You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

Your heart pounds against your chest. You’re alone. You’re in a building full of gun-toting psychopaths and you’re alone.

What’s worse, you think one of them can see you – or smell you, or something. The thick, heady gas they pumped in clogs your eyes with tears. It’s taking all but the outlying scraps of your concentration to keep you from bursting into a fit of desperate coughing. You know there’s someone else out there, moving like a shadow through the gas, but you can’t quite keep track of them.

There it is again. Ker-klack. Heels on floorboards – one after the other, each step seeming to cross unfeasible distances, first one place then another. You recall the other sound, the sound of metal sliding through flesh, a slow, playfully drawn-out version of the SNIKT you’ve become increasingly more familiar with. Maybe it’s the gas. Maybe it’s not just tear-gas. Maybe it’s doing something to your head.

You try to calm down. If they could see you, you’d be dead.

You can get out of this. By the skin of your teeth, maybe, but out nonetheless.

Crusty, we have a karma point. Can we spend it on the critfail to keep the nat 20?
>>
>>32862307

I dunno, Nat 100 and Nat 1 are more impressive in a 3d100 system for obvious reasons.

1s are the most common outcome in a 3d20 system anyway.

More importantly does JJ know trigger scent exists? We've spent a lot of time with Laura I'm assuming she mentioned it to him before.

Even if he knows about it he has no way of knowing what it smells like.

Crusty only uses the first three rolls. The first roll was a 9 and the other two cancel each other out.

You’ve just gotta be quiet. You’ve just gotta scrunch up all those nerves and that coughing and the ever-scratching urge to run run run and shove them somewhere far, far down.

You slip through the gas, moving from one careful step to the next. Heavily-armoured men, their faces reduced to an equal sum by their helmets, tread swiftly and quietly alongside you. Their footfalls are disturbingly low – not quiet enough to elude you entirely, but just enough so to make you wonder what their boots are made of. Maybe they’ve got some kind of… sound… dampening… thingymathing… worked into their uniforms.

The gas thins out as you make your way into the lobby. The long tables lie overturned, a small army – you’re counting fifteen at least – of gunmen stalking cautiously through the half-light. The gas is thinner here, probably –

KER-ohshit-LACK!

You twist on your heels, but you’re not quite fast enough. Something scores five long, thin cuts along your arm, biting cleanly through flesh and fabric alike. Panicking, you stumble away through the gas, almost tripping yourself up in the mad rush to be far away.

Christ. Hurts. Hurts in a cold, clean way – between the snicker-snaps of pain lancing up your arm, your brain conjures a barrage of surgical images; scalpels, razors, stainless steel.

The gunmen turn to focus on a female figure, half-obscured by the gas. Her shape is slim and serpentine, squeezed into the silhouette of a long, flowing dress. One of the shadow-thing’s arms ends in a set of perilously long, thin claws.

“He’s here.”

It brings the claws up to its mouth, and you hear flesh gliding over steel.

Fuck, she can probably locate us through our dripping blood. Gonna have to go with >>32862568 . Run fast, get to the upper level, fly away. If she's fast enough, she will ditch her retinue and follow us -she'll be easier to fight without her back up -. If she isn't and tries to track us alongside her team, our enhanced healing should do it's work and end the trail of blood.
>>
>>32862648
The only time JJ ever used it the kid started on fire had his face melted off. We players know that level is only pepper spray but JJ doesn't. JJ thinks it's fire breath.

The DC 18 is because JJ would never willingly shoot fire out of his mouth.

>>32862715

no, JJ knows it ignited something in the guy's jacket. it was in the fucking prose. Don't feed me that line of bullshit anon.

fast healing 3 + subdermal 2. were not going to bleed for long, the wound will heal within minutes, and stop bleeding within seconds.

Agreed. But the murderhobos seem to be out in full force tonight. Be careful.

>>32862512
Stay invisible, get out as fast as possible. Stick to the ceiling if that keeps us out of her reach, otherwise get as close as possible to the gunmen on our way and use them as cover

Strangely, using gunman as cover sounds doable with our senses, geometric vision, and contortion. The problem would be maintaining invis while doing so (in order to decrease death chances).
However, not a vote, as I've already voted.

