[peregaming] Bert says, "Log on."

[peregaming] Jota says, "I still need to talk to Taleslinger before we start to figure out which of us needs to adjust their skills."

[peregaming] GM says (to Jota), "He's busy with pregame chores and IRL stuff"

[peregaming] GM says, "For this first session it shouldn't matter too much"

[peregaming] GM says, "since your best skills are different anyhow"

Roger has arrived.

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Maybe I should just assume that I -- y'know, the one who picked those skills months ago -- should be the one to change them..."

GM exclaims (at Roger), "Hey, I haven't calibrated the opposition for *five* players!"

Roger says, "I'm just a kibbitzer"

GM says (to Roger), "Then you shall be collateral damage: remember to mumble something about your wife and kids and mother in law when you get buried under rubble"

Bobby exclaims, "But it's his last day before retirement!"

[peregaming] lpsmith says, "Oh, that reminds me that I wanted to change Q's best skill to Stealth, and pick up Burglary too."

[peregaming] lpsmith says, "(also, hello! And Ellric is now technically awake, and I logged him in, and I'm going to get food.)"

[peregaming] Bobby asks (of Peregrine), "If I decide to reshuffle my skills after this session, to better synergize, are you OK with that?"

[peregaming] GM says (to lps), "So you'd only have a base Athletics of +2? Yay, nerf :D"

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "100% happy with that, since it's the first time you're playing this character"

[peregaming] GM says, "consider this a test drive"

Cuddlepaws has connected.

[peregaming] Bobby says, "OK, cool. Then for now, I'm shuffling my social skills to the top, and we'll see how that goes."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "(That should be reflected on my sheet online already.)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Yup!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Deceive is a good choice."

[peregaming] Courtney says (to bobby), "Hello, I'm here"

[peregaming] Bobby asks (of GM), "You wouldn't lie to me about that?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "let's talk skills"

Courtney disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

Courtney arrives from the east.

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims (at lpsmith), "Also, Happy Birthday!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Xavvy is Xazzy?"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "We presumably shouldn't both have Burglary and Stealth in +4/+3 slots."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I agree"

[peregaming] GM exclaims (at lpsmith), "happy birthday to you!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Is it a birthday? Happy one!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks (of Courtney), "It sounds like you've designed your current iteration largely around those two skills?"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "For he's a jolly good fellow / woman / tiefling!"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "Given that, I've shuffled mine around for now to put social skills higher instead."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "And we can see how that goes."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Aw, if that works for you, okay."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "You can be our Face (with a big moustache)"

[peregaming] GM says, "Considering how theatrical wrestling is, Deceive+Rapport makes sense for a luchador"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "It sounds like it would be harsher on you to change them, since your powers are based on them."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Whereas mine are Physique-based."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I honestly didn't expect you to have them so high"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to GM), "I use Deceive to make it seem like I'm only just barely winning when I could really be throwing my opponents out of the stadium."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "exactly!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Anyhow, that's sorted :) Everyone's here, I think?"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims (at Courtney), "Heh. His backstory was that he was a thief!"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I only noticed the Luchador part :-)"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are we still going with you being the one who accidentally turned on the particle accelerator?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "It's kind of ironic that I chose this build because my previous build was too close to another character"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "That was his first attempt at a non-criminal career after going straight. Superheroing is his second attempt."

Eben has arrived.

[peregaming] Courtney says (to bobby), "Works for me"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "It's cool; I think I can make a more social, less sneaky version work."

GM exclaims, "Alright!"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Courtney), "Cool. I'm assuming Bobby has forgiven you (since, change-of-life + superpowers), but it's up to you how Courtney feels at this point."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I'll assume slightly guilty (her sword is telling her she should feel guilty)"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Xavyy is so relaxed he doesn't even have all skills"

[peregaming] GM says, "He'll improvise"

[peregaming] GM says, "He's chill because I can't kill him"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Time to bury him alive for all eternity"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "So, anyway, everyone's here!"

[CCrusaders] Quellynne exclaims, "We are!"

[CCrusaders] Quellynne says, "Though we're not all on the same channel."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "zzhhoop."

GM says, "So, many months have passed since the 'Canadian incident' and the rise of RONIN."

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Should someone add X here?"

[peregaming] GM asks, "X?"

[peregaming] * Xazzy has joined the channel.

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Xavvy? I don't think he's on the channel."

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Timing!"

GM says, "All over the world, people have started mutating under the effect of eldritch energies leaking out from other dimensions."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(Also, #belated birthday thanks!)"

GM says, "Following the mysterious death of Parker Pryce Vandermund Pryce, his son Chad has taken over the company, and they have been establishing Clinical Facilities For Metapathological Disorders everywhere."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Real Chad, that guy"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Anyone want to take odds on whether he'll end up hanging by the end?"

GM says, "But now, let us zoom in onto one particular city... San Frangeles... down to a seemingly innocuous diner."

Inspector Falk says, "You may be wondering why I have gathered you here today. Well, wonder no more."

[peregaming] GM says, "And now, each of you can take turns to FLASHBACK"

[peregaming] GM says, "describing what brought you to this point"

[peregaming] GM says, "and how Falk found you."

[peregaming] GM says, "(Except Quellyne, who is with Falk.)"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Should I go first?"

Quellynne was eating breakfast when she got a text message to go see Falk.

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "No problem! Although Q was faster"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Sure"

(From Bobby) SETTING: Guanama, a luchador fighting stadium

Bobby -- known here as El Mazo -- is in the ring, bursting with muscles and wearing his traditional black and gold costume. There's a special cut-out in his mask to let his big, bushy, curling-up-at-the-ends mustache be seen through it.

Bobby picks up his opponent and, in one final flash move, throws him out of the ring into a conveniently empty set of folding chairs. The crowd goes wild!

(From Bobby) SETTING: Bobby's dressing room, after the match.

Bobby has taken off his mask, and he sees an envelope on the table. He picks it up and reads:

Bobby says, "'Your performance in the ring has come to our attention. We believe that you may have something special. If you've left your old life behind, then we may have a new, more honorable one for you.' (signed by Falk)"

[peregaming] GM says, "dun dun DUN"

Bobby sets it down and peers into the mirror pensively at his reflection.

Bobby says, "</FLASHBACK>"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Who next? Courtney? or Xavvy?"

Courtney says, "Falk's Office. Midnight. A file appears out of midair and lands on Falks desk. Then silence falls again. Then, Falks walks in, his 6th coffee of the day in hand."

Courtney says, " "You know, you keep delivering all this info about small time crooks and the like." he says to the empty room. "And I appreciate it. But if you really want to make a difference,"

Courtney says, "meet me tomorrow night at this seemingly innocuos diner.""

Courtney says, "A quiet voice answers out of the ether: 'That can be arranged.'"

[peregaming] GM says, "dun dun DUN"

Courtney says, "'Okay, great' says Falk. 'What do I call you?'"

Courtney says, "'They call me ... la bruja'"

Courtney says, "Trashcans clang in the alley below, cat meowing, sound of footsteps running away."

Courtney says, "Falk picks up the file. It's gonna be another long one."

[peregaming] GM says, "*music*"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "/FLASHBACK"

[peregaming] GM says, "Yay"

[peregaming] GM says, "Now for the final flashback"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Paste did not want to paste that"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Remind me to make Paste a villain"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby asks (of Courtney), "Was your MUD client trying to absorb the / before it got to the MUD?"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Maybe"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "I expect Xavvy's flashback to be that of an unreliable narrator high on drugs"

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "Heh"

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "(also, typing from the other side of the room)"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "or told by a cowboy in a bowling alley"

Xazzy was oversleeping at his commune one day and after waking up he realized that someone had stolen his journal of songs that he likes (he keeps a journal because he cannot remember all of the songs that he has found and liked for the last 100 years). So he turns his place upside-down almost literally looking for it, until he gets a letter from Falk saying that if he does him this one favor he can tell Xavvy who took it.

