[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "He reduces that to 2 stress and a boost by spending an fp on 'Cyborg Body'! And ticks his 2-stress box."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Woo."

Quellynne dodges and rolls out of the way with inhuman speed, but her legs are still giving her some trouble, and she can't quite turn the tables on her attackers.
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(init next)"
Meanwhile ,Wodehouse the butler pulls out a spoon and deflects energy from his eyes off the surface of the silver spoon and straight at the Figurehead, who is then enveloped in a transparent force field! 'Safety will be provided, Mister Parker.' He raises an eyebrow at the Anarchy Squad. 'You cannot hope to win.'
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "I'm guessing this is Shielding, similar to CP's?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "This is the 'protective' ability I mentioned you sensing in him"
[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "yep"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "o no"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Dealing collateral damage to his own base! I hope he has good insurance."
[peregaming] Courtney says, "That's probably not good"
Figurehead (to Bobby's mind) says, "Attack the person who just punched a moose. She is clearly against animal rights."
[peregaming] GM says, "(Of course, since this is collateral damage, and Bobby thinks with his fists, etc...)"
[peregaming] GM says, "(...you can see where I'm going with this)"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "What is the mechanical effect of this CDE?"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Or is it a compel?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "You are possessed during the Figurehead's turn, he puppeteers you (you can still act normally on your own)"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "What's the collateral damage?"
[peregaming] Bobby | Puppetry: You can attempt to control someone else���s body entirely. They can still take actions in a conflict as normal, but on your turn you may either take an action yourself or have your target take an action. You cannot make someone attack themself or cause themself purposeful harm���for instance, by leaping off a rooftop when they can���t fly���but you can have them target their allies and move into disadvantageous positions. Collateral damage tends to stem from the imperfect control you have over their body, or the psychological damage you cause to the both of you.
[peregaming] GM says, "Usually psychological in nature, and in this case it makes sense that it would result in physical damage"
[peregaming] GM says, "and yep, that's the one"
Bobby rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 0 | Epic (7)

Bobby exclaims (at Q), "Ack! Sorry! It was the moose! I promise!"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Oh, I have a great idea for a boost. Assuming no fp?"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "So, as a compel of Thinking With Your Fists, I'll offer a fp to say that Bobby, in missing Q, ended up punching a hole in the base!"
[Crows-Nest] Bobby asks, "Or a moost?"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "I'm not tagging anything, but I suppose the Figurehead could spend FP if he wanted."
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Instanly flooding the place with lava, killing us all?"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims (at GM), "OK!"
[peregaming] GM says (to Q), "not instantly :D"
[peregaming] GM says, "It's just a hole"
[peregaming] Courtney says (to Quellynne), "Not instantly! Consoles would start to spark, though"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Well, that's somewhat consoling."
GM gives a fate point to Bobby.

Bobby's relieved that Quellynne is so quick and able to duck out of the way, leaving Bobby's fist to connect harmlessly with the wall behind her. Which then cracks. And begins to leak...

[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Q), "Ah, yes! I'll spend an fp to cancel that boost, leaving me with no fp!"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "So, a physical attack on F is now opposed by Wodehouse?"
[peregaming] GM says, "Yep, but he can be overwhelmed"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "And if you hit the shield hard enough, Wodehouse will take the damage and might lose the shield."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Which would be fantastic, since my turn is next :)"
[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "OK, I think I'll attack the shield, then!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "And probably tagging a bunch of stuff."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Simon can help again!"
[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "I will have Simon help again!"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Then Wodehouse takes 1 mental stress box!"
[peregaming] GM says, "*ticks"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, hmm."
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can I tag a bunch of stuff, then?"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are you doing any tagging?"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I would tag Chair Club once, perhaps, as well as F's 'where's my chair', saying that he's staggering around, and Wodehouse is distracted having to move the shield to compensate."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "That makes sense!"
[peregaming] Quellynne says (to Bobby), "If you're OK with that."
[peregaming] GM says, "Precision Shielding has its drawbacks... :D"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hrm. If it'll take the shield down, OK."
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Now you know why CP rarely uses it"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I don't know how much we have to to do take the shield down."
[peregaming] GM says, "Don't overthink it"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "I will attack Wodehouse directly once I'm done with the swarm"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "But 5 total seems reasonable."
