Spoiler: New Joiners: Please read!

Captainguy just informed me that he left this in the dark because he realized too late that he really didn't want to GM. It was just bad judgement, but I'm going to keep this going.

TTT, AWC Viper, and Dark Energy134 have all responded to my PM and said that they would keep posting in this so I'll set this moving, and I'll open this up to new joiners. You guys can invite anybody you like to RP with, but make sure it is clear that they must PM their character sheet to me. I will be accepting 2 new entries.

Junker left the infirmary with his hand repaired, heading for the armory. He passed through the meeting room with the snake emblem on the table and into another hallway. At the end was a double door with no windows, with simply "ARMORY" written on the door. He turned the heavy knob and stepped in to see the other supers looking through the various racks of weapons and gear. "Are you all ready to go?"

Marlowe looked around the street for almost forty minutes before he realized that nobody was coming. "Oh well," he sighed, walking down the street. He hid himself in an alley before reaching in his pocket to pick out his cellphone. He dialed Junker's number. "Hey..." he started. "Well, I'm in an alley near 17th St. It would be great if you could find a way to get me there."

Spoiler: What?

I didn't know Junker and Marlowe knew each other, but I guess this isn't the time to argue. I guess Junker is just going to take over in a sort of leading role for a bit until we figure if this will actually take off.

Junker reached for his phone and saw Marlowe on the call display. He slid it open and listened. "Okay, we'll be leaving in a couple minutes. We'll be flying, so if you can get to a parking lot or a tall building near there we'll find you a lot easier."

"so where are we off to now?" Mark said to junker while looking through the racks of weapons.

Spoiler: OOC

hey a big thanks to Sporky111 for picking up this RP. would have been a shame to let this die

"No problem," sighed Marlowe, stepping out of the alley. He quickly jogged to a nearby basketball court, where he placed his hand on the fence. He watched as the fence quickly rusted and broke in his hand. Relaxing, he strolled into the court and sat on a bench.

Spoiler

Just assume that he does. I needed some way to get into this story, and the only person who I knew was the original GM

"First we're going to pick up a new joiner, Marlowe, then we're following a lead from the Untouchable. He said that Killman may have set up a political coup in Ireland. A pair of supers have been reported causing havok in the capitol region, and they seem to be moving on the parliament. Any questions?"

Spoiler

From here on, I'm going to use the Untouchable as more of an information resource than a leader. Ask any questions quickly so we can get moving, we'll meet with Marlowe and I have another player joining us in Paris.

"Alright then, let me just get some thing's" muttered mark as he looked for his lighter.


"right, got it, let's go"

Time Travelling Toaster is officially out as of now. We'll move on and see if we can get any momentum going, otherwise this is dead. Sorry for the delay.

"Good." Junker said, leaving the armory empty handed, with Broken Arrow close behind. They climbed into a small aircraft the size of a private jet, but with engines at the ends of the wings that looked like they could rotate, and a vertical turbine on the tail.

He dialed in the co-ordinates to Marlowes location and set the autopilot. A large door opened above them, casting the entire vehicle bay in the afternoon light. The engines turned skyward and fired, lifting the craft out of the hangar before righting themselves and sending the plane to the city.

In short time, they were hovering over Marlowe with a ramp down. He jumped in and the jet lifted up and flew off.

Junker approached him, "Marlowe. Welcome to the team."

 

[darkenergy134]

"It's about time," Marlowe said, shaking Junker's hand. "So, where are we off too? Do we need to bust a few heads?" His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

 

[Sporky111]

"We're going to Dublin. There's a pair of supers there approaching the capitol, and we think they might be carrying out a coup on behalf another person we're after." He said. Walking over to a TV screen on the wall, he pressed a button and a news broadcast from the area.

First, they saw a large man with the caption "Quake". The road behind him showed pulverized patches where his feet must have hit, because after each step he took a cloud of dust exploded from the ground. A police cruiser pulled up in front of him, the doors started to open and a crack in the earth appeared underneath the closer side. The wheels sunk into the fissure until the car was completely sideways in the ground.

Abruptly, the feed cut to a woman with long, white feathered wings. The caption said "Harpy". She dove at a small group of law enforcement, grabbing one man and lifting him into the air. After carrying him above the roof of a nearby building, she swung her arm toward him and dropped the man. He left a trail of blood in his wake, but the camera stayed away from him and showed Harpy with blood dripping from five inch long nails.

"That's who we're up against." Junker said, leaving the feed on. "What do you think?"

Spoiler: Oh, by the way

I changed the destination from France to Ireland so we wouldn't have any plot-hole involving a certain French superlady that recently left the ranks.

Mark sat there staring at the Screen, "ireland huh?, i know some people down there."

Mark stoped looking at the screen and looked over at marlowe "hello, im Mark but i also go by the handle of "broken arrow", and you are?"
