Superniggerspeed the shit outta here. Zoom right through the incoming peeps, give Noriko, Layla and Kevin enough time to make their get away safely.

Or, maybe just give it to JJ? I mean, we're prying into his personal life enough as it is, maybe that'd be overstepping bounds a bit?

>>40859555
>>[ ] Cool with you.

Lets see how are we rolling

>>40859827
>how do you help shape how everything changes
The bigger a quest gets the less affect people have on the quest. HMQ is one of the most popular ones currently on /tg/. We as individuals have very little impact on what happens in the quest.

>[X] Cool with you.
>[X] Yeah you guys should find somewhere to play this disc thing.

Well, if she says so. You ain’t arguing with Noriko over this.

Or, y’know, in general.

You make like a whole forest and get out of there, Gaby making a quick interspatial (it is so cool that ‘interspatial’ is a word you can use in everyday conversation now. Sometimes you don’t think anyone else appreciates quite how cool that is) jump to one of the nearby roofs. On the way out, Noriko nudges you, nodding toward the southerly end of the courtyard, where it opens out into the street. There are six unmarked white vans parked in a perfect row.

They don’t have number-plates.

You quickly look away and do your best to appear innocuous. It appears to work, and soon enough the four of you (plus Gaby, her presence snapping from one nearby building to the next) are almost three or four blocks from the scene of the crime. You breathe out a long sigh of relief.

Looks like you're not going to mutie jail today.

“So…” You look down at the disk pinched between Layla’s fingers. “I guess we should find somewhere to play that thing?”

Kevin and Noriko share some kind of look. What was that?

“I dunno…” Says Kevin, his brow slightly furrowed. “…This kinda seems like a… personal… thing.”

be honest you wanna see it

and we have no idea if it concerns JJ personally

>>40859942
Except there are still times where people raise good points with write-ins, times with close votes, and the simple fact that if you're not participating in the Quest it's just a Storytime to you.

>[ ] Yeah, you guess he’s right.

>>40859991

"We're gonna watch this at some point. I'm fine with waiting."

Also call JJ to tell him we found something.

>>40859991
>[ ] Nope you want to check this so JJ doesn't explode or something. The fact that his dad had an apartment here was bad enough for him.

>>40859991
>[ ] Nope you want to see this.
We found it, we get to see it.
Plus if JJ wants to see it, he'll need to find the hardware, too.

>>40859991
>>[ ] Nope you want to see this.

>>40859991
>[ ] Make sure we aren't being followed.

>>40860070
This.

>>40859991

>[X] Nope you want to see this.

JJ has been keeping a lot of secrets lately, and he's been acting pretty damn scary. I think it might be better to see what's on this thing first before just handing it off to the guy who seems ready to go NUCLEAAAAAR at the drop of a hat.

>>40860069
More people also makes it less likely for write-in's to win. The thread is pretty slow right now so write-in's could totally work. But there has been times when I came up with what I thought was a really good write-in but in the 5 minutes it took to come up with it there had already been over 20 votes cast. Chances are nobodies going to even see it.

That said it's pretty slow right now so a good write-in could make a difference. At least until it speeds up.

>>40859991
>>[ ] Nope you want to see this.
I think vetting the DVD is a good idea. JJ did not handle the news about an apartment being owned in his dad's name, and we can explain that to Noriko.

Plus, IWANNASEE!

>>40860192
>>40859991

SECONDED

>>40860227
>>40860192
Speaking of good write-in's. I'll vote for this

>>40859991
>>40860192
seconded

>>40860226
no he hasn't, JJ's been pretty open, Lucas just wasn't there for when JJ revealed shit about his sister or his dad, or when we found jack was muties. I do agree that he is volatile though, and we should vet the video and let him know what's on it or how bad it is

>>40860226
>>40860303
or that he was a ganster, and that he worked for Creeper. If anything, he's been pretty transparent. Why, he's practically see through!

>>40860192
I'mma also second this

>>40860303

Maybe what he meant was, "we honestly know next to nothing about who JJ actually is".

>>40860332
>If anything, he's been pretty transparent.

