Okay, so I'm too lazy to get exact quotes, but I'll make my thoughts known.

Supernatural, Mystic, and otherwise thread@Vatrou 

Sure.  I already have a CS for the Greek Gods which covers pretty much everything you need to know about them, but I wouldn't mind coming along.

You understand why I was livid and stopped writing for the RP considering what I came back to (Demon Invasion, Alternate Universe versions of my characters, etc). I mean I see that I was a bit unfounded in some aspects, but I hope no one holds it against me that I felt like “what is the point when my stuff is ignored or retconned and I’m barely consulted”.@Gowi

The Little Ulster makeover was done by one of Raptorman's alts (as Hound already said).  The Demon Invasion, as Fallen already has mentioned, was started by a player who disappeared in the middle of the event.  Also, he started it without GM approval, which resulted in us adding a rule about consulting us first before big events.  We were not intentionally trying to screw over your future storylines.

Also, I disagree that "retconning, ignoring, compromising" isn't a good thing.  Sure, there are some exceptions that come to bite us in the butt, but the majority of players who leave the game (especially without saying anything) never come back.  We're playing the probability game here and usually we win.  Not always, but most of the time.

Do you think I could retcon Marcus being involved in the Demon Invasion in some way when Season 2 starts up?@Gowi

I don't see why not.

	There was a long silence in the room after the Warden admitted to the crimes that War-Pulse had committed.  The part about War-Pulse attempting to ‘poison’ the Lost Haven water supply and being stopped by the villains was not surprising, especially since that event was what prompted Iron Knight to look for War-Pulse, let alone the fact that the Warden already admitted to it earlier in the debriefing.  Even the part where War-Pulse had been at least semi-successful at other locations was not that surprising.  While Chris did not know that War-Pulse was the one who did those acts of sabotage, he had read the S.T.R.I.K.E. reports about the substance being quarantined so that it would not affect the general public.  However, attacking a S.T.R.I.K.E. base and freeing a dangerous fugitive was the shock.  War-Pulse had to been crazy to think that he would be able to escape from S.T.R.I.K.E.  Sure, he could run, but he could not hide from this far-reaching organization.

“I think whatever action that needs to be taken on account of War-Pulse’s actions should be a topic of another day.”  Chris astonished the room of heroes, especially since he was the one who had the closest ties to S.T.R.I.K.E.  While he knew that there probably were a few people who wanted to hand War-Pulse over to the international spy organization, Chris had his reasons for not taking that course of action because he saw the bigger picture.  “This is what those terrorists would want us to do: fight amongst ourselves while their plan slowly comes to fruition.  I am sure we all have done something that we’re not entirely proud of before, but we need to stand together now, or else we will fail.”

	Chris gave everyone a few moments for everyone to digest what he had said.  After several seconds, he then spoke again.  “So, any questions before we move onto our plan of attack?  And don't worry, War-Pulse, I have my best men and women trying to crack the mystery on how we can stop these domes.”

	After this, Kelly then raised her hand, as if she was trying to answer a question at school.  Chris took a quick glance at his "list of aliases" so that he would not accidentally use the incorrect name.  When he checked the list, he confirmed his guess that her name was Kelly since there were only three metahumans present from Albany and the only other girl's name had a "cat-girl" descriptor next to it for convenience's sake. "Um, Kelly."  Chris paused for a second, just to make sure he didn't have a typo on his list, "This isn't middle school.  We don't have to raise our hands to get permission to speak.

	Kelly then slowly lowered her arm.  "Well, I think we can add some information to what War-Pulse said."  She turned to both Zac and Sammy, who in turn gave her a nod showing their agreement.  "But do you have anything that we can use to write all this information down on?  It might be easier for everyone to digest this information in a visual representation.

"Hmm...actually, I might have something that will do the trick."  Chris rubbed his chin as he thought about Kelly's question.  Then he glanced around the room until he found the device he was looking for.  After he had pulled the large device in front of where everyone else was standing, Chris pressed a button on it, which caused the flat and clear rectangular surface of the device to light up.  “An electronic whiteboard.  Use this stylus to write and you can scroll up and down the screen as if it were a tablet.”

