You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You’re facing a greed-eyed version of yourself that may or may not be a demon.

You’re in the entrance hall of a haunted orphanage (which, by the way, you broke into), out of phase with baseline reality, the air ebbing and flowing around you like shadowy nebulae.

You don’t know what to expect and you’re fairly certain that you’re not prepared for it, but you know that you can’t let this thing take its final host – who, incidentally, is tiptoeing along the floorboards nearby, unaware of the spectral battle taking place right beside her.

Shadow-you snarls and leaps, claws bared.

This list will be subject to change once we get more powers,which was hinted at being in 2-3 powers from now so choose wisely to either bank or get closer to skipping ahead of the chapter.

You feel your own claws knead their way out from under your skin.

Letting instinct guide you, you answer his snarl with one of your own – it occurs to you, at the very edge of thought, that you didn’t know that was a noise you could make – and meet him head-on, aiming a slash at his beautiful green eyes.

For instant you perceive the mockery of your flesh slipping away, ribbons of shadow unfurling like blood and paint-strippings where your claws dig into his face, but then, suddenly. it’s as if a grenade just exploded in your eyes – you hear yourself scream as the pain blossoms through you, seeming to all but crack open your face.

It’s gone before you hit the floor, but by then he’s on you, his claws searing in your chest – like tiny splinters of fire, digging, burning, scraping through you, you can feel him surging into you, drinking from you, hurting you.

“Your sensations are incredible, JJ. Even here.”

It’s a terrible voice. It’s terrible, until you realize it must be yours.

He bores into your skull. You feel your heart draining into the beating of his, their echoes mingling, dancing, till you don’t know which is yours and which is his. It hurts like scolded burned disappointment failed abandoned and it entices like all the above, wrenching into you, bleeding.

Desperately, you reach out for something strong. The terror of Noriko and the alley races back to you, overwhelming you. You don’t know if she’s gonna explode or… or what. God, this chick and her stupid blue hair, she’s gonna be the death of you. The alley orphanage operating table lights up, arcs of hellish blue straining the shadows to their utmost limit, pouring from your heart and lapping over you, lashing out like an uneasy sleeper.

It flays him, burning through his non-flesh and driving him back. He lets go, but it’s not enough – he’s still on you, his claws still connected by veins of shadow, fishing hooks, spider-webs.

He pulls. You scream – inside and out.

“Remember how our father looked at us, JJ? You remember that disappointed face?”

No. Yes? Your memories ache with disgust and fever and truth and lies. You don’t know. You don’t know. Maybe.

“Let’s reminisce a while.”

Your failures choke in on you. You feel your chest swell with them, bulging, their slippery forms encasing your heart and your lungs, wriggling in every undeserved breath, crushing, eating, tearing their way in and out. Joyce pushes at your skin, stretching, screaming to be free. Your mother is in there with her, and your father, and your teachers and friends and everyone that you ever let down. They’re going to rip you apart. They’re going to feed on you. They deserve it, too.

You at least owe them this.

You trace your way back along the lightning, grasping for anything – anything that can provide solidity, anything that isn’t failure, anything.

You latch on to Laura. The snow and the desolation surrounds you. She doesn’t leave, she stays, you feel her warmth, she smells awful and so do you, her tears are in your hoodie and her breath is close, warm, quiet, soft–

And it collapses inwards, tearing past the rest of your memories, your failures, hurting them, hurting you, you scream, you feel it fold up into a nail in your head and he pushes and pushes and pushes it, he hammers it in and in and in till it’s scraping the back you your skull your mind your soul.

His hands snap about your neck. You feel him in your bloodstream. He caresses when he squeezes, he throttles you with a loving, gentle touch.

“God, daddy, yes, hah. Soft and warm.” He breaths out the smell of the M roasting in your flesh. The smell of Laura’s hoodie. “All those tingly feelings. I’m not sure we’re allowed that kind of stuff, JJ. It’s all a bit above our station.”

His words mean next to nothing. You barely have the thought left in your mind to process them. The exit wounds carved by your escaping, fleeing thoughts fill your skull with pain.

