Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
"Fence is here, and Dealers are here. I think it was said they usually keep a guy or two around but talk was they were thinking of expanding. Given how the city is they might have a few more. Can't say what they are packing in weapons but a gun or two is likely. Replies Gator to Marco. She marks and labels the targets on the map with the offered marker as she talks.
"I have nothing really pressing, right now at least. She says to the offer of assistance. She makes her way to the Workshop a little after Marco, seeing as people seem to be congregating there.
"Did I hear something about metal?" says Gator before seeing that the mention was directed at Tina. "I know this is a little out of the blue, but once you and the rest of the Royals are set up would you object towards making me some new armour? I'll pay of course, just want to check it an option first". She sounds quite pleased with the opportunity.my homebrew signature:

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
After Tina has finished modifying the lights on her armor with an on/off feature and it's clear the other people in here don't need her right now, Nicky gets to work on the first device she wants to make. A food replicator.
Spoiler
Basically I'm thinking it's a rectangular device that you put biological material into and get food out of. It can learn recipes by instruction or being given digital text of the ingredients and cooking methods and it's also "smart" and learns preferences/how a user expresses things. Also if possible I'm wanting the device to be able to change size and shape, with it's smallest around the size of a rubik's cube and at its largest around the size of a pizza oven.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
As Tina questions Claire about her power, Claire responds, "It's perception based. Sights, sounds, touches, smells, and even taste give me information. Maybe if I had other senses those would work too? I'm not sure what other senses there are, or even if they would work, but maybe." Claire pauses for a second, examining the suits, before saying, "Both look great, and I'd be happy with either! I do prefer mobility over durability, though, if that would make a difference."
As Nicky replies, Claire says, "Alright, punching is more than acceptable for whatever thugs they have. I can see if the stranger has any ideas later." Claire then smirks before continuing, "I'll leave you to your buizzness then."Last edited by Vorpalspell; 2017-06-13 at 12:30 AM.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
"Yea I remember hearing his name being thrown around by scuttlebutt, providing the power armour for some super secret super solider program.Marco seems to dift off a bit, Crazy stuff. Glad your on our side."
"light is good. Less metal im wearing the more medical supplies I can carry. I dont really need anything in particular for my powers, but that soundproofing sounds really really useful. If you've not got any better use for it that is. And if your not making a new one you can focus more on neat toys" Marko finishes with a smile.
--After--
The next morning Marco is up early so he cook's breakfast for those that want it, its bacon and eggs.
Spoiler: Top hiveminds
Marco's may have had a run in with aformentioned super soldier. It didnt go well. He is imagining another team member in 7 foot tall green power armour. The parallels are disturbing.
The mention of a sound proofed helmet perks Marco up significantly. Its obvious that he relishes the idea of being able to block out the noise of combat.
Marco has not slept well. He never sleeps well. Bacon and eggs is the only meal he knows how to cook that isnt an MRE.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Darwin is the second to lumber into the kitchen, wearing the same set of clothes as the previous night. They nod to Marco as they pad past him, opening up the fridge, apparently searching for something to their taste.
Darwin inhales deeply, then reaches for what remains of the carton of eggs, closing the door behind them with a gangly elbow and leaning against the fridge. Gently, with long and too-delicate looking fingers, they open the carton, and grab an egg. They consider it for a moment, before popping it, shell and all, into their mouth. They crunch down on the eggshell, savoring the taste, before swallowing its remains in one smooth motion.
"Good morning," They thrum in greeting, removing another egg from the carton.

"Smells good. Speaking of food, I made a food replicator, that I just finished working on before going to sleep last night. It's a bit heavy though. Would someone mind helping me move it in here after we eat?" Nicky says, and takes a plate of breakfast.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Marco watches darwin take out the tray of eggs with growing confusion as he proceded to eat one raw, "Would you like that cooked Anagenisis? Their much better that way...
When Synthesis comes in he serves her some eggs, sunnyside up, "Ill help move your machine. Itd probably be best to get it sooner rather than later." he glances at the egg tray that Darwin has. How much does someone your size eat anyway? No offense intended."
"After breakfast im going to go scope out this grow operation from a distance. Did anyone want to join me? Be a good chance to get a feel for the area here too."

