Bio

Well now that I got the customary "post once" requirement out of the way....

HELLO

Welcome to my safe space. Well, about as safe as one space can be, I guess. If you are here looking for something, I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I made fresh cookies! Come sit a spell.

I guess I'll do some more in-depth stuff about myself. My name is Nick and I am 35 years old living in Illinois. I am a therapist and clinical responder (which is a fancy way of saying I go out on police calls to provide mental health assistance). Been doing therapy for a few years now and I absolutely love it!

I am a gay, cisgender man. I came out in January 2020 (smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. Timing was always my downfall). There is still much I am learning, but I am proud and happy to be who I really am and not have to hide it anymore!

I am an avid gamer, especially roleplaying games (cue surprised and shock noises). I also enjoy writing and reading, especially mysteries. I am not new to roleplay, I promise. I have been doing it for years now in different formats. I am experienced, even if it doesn't seem like it.

I use humor as a coping mechanism for sure, but I also like laughing and enjoying myself. Life can be pretty sad and upsetting for the most part and I don't want to add to it.

Whew! That got deep!

I will be poking my nose around in spaces and hoping to jump headfirst into this. Some interests I have in terms of roleplay settings include superheroes, DnD, science fiction/fantasy, mysteries, thrillers, horror stuffs, apocolypse, and espionage. And I am a fan of most things pop culture. If you have any suggestions or possible roleplays you think I would love, please let me know.

Otherwise, stick around! This is gonna get wild!

Far be it from Sabine to ruin a good time. The fact Danni's egg hatched and it was an adorable baby dragon should be a wonderful moment. Social media worthy. Something to share with those he was closest to. And to his credit, he did. A beautiful moment shared with Dorian and April.

Not her. Not Leah. Not Percy.

Sabine felt heat rush to her head. She was angry? Why? A close call led to something marvelous. But it was hard to reconcile that it started off with...tragedy. Danni nearly set the building on fire. She kenw him well enough to know he didn't do so intentionally. No, it had to be an accident. An emotional outburst like what happened in his past. But what would have warranted that? And what upset her more was the sheer flip of emotions from panic to delight. How quickly he could turn on a dime, how quickly he could forget other people if their names didn't begin with D or A.

And that's really what burned her. One moment of tragedy and he turned it into something in his favor. They had died. Came back, sure, but died. And as soon as there was an option to redistribute the teams they had been assigned he jumped on it and immediately grabbed Dorian and April. And the rest were afterthoughts. And Zelda was thrown away with no regard. She would need to talk to Danni later, once things calmed down.

And April. God, what was even going on with her? A strong concoction of emotions and a buried deep force inside her mind. She hid it well, sure. But there was more there.

Sabine shook her head and turned to make it to her floor, to assure everyone she was okay. She had followed Leah, though she was a few steps behind. Still, once she made it she stood next to Leah, brushing shoulders. Despite it all, Leah was a foundation for her. "Yeah, we're here."

Sure enough their fears were recognized when the woman, clearly dead, began moving around. Verity glanced at the toolbox and grabbed a hammer, not wanting to be without protection this time. Verity looked at Gus as the man yelled in fear. Now was not the time to panic.

Flynn's idea was stupid, but what choice did they have other than attacking her again? Verity nodded and waited as Flynn baited the woman outside. Verity ran to the door and waited. As Flynn ran back, Verity clutched the hammer tighter. As soon as Flynn was inside, Verity would slam the door shut and lock it.

She hoped the dead woman was to dumb to know how to unlock a door.

Perry knew it had to be bad, though she still didn't quite get how bad it was when some random dude appeared, spouting off some nonsense. "Oh great, he's a Christian nutjob."

Before she could get off more zingers the man had thrown a bus at them. It wasn't metaphorical, he literally threw a bus at them. They didn't manage to get out of the way, sending them back and being thrown for quite the loop. Perry landed hard, feeling something crack in her wrist as she did. Pain shot up through her arm in that moment.

She stood up, albeit slowly. Perry looked at the man and felt the emtions wave off of him. Anger. Sheer anger. Vengeful anger enough to want all of them before him dead. That wasn't good.

