"Sorry, sorry. I kinda do that to anyone interesting."
Turning to the two guards, she blinks.
"Who or what is this... V? And if anyone mentions the word 'Vendetta,' I'll just stop listening. My powers are not related to some dude in a Guy Fawkes mask."

[Earl of Purple]

Will

I never hurt anybody. All those fires were purely coincidence, okay? I had nothing to do with them. Not even the one that occured this morning involving that tree. I did not just say that. Will's nostrils are no longer smoking, and neither is his mouth. His ears, however, are.

[Midboss]

Was he the only sane one here?

"Riiiiiigggghhhhtttt...."

The sample taken, James remained to hear a little about that famous V. He needed information badly about that. If true then the situation just got a lot more complicated.

[ArlEammon]

[B]Morte and Sayid looked at the assembled superhumans, sharing a concerned look on their faces. Morte spoke first. "We also have a request for all confined here. There are currently agents of V in Alaska and Russia right now. They're running away from everyone and being damn successful at it. There is a group of V's followers holing up in an ancient Siberian city. We have reason to believe that V himself is there - but everyone we've sent, including entire squads of NAVY Seals, have been lost and never heard from again.

We're going to need all the help we can get, and you're powerful enough that maybe you'll stand a chance. What do you think?"B]http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...50#post5579850

"So, what? We're being sent to root out some agents of someone we haven't been told about at all... in Siberia? Isn't that where hamsters are? And salt mines?"

[ArlEammon]

"So, what? We're being sent to root out some agents of someone we haven't been told about at all... in Siberia? Isn't that where hamsters are? And salt mines?"

"We don't know much about V...... and no he's not the famous comic book character and movie character from the 80's and mid 2,000's."

"He's a cosmic creature more powerful even than the Potentate. Thats all we really know."

[Midboss]

"Cosmic creature... Do you mean from space like the martians or some incomprehensible horror like Chtulu ? Either way, I have trouble seeing how I can help on that matter.... Especially if SEALs and other special forces could have failed."

He acted worried while minning for information.

"And no Siberia is that very cold place where all invasions fail miserably. Kind of like here until the climat changes."

"Uh.... you're supersoldiers.... people.... you are the best we have to offer, except for warriors needed to keep the Potentate in Power. You can take down elite warriors of the army easily, and with your special talents we shudder to even imagine what you can do."

OOC: Please understand that you can do whatever you want, but the story line will be less frustrating if some people agree to the adventure.

[Earl of Purple]

Will

Actually, hamsters do come from Siberia. Don't know about the salt though, it doesn't burn. I mean, I'm not interested in salt. But not because it doesn't burn easily. There is still smoke wisping up from his ears. At least, I think hamsters come from Siberia. I wanted a hamster once, but my first foster-parents wouldn't let me have one, but they kicked me out after I was seen with matches the day after their shed spontaneously combusted. Turning his attention back to the blue/green haired person, Will replied I share the strange person in the hat's opinion that a cosmic being could be rather awkward to deal with. Unless they burn, as fires mysteriously occur around me. Will is playing with a match again now. He's holding it upside down, and the flame is pointing downward.

[Beans]

"Well, I've always liked seeing things blow up. I was born in Iceland anyway, so I'm better with the cold than most. Er, we'll be getting some gear, right? Coats and all?"
She scratches idly at the nape of her neck.
"This V dude better enjoy a mess," She cracks her neck-joints, making a sound comparable to firecrackers, "Because if I've got anything to say about it, chaos is on his menu."

[Earl of Purple]

Will

I believe I shall join you on your, er, our, quest Ilja. I don't believe require a coat, I'll probably be warm enough. I hope this "V" chappie likes fire. I do. Not like fire, I don't deliberately burn things. Except bonfires. And paper with personal details on. And matches. His hair is smoking again, as are his ears. The match's flame is now blue, and there is very little of it left. It's giving off a lot of heat, and should be burning his fingers.

[Midboss]

"Well I guess I'll help in whatever way I can. I must just confess that I have no real training in combat. And she raises quite a good point. We will be getting gear right ? Artic clothing, transport, weapons ?"

[Smiley_]

Sparky

Cosmic horror? Stopping some inevitable doomsday? Saving the world? It beats working...Let me put on my Patriotic Leotard and mask!

Excuse me for a sec...

Sparky's body enveloped the t-shirt he was wearing, balling it up inside his body. He spat out the wad of cloth and shrugged, tossing it in to a nearby wastebin.

[ArlEammon]

"Well I guess I'll help in whatever way I can. I must just confess that I have no real training in combat. And she raises quite a good point. We will be getting gear right ? Artic clothing, transport, weapons ?"

"You can take injections at the Medical Center, you won't be bothered by the cold at all. It will feel like 76 degrees."

[qube]

Yoshi Kuromitsu

Yoshi seems to be fallen silent... "euh, yeah, I'dd also like to join, if .. euh .. able"

On the other hand, Kumiko is back to very energetic. "Oooh, I wanna come. I never seen siberia. I heard its cold out there. Is it cold there? I wonder if it's cold there. Maybe I should make a snowman. Do you know how to make a snowman?" she asks Morte
"A big one, not a small one. With a hat, and a broom. Oooh and do they sell Icecream there?" she asks Sayid
"Oooh can we make snow angels?" she asks Yoshi.

