You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

Egged on by the lure of a steady paycheck, you’ve sought out a seedy underground club known as the Tabbycat, in the hopes that whoever runs the joint likes the way you work the piano. You’re not entirely sure that this is such a great idea, but you’re here now, so you guess you’ll have to just pray for the best and expect the worst.

Laura lags a little behind as you make your way toward the entrance, the neon pink glow of the club’s exterior washing over you. You can’t help but feel markedly out of place as you meander up to those broad, black doors, all wrapped up in your tattered coat and old jeans. The huge fellows at the door seem to feel the same way, and one of them sidles ever so slightly closer to the entrance, regarding you with hard, cold eyes. He cuts the same vague outline as one of the men you pulled Creeper’s little heist with – a bald head squatting atop a bulging, barely-contained wall of musculature.

Where the hell do they get these guys? It’s like they come off a conveyer belt.

As you approach, he holds up a meaty hand. You stop in your tracks.

“I don’t think this is your scene, friend.” His voice is a low, self-assured rumble. “You have any invite?”

My friends, with one final X point left to be earned I feel that last power choice should spent with considerations for potential misfortunes. Like the sword of Damocles, crack bitch status constantly looms over our hero, Johnathan James Green. We cannot manipulate the dice, we can only brace for impact. Which is why, my friends, that I ask that our final selection for chapter one be to take Healing Factor to its maximum of Level 3.

>Level 2: 60x the healing rate of a human.

>Level 3: Can rapidly cuts, bruises, and wounds caused by small arms fire. May concentrate to heal broken or shattered bones quicker. Can regrow lost limbs… over the course of several days.

I reiterate my friends, we can not avoid crack bitch rolls only brace for them and I feel with Healing Factor LV 3, we will be able to rebound from them much sooner.

>[X] Tell them you’re looking for a job.

You clear your throat, mostly to give yourself a moment of thought. You tell yourself that, despite all appearances, you’re probably stronger than both of these guys combined. They’re not gonna hurt you, just possibly laugh at you.

“Um, I heard you’re in need of a pianist.” Eyebrows rise. You cough awkwardly. “Not you, personally, I mean. The owner. Of this place. I heard that they were looking for a pianist.”

Eurgh.

The man indulges in a long silence, looking you over.

“You can play piano?” He asks, eventually, a note of incredulity entering the tectonic grind of his voice. “You sure about that?”

“Y-yeah…”

He glances at Laura. “And, what, she plays the flute?”

I was just trying to say that when we get fucked by the dice, I think taking healing factor 3 would be a nice safety net from the fallout.

I'd feel a lot better with it when we eventually butt heads with those ass clowns from the facility or those Hellion jerks.

we have a tendency to roll like shit and it just not safe for a mugga period.

Invisibility 4 is my second choice (strength is 3rd)

Its just we could have +10 modifier and still fail the roll. the dice gods enjoy failure in these threads.

Invisibility 4 is a solid choice and I have no problems with it. I just feeling healing is the safer choice.

>>28904446
yes it does come with an agility penalty, its also locked from us and we'll probably never get either armor. Crusty is making a new list for ch2
>>
>>28904501
Same thing with medium armor though.
If I understood it correctly, Light armor stops pistol rounds, Medium armor stops rifle rounds.

Invisibility 4
Enhanced Senses 4
Enhanced Agility 2
Claws or Electrostatic Touch 2

This. All my this.

If you guys don't pick either of these I have lost faith
>>
>>28904558
I feel at this juncture, enhanced senses 4 is a trap option, it comes with no new powers just a higher step all around.

Invisibility 4 and Healing 3 offer more immediate benefits and I assume shit starts happening at the end of CH1.

I think Senses can wait for now.
>>
>>28904558
I've been wanting to get invisibility 4.
>>
All i know is that level 4 senses lets us find the creeper and basically makes every other senses other than smell better than lauras, plus it seems like after the power shift Crusty is either adding levels to our core powers or extra abilities.
There is also Invisibility Level 4 which basically lets us include friends when we go invisible and helps us hide our mutant markings by making them invisible(so better control of what goes invisible).
>>
I personally want agility 2
>>
Agility 2 for me. Gotta go fast. Wanna be Sanic.
>>
I'm out. hope this thread's still here when I get back.
>>
>>28904612
Well, enhanced senses 4 does give us good enough scent to find creeper on our own and it makes ambushing us nearly impossible.