His grip tightens. You feel yourself struggle for air, for something, but you’re not doing it, it’s just your body, just your survival instinct.

You’re not there. You’re watching him drink in everything that you love, his grin exultant and hungry, his eyes gleaming with obsessive want. He really is you. Selfish, and hungry, and needy. Feeding and sipping and surviving off the deaths of others.

You plummet, soaring over the lake. You eat the last of your sister’s strength and use it to fly, fly away, leave her to burn. Your mother carries you over the dunes. The sun beats down on her, but she carries you anyway, and you laugh and smile, while an aneurysm is slowly forming in her head. She collapses into kindling. Fire swarms over you.

You burn.
>>
>>28055461
>You burn

Since he is us right now, I wonder if he burns too?

>(2/2)

His grip loosens.

His teeth – the teeth that are his fingers – withdraw, smoking luridly, burns streaking along their length. His face is sick. He screams at you angrily and you feel yourself rising, you feel yourself pushing him off, scrabbling at his arms, grabbing, shoving, it’s pathetic, but it’s working.

You feel weak, but only as weak as him.

“You know, JJ…”

He flails feebly at you. You’re both tired and hurt. You kick, you claw, he does the same. He’s calmed down. You’re not pushing him off anymore – you don’t know when it happened, but you’re on him now, you’re throttling him.

He doesn’t seem to care.

“I don’t think I particularly need Annie after all. I wanted a matching set…” You squeeze, you squeeze without thinking, is it you that’s squeezing or is it him, is he throttling himself? “…but I can live without one. You and I have a lot more in common. Normally”–

You’re not hearing this. You scream at him and flood his veins with electricity.

– “Normally I have to beat them down, break them. Make it a blessing when I take their meat from them. But I think you’ve pretty much done that to yourself. You’ll do fine.”

No. No, that can’t–

You thrust your hands into you. You feel yourself climbing into your mouth, past your teeth, slipping under your eyelids, melting into your pores. You feel yourself growing very, very small, and very, unbelievably large…

It's an all consuming fire, that strips our bones clean and clears all our doubts, our fears and insecurities. There are many rituals of purification through the world, from the Christian Purgatory to Japanese Shinto rituals.

It's the symbolization of the hate of mankind towards our kind, through sadistic rednecks and bikers. It's something that threatens to destroy all that we are and leave nothing but our charred remains. The smell is intoxicating, numbing, too.

You want to scream. Fire. Fire, fire.

You don’t. You don’t anything.

You look up into the eyes of night-fire and see a nothing that rots the world around it, putrefying from the inside to the outside, from heart to soul to mind to sodden pulsing quivering closing groaning shrieking moaning flesh. You feel your life spinning out into the universe. It lances off, star-like-shot, burning without fire, the world enclosing it, caressing it, folding it into the purr of gravity ebbing, electromagnetism dancing, gases collapsing, fission and fusion and weak and strong, rushing outward, breathing one into the other into the other, drinking, gasping, crashing toward final, cosmic orgasm.
Looks like we were set on fire to me.

But fire purifies.

And fire is how we were marked. An M branded into us, separating us out, forever reminding us that we're different. He might take our form and mess with our memories, but something's will always irrevocably divide us from him, because he can always chose for them go away.

According to Brad Jones it's still good.
>>
Our fear of flame has followed us all our life as a shadow, since we watched them burn whom we loved at a place that was, to us, safe.

When a man embraces his fear, reaches out to it and becomes its master he can find strength or salvation.

Like the night a bat flew into the study of an injured billionaire orphan who got badly wounded during his first attempt at vigilantism.

We embrace the embers of our knightmares. They forge us anew, temper us. For fear is needed for survival.

It's a little late, but I wonder what would have happened if JJ sincerely offered up a pray to any of the in setting gods that are still active and in the area?

Or maybe some kind of spitting power, since we're lizard-like.

You feel like you’re vomiting. You’re vomiting into your own mouth. You’re vomiting yourself into yourself.

