In The Eye of The Collector (Closed, started, seeking Co-GM)

[world_of_dragons]

Question, after seeming to think for a moment before handing the bag to John.

"Just be careful; getting more of this isn't easy." He said before turning to the rest of the group.

"I've noticed a pattern: The Collective tends to go right for the heart of the nations they attack; Washington D.C., London, Hong Kong, they attack the head of command and then take it for themselves. While this is much faster and more direct, it also gives them more to do. Having to consolidate their power and establish their power over the rest of the country. This will allow us a way in by simply going to the parts of the country they have yet to occupy and sneak in from there.

We might be able to gather support along the way. We'll start with the United States. Any move we make towards Yujiro will gain Superman's attention. But, I want to start in Gotham. While Batman might no longer be there, someone who can get into contact with him might."

As the doctors prepared to do their work, a lab rat that had gotten loose managed to find its way into the lab. A lab attendent screamed as she saw it and the lot of them began to chase it about, hoping to chase it out or catch it before it contaminated the room

Spoiler: OOC

To answer Punky, no if I did it would mess with a lot of stuff I've been working on. However, I will allow Eggman to be in the rp. How, you'll see

Spoiler: ooc

if you want to incorporate characters from his past that can fight with/against us (members his old team for example) PM me and I'll describe them to you. I would also suggest you get the other players do this as well.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

*scoffs and does air quotes* "'someone who can get into contact with him' by any chance are we going to get a name? being in the loop would be a lot of help here."

"Alrighty now, let's not argue for the sake of arguing. Right now, Dragon and the Question are the only people in this group I remotely trust, or like. I don't trust our friend over here." Drake said, pointing to the Russian. "But, I'm willing to put aside that distrust for the time being. I think we're all scared right now, even if we don't want to show it. We're all on edge. But we can NOT distrust the Question at moment. We'll be filled in. Don't worry about that." Drake looked over at the faceless man and nodded. "I have not helped the situation with my insults but that is NOT how we need to act if we are going to survive to save the world. Then we can all kill each other as heroes."

 

[The Clown]

"What? you don't trust me?" He said, smiling wryly as he sat back down with the kryptonite clutched close to him.

He sat, eyes closed, the glass orb enclosing the kryptonite in it's contaminate-free shell ready to be examined. He probed it for some time, managing to gleam what he could, it was strange, the individual atoms working together like clockwork, an ever-moving lump of radiation emitting rock. So very odd.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

"well last time i tried to face this force I lost... hard. If we're going to have any chance we need to train, I haven't been in a fight in a long time and I need to be better than I have ever been."

His face changes to a smile. "so who wants to fight me?"

 

[newfoundsky]

Drake was growing impatient. "I'm game." He said and promptly took out his side gun and shot at the ceiling. "You win." He told the tall elf, and holstered his gun. "Now, every, please, listen to the Question."

 

[world_of_dragons]

Question stood up and looked at the group.

"It's about time we get moving, we're wasting time just sitting around arguing amongst ourselves. We'll head to Gotham first and go from there."

Then he looked to John.

"Meanwhile, John, you should hold on to that.."

 

[PunkyMcGee]

"Dude" he snaps at Drake "I'm being serious. If we want to have any chance we need to be in top form. All I want is someone to fucking spar with."

He starts rubbing his temples and looks to the floor "I used to be one of the best swordsmen on the planet, but protecting my friends put me in a coma. When I quit the shadows, I haven't needed to fight. I just need to get back to my old self and even better beyond that."

 

[The Clown]

"Don't worry, it is in safe hands dear question, It seems I may need other materials other than just ordinary matter to reform more of this, any irradiated substances or things more hard to come by like uranium of florium would do the trick" he said, standing, the orbs morphing into flatter shapes as they slid into pockets.

Turning to the elf he crouched slightly, pulling rock up to form gauntlets. "You want to fucking spar? Ok, everyone else, meet us up top, we'll be there." He said, gaze fixed on the elf.

A tunnel peeled open in the ceiling, the floor beneath John lurched up and sent him rocketing up the tunnel. A few seconds later a second platform popped up from the ground and sat, hovering for it's passenger.

 

[world_of_dragons]

Dragon perked up after John made his tunnel.

"Hang on a second, there's no need to do this!" He said. "We got more important thing to do then some elaborate dick measuring contest!"

 

[PunkyMcGee]

"Fuck it, no one seems to get what I'm trying to say. Let's just go to Gotham I'm sure I'll pick it up on the way."

(((OoC: I wasn't trying to "start a fight" or argue i just wanted a way to see what combat in a post by post game would be like.)))

 

[newfoundsky]

OOC: We're all just trying to play our characters. You'll eventually spar I'm waiting till the time skip/flight/hike to Gotham for my next post

 

[PunkyMcGee]

(((OOC: ok i just thought it sounded like you guys thought i was some sort of meat head looking for a fight.)))

 

[SkullKing84]

"Bwa ha ha ha ha HA h-!" stopping mid laugh with a deadpan expression.

"How are we all going? I don't suppose you have a Geo cruiser or possibly hijacked a magic school bus?"

 

[world_of_dragons]

At the Necromancer's inquiry, Question stood up and led the group to another room.

"I do have this." He showed them a rather large room filled with various hi-tech equipment. In the middle of this room were six circles.

"This is the same teleporter we use on the Watchtower-and don't ask me how I got it-which I can use to beam you to any location you need to go and back here. I'll teleport you to Gotham... Though you'll have to go alone."

"Why's that?" Dragon asked.

"Simple; One. You'll need someone to operate the machine. 2. I have to stay here and manage this sanctuary." Question went to a draw and pulled out several ear-bud pieces and distributed them amongst the group. "In the meantime, I will keep contact with you through these." Then he went to the controls.

"Good luck gentlemen, you're going to need it."

After waiting for the group to stand in the teleporter, Question hit the coordinates for Gotham City and activated it. They experienced a flash of light and the sensation of being yanked by some invisible force. When the flash dissipated, they found themselves on a city street.

It didn't take long for them to notice the sound of gunfire and battle. But as they looked about, they saw the police fighting what looked like a band of looters, dressed in whatever they could fashion into body armor and carrying whatever firearms they could acquire in short order.

Every other building had been set ablaze. There was one building bearing graffiti that read "The world is doomed". Not a second later, two police officers approached the group, guns drawn.

"Freeze!" One shouted. "Hands on your head!"

 

[PunkyMcGee]

"brisket eating whore" puts his hands on the back of his neck and fidgets with something behind the tag in the collar of his shirt. "It's not hard to teleport us on a rooftop or something you know."

snap a smoke pellet, smoke covers the entire width of the street almost instantly. then runs to an alleyway

(((OoC: awaiting GM approval to see if this is too easy of a way out)))

 

[world_of_dragons]

((OOC: Let me see how the others react first. We've been missing a good few of our guys lately))

 

[PunkyMcGee]

(((OOC: pm them see if they still want to play or if they forgot or quit)))

 

[SkullKing84]

The necromancer lifted his stubby arms mumbling "We don't have time for this"

Dropping his arms and spouting some abyssal Cthulhuian swears. Purple arcane mists form from underneath the officers. Dozens of skeleton and putrid rotting zombie arms reaching for the living. One of the officers guns go off pinging the Necromancer in the head but the bullet ricochets into the sky.

"Bwa ha ha ha! I'm armored you fools and now that your detained for the moment. Please stand down before you join my legion of the damned."

The necromancer looks back to the group and shrugs. Willing to release the cops when they look more relaxed.