>[X] Write in.

Can’t stop thinking. She tasted your blood. If you stop thinking you’re going to die.

You jump. You jump as high as you can, reaching out desperately with he the palms of your hands. The ground rapidly retreats into the distance and you stick fast to the ceiling, a murmur of static passing along your fingertips. You heave – it’s harder than it should be, shoulder’s losing feeling, going cold – and pull yourself ‘up’ onto your feet.

Down below, the creature breathes in loudly, chest heaving.

“Up.” Your heart sinks. “He’s on the ceiling. Little cretin is fast.”

The guns turn upwards. You have a second to take it all in, your mind working furiously, suddenly overwhelmed by a bizarre mental map of criss-crossing trajectories, before you have to move.

Gunfire rattles the building. Rounds tear into the concrete, but you’re just ahead of them, moving swiftly across the ceiling. It comes to you, through the fear and the adrenaline, that you can’t believe how fast you are now, how well you can predict the path of each bullet and react accordingly.

Something long – you register it half a second later as one of the tables – swings up through the gas, momentarily kicked horizontal by some precise application of force. It crests up, about to peak, and you see it – her – rising up out of the gloom at dizzying speed, eyes caked with red paint, hips sheathed in that red dress, long black hair trailing like a scorpion’s tail. Claws outstretched, flashing. She’s running up it. She’s running straight at you.

This is insane.

This is a good point. There is only one person in this whole quest that we can't already kill by snapping their neck. That person is Kimura and she's immune to DB. I'm leaving Typhon out because we don't know what his deal is.

She’s fast – the clack-clack-clack of her heels transforms into an uninterrupted line of grey sound as she bolts up the sheer surface. There’s something in her eyes that almost transfixes you. She wants your blood so badly, you almost sympathize with her. It’s not because it’s yours, or because it’s her job, but because she just wants to hurt people. You wonder if Creeper’s eyes look like that.

You drop, catching on of the rearing table legs and swinging off it. As you shoot by her, you swear – you swear – you see one of those bright yellow eyes actually tracking your descent, as if she just knows where you are. Not because of she can smell you or see you, but because she just knows, deep down. The thought fills you with a fresh rush of terrified adrenaline.

You hit the ground hard, rolling. The table slams back down to earth beside you, one of its legs skewed awkwardly to one side, but the predator doesn’t come down with you. You glance up, and realize that she’s dug her claws straight into the ceiling, securing her in place. Her eyes dart frantically through the gas, and she smiles imperiously, withdrawing a hand.

Which… which promptly flips back, folding over its adjoining arm, revealing a complex meshwork of electronics where arteries and bones should be. You sense it coming, just a fraction of a second before some hidden compartment stowed away into the machinery of her arm vomits out a hail of tiny, sharp needles. The sink into the ground in small, focused packets, a second volley following quickly behind the first, only your miraculous sixth sense keeping you a half-second ahead of them.

She laughs. Her men – you can only assume they’re her men – scramble for cover from the deadly hail she’s putting down, and she just laughs.

Posting this now since my phone is low on power. Might not make it.

I think if JJ ever activates Riastrad willingly, there should be a modicum of control at least. Or a second personality for it, like Mr. Hyde or the Hulk. Maybe the personality takes the identity of Cu Chulainn's spirit, but it's just JJ's mind.

Which Marvel villains could genuinely be friends or amiable with JJ? Besides DOOM.

Ideas for casting decisions if HMQ had a show? Gillian Anderson for JJ's mom, maybe.

What version (from whatever book, movie, tv show, etc.) of Lucifer are you using?

I wonder how JJ would do in a fight against the Punisher. I keep thinking badly, but I may be hyping up the Punisher like people hype up Batman.

How old does the Creeper sound?

Does JJ's GeoVision take in outside factors when judging paths? Like gravity, wind direction, etc.

You forgot Victoria's relationship link.

What is JJ's wingspan?

How fast and maneuverable is JJ in the air?

Possible alias (on detective missions) for JJ: Perry Mason.