You stand over your prone, naked form. Your great claws and your sharp teeth and your beautiful wings are smeared with blood, your blood, you’re delving through yourself, cracking open your ribcage, pulling apart your lungs, drinking your red. You rip out your heart and hold it aloft, admiring its crystalline gleam, turning it over in your hands, stroking it, and you press it to your chest.

You so badly wish you had one of these.

You slam it against the nothingness that surrounds you. You slam it against your ribs and your tattered seams. You slam it against your walls. You have to get in there, you have to open it. You love it so. There are plenty of cracks, each one multiplying its beauty, each one a new channel for light and love – you just have to rip one open. You just have to get in.

Chips fly as you claw at it. It’s so fragile, but that makes it wonderful. Each tiny shard you flick away reveals more of its beauty, more of its inner radiance. You stare lovingly into the flickering, flashing glow. And it stares out at you, the light rising, the glow brightening, it’s not warm anymore, it’s hot, blistering, scorching.

>vomiting yourself into yourself.

You scream and curse in words you have no idea of.

Through the cracks there comes no love or light, but a fire, fire reaping the sky, fire like the collapse at the end of time, fire sprawling, flicking, churning. The heat swallows you. You feel the M sear your flesh and the smoke clog your lungs, slowing you, choking you. You feel the hot inevitability of your sister’s blood – on your hands, in your hair, weighing down your wings. You can’t fly away, you can’t run, you can only burn.

You roar in hate and pain. You roar at your sister and your mother, you roar at the Morningstar for bringing you so low and at Creeper for ruining you, at your father for abandoning you, at yourself for failing all of them.

“Out!” You scream, you scream through the fire! “Out! Get out!”

You–

You open your eyes and rasp in the cold air. Your lungs feel full of dust – you cough and hack and spit, bracing yourself against the floorboards.

You feel like shit.

Your ears ring. The dark crowds you, but there’s something other than fire, finally. You unscrew your eyelids look up at the landing looming over you, at the stairs marching up to its side, at the great windows gleaming with snow-light.

Somebody’s screaming. As if from a great distance, you hear feet pattering over the floorboards up above, doors creaking loudly and voices searching through the dark. Annie is huddled against the stairwell. She’s looking at you. She’s the one screaming.

…Is this the real world?

either way that scene was fucking metal

>>28056237
Well, on the upside I think we bound ourself to him permanently, meaning that if we die we might have a shot at taking him over. Oh, and that M is probably now our mark in hell, since we branded him with it and all.

Your head swims. Every time the girl achieves a new tenor it’s an iceberg breaking to the surface. God.

You pull yourself to your feet, leaning heavily against the nearby bannisters. There’s – you glance around frantically – there’s nothing, no sign of the battle. No sign of the demon, or you, or whatever, whatever it was.

“Hey.” You groan. Your mouth is ash and shit. “Hey, uh… alright, it’s, calm down.”

You breathe.

“Calm down. It’s okay now.”

“You!”

Oh, no it’s not. Shapes cluster atop the landing. The tall, aging woman that you presumed to be the owner stands at the top of the stares, glaring down at you with eyes of equal parts fear and indignant rage.

“You! I don’t know who you are, but you have until five seconds ago to get gone! I’m calling the police!”

You flick the vanish button in your head, but it’s like pushing a dead switch. You shove it down as hard you can, but the wiring’s fried, or something. Great.

“I mean it! Whatever kind of sick”–

She nearly jumps out of her skin – and so do you – when a sudden, loud bang shakes one of the doors upstairs. The door… the door that the two kids are behind. She freezes, her voice snared in her throat.

The door shakes again, harder this time. And again, every window in the house rattling along.

“Get out! Everybody out now!”

THUMP. The whole building shakes. Jesus Christ.

“Now! Get the”–

“Now, now listen here, you’ve no right to”–

THUMP. The foundations shift. You’re sure of it.

“Get! The! Fuck! Out!” You scream, practically begging them.

But they’re transfixed. The kids have cleared the way, some of them running down the stairs, some of them just hovering all over the landing, but nobody’s listening. Lordy fucking Christ Vishnu Marduk Motherfuckers! Have none of these shitty shit shits seen Poltergeist?