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Falk is like that black lady from Suicide Squad"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "hopefully not"

[peregaming] GM asks, "That's the end of the flashback, I guess?"

[peregaming] Xazzy says, "yes"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "excellent!"

Falk sips his coffee. 'This place is safe from any form of surveillance, so I can speak more freely. I'm putting together a team for an infiltration mission, a dangerous one.'

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "Whoops, I mispelled X's name; fixed now.)"

Courtney silently eats her pecan pie.

Bobby asks, "Where is this on the legality scale?"

Falk says, "Low enough that the fewer people know, the better."

Falk says, "So far it was only rumors, but we've got some concrete evidence that organized groups of supervillains are forming all over the world, under the mantle of a single person."

Falk says, "This mafia-like web of villainy is only known as... the League of Freaks."

Falk says, "We're certain that a division of the League of Freaks is operating right here in San Frangeles, though they appear to have technology that prevents us from finding their hideout."

Falk says, "You are all relatively unknown to the public, at least here. Including Quellynne here, who is from another universe entirely."

Quellynne says, "Or someone's new mutation."

Bobby asks, "And who's 'we'? What is this League of Freaks to you?"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "Well, she's a freak. A "super" freak. She's superrrr freeeekeeeeee"

Falk says, "I work in collaboration with RONIN, on an unofficial basis"

Quellynne says, "RONIN helped me get my universe un-eaten by a soulmonger."

Courtney asks, "And we would also be unofficial?"

Falk (to Courtney) says, "Precisely."

Xavvy asks, "Does that mean your universe got regurgitated an is now cosmic vomit?"

Quellynne says (to X), "Eww, no."

Falk says, "Please, not while I'm eating my donut"

Courtney looks down at her plate and pushes it away from her.

Bobby asks, "So what do you need from us? Are we just supposed to help you figure out where their HQ is? Or are we supposed to be the some new monster fighting squad?"

Falk says, "Anyhow, we need to find out who is running the League and what their intentions are, and the best way to do that is to infiltrate them and rise in their ranks."

Falk (to Bobby) says, "I'm afraid you will have to commit crimes, but be comforted in that you will also have the opportunity to reduce casualties from whatever the League is planning."

Falk says, "It's a delicate business, this."

Quellynne asks, "Is RONIN prepared to compensate our victims?"

Falk says, "Naturally."

Bobby asks, "If we're doing an undercover thing, do we get, what's it called, 'qualified immunity'? Like the cops do?"

Quellynne says, "So, no killing, but theft/destruction is OK."

Quellynne says, "Or oddly thwarted-at-the-last-second theft and destruction."

Falk nods to both Bobby and Q.

Falk says, "Any further questions?"

Courtney asks, "And will there be payment?"

Falk chuckles. 'Given the great danger you will all be in, it would be unfair not to give you all something for your troubles!'

Falk says, "This League isn't like the Funny-Man. They mean business."

Courtney shrugs and looks at Bobby, as if to wait for him to answer first.

Bobby says, "Alright. If we're going to be working for the good guys and helping to stop the bad guys, I'm up for it."

Xavvy says, "I don't mean to cast doubt on our new employer, but do I really look like enough of a villain to pull this off"

Courtney says, "I'm in."

Courtney asks (of xavvy), "Maybe be a psychotic drug dealer type person?"

Falk (to Xavvy) says, "They often recruit the vulnerable and mentally perturbed. No offense meant"

Falk says, "That makes them insidious, sadly"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "Part of me is imagining Xavvy a little bit like Klaus from Umbrella Academy."

Xavvy says, "No, that makes sense. I have met enough other immortals to know that that tracks"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "https://medias.spotern.com/spots/w640/339/339997-1592549580.jpg"

[Crows-Nest] (from Courtney) Xavvy says, "And beheaded them."

[Setting the zoned flag.]

Courtney looks up at "Immortals", buy says nothing.

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Haha"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "also, now I can't get that image out of my head"

Falk says, "So! Based on their recruitment method, the best strategy would appear to be for you all to come up with a spectacular crime, like say, a bank robbery where the local superheroes are forced to intervene."

Bobby asks, "Are these superheroes going to be in on it?"

Falk says, "Sadly it would be too risky to let the Constellation Crusaders in on the whole thing, as they are already quite wary of RONIN because of the bridge incident"

Falk says, "Ruger Bet is quite the stubborn fellow."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Crusaders? What a ridiculous name for a superhero team"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "The other option was 'Astrological Avengers'"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby exclaims, "Oh, hey, I remember those guys!"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Sounds just like somethinga virgo would come up with"

Courtney says, "Rob Bank, dodge local superheroes. Got it."

Bobby says, "And don't worry about making a mess, because RONIN will pay for it."

Xavvy says, "Look evil while doing it"

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "So the first thing we need to do is train some telekinetic monkeys..."

Falk smiles. 'Confounded supervillains. Too many comic books, I reckon...'

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "This time, I think we *are* the monkeys."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Sometimes you're the monkey, sometimes you're the banana"

Xavvy says, "This is going to be weird, I haven't worn black in like 60 years"

Falk says, "This place has been put out of phase dimensionally: I'm hazy on the details, but it basically means you should come back here if you need to relay information. Try not to overdo it, though, since it might blow your cover"

GM says, "(the diner)"

Bobby asks, "So we *want* this to get people's attention, right? So we don't want a proper heist, where we sneak in and out with the cash without anyone knowing?"

Courtney says, "I just hope this pie stays inside me."

Bobby asks, "We're aiming for more of a daring daylight robbery kind of situation?"

Falk (to Bobby) I'd say so. Although remember, you will have to be 100% convincing or the League will smell a rat

Courtney asks, "Maybe we give ourselves a villian team name, announce it during the robbery?"

Bobby asks, "Good idea, Bruja. Do you have anything in mind?"

Courtney says, "Hm."

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "The Mooks"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Sorry, it says here it's the moops"

Courtney says, "Something with either League or Squad in it might work."

Bobby asks, "Legion of Larceny?"

Bobby asks, "But are there really enough of us to be a legion?"

Xavvy says, "The (almost) Legion of Larceny tm"

Courtney asks, "Larceny Squad?"

Quellynne says, "The Light Legion of Larceny."

Courtney asks, "Or, since these heroes call themselves Crusaders, something something Sinners?"

Quellynne says, "The Leftover Legion of Light Larceny."

Falk says, "San Frangeles Sinners?"

Bobby says (to Q), "Hell's L's, for short."

Bobby asks, "Los Impios?"

Quellynne says, "We could be anti-capitalists."

Bobby says, "It's Spanish -- unholy."

Xavvy says, "But anti-capitalists are good"

Quellynne says, "Exactly! We could harness the sympathy of the people."

Courtney asks, "Anarchy Squad?"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "ANTIFA that's kind of catchy"

Quellynne says, "Only rob people who are insured."

Bobby says, "Sure."

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Are many people insured against superhero attacks?"

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Good question! For the moment, they're called 'metabiological incidents'"

Xavvy says, "In this country that should be a basic right"

Courtney says, "If we are socialists, we call ourselves Bernie Squad"

Bobby says, "I like the anarchy one. It's simple and doesn't make people try to think too hard about our motives."

[peregaming] GM says, "How do we settle this :D"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Anarchy Squad!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I think we should argue with each other about it during the robbery and the press can pick the worst one."

[peregaming] GM says, "yay"

[peregaming] GM says, "let's go with that"

Falk says, "You can improvise that later. What matters is that you organize yourselves and take action"

Bobby asks, "So what does everyone here bring to the table?"

Quellynne says, "I'm fast and have an otherworldly sense of style."

Courtney says, "I'm sneaky. I can turn invisible and walk through walls."