You can’t keep this up much longer. You can feel your arm going numb. The wound’s healing, but there was something on those claws – it’s slowly insinuating itself through you, weighing down your limbs and tightening your breath. A poison, or a drug, or something. It’s like these people knew you could heal.

Turning on your heels, you break into a flat run, relying on your invisibility to keep you safe. You burst out through heavy iron doors and keep going, slithers of sharp, bright steel slicing through the air around you. You cut it out – the chatter of the guns, the glutted, eager laugh, the military jargon passing through the air. You run as hard and fast as you can.

There are men outside, too. They turn and ready their weapons as you pound by them, your footsteps no longer even remotely hidden. Their guns rattle, cutting bright orange tears into the night, but they’re always a step behind you.

“…Quartz-5”–

“…Secondary Target spotted”–

“…spotter at my location”–

“…to wound, to wound”–

It means nothing. It’s just noise. Terror quickening your legs, you make it past the garage, to the outlying fence. The street is just on the other side. Safety is just on the other side.

Suddenly, your danger sense lights up in the back of your head, singling out one of the five nondescripts black vans parked up ahead, beyond the fence. You feel your muscles tighten pre-emptively, and –

Good idea but we should still turn the other direction to fly. There is a chance that we wont be able to get airborne do to the poison.

>>32865144
What kind of explanation do you need for a paralytic?

They strap mutants down to make drugs out of their horribly mangled torsos, Russian's would want more product and would go for capture just as much as the facility.

>>32865226
>They strap mutants down to make drugs out of their horribly mangled torsos, Russian's would want more product and would go for capture just as much as the facility.

Especially a mutant that can heal, so they get a longer lasting source.
>>
>[X] Run along the fence and escape elsewhere.

That’s not a good sign. That’s literally the opposite of a good sign. It only ever means bad things.

Heeding your internal warning system, you shift your stride, running along the side of the fence. Behind you, you hear the ponderous hiss of heavy machinery, and feel something huge unfurl itself from one of those vans. You probably made the right decision, then.

The guns have stopped now – those nearby, anyway. There’s still a few chatters here and there, off in the distance. Must’ve lost track of you. Over the general hubbub of military-speak you hear someone shout:

“Deploy secondary measures!”

Several deep percussions sound through the night, sending a volley of tiny, bright shapes flying high overhead. As one hits the ground nearby, you realize that they’re canisters – more tear gas, apparently, though this time it has a bitter, acrid taint to it, like a chemical fire. Probably designed to turn your sense of smell into a liability, though it’s not exactly working. You feel a slight, panicked sense of pride swell in your chest. These people must’ve underestimated just how good you’ve gotten at sifting through your sensorium.

Heavy, metallic footsteps shake the ground not far off. You keep running.

The gas is a constant annoyance, but once you’re over the fence, it doesn’t take long for the wind to shift and Julian’s excessive aftershave to wash over you.

Laura and Lucas are with him too. And Brain, and that… other one. The girl that smelled faintly of ozone.

They’re a block toward the river, nestled beside a bunch of corrugated bins at a street corner. You make your way there quickly, keeping an ear out for sirens (or, y’know, gunshots).

You slow down as you approach from the opposite end of the street, a dark shape detaching itself from the cluster. You nose tells you it’s Laura, so you let yourself unwind just a little, shoulders sagging in exhaustion. Your arm aches – the wound’s long closed, but it still burns, weighing down on one side of you like a length of pure lead.

Laura runs out to meet you.

And the fire lances in the back of your head. Danger. Threat. Fight/flee/now.

For an instant, you’re frozen in confusion, two halves of yourself tearing you in opposite directions. Then you see her eyes, see them catch the light at just the right angle, and there’s nothing of Laura in there – that warm, emerald green is something wholly serpentine, something sick with its own venom.

SNI–

You step back.

– KT!

The metal flashes by, cutting perilously close. Before you fully realize what’s going on you’ve circled around her, ducking under a frantic slash. A snarl tears its way up through her throat, and it’s not the same – it’s not the same person. It’s like something wearing her skin. Something staring through her eyes. Something working her teeth and stretching her voice into strange, hideous shapes. She pivots, her leg coming around, and you dart away from a very, very lethal attempt to pass one of her foot-blades across your throat.