The lady takes a tentative step towards the door.

“Alex?” She says, her voice tinged with a doubtful hope. “Claire? Is that”–

The door flies from its hinges, a torrent of fire licking in its wake. It soars across the landing and pitches her straight off her feet. It slams her into the wall, all but bursting her open. There is a moment of unbelieving silence as the children realize that their – dunno, matron mother or something – is now a lifeless paste of gristle and blood sandwiched between two planes of wood, and then chaos takes over the proceedings.

>(2/2)

They scream. They run towards the exits. They just run wherever. What’s left of the staff – there’s still one up there, the one that was with the kids earlier – tries to shepherd them as best she can, but they’re a mess of stamping legs and flailing arms.

“JJ…” Your skull shakes. You feel a metallic, crimson wetness roll down over your lips. “You’ve driven me to this, Jonathan.”

It’s coming from up there. That room. It’s your voice – your voice, if you were an angel, if you were a god. It makes your eyes shake in your head and the children scream in pain.

Little Alexander and littler Claire float out, their hands enjoined in a white-knuckled tryst, their pyjamas trailing tongues of fire. Their eyes are immense, black pits, and betwixt their head hangs a diadem of shrieking, searing nothingness.

“You’ve driven me to this…”

Just – just looking at it hurts. Christ.

You grit your teeth and, for some reason, you pull back your hood. If you’re gonna do this, you’re doing it as you, not as Unspecified Hobo #342,000,000. Might as well die looking pretty.

“What a fucking surprise!” You shout up at him-it-them, trying hard as hell to keep your voice even. “Too weak to possess me, so you go after the kids. Lame!”

The children are rushing the exits. Not much you can do except keep this – this thing – busy. And right now that means keeping all of its immense, jealous hate focused on you.

“Perhaps. You did drive me to this, Jonathan, but it will hardly be a point in your favour.” You flinch, clenching your fists and trying not to balk. Fuck, you hope he’s less wordy in this form. Every syllable out of his mouth is like someone tightening a clamp around your head. “I am receding into the dark, but I will take these ones with me. I told you, did I not? Two hosts cannot sustain me. I’m burning them out. They’ll be mine to play with for eternity, and that will be upon you.”

…Well, that’s just fucking petty.

>[X] Stall.

You start walking. Towards him. Why, perhaps, you’ll never decipher.

You ascend the stairs at a measured gait, the thing’s black gaze following you all the way. You stay to one side to allow the last straggling children through. Up ahead, at the top of the stairs, a crucifix hangs upon one wall, watching over the decidedly infernal proceedings. If you can just get to that, maybe… well, it’s supposed to work, isn’t it?

“So, what about you, then?” You ask, injecting your tone with as much mock as possible. “Back to the losing side? Back to licking the Prince of Lies’ boots?”

Its dual faces grin in unison.

“You are only demonstrating your ignorance, Jonathan.” You think you feel a blood vessel burst in your nose. Or something. “The Morningstar quit Hell some time ago. The Abyss is, for the most part, a meritocracy. Something you will no doubt learn for yourself one day, when your guilt and your self-pity drags you there.”

“Fascinating.”

Actually it probably is, but you’re not there to discuss theological crap with a demon. That said, what you’re actually about to do is almost as ridiculous.
>>
>(2/2)

“And,” You begin, stuttering a little “though I walk through the Shadow of the Valley of Death”–

“…What are you doing, Jonathan?”

– “I shall fear no evil”–

“That can be amended, I’m sure.”

– “because THOU ART A PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!”

You grab the crucifix – yes, yes you made it! – and thrust it in the creature’s face(s).

Nothing happens.

It laughs. It laughs in a voice of shattered edges and falling bones.

“Really, Jonathan?”

Your crucifix explodes.

You yelp in pain, splinters biting into your hand, and the force of the blast lifts you off your feet, slamming you against the opposite wall. Fuck. Christ, this hurts. Your hand – it’s been absolutely mangled. What isn’t full of splinters is horribly burned.