Finishing up in the workshop
Tina turns back to her samples after Claire and Marco answer, "great, I can have that together as soon as my new samples are ready.
Also, Gator, given our plans I think selling some of my tech sounds like it should be acceptable. We can set ourselves up as arms dealers that way. Just give me some specs and I'll hammer something out. Un-B, can you test out your voice box? I think it's about done."
Breakfast
Tina comes out to the smell of food, "mmmmm, that smells fantastic... Can I get some of that?"Internet access is consistent now, but I'm about 17 hours ahead of PST these days.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
-After, at breakfast-
Claire bumbles into the room after Tina, hair disheveled and eyes bleary as she yawns and beelines for the coffee maker. She carefully begins making a very large pot of coffee, not paying attention to anything going on. Instead of turning and making any kind of conversation while waiting for the coffee to finish, she sits on the counter, leans backs, and closes her eyes. When the coffee finishes brewing with a beep, she reaches over, eyes still closed, and grabs the pot. Instead of grabbing a mug or some other container, she simply unscrews the top and carefully sips directly from the pot, eyes still closed.Player Character Identity Power Ratings Vorpalspell Claire Bell Queen Bee People-Based Intuition Thinker 6, Master 2

Finishing up in the workshop:
Gator nods, pleased with having access to a tinker. "How about I come by in... a week or two? You can take my measurements and we discuss pricing and any specifics to work with my power".
A moment of thought later she speaks again.
"So if I heard Marco right the current plan before hitting the targets is to let the Tinkers do their thing, while some of the others scope out the area? Because if you guys are done with questions I may as well hit the road. You know how to get into contact anyway. Oh, actually I could write down my number, the whole 'ask the homeless or a rat' thing is Rat King's idea. I swear that Ward with the..." After a second of confusion she continues. "...EMP is more tech-savvy than him. Wont even look suspicious, if anyone asks why you have it I can just say how I'm talking business with the Tinker".my homebrew signature:

