Why would i need to move or think quickly at all?

All i needed to do was lean against the corner of the building or sit down in a bus stop shelter and listen for the police to turn up then fire a shockwave into their back wheel the second their slow moving vehicle comes into view.

Chances are they would be either too distracted looking at the unburgled shop to notice me allowing me the freedom to aim accurately, or they will notice me and stop the car to question me which makes hitting the car that much easier.

These are all entirely sensible things to do that you entirely forgot to specify and that didn't occur to me on my own as the obvious solution while reading your action. It never helps to assume that a crucial step of your plan is immediately and entirely evident, so it would be preferable if you didn't do it in the future.

But, if it really does rattle you that much, I can take a step back and redo it your way as a one-time thing, and write this off as a less-than-fun misunderstanding. I know it pisses me off when I get misinterpreted with unpleasant consequences, especially when there's unclear wording involved.

That'd be nice, but im going on holiday for a few weeks and im likely not gonna be able to play much, if at all, until i get back.

So, how is the game for everyone else? I'm... not unhappy with it.

I have an unfortunate habit to approach things from a simulationist perspective and ignoring the laws of narrative causality, which is a tad dire.

Good news, I'm becoming increasingly aware of this, and will strive to improve.

[kj1225]

Yeah, it's fine to lead up to it but at a point it feels kind of drawn out and boring you know?

[kj1225]

So, what's happening with everyone else? I finally got around to reading the previous turn and I noticed pretty much everyone aside from me and Cado are doing something involving a dome or an arena or something.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Project Ed is hosting a warped space party at the sports stadium.

We are all planning on attending.

[kj1225]

Ah.

I'm worried that one of my worst fears is going to happen.
Being attacked in the shower by some nonhuman opponent.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Technically wouldnt you be the nonhuman now?

[Yourmaster]

I'm with a PRC officer. Also, I think I got recruited. What's everyone's power (as far as they can see)? Alex's is super durability, an extremely weak healing factor, and the ability to manipulate and create his own pocket universes.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Steven has Shockwave generation, recoil based flight/movement, probable g-force immunity.

Might have some slight damage reduction, but that could just be plot armor.

[kj1225]

Damned if I know. Literally all things considered.

[kj1225]

You know, Dejava should add a link to the OPs of both threads at some point.

So... since this seems dead could HB tell us what our powers actually were?

And if it isn't... could he explain his choice of ignoring my backstory and making Kyle not even have a modern cellphone.

It isn't dead... yet. I've just had a week where one out of five weekdays total did not feature at least one test that I had to spend a day or more to properly prepare for. Feel free to assume that it's either that or a massive case of perfectionism-induced laziness when I don't update in the future.

Also, what exactly do you believe to be a modern cellphone, seeing how it's technically 2006 in-universe?

And you haven't even posted an action yet! The nerve, I tell you!