“Christianity? Really? You think that, of all the thousands of faiths to have infested the history of this planet, the billions of this galaxy, the untold trillions of this universe, you get to have the special one? I was ancient before your drunk and stoned Abraham was a whisper in his father’s sack.”

Shit. You don’t have… ghost physics… on your side now. And apparently you don’t have Jesus, either. You just have you. How the hell do you fight this thing?

You know what you have?

You have what (almost) every hobo has. You have your stupid puffy coat. You have your unshaven stubbly face. You have your brain. You have your hands. And you have a pretty fucking powerful need to survive – a need that will drive you to do just about anything, no matter how terrible an idea it might seem later, so long as you can see another shitty day of your shitty life.

“I had to try, didn’t I?” You spit, trying not to think about how much this next bit is liable to hurt. “Also, your face is sack.”

You lunge for the kids’ hands. You’ll bet fucking anything that that’s what’s keeping him anchored to both of them – that without them connected, he’s straight out of luck.

You stagger back as a burst of flame slices across the floorboards before you, encircling the demon and its hosts in a fiery ring. Fire. Fire.

Fire.

You feel your throat dry up instantly. Your knees all but desert you.

“Nice try, but if I’ve learned anything from the debacle of our mingling, Jonathan…” God, you hate that smug mimicry of your voice. “It’s you can be quite well trusted to curl up and cry when faced with this particular obstacle.”

You breathe sharply. You – god, fuck, how can you be this pathetic? You can’t be like this. You can’t. And it –

“It’s not going to end like this. It’s not going to end like this. It’s”– You don’t know how many times you repeated it. It became your heartbeat. It circles your head as a mantra, taking you out along the lake, flying, watching from that crystal vantage. You remember it all so well.

“It’s not going to end like this…”

Your father’s funeral is like a ghost in your memory. You remember the curtains, the white, the candles and their thin, pale strips of flame. Even your mother’s death has decayed, falling apart and unwinding, leaving only the gristle, only the shadow. But the shore, the lake, the night, they are perfect and forever.

“It’s not going to end like this…”

You’re going back to your dumb apartment. You’re going back to Noriko. You’re going back to Kevin. You’re going back to Laura. Hell, you might even be glad to see Layla after this. You’re going back to them because it’s not going to end like this.

“It’s not going to end like this!” You scream it, you become it, you let it move you without thought or understanding, you let it program your reactions and galvanize your body, let it be the only thing that can shift you, the only think that can shake you. “It’s not going to end like this!”

You plunge through the fire. Your stomach is a shrivelled mess and there are tears in your eyes and you’re sweating cold rivers but you make it over and you clamp your hands down – you clamp your hands the fuck down – on the kids’ wrists. And you pull.

“No!” It shrieks. It shrieks it in your voice, in Alex’s voice, in Claire’s voice, in a voice of clashing spears.

They come apart and it screams. You strain your arms and pull, pull, pull. There’s something drawing them back, some magnetism between them, the creature’s will dragging them back, but you will not let go. Even when your throat seizes up and you feel invisible fingers tightening around your neck, you don’t let go. Even when you see, half-realized in the haze, the vast silhouette of the thing, a faceless angel wreathed in smoking, twisting colour, you don’t let go.

You grind your teeth and ignore your palms burning and scream and pull.

And in one great heave of thunder, as though the forces driving them together have suddenly turned outward, they come apart.

phasing could have done the same job
>>
>>28059323
>No phasing
Why crusty.
Why do you do this to us? Tonight could of been the night. We were getting closer and closer
>>
>>28059416
Eh, claws are fine, they'll be revamped soon to be actually useful on higher levels.
>>
>>28059424

At level one?

HA
>>
>>28059424
This. This is what I don't understand
Everyone clambers to get a certain mutant power that will help us out in that situation. Saying it's more useful than phasing for that situation. But phasing is useful for EVERYTHING and we just ended up wasting points for powers we won't really use again
>>
>>28059424
Not if we botched the roll.
>>
>>28059362
Don't I? Am I... missing some part of twitter? God dammit this arcane social net whatever technology. Seriously though I won't be around much, but I'll squeeze at least one session in.