"Screw you Moses!" she said as she sent a blast of spiritual energy forward from her. She didn't quite know where that came from, but one didn't look a gift horse in the mouth, especially as it hit him and sent him flying backward. As she did Barry ran forward and shot his taser at Chrysi, zapping her briefly but not enough to do much else. They had to stop them both if they wanted to get out of this.

Things progressed rather quickly. Sabine attempted to drag Danni away, hoping the others would follow suit. Thankfully, it seemed April focused-up and unleashed her power with the sprinklers, drenching them but putting out the fire. Smoke wafted over them and stuck to their clothing, but otherwise they were unharmed.

Leah cleaned up the remaining water with the use of her runes. It was, honestly, very impressive and very hot, but that had to wait. Sabine had checked Danni, wondering what happened. Given the state of him Sabine assumed he had been injured gravely, though Sabine saw no wounds. Before she could ask she heard a faint sount. What was that...cracking?

And then Danni moved to show what it was. The egg he had been given was hatching.

Which meant a dragon.

Which meant, potentially, more fire.

Danni's mood shifted and Sabine thought, and mentally chastised herself for, that it was rather silly to be in such a panic-stricken moment before to switch on a dime like that. Then Sabine's eyes shifted to April and how she had such a powerful mental block before. There was more going on here than anyone was admitting to.

"Ok well this is all well and good and I am glad we are safe but how about we talk about this outside still, especially with a new fire-breathing cutie here?" Sabine would unclench from Danni, but would still be nearby for support, but they really did need to get out of there.

Verity let the call drop as the dispatcher warned her. Bit? Was the person bit? And what did that have to do with this whole situation? Maybe it was a disease that spread through contact?

As Flynn checked in with her Verity noticed the initial twitch as the customer, who definitely should not be moving, moved.

"Stay away from them!" Verity backed up, pulling Flynn back with her. "They said to avoid anyone who's been bitten. They are sending the paramedics now, but in the meantime our friend here should definitely not be moving around." Verity looked around, trying to catch anything to use as a makeshift weapon in the moment. Twice in one day she needed to defend herself.

[hider=Held Roll]Verity is going to grab the nearest weapon to hold should the zombie come anywhere near her, though she will try to stay away.[/color]
I do still want to play but I am also noticing a lack of posts which makes me not want to. I am fine with the "no time constraints" deal but I leave it up to the group.

Sabine shifted from side to side on her bed, making an albeit low attempt at comfort, when she got a weird sense. It wasn't some ESP or mind blip but one of her other senses noticing something. She sat up in bed and looked around, not noticing much else. Then she sniffed the air. It smelled like...burning.

Burning. Fire....

Danni!

Sabine shot up out of bed and ran into the hallway, keeping an eye out for any semblance of fire. She made her way towards Danni's room. There she saw a few people in the hallway. April, Leah, Maddie, Dorian, Diana, Percy, and Danni, who was nearly curled up in a ball. Sabine noticed the smoke smell got bigger here. The door nearby Danni appeared to be smoking. Sabine glanced around and spotted a fire extinguisher at the end of the hall. Booking it over there she grabbed it and mentally cursed herself for never going through basic fire prevention training.

She ran back, pointing the...what was it, a nozzle?....at the spreading fire and tried to use the extinguisher, but it only protested her. She tried again to no avail. "Shit!" She dropped the fire extinguisher and looked around again. Her eyes settled on April. Sabine hated to do it, but she had no choice.

Sabine attempted to go into April's mind, to boost her abilities so she could put the fire out, but something weird happened. It was as it April's mind was...blocking her attempts. Sabine had never experienced that before. Whatever was going on in April's mind...it was bad. Her psyche was residing any and all attempts. Sabine cursed again. "We need to go, now!" she screamed.

Sabine ran over to Danni, putting her arm under his to lift him up to his feet. "We need to get out of here Danni, please don't fight me on this. Someone call the police but unless someone can take care of that immediately, we need to get out of the building!"
@Morose Ok made the edits (though I poked you about the Traits). I also lowered her logic damage as she no longer has the Brilliant powers.