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Is Wodehouse statted as a nameless-style NPC or a full-fledged one?"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "or maybe I should start with him?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "he's basically just support, not someone who could really stand on their own"
Quellynne's assault on the shield includes a helpfully-tossed chair from Bobby, and Wodehouse has to compensate for the Figurehead regaining his footing, after losing his chair.
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Probably should have attacked W directly, but hey ;-)"
[peregaming] GM says, "5 stress is enough to take him out, unless he gives up on the shield"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Does he?"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "So he ticks his 2 stress box and the shield dies!"
Quellynne shouts "Ha!" triumphantly.
Quellynne advances the initiative: Figurehead(6) Quellynne/Simon(5) BOBBY(3) Courtney(1) Wodehouse(0)
[peregaming] Bobby asks (of Q), "Also, can I suggest that you jumped up onto the chair I'm holding to leap off of it for height, rather than my actually tossing you the chair?"
Wodehouse is mentally overloaded and has to mop his brow with a handkerchief. The shield is down!
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Absolutely."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Because I want to still be wielding it at this point to use my other free invoke."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(I thought you had a few of them.)"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hee."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Or that I tossed it back, or it bounced off the shield."
Bobby says (to Figurehead), "Say 'goodnight', Bullwinkle."
Bobby smashes the chair over the Figurehead's figure head!
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "I am tagging things!"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Both free invokes on Gorilla Form, plus the remaining free invoke on Chair Club."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Plus the Empowered boost."
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Plus, spending three fate points: Thinks With His Fists, Impressively Muscled and Mustached, and Made of Solid Energy!"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "(I assume the applicability of all of those is not in question.)"
[peregaming] GM says, "Correct"
The Figurehead attempts to defend against the dastardly melee brawler, El Mazo, with the aid of robot-jitsu...but...
[peregaming] Bobby says, "That's +6 from the free aspect invokes, +2 from the boost, and +6 from the fate points. And my normal +8 for the attack."
Bobby rolls Legendary+14 (+22) + 4dF: +1 +1 +1 0 | Legendary+17 (25)
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 +1 | Good (3)
[peregaming] GM says, "I have never seen this amount of damage before."
[peregaming] GM says, "22 stress."
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "And even if he has a 4 stress box, I think that means he can soak up to 16?"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "I thought you could only use one invoke per thing?"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "So really it's only 21."
[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "You can only spend one fate point per aspect."
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Oh, my bad."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "He had a 4 stress box, but I already took it. Along with the 3."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "So the three invokes that I spent fate points on had to be on three different aspects."
[peregaming] GM says, "I'm just trying to decide whether to concede or be taken out :D"
[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "I guess Jota has an early lunch date."
[peregaming] Bobby says (to GM), "Conceding has to be before I roll the damage :)"
[peregaming] GM says, "Ah, yes"
[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Bobby), "You completely destroy the Figurehead's robot body, leaving you with just the moose head! Narrate!"
[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wafhDIMU6w"
[peregaming] GM says, "Also, btw: this doesn't mean you guys are safe yet :D"
Bobby's chair drives the moose head downward into the body, where it shreds right through the mechanical chest, torso and abdomen, literally ripping it in two. The Figurehead's chin hits the floor with a THUMP, with teeth snapping together and biting the tip of his tongue, just before he completely passes out cold.

[peregaming] GM says, "(I counted)"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Would +7 have also taken them out?"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Courtney counted on it."
[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Anything higher than 6, really"
[peregaming] GM says, "they were fillers"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Oh, so would you allow me to reduce by one to use my heavy hitter stunt?"
[peregaming] GM asks (of Courtney), "I'd allow it; what does that do?"
[peregaming] Courtney | Heavy Hitter. When you succeed with style on a Fight attack and choose to reduce the result by one to gain a boost, you gain a full situation aspect with a free invocation instead."
[peregaming] GM says, "The situation aspect in this case is a Pile of Electronics"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Ha ha, okay"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Could be useful for staving off the lava flow!"
[peregaming] GM says, "Narrate and init next"
Courtney flickers into view behind the robot swarm! Falling down with a yell, her katana slashes through the air in totally physically realistic and plausible manner! She lands one knee and nonchalantly stands up while destroyed drones scatter to the ground around her.