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Breakfast
Darwin slurps down another egg before answering. "Enjoy eggs. Can eat them raw," they pull a third egg out of the carton, and toss it into their mouth, "Enjoy doing so," they say with a full mouth, "Find combination in crunch of eggshell and delicate yolk sublime," They quickly ate a fourth egg before delicately closing the carton and returning it to the fridge.
Darwin gives Claire a wide berth as she shuffles into the kitchen to nest at the coffee pot. Darwin may not have much in the way of social understanding, but the thinker could talk their wars off, and that was the last thing Darwin wanted.
"Would love to join you," they say, indicating Marco with a nod that seems to involve their entire neck, "But...am not subtle. Stand out in crowds. Better to stay home. Have book. Will read,"
Spoiler: The Bee
Darwin seems to be avoiding doing something that might provoke you, in the same way an animal might be cautious around something that isn't a predator, but could be more trouble than it's worth.
Also, man, that cape loves eggs.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Finishing up in the workshop
Tina nods at Gator's suggestion, "week or two should be good. I'll have some basic test pieces done tonight, which I should be able to put together into a test suit. By the end of the week I should have this stuff at a sell-able state, barring any serious problems. It isn't nearly the trouble that Tinatanium gave me. Also, cell phone number sounds good."
Once The Unbodied responds Tina smiles, "great, this will at least let you talk. We'll need to check to make sure that everything is okay, so I'll do some diagnostics checks on it daily and hopefully have it working perfectly by tomorrow or the next day. Anything else I can get you, now that you can actually tell me?"
Spoiler: bee stuff I've been forgetting to sayTina appears somewhat nervous about selling to villains, but also hopes that she can make a positive impact here. She's incredibly happy once she gets a response from Unbodied.
Breakfast
Tina watches Claire with the coffee, then stifles a laugh when she starts drinking straight from the pot, "rough night?
Anyway, I've got the parts ready to make a test suit. Like I told Gator, it shouldn't be too long before we can actually have something useful made of this stuff." She walks over to the fridge to grab some oj while she continues, "I'm probably going to want a break from the workshop for a bit though, don't really want to burn out. Hey Marco, can I come with you? I could use a chance to get out,
and would make a pretty good insurance policy if things go sideways."
Spoiler: more beesShe clearly wants to get out for a bit, though she's obviously not sure why she does right now. She seems a little concerned about the possibility of Marco going alone.Last edited by Thematthew; 2017-06-17 at 11:39 PM.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Once Marco is finished, Nicky guides him over to the food replicator. Currently it's the size of a microwave and surprisingly heavy. After they carry it back to the kitchen and find a place to set it down, she throws some organic ingredients in she doesn't particularly like or care for (like say brussel sprouts or canned corn or such). She then tells the food replicator, "Make a single layer cheesecake, the kind with the strawberries and strawberry syrup stuff on top."
Spoiler: Bee-Sides
Nicky is basically taking the food replicator for a test run here. Seeing how well it handles making something radically different from the organic ingredients put in as well as how it handles instructions that are vague enough it'll have to look them up and figure out the correct answer.
It seems like she's fairly confident as otherwise you get the impression she might not have brought it into the kitchen, but that she's not 100% it'll work 100%.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Unbodies speech jolts Marco out of his hypnotic watching of Darwin eat whole eggs. "OH! Great to hear you unbodied, was starting to question if someone was playing a prank on us."
He tries to hide his stupid wide grin as Clair drinks from the coffee pot and is about to ask about her night when Tina beats him to the punch.
"Yea id be happy to have a scouting buddy..." Marco replys to Tina, pausing to think for a moment."You're basically bullet proof right? It might be good to see how you fare in war world. Itd be great if we could move around via it as a group for stealth. Ill be picking up a vest, taser and flashbangs from the supply closet after breakfast then heading out. So like half an hour."
--After moving food replicator--
"So you can make machines that turn one thing to another?"Marco asks Synthesis" Could you make a gold plating machine? Build a palace to match the team name."
When he has a chance he discreetly asks Synthesis "Could you synthesize me a strong fast acting sedative? just need a couple of doses."
As he is preparing to leave the base with Tina Marco asks the rest of the group. "Has anyone seen Heartbeat? They might not be a morning person but... Someone check on them while were out? Anyone else coming?"
Spoiler: I thought bees loved honey not coffee
Marco is genuine in basically everything said here.
Hes genuinly curious about how the war world will react to another person being there while hes not stressed out and is fairly confident that he can pull Tina out before things can escalate to a point that she might get hurt. Low risk is Marcos prefered mode. Thus the desire to scout out.
You passively pick out that Marco dosent consider dealing pot a real crime in that there are really no victims, Hes toying with the idea of using his civilian identity to build legit dispensierys and warding the cops off with his cape persona. Would regular cops raid if they had to deal with capes there. Would the PRT bother with somthing so.. Trivial?
You pick up that he wants the sedative for himself, not in a substance abuse way in a plan b sort of way.
Hes sorta concerned about Heartbeat. They should be up by now.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Tina smiles back to Marco, "outside of my suit, bullets are a little more bothersome than getting repeatedly punched.
In my suit, It might as well not be happening. My Tinkering is just something passed on to my dad, you know second-gen stuff. My primary ability is all about force. Forces don't act as hard on me as they should, and I act a whole lot harder on everything else than I should. As such,
I've been able to bench press some cars and walked away from more than my share of car accidents." While she's explaining she thumbs in the direction of the workshop to emphasize the point about her armor.
At Marco's equipment suggestions she nods, "sounds good, just don't point the taser at me. Armor doesn't conduct well,
but I don't like getting directly zapped."Internet access is consistent now, but I'm about 17 hours ahead of PST these days.

Dorian stumbles into the kitchen as Marco mentions her name. "S-sorry, I haven't slept in a real bed in a while." She goes to grab a plate while stifling a yawn and grabs some of what's left of breakfast. "Anyways, what's happening today? Anything I can help with?"
Spoiler: Queen Bee