I'm honestly fine with either invisibility or senses.
>>
I want enhanced agility 2 or Electrostatic Touch 2
>>
>>28904521
I'm with you on healing, followed by invisibility.
I would say invisibility first, but... well, we're trying to get money through piano.
If we don't get healing, you just know we're going to get our arms ripped off next time we see Kimura. Or anyone with reasonably high strength.
It'll still happen if we DO... but at least we'll be able to recover.
>>
>>28904612
>I think Senses can wait for now.
I remember crusty saying that he will probably add things to senses level 4 and that enhanced senses level 4 gets us closer to spider sense. Also having better senses is always good.(shown by our level 3 enhanced hearing being almost on the level of daredevils.)
>>
>>28904668
we could heal our arms with level 2 healing factor if my memory is right, but we would stay disabled for like a month.

>[X] “Look, I’m not trying to pull a fast one on you, I’m just here for a job.”

You can’t help but sigh.

“Look,” You begin, lifting your hands in that universal, open-palmed gesture of honesty. People like that. “I’m not trying to pull a fast one on you, I’m just here for a job. I know I don’t look it, but I’m a pretty good”– You were going to say great, but sort of tripped up over the g –“pianist.”

The bouncer lets you stew in another brief moment anticipation, rolling his jaw in wide, pronounced circles, as if trying to grind the truth out of your assertions. Eventually he nods and steps aside.

“Alright, head on in.” He pauses, and adds: “Manager should get round to you if you ask for her at the bar. Watch yourself.”

“Thanks.” You nod in appreciation and step inside.

Huh. You remember this place being smaller.

It’s one big, dim hall, the light angled ever so slightly toward the crimson edge of the spectrum. The centre of the club is dominated by a long bar, internal lighting turning the counter into a curved, luminous band of soft white. Neat, faux-marble tables dot the floor, and little alcoves line the walls, providing discreet booths for the cautious kind of criminal. A spiral staircase leads up to a second floor.

A few heads turn as you walk towards the bar, but for the most part, you’re ignored.

You sit down at one of the stools lining the bar and wait. Eventually, a neatly-trimmed young lady with a heavily plastered smile asks you what you’d like.

The user can perceive the world around themselves based solely on the patterns of magnetic and electrical energy. Some users may able to see the natural magnetic auras surrounding living beings, as well.
The entire electromagnetic spectrum or most of it is visible to the user and can "tune" their vision to interpret the various ranges of the energy. They can see radio waves (which includes AM, FM, and TV frequencies), radar, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, power waves, x-rays, gamma rays, and even cosmic rays. They also have limited night-vision and thermovision.

The user can also see the energy flowing through power lines and technological objects (can tell if they are active or not). They can tell if a radio transmitter is 'on' and if it is sending signals.

“Actually, I’m here about a job.” You answer, smiling politely. “I heard you guys were looking for a pianist?”

She hides her reservations relatively well, only pausing a moment before telling you she’ll get the manager. Man, she’s probably gonna introduce you as “some hobo” or “some weird guy in thick shades” or worse. And, judging by the décor, this manager person has gotta be fucking loaded. They’ve probably never even shared air with someone of your scarce social standing.

This might be a seriously tough sell.

Beside you, Laura wrinkles her nose, her eyes slowly sweeping across the room. She’s tense.

>Enhanced Taste
Users may be able to detect poisons or other problems, Usually accompanies enhanced smell.

>Enhanced Vision
Can see with amazing clarity, distance, or color, perhaps even in a different spectrum of light or into other dimensions.
Other Senses:
>Enhanced Awareness
All senses are attuned to nearby activity.
>Extrasensory Perception(basically level 5 senses.)
Also known as the "Sixth Sense", users of this rare ability can feel changes without knowing how or why, often reaching into Clairvoyance, Danger Intuition, Precognition, Psychic Navigation and/or Mediumship.

“Hey…” You lean in a little closer, keeping your tone low. Laura twitches in barely-noticeable surprise, her eyes flickering toward you. “You alright? Anyone you recognize out there?”

The place isn’t exactly bustling, but only because its specific clientele aren’t the ‘bustle’ type of people. Most of the tables are occupied, but the collective of hushed conversations amounts to more of an omnipresent murmur than the sprawling hubbub these places generally pound your skull with. The booths at the back occasionally rattle with the sound of rolling dice, or the click-clack of some Asian game played with little numbered bricks, but their occupants keep to themselves. You don’t see Silvermane anywhere, and you don’t see anyone you know.

