"Matthew walks off"

[GreatWyrmGold]

2012, July 14, 1200


Matthew and Selina meet in a park by chance. After Matthew purposefully trips in front of Selina, they talk. Selina backs off; Matthew takes his cue and leaves.


Tabitha glares at the stoplight. Soon enough, it changes, and a few minutes later she reaches her workshop.


Steven is hiding in the sewers. He doesn't get hungry much anymore, and thirst is usually dealt with by absorbing water from ground he passes through, but he still feels boredom and fear.

Fear is strong today. Toronto's sewers have been augmented and altered by a gang known as the Rats, composed primarily of warped parahumans and lead by the strangely-creatively-named Kiln, who combines terra- and pyrokinesis. The Rats could be coming by any minute...did he just hear something?


Elena puts on most of her costume, becoming Delphinium. She will be going on patrol with Sliver at one, but that leaves time to get lunch and perhaps mess around in the Wards HQ before then.


Kevin bangs on a vending machine, trying to get a snack. He is unsuccessful for a bit, then he finally frees it.

((... Am I supposed to RP now? You're not giving me anything to work with.))

[MrVoid]

((Elena not Tabitha for the Delphinium.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((... Am I supposed to RP now? You're not giving me anything to work with.))

((You could enter the building and describe what you're working on?))

((...Maybe trying to keep everyone at the same time is doomed to failure.))

Elena not Tabitha for the Delphinium.

((D'oh.))

[Scood]

"heh" Kevin grunts, picks up the snack packaging and starts munching on its contents. He finds a nice comfortable place to sit and starts people watching while he waits for the end of the drying cycle.

Matthew finishes his walk through the park

With a little 'chink', the door to the Protectorate building swung inwards, and in slouched forth the parahuman known as Tabitha.

"Hannah." She called for her assistant, eyes shut and sluggishly weaving through the small maze of walls and desks. "Coffee."

Hannah, a mousy woman who had been standing by the wall, quickly fell into step behind Tabitha. "The, uh. The machine-" she said, but was interrupted by a hefty sigh.

"Can't you people refrain from stuffing the grounds into the superconductor? One week? Just one week I ask."

With an almost audible whip crack, Tabitha about-faced and marched straight into the break room, where a small gathering of people were swiftly backing away from a screeching and glowing 2 foot tall machine on the counter.

"The flesh is falling off of my hands!" cried a distressed coworker.

"I think that's just filth, Dirty Dan."

"NOOOOOOOO-"

"I swear you people just shouldn't be allowed near these things." Tabitha said as she marched straight up to the shaking machine. Grabbing a strategically placed set of tools inset into the wall four months ago, she pulled a pair of pliers out, opened a panel on the back of the machine, and twisted what some might have called the fourth dimensional representative of a lug nut cast onto a mobius strip.

The machine stopped glowing, made a hellish grinding noise, then shot a soccer ball sized pile of wet, clumpy coffee grounds at the wall at twenty miles per hour, the resulting splatter reinvigorating Dirty Dan immensely.

It beeped. Tabitha shut the flap, opened a hinge, poured in a generous amount of coffee material into the opening, and stormed out a half minute later holding two cups of tinker brewed hyper caffeine.

Ignoring the sudden influx of office workers rushing to get their fix, Tabitha continued onward to sub level five, handing Hannah the spare cup as she fell back in line. Perhaps the combat super-stimulants she had been brewing were ready for demonstration.

Selina walked into a soup kitchen and joined a long line of others without money for homes or food. After a couple minutes she was given a few slices of slightly stale bread, and a bit of cheese. Fortunately, the soup was good today, or chowder as it was, being Cheese Burger Chowder and quite hot. She was lucky today, often the main meal of the day was already long gone, but it seemed like there would be plenty today, even giving out small containers of the chowder for later consumption after eating your fill here. Selina sighed as she slowly ate. What if that man had actually been sincere with his offer? Would Selina finally be able to get out of the world she was so desperately trapped in?

No... She just couldn't know... She sat alone as she contemplated why she bothered to still try and survive... And hoped desperately she was not recognized from the news reports that had happened day 1. The reports came less frequently now, the last one about her airing on day 36. Maybe she had been forgotten now... Maybe that was how it should be... She ate quietly in her corner, hating her life and what she had become.

((no worm update tonight  oh well the last one had a cliff hanger so big i could just touch the canyon floor if I stretched my toes a bit.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

Steven lets out a low growl and turns to flee, while confident that kilns powers would be unable to affect him it is not a hupothesis he was willing to test at the moment.

[RangerCado]

((Should I just continue flavor posting or are you planning on some NPC interaction Gold?))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((...NPC action works. Hm...))

Selina sits down next to a middle-aged woman.
"Hello, miss. What's your name?"

[RangerCado]

"er... h-hello... um... I... I'm s-s-sarah..." Selina's eye twitched slightly when she said the name. She had used several different names while she was hiding, trying not to be recognized. Despite this, she always had some little tell that a trained eye could pick up on.