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
After Breakfast
"Well, my next project is going to be a sort of philosopher's stone sort of thing. So yeah I guess that's a thing we could do. Though we really shouldn't." Nicky replies.
To the discreet query she responds, "Ugh. More wordplay. So that's how this team is gonna be huh?" Her disdain/annoyance is clearly contrived as she has a grin right after the grimace. "Hmmm. I could maybe make a chemical fabricator of some sort. That does seem like a thing this tinker power could do. Sounds interesting. Mind if I ask what you'd need a sedative for?"
Tinker Time
As discussed with Marco, Nicky begins working on the next items on her list. Starting with the "philosopher's stone". Maybe getting around to the chemical fabricator.
Spoiler: Tinker Tech Concepts
So what I'm thinking of for the first item is a flat disk that has a base size of about a dinner plate and can extend out to large enough to park a tank on. It can change the metal or minerals on the plate into any other basic metal or mineral or simple alloys (or nonsensical non-real "alloys" of minerals like ruby + marble or even of metals and minerals like iron + copper + sapphire). Basically I'm thinking it can't make anything more complex than regular steel. It can do this without changing the shape of the item in question or it can be set to change the shapes of the material into basic geometric shapes that sit on the plate. (Bars, poles, disks, spheres, pyramids, cylinders, etc. Nothing more complex than say a hollow cylinder.) It takes a bit of time to work and the object(s) that are being changed can't be moving very much. So this isn't a combat device.
The second device is.... well it's a chemical fabricator. It turns any other chemical (like say water) into any other. To make this a bit more interesting, let's say it can also make bottles, canisters, vials, and even injectors of various sizes (though nothing bigger than a thermos). This makes sense since not all chemicals are something you'd want just exposed to open air. The device itself is probably about the size of a coffee maker. Though it doesn't look like one (unless you have a particularly weird coffee maker I guess).

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Scoping Out the Growers:
Gunshots sound through the air, their origin unseen.
The worn streets and ruined roads are lined with foliage of all sorts, plants foreign to the area thriving in the humidity. In front of you all is your target, or at least it's counterpart in whatever reality or pocket dimension you all presently inhabit. Close by lies the corpse of one of the locals, left where it dropped. Just turning the corner to move out of sight a small patrol is leaving the area.
The building from where the grow operation takes place is denser with hanging plants than its surroundings, from the ground creepers reach up while packed vines pour down from any opening from the first floor. One wall has rotted away to expose a room containing a pair of conversing figures in reality.
When looking into the real world Marco spots a burnt-out husk of an office building that can reasonably be said to be uninhabited in reality. While the buildings interior is gutted and stairs destroyed, the roof and exterior fire escape prove stable in both worlds. both the roof and the top floor are suitable as places to observe from.my homebrew signature:

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Marco points up to the side of the burnt building where the fire escape is. He points up sharply and then taps his finger back down.
Without waiting for the others he moves to the building and climbs the fire escape. Once on the roof he tests the integretiy of the floor below in both worlds. If its safe he leads the others down there and brings them all to the real world. if the floors unstable even slightly they emerger on the roof.
"Well that went nice and smoothly! Lets see what kinda Cheetos these stoners like." Marco offers the binoculars to Queen Bee.