You guess Creeper’s lot really are too grungy for this joint.

“I’m fine.” Laura replies, at length.

“You sure? You seem kind of tense.”

She turns back to surveying the club. “You are not entirely comfortable either.”

Well, you guess that’s true.

After a few minutes spent inspecting the quiet gloom, you hear the click of heels approaching, and turn to see a slim woman in her mid-twenties descending the nearby stairs, her eyes fixed upon you. She’s impeccably neat, clad in a fitting, pinstriped suit and carrying herself in a manner that seems to suggest a mind made up of straight lines. Her dark hair is cut mercilessly short.

She clicks her way toward you, carrying a small, amused smile with her. You can’t help but get the impression that that’s her default face.

“You’re here to play the piano for me, are you?” She doesn’t extend a hand. Well, you weren’t expecting one. “You look just about desperate enough to be a musician. I assume this place was rather far down your list of openings, hmm?”

What else does JJ know besides Chopin?

some Mozart? Beethoven? and is it just classical? Jazz? Blues?
>>
>>28906087
Rachmaninoff

I know just classical, since it was said by Crusty that JJ wanted to learn stuff like the Entertainer, but his mother made him learn Classical instead.

“Actually, it was my first choice.” You reply.

She cocks her head to the side, her eyes narrowing minutely, subtly changing the context of that little smile she wears. You feel vaguely like you’re being stripped of your nice warm layers, and are about to be told off and sent to the office. If you weren’t currently possessed of the extreme motor control afforded by climbing nerves, this would be the part where you gulp dumbly and blurt out something very embarrassing.

“Is that so?” A hand comes to rest on her hip, black nails glimmering very slightly in the half-light. “I think it was more like your only choice.”

“Hence, first.” Best to keep things short. You’re not entirely certain of your ability to be coherent. “I’m John Green, by the way. Nice to meet you, Miss…?”

“Hardy.” She states. “Felicia Hardy.” Her gaze moves toward Laura, who meets her eyes with one of those trademark opaque stares of hers. “Is this a double-act, or…?”

An excruciating moment passes as Laura slowly constructs something resembling a smile, her eyes remaining fixed in place. Eventually she glances at you, as if seeking the correct answer.

“Er, no, she’s just a friend.” You interject hastily. Another few seconds and Miss Hardy’s pointed gaze would probably be producing lightsaber sounds as it sears up against Laura’s verdant green bulkheads.

“-Just- a friend?” She whips around toward you. You get the faint impression that you’re about to be told you’ve been a very bad boy indeed, and that the wax is only a just punishment. It doesn’t go away when she turns back to Laura. “What’s your name, honey?”

“Minerva.” Replies the younger girl, hardly missing a beat.

Huh.

“So…” You cut in again, trying to move things back toward the subject of your employability. “I’m guessing I need to audition, or something?”

Her gaze washes over you. She seems to consider you for a moment, a vaguely predatory gleam clinging at the edges of her eyes, before she finally shrugs.

“Yes, I suppose you do. Follow me.” Her heels click and she heads back toward the stairs. “And, please, take off those awful glasses.”

Well, this had to happen eventually.

You consider your options as you follow her up the stairs. A few vaguely interested patrons glance at you, but they quickly return to whatever pursuit of ill-repute it was that brought them to the Tabbycat. Scars? Nasty scars? Nobody wants to talk to a guy with conveniently glasses-shaped burns across his eyes – that’s just weird, right? There’s always the possibility of some light sensitive condition. Those are a thing. You could even be blind!

Of course, all these excuses sort of fail to account for dreaded scenario in which Miss Kiss the Whip (or anyone else) turns around and asks you to prove it. At that point everything falls apart and suddenly you’re not just any mutie, but a filthy liar mutie.

You bundle up the nerves skitter-scratching across your skin and swallow them, reaching up for your glasses. Can’t. Can’t. You–

“John.” Laura’s voice slips through the collective purr of the Tabbycat. She’s barely whispering, but you can hear her just fine. “Are you having difficulties? Your heart…”

It’s doubled its pace, yeah.

You reach back, opening your hand, grasping. You feel nothing but empty, anxious air for a moment, and then Laura’s fingers fold their way through yours.
>>
>>28908168
>and then Laura’s fingers fold their way through yours.
Aww, gay.

