What woman with the gold skin?
Dan: Check the Aces update.
Train, train, train.
Whats wrong with the bus?:proud:
Guardian H.Q
Blur and Marathon are still training.
Marathon€™s proficiency up by 3.
Blurs proficiency up by 1
Aces
Mephistopheles speaks to the sandy haired man, Ace.
€œWhat can I do you for?€ Ace asks with a completely deadpan voice. Mephistopheles asks him about night crystals and bike riding Gifted.
€œNight crystals? You get €˜em in jewellery, so what?€ Ace replies. €œI can only think of three bike riding gifted. Ed and Dave were in here earlier, and there€™s one other guy. Don€™t know his name, but I think he€™s the leader of a gang called the Shadows. He never stays here for long so I don€™t know much about €˜im.€Â
Meanwhile, Stomper has struck up a conversation with the golden skinned woman.
€œOh, yes I know a bit about night crystals,€ she says. €œI€™m something of a collector,€ she continues, showing off a pair of earrings. To Stomper they look like diamonds, but he€™s no jeweller. He goes on to ask about the Shadows.
€œThe who?€ she asks, puzzled. €œOh, wait. Weren€™t they an old band? Can€™t say I€™ve heard any of their stuff, sorry.€Â
The meet is today, so Ill go there.
Ill also be going along.
as will i
Man, i stop reading for a while, then you go to the hideout with no backup whatsoever (against a gang!) and mess with the forensic evidence? Sheesh, one of you really does need to start helping old ladies across the street, just make sure that that actually want to cross first :p
Join them at the meet.
If Im lucky, Ill bump into some bad guys and maybe have a better time with them. :proud:
Im going to the meet as well.
Dan, Ive already told you days in the game dont happen at the same rate here. This is still the same day you had your run in with the Shadows.
When you find out where the meet is and the time comes for it, I will add the meet to the list of possible locations.
Oh poo! :lame:
In that case Ill be boring and carry on training.
In that case, Ill just run around town and ask any fellow freaks about the meet time.
Who knows? I might be able to up my proficiency in the progress and maybe save a cat up a tree on the way home. :proud:
Right then. In that case, help out any citizins I come across in need. Might help our public opinion.
Because you all made a mistake with the meet time, Im doing the next update tomorrow so you all have time to change your plans.
Ill go and busk as a fire eater which will raise public oppinion of me with ym spectacular shows of fire and act as training.
I will do some training
Im gonna stop some car crashes and stuff. Maybe stop a bank robbery. And not forgetting the old ladies being mugged in the street! Then go back to HQ and find out from the others about the meet.
Guardian H.Q
Blur is still training. Marathon leaves him to it, and is replaced by Psy.
Blur€™s proficiency up by 2.
Psy€™s proficiency up by 6.
Marathon leaves to do some asking around. As he leaves, he meets Stomper on his way back. Stomper is covered in scratches, rashes and blisters. When Marathon asks Stomper what happened, Stomper tells a story of what happened when he went around town trying to find someone to help.
The only person needing help he could find was a little old lady, whose cat had gotten stuck up a tree. The cat objected to being rescued, and having some feline claws raked along ones face is bound to make someone fall out of a tree. Unfortunately, there was a holly bush right under the tree€¦
€¦Still, the cat got out of the tree. Public opinion up by one point.
A random street
Having left Aces, Mephistopheles decides to go back to what he did before becoming a Guardian, and amazes people on the street with his fire eating skills. The Guardians aren€™t well known yet though, so no-one recognises him and so public opinion is unchanged. On the plus side, he makes 20 UE dollars.
Random streets across town
Marathon goes around town, asking people if they know about the Gifted meet. Unfortunately, no-one admits to being Gifted, so Marathon doesn€™t find out about the meet. If only there was some place he could think of where only Gifted go to hang out.
More random wandering
Funky Junkies random search for crime bears mixed fruit. Although he does stop a mugging, the mugger isn€™t Gifted and so is out of his jurisdiction. This is solved when the mugger puts up a fight, which is reported to the police. Both Funky Junkie and the mugger are arrested, but Funky Junkie is soon released when the mugging victim explains his part in it.