Bobby says, "I'm strong. And I don't get hurt easily. And I can change my body into things."

[peregaming] GM says, "Xazzy is stoned and zoned out"

[peregaming] GM says, "Sorry, I mean Zavvy"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Davvy!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Darn. Xavvy. Got it right finally"

Xavvy says, "Telekinesis and I heal fast, can't die as far as I know"

Bobby says, "That's handy."

Courtney says, "We know who gets the bomb belt"

Bobby says, "So if we're going for a bank, La Bruja can probably get into the vault."

Courtney says, "Yeah."

Bobby says, "And if she needs a distraction, I'm happy to break some stuff out in the lobby."

Courtney asks, "I think the idea was doing this loud anyway?"

Quellynne asks, "Can anyone here drive the getaway vehicle? Or do we escape into the sewers or something?"

Courtney says, "So you rob the cashiers and I check out the vault."

Courtney says, "I can drive, but not that well."

Xavvy says, "I can just carry you all, I even have pillows for everyone"

Bobby says, "Yeah, I can drive OK, but I'm no fancy stunt driver or anything."

Bobby says (to Xavvy), "That does sound like a pretty good spectacle."

Quellynne says (to X), "So we fly off into the sunset? That could be amusing."

Courtney says, "Yeah, that could work"

Bobby asks, "If we're going to be doing this out in the open, should everyone have costumes, so we look like we're together?"

Bobby says, "I've got my wrestling outfit; we could probably figure out something that matches that for everyone else, too."

Courtney says, "I have a catsuit."

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "FATE no longer has 'Arts' so we can't see who has that for the costume design ;-)"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Aww"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "Burglary should cover it"

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "If Q designs them, she's going to use Provoke."

Bobby asks, "Alright. What bank are we going to hit?"

Courtney asks, "What about 3rd National Egale Generic ?"

Quellynne asks, "Wasn't Mutual Chase in the news recently for backing an oil cartel?"

Courtney says (to Quellynne), "Oh yes. Even better."

Bobby says, "That seems like a good target, then."

Bobby asks, "Can anyone find out the layout, so we know where the vault is?"

Courtney says, "I can potentially sneak in."

Courtney says, "And figure out the layout.""

[peregaming] GM says, "Sounds like a Burglary Create Advantage! Where you can use your superpowers"

[peregaming] GM says, "for casing the joint, as the kids say"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "I want to case the joint indeed!"

Courtney rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 -1 0 +1 | Superb (5)

[peregaming] GM says, "I'm going to say Opposition +4 because it's a -- oh"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Advantage created!"

[peregaming] GM says, "RP as you wish"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Woo! I call it "BLUEPRINTS""

[peregaming] GM says, "Excellent"

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne | https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h88N6VTO6dtQ2RVzk1tqx4NdA5PNyShAjpXcoVjhU8M/edit#gid=454481499

Courtney says, "A customer walks into the bank and feels like someone bumped into him, but there is nobody there. A security guard open the EMPLOYEES ONLY door and doesn't notice it staying open for a second too long. The cameras see nothing."

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says, "(the 'Neighborhood' tab)"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Anything else, before we go to the actual crime?"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "The Desperfraudos"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says (to Quellynne), "Thanks"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Anarchy Squad assemble! If you like! Nobody can force you!"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says (to Q), "Yay."

[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims, "Thanks Q!"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney sings, "I am an anarchist, and I am an anti-christ"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I'm good to just dive in and start making a mess."

[peregaming] Quellynne studies the blueprints to see where the silent alarm buttons are.

Bobby says, "Oh, we should probably decide who's going to kick the whole thing off."

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "I think you've also got an anti-pope in the mix"

Bobby asks, "If I just start smashing things, is that a good signal?"

Courtney says, "Yes, I will take that as my cue to make for the vault."

Xavvy says, "I could incapacitate the civilians by pushing them all down"

Bobby asks (of Q), "How quickly do you think the guards can draw their guns?"

Quellynne exclaims, "I'll be ready when they do!"

Bobby exclaims, "OK, let's go!"

GM exclaims, "CUT TO NEXT SCENE: Mutual Chase!"

[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims, "Everyone, check your fate points!"

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Who doesn't like a good chase scene"

GM sets his current fate point total to 4.

Bobby sets his current fate point total to 3.

Quellynne sets their current fate point total to 2.

Xavvy says, "So our sneaky one sneaks in, does the sneaky things, the macho man bursts in, I take care of the civilians, while the rest of you get the vault open, and then we grab our money bags and run"

Courtney sets her current fate point total to 3.

[Crows-Nest] Quellynne says (to GM), "(Oh, remind me to ask you at the end of the session if I got XP from the *last* adventure.)"

[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims (at Q), "Noted!"

Quellynne says, "I'll distract-slash-disarm the guards."

Xavvy asks, "are we all ready?"

Bobby exclaims, "Ready!"

Courtney whispers, "Yes"

Courtney says, "And so is my sword"

Sword (whisper to courtney) says, "Yessss"

Quellynne says, "A sword? You're taking a sword to a bank robbery? Bold choice."

Courtney says (to Quellynne), "I take it everywhere."

Courtney says, "Don't worry, I'm not gonna kill everyone. Anyone. I meant anyone."

Quellynne says, "That's... that's good."

Quellynne exclaims, "OK, get in there and be sneaky!"

[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims, "Opposition +5!"

Quellynne also enters as a regular customer, and starts filling out a withdrawal slip.

Courtney enters as a regular customer, walks behind a pillar ... and nobody emerges.

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Given the circumstances, no need to roll"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Booby?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Uh, Freudian slip"

Bobby waits for everyone else to get into position. Then he walks in the front door completely non-sneakily, in full luchador gear, including mask.

Bobby asks, "HEY! IS THIS THE BANK THAT TOOK MY MA'S HOUSE AWAY?"

Bobby punches a pillar, dislodging chunks of plaster and leaving a dent.

Guard says, "I can't have you scaring folk, mister -- OH SHIT"

Bobby exclaims, "BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THAT!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "I'd like to Create Advantage with Physique using pure strength, to make a distraction for everyone else!"

Bobby exclaims (at Guard), "WELL I CAN'T HAVE YOU BEING A PENDEJO!"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Maybe we should roll init?"

Xavvy is behind him floating on a pillow and tries to push everyone down

Bobby throws the counter with spare deposit slips and pens over.

[peregaming] GM says, "A distraction would fall under Deceive, I feel, but using your superstrength reduces the difficulty from +4 to +3"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I was just waiting for the opposition."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Aw."

Bobby rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 +1 -1 -1 | Fair (2)

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Soon, soon"

[peregaming] GM says, "Once Bobby resolves this action and Xavvy is in place"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I have rolled, and apparently no one is distracted by the fact that I'd tearing the bank apart, alas."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "s/I'd/I'm/"

[peregaming] GM asks (of Bobby), "Maybe you succeed at a cost: they open fire right away and you get grazed?"

[peregaming] GM says, "It's not that they're not distracted, it's that they may also notice the other villains"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Bobby), "Sure, I'm good with them getting aa free attack on me."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Er, (to GM)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Bobby), "Perfect! Then you create a distraction, but the guards freak out and fire!"

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: 0 +1 -1 0 | Great (4)

Bobby rolls Mediocre (0) + 4dF: +1 -1 0 +1 | Average (1)

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "And fortunately, I have Armor:4!"

[peregaming] GM says, "On the bright side, they are distracted! And you can RP the bullets bouncing"

[Crows-Nest] (from GM) Bullet says, 'Hey, no Latinos allowed in this bar'

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "4 KILLED BY RIOCHETING BULLETS IN BANK ROBBERY"

Bobby lifts his arm to fend off the bullets! Ping! Pchow! None of them actually hit his arm, but they do bounce off the parts of his body that they do it.

