Episode 5: The Lorax Gets Beaten Up
Time: Past Noon
Mar Bayo (knightwing64)As tensions rise in the tight corridors of Logan's train, the conductor attempts a more aggressive approach: “
Calm down! I’m finding a bigger train, So stay in your seats AND BE QUIET.” [Charisma: 1+1] A sunglass wearing surfer with straight straw colored hair sneers at the Beach Boys, "Yeah you heard the boss, shut up!" Ryan Bilson takes a deep breath and retorts, "I'll shut up when I have to stop staring at you ugly yokels." This straw breaks the camels back and punches are thrown. [6 vs. 2] Don't let their trendy outfits fool you, The Beach Boys know how to rumble and they knock a couple surfers out cold. [9 vs. 6] The surfers start using their boards to whack the Beach Boy's on the skull, and send a few of them to the ground.
While chaos breaks around him, Logan cups his hands and channels his nautical energies until his eyes glow an oceanic teal. Sea foam manifests in Logan's palms and when it washes away a pointy and pristine fuscia conch shell is revealed in his grip. Despite its pretty nature, Logan can tell that this is no ordinary souvenir, and holds a great power.
+Asset: Tidal Conch (Mystical, Single Use) - Blow into this conch to unleash a monstrous tidal wave upon your current Location. With this in check, and with crooners and slackers directly behind him trying to beat each other up, Logan sets to thinking. Where would a train yard be, or at least a station or something of the sort? Unfortunately, knowing the various locations this particular round of WikiWars is taking place in, there isn't anywhere that would produce trains. A shame, but he
does know where Costa Vista Beachside Resort Tower should be. He pulls a lever and the train begins to chug along the road...

Webster & RAF Pilot - 11
Tycoon - 9
Monteneros Assassins - 3
Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo & Haures the Unyielding - 2]
"HONK! HONK! HENK!" The RAF pilot knew that this was serious business and a real deal battle. Not only were RPG wielding terrorists and vengeful demons in play, but his boss had (arguably) introduced a whole
second word into that vocabulary. "Reading you clearly!" The plane dips downwards and turns in the direction of the Monteneros Assassins. [1 vs. 5] Before the pilot can let loose with his machine guns, a concentrated burst of assault rifle fire manages to hit the plane! Nothing vital is damaged, but it's too close for comfort. "Aaagh, it's too hot! I'm turning around boss! We can still get the flying man!"
The plane makes a 180 and gets away from the Monteneros and locks in on Joey Jo-Jo. [3 vs. 5] Joey takes too sharp of a downwards flying descent and the fighter plane can't hit him before it's forced to turn back towards the sky and reorient. "Damnit! I'm off my game today."
Tycoon and his goons are busy running into the store, slamming the door shut behind them. The gang leader suddenly regrets having huge display windows positioned everywhere around the facility.
"I'm tired of seeing that robber baron goose and his bootlicker flying in the sky! Take him out, comrade!" The rocket-launcher equipped Monteneros needs no other words of encouragement as looks through the advanced weapon's scope, tracking the plane until the electronic systems lock-on...[10 vs. 1] The rocket flies out and appears to miss the plane completely, until it quickly loops around and tackles the vehicle directly in the nose. There's a brilliant fireball that leaves nothing but a few spare pieces of metal falling to the ground. The Monteneros cheer as the assassin looks at his handiwork with a glint in his eye, "One more billionaire off the list..."
Webster was Anti-Air'd by the Monteneros Assassins!Haures rumbles through the car lot, effortlessly smacking away any vehicle in its path. The locked doors are no obstacle to it, practice fodder for his war picks that cleave through the barrier like notebook paper. [7 vs. 5] With one giant bound, Haures leaps through the air and lands on a biker, crushing him like a grape. The last remaining biker in Squad I, tears streaming down his face, runs as fast as he can. But he isn't fast enough for the long range of a war pick swipe, that collides with the force a wrecking ball and sends him, and the last remaining hope for the squad, careening through a display window at over 100 MPH.
Tycoon, the valiant leader that he is, locks himself inside of his office and starts barricading it with filing cabinets and his desk. Death Rider Squad II cower behind a display truck and hold their collective breath, hoping that Haures has the awareness of a T-Rex.
Joey transforms back into his Nephew form and lands right outside of a nearby clinic, blood continuing to stream from his chest and onto the ground, a trail left behind him like crimson rain. He stumbles inside, and passes out...
[Surgery: 4]
Joey wakes up sometime later. He is visited by his surgeon, who said they were able to patch him up, but unfortunately, due to complications his Left Arm had to be removed. "The good news is, you'll definitely live. Now then, are you paying with Cash or Card?"