More or less of a transparent than Caitlyn Jenner?

>>40859991
>[ ] Yeah, you guess he’s right.

>>40860347
but we do, kinda. Noriko and the gang (minus Lucas) know that JJ was a gang banger, that he has rage problems (see that fight with one of the Corsairs), that his dad was a geneticist, that he's been a hobo for a long time, etc.

If anything, they know more about JJ then JJ knows about them

>>40860409

So what you're saying is, it would be completely in character for Lucas (the odd one out) to want to know more about JJ.

>>40860453
Touche'. I wasn't really arguing against seeing the video in the first place though, just that JJ wasn't really keeping that many secrets (except his desire for gross mutie flesh)

That sounds like a great way to repay JJ for healing Lucas. JJ's risked his life multiple times to save the team. Now we're just going to invade his privacy.

>>40859991
>[ ] Yeah, you guess he’s right.

>>40860491
how do you know the disc is about JJ?

>>40860491
Anon is a dick.

>>40860497
Crusty's probably done writing by now.

>>40860491

We already invaded his privacy, with his blessing.

>>40860518
JJ asked us to see if his dad was alive. That's it.

>>40860491
That's not quite how I see it. Yes, it's an invasion of privacy, but JJ was really out of sorts when he found out about this apartment. I could see Lucas just wanting to make sure the video didn't have anything horrifying on it and letting him know beforehand what's on it or what to expect when watching

>>40860518
Dude is unstable right now, we need to know ahead of time if this is the kind of thing he can handle raw or needs to be prepped for.

Well, he’s probably right…

But you can’t help but remember the way JJ looked after he found out about this place. What if whatever’s on this disk is a bomb of nuclear proportions? You have no idea what’s on there – it could be his dad’s favourite old-timey TV series, or it could be something that fries his brain from the inside to the outside.

“I dunno…” You don’t really like saying this. “…I think we might wanna make sure it isn’t something that’d really tear him up…”

You can tell that Kevin still isn’t sure, but he’s outvoted when Noriko steps in, and after a brief search you manage to track down a dinky little internet café overlooking the beach. Noriko shells out for an hour and you cluster around one of the machines tucked away in the nicest, quietest little corner you can find, where nobody’ll be looking over your shoulder.

“She’s putting it in now…” Kevin whispers to Gaby on his phone, giving her a step-by-step of the situation as Layla gets the computer running and inserts the disk.

It’s empty save for a set of three video files.

The four of you glance at one another, and Layla opens the first one.

The world of the video is a dark one. I takes you a moment to recognize the apartment – it’s in an entirely different shape, cluttered with piles of old, worn books and pieces of inscrutable, delicate-looking machinery. The blinds are shut tight; you’d think it were night but for the faintest slithers of light occasionally peeling through.

Half the image is dominated by a wrinkled, dotted shirt. Its wearer grunts quietly, apparently fiddling with the camera, and there is a small “ah”, before it shrinks back and the owner of the voice sits down in front of the bed.

He’s a tall, pale man with narrow features and tussled, dark hair. Heavy, dark bags hang under his eyes and he looks like he hasn’t shaved – or changed – in a while.

>(2/2)

The first thing he does is sigh.

“Hey.” He says, eventually, his voice cracking slightly. “I, uh… I guess…”

He glances into the camera almost fearfully, and quickly looks away.

“…I don’t know if anyone’s ever going to see this, so…” His fingers knot and unknot. He swallows. “I hope somebody does. I hope you do. Eventually. Somehow. Maybe, in a year or two, I’ll be back home and this will be nothing but a sore memory, left to gather dust, but…”

He looks down, and for a moment, his face reminds of something old and weathered, like one of those angels left out under the rain for far too long.

“…Well, maybe that’ll happen. But I can’t come back today, and… I probably can’t come back tomorrow. I’ve made some very… difficult… people very angry, and as long as they think I’m alive, everyone I love – everyone I know, probably – is in danger.”

He looks back at the camera. His eyes are blue, like clear skies.

“I’m trying.” He says, quietly, before leaning in to shut the video down.

That’s it.