Courtney advances the initiative: Figurehead(6) Quellynne/Simon(5) Bobby(3) Courtney(1) WODEHOUSE(0)
Wodehouse says, "No... Parker... not again..."
Quellynne says (to Wodehouse), "Come on, you don't need to help bad guys. Geez."
He drops to his knees, crying. The base starts shaking as the lava comes in through the hole Bobby made earlier. 'None of you... shall make it out of here.' He activates a device with a big red button, and the airlock begins to seal itself.
Quellynne tries to user her super-speed, to run up and block the airlock!
Bobby tosses the moose head to Quellynne!
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(I am a-ok with this not working, fwiw.)"
GM exclaims (at Quellynne), "As you run, you begin to phase through the glass! (Compel of 'Unexpected Phasing') and are unable to touch the airlock!"
GM gives a fate point to Quellynne.
Quellynne says, "Ack ow ow"
Quellynne asks, "Geez, that lava is *hot*! Who knew?"
Bobby says, "Looks like we need to find our own way out."
Bobby tears open the ventillation shaft!
Wodehouse keeps a stiff upper lip as the lava begins to fill the sphere. A puddle reaches him, he does not quiver.
Wodehouse says, "To struggle is futile, you... anarchists."
Courtney exclaims, "We will not go gently, asshole!"
Wodehouse says, "My master had so much to offer the world."
Wodehouse says, "All you know how to do... is destroy."
Wodehouse says, "In time, *he* would have built something beautiful."
Quellynne says, "Pfft. You can't build beautiful things by killing and destroying people."
Quellynne says, "Come on, let's get out of here."
Bobby follows Q.
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "So escaping the volcano will be a challenge!"
Quellynne picks up Wodehouse and tosses him to Bobby, then darts up the ventilation shaft!
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Woo!"
Bobby puts Wodehouse over his shoulder and crawls in after Quellynne.
[peregaming] GM says, "It'll involve Athletics (to outrace the rising lava), Physique (to withstand the heat), and a third skill... hm..."
[peregaming] GM asks, "Is a third skill absolutely necessary?"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Stealth?"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "You're the GM!"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "No, you can make challenges however long you want."
[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Courtney), "Stealth to outmatch the security lasers in the ventilation? Let's do it!"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "But maybe Will or Physique to withstand the heat?"
[peregaming] GM says, "Stealth or Burglary"
[peregaming] GM says, "(for the security systems in the vents)"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims (at Q), "He just said Physique to withstand the heat!"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I'll be over here if you need me."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Pfft, like Q is ever in one place for that long."
[peregaming] GM says, "So, I set the TNs for all of these at 5."
[peregaming] GM says, "Create Advantages are allowed, provided they make sense"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I'll be *back* over here if you need me."
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are we able to cooperate, or do we all need to succeed at all of them?"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks (of GM), "Is this a group thing, or is this something we all need to do individually?"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(timing!)"
[peregaming] GM says, "It's a group challenge! So cooperation it is"
Bobby takes up the rear, shielding everyone else from the heat of the lava with his own body!
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "That's the spirit!"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Maybe the challenge TNs go up depending on how many people we are, or something."
[peregaming] GM says (to Q), "correct"
Quellynne takes the front, racing up and down to find the easiest route for everyone!
[peregaming] Courtney says, "I think we don't need Create Advantage here, for Athletics"
[peregaming] Quellynne says (to Courtney), "You should keep a circuit board from the Pile of Electronics for your Burglary thing ;-)"
[peregaming] GM says, "Q is right"
[peregaming] GM says, "And you can also use your Always A Way Out stunt too"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "OK! Athletics first? TN?"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "5!"
[peregaming] Bobby asks (of Q), "Oh, are you re-empowering anyone?"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Oh, sure. How about Courtney?"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Sounds good, assuming her power applies here."
Quellynne empowers Courtney, and feels mentally refreshed when doing so--re-connecting with her home dimension is always soothing.
Quellynne races up the shaft!
Quellynne rolls Legendary+2 (+10) + 4dF: 0 -1 0 +1 | Legendary+2 (10)
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "pow!"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "wheeee!"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "That should work"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "With a boost for good measure."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I literally could not fail, so hey. Assuming that's an Overcome, that gives us a boost of Plenty Of Time."
