"I vote hospital. See who made the cut before we did."

Gravitatas? Is he poking fun at her or something? I don't get it

Yep. He's just sort of feeling her out, trying to get a bead on how she'll react.

I thought it was a joke, but what does he mean by Gravitatas? Is he commenting on her breasts or something?

[Obscurejones]

Spoiler

Show

Yeah... Not proud of that one.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

I figured. Is Alex gonna respond to her now?

[Obscurejones]

Gravatar rolls her eyes at Alex's comment

"Just because I wanna help people doesn't make me nuts. If I were REALLY nuts I'd have bounced the father around like he was a superball just for the hell of it. And why mention my chest? Jealous your girlfriend doesn't have tatas like mine?"

Spoiler

Show

Yep

"Just being petty. It's been a long day of creeping out little girls and being reminded that I'm second choice for a second choice team. That being said..." He shakes his head.
Nope. Not gonna say it.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

"No man could resist my tatas. But they usually do when they see the belly they're sitting on."

[Obscurejones]

Alex nods with that old "And now the crazy person is talking" look on his face
"Okay then. Gravity girl has started discussing her endowments. Can we please get moving?"

[JeminiZero]

Doc Atom

Doc Atom flies over Middle park and surveys premises. Lets see now... Shady man talking to shady woman, with young child clinging to his pants. Nope. Man littering 3 feet from garbage can. Nope. Bunch of folk bickering like children. Ah! That must be the new team. Hmm... thats odd, I don't see anyone matching Cap Unstoppable among them.

OOC: Where is Wadledo and Collin. No point visiting the hospital if they actually chose to be resting in HQ.

((OOC: Since I'm going to come out the portal anyway, I think I'll post now before UglyPanda does to move quickly. I don't want to miss the team before they go the hospital and/or telepath))

Captain Unstoppable lands in the park, having flown out of the portal through the force of his jump.

Spotting the team (they're not exactly hard to miss) he leaps over to them. He poses dramatically.

"HELLO RECRUITS! I AM CAPTAIN UNSTOOOOOOPABLE!"

The Captain's voice booms throughout the park, easily being heard by Doc Atom flying above and scaring off some birds perched in the trees.

[Obscurejones]

"You know what, Cap? Even though we're outside, indoor voices are allowed. Really they are. Don't even get fined or nothing."

"Captain Unstoppable?! I had no idea we'd be working with him!"

[UglyPanda]

From what you can tell, Cross is staring down a pigeon. He then takes out her phone, listens to something for a minute, then puts it away.

"I really don't recommend talking to crazy artist number three. There's also some guy at a karaoke bar, but he isn't going to be very useful. Anyways, we've got news of a gun shipment at the docks at midnight. So you guys have to stay sober for the time being."

[kpenguin]

"Captain Unstoppable?! I had no idea we'd be working with him!"

OOC: Is this a joke?

[Obscurejones]

"There was the possibility of alcohol?"
Dropping to his knees the Black Blur screams to the heavens.
"BOOOOOOOOOOZE!"

[UglyPanda]

"Wait, what day is today?"

Cross then looks at his watch, and says "Okay, it's next week. Kill your livers all you want today."

[Obscurejones]

"Team we have reached the most important milestone in a teams formation... The Drinking! Who knows a decent bar and or pub?"

[UglyPanda]

"It's 1 am. Just wanted you to know that in case I'm supposed to be the voice of reason."

OOC:
There is one nice bar that tailors exclusively to superpowered individuals on the other side of town, but the more famous superheroes hate it there. Otherwise, there are way too many bars in this city, so you can come up with your own descriptions if you desire.

[kpenguin]

"I would prefer you all get to know the other members of the team. Head to the hospital perhaps and do a bit of meet and greet."

Unstoppable claps a hand on The Black Blur!™'s shoulder.

"But you shall have your chance at drinks tonight! We shall drink together and forge the bonds that make our team strong!"

[Obscurejones]

"We're superheros and no one's getting robbed or blown up at the moment. By estimate each of us has either the powers or the sheer mass to drink heavy liquor until next week without worrying about the buzz."
He jerks a thumb towards Captain Unstoppable.
"See the most experienced team member agrees with me. Plus I want to see what happens when people who can defy the laws of physics get smashed."

[kpenguin]

"Tonight, my loose-mouthed comrade. Tonight! Before then, I believe we should visit our wounded teammates in the hospital."

Captain Unstoppable scans the area.

"This is everyone, yes?"

Notice check to notice anything in the area that might have something to do with the team. Doc Atom perhaps?
Notice - (1d20+8)[25]

[The_Reaper]

"Wait, what just happened? Where'd this guy come from? And...it might be best if I don't get to drunk."

[kpenguin]

"CAPTAIN UNSTOPPABLE! at your service!"

The Captain extends a hand.

"I'm one of the original members of the team."

A hearty chuckle.

"Which means that I was on it yesterday instead of today."

[Archpaladin Zousha]

OOC: Is this a joke?

Spoiler

Show

Why would it be a joke? She said that because she didn't expect to be working with someone who's been in superheroing for so long and has maintained his enthusiasm for it. While Gravatar still holds to her belief that "Superheroes are people too," she admits that some supers are so into superheroing they don't have room to be people too, and Captain Unstoppable is one of those people. She thinks he's not as deep as someone like Impact, but respects him as one of the most dedicated superheroes out there. What, did I make a gaffe or something?

When Gravatar said "him" instead of "you", I thought she was making some crack about Michael not being the real Captain Unstoppable or at least a secondhand one

Oh, it was nothing like that at all. She was making a surprised comment and I didn't think he was talking to her in the first place.

Ah. That's cool.

A hearty chuckle.

"Which means that I was on it yesterday instead of today."

"The fact that you're on the team at all is a great honor! I've always admired you, Captain. Can I call you Captain"

Gravatar goes up to shake his hand.

[Obscurejones]

"*Cough Cough Kiss Ass Cough Cough*"
"So can we get moving? Even a non-speedster would be bored by now."

[kpenguin]

"The fact that you're on the team at all is a great honor! I've always admired you, Captain. Can I call you Captain"

Gravatar goes up to shake his hand.

Captain Unstoppable leans down a bit to shake hands with Gravatar.

"I'm not as great as all that! Just trying to live up the name. But thank you, Miss..."

OOC: No result on that notice check?

[Archpaladin Zousha]

"...Gravatar. I'm one of those college students who got superpowers a few years ago."