Do the people voting to keep going think we won't ever see this again? We're going to perspective change back to JJ. We can watch it then without making Lucas be an asshole to his friend.

>>40861014
because we can see it now and not 40-120 minutes from now?

its just a game mugga

>>40861014

I also think we'll be able to watch this again later, but JJ might go into freakout territory and I'd rather we review it just in case.

Plus there is a small chance we could lose it soon.

>>40861051
It is, but I'm into the game and I wanna roleplay that Lucas wouldn't feel comfortable going further

>>40861014
Doesn't matter whether we as players see get to know the contents or not.
Currently we are deciding for a slightly edgy teen constantly looking for action and adventure.

>>40861014
Because while we are watching this we are getting surrounded by sentinels or something?

We double 1 the spot check, we might get hit by a moon sized meteorite, as far as we know.

>>40861041
And probably the longest, too.

>>40861014
With the way JJ has been its safer to have the ability to forewarn him of what the videos contain, and JJ would most likely have shared them anyway.

>>40861078
I personally think the spot check was for the item hidden under the floorboard that someone else passed instead of us

>>40861109
I think there was a key under the doormat. If we had used a key the people in the white van might not have known we where even there.

>>40861133
Or it could have been the alarm. Those vans showed up pretty quick.

>>40861140
For all we know, the final clip could end with JJ's dad taking a bullet to the skull.

Of course it would be impossible for that to be true, but I don't see things getting any better.

>>40861201

“Was that… JJ’s dad?” You ask, breaking the reverent silence.

“Think so.” Says Layla, her voice quiet. “He showed me some pictures once.”

The four of you glance at one another in silence, it quickly becoming clear that nobody wants to be the one to rev up the next video file.

“Maybe… maybe we should take this back to the station.”

You were prepared for something heavy, but not this heavy. For all your talk of making sure this stuff wasn’t gonna rip up JJ’s brain, once you’re actually sitting there watching it, you can’t help but feel strangely ashamed and maybe even a little perverse.

Noriko nods silently and closes the folder.

You pull out your phone, open a new text, and think really, really hard about what the hell to say.

You are John James Green, mutant vagrant.

You’re looking for the Roxxon Science Institute. According to your Moon Phone, it’s somewhere on the edge of Queens, where the river overlooks Manhattan on one side and the Bronx on the other. Not immensely far from where you got smeared by Mr. Negative, actually. It’s important that you find it quickly, because it will give you something to think about that isn’t your dad, and…

Walking beside you, Laura holds onto your hand with a sort of grim determination about her, her eyes fixed straight ahead and her knuckles almost turning white.

…You might not be the nicest person when you’re thinking about your dad.

Which isn’t your fault, really.

Or maybe it is? There’s probably loads of ways for it to be your fault. What if he left because you displeased him somehow? Like, what if –

You shake your head slightly. No, that’s dumb.

That’s dumb.

You glance down at the time. Peter’s probably waiting for you by now.

“Sorry for freaking out.” You just blurt it out suddenly. You’re not sure what to say next, actually. Or do.

So you don’t really say or do anything. You just walk along the road in silence, watching Laura out the corner of her eye. She’s thinking.

“It is fine.” She says, eventually. “I am… sorry… that I cannot help. I don’t understand the relationship you have”– Had, you interject, in the privacy of your own head. The relationship you had. – “with your father. I felt…” She pauses, and seems to almost squirm, the word she’s looking for is a poisonous one “…sad when my biological mother expired, but I cannot, truly, say that I knew her.”

You feel a sharp pang of guilt. You guess this must be really awkward for her.

“I’m sure she loved you very much.” You say, a little cautiously. Laura glances up at you with surprised look on her face. “Who wouldn’t?”

Slowly, she turns her eyes back toward the street, returning to her thoughts.

“I hope so.”

The red above is dimming when finally see a sign proclaiming ROXXON SCIENCE INSTITUTE (Chasing the Future Since 1989) up ahead. The building beyond it is actually a little smaller than you imagined – three ground floor complexes situated across a large, meticulously cut lawn. The central building is crowned by a curved, entirely glass roof.