Guard says, "Shit! A supervillain!"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "And now for INIT"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "And they get a boost against me, since they hit me (even though they didn't do any damage)."

Courtney clears the initiative.

Quellynne rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 -1 | Fair (2)

Courtney rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: -1 +1 -1 -1 | Mediocre (0)

[peregaming] Bobby says, "(Basically like if they'd tied.)"

Quellynne registers Quellynne at init 2.

Courtney registers Courtney at init 0.

Bobby rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: -1 0 0 0 | Average (1)

Bobby registers Bobby at init 2.

GM rolls Average (1) + 4dF: -1 +1 0 -1 | Mediocre (0)

GM registers Guards at init 0.

GM displays the initiative: Bobby/Quellynne(2) Courtney/Guards(0)

[Crows-Nest] GM asks, "Xavvy?"

Xavvy rolls Mediocre (0) + 4dF: -1 +1 0 +1 | Average (1)

[peregaming] GM says, "Also, to be clear, B and Q are in Bank Lobby zone, C is in Employees Only zone, and X is... I don't know where actually"

[peregaming] GM says, "if I've got this right"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "This sounds like it calls for... a map!"

Xavvy registers Xavvy at init 1.

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Enh. Maps? That's a big step."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "If there's a big step on the map, I want to know where it is."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hee."

[peregaming] GM says, "We should be fine for now, the layout is quite linear"

[peregaming] GM says, "Outside Bank --> Lobby-->Employees Only-->Safe"

[peregaming] Quellynne says (to Bobby), "If you're OK with it, I'll go next."

GM advances the initiative: BOBBY/QUELLYNNE(2) Xavvy(1) Courtney/Guards(0)

[peregaming] Bobby says, "If you'd rather -- I was just waiting for the GM to advance."

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Q), "But feel free; I don't mind holding."

Quellynne exclaims (at Bobby), "Hey, you're right! And this bank supported that evil oil cartel! They don't deserve this money!"

Quellynne zips up to the guards and tries to disarm one!

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I dunno if that'd be a create advantage or what."

[peregaming] GM says, "More like an opposed Fight roll"

Quellynne asks, "And the guards are shooting up a crowded lobby! What's up with that?"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Overcome? Works for me."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Overcome it is!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Assuming speed is helpful:"

Quellynne rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: +1 0 +1 +1 | Legendary (8)

GM rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: 0 +1 +1 0 | Great (4)

Guard says, "Gah!"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can I use Lots of Actions to split that up and disarm two of them instead of just one?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Sure!"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "I do that!"

Quellynne zips around and ends up with two guns!

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Do we know how many guards there are? (And are they acting as a single mob, or as separate individual NPC's?)"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "init bump to Bobby."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney exclaims (at Quellynne), "Time to jump sideways in slowmo!"

[peregaming] GM says, "There were two guards shooting at Bobby, so that's those one disposed of! (There are other guards, but they're in the back and on their way)"

[peregaming] GM says, "They're mobs in different zones"

Bobby throws desks and shoves pillars toward the guards in his zone -- not to trying to hurt them, but just to block their path with as much heavy debris as he can.

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(And oh, right, forgot that the new init system randomizes everyone ;-)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Creat Advantage with Physique!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Opposition +4, because there are people!"

Bobby rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: +1 -1 0 0 | Legendary (8)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Style!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "I'm creating the aspect Hemmed In with two free invokes!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Excellent"

Bobby advances the initiative: Bobby/Quellynne(2) XAVVY(1) Courtney/Guards(0)

Xavvy pushes the remaining armed guards down on the ground and all the civilians he can

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Create Advantage with Telekinesis!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Opposition +5: that's a lot of people"

Xavvy rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: +1 -1 0 +1 | Epic (7)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Aspect created!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Hostages Pinned Down?"

GM advances the initiative: Bobby/Quellynne(2) Xavvy(1) COURTNEY/GUARDS(0)

Xavvy says, "alright everyone just chill out, take this time to rest up. I have never been in a bank, but I imagine it is stressful."

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "Hee hee."

[Crows-Nest] GM claps

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "ha ha"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Me first="

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Also, thanks to Anonymous Leopard for updating the Aspects sheet"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "er, ?"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "That's probably be."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "leosmith"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "Me."

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Makes sense"

[peregaming] GM says, "Go ahead"

Courtney just tries to get through the Employees only door and towards the Vault as quickly as possible.

[Crows-Nest] Bobby asks (of Peregrine), "Oh, did I tell you that I tweaked the init counter?"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "I had heard rumours"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "Now when multiple people register for the same position, it puts them in a random order."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I guess this means just phasing through the door"

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Getting to the Vault door should be simple enough with part of your movement action; to enter the Vault and be able to open it, that's going to requires --yes, phasing :)"

[peregaming] GM says, "It's a thick door with sensors, so +6 opposition"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "oof, okay, here we go:"

[peregaming] GM says, "If you fail, you might get stuck, or trigger some security measure"

Courtney rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 -1 | Great (4)

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "You could probably tag Blueprints."

[peregaming] GM says, "I'd think so"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Sure, if you guys are okay with that"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby exclaims, "It's your aspect!"

[peregaming] GM says, "You know where the sensors are and can avoid phasing through them"

[peregaming] GM says, "since even the tiniest change in temperature could set them off"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Cool. his was an overcome, so minor cost, right?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "yep!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "do you have an idea, or should I?"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "How about I tore a sleeve of my catsuit, since I didn't phase quite rightly?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "(But I also want to hear your idea :D ="

[Crows-Nest] Courtney asks (of bobby), "Aspects are for the use of whoever needs them most. We are socalists, remember?"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Does that mean that there's a bit of fabric stuck in the door for the forensic team to find?"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby exclaims, "And you needed it!"

[peregaming] Courtney says (to bobby), "Since it's a minor cost, it's stuck "in" the door"

[peregaming] GM says, "My idea would be that your face is now a Picasso painting (features not where they should be), so you aren't very glamorous for the rest of the encounter"

[peregaming] GM says, "This will sort itself out gradually"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Works with my drawback! I like it"

[peregaming] GM says, "Alright then, RP"

[peregaming] GM says, "And then it'll be the guards' turn"

Courtney slips through the Employess only door no problem. Soon she stands before the imposing vault door. Slowly, carefully, she phases her body through it. But there are so many sensors inside and outside, the heast sensors, the movement trackers, and she needs to focus really hard on phasing through. She barely manages it, but when she emerges something ... something is just not quite right about her face.

One guard has been busy in the Employees' area calling a special number. 'Yes!' he says to a cashier cowering beneath a table, 'they're coming! The Constellation Crusaders on their way to save us!'

GM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

[peregaming] GM says, "And now, I need to roll something"

GM says, "There, done."

[peregaming] GM says, "You were afraid there for a moment"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Weren't you?"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "That it might be too easy? ;)"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I knew there was something in the stars"

GM exclaims, "There is a screeching sound from outside! And five people burst in: a man in a robot minotaur mech, two identical twins in matching spandex, a woman dressed like a lion, and a woman with a blindfold who coolly hops right onto the ceiling!"

GM advances the initiative: BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS/LIBRA(2) LEO/GEMINI/Xavvy(1) Courtney/Guards(0)

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "Disaster Squad"

Bobby exclaims, "Ooh, nice robot!"

Bobby tries to smash it!

[peregaming] GM asks, "Opposed Fight roll (where you use your stunt to fight with Physique)?"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "I am going to attack the minotaur mech, using my stunt that lets me replace Fight with Physique for attacks with brute strength!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Yup!"

Bobby rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: -1 -1 0 0 | Fantastic (6)

GM rolls Epic (7) + 4dF: 0 +1 +1 +1 | Legendary+2 (10)

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Whoa, dang. That's quite the mech."

