This was just the worst time to get a migraine, heh. I've missed so much! I'll catch up now, see where I should send my char. It'll probably take a while before I'm able to properly write the post, so if someone wants to tell me where I'm needed, that'll help the process along. I'll also finally get to that other CS, if I may. We'll see if I get it done before this whole deal ends.

More random ramblies, I finally got the chance to play Arkham City! Man, if it ain't one of the best games I've ever played~

EDIT: So I have trouble keeping up with who went where, but that's probably gonna get cleared right?
Oh, and he looked even better above water! Eye-candy for all, this was great. So friendly too. Petya had no complaints. She stood up, and enjoyed the view with a relaxed smile. She could have been eating donuts in the common room, but this was much better.

Quentin took a guess at her powers, and was right at that. It didn't really surprise Petya.
”The name does give it away, doesn't it?” the shapeshifter sighed before shrugging, nonchalant. In the long run it didn't really matter, but she had realized that her codename was far from subtle. What did 'Killshade' tell Petya about this mans abilities? Practically nothing, except that they were deadly. Petya had a feeling that she wouldn't surprise many enemies with her abilities anymore. At least, not while wearing this face.
”But that's the danger in choosing a power-related name, right? Still, I've yet to find myself in a situation where my skills haven't helped me in some capacity, even when the opposition knows what I can do. The name doesn't matter. I can still surprise people with my range,” she decided with a sage nod.
”Killshade, though? Not all that specific. What can you do, exactly?” The shapeshifter asked, looking at Quentin with obvious fascination.

Thank you. Is anyone here good at using photoshop?


I'm "good" at drawing with photoshop, but I think that doesn't count.

When did my life get so busy? I finally have a day off and I find myself doing anything but resting. I'll try to catch up now, goodness.
”Long enough,” Petya purred, her smile gaining a playful, flirty edge. ”Can you really blame me? There is a lot to look at.” She let her eyes wander, seemingly suggestive but mostly just curious. This man had the air of an army man around him. The way he'd held himself, the way he walked. It was... distinctive.

”I believe you're one of the new recruits. I wonder, why are you here?” Petya asked, not wishing to bother the man with any questions from his past. The shapeshifter had first hand experience in how bothersome they could get. ”You could be getting acquainted with your future teammates, but instead decide to go swimming. You don't wish to know the people you'll be working with?” She wasn't accusing as much as she sounded amused, and raised her hand before the man could answer. Rhetorical question! No need for a reply.

”That is no way to start a working relationship with anyone! So, I thought I'd help you by taking the first step for you,” with a theatrical sweep, the shapeshifter gestured at herself. ”I am Petya Alkaev. Shifter, if you like using codenames better.”
Petya's codename has been changed to Shifter. I went to Omegle and asked random people what sounded the best.
Post written oh god bed now. I have to wake up at 6 am. What am I thinking, staying up so late again!

Also uhm, Killshade can just tell my dearest lady to frag off if he wants to, it's not a big deal at all~
The common room was most probably Petya's favorite in the entirety of the Hall. It was built for entertainment purposes only, and appeared to be the kind of place the shapeshifter could spend weeks in if there was a need for it. They had a jacuzzi, a bar and plenty of people to... well. She wouldn't complain, couldn't. Maybe this League thing wasn't a bad idea, after all. The thief still had her reservations, of course she did, but Orchid trusted these people, and Petya trusted her partner. The healer was idealistic, but not some naive newcomer. The League didn't seem to tie her down as much as it gave her another place to leech from. Pickpocketing brought her enough money to live comfortably, but this? This was so much better!

The shapeshifter still had trouble counting herself as a recruit, especially a new one. Petya certainly didn't think of this as a full-time thing, and the words ”new recruit” made it sound like she'd actually become something else over time. Still, however short or long she'd stay, Petya knew she'd enjoy her time here. Orchid would be happy about the arrangement too.

Oddly enough, Petya couldn't find the healer in the common room. One would think that her partner would have been the first to welcome the new recruits into the Legion. Perhaps the healer was simply busy, at the moment. Green eyes swept through the crowd. Orchid really wasn't here. Well now. A slight frown appeared on the shapeshifters face, before quickly disappearing with a shrug and a laugh. In the end it didn't really matter. Petya was fully capable of making new contact with others. Connections were important, no matter where you were or what face you were wearing. What mattered was that you didn't expect them to always be there.

But that could wait, just as Orchid made her wait. Taking a drink with her, Petya stepped out of the common room and walked the corridors until she found her way into the dormitories. And oh joy, they weren't even that well reinforced! However could she keep her hands in check? It was such a shame she was working with these people now. It made stealing a trickier thing to deal with.

It was then, from the corner of her eye, that she noticed someone opening one of the doors and walking off. Another recruit, Petya recognized. He'd left without her even noticing. Why was he here instead of building those oh so important connections to the other heroes? Perhaps he was much like her, here only (mostly) for the resources. Interesting.

Petya gave the man some room to walk where he was headed, which ended being one of the swimming pools. For a moment, she leaned on a wall and followed the mans movements from farther away before approaching the man with confident steps.

The next time Killshade reached the end of the pool, Petya was there, lips settled into an amiable smile. The moment the other man reached to tap the end of the pool, Petya was there, tapping at the moist tiles with near perfect timing.
I think I'll join one Killshade at the pool. Wonder if he's up for some friendly competition?

We have a scientist. But we don't have any power armor wearers. Plus like I said I don't like people to mix two awesome things like being rich and a genius.


How about being rich and having cool toys built by others? Cool power armor minus the smarts, yes?
Ahh, I don't know where to start! I'm sure I'll be able to post something today, though.

Also, I'm not sure which codename I like better: Shifter or Morph. Those kinda work best with the character. Both are names that have been used in the comics, but I guess there's nothing one can do about that.
Cooler name is necessary, you mean. I'll go poking around in my brain box and find a good codename, or I'll take one of the names you suggested. I've never been good at naming things. You on the other hand? Wonderful suggestions~

And yeah, kind of leaning on that myself. It's why I gave her kind of a freedom of creativity. I coulda restricted her to just animals, but that seemed kind of boring. Bone spikes, tentacles and what not? That sounds a lot more fun.

I'll start working on that other character now. We don't have many ranged characters yet, right?

EDIT: So out of curiosity I went and checked one of those superhero name generators. One of the suggestions: Lord Huge Charmer. Oh my lord, I'm so tempted...