Public opinion up one point.
Current public opinion: 40.
Well, considering how banged up I am, I have proboblay more than had my fill of townspeople helping for today. So, ill see if anybody at Aces knows about the meet.
Awesome! I got arrested! Hahaha. Anyway, Im going to Aces for a drink, and to see if anyone will talk to me. Non-alcoholic drink, mind. An Irn Bru or Coke. Diet Coke is for women or pansies! Unless Frank drinks it, then it rules. Maybe I can pull a hot Gifted chick! Or find someone who knows about the meet. Or pull a hot Gifted chick who knows about the meet! That would truly be great. What would also be great would be if an uglier member of the Guardians comes with me, to make me look good! Either that or I just kinda go alone, since people are more comfortable talking to someone on their own. Then I go to the Guardians and go to http://www.gifted.comwww.gifted.com, or something like it, to find the location of the meet, if nothing bears fruit.
Dont I get a proficiency raise?
Meet one of the others, wander round, be bored, do nothing as per :lame:
Ill wander around town as well, eavesdropping on gifted conversations by staying invisible in case they talk about the meet.
OK, Martyns told me on MSN what hes doing, so update next post.
Alex, proficiency didnt raise because you werent really trying anything new or especially complicated.
A random street - the revenge
Blur walks around invisible, eavesdropping on people€™s conversations. While he learns that Agnes€™ son likes football, Gavin fancies Angela and Steph is cheating on Joe with Mark, he doesn€™t learn anything of value. Then someone who can€™t see him accidentally crashes into him, kneeing him in the nadgers as she does so, and goes through the rest of the day wondering what she hit.
Aces
Stomper and Psy go to Aces together and head to the bar. While Psy is served a non alcoholic drink by the blue skinned barmaid, Stomper asks Ace about the meet.
€œYeah, it€™s at Warehouse 3 on dock twelve at eleven o€™clock AM in two days,€ Ace says. €œHenri will be on the door, so don€™t try and sneak any non-Gifted friends inside.€Â
Psy asks the blue skinned barmaid about the meet, with the same result Mephistopheles got earlier. She then asks Ace, who replies that he€™s already told her boyfriend. And by the way, get him to use some ointment.
Soon after that, Funky Junkie arrives with Marathon, who had met up at Guardian H.Q before deciding to head over to Aces together. While Marathon hangs around doing nothing much, Funky Junkie makes a beeline for a drop dead gorgeous girl with red hair. He€™s not too far into the charm offensive however when another girl interrupts him, and engages in a tongue sandwich with the red head. Undaunted, he heads over to a girl at the bar and again makes with the charm offensive. He€™s interrupted by a heavy hand tapping on his shoulder. He turns around and stands face to navel with the girls boy friend. Needless to say, he quickly excuses himself.
Haha, you forgot my cheesy line, That looks fun, mind if I join you? :proud:
Im going to continue my Public Relations work for the Guardians, and also train until the big meeting. Lesbians are a bit of a pain in the arse. I wonder what her power was... Eww! Maybe she had a willy! Hahahaha. Anyway, since I think Marathon is uglier than me, he can help with my PR work, helping to raise our public opinion. If not, then just to relieve me from boredom.
Well, now that we know where it is, seek for anyone who needs help as usual, and be sure not to get myself hurt again. :P
Er.... Ill try my expands my powers by puttign on a fireworks display for people. That is something i wont have tried before. Also Ill tell people who I am afterwards so the Guardians rating goes up.
Remember keep away from people while doign fireworks, because that could be bad.
After that Ill go and volunteer at a local fire brigade for a few days, I can calm fires while they go in and help.
OK, I really need something to do. Run around, look for anything heroic to do, maybe do a charity marathon. :proud:
Martyn and Dan are out of time, update next post.