>(2/2)

You remove your glasses and emerge into the upstairs portion of the club. It’s not as large, but far more lavishly decorated, broad, plump couches orbiting a selection of large tables. The floor ends abruptly on one side, becoming an indoor veranda that must overlook the rest of the club. In one corner, sitting holy silence, stands a grand piano.

You feel a vaguely interested gaze settle upon you. You glance back, but withdraw all curiosity immediately – sitting on one of the couches beside the railings, surrounded by cronies, is Silvio Manfredi. Silvermane, acting head of the New York Maggia. So that’s where he went.

Miss Hardy turns back to you, motioning toward the piano, and there is only a slight warble in her step as she catches the uncanny glimmer of your eyes. She looks away quickly and marches towards the hulking instrument.

“I don’t suppose those are contacts?” She asks, her voice retaining its sharp edge but lowering its volume.

>[X] “Nope.”
>[X] Ask if it’s a problem.
>[X] Ask if there’s any kind of piece she’d prefer.

“Nope.” You reply, not bothering to embellish your answer. “Is that a problem?”

“Not for me.” Surprisingly gently, she urges you toward the piano, her hand brushing at your shoulders. She has a strange, vivid sort of touch – you can almost feel her nails through the plump fluff of your coat. “This sector has always been… open-minded… when it comes to its choice of employees.”

You suppose that’s a fancy way of saying that superpowers are useful for crime stuff.

You sit down at the piano, taking a moment to admire the pristine condition of the thing. It’s an old model, but perfectly preserved. Someone took a great interest in keeping this old warhorse primed and ready for use. It’s beautiful.

“Come.” You glance up. Miss Hardy is ushering Laura away to one of the tables. “Let’s give your friend some space.”

You clear your throat pointedly. She turns back to you.

“Is there any particular piece you’d prefer?”

Her smile widens very slightly.

“I have an affection for Liszt, myself. But I’m not the one you should be aiming to impress.” She nods toward Silvermane, who is still watching, his face in tenuous balance between vague interest and aged severity.

Right. You remove your gloves, and, for once, pull back your hood.

You breathe in. The air here is close and thick, and spiced with the eclectic scents of smoke and drink and rattish behaviour. You close the door on tired old Silvio and his rigid stare. You close the door on sharply-stepping Miss Hardy. She’s saying something to Laura as they sit down, but you fold it out, creasing the world into origami isolation, feeling only yourself, your fibres, your blood and meat and bone. You close the door on Laura. On the men downstairs arguing about chips, on the girl mixing drinks, on the velvety Cajun voice bragging of its invincibility in a game of cards, on the fading scent of cordite, on the world.

You let your fingers fall upon the keys. You feel yourself extend into the grand old monster of wood and string and music, its bones becoming your bones, its wooden hatch becoming your mouthpiece, its stories becoming your stories, and your songs its language.

Pops was a top notch doctor employed directly by big name Oil companies and had his own laboratory in his house, underground.

Mum came from a moderately wealthy background, and was probably the one who got us into the piano thing.

They had a estate by Lake Michigan, I think.

Well, he probably has a stash of clones waiting to thaw, since that's his Thing. But the original Red Skull is indeed dead.

or a clone. Johann loves his clones

Are the powers we didn't get before the lock down going to be available?

>>28910502
it doesn't stop him from not making money, from what we learned he was a drunkard for almost all of JJs life and his mother was dying.
Those two things will cause a financial hole.

Oddly enough, I haven't considered the exact date. It's gotta be sometime in late November or early December, though.

We need something to stand out from all the other generic flight powers. I think non-physical wings would be best. Like ghost wings.

I do not recall this. My recollection of Joshua Green is that of a workaholic.

You would be correct. He wasn't a drunkard. He drank when stuff went catastrophically wrong or his research seemed to hit a dead end, and you have had one flashback where he's drunk, but it wasn't a constant state of affairs for him.

He was a coffee fiend, though. The reprobate.

>>28910791
Wings are fucking awesome

>>28910791
Flight is fucking cool?

I'm hoping the demonic taint turns lizard elf full dragon modo.

Worse than Hitler confirmed.

Gabby is recruited by Stephen Strange Wolverine and 12 other dwarves to investigate the rumors of JJ's demise and reclaim his dads stash of genetic research, tricks toad out of a magic ring along the way.