Claire grins, accepting the binoculars, and replies, "My money's on 'flamin' hot'." She then begins observing what she can of the growers, trying to scope out their approximate size, temperament, success, and hoping to find something particularly interesting.
After a time, she checks with her power to see which type of cheetos most of the group would prefer.Last edited by Vorpalspell; 2017-06-27 at 11:57 AM.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Scoping Out the Growers:
Back in reality it is discovered that the hole in a wall is not present, but a change of angle opens up an angle from which those inside can be viewed. The area the vines emerge from have most of their curtains shut.
The two people in the room are both male. One is a slim guy in sunglasses and casual wear, he is the one the best view is of and is leaning adjacent the window. The other is on the short side, bearded, bearing a nose piercing, dressed in camo-pattern pants, and all-in-all built like a brick wall. The second man is pacing the room, clearly displeased.
This is where Claire's power steps in.
The thin guy looks to be one of the people in charge around there. He is presently relaxed, coming down off a high, and emotionally shows that mix of low quantity hope, pride, and gratification, indicative of either a businessman or a gambler. He is primarily comforting the other man and his concerns in the way business is heading. The scale of his ego is notable, few without powers show anything close to his even if there is nothing suggesting he has any.
The Bearded man is a little harder to get a read on with his pacing taking his out of view half the time. He is... overstressed? overworked? In whatever case he is disliking the way business is going, you get the distinct impression the term 'small fish in a big pond' is getting thrown around between puffs on his cigarette. His future plans likely including an early stiff drink. His condition and attitude make it likely he is the equivalent of 'head of security' for the dealers.
Beyond those two, out back a van has parked and the driver is presently involved in dragging a cardboard box inside. The driver calling inside for help moving the box, that on closer inspection is a cheep table, and a woman makes her way over to help. Their emotions offer little of use although the woman find it a bother that she has to help with moving it. between that and her empty holster it can be inferred she is among the operation's muscle and the driver a more general purpose 'handyman'.
Also of note is a customer of the establishments product who has came to buy direct from the source. She looks normal enough but everything about radiates danger. The way she turns corners as if inspecting it for hidden attackers. The way she stands ever so slightly crouched, prepared to dash at any potential attackers. Fists at the ready and sometimes inching towards her waist, searching for a weapon that is not there. The way her stare shows not a willingness but an expectation for violence. Whoever she is, she has gone through some form of trauma, likely related towards the signs of a military background. Her thoughts are nothing especially complex, just her wish for some drugs to calm her nerves and an edge of worry as she is prepared for a fight in the near future.
Overall it can be inferred from what Claire can find on shift changes that the group has about six or so people who would be of worth in any sort of fight, plus the owners and an unknown number of other dealers who would likely not be present for the takeover. The people mostly have a preference for staying quiet, apart from 'slim' upstairs wanting to expand larger.
The group's overall Cheeto preference is an even split between Flamin' Hot and Crunchy Cheddar Jalapeño.my homebrew signature:

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
During the stake out Marco pulls out some paper and starts drawing a map of the growers building in marker. Making sure to note down possible entry and escapes in both worlds such as the hole in the wall.
"Any idea on who's in charge of our coniferous compound down there? Any suggestions on how to approach beesiness here?" Marco asks Queen Bee
Spoiler: Puns for the Pun queen
Marco is far to proud of his pun here.
But hes set up an entry plan and has designated the building that we currently reside in as a rally point in case anything goes wrong. The act of drawing out the map is soothing the previously increasingly jittery nerves he had.
The less unknowns the calmer he is.
He is incredibly pleased that Bee is here to figure out the social aspects of the business proposal. He feels kinda bad that Tinas not got much to do at this point.

When Claire looks like she is about to respond she instead swiftly clutches her head, drops to the floor, and utters a cry of agony as migraines overtake her.

Re: Wormverse 'Villains' Game Team 2 IC
Darwin blinks a few times, removing themselves from the book they're slowly reading. " 'Cape and Community'. Alain Badiou. Power dynamics in superpowered age. Fascinating. Relevant. Perhaps beyond me." They rumble. Darwin tries to smile again. They have far too many teeth. It does not work.
Darwin is silent for a moment. Perhaps thoughtful. "Am glad you came by. Comment reminded me to mention. Not 'big guy'. Not guy. Theoretically have haploid-diploid gamete structure. Evidence presence in scans. All evidence points to isogamy. Question academic. Have no sex organs. Chromosomes ZW-WW configuration. Socially, want to avoid taking gender role without careful thought. Not a guy," Darwin again tried to pull their lips into what they probably meant as a reassuring smile. That's, at least, the sentiment you feel them failing to get across.
"Do not wish to make problems. Simply wanted to correct. Understand where impression comes from. Am built quite large," Darwin calmly produces a bookmark from their pocket and gently marks their place, before shutting the hardcover book with a snap. "You wish to talk?"
Spoiler: OOC
Alain Badiou is a real philosopher, but I imagine he'd be writing something very different in the wormverse. I imagine 'Cape and Community' would be some sort of neo-marxist take on capes.
In other news, thank god for wikipedia, when characters know way more about a subject (biology, fictional modern philosophy) than you do.

Nicky stares blankly at Darwin for a moment, barely understanding anything they just said. "Uh.... sure? Guess Bee was right. Humans tend to have genders. So... no 'sex organs' huh? That blows." Nicky pauses and then laughs at her own accidental joke. "Well I guess it very specifically doesn't." and then snickers for a bit.