TAURUS blocks every punch with its fists, which are ablaze with an energy field

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "Who brings fist to a mechfight?"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Someone whose fists are PURE ENERGY"

Bobby BAM! POW! BANG! SMACK! PUNCH! KONK? BIFF? WHAP...?

TAURUS says, "Yer basterd! Surrender now!"

Bobby says, "Hey, that's not fair."

Bobby displays the initiative: BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS/LIBRA(2) LEO/GEMINI/Xavvy(1) Courtney/Guards(0)

inky has arrived.

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "inky has arrived! the fight is over"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "none can withstand him"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Quellynne!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hmm. He's parrying with his energy fists. So if we could create some aspect on him to keep him from using them, then I might be able to get an attack through."

[Crows-Nest] inky says, "BAM POW"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "OK, I'm doing my Mass Provoke, so everyone in the Lobby gets a -4 to actions that are not 'attack Quellynne'."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Woo!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Maybe if he were facing the other way so I could attack him from behind, or if we could short out his fists somehow, or something."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "But you can still use your movement to change zones before your action, I think."

[peregaming] (from Courtney) Quellynne says, "Hey everyone! ur mom!"

[peregaming] GM says, "haha"

[peregaming] Courtney asks (of Quellynne), "Does that include fellow heroes, though?"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "It does!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(it's a CDE)"

[peregaming] GM says, "that's what makes it fun"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(And only applies to the Lobby)"

[peregaming] GM says, "fortunately"

[peregaming] GM says, "So Courtney is safe"

[peregaming] GM says, "in the safe"

Quellynne zooms around the lobby, throwing stuff in the air and shooting her stolen guns seeminly randomly, but actually perfectly timed to be really really irritating.

GM advances the initiative: Bobby/Quellynne/TAURUS/LIBRA(2) LEO/GEMINI/XAVVY(1) Courtney/Guards(0)

Quellynne exclaims, "THIS BANK IS AN EVIL CORPORATION THAT SUPPORTS OIL CARTELS THAT ARE IN CAHOOTS WITH THE MATTRESSES FRAUD GROUP! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!"

[Crows-Nest] Bobby says, "All-caps villain names might make the initiative confusing."

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Let me fix that right away"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Ah, yes, the random order"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Beautifully done"

Quellynne registers Guards at init 0.

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "We'll pretend Libra chose to do nothing as her first action"

[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Or actually, do her first before TAURUS"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "I've lost track -- have I taken my action this round yet?"

[peregaming] GM says, "You have"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "(Yes: I attacked and discovered energy fists.)"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "One reason I did the -4 thing was that the four of them were all next in the initiative, but I'd also be fine with this order."

[peregaming] GM says, "I'm playing them after you, and then next turn it'll be normal"

[peregaming] GM says, "Confusion settled"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Sounds good."

TAURUS (to Libra) says, "Arrr! Libby, do yer thing! Don't knock out all the poor hostages though!"

Libra says, "Don't use my secret identity! Gah! Fine, whatever"

Libra stands on the ceiling, looks down through her fake blindfold. 'This way up, villains.'

GM exclaims, "Everyone must roll a Physique +3 overcome to hold on to something, or else fall upwards!"

Bobby rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 +1 | Legendary (8)

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Except you get a +4 on it."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Since that action isn't 'attacking Quellynne'."

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "could I roll will for that using my TK powers"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "You mean a -4? Fair."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I still succeeded, though! Just not with style."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "No, *she* gets a -4."

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "You certainly don't look stylishing, clinging to TAURUS' head by one hand"

[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "This is a collateral damage effect"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, hmm."

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "So there's no roll?"

[peregaming] GM says, "I tweaked it so that you guys could actually hold on; the original version has you rolling to see how badly hurt you get"

[peregaming] GM says, "And yeah, no roll"

[peregaming] GM says, "Don't worry, though, your -4 will affect TAURUS and Gemini and Leo"

Bobby grabs a handful of cement foor with one hand, but the cement doesn't hold, and he's flying up with just a chunk of floor in his hand -- but in his flailing, he just barely manages to grab ahold of Taurus' helmet with his other hand.

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can I roll athletics to run up the wall and across the ceiling instead of trying not to fall?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Quellynne), "That makes sense!"

Quellynne zzzzzip!

Quellynne rolls Legendary+2 (+10) + 4dF: -1 +1 +1 0 | Legendary+3 (11)

[peregaming] GM says, "There's no way to fail that."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I guess not ;-)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Which is why I offer you a compel!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Since it's a CDE, do Taurus et al. have to roll as well?"

Xavvy rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 +1 0 0 | Fantastic (6)

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "And all the people."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Could it possibly happen that you start phasing through the ceiling, still under the effect of Libra's CDE!"

[peregaming] GM says, "And yes, I'll roll for them"

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 0 0 -1 | Fair (2)

GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 3.

GM exclaims, "Taurus invokes 'Stubborn Fellow' to hold on!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says (to GM), "I'd rather try to catch people as they fall, I think."

TAURUS says, "Damn, Libby!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Is that related to an Aspect of yours?"

GM displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, hmm. Probably 'Shadowed by Failure'."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Were you thinking of compelling that instead? That could work."

GM rolls Average (1) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 +1 | Good (3)

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Like, I take damage from trying to catch falling civilians?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Actually, the hostages are unaffected because 1) they succeeded on their roll 2) they're pinned by an TK force"

[peregaming] GM says, "So sadly nobody to rescue"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "These guys should call themselves the collateral Crusaders"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Oh yeah, I forgot that Xavvy pre-saved them before it even happened."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Heh."

[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "So you're not interested in falling through the ceiling, then falling back onto the rooftop, thus making you have to run back? You might get some media attention ;)"

[peregaming] GM asks, "invoking your drawback?"

[peregaming] GM says, "If you have a better idea, we'll go with that instead"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "I guess then everyone else has to try to attack me... through the ceiling?"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Out of residual annoyance?"

[peregaming] GM says, "They can still be angry at you, shaking their fists at the ceiling"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Or to run outside and shoot you?"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "If you'll be on the rooftop."

[peregaming] GM says, "Out of sight, but not out of mind -- or that too"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "OK, sure, why not."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "See, you're drawing them out!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "RP your unexpected phasing!"

[peregaming] Courtney asks (of Quellynne), "How long does that CDE last, anyway?"

Quellynne phases through the ceiling and starts falling into the sky, before the effect disappears and she falls back to the rooftop!

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "I guess 'until my next action'?"

Libra says, "Hah! One of them escaped! We'll get her!"

Quellynne yells, "Ha! Bet you can't get me out here!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Q's sheet says '-4 to their next action'."

The Constellation Crusaders shake angry fists!

[peregaming] Bobby says, "So I guess the duration is per-person."

GM displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Now it's TAURUS' turn, with a -4!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(also, I was thinking you could change zones to get away from the effect, but that's not what the description says, I guess.)"

GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 +1 +1 +1 | Superb (5)

[peregaming] Bobby asks (of GM), "Hmm. Does a defend action count as an action for Q's CDE?"

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "it does, I guess"

[peregaming] GM says, "since a counterattack is a defense"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "In that case, I'm no longer under the effect of it, since I took my -4 trying not to fall on the ceiling. Yay!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Whee!"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "And I guess Libra is still under its effect? Since she didn't roll anything yet?"

[peregaming] GM says, "yep"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Maybe I should have thought through this CDE more ;-)"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Bobby?"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "At any rate: Taurus!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Me?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Taurus rolled a 5 to attack you"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Oh! I thought he was trying not to fall!"

Bobby rolls Mediocre (0) + 4dF: +1 0 +1 0 | Fair (2)

[peregaming] GM says, "He has magnetic boots"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "He hits and does no stress but gets a boost instead!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Can I use the boost the guards got against you"

[peregaming] GM says, "to make it actually hurt"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims (at Quellynne), "You're good at thinking fast, not good!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "I dunno, can you?"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I'd defer to the GM :)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "I can and I will! So that was a 7 against your 2!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "1 stress!"