You spot Peter and Chat outside, near the sign. They’re talking to someone else – big, blonde dude with a broad smile.

Suddenly, your stomach churns, and a bolt of familiar lightning arcs along your spine. There’s something wrong about that guy – something wrong about the way he smells, the way he sweats, the way he feels. He’s not even laughing properly; it’s all fake.

You feel your claws pushing at the fabric of your gloves.

Keep the claws and stuff in, or out of sight. Public mutant freakouts are bad.

Warn Peter about him when he's not around.

>>40861821

I wonder if Peter already knows that and he's just playing things cool, or if we're at the beginning of this universe's Peter vs Venom arc and he's still in the dark?

>>40861885
Eddie was always been an asshole before getting the Symbiote

>>40861902
> he's still in the dark?
Venom doesn't set off his Spidersense, so he probably is.

>>40861930
In which continuity?

>>40861902
Oh sweet lord.

If only we had that sonic scream thing.

Or maybe he's actually just the worlds most annoying dick, and our danger sense is telling us not to get caught up in his shit, like a sensible anon who sees obvious bait but takes it anyway.

>>40861821
>[ ] Clearly the only thing to do is to growl at this dude until he does away.

Get out

>>40861930

Just "being an asshole" isn't enough to set off JJ's danger sense.

>>40861821
>Hang back, maybe he'll fuck off
Once he does, we need to warn peter about him. Dude smells weird and dangerous to our assorted super senses.

>>40861821

>>40861951

Warn Laura about him.

Then later warn Peter & Chat when we're alone with them.

>>40861930
Yeah, but altering his sweat isn't exactly a basic poser move.

>>40861944
>sonic scream
AHAHA I TOLD YOU

>>40861902
Spider Sense isn't giving us the clue, enhanced senses is. So I'd say Peter doesn't know what's going on.

>[ ] Hang back, maybe he’ll fuck off.

Wait, wasn't Gwen Stacy the Venom in Crustyverse? I seem to recall a CJ post to that effect.
Skrull, those weird green alien types who mimick people maybe?

>>40861973
Fire works too. Or depending on continuity, electricity fucks their shit up.

>>40861821
>>[ ] Focus on keeping everything in, say hi.

>>40861973
At least if we go into Riastad/have some control over it, we can ruin any symbiote's day.

>>40861997
It's the same thing anon, we have an inherent danger sense like Peter

>>40861997

Our danger sense IS giving us the clue. Enhanced senses just helps more, and Kinesics is what lets us tell that his persona is completely fake.

>and a bolt of familiar lightning arcs along your spine. There’s something wrong about that guy

>>40862002
Carnage, she was Carnage

>>40861997
>Spider Sense isn't giving us the clue,

Green Sense is totally giving him it.

>>>40861821
>Suddenly, your stomach churns, and a bolt of familiar lightning arcs along your spine.

Enhanced Senses are also doing it, of course, but also JJ's danger sense.

>>40862002

Not at all.

Mary Jane was Carnage in Cosgrove's quest, though.

And Clone!Gwen was sorta Carnage in the Ultimate Universe.

>>40861944
Pretty sure electricity can still fuck a symbiote up.

>>40862006
>Fire
Out of the ques-
>>40862021
Definitely out of the question.

So the best we've got is a maybe, at melee range.
And we're (supposedly) a stealth build.

>>40861821
>>[ ] Clearly the only thing to do is to growl at this dude until he does away.
Only real choice.

>>40862021
We'd be even freakier looking to a symbiote to boot!

>>40862059
We bumped out of the stealth build a long time ago due to a severe case of the "in-case-shits."

>>40862022
Ours is a bit worse due to lack of training + being a crackbitch.
>>40862022
>>40862027
>>40862040
Aaaaand I completely forgot what gives us I Can't Believe It's Not Spider Sense. Fuck me.

>>40862092

Well you weren't completely wrong.

You've got that for you, at least.

>>40861852
Eddy Brock is the hero the innocent of New York need! He'll protect them from those crazies like spider-man.

Man I kind of miss 90's Venom sometimes.

