol! If they had not suddenly disappear on us, might have a better understanding of whatever agent these ‘terrorists’ are planning to use in their superhuman-inducing dome. And it hurts just thinking about that ‘Spider-Girl’.”

“She decked him during D-Day, if you didn’t already know.” Minerva mentioned as she gathered the remaining folders that contained the little information about War-Pulse.

“I’ll be talking Icon, Thunderbolt, and Boom to ‘persuade’ War-Pulse into joining our little cause.” Chris continued on with the assignments as he ignored what his assistant had just said.

“From the intelligence that I have just received, War-Pulse was recently near a S.T.R.I.K.E. base. If we hurry, we can intercept the mercenary before he can slip into hiding.” Minerva had just received the information on her cell phone. While it might have seemed to the others like she had gotten the information from intelligence gathered by S.T.R.I.K.E., Helios had actually alerted Minerva of War-Pulse’s location. That little bit of information was on a ‘need to know’ basis.

“I assume you three don’t need any means of transportation. I’ll meet you all there.” Chris then turned to the two superhumans who were not going after War-Pulse. “When you have finished your task, return back here in Lost Haven. I have recently purchased a luxury hotel in Sherman Square. I got it for dirt cheap because of basically everything bad that happens in Lost Haven happens in Sherman Square. While the renovations are not complete, it should work as a temporary base for now. We’re see you all there.”