Bobby exclaims, "Oof! Hey, wow. That actually hurt a bit!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Ticking my 1 stress box!"

[peregaming] GM says, "good, good"

TAURUS says, "That be the sting of yer iniquity, fiend!"

TAURUS says, "Who the hell are yer, anyhoo!"

Bobby exclaims, "I think... the Anarchy Squad, was it? Or Los Impios? Or... you know, I'm not really sure!"

Leo opens her mouth and ROARS! It's like a blast of sonic energy! And it's heading towards Bobby!

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 -1 +1 +1 | Great (4)

Bobby rolls Mediocre (0) + 4dF: 0 +1 -1 +1 | Average (1)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "That's including the -4; that's normally +8!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "You take 3 shifts of damage!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Do you tag anything?"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "I have Armor:4!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Aha."

Leo says, "Why isn't this working?"

Bobby is slightly fazed by the blast, but not physically harmed.

Leo says, "Where the hell is Aquarius, anyway?"

GM advances the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Taurus(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) GUARDS/COURTNEY(0)

Courtney backs up the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Taurus(2) LEO/XAVVY/GEMINI(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] GM says, "Sorry, it's been long"

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "thanks"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "No worries *fingerguns*"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Xavvy, do you want a compel?"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "For what?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Because I could compel your aspect 'High All The Time' to suggest that you do something silly that hinders your allies!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Bearing in mind that excess fate points carry over to the next session"

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "I would do a thing that hinders myself"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Very well then!"

GM gives a fate point to Xavvy.

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Describe and narrate!"

[peregaming] GM says, "(I assume lps hears the sound of typing)"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I hear the sound of 'Man, i don't know.""

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Do you have any ideas?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "oh no!"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "man? He doesn't call you "sir"?"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Hot boxes us all?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "What kind of ship are you running over there"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Attacks the pink elephants that only he can see?"

Xavvy Will try to throw Torus around, but no pay attention and accidently bring him right next to me at the end of my attack

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Shouts to Courtney to hurry up, thus alerting them all to her presence?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Ahem"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I want to, once again, remind everyone that things that are bad for you should be bad for YOU not MY CHARACTER"

[peregaming] GM says, "haha"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "We've talked about this before"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Hee."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "That is true."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "More than once"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Maybe an attack that also gives Taurus a taggable aspect at the end of it?"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Like 'Pinned Under Taurus'?"

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "that works"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Excellent!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "It sounded like 'next to' not 'under'."

[peregaming] GM says (to Quellyne), "It's funnier"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Heh, OK."

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Was that X's action, then? And did he get the -4 to it?"

Xavvy says, "GAH, I forgot how heavy thing can be when you lift them with your hands."

TAURUS says, "Unhand me, yer villain!"

GM displays the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Taurus(2) LEO/XAVVY/GEMINI(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "I am guessing that hurt Torus"

The Gemini spring to action! One feints while the other attacks!

[peregaming] GM says, "Indeed it did"

[peregaming] GM says, "not a lot, but it did"

GM rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: +1 +1 +1 +1 | Legendary+1 (9)

[peregaming] GM asks, "Bobby, can you defend against this create advantage with Fight?"

[peregaming] GM says, "ie provide active opposition"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "What advantage are they trying to create?"

[peregaming] GM says, "They're basically feinting and creating an opening for the other twin to exploit"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "And does my stunt to use physique in place of Fight apply, or do I need actual Fight?"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "(man, they got a +5 with the -4? Wow.)"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "And if I can't use Phyisque, is there any chance of using Notice to spot the feint?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Oh wait, thanks Q for reminding me. That's not a +5, it's a +1. Still 5 overall"

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "Notice works"

Bobby rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 0 | Average (1)

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Oh well! They feinted with style anyway!"

Bobby turns to defend himself against the wrong twin!

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Now for the actual attack!"

GM rolls Average (1) + 4dF: 0 -1 -1 +1 | Mediocre (0)

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are you using both tags?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Tagging the 2 free invokes from the Create Advantage 'Feint', that's 4 overall"

Bobby rolls Mediocre (0) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 -1 | Mediocre (0)

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "That's a hit that creates a boost without doing damage!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "BTW, can you use a special effect on a Create Advantage with a superpower?"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Sure, but you forego the usual benefit."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "(I.e., you'd be giving up the extra free invoke.)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Okay, then! They forgo the damage (they weren't going to hurt you anyway) but since it's still a success, the kick sends you flying through the lobby doors and into the street! Forced Movement!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "RP as you wish!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Woo! How many zones did I get moved?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Just the one"

Bobby, already in unstable gravity, is sent flying! He crashes through the big plate glass window in front of the bank and lands in the street in a small crater in the pavement.

Journalist says, "It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood -- oh, wow! An actual supervillain! *snapshot*"

Courtney . o O ( It's so quiet out there. I'm so glad everything's going great. )

Bobby gives the photography a cheeky grin as they snap the photo.

GM displays the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Taurus(2) LEO/XAVVY/GEMINI(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

GM advances the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Taurus(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) GUARDS/COURTNEY(0)

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "So me, or the Guards?"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are the guards (and the barricade they were trapped behind) all on the ceiling now?"

[peregaming] GM says, "I'm going to say yes, because I like that mental image."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I think they were all still pinned down by X's telekinesis."

[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "That was a different zone"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I think it was just the innocent bystanders who were pinned down by X."

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "I pinned everyone"

[peregaming] Bobby nods.

[peregaming] GM says, "The guards in the adjacent zone weren't pinned, though"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "I'm not sure we've even seen them yet, have we?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Correct"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "So Libra's CDE was a multi-zone thing?"

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "I have a range of three zones, so I was able to pin everybody"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "And is it Courtney's turn or the guards' turn?"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Courtney's turn!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims (at Xavvy), "excellent, then those guards are also pinned!"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "So I'm in the nice and quiet vault, right? Are there sackfuls of money?"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "with a big $ logo on them?"

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Loads"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "And can the vault door be easily opened from the inside or would I have to phase through again?"

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "The former (they don't want employees to actually get stuck and suffocate)"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Those fools."

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "great! I grab two bags of money, strap them to my back, and run back to the lob- what the hell has happened here?"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "And I guess that's my turn? Does grabbing sacks of money count as an action?"

[peregaming] GM says, "It technically does, I guess, but at least now you back in the heart of things"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Yes!"

[peregaming] GM says, "RP at will"

[peregaming] GM says, "then init adv"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Still invisible? And are the sacks invisible or visible?"

[peregaming] GM says, "I think the sacks are visible"

[peregaming] GM says, "Which is hilarious"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "The Sack-Grabber Gang"

Courtney grabs two bags of money and expertly slings them onto her back. She opens the valve emergency unlock and sprints out of the employee section, stopping in the doorway to survey the carnage there.

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Clearly it's Xavvy who's stealing the money using telekinesis!"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Nope, everything I carry is invisbible, too."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "Invisbible, my Christian Rock band"

Courtney advances the initiative: END OF ROUND

Courtney advances the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "nice"

[peregaming] GM says, "You need a specific stunt for that, Sharable Invisibility"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Is it my turn, or did Libra steal my init position?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Libra stole it"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "You could offer a Compel for it"

[peregaming] Courtney | You can completely fade from view, including your clothes and anything youre carrying. Cameras and similar devices cannot detect you at all, and you gain +2 to Stealth against being seen by living targets.

[peregaming] GM says, "Ah! Okay"

[peregaming] GM says, "I misread, oops"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I has to look it up, too :D"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "It *might* make a good compel, though..."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "If there's a relevant aspect."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Ah, the shareable thing is for larger things you can touch."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "E.g., if you are too drunk on power to control your power appropriately."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Yeah, maybe"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Anyway; Libra."

