Ill join Tony in research, dull chap that I am :proud:
Sorry Alex, I mis-read it.
Seeing weve only got three actions planned and I need an early night, therell be no update tonight.
I gave plenty of time, so Dan, Martyn and Scott are all out of time. Update next post.
Guardian H.Q
Mephistopheles tells the others he€™s heading to Aces to gather some info. The others decide to stay put and use the Internet. Upon firing up the €˜net and running searches on Edge and Shockwave, they find plenty of information on Shockwave graphics cards and various kitchen knives, but for some reason the villains themselves haven€™t put up a website giving details on how to find them.
Possible locations are:
Police station
Southside central bank
Aces
Aces
It€™s mid-day, so Aces is fairly full as people are coming in for a lunch time meal and drink. Ace isn€™t around, but Johnny and the blue skinned barmaid are there. The middle aged couple are back, as is Jerry Hewlit who is playing cards with a heavy-set black man, and a woman who looks normal from the back, but has a third eye on her forehead. Other notable people include a man with a monkey tail, and a man who is sitting quite peacefully on the ceiling. Despite being upside down, his drink doesn€™t seem to be spilling.
If you don€™t want to speak to any of these people, you can go to:

Only a bassa like you could make something so simple so complicated :lame: :proud:
Im off to Aces. Providing hes still there, I want a chat with Monkey Man :proud: and slyly bring up our criminal duo when him and me get nice and pally.
Like I said earlier. Im sorry the villains dont want to go to jail :P
They should, theyd probably get more rights than on the outside! I think Im gonna go to the police station and ask them about the attack, and see what information they have about the Bank thing and the Gifted people.
Bah, again no luck. Im off to Aces.
Talk to Hewlit and try get info out of him. If he has nothing to say bout these guys then Ill talk to the monkey man or the ceiling man.
I will also go to the police station with scott
On school computer...
Hopefully Ill be able to get my computer back to working condition at the end of the week. In the mean time, Ill concentrate on training.
On that note, my computer is also no longer in the land of the living. I can get online thanks to my sister, but this means no updates for the forseeable future.
Dan, if I get back before you, Blur will be training for all updates.
The forseeable future = two days it seems:proud:
Update next post.
Guardian H.Q
Blur has come down with a virus. All he feels able to do is train at the H.Q, and by golly that€™s what he€™s going to do!
Blur€™s proficiency up by 6.
Aces
Marathon and Stomper head off to Aces. While Stomper hangs around not knowing what to do from there, Marathon goes towards the man with the monkey tail and starts talking. After a while, he gets the topic onto Edge and Shockwave.
€œYeah, I read about them in the Times,€ he replies. €œVery odd that.€Â
€œWhy?€ Marathon asks. €œI mean, they€™re just Gifted bank robbers right?€Â
€œYeah, I mean the way they disappeared afterwards,€ he clarifies. €œEdge seems to have gotten athleticism, and Shockwave fires knockout beams. No-one has ever heard of someone with more than one gift. Very strange.€Â
Mephistopheles, meanwhile, goes to see Jerry Hewlit. On Hewlit€™s invite, he€™s dealt into the game. Hewlit seems to be the worse for drink, but Mephistopheles gets chatting to the other two. Neither of them have taken much interest in Edge and Shockwave, but they manage to keep him chatting long enough for him not to notice that, despite apparently being drunk, Hewlit doesn€™t have any empty glasses by him€¦
Police station
Funky Junkie and Psy go to the police station to talk with O€™Hara about the robbery.
€œThere€™s not much to go on yet,€ she says. €œWe€™ve asked the bank to supply us with CCTV tapes. They should arrive later today or tomorrow. We€™ll deliver them when we get them. Apart from that, what we know, you know.€Â
Possible locations are:
Southside central bank
Guardian H.Q
Aces
Aces
Stomper meets up with Mephistopheles, who is now wearing only his underpants. In the background, Hewlit and his accomplices are busy splitting some money and clothes three ways.
€œWhat happened to you?€ Stomper asks.
€œI don€™t want to talk about it,€ mutters Mephistopheles.
Possible locations are:
Guardian H.Q
Southside central bank
Police station
To a clothes shop I think, Im going to need to borrow some money...
See if Alex is up for a little pratical joke as revenge: Lighting his old clothes on fire while theyre still being divided and gettign the money for new ones. If not, try hooking up with the three-eyed chick and see if she has any idea about Edge and Shockwave. With any luck [which Ill need alot of, knowing Frank :P] Ill get a girlfriend and infomation. Sweet. Get a root beer or coke or somethign like that though, as we ALL know what happens when a man hits on a woman while drunk. :proud:
Not sure what to do, so Ill chat to Monkey Man a little bit more (you can never have too many friends :proud:) and maybe meet up with Funky Junky and Psy at the Police.
Do I have any of my cigars left btw?
Considering youre currently clad in boxer shorts, where would you keep them?
.......
Scratch that. I dont want to know:lame:
Im my mouth or hands
Again, not much in the way of action plans so no update tonight. Ill be out of town tomorrow, and likely KNACKERED on Sunday, so next update will be Monday.