Someone shouts on the other end of the street. You hear footfalls.

The Beast lunges at you, no thought playing at its eyes, no hesitation, no warmth, nothing.

You have no idea what to do.

Crusty said, when we had level 2 agility, that we were faster than her over flat land but she has higher stamina.

I want both. It's a shame they're so damn expensive.

The only thing I want from Invis lvl 5 is the crit fail protection. Everything else about it can fuck off.

I want Agility because you can never have enough dodge. And it's required for muscle memory
>>
>>32866500
more interested in support/defensive abilities personally
>>
>>32866472

We will never win against crack bitching, not completely; only in a few areas.

I would rather get Autonomic Sequencing and Enhanced Muscle Memory as soon as possible. If JJ can start intuitively understanding how his opponents are fighting simply by observing their movements, that would not only help him dodge better and fight better, it would probably make him a much calmer combatant overall. Because let's face it, most of the time he's a complete nervous wreck whenever shit hits the fan.
>>
>>32866350
She totally has, we've already infiltrated a building held by then with Laura as backup.

>>32866500
I'm going invisibility 5 because with all the stuff higher Agility opens up will have a hard time saving points.

>>32866512
muscle memory could be pretty cool if we want to pick up more instruments.

>for an afternoon watch someone play a saxophone at blues club

>>32866500
It gives us another +1 bonus, it gives critfail protection, it gives us full protection vs. all senses, even psychic, AND it gives us the ability to hide multiple people.

This, plus a bit more into Taserhands and maybe another sensory ability like Echolocation or something.

>We will never win against crack bitching,

Let's be real here. Was there ever any chance that we WOULDN'T eventually max out Agility? I mean seriously. Hitting Agility Rank 4 is just under half the total cost of that route, and individually Sequencing and Muscle Memory are dirt cheap.
>>
>>32866621
Yeah, It gives better dark mobility plus a way to spot invisibles (unless they absorb sounds too or something). And maybe a way to look around corners for better trickshots.

You are woefully underestimating what those abilities are actually capable of. It doesn't JUST help with fighting, it would help with dodging, with mobility and even with stealth, all by simply watching other people perform those things. Training sessions with Laura would progress at a vastly accelerated rate, in that we would be capable of replicating her techniques in a matter of weeks instead of years.

Do you realize how powerful a guy like Taskmaster would be if he had the agility, strength, and precognitive abilities of Spider-Man? One of the biggest things holding him back is that he isn't superhuman, and that his brain isn't capable of holding all the information he's constantly taking in. JJ does not have either of those problems.

>and I'd rather just go subdermal for defense

Picture related.
>>
>>32867112
because I don't to have save four points to even invest in subdermal
>>
>>32867153

It's armor.

Why would you not want it?
>>
>>32867112
Sub-dermal only gets super-awesome at level 4 and 5. We've been fighting enemies with guns lately, and it'll probably only get worse. It'll take another 7p to get to level 4. Sub-dermal is not something we super-duper need right now.
>>
>>32866891
Not in this case it can't. Unless by "kiss" you mean continually break her neck (induce quadriplegia) to restrain her while we run to the nearest source of running water to wash the trigger scent off us?
>>

Hey guys we should use our automatic success to break both of Laura arms.

I know it sounds bad at first but think about it. It would make everything else so much easier. We could still go through with our plan to get her to the river without risking death on the way there.

Normally if we tried to break her arms we would need a will check in order to even try it because of our relationship. (-4 modifier) But we have an automatic success here.

I think using it to auto succeed at getting airborn is the way to go

we have a ...checkered past with flight checks

Angry Laura when she can think again
>>
>>32867467
You're forgetting her foot blades.
>>
>>32867519
Our problems have mainly been landing.
>>
>>32867467

Breaking her arms won't stop her from kicking us.
>>
>>32867535
Not that anon, but honestly? I think she'd understand. And give pointers. And still kick our ass while berserk.
>>
>>32867587
We are heading to a river, the landing doesn't matter much
>>32867610
Yeah I know I just really want that chance of a relationship boost, and the fact that JJ probably wouldn't do that
>>
>>32867467
1) She would fuck our shit.
2) JJ cares about her and doesn't want to hurt her.
3) Dice Gods love Laura.
4) Dice Gods aren't a fan of JJ.

