@Ermine Um, sure, I'll go with that I guess.
As the kitchen and dining room grew ever more crowded, Al sighed to himself. Ignored, he was, the others too attentive to their own conversations. T'was an odd feeling for the magician, as he was very much accustomed to being on the center stage and having the world's undivided attention whilst he dazzled them all with his - to toot his own horn - amazing talents. Even Kor, the resident alien and usually the one who would at least humor Al's self-centered ways, instead was busy insisting that everyone try his cake batter. That, Al immediately decided, had bad idea written all over it. Too many times did the others, himself included, make the mistake of trying Kor's cooking only to end up paying for it in the bathroom later on.

As if being saved by divine intervention, the alarms went off, this time for an actual emergency. With a great weight lifted from his shoulders, Al stood to his feet and, able to retain his encouraging attitude toward Kor, said with a frown, "Well, damn it all. Looks like we'll have to try that cake another time." he even patted Kor's shoulder to really sell his sympathetic act, "But, duty calls, and who am I to deny my audience the wonder and splendor of my magnificence?"

With that, Al gave a wave of his wand and spoke an incantation he had recently invented for himself, "Emitwohs s'ti, pu tius!" with his backward proclamation, his clothes gave a bright glow that suddenly completely enveloped the mage. Once faded, Al was now in his magical attire, his previous outfit now adorning the mannequin in his room, since his spell had essentially swapped the outfits. A rather convenient spell it was, too, since Al no longer had to worry about taking the time to painstakingly adorn his suit, which was quite a meticulous task since manually putting on a suit like Al's required one to be very careful not to induce a wrinkle somewhere since such a mistake would blemish an otherwise handsome attire.

"Let the opening act begin!" said Al, even taking off his hat briefly to make a bow like a performer coming out on stage.
I would of course be a fool to go posting that in the IC without Weird Tales' consent.
Just to clarify, rolls are done with 2 d6's?
Also, whats everyone's favorite Pokemon? Mine is Gardevoir, for lots of reasons >.>.


Gen 1: Aerodactyl
Gen 2: Houndoom
Gen 3: Absol
Gen 4: Infernape
Gen 5: Excadrill
Gen 6: Tyrantrum

@Saarebas Don't pair Tohi off against Wonder woman's Cheetah. Win or loose it would end... poorly. Any enchantress character could probably turn him, even without using their powers. ;)


So what you're saying is Al basically owns him. xD j/k
We're currently at 1 Team.
@Double I didn't see a roll in your post for defending the civvies, so I rolled for you. 5+2+Savior(2) = 9. You save them, but expose yourself to danger or escalate the situation. Also, choose one:
● add a Team to the pool
● take Influence over someone you protect
● clear a condition


I choose to add a Team to the pool.

Also, if he started uppercutting before the teleport, it would probably be even more telegraphed. He would have had to take the time to lower his arm and fist to wind up the hit all before teleporting from his spot. Unless, of course, his teleports are like Nightcrawler in that he's actually slipping in and out of another dimension to travel? Teleportation is otherwise instantaneous and thus makes it pretty much impossible to just do something "mid-teleport".

But like you said, it really doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things, especially since I chose not to try and interfere with it.
@Ermine I could have phrased it better, but essentially he didn't see teleport itself coming, but rather the uppercut that came after it. Those tend to be fairly telegraphed, especially to someone who has any amount of Martial Art skills, which Falcon does due to Martial Arts being one of his 3 abilities.
So... would it be out of character if William was the one who came up with Revenant as a name?
We'll have to see how that turns out, since Falcon is now flying up to catch the hostages. I'm guessing that will constitute a Defend move, roll+Savior, right?
This was supposed to be a standard hostage situation, nothing the team couldn't handle. As soon as they arrived, however, it became quickly apparent that this was anything but routine. For one thing, the hostages appeared to be in some kind of mind control. Secondly, the suspects made it abundantly clear that they were really after Argon and nothing else, so it seemed. One of them made the first move, managing to teleport themselves into an uppercut against Argon. It was a move Falcon could see coming easily enough, and one that he would have been able to interrupt or block for Argon, if not for one thing: the hostages. There was just no telling what would happen to them if anyone made the wrong move, and so Falcon chose caution for the time being. Unfortunately, his "brother" evidently didn't see things that way and immediately went on the attack.

"Idiot! You're gonna get someone killed!" Falcon protested, but of course it would fall on deaf ears. Kiante did what he pleased, and once he decided he was going to do something there was no stopping him. Only thing to do now was to deal with the consequences and hope for the best. Kiante's attack appeared to have some effect, but it wasn't enough to stop the suspects entirely. One of them teleported into the air with two hostages and flung them like projectiles, "Not today, scumbag!" Falcon had seen enough, it was time to take action. His first instinct was to take flight directly above the team and save the two hostages Xenon threw. In a perfect world Falcon might have tried to hit Xenon as well, but with two civvies in immediate danger there simply wasn't enough time, and the hostages' safety took priority.