>>28059380
Oh man speaking of which, that is most def changing now. Though it actually took up less 'slots' than certain other powers, seeing as it was less impressive at endgame than most.
>>
>>28059447
>Level 1
>Phase for a few seconds
In a few seconds you could easily walk through a wall probably even two
>>
>>28059447
That actually would've worked. Just blink out a footstep from the webbing. I still wouldn't have bought either, since we could've tried talking the situation down and had Laura cut us loose.
>>
>>28059474
That's like saying why play the quest if you can botch the rolls?
>>
>>28059357
You'll get access to it again later. Or something like it.

Same goes for phasing.
>>
>>28059494
>implying you can control it at lvl 1
>>
>>28059512
>I still wouldn't have bought either, since we could've tried talking the situation down and had Laura cut us loose.
this, just thinking about it still gets me mad.
I was ok with us buying powers that were useful to the situation ,but the thread before we had a plan and even agreed to talking it out with spiderman(which we ended up doing any fucking way) and getting Laura to release us.
>>
>>28059323
We just fought a supernatural intangible ghost demon.
Why.
Why would you do this?
>>
>>28059514
That's like saying if you want a shoe, why not grow a moustache?
>>
>>28059528
Have you considered a mutation-remover for maybe one or two mutations (without getting the points back) if there was a demand for it?
>>
>>28059564
Probably has something to do with the part where we basically ate ourselves
we also havent checked ourselves after we plane shifted
we might have wings and other new shit now
>>
>>28059564
Well, technically, it wasn't phased. It didn't have a corporeal body at all.

You could mimic demon powers you'd be more likely to manifest pyrokinesis or a weird sanity-scraping voice or something. Or, hell, telekinesis even.
>>
>>28059528
Even though I'm pretty sure we're banking, is there any chance you wouldn't mind throwing up the revised claws tree and our potential purchase list?

Also, guys, I know you don't want to spend anything right now, but we really should boost our healing. We have some serious burns and a limited time window with which to recover (we're gonna miss work reguardless, but we need to be in working condition for the Creeper when that second job comes due).
>>
>>28059610
or demon wings
SERIOUSLY GIVE ME DEMON WINGS
FUCKING HYPE
>>
>>28059610
TK sounds attractive.
>>
Only reason I voted for claws was because they came paired with improved strenght, which I thought we totally needed.
>>
>>28059602
I have. I may present the opportunity to drop a mutation or two at some point.
>>
>>28059624
Good point actually.
>>
>>28059610
Huh, I would have expected memory corruption and maybe some limited illusion based power to be on that list.
>>
>>28059632
TK is honestly the one power I'm highly unlikely to ever offer.
>>
>>28059649
I like the powers we have so far though.
>>
So what would have happened if we let the demon possess us or we failed the willpower roll?
>>
>>28059692
a man can dream
>>
>>28059692
Because it can be crazy broken?
>>28059610
But just imagine JJ with pyrokinesis!
>>
>>28059635
Not really at the time it was said that either or can help you get out of the webbing and just getting both would have sped things up.
>>
>>28059649
Aww, I really like our current build though!
>>
>>28059733
It was only a matter of time before Luara got webbed or started trying to stab spidey. Either of which would have made it much harder to talk her down.
>>
>>28059732
>Pyrokinesis
Awww hell yiss
>>
>>28059624

>Claws & Fangs
Level 1: Small claws/fangs.
Level 2: Claws can now be altered in size (growing up to 10”) and may slice through steel.
Level 3: Claws may now be modified so as to be heavy or long (going to 18” at longest and thinnest). They are highly resistant to damage.
Level 4: Your claws may be shot, but take some time to regenerate. They are roughly as durable as adamantine.
Level 5: Claws that can be shot more often and can 'conduit' for other abilities.

