Void Fist seems to blur into multiple versions of himself as he takes pictures and video from various angles asking odd questions like what it feels like it's made of, if Polaris felt differently holding it, could they get one pizza with extra cheese, and what the staff smelt like.

And Emma just stood there, lips curving down, twisting faintly in annoyance. "Omigod, pizza first and then we can play a bajillion questions."

Boys.

And Polaris turned with an annoyed huff (she was hungry, okay?), outfit shimmering a moment before shifting back into her normal clothes. She propped the staff against her shoulder and headed off for that promised pizza.

Void Fist jots some notes about the staff not activating from shoulder mounted position. "We should get a staff holster for that." he suggested before leaving to pick up the bike, his back, and a guitar case, considering walking around with everything he texts back the group.

"Where we getting pizza?"

Once he figures out a closer spot to drop off the bike to the pizzeria he'll pedal over that way with all the gear and swag.

As everyone begins to disperse, Mimic puts up his hood to hide his face before following after Void Fist towards the park.

"Oh sweet now I don't have to carry your guitar case... so do you play???" Void Fist states realizing he had a companion tagging along and slows his pace on the bike.

Mimic takes the case and begins running to keep pace with the bike. "I dabble. Playing for tips is the best way to make money since I do not legally exist."
Feb 16, 2017 7:53 pm
Void Fist stops the bike and turns to fully look at Mimic. "You need a place to crash?" Void Fist thinks a bit and pulls out his phone and searches, 'How to apply for financial aid if you're a hero that simply pops into existance'.

"So like, a Supreme or the Veggie Lovers w/Bacon?"
OOC:
Maybe fade out to all of us chillin' and laughing at a corner booth full of too much food, with either a to-go box for Omen or her reluctantly joining us as we scootch over to make room.

OOC:
I think that depends, is Omen going to stay at her ship? In either case I'll close out the issue in a bit.

Oh, I wrote my last post assuming that it was fade-to-black for Omen and P.I.L.O.T. Thought it'd be more thematically appropriate (to both the game's adolescent focus and to my character) for Omen to be a self-imposed loner for now. Drama! In short, she is staying in her sanctuary. :)

In the closing pages of this issue, first we see Omen, still working back on the ship, trying to focus on deciphering this strange piece of technology, but her thoughts keep shifting back to her friends-- Are they her friends?

There's a splash panel of the rest of the team sitting down to rest after a well-earned victory, the seven of them clustered around a table enjoying themselves, not unlike a certain shawarma restaurant scene. There are a few TVs playing the news coverage of Sunspot talking all about how he saved the day. Void Fist almost knocking over the table more than a few times trying to figure out his new toy, but does figure out that there is a small, but powerful, grappling hook built into one end. The rest of the group gets a bit of a laugh out of seeing him get the hook lodged in the hole in Mimic's face for a minute or so.

The final page picks up The next day, where a woman in white crawls out of the burning wreckage of a prison transport. She raises a cell phone, stolen from an officer's body, to her face, removing the broken cuffs from her wrists as it rings. Someone picks up. "It's Thirteen. Did Swords get what they were after?"

"Good. We'll need it."
