Rorx Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 "As am I Vixen, but I thought I'd give anyone who wanted to grab something a chance to get it."He pauses in thought briefly, "Actually a camera and perhaps some handcuffs might be handy. To document our findings and apprehend people. Having said that we won't have any jurisdiction out there will we, so anything we do will be as private citizens and potentially illegal?"

Dawn OOC Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 "Correct," Chad said, "but it's the fu-rackin' Bahamas - who is going to tell you to stop? They don't have defenders, and if you're apprending criminals, I don't see them caring.""You can't," Thirty-One rasped. He looked pale, almost sick. "You can't just walk in there. I almost didn't get out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'The Apostate' Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 "Relax," Ditto said to Thirty-One, grinning and holding up a hand to stop any more protest. "Dude, we're Supers. We do this kinda stuff all the time. Just another day at the office."He hopped and clapped his hands to loosen up a bit. "C'mon guys, for crying out loud you could talk till nightfall and still not say anything. Let's just go, kick butt, and be done with it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 "Very well," Tessaract said calmly. "Relocating in three...two...one..."The room convulsed around the team and vanished, leaving them adrift in inky darkness. Tessaract wasn't there. A moment later the darkness melted away and there was a sensation like a shove from all directions at once. And then sunlight. Blindingly bright off of white sand that everyone dropped a couple of inches onto.Tess looked around, squinting disapprovingly against the sudden light."The map was inaccurate. I was aiming farther inland. I do think I have the right island." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 "Yeah, that can always be a problem Tess. Maps are only good to a percent or two generally. Nice transport though, Thanks."Dwarfstar then turns to examine the area around them and to get his bearings so that he has some idea which direction they need to head in.

Dawn OOC Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 They were looking into the early-morning sun, while the water stretched north and south. The sand was warm, the beach was blue - and in front of them, below the rising sun, the ever-present storm that was the Bermuda Triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorx Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 "Well from what our vistor told us earlier I gather that he flew in, so I guess we'll have to fly out that way to locate the place, somewhere in that lot I assume?", Dwarfstar finishes pointing towards the heart of the Bermuda Triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixen Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 "Oh, Christ. No one start talking about parallel worlds and magical ley lines and all that crap I hear about the Bermuda Triangle." Despite her skepticism, however, Vixen sniffed the air, perhaps wondering if any of that strange scent she sometimes picked up would be here.

Dawn OOC Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Vixen had never been this close to one of the Bermuda Storms, not since gaining her 'magic' sniffer. And as she sniffed, she expected to smell rain, wind, seawater and ozone. What she smelled was all that and the bitter tang of magic. But this wasn't like what she normally smelled. It was twisted somehow, tainted. Wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixen Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 "Hwugh." Vixen suddenly looked wobbly on her feet. "Okay... nn. Okay. I take all that back. I can smell it, all that... that weird scent, but it smells bad. Not like it did before. Something's in there all right..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Tessaract gives Vixen a curious look, then inhales through her nose."I don't smell anything unusual. I could transport us into the storm, but without anything to stand on I would fall into the water on arriving. If one of you were to carry me while flying, or arrange for a boat, that would correct that problem." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixen Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 "Boat. Boat boat boat." She cast around, looking out to sea... and smiled. She pointed. "Boat."A thin green beam sprang forth from her finger. It hit the water, and a patch of the ocean shimmered, forming a small schooner, with seats enough for all."Boat!"Not water. A boat. Holy crap.

SalmonMax Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Tessaract stared for a moment, then produced from her pocket something that looked a little like a conch seashell made of flat, dull black plastic or metal or something. It seemed...off, somehow. Its dimensions and proportions changed subtly as she moved in her hands, and some of the things she seemed to touch weren't actually in it, or on it...some were inside it, or around it.She looked at Vixen again after studying the thing intently, then nodded and put the strange doohickey away before stepping onto the boat."Thank you. Are the rest of you coming?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Dwarfstar does a slight double-take between Vixen and the boat, and ends up looking to Vixen, "Nice boat Vixen. Now does anyone know how to sail one of those, cause I know I don't." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 "Irrelevant," Tessaract reports. "We won't be moving over the water. The boat is only necessary to give us a place to stand once we arrive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 "That's all very well," sayd Dwarfstar as he turns to Tess, "but we don't have a map or anything like a map to say where we need to in that mess to target a 'port from."He turns again to include Thirty One, "Can you at least give us an estimate of distance and direction?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Tessaract didn't seem too concerned. "The storm is in line of sight. I can take us there without difficulty.