Not sure why people are arguing about Spider Sense. But, Venom is only immune to Peter's Spider sense because the symbiote was once part of Peter. JJ's danger sense will work just fine against Venom.

Fun fact: JJ's danger sense won't work against Typhon because of the time they spent in the cocoon.

>>40862087
It's more that as we change there's a MASSIVE sonic boom that'll shatter glass all around us (and smaller ones going off over time) and we'll also be on fire/giving off a TON of heat.

In short, the Symbiote will be invited to Mr. Bones' wild ride.

>>40862089
we TRIED to bump out of stealth build

but stealth is still what JJ is best at. see that fight against slavampire

>>40862110
I miss Antivenom

>>40862112
CURSE YOU TYPHON

>>40862105
It may be different for Peter. He might have a sense of unease, while we have our senses directly tied to the crackbitch sense, so we know more about what's 'wrong'.

>>40862143
at least we were the big spoon

>>40862059
Okay, if we know sound fucks simbiotes up, we run to nearest music shop, and defet him with a drum solo, and wicked guitar rifts.
I am not settling for anything less.

>>40862157
>He might have a sense of unease

He doesn't.

Totally doesn't realize what's going on, 'cause his Spider Sense doesn't work on Venom.

>>40862162
Wicked airhorn solo.
Bagpipe accompanist.

>[X] Hang back, maybe he’ll fuck off.

Almost reflexively, you cloak. The raw, bloody arch of the sky turns the colour of dusk as you shrink from the visible world. Laura glances up at you.

“John…?”

You watch him, watch his mouth move, watch the laughter rock through him. Lies. Lies, lies, lies. Everything he says is lies. He’s seething on the inside – and not just with anger. It’s more than that. And, somehow, less. A part of it is so basic and vicious, it barely seems human.

“…You can’t smell that?”

Laura looks confused for a moment, but her brow furrows after she sniffs the air, and you feel the muscles tightening across her body.

“Yes.” She says. “I can.”

The guy fakes his way through a quick hug and heads back toward the Science Institute. You wait until he’s inside to drop your cloak and approach.

“Hey.”

Peter glances in your direction, jumping a little. “Hey.”

“Hi, guys.” Says Chat, waving. “How’s it going?”

Terrible.

“Not so bad.” You respond. “Who was that?”

Peter blinks.

“The guy you were just talking to.”

“Oh.” He smiles awkwardly. “That’s Eddie. He’s an old friend. Actually, he’s the one that had a look at your… stuff. He works under the guy that runs this place.”

So if we got into a solo fight with Venom right now what are JJ's chances?

Even Photo-boosting one of our powers might not be enough. This guy is stronger than spiderman and almost as fast.

What happens if JJ or Laura put on the suit?

Oh god Venom has our DNA! Panic!

>>40862531

JJ would end up burning it off.

Not sure about Laura.

>>40862470
Would end up with doom going full gentleman hunter on our asses with a laser blunderbuss, robo hounds and a small bugle.
JJ hunting season.

>>40862531
Fairly good, tasers 2 will be painful for him, jacked with solar should force it to back down at least.

Venom = ristrad trigger i bet.

>>40862524
and with that power to actualy take the apearance of someone we could become ANYONE. Is this the begining of JJ's new career as Prankmaster?

>>40862531

Considering Spider-Man could knock JJ out with one punch, I don't like his chances against Venom.

Wait wait, that weird gunky shit we got off of that corpse thing that we -almost- ate in that cellar?

Eddie got THAT shit?

We almost ate Venom?

Well shit. Or am I high and completely wrong?

>>40862190
>You guys can discuss that stuff somewhere more private, like a park

>>40862582
Neither could Spidey. It depends on who hits who first

>>40862549
Why would he burn it off? The Venom suit is pretty chill if you can get it past its abandonment issues and Peter trying to kill it. Well it was until retcons retconning retcons eventually made it into a fully parasitic existence but I think that was changed too eventually.

>>40862582
Photo-Boost Agility to 6 and everything changes.