[peregaming] GM asks, "Next, the security systems! Stealth/Burglary, do you do a Create advantage and then an Overcome?"
[peregaming] GM says, "Or are you confident enough to go for a straight Burglary Overcome, TN 5"
[peregaming] GM says, "because you have Plenty of Time"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "I am at a +6 for this, soo..."
Courtney rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 -1 0 +1 | Fantastic (6)
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Fantastic!"
[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Boom!"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Excellent."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "You cleverly outwit all the lasers!"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Wait +2 from the electronics"
[peregaming] GM asks, "So, a boost of 'Time To Spare'?"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "So you're spending that boost to get an new boost?"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "The +2 from the electronics is that you throw random circuit boards at the lasers and they short out."
[peregaming] Courtney says, "So we also have "... and then some" as a boost"
[peregaming] GM says (to Q), "haha"
[peregaming] Bobby says (to Q), "Hee."
[peregaming] Courtney says (to bobby), "No, my free invoke from that aspect"
[peregaming] Courtney says (to Quellynne), "hee hee"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Then finally, the heat!"
Bobby rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 +1 +1 +1 | Legendary (8)
[peregaming] GM says, "TN 5, physique-- wow"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Boosts, boosts, boosts for everyone!"
[peregaming] GM says, "Narrate your awesome escape from the Volcano of Doooooom"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Officially, you can't use a boost to declare a story detail."
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "But can I use my boost to declare a story detail?"
[peregaming] GM asks (of Bobby), "Why not use a fate point?"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "In case I needed it in the next scene :)"
[peregaming] GM says, "We've got 25 minutes left of game ;)"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "But go ahead, declare away!"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "But sure, I'll spend it. Tagging... Criminal Past."
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Hmm. Would it be too weird to use all our boosts to demonstrate to Wodehouse that us all working together is a great demonstration of what superheroing can do, instead of supervillaining?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "Not weird, but he'll have to get out of there by his own means ;)"
Bobby's used to looking out for loot from his old heisting days, so as they go past the vents for the kitchen, he notices a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice that was set out for later. They've got plenty of time, so he smashes open that vent and grabs it, along with some glasses, since they've got so much time to spare.
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, I thought we brought him with us."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Yeah, Q said she tossed him to me, so I said I put him over my shoulder."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Oho!"
[peregaming] GM says, "I missed that"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "So I assume I've been prodding him along in front of me while we escaped."
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Wasn't he in lava already?"
[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "He might need new shoes."
[peregaming] GM says, "He was about to be lava'd, yeah, but he's alive"
[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "If this were videogame lava, he would have been perfectly 100% fine right up until the moment the lava actually touched him, then boom, instantly dead."
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "lol"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "good thing you guys weren't in a Diana Trapp simulation"
[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "Ha."
[Crows-Nest] Bobby asks, "So do we make it out? What do we see?"
GM exclaims, "You make it out of the volcano and onto the beach!"
GM says, "Behind you, the volcano belches out some smoke."
Bobby says, "It's a shame, really. This was a pretty nice island."
Bobby checks Wodehouse's pockets for a phone.
GM exclaims (at Bobby), "You find one!"
Bobby locate's Diana Trapp's speed dial and calls it.
Diana's voice says, "Hello? Are you all right? What did the Figurehead say? We're in a pickle at the moment..."
Courtney says (to diana), "We're in a bigger pickle, I'd say."
Bobby asks (of Diana), "We're fine, but there was a bit of a mishap with some lava -- if you can extract us, maybe we can help you out?"
Bobby says, "Five to beam up."
Diana's voice says, "I don't know if they'll let me."
Bobby asks, "Who's 'they'?"
Diana's voice says, "Well... what's the word... the police stormed our HQ and they're listening in run away don't come back!"
Bobby says, "The police? Put the leader on the phone. Lemme talk to 'im."
[peregaming] GM says, "This is thanks to the intel you sneakily gave them an episode ago"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Yay!"
[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Yay, we doomed us!"
Falk's voice says, "Hello? Is that the... Anarchy Squad? How's the situation?"
GM says, "(you can almost hear him winking)"
Bobby says, "Yep, El Mazo here. We're on an island somewhere in the world. No clue where. Diana -- the one whose phone this is -- was our ticket back."