Dawn OOC Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Thirty-one was shivering, his eyes wide. He shook his head wildly. "No, I don't... there was water and then I was above the clouds, in the sun... for the first time ever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'The Apostate' Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 "Man," Ditto said slapping Dwarfstar on the back as he walked past him towards the boat. "You could screw up a wet dream with all your delaying."Ditto's form shifted into a duplicate of Dwarfstar and using Dwarf's voice, with a mocking accent for kicks, goose-necked with each step he took. "'Pardon me figment of my imagination... do you have a tissue? Proper protection? Can you give an estimate of distance and approximate VC, I don't have a map you see. Dream or no, I should certainly endeavor to make this as difficult s possible, wait.... Figment... where are you going! I love you!'."In a blink he was Ditto again and winked at Vixen as he hopped in the boat. "Vixy, pure awesome, yer gonna have ta' show me that trick. Aight peeps, hop in the boat. We're supers, so get the lead out... riding off into storms that lead to alternate dimensions that smell like old socks is just par for the course.

Vixen Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 "What he said. Hold the lobster for me though, I'm a vegetarian." Vixen hopped in the boat. "'Water and then clouds,' 31? Wee you underwater? Was where you were held, underwater?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vixen Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 "So it's underwater... okay. Well, let's head out to sea a ways, then I can... uh... give everyone gills. And, uh, light-sensitive eyes.

SalmonMax Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 "If I can pinpoint the location of the base, I can take us there without going through the water," Tessaract says. "But we need to be closer."No sooner said, than the beach winked into inky greyness. They were still on the boat, but the boat was floating in a vast seeming emptiness.Then they were atop the water, and the sky was roiling and dark with clouds. Tess produced her dull grey 'conch shell' and started fiddling with it.(Using Device to see if I can detect any super powers around here besides the PC's. Range is a little over 1000 feet.)

Dawn OOC Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Tessa frowned as her device worked perfectly.

'The Apostate' Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 "Sweet!" Ditto exclaimed, gripping his newly acquired buoyancy. He paused, impressed with their size. "Wow... I didn't think you liked this much, thanks! Oh man wish Brightstar was hear, I'd so try and convince her into a wet t-shirt con-"He rasped slightly... tried to inhale but only wheezed... flopping about, much to everyone's (except prolly Tess) amusement, he gripped the railing and gracelessly dumped himself over the edge of the boat into the water.His wet head of hair popped up from the depths a moment later, panting slightly. "Breathe water... right gotcha... coulda warned me..." His geeky light hearted smile returned a second later. "C'mon in guys... this is kinda cool."Click to reveal.. For the record...

SalmonMax Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Tesseract frowned and looked up from the weird little thingy she was playing with."I'm detecting multiple perturbations in higher dimensional geometry surrounding us," she reported.

Vixen Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Vixen blinks at this revelation. She then sniffs the air, trying to make out any scents in the turbulence. "You got a way to detect them? Here or back at the base?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vixen Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 "All righty. Mermaid, mermaid, mermaid, mermaid." Vixen points at everyone untransformed in turn, saving herself for last, green flashes flying about.She pauses, looking at herself - from the waist up, perfectly normal (for her) albeit in a green seashell bra, and a fish from the waist down. Then she looks at Dwarfstar and Thirty-One - their chests, anyways - and looks embarrassed. "Uh, sorry about the, er, the what-nots, I'll - look, just swim. Tesseract, try and point us in the right direction."Maybe I watched The Little Mermaid too much as a kid...Click to reveal.. Okay, I can't actually add power points to you - that involves the Empowerment power - so your power point totals are the same, shifted around as such.You gain: Immunity 1 (breathe underwater), Darkvision (2pp), and Swimming at 2 ranks (50mph.) Cost is 5pp. To counterbalance, there's the No Legs drawback at 4pp and you each lose a point of Strength. You can still breathe air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Dwarfstar looks around and down at himself, then turns to Vixen, "Well, I suppose I should thank you, but yeah, you could have tweaked your spell or whatever a bit. Oh, well, lets go swimming I guess."With that he flies overboard into the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 That blue waters were warm, but the high waves and screaming winds removed any pleasure. Once the team submerged though - that was a different world. The sea was still dark, but not as dark as it should have been; lights glowed from far below them.Thirty-one shivered and started to kick down, frowning. Click to reveal..