Yoshi makes a hushing sound, and Kumiko falls silent, only to starting humming Jinglebells a few seconds later ...

[Earl of Purple]

Will

Oh, yes, weapons. Always useful, in a fight. Especially flamethrowers. But other guns are also useful, oh yes. Especially big ones that make lots of noise. The match is still burning, even though there appears to be none left. Smoke is coming from his hair, ears, nostrils and mouth. His eyes are also reflecting a fire, but that's less noticable than the halo of smoke surrounding his head. Judging by that, it's rather clear he's relatively excited. Can anybody else smell smoke or is it just me?

[Beans]

"God knows I can't get enough injections. Alright, what about transportation, stuff to eat, weapons? I have a pocket razor," she flicks the small blade of the object out of the handle, "some bandaids in my shoulder-bag, and a packet of cough-drops. Those are not gonna cut it."
"And Will," she puts a hand on his shoulder. "we can smell smoke, at least I can. But it's, y'know, you."
Hearing Kumiko's jabbering, she turned to the ghost-girl.
"I don't think they sell ice-cream there, Ku... Kuki... er, Kumiko, right? Yeah. Snow angels and/or men, that's possible. Or snowwomen. Or snow devils. Snow Satan... er, what was I talking about?"

[ArlEammon]

"Well, one of the unique things about you and your powers is that you don't really need to eat.... at all really. You don't even defecate after you eat, you just become a tiny bit stronger.... I think, actually, if you wanted to you could all just walk naked and it wouldn't hurt you for the cold.. I'm surprised they are even offering injections."

Morte and Sayid looked at eachother. "We think its important you understand that we accompany you."

[Midboss]

Yeah well, not EVERYONE needed to eat. His situation was rather a special case.

"Come to think of it, I'm not sure the injection would work on young Kumiko here. But then again, I'm not entirely sure she would need them. So, when and how would we be leaving would be the most appropriate question."

[Smiley_]

Sparky

Are you saying that the more we eat the stronger we become?

Sparky looked contemplative for a moment.

And I'll opt for going naked, thankyouverymuch. clothes never come in my size.

He didn't like this pair of nuts, telling them what needed to be done, but he was all for letting them come alon. Besides, a little bit of flotsam attracting enemy attention was always a good thing.

[ArlEammon]

"Basically yes.. But you couldn't tell... It only does so one single cell at a time for every pound of food you eat. So unless you have a few thousand years to just sit down and eat I wouldn't try that approach."

[Kaiser Omnik]

Ànde

Ànde nodded.

"I will be happy to go on this quest. I am sure we will learn a lot about ourselves in the process...but we may have to face our own inner demons in this journey...beware!"

The psychologist smiled.

"Basically yes.. But you couldn't tell... It only does so one single cell at a time for every pound of food you eat. So unless you have a few thousand years to just sit down and eat I wouldn't try that approach."

Sparky

The ooze stared at the speaker with that perfectly smooth "head" of his.

I can eat vast quantities of foodstuffs without getting sick.

His front swelled into a belly that he grabbed and jiggled around a bit.

Wanna see?

[ArlEammon]

"Mr. Jellyfish." The men commented. "Lets just get on with work. We have a few days before we have to go. Meanwhile you can do whatever you want in the city."

[Midboss]

"I can eat vast quantities of foodstuffs without getting sick."

His front swelled into a belly that he grabbed and jiggled around a bit.

"Wanna see?"

James turned and was careful not to throw up. That was just a little too far from him.

"Meanwhile you can do whatever you want in the city."

"Yes, would you know a place that does crash courses on combat and warfare and those other things ? I might just need that."

[ArlEammon]

James turned and was careful not to throw up. That was just a little too far from him.



"Yes, would you know a place that does crash courses on combat and warfare and those other things ? I might just need that."

"Uh... Try the Academy."

[Beans]

"Am I eligible for learning how to shoot stuff until it dies?"

OOC:

Does taking any class improve our DvR, or do we have to take specific ones?

[Midboss]

"I believe I shall. Good day to you all."

James went towards the exit and made his way towards the said Academy. Although he had some base knowledge of combat, thanks to his job, he definitly needed some extra training. He was planning to survive that mission afteral.

[Raz_Fox]

Joshua Talin

Josh simply stood in silence for several long moments, his gaze never leaving Ilja. Finally, he sighed. "God does everything for a reason. I may not be able to help too much, but I believe that I'm being told to accompany you. I hope you wouldn't mind. For now... do you need an escort back to your home, miss Ilja?"

[ArlEammon]

(Adventures can increase DvR, or a week at the tournament or Academy can do this. You dont' even have to specify what you are learning. However, eventually in the game you will receive your own followers. Through learning at the Academy or getting skills, you can then pass on your skills to your people. I'll explain this once a certain plot point has been passed.)