Courtney says, "Here it's pure .................................... chaos"
Bobby hands the bottle and glasses to Courtney while he's on the phone, along with -- surreptitiously -- the little packet of powder.
Falk says, "Hold on tight, and don't worry. We've got Lizzie who agreed to do us a favour and she can order Diana to do whatever's needed."
Bobby says, "Good. I'd rather be in police custody than die in a lava flow."
Falk says, "She was just in the... Neighborhood"
Bobby says (to Group), "Well, it was a good run, but it looks like we're going to have to deal with the cops now."
Courtney says, "I'll drink to that. Here Simon, takes this glass"
Quellynne says (to Falk), "Hey, treat them nicely, OK? In general they seemed like nice people, and their leader was able to influence minds."
Simon says, "To Lois. *drinks* Why do I feel so... good? Is this what vengeance tastes like?"
Quellynne says, "Not vengance, my friend. Justice."
Falk's voice (to Q) says, "Ah, yes, mind control's quite a tricky thing. We'll go gently on them."
GM says, "And so, unless you do anything else, the power of Diana (compelled by Lizzie, off-screen)"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "With eight minutes to spare!"
GM says, "will transport you to the former HQ of the League, where Falk awaits."
[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Woohoo!"
Falk says, "You've achieved wonders in just one day."
Bobby says, "Thanks! It feels like it's been weeks."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Ha"
Courtney asks, "So what happens now?"
Falk says, "What happened to this Figurehead chap? Is he this young man? *looks at Simon*"
Quellynne says, "No, this guy's a vigilante out for justice for his mindwiped girlfriend."
Falk says, "Ah! So where's the Figurehead?"
Bobby says, "The Figurehead's probably transported his brain into a fish already, somewhere out in the middle of the ocean."
Bobby says, "That's apparently one of his super powers."
Quellynne says, "He's a little high-strung, and definitely needs some, uh, mentoring."
Courtney says, "Looks like that ship was out near Crownsford."
Courtney says, "*island"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Did the moose head die suddenly, or something?"
Falk says, "Well, RONIN'll be on the lookout for strange fish."
[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "It died."
[peregaming] GM says, "No life support, see"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Ah well"
Quellynne says, "You'll get a lot of information out of Wodehouse, here. He was involved directly at the highest levels."
Falk says, "Ah, capital, capital."
[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "I expect him to show up like this some day: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/umbrellaacademy/images/b/be/Carmcihael_Dallas_comic.jpg"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Perfection."
[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "ha ha"
[peregaming] GM says, "I'm now going to allow you guys to do your own epilogues, in the same way that you did your flashbacks at the beginning."
[peregaming] GM asks, "How does that sound?"
[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can you give us a timeframe?"
[peregaming] GM says, "Let's say a month."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "In case we reprise our characters in this universe again."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "OK, I'll get back to you in a month."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Sounds good to me."
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(ba-dum tish)"
[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Q), "ha!"
[peregaming] GM asks, "Who first? Q?"
[peregaming] Quellynne says, "As we finish typing, how about ;-)"
[peregaming] GM says, "that also works"
Quellynne takes a much-needed vacation, hiking (well, running) in Hawaii, enjoying the mist and the surf. Eventually, she's able to sleep out under the stars again without feeling quite so heavy of a burden weighing on her from the Old Gods beyond the stars that once featured so heavily in her life. It'll still take some time, but she's feeling a lot more grounded these days.
[peregaming] Bobby says, "(Is that the whole epilogue, or should the rest of us wait for you to finish?)"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "um?"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "I'm ready to go whenever Q's finished."
Bobby is sitting at a little kitchen table in a modest San Frangeles apartment. He's talking to someone on his phone. "Hola, papa'! Si', I'm back home again." "No, no, I'm still wrestling, but I've got a gig here in town. I've made some friends here, and it's nice to be near you guys." "Sure, I'd love to come over for dinner on Saturday! I just need to--" *beep*. Bobby looks at the phone. Call waiting shows an incoming call from someone called "Falk". "Oh hey, I've got to run. But give my love to mama' -- I'll see you both soon!" Bobby switches to the other call. "Hey, Detective. What job do you have for me this time?" <fade out>#wadeg Did Q get disconnected?
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Argh, whoops."
