@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN

Seriously though, that thing takes out tanks. Tanks! How did Oswald survive that?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs>

Well, long story short:

Shit's fucked. Just, totally fucked. Everything is completely fucked.

Four dudes are dead, everybody is injured in some way, Oswald and Cobalt were about thirty seconds away from needing headstones, and Hari is a sick, sadistic bastard.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Welp Team CODE's mission is over and we all survived! Somehow.

@Abillioncats

No but really, that's cool. Hopefully more teams will be doing the same soon since I know I can't wait to get back to just being able to interact with everyone here... If only Team <Name Still Pending> could get our mission to go faster.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Lighter note, I came across an old Amy thing from last Christmas.

BASL Christmas Thing also known as Kaithas got bored

It was dark. Really dark, actually, dark enough even Amy’s eyes were having trouble adjusting—until she fumbled in the darkness and turned the power strip on, the tree lighting up in its full festive glory. She smiled slightly, readjusting the Santa hat over her crimson spikes and feathers, taking a second to breathe in the scent of pine needles, then putting her presents under the tree.
First was a package for Ben, the wrapping crinkling when the soft object it contained shifted and hit the ground. She didn’t honestly know what to get him, so she’d taken her best shot. It was a pillow, actually, something she figured he’d get a lot of use out of, and she’d stitched cloth cutouts of each of their emblems onto it, along with their names. She’d also embroidered “Cap’s” on the tag rather messily, but… So she wasn’t the best seamstress in the word. Sue her. She sure as hell wasn’t going to ask anyone to help, not when she could at least do part of it on her own.
On the other hand, she had to get assistance with Sangue’s present, because she had no clue how to do what needed to be done. To his credit, Ni hadn’t been particularly obstinate when she asked him to do the modifications she needed, despite his reputation for being one of the most stubborn teachers at Beacon. Sangue’s gift was all 5 main series Metal Gear Solid games, with Snake replaced with Sangue. Ni pulled it off fairly well… And way too quickly, she thought, frowning. Almost like he spent a lot of his free time doing that exact thing with characters. She shrugged and sighed, putting the set of five wrapped packages for Sangue under the tree.
She had gifts for Luke, Napoli, Gratia, and Emerald as well, but… They weren’t part of Bastille, and somehow it didn’t feel quite right putting them with the others. Besides, this way she got to have two Christmases and not just one. Gratia was simple, Amy’d seen her staring at Luke’s hair enough to bribe Ni into making a program for her, and the flash drive for Ahoge Simulator V1.0 was wrapped up in her closet, along with the LifeAlert button she’d bought, scraped off “Life”, and inscribed “Gratia” on for Napoli. Emerald’s present was a set of dual ear muffs, one set for her cat ears and the other for her human set. Luke was quite a bit harder to come up with, especially since most of her gift ideas for him crossed some boundaries, but she’d eventually settled on two gift cards, one for the movies and one for the best restaurant she could think of, with a card that said “For you and Cian. Get together, dammit.”
Amy stood straight, looking at the tree with her arms crossed under her chest, wearing one sleeve of the Fury, sighing. It still looked fairly empty under there, but she supposed with only the four of them there weren’t likely to be many presents. Especially given her gift for Lauren. She didn’t know exactly how she could possibly put a—
“You’re missing a present there, Desire,” she heard a familiar voice say from behind her. Amy smirked, then put on a shocked expression to feign that she hadn’t heard Lauren stir and walk into their main living area. She turned, bathed in the flickering light of the tree, and smiled.
“Nah, I see presents for all three of you,” she said, then held one gauntleted finger to Lauren’s lips, hushing her before she could respond and smirking.

@Kaithas

That was actually kind of adorable. Too bad it's June now, if it was Christmas I could see someone doing a contest where everyone had to write what their character would get for everyone else's character.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Me when I get back to the RP after work and discover that a whole bunch of drama happened:

So in further news it's about midnight for me...

Y'all got two weeks and it's been awhile since contests so you better give me some good writing to feast on.

@Write

I'm still working on my entry. I started it like a week ago and after finishing an interaction between Robert and another character I haven't added anything since due to two things: Overwatch and an early mid-life crisis. And to top it off, I'm going to summer school tomorrow because I need more units if I want to graduate college in 4 years. So basically this is me right now:

<Snipped quote by Guess Who>

That kind of feat would have to do as much with strength and durability as it would with speed but that aside the Speed Force grants superspeed, superspeed does not allow access to the Speed Force. The power of the Speedsters and Superman's speed may look similar but they can effectively be considered different powers. Though they achieve a similar result they have a completely different cause. It's like the difference between a diesel and a petrol engine. The two fuel sources don't mix well together. Also the reason that the Flash is faster than Superman.

@Prince of Seraphs

That actually clears up a lot of confusion I've had. I knew all of the other stuff you mentioned, but I had previously thought that the Speed Force granted power to heroes as well as was accessible to anyone with super speed.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Guess Who His powers aren't Speed Force-based.

And yeah, new Wally was pretty much a new character onto himself rather than the old one, but they're keeping him around as a Kid Flash Wally West. Explanation is that he's our old Wally's distant cousin, and they were both named after their grandpa Wally West.

Wally's gonna mentor Wally, it seems.

Like entering the speed force is something special. Name me a speedster that hasn't at some point entered or gotten stuck in the speed force.

@Prince of Seraphs

That actually just made me think of something: Has Superman ever been able to access the Speed Force? I mean, he is fast enough to make a clean cut through a moon:



I'm no physicist or whatever scientific field you would have to be to calculate that, but I'm sure you would have to be going really, really fast to be able to do that.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Guess Who This ain't that big of a spoiler, given that it's been telegraphed so hard in Titans Hunt.

But our favourite redhead speedster is back.

With the yellow suit, admittedly, but he's back in business.

@Crimmy

Wait really?! Yes! I couldn't even read the new Flash series because the new Wally was so annoying going around making graffiti and being a edgy and shitty teenager. Why was he a kid now anyway? Wally had been an adult for years, even had his own family. That'd be like making Dick Grayson Robin again for New 52.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Hopefully going to burn down the Dodici Compound.

Meanwhile, Geoff Johns right now rebirthing the Silver Age and going out with a bang.

@Crimmy

Are you referring to DC's Rebirth? Heard about that a couple months ago. Never was much of a DC fan but with the direction Marvel's going with all of these constant big event books and getting rid of some of my favorite characters (at least they've finally brought Cap back) I've been reading a lot of the DC stuff that I had spent years ignoring (i.e. Infinite Crisis, Sinestro Corp War, etc.). Hopefully it won't be a huge mess like New 52 was. I remember when that started openly avoiding any DC stuff since I didn't want to see a book that interested me only for it to be canceled two weeks later.