	Even before Chris was able to finish explaining how to use the electronic whiteboard, Kelly had already snatched the stylus out from Chris’ hand and had begun to scribble on the board.  It took a couple minutes for the young metahuman to finish creating a list of information that was compiled from what she knew and what War-Pulse had just said.  When she stepped away from the board, the other heroes saw that the board was organized so that he villain had a row dedicated to him or her.  And beside the handwritten words, which were almost stereotypically neat for a girl, Kelly had sketched small images that represented each villain.

“Alight, so before we get started,”  Kelly gestured at her boyfriend and Sammy, “I just wanted to say, hi, my name is Kelly, as you have just heard.  But since its seems like Chris here is the only one who doesn’t mind using his own real name, you can call me Wasp.”  Kelly then deactivated her power-nullifying wristband, which caused her wasp-like characteristics to reemerge.  In addition, her clothes changed into her superhero outfit and the process looked almost as if her civilian clothes were actually morphing into this other costume.

“My boyfriend and I…”  Kelly said as she gestured towards Zac.

“Raptor, by the way”  Zac revealed his superhero alias so that Kelly would not have to repeat his actual name.  At the same time, Zac also deactivated his power-nullifier, which caused him to return to his metahuman appearance, along with his costume replacing the civilian clothes that he was wearing in the same way that Kelly’s had.

“We acquired our powers after we unwilling were given this special serum that was created by the man whom War-Pulse called ‘Mr. Long Neck’, which happens to be not far off.  His real name is Doctor Dorian Dipillian, although now he goes by the name Doctor Diplodoc.”

“He has tried multiple times to recruit us to his cause, although obviously, since we’re here right now, he did so in vain.”  Zac cut in while Kelly was speaking to explain how they know this information.  “He even went as far as kidnapping us and trying to mind control her into working for her.”

“Anyways,” Kelly tried to change the subject, especially since it brought bad memories of her being almost forced to kill her boyfriend.  “I don’t think we need to dwell on Jaws or Black Widow for too long, since you already mentioned the ‘shark man’ and ‘spider woman’.  Effigy must have been a new addition because he wasn’t there when they kidnapped me.  However, the ‘silver-garbed women’ is bad news.”

“We three barely took her down.”  Zac pointed towards Kelly and Sammy.  “It is even more disconcerting that she has joined forces with Doctor Diplodoc because it means that her incarceration did not quite stick when we turned her over to the proper authorities.”

	“And she petrified these two, so her ‘magic’ is no joke.”  Sammy butted in.  However, her two friends returned her comment with a faces that could have said, ‘why did you bring that up’.  “Hey, I was only trying to dispel, no pun intended, anyone’s disbelief in her magic.  Oh, by the way, since we’re giving ourselves cute little names, you all can call me Bast, like the Egyptian cat goddess.”

“I can only remember one other metahuman from my stay with them a month or so ago.  There is a man, called Leo, who is basically a lion version of Jaws.  Yes, I know, their names are so original, but at least it makes it easy to keep track of them.”

“Otherwise, the intel that War-Pulse and Warden told us is pretty spot on.  However, I’m not quite convinced that Doctor Diplodoc is using the chemical that War-Pulse was hired to pollute the Lost Haven water supply with.  I don’t know a lot about advanced sciences, since I’m only a ‘dumb jock’, but I do know that this Doctor Diplodoc has had the capacity to create metahumans for months now.  Kel…um..Wasp and I are living proof of this.  Aubrey over there is living proof of it.  I don't think he needed to piggyback on anyone else's formulas.

“If I remember the announcement correctly,”  Kelly added to Zac’s argument, “Doctor Diplodoc was comparing his own serum with whatever War-Pulse was dumping into the water sources for Lost Haven, especially how his serum did not mutant people into mindless monsters.  While it would be a sound idea to check it out just in case, I don’t see how he could have used that poison.”