[peregaming] GM says, "It's okay"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "I'll just go:"
(From Courtney) A tired looking scientist slides into a booth in some roadside diner. The woman across from him has waited impatiently. The man slides a pushes a small, wrapped package across the table. "Here, it's all here, the so called Watchmaker heart. do you have the moneyand the item I asked for?" The woman nods and points to a sword next to her in the booth. "Yes, we had great difficulty acquiring this from the owner." The waitresses shadow falls over them. "More coffee?" The scientist waves her away. "What, just some sword?" "No" says the waitress and both of them look up at her as she fades out of view. A disembodied voice says "It's a talking sword."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "!!!"
GM so...many...questions
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hee."
[peregaming] GM says, "except here"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Someone apparently wants the Watchmakers back in the story."
[peregaming] Courtney says, "here, have some plot hooks you might or might not use"
[peregaming] Courtney says (to bobby), "Just a Watchmaker related MacGuffin"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Ah, good."
[peregaming] GM asks, "maybe the Watchmaker's heart is a fake! but it turns out to be an alien artefact or something?"
[peregaming] GM says, "who knows..."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Anyway, this concludes this storyline!"
[peregaming] Bobby wonders if Simon, Diana, Aquarius, Wodehouse and/or Pryce gets an epilogue.
[peregaming] GM says, "If that's not an imposition on your time"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "I'm good. (Oh, right, lps was the one who had to leave at five. That would explain things.)"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Indeed!"
GM says, "POSTCREDITS SCENE:"
GM says, "Aquarius, also known as Mallory Myers, is in a special prison cell, reading a book."
GM says, "A CIA agent enters the cell."
GM asks, "It's... also Mallory Myers?"
CIA Mallory says, "What the f----?"
Myers says, "Let's say I was drifting between universes and gambled on this one being the one in which someone I liked very much was still alive. Let's also say that... I picked the wrong universe, and now the walls have closed in."
GM says, "[Music]"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Was Myers wearing a mask when he saw her in Diana's office?"
[peregaming] GM says, "She was wearing a helmet, which she took off"
[peregaming] GM says, "Q could have asked her about the situation but did not for obvious 'staying undercover' reasons"
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Isn't she a puddle?"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Or is this a third Mallory?"
[peregaming] GM says, "No, she was de-powered by a Soulmonger attack"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Oh, I guess I forgot about that."
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Man, Jack was right never to trust her!"
[peregaming] GM says, "remember when the RONIN base was attacked and that Soulmonger was erasing Aspects? He erased Mallory's and undid her transformation"
[peregaming] GM says, "So CIA MAllory is technically the same Mallory that was part of this universe from the beginning, just less annoying"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Of course (?) that's perfectly (??) clear (???)"
[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Aren't you glad for the existence of the Armistic of Aeons? It'll surely safeguard against confusion in the future"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims (at Courtney), "Our Mallory was 'cured' in a Soulmonger attack and re-joined the CIA. Meanwhile, Aquarius has secretly been a Mallory from another universe all along!"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Of course (????) that's perfectly (?????) clear (??????)"
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Anyway! This concludes this storyline!"
[peregaming] GM asks, "How was it?"
[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Pretty cool!"
[peregaming] GM says, "Yay"
[peregaming] GM says, "But not as cool as what's coming next week..."
[peregaming] Bobby says, "Ha ha."
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "...when the Crusaders return!"
[peregaming] Bobby says, "This was a good one."
[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Woo!"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "But now I've got homework to do before Saturday!"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Oh, do we have any milestones?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "Thanks! And you have made mudgame history by dealing 22 stress in a single FATE attack"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Yay!"
[peregaming] GM says, "This will be your standard end-of-arc attack, since by not leaving Wodehouse to melt in a volcano, you helped dismantle the League"
[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Attack?"
[peregaming] GM says, "Uh, not attack. I meant milestone"
[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Woo, more refresh!"
[peregaming] GM says, "So refreshing."
[peregaming] Courtney asks, "So the same thing we had in Crusaders?"
[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "yep"
[peregaming] Courtney says, "Woo! Not to forget that until we play again in a few months"
[peregaming] Bobby is adding 1 Refresh to his sheet now. He can decide whether to spend it or not later.
[peregaming] GM exclaims, "wise!"