I'll post the abilities you can currently upgrade momentarily.
>>
>>28059692
Um, exactly how badly injured is JJ right now? Was the fire we plunged through real or an illusion?
>>
>>28059763
>started trying to stab spidey
She would have scratched him at most, and getting her webbed wouldn't be the worse thing since it would have held her down long enough for us to tell her to stop, plus it didn't take much to convince spider man to leave us alon all we did by getting out of the webbing was show off our powers.
>>
the more i think about it the more JJ is becoming a demon
Claws and fangs
scales/carapace
Possible wings in the future
pyrokinesis
>>
>>28059785
Oh, that's much more attractive! Also, claws are hands and feet right? Any enhancements to our fangs as we progress?
>>
There are three types of powers you can purchase in Homeless Mutant Quest! CORE POWERS, which are the bread and butter of your powerset, SECONDARY POWERS, which are additional abilities or powers from other sets that are also appropriate to yours, and TERTIARY POWERS, which are powers only tangentially related to yours. All can be purchased and levelled, but Tertiary Powers can never be maxed out. Powers have five levels… except when they don’t.

The powers currently available to you are:

CORE POWERS:
>Invisibility Lvl4
>Enhanced Senses Lvl4

SECONDARY POWERS:
>Enhanced Agility Lvl2
>Claws & Fangs Lvl2
>Adhesive Touch Lvl2
>Electrostatic Touch Lvl2

TERTIARY POWERS:
>Enhanced Strength Lvl2
>Healing Factor Lvl2

You have two points to spend. First level powers cost one point, second level powers cost two, and so on. The exceptions are your Core Powers, which cost one less than usual.
>>
>>28059785
This is actually pretty nice. Lvl 2 wouldn't be that bad if we don't want to use the electro touch welding option to get past steel.

I'm saying that Luara wasn't amped up to full combat mode yet. It's harder to get her to comeback to rationality once she's really started cutting loose.
>>

Also, not a vote for claws. Just a comment.
I say join the Mutant Banker's Guild.

>>28059790
Real, but very low. You actually more or less jumped over it. Burned your coat a little and possibly your jeans.

However, touching the kids burned your hands pretty bad. You're basically not utilizing any kind of precise dexterity for the next day or two.
>>
>>28059817
Electrostatic Touch lvl 2, we're gonna zap some mutherfuckas.
>>
>>28059817

I suggested it before because I honestly think we need it now.
>>
>>28059857
>were fucked up for the next few days
WELP HEALING 2 SURE SOUNDS NICE
>>
>>28059857
Wait... Aren't we scheduled to sell papers tomorrow? Shit, maybe I should vote for healing...
>>
>>28059815
Feet are less growable but they're there. Your fangs get harder but not sharper, as you'd cut your mouth to ribbons otherwise.
>>
>>28059885
Alternatively, we could just wear gloves
>>
>>28059870
>>28059880
Fuck it, let's go for it.
"Hey Laura, I've got a Healing factor too"
>>
So who is up for training with Laura?
>>
Crusty, have we attracted the attention of the Sorcerer Supreme?

Have we also attracted the attention of a stronger sorcerer who is a multiclass science ranger with favored enemy: RICHAAAAAAAAARDS?
>>
>>28059831

What we need is either Medium or Light armour, more strength, wings, and stronger electrostatic touch and we could easily be some kind of electric dragon.
>>
>>28059817
>Healing Factor Lvl2
>>
>>28059890
Cool. The fangs I assume are retractable?
>>
>>28059895

We already heal at 20x normal rate. I'm sure in a day we'll be all healed.
>>
>>28059894
True... Do we have gloves? Mostly I was thinking how this could negatively impact our paper slinging skills. And how to explain it to Peter when we talk to him again, but he totally would understand what it's like to heal up from stuff in a day or two.
>>
>>28059902
I'd be down for light armor, but we'll have to wait for it to unlock.
>>
>>28059919
Yeah. Everything is.

>>28059900
Yeah actually you totally haven't at all sorry.
>>
>>28059929
Well, it is winter time, so I guess it wouldn't be too far fetched to get gloves.
>>
>>28059923
he said 2 -3 days anon.
>>
>>28059934

Yeah. I've been pro Light armour for a while. I just want more X-points to spend.
>>
>>28059935
Damn, we rescue orphans from a demon and no notice at all? "I get no respect..."
>>
>>28059935
>powerful ancient demon almost rips himsel into reality
>no one cares
wat
>>
>>28059923
I suppose that's fast enough.
I want that Invis 4 too after all.
>>
>>28059947
So if we get healing 2, we can go to work tommorow?
>>
>>28059929
You guys totally have gloves.