Well thanks to router trouble this way delayed. Update next post.
Guardian H.Q
Despite being ill, Blur is still training like a champion.
Blur€™s proficiency up by 4.
Aces
Stomper tries to get Mephistopheles interested in playing a practical joke on Hewlit and his friends, but Mephistopheles isn€™t interested, and instead asks Stomper to lend some money so he can buy clothes. Stomper does so, and Mephistopheles heads out the door. He then goes to get a root beer from the bar, then turns to chat to the three eyed woman, who has disappeared along with Hewlit and the black man. He drinks the beer anyway.
Marathon meanwhile is still talking to the monkey tailed man, but he doesn€™t know anything else about Edge and Shockwave.
Police station
Funky Junkie and Psy are just leaving the police station, when a blanket clad Mephistopheles is brought in handcuffed to an officer.
€œWhat€™s going on?€ O€™Hara asks. You€™re told that Mephistopheles has been arrested for gross indecency. Apparently he€™d lit his one remaining cigar, burning ash had fallen on his boxers and the rest is history. Funky Junkie and Psy bail him out.
Frank, you are mean, cruel...and totally rock :p Good job youre not in an rpg that Alex is DM of, eh...
Oh...and...SOMEONE GET HIM SOME PANTS! :p
he is though if you recall... I think Syramis is going to have some fun...
And hurry up bout it or Ill set some stuff on fire to distract attention away from the fact that Im naked
I suppose ill get him some clothes with my money.
Right, now my computer is back up and running, its time for me to kick some gifted butt!
Ill go to Aces and see if I can extract any info from the regulars there.
Just a reminder to all that if no action plans are posted in a more dangerous situation, you do run a higher risk of your character being hurt or killed.
Update next post.
Police station
The three at the police station are about to leave, when another officer arrives with a file.
€œThere€™s something the Chief Inspector wants you to have a look into,€ he says, passing the file to Psy. Rather than look at the file now, they decide to go back to Guardian H.Q and wait for the others to arrive. Mephistopheles€™ first action is to get dressed.
Aces
Stomper leaves to go clothes shopping, leaving Marathon at Aces. Having gotten over his illness, Blur arrives a little while later, just in time to see the man sitting on the ceiling flip himself back down to the floor and leave. The lunch time crowd is thinning now, and only Johnny is behind the bar. There is a lovey-dovey young couple in the corner, a scarlet coloured man with a long purple ponytail stands at the bar, and three youths are lounging at one of the tables, eyeing up women as they pass the window.
Ill chat to the scarlet coloured man and see if he knows anything about the gifted meet (I havent missed it have I?)
No, you havent.
Well this is going well. No update tonight.
Wait for others at base, then read the super important documents!
Well once I have got some clothes on Ill go take a look at these documents
Aces
Blur chats to the scarlet man, and asks him about the meet. €œI€™m not going,€ he says. When asks why not, he replies that the last time he went to one, he almost got flattened by a flying steel door. The incident is well known among the Gifted, so Blur sees no reason to talk about it any more.
Guardian H.Q
The other five have gathered, and decide to look through the file and just brief Blur when they find him again.
It contains a report on strange happenings in Dryad Woods, a forest some ten miles East of Southside. It€™s a popular day-trip destination where the plants are overseen by a Gifted known as the Dryad. Just lately, there€™s been a strange aura around the place. People going anywhere near it have had their emotions boosted a hundredfold. Anyone remotely nervous going in has left screaming at high speed.
Possible locations:
Police station
Southside central bank
Dryad woods
Aces
Im going top these woods. Dosent sound like somehwere id want to go alone, though, so hopefully people will go with me.
Ill go to these woods, Ill end up the most cynical and sarcastic being in the universe, but thats a risk Im willing to take
I would go to the woods but instead i am going to go to Aces for a drink and to see if anyone will tell me anything
Aces
While Mephistopheles, Funky Junky, Stomper and Marathon head to Dryad Woods, Psy heads to Aces on a fact finding mission. Seeing Blur there, she fills him in on the events in Dryad Woods, then gets talking to someone about the events there.
€œI hadn€™t heard about that,€ a random guy at the bar says. €œI wouldn€™t go there anyway. The Dryad gets majorly pissed if anyone threatens or harms his plants in any way. I don€™t know if he still lives in those woods, but I don€™t want him breathing down my neck if I drop a cigarette butt. He€™s more chilled about people than he used to be, but no one harms his trees.€Â
Possible locations:

Dryad Woods
Police station.
Dryad Woods
It€™s quite far to Dryad Woods, but thankfully the police have provided transport, a modified police van in which all six Guardians can sit comfortably. No cars or vehicles except push bikes are allowed anywhere near the woods, and they make the rest of the journey on foot. All four are a little nervous of what€™s to come and what they may find as they enter the woods, and find those feelings growing into outright terror as they progress. At this rate, they don€™t feel they€™ll be able to get into the heart of the woods without breaking and running from unknown fears.