Guardian H.Q
Despite planning on doing some PR work, Funky Junkie never made a plan on what said PR work should be, so he decided to go back to Guardian H.Q and train. Blur and Psy basically just hang out in the lounge and play computer games.
Funky Junkie€™s proficiency up 2 points.
Central square
Mephistopheles again tries his busking, this time with fireworks. However, a second after the first is fired, a loud squawk is heard and a charred seagull nearly brains an onlooker. Mephistopheles makes his excuses and leaves.
Mephistopheles€™ proficiency up 1 point.
Around town
Marathon lives up to his name, running around town. After a while, he gets the idea of setting up a charity run which attracts a fair few interested people and local athletes.
Marathon€™s proficiency up 2 points.
Public opinion up two points.
A random street, this time it€™s personal
Stomper€™s trudging around the streets isn€™t too effective, but as he passes Southside central bank, he hears a commotion. As the alarm blares, two people burst out. One is dressed in tattered jeans and a T-shirt, and has some weird yellow energy flickering around him. The other is dressed more athletically, and is wearing a bandolier of knives. Both are carrying large sports bags, which look stuffed full, presumably with stolen money. The one with the knives quickly draws one out, throwing it accurately between Stomper€™s feet where it sticks in a crack in the pavement.
€œDon€™t get in our way, pal,€ he warns with a smirk. The other seems to be holding back, allowing the one with the knives do the talking.
Grab that knife that just got thrown at me, and throw it back. With any luck, thats one serious wound off the bat. After that, see if I can knock the other guy senseless with my fists and drain his health when i get too hurt, and if the knife guy is still up and at em, try to catch knifes he throws at me with my hand. Risky, but im at one speed, so theres no way I can dodge. Also, the other guy is still concious and a knife gets thrown at me, try to use Mr. Yellow Arua asa human sheild.
Sorry, by PR I meant saving people and stuff :proud:
I feel like some moping, too, and playing video games, and keeping my energy up for the meet.
I think Ill just stick with the firefighting idea until the meet. That should skyrocket both my proficiency and public oppinion. I can hold back the flames with my might.
Providing I dont need to do anything more about this run, Ill dash about and see if theres anyone else in need.
If I do, then Ill stick around and help organising, actually taking part and whatnot. Gotta keep our public opinion high :proud:
Central square, part deux
Mephistopheles tries again with the firework display, but he barely gets started when a flock of angry seagulls drive him off.
Guardian H.Q
Blur and Psy are joined in there moping-ness by Funky Junkie. He moans a lot about women, then gets punched by Psy.
Random streets - judgement day
Marathon runs around trying to find someone to help. He almost runs over a young couple, but manages to brake in time. The girl still tries to punch his lights but, but he bravely runs away in the nick of time.
Marathon€™s proficiency up 1 point.
Outside Southside central bank
Stomper grabs the knife by his feet, but quick as a flash the man jumps over him and grabs him from behind. Stomper is stronger, but the second man fires an energy beam at him, knocking him out cold.
Next day, Guardian H.Q
Stomper comes around by the morning, and finds himself in his bed at Guardian H.Q. Still feeling groggy, he moves downstairs, where he finds the other five being debriefed by O€™Hara. Seeing he€™s up, she starts again from the beginning.
The two men were heard in the bank calling each other Edge and Shockwave. The one with the energy aura, presumably Shockwave, knocked all the guards out with energy beams. However they weren€™t actually hurt, leading us to believe he has no capabilities for lasting harm with his power. The other seemed to be extremely athletic and probably derived his name from all the knives he carries. There are no firm leads on the two yet. Shortly after defeating Stomper, they just vanished into thin air. O€™Hara then leaves, saying she has paperwork to do. And if you decide you need some police help, remember to ask for it this time.
Your possible destinations are:
Aces
Police station
Southside central bank
See if theres any infomation on our latest enimies, Edge and Shockwave, via the internet/research.
Ill go to Aces, see if anyone there knows of these guys.
And btw fireWORKS and fireFIGHTING are quite different things Frank