Libra attempts to jump off the ceiling onto a wall and then use that momentum to KICK XAVVY IN THE HEAD! 'Release the hostages!'

GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 0 0 -1 | Average (1)

[peregaming] GM asks, "How does Xavvy defend, given that he's pinned under Taurus?"

[peregaming] GM asks, "TK shield?"

[peregaming] Xavvy says, "yeah"

Xavvy rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 0 +1 0 | Great (4)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Libra tags 'Pinned Under Taurus'!"

GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 2.

[peregaming] GM says, "for a reroll"

GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 +1 | Good (3)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Xavvy prevails!"

Libra says, "Gah! This isn't my day! Where the hell is that lazy Aquarius?"

Libra says, "I should have read my horoscope..."

[peregaming] GM asks (of Xavvy), "RP?"

GM displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

Bobby realizes that we can't escape as long as Xavvy is pinned, so he dives into the bank and full-body tackles Taurus, in order to free Xavvy!

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I want to overcome the pinned aspect! (Hopefully using brute strength?)"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Yes!"

Bobby rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: -1 0 -1 +1 | Epic (7)

[peregaming] GM says, "That'll be opposed by Taurus's physique"

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 +1 -1 -1 | Great (4)

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Does he tag anything?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Let me see..."

[peregaming] GM says, "Confused By Twin Attack"

[peregaming] GM says, "wait"

[peregaming] GM says, "that's been used already"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Whoops, sorry, yeah."

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "No, that was the boost."

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Do I succeed with style, then?"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, it was cancelled for the forced movement."

GM gives a fate point to GM.

[peregaming] Bobby raises a skeptical eyebrow.

[peregaming] GM says, "I forgot there was a free tag on the Pinned Under Taurus I used earlier"

[peregaming] GM says, "for Libra's attack reroll"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "That's the thing he's trying to cancel."

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Q), "I think he's saying he used the free invoke from that aspect earlier, but forgot at the time that it was free."

[peregaming] GM says, "Yep"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Oh, got it."

[peregaming] GM says, "All good"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "So do I succeed with style?"

[peregaming] GM says, "You do, actually"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Then I'm using my Inflict Condition special effect!"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Not Forced Movement?"

[peregaming] GM says, "That would be funnier :D"

Bobby rolls across the floor with Taurus, smashing into the opposite wall, bull-head first. Taurus is now Embedded In The Wall!

[peregaming] GM says, "Okay, that is much better"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Approved!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Thank you!"

Bobby displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

Taurus says, "Grrrr!"

[peregaming] GM says, "It's Q's turn"

[peregaming] GM says, "She's on the roof, and she'll have to go two zones to get back"

[Crows-Nest] inky says, "I think this is where you say "sorry to horn in here""

[peregaming] GM says, "Roof-->Outside-->Lobby"

[peregaming] GM says, "Fortunately, she is speedu"

[peregaming] GM says, "speedy"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Yeah, but I'm not sure what I can do here to actually move more than one zone. The lots of actions thing?"

[peregaming] GM says, "That would make sense"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "You can use an Overcome action to move a second zone."

[peregaming] GM says, "Or that"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Okay, I'll make it an Athletics Overcome!"

[peregaming] GM says, "But before you do so..."

GM exclaims (at Quellynne), "From the roofstop, you spot a stranger silhouette arriving on a motorbike!"

GM exclaims, "It's a person in a firefighter helmet with lots of hoses coming out of their back, like an octopus!"

Aquarius says, "Yo. I'm here."

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "It's the dawning of the age of something something"

GM registers Aquarius at init 2.

Quellynne zooms over as the motorbike is still driving and attempts to jam a wheel with a hose!

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can I do an Overcome to get to her before she arrives, perhaps?"

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "I hope these guys are led by a depressed insecure dwarf named Pluto"

[peregaming] GM says, "Sure! But that means a higher difficulty because you're also going back inside"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "No, this is instead of going back inside."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Okay then!"

[peregaming] GM says, "I'm setting this TN to +7"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Sounds good."

[peregaming] GM says, "because Aquarius spotted you from afar"

Quellynne rolls Legendary+2 (+10) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 0 | Legendary+3 (11)

[peregaming] GM says, "Aquarius is definitely flying off the motorbike in spectacular fashion"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Narrate your success!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I wonder how the rest of us are going to know when Courtney's done and it's time to leave."

[peregaming] GM says, "Good question."

[peregaming] GM says, "Courtney will probably shout or something"

Quellynne spots Aquarius arriving, and leaps off the building towards her! The two of them meet at full speed in the middle of the street, and at the last second, Quellynne grabs a stray fireman hose and loops it around the front wheel, stopping it suddenly, sending the back of the motorcycle up, and Aquarius Flying Towards The Bank!

Aquarius says, "Oof."

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Which I think I'll set up as a 2x create advantage? Will that work?"

Aquarius says, "That was a chilly reception."

[peregaming] GM says, "It was an Overcome, I thought"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Unless you're using extra actions?"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I'm definitely using extra actions if I can ;-)"

[peregaming] GM says, "(Sorry for being confused by your awesomeness!)"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Heh, no problem. I often will think "I should do X!" and then have no idea what kind of action X is."

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "So, splitting the action into a few actions to add a 'Smashed' aspect to A? Will that work?"

[peregaming] GM says, "That would work! So the first action is an Overcome +7 and the other is a Create Advantage opposed by their athletics"

GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 0 | Fair (2)

[peregaming] GM says, "So opposition +2 for that second action. I think you can share things out easily"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Yeah: +1 to each action leaves 7+1 to the Overcome, and 4+1 for the Create Advantage, which is success with style."

[peregaming] GM says, "So you have 2 invokes on 'Smashed!'"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Aquarius is quite shaken!"

Quellynne displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/AQUARIUS/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "And now Aquarius has a chance to respond!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Indeed!"

Aquarius says, "That... damaged my collateral damage retention systems... a bit..."

Aquarius says, "But... as a superheroine... my resolve... must not falter in the face of evil!"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "We're not evil! Just misguided!"

Quellynne exclaims, "If you're looking for evil, it's the bank right behind you! Power to the People!"

GM fires a jet of water from one of the damaged hosepipes. Simultaneously, you feel a powerful aura of frost ripple out from Aquarius!

GM rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 -1 -1 -1 | Fair (2)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Fate point! 'Unbrekable Resolve'!"

GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 2.

GM rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 -1 +1 +1 | Epic (7)

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Can I defend with Athletics? using speed?"

GM says (to Quellynne), "You are caught by the water freezing around you! It'll take you an overcome of Physique +7 to break out! (unless you have a plan)"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "I mean, normally I'd try to run away and not get caught."

GM says, "You also notice a few journalist freeze over as well"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Is this another CDE?"

Journalist says, "(scribbling) Aquarius' performance...left me... cold..."

[peregaming] Bobby says (to Quellynne), "I'm assuming this is https://fate-srd.com/venture-city/slowing"

[peregaming] GM says, "yep"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "'Select a target up to one zone away and make a roll using Shoot. That target cannot move to another zone until you release them or they overcome an obstacle with opposition equal to your roll.'"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "'If you are encasing your target in a barrier, such as a mound of ice, they use Physique.'"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "You could always reduce that by tagging Smashed!"

[peregaming] Quellynne says, "Ah, true."

[peregaming] GM says, "So tagging both invokes would make it only a Physique +3 overcome for you to succeed at"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Though this says I just can't move to another zone, not that I can't move at all?"

[peregaming] GM says, "True"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "Or is this the Stop?"

[peregaming] GM says, "If it's the stop, then at -2, your overcome is only +1 Physique, including the Smashed tags"

[peregaming] GM says, "Which is doable for your character"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Roll Physique!"