Attacking her could be considered something stupid, Anon.
>>
>>32867709
This, and the dice gods are seemingly cool with JJ getting with Laura, considering we didn't crit fail on that dodge roll
>>
>>32867652
You're that idiot anon who wants to talk, aren't you.
>>
>>32867535
If how she acted during the boiler room is anything to go by, she will break down crying, blaming herself and possibly run off in the night so she doesn't endanger JJ anymore.
>>
>>32867779
No, I wanted to run like a little bitch to the river
>>
>>32867779

Not that anon, but I like trying to talk to her but only after we have sufficiently restrained Laura.

Everyone is voting for going to the river. And, it's a good idea but...

I think everyone is forgetting that we're not the only one that was trigger scented. If the guys with guns get too close Laura might go after them instead of us. And after she's done killing them she'll go after their reinforcements. Every person she attacks will draw her closer to that giant cloud of trigger scent where the bad guys are waiting for her.

If that cloud is gets big enough she might still be able to smell it after we lead her to the river.
>>
>>32867652
My point about the landings was that takeoff hasn't been much of a problem (once we got the hang of it, like the second test flight).
And funnily enough, the other post you linked to was my point about how I don't think it would have any negative relationship impact (or current effectiveness, given her capability and the likelihood that she'd use every other limb and possibly biting to try and kill us while she's Triggered).
>>
>>32867876
if that does happen, she'll run out of goons to kill eventually.


or we could try something dangerous and swoop down and scoop her up and dump her in the river
>>
>>32867882
she's more likely to try to run away from us the last we learned of bad facility stuff than be mad at JJ when he would have a good reason to hit her
>>
>>32867876
We've got senses 5, so we should be able to tell if we're upwind of the trigger cloud, and we MIGHT be able to lead her to the river at the cost of drawing attention to ourselves (which has the downside of probably attracting the guys with guns to follow us as well).
The real question is how to ditch them while leading Laura. The unfortunate answer is to stay just within reach of her to keep her attention and keeping dodging towards the river on foot.
>>
>>32867792
Then JJ tracks her down and makes a speech.

He'll look her right in the eye and ask why she didn't leave New York when JJ exploded. The safe thing to do (the smart thing to do) would have been to skip town since JJ was probably dead anyway. Then he'll say that he can't let her go for the same reason she couldn't let him go.

Ever since he became homeless he's never had any consistency in his life. No one that he could rely on to always be there for him. And now he does.

Too sappy?
>>
>>32867952
Yeah, kinda a thing I was pointing out. Also she HAS tried to leave us because of the Facility, but we cut that shit out real quick. She might even like us more when we continue to stay by her side after this like we said we would no matter what. Gas turns her into a kill-monster? We just turned into Mini-Godzilla a while ago, big whoop, we're starting a club, meeting's Tuesday, 20 bucks gets you the jacket.
>>
>>32868042
>We just turned into Mini-Godzilla a while ago,

JJ doesn't know that, though.
>>
>>32868054
I think we kinda do. A little.Might not remember much, but it starting and waking up to the aftermath?
And we're trying not to think about why we're not so hungry as we were before it happened.
>>
>>32868054
I think he's aware SOMETHING happened
>>
>>32868042
>big whoop, we're starting a club, meeting's Tuesday, 20 bucks gets you the jacket.
I laughed harder than I should have
>>
>>32868180
I aim to please.
And I WILL offer this as a write-in for the eventual aftermath speech if we have to do one.
Hopefully, if I'm not there, someone else do it for me.
>>
>>32868211
Oh, also,
>>32868180
It helps if you read all that in a New Yorker accent. Whatever part of the city, doesn't matter.
>>
>>32868246
>It helps if you read all that in a New Yorker accent
Thats actually what I did
>>
>>32868261
Perfect!
We should invite Rogue to the club meeting too. Who else?
>>
>>32867973