>>40862531
It'd probably hurt us enough to make us Riastrad, but if we wore it, it'd act as a safeguard against full on Cu Cuchulain-ing.

>>40862560
We lost Genetic Mimicry for Animal Affinity.

>>40862615
>We almost ate Venom?

No.

That wasn't Venom. But Peter did give Eddie the sample, yes.

>>40862634

Riastrad.

>>40862615

>Photo charges from what I gather stack
I don't think they do. I'm under the impression we can only boost a power 1 level higher at a time. More photo-charges just make the effect last longer.

>>40862691
because he mimics the visage of DOOM and acts like a fool.

>>40862719
It was a magic corpse.

>>40862634
Venom tends to make a persons system stress out when first binding.

JJ system stressing = riastrad = fire and protogenetic body soup of fire.

Definitely not a suitable host.

>>40862691
What part of that assemble was serious?

>>40862723

That’s Peter’s science friend? He honestly looked more the dudebro type. All sorts, guess.

All sorts of crazy weird-smelling psychopaths.

“Not to alarm you or anything, but your friend is probably an alien. Stake his heart now.”

Chat laughs. Peter just looks confused.

“…Um, what?”

“It’s…” What are you supposed to even say? That he smells wrong? “…He just seemed kinda tense back there. Is he mad at you or something?”

“Oh…” Peter rolls out another awkward smile, his shoulders falling a little. “…Yeah. Kinda. You could tell?” You nod. Peter winces. “I kinda messed up recently, and it didn’t go too well for him. He has a right to be a little angry at me. Honestly, I’m just glad we’re still talking.”

A little angry is one thing. This is something else.

“Alright, dude.” Not alright, but dropped for now. “How about that icky stuff I found, eh?”

“Right, yeah… about that…”

The four of you make your way along the street until you come to a small park. Occasionally shooing off a bunch of extremely persistent magpies, you find your way to a secluded bench sitting under the shadow of an old, withered oak, and Peter lets the nerdworks flow freely. He uses a lot of words – some of which you understand, some of which you don’t, and some you have this weird feeling about, like you should know them, but their exact meaning escapes you for now.

>>40862770
gotta love that doom.

>>40862757
But THEN we get to meet DOCTOR DOOM. It's a no lose situation!

>(2/2)

“…Basically, it’s like cancer tissue, but very specific in the way it’s grown. It’s like something switched off the function that tells certain cells to stop replicating – not just switched it off, but changed it, so that everything starts growing at a way way accelerated rate.” He pauses, taking a long breath. Chat reminds him that, yes, breathing is necessary, even when there is science happening. “The really weird stuff is at the genetic level. Uh, you know how chromosomes are made up?”

You nod. “Mostly.”

“Okay, good.” This guy would make a great teacher. You bet he tutors dudes at school. Or gets his homework copied a lot. “Well, normally, a human chromosome contains thousands of individual genes. This stuff, though – well, it’s damaged, but other than that – is really, really homogenous. Almost every other DNA segment is some variation of the X-gene, and at some point they were all trying to activate, at the same time.”

Oh. That sounds bad. You can imagine how that ended up with an unrecognizable flesh-soup.

>>40862723

"But no, seriously, are you aware that everything about your friend smells and feels completely wrong and inhuman?"

>>40862837
can it be reversed? Do we have Reed Richards on speed dial, because neither of us have the means or education to find out.

>>40862837
can you destroy it because that sound like something a super villain would want badly?

>>40862837
You got any ideas what to do with that stuff, or where it came from?
Maybe its just a jack overcharged power imitator mutant?
Also say that his girlfriend feels ignored, and he should pay more attention to her.

>>40862887
If it makes you feel any better, marvel is redoing the spiderman franchise again after the failure of the last one. They might just get it right this time.

>>40862837
so, cancer like regeneration a lot like dead pool + little to no normal genetic make up because the x gene running wild chewed up the victims genome over time. Probably didn't express anything when we found it because of rapidly running out of energy.

If i had to guess, this was an adverse reaction to street jack, Oh and he stayed human shape because of the healing factors self image principle.

The individual probably died in horrible pain and rapidly.