[peregaming] Quellynne asks, "True! Is it indeed stop or just slow?"

[peregaming] GM says, "Stop"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "OK, then!"

Quellynne rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: -1 -1 0 0 | Mediocre (0)

[peregaming] GM says, "Haha"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Do you invoke anything?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Someone skipped leg day"

[peregaming] GM asks, "Like, maybe you're Prepared For The Worst?"

[peregaming] GM says, "or something like that"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "I'll spend a fp on speedster!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "okay!"

Quellynne sees the spray of frozen water coming at her! She barely dodges out of the way, aided by the fact that the jets are pretty wobbly from Aquarius's crash.

Quellynne spends a fate point, leaving them with 1.

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Woo!"

[peregaming] GM says, "And don't worry, we're near the cliffhanger"

[peregaming] GM says, "(if you wanted to finish around this time)"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Oh no, there's a cliff!"

GM displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/AQUARIUS/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] Courtney says, "It's just behind that big step"

[peregaming] GM says, "Taurus is unable to attack until he overcome Embedded, right"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "That seems logical."

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 0 +1 0 | Great (4)

Taurus spends ages trying to free himself! 'hhhhhnghh!'

Leo says, "Well, that's not good."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I suppose if the others wanted to give up their actions, the rest of them could use Teamwork to see if they could pull him free."

Leo turns her head, sees Quellynne right outside!

[peregaming] GM says, "I was implying it took him a whole turn to free himself"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Oh, he succeeded?"

GM rolls Legendary+2 (+10) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 0 | Legendary+1 (9)

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I misinterpreted 'Well, that's not good.'"

[peregaming] GM says, "She was commenting on the general situation, haha"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "He probably needs horn surgery"

GM exclaims (at Quellynne), "Give me a dodge!"

Quellynne rolls Legendary+2 (+10) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 +1 | Legendary+4 (12)

Quellynne zips sideways, the sonic blast shattering ice behind her!

Leo says, "Blast!"

GM displays the initiative: LIBRA/BOBBY/QUELLYNNE/AQUARIUS/TAURUS(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

GM advances the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Aquarius/Taurus(2) LEO/XAVVY/GEMINI(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "It's Xavvy's turn!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "And he's free to act!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Or you can hold your action until Courtney goes"

[peregaming] GM asks, "since she's going to be giving everyone a signal or whatnot?"

[peregaming] Courtney asks, "but is he that genre-xavvy?"

[peregaming] GM says, "hah"

Xavvy will push Gemini out of the building and into the sky and do whatever the floating equivalent of sprinting is is out of here to escape

Xavvy rolls Legendary (8) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 0 | Epic (7)

GM rolls Great (4) + 4dF: 0 0 0 0 | Great (4)

Both the Gemini scream as they are tossed outside!

GM displays the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Aquarius/Taurus(2) LEO/XAVVY/GEMINI(1) Guards/Courtney(0)

They are knocked out in the debris of the car they crashed into!

GM advances the initiative: Libra/Bobby/Quellynne/Aquarius/Taurus(2) Leo/Xavvy/Gemini(1) GUARDS/COURTNEY(0)

Guards says, "Holy shit!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "And now it's Courtney's turn!"

Courtney runs towards the door, and just before stepping outside yells (still invisible) : "ANARCHY SQUAD FOREVER!"

Bobby perks up at the sound of that.

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "And then I want to attack Auqarius with my sword!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Yay!"

[peregaming] GM says, "Roll it"

Quellynne . o O ( I'm sure the journalists are going to mishear that, and make us the Anarchy Group, ltd. )

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Am I the only one still inside now?"

Courtney rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 0 | Great (4)

[peregaming] GM says, "Pretty much"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Attack with fight!"

GM rolls Fair (2) + 4dF: +1 +1 -1 +1 | Great (4)

[peregaming] GM asks, "Oh no! Spend a fate point?"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Boost: I call it : "leaky hose!""

[peregaming] Courtney says, "I sliced open of them."

Aquarius says, "Ah. Dammit, I have water in my eyes now. Stupid invisivillain."

GM says, "And, as Bobby rushes out to join the rest of the Squad..."

GM says, "(is that a safe assumption, btw?)"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "It is!"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "Bobby loves a good cliffhanger as much as the rest of us!"

GM says, "... the sound of helicopters makes itself heard. Looks like you guys are surrounded..."

GM says, "... but then a bystander steps out from the crowd with a curiously vacant look..."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "It's because of all those telenovelas ma used to watch when I was a kid."

Bystander (holding out smartphone) says, "Here. It's for you."

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Which one of us?"

Quellynne grabs the phone.

The bystander drops down dead, electrocuted!

Quellynne exclaims, "Ack!"

Quellynne yells into the phone "Hey!"

Phone says, "Very good job. No need to shout! Just stay still and I'll get you to the base in no time at all."

Quellynne asks, "You can't stick it to the man and kill the people at the same time? What kind of nonsense is that?"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "Are we climbing onto Xavvy's pillows like we planned?"

GM exclaims, "Huge hands made of crackling electricity rises from the phone, and grab each and every one of you, even the invisible Courtney!"

Courtney whispers to Quellynne "Don't overplay that angle! We want to join them, remember?"

GM asks, "You feel yourselves pulled deeper into another dimension... a dimension of... raw data?"

Quellynne says, "OK, the TRON thing is indeed cool."

[Crows-Nest] Courtney says, "The enemy is ... Jason Scott"

Bobby says, "Ay."

[Crows-Nest] Roger says, "nooOOOOoooo"

Quellynne says, "I hope whoever-it-is didn't write a bunch of tank programs."

GM says, "The phone clatters to the ground. You guys are gone."

GM exclaims, "dun dun DUN!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "And that wraps the session!"

[peregaming] Quellynne exclaims, "woo!"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims, "I'm just lines on a computer screen? Unbelievable!"

[peregaming] Courtney exclaims (at gm), "Woohoo! Interesting twist!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "I guess we were convincing."

[peregaming] GM says (to Courtney), "Thanks :)"

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "You kicked a lot of butt"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "Either that, or they know we were faking and have just caught us!"

[peregaming] Bobby says (to GM), "Bull."

[peregaming] GM says, "oooOOOoooOO"

[peregaming] GM says (to Bobby), "hah"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "It's been a while since I last GM'd, I hope it was alright!"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims, "It was! Thank you!"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "*I* really robbed a bank, no idea what you were doing"

[peregaming] Bobby exclaims (at Courtney), "Making a distraction!"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "A very successful one. No one got to attack Courtney!"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Yay."

[peregaming] GM says (to Quellynne), "I was a little clumsy in handling how much more powerful you were than the other PCs, perhaps"

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "But I'm glad everyone enjoyed it!"

[peregaming] GM says, "(I mean, I hope so...)"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "Yeah, 'twas fun."

[peregaming] GM exclaims, "Next session: schemes and paranoia!"

[peregaming] Bobby asks, "The schedule has December on it now; do think think this'll likely extend into then?"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "If weo, we should all update our availability there..."

[peregaming] GM says, "It'll probably spill over into December"

[peregaming] GM says, "Depending on how it goes"

[peregaming] GM says, "and how people feel"

[peregaming] Courtney says, "December is usually pretty stressful at work, but it's not like there are many other distractions at the moment"

[peregaming] GM says, "True"

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Also, I see that Q and Bobby have two opposite approaches to being attacked in combat."

[peregaming] Bobby says, "Q: cannot be hit. Bobby: could not care less if he gets hit."

[peregaming] Courtney says, "C: is never attacked. X: just dies and doesn't care."

[Crows-Nest] Matthew says, "They need to source from a better drive manufacturer."

[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims (at Matthew), "That is the kibbitz of the day, congrats!"