You've been hiding your freaky scaly hands in them.
>>
>>28059967
Yup.
>>
>>28059894
True. I guess we could pretend to have minor frostbite to explain the greatly reduced dexterity and the rapid recovery. Still think we should just invest in healing though, but I might convince myself otherwise by voting time.
>>
>>28059958
Strange is a busy man.

DOOM does not care because it does not help him thwart that villain Richards.

>>28059956
Hey, I didn't say that NOBODY would notice.
>>
>>28059947

Yeah but I thought that was a bit extreme. Burns that would take a normal person 60 days to heal?

>>28059968
Perfect. It'd be pretty painful too though. Especially our partially skinless hands sticking to the inside.
>>
>>28059968
Yeah, that's right. I'ma stick with the Bankers, since we can take a breather until we need to do favors for Laura or another Creeper job.
>>
>>28059968
Didn't the kids just burn the shit out of our gloves when we grabbed them? Or did I miss us removing the gloves when we dropped the hoodie?
>>
>>28059958
"For every hero commemorated, a thousand martyrs die unmourned and unremembered."
>>
>>28059993
The police sure will.
>>
>>28059993
...positive notice/respect? From more than Layla and our hobo clan?
>>
>>28059993
Is it good notice or bad notice?

Though I get the feeling we may wind up wanted.
>>
>>28059993
Well of course somebody noticed, we have to get blamed for the murder of that nun don't we? Plus I'm sure that demon is still pissed...
>>

I'm sure the economy will stabilize with all these X-points we put in the bank.

>>28060119
Well, you chose to save an orphanage while risking not only your life, but also your soul.
>>
Healing Factor takes it by one point.

>>28060119

You could have run, but instead you went back into battle with a demon that legitimately was around for the War in Heaven. And you did it For The Children.
>>
Just looking up burn heal times on Wikipedia, We must have some real bad second degree burns on our hands. If Healing Lvl 2 takes it, maybe it is a good thing.

Well, I guess every power is an upgrade.

>>
>>28060260
And? This wouldn't be the first time JJ's been crippled/in pain.

>>28060151
last thread you mentioned JJ lost some teeth when he got nearly executed, Burning Man style. Have those grown back since healing factor? Or is he still Ol' Gaptooth?
>>
>>28060260
Probably bad second degrees, but remember we basically had a small firecracker explode in a clenched hand. That could actually have been worse damage than the burns (I assume we used adhesive touch to hang on to the kids).
>>
>>28060284
He was missing two teeth. Seeing as you just bought your second Healing Factor level, however, he won't be for long.

>>28060297
Correct, you've suffered really nasty 2nd degree burning. A normal human would take just under three weeks to heal such an injury.
>>
>>28060284
Probably went to an underground dentist/doctor to get them fixed.
>>
>>28060284
theyll start growing back now or sure
>>
>>28060297
>>28060297

From>>28060239 and Wikipedia
Healing times of 40-60 days are for 3rd degree burns. I would not relish having skinless hands for a day.
>>
>>28060330
with healing factor 2 how many hours is it now?
>>
>>28060330
So why 2-3 days of healing then? I thought level 1 was 20x faster? 3 weeks is 21 days so recover in one day?
>>
>>28060368
Clearly the burns were worse than Crusty realized and would have taken roughly 50 days for a baseline to heal.
>>
>>28060355
>>28060368
Did the math real quick, 8.4 hours.
>>
>>28060368
it was probably on the verge of 3rd degree plus we probably broke a few bones in our hands.
>>
>>28060355
Probably 14-ish.

>>28060368
Magic. I jest not. You weren't burned by fire, you were burned by hellfire.
>>
>>28060368
Healing Factors have historically been dickishly variable in efficiency, clearly that trend has continued in young JJ.
