"Huh, guess she had something to do. Anyways, is this a family friendly establishment, or do you charge by the hour?"

Fam...? Family! Yes! Nightly rate's $50 for what we've got left. Hey, I dig the costumes. I miss an "ugly supers" contest or something?
Jul 8, 2022 3:40 am
Brigid takes a moment to make a small dig back at the night attendant.
"I like the whole look you have going on too. Suits the place. We'll take two rooms, please."

Tentacular was about to rebut to call out who he really thought was ugly, but didn't want to piss off the attendant just yet. "You could join too!" was all he permitted himself to let out.
Jul 8, 2022 12:06 pm
The attendant's face flashes red and he quickly processes your request. Each room has a full bed and satin sheets. Well, maybe a polyester blend. But still. You're finally buffered from some of the blasting music.

Brigid shrugs nonchalantly as she dismounts her power suit.
"Ehh, we got the rooms, he gets to continue his stream. I'm going to work on my suit a bit, so you can go ahead and sleep first."
That said, Brigid takes out a toolbox from the power suit, and begins doing some basic maintenance on it. When she's done, she'll try and hide the hard drive under one of the panels. If someone tried to get to it, they'd have to deal with her first.

OOC:
How do we get to heal the damage done during the fight?Jul 9, 2022 8:26 pm
OOC:
Go ahead and update your characters to milestone 1! Health should now be your Power die (4 or 6) plus your Brute Force score. You "heal" the Brute value automatically as part of the milestone since you're not in the middle of something. To heal the rest, you get back 1 point per milestone, per 8 hours of rest. That means by the time you need to go back to Gennison's, you'll heal 2 without any checks (since he wants you there at the top of a "shift"). Heal checks of course can speed this up.
At Milestone 1, here are your options. Pick 1.
Resist
Every Milestone, you may choose to take one point of Resist, up to 5 (unless the GM approves a special circumstance). This means you will ignore the first point(s) of damage you are dealt in any given attack.
Mental Shift
At any Milestone, instead of Resist, you may change your actual score in one scale, provided it makes sense in the story. "Follow Your Heart" and "An Act of Desperation" can help determine this, but these are not required.
A score can never be changed to the extreme of a given scale.

"Neither do I, but let's sleep on that first and talk about it after. Over some bacon and eggs preferably. Still, be on our guard, in case anyone wants to try anything funny. Two rooms ay? Who's bunking in with me? If so, don't trip over these when you go to the bathroom. They tend to entangle themselves all over the floor when I'm asleep."
OOC:
Woohoo leveling up!Jul 10, 2022 11:08 am
I need to get out of this outfit...only skintight stuff stays when i change she stretches, and grabs the bag with a change of clothes from the van.

OOC:
If there's no OOC stuff anyone wants to do, I'll move on. I'm happy to answer any milestone questions in the OOC thread. :)Jul 18, 2022 1:19 pm
You quickly realize why the hotel has such cheap rates. The rooms have flyers advertising "personalizations" worth a small fortune. Luckily, you're just here for the beds and to lay low.
In the morning, you wake to the smell of greasy hangover food in the buffet trays in the lobby. Lunch is a combination of vending machine snacks. Hopefully after you make your delivery, you can go get a real late night dinner somewhere.
The receptionist greets you as she did the night before - Callie, you recal, was how Gennison addressed her. This time, however, you don't have to wait as long, and you're ushered into Gennison's office. He takes the materials and checks them over swiftly. He leans back and clasps his hands.
Fan-tas-tic! I love it! Everything's here! I'll have my techs scan the cloud and we'll be golden. Drinks!
He hops over to the liquor cart and mixes something distinctly tropical, and strong.
Phoenixes. A classic. My sister grows the pomegranites in her conservatory. Ah, ha ha I knew I had the right folks for the job.
He gestures you to sit in the leather chairs, each of which, you notice, has a thick manilla envelope on the seat.
So, how'd it go? Learn anything about those other supers? Any epic battles?

"It went pretty good! A bit dicey at times, but we got the job done."
That said, Brigid takes the manila envelope and opens it, looking inside at its contents.

Count 'em if you like, but it's all there. Gennison pours himself another drink. Five grand a piece in crisp, clean Jacksons. Figured they'd spend easiest. This may be the fastest I've spent this much, but I'll be damned if it wasn't worth it.
He drains his glass and sighs contentedly. Those other supers. Are they still around? I haven't caught wind of anything that'd need damage control, but I'd hate to be surprised.

Now that they were all in Gennison's office and the materials were handed over and paid for, Tentacular allowed himself to be less cautious. Job done, time for a drink or two! He didn't hesitate on invitation to pour himself two tentacles worth of booze from the cart.
"We met three of them, Black Swan, Quantum Girl, and the Ox. Sure they're still around, don't think the job was to get rid of them. Unless you want to hire us to do that as well, are you?"

Not at all! Killing is messy. And in most cultures unethical. He chuckles at his own joke. I was just wondering if any of you got a nemesis. See, you've shown you can work quickly behind the scenes. I've got another job for you next week that'll test your stamina in a front-facing setting. He opens a drawer in his desk and shuffles around.
Course, I think it's more fun to test stamina behind the scenes. Ugh, this guy. Did he just wink?
It'd be the same pay as this one. $500 up front, $5,000 on completion. But if this goes well too, there's a long term contract option at the end.