Does JJ have any way of knowing in-character that the cloud is what's put Laura into this berserker rage?
>>
>>32868295
Nightmare girl maybe?
Noriko?
Kevin? He might have the whole killing everyone he touches thing fixed by now though
>>
>>32868295
Lucas probably has a nice Chicago accent

Da Burrs!
>>
>>32867973
Can't Julian just trivially trap Laura with telekinetics?
>>
>>32868301
JJ has know Laura for a while now. She should have told him about trigger scent a long time ago. But he might have forgotten with all the shit going on.

You don't think straight when running on pure adrenalin. So he probably hasn't put 2 and 2 together yet.
>>
>>32868407
> She should have told him about trigger scent a long time ago
shoulda, woulda, coulda
>>
>>32868301
Weird smell, berserk Laura, Laura=More sensitive to smells, maybe an intelligence roll or something, possibly flashback to an off-screen mention she had told JJ, but yeah you raise a valid point that nearly everyone disregards in favor of skipping to how to deal with it. No justifying WHY he decides to fly and lure her to the river.

>>32868365
Nightmare Girl yes, sets a curfew for meeting time, Kevin probably, maybe Noriko? Mostly this seems a bit of an "I'm occasionally a monster, and that's ok" support group.
>>
>>32868407

I don't remember her ever telling us jack shit about a trigger scent. This isn't a thing we can just "assume" she mentioned at some point.
>>
>>32868392
Crusty said that Julian's in this universe are different than the Julian in the normal Marvel universe.

So there is no way of knowing.
>>
>>32868301
JJ has a reasonably decent intellect. He can probably reach the assumption that maybe the gas they're spraying fucking everywhere has something to do with Laura's current temperament.


I'm expecting a nice heart to heart after this BS.
maybe even romance, should I add "I want to know what love is" by Foreigner?
>>
>>32868424

>No justifying WHY he decides to fly and lure her to the river.

Because he doesn't want to fight her (both because she's his friend and because he's not sure he could win without serious injuries) and because swimming is one of his former hobbies, so he's probably better at it than her.

Then, once she stops attacking him all of a sudden, he might be able to put two and two together and realize the smell was provoking that reaction.
>>
>>32868439
I could have sworn I remember her mentioning it shortly after she and JJ first started living together. But I don't feel like archive digging right now so fuck it.

Something like the pic. >>32862438
>>
>>32868506

Doubtful. That was probably around when people started mentioning it OOC as something they expected to inevitably happen.
>>
>>32868392
Possibly, but he would have already so he's likely been shived already yay or has otherwise fled from the dudes with guns. I think they were in the same vicinity as each other while waiting, so yeah, I'm worried about Lucas and some of the other Hellions.
Maybe we could get Tagged to lead her? Hopefully Tag's awake to mark us.

>>32868475
Not sure how hobby time would fit. Thinking on it, I'd say JJ decides it's really hard for her to leap off of things and claw him or anyone else while in the water. So he can fly above it, wait for her to tire out, and pull her to shore once she calmed down.
>>
>>32868424
you're the kind of guy that would argue for sticking a hand in a woodchipper if you deemed it to be in character aren't you
>>
>>32868536

>Not sure how hobby time would fit.

He used to be a swimmer. Swimming is a thing that he did. Water resistance means Laura's greatest strength, her agility, is drastically reduced, along with the force behind her strikes, while his vastly superior strength will allow him to remain comparatively more mobile in the water.

That seems like a totally reasonable thing for JJ to think of in the spur of the moment. With her speed transforming our arms into ungainly wings and taking off may not be possible without risking injury, whereas bolting for the water is a safer bet.
>>
>>32868600
He doesn't even need to be in the water though.
Although we could probably use the wings as fins...

>>32868595
Nothing so drastic, but I do try to separate character knowledge from player knowledge. Although I wasn't calling for it, just wondering how we get JJ to do what we want. Because you can get away with anything as long as you can make a sound argument for the why.