Tina & LPPD II - 6
The Lorax - 4
Hostigi Knights - 3]
Humbling herself to the level of a rookie cop, Tanya accepts the money and heads to a hot dog stand to purchase enough food for the third LPPD Squad. While the vendor cooks the sizzling dogs, Tanya listens in for the conversation of nearby fans to figure out what tensions belie this subculture; there's
always in-fighting. [Learning Cultures: 2] There's a lot of chatter, but Tanya isn't able to comprehend anything through all of the jargon. When a typical sentence is, "Freidrich von Beauchamp can't Muddle before Debut 1647," how can she discern a single idea from these gamers? Before she knows it, her order of hot dogs is ready.
Her Hostigi Knights stand a good distance away, attempting to not make it obvious that they are linked up with Tanya, while simultaneously keeping her within eyesight.
LPPD Unit I gets in battle formation as their colleague wipes the dirt from his eyes, while The Lorax stands on top of a garbage can and jeers at them. "Come on you dunces, fight me or your mothers will!" [10 vs. 7] They take him up on his offer, and the nearest one gives him a faceful of pepper spray. The Lorax clutches at his face, "AHHHHH NOT THE EYES YOU STUPID BITCH!" This is when the other cops swarm in and just start beating the shit out of the little orange guy.
Tina, apparently now cosplaying for Paige Mack, listens in on the discussion to see if she could replicate this character's moveset. [Learning Fighting Styles: 4] Paige Mack does not use overt magic, but she is a medium ranged character who specializes in the use of Dueling Pistols. If Tina was going to emulate any of these techniques, she'd need the right weapons first.
The Lorax attempts to weather the storm of baton strikes [Constitution: 1] but apparently The Force of Mother Nature is nothing compared to The Force of Vindictive Police Brutality. The cops step back as The Lorax slides down the side of the garbage can and onto the ground, his body a landscape of bruises and his face a swollen, splattered with blood and teeth. A cop prods The Lorax with his baton, and seeing no reaction, shrugs and picks up the little Speaker of Trees and dumps him inside the garbage can.

El Fuego Taqueria (King Zultan)King Zultan greets his new teammates and fills them in on the current situation: "Welcome aboard men, with your help I feel we can take down the local gang members that are disguised as a mariachi band in
El Fuego Taqueria." The football players are eager to help liberate the local community from the clutches of gangsters, all while getting to hone their skills.
Zultan's whole group nonchalantly walk out of the sporting goods store and back to El Fuego Taqueria, where he identifies the jovial Mariachi Band as the thugs in question. The Musk-Oxes all get in a football stance, and begin to count down in unison, "3....2....1....football!" [2+2 vs. 3] The football players are hyped up,
too hyped up. They tackle one Mariachi player successfully but the rest is a free-for-all as they begin to tackle and take down civilians left and right, who begin panicking. The Mariachi Band, realizing they are under attack from a football blitz, throw down their instruments and draw their hidden guns and blades. [6 vs. 9+1(Athletic)] They counteract, but the athletes are too quick and nimble, diving and sliding around at will while bullets hit tables, walls and lighting fixtures. Every time a narco tries to slice a football player he completely whiffs as they juke and hurdle him with ease. For all the violence, the sports team is completely undeterred, "WOO YEAH FOOTBALL GAME TIME YEEEEEAH!"
When the shooting breaks out, the Indonesian Soldier takes aim at all the Mariachis trying to blast the jocks. [2 vs. 1] The professional soldier shoots a Mariachi's gun out of his hand, temporarily disarming him, but the rest of Las Panteras shoot back at him and he is forced to take cover behind the vending machine.
El Apundalador is besides himself, staring in shock as athletes attack his customers and employees while a foreign soldier starts to get into a shootout. "I will not have this ruining my business! This is a family restaurant,
mierda!" He opens his guitar to reveal that it doubles as a container for a massive steak knife, practically a shortsword in size. [3 vs. 9+1(Athletic)] Furiously, he attempts to chase down the Musk-Ox team and carve as many as he can into chunks of raw meat, but they prove too fast as for him, each player at least twice as speedy as he is. As he tries chasing one player, a teammate leaps over The Butcher and steals his sombrero, placing it upon his own head, leaving the business owner screaming in a flurry of Spanish curses.
King Zultan stands outside, watching the action while closely clutching his new G2 Pistol. There's a lot of fighting but surprisingly no casualties, besides the unconscious civilians that the Musk-Oxes blindly tackled. So far, no enemy reinforcements have shown up...

The Skate Park (Euchre Jack)"Anti-Corruption Advocates, canvas the neighborhood to determine their thoughts on the Skate Park. Frank, take to the skies, you know what to do. Rudolf, prepare for crowd control." Galia distributes her commands like a seasoned general, and each part of her army goes about to their specific duties, dispersing where needed.
She turns back to the swaggering skater and speaks plainly: "Copain, I think we need to talk a language you understand..." He smirks, and his gang laugh, refusing to show intimidation in the face of this uncouth business lady. "Yeah, what language is that?" [5 vs. 7] Galia throws the fastest sucker-punch she can manage, and it's fairly impressive for a non-fighter. Kirk's eyes widen and he has to jerk his head back to avoid getting hit, but his skater reflexes are just a bit faster than hers. The lead skater grins, itching for a hometown slugfest with a poser.
[Initiative:
Skate N' Die Punks - 10
Galia Prosdocimus Arnold - 9
Frank Luke - 8
Kurt Copain - 7
Anti-Corruption Advocates - 5
Rudolf the German Flying Reindeer - 4]
As soon as Galia swings her fists the Skate N' Die Punks hop on their skateboards and rush forward. "Get the frickin moose!" [10 vs. 2] Just as Rudolf starts to fly a skater does a kickflip off of a bench and lands on the reindeer's head with the force of a baseball bat. Rudolf hits the ground as the skaters converge on him, ramming into his body with their boards and shooting spray paint into his eyes. "Schmerzen!!! Viel Schmerz!" The reindeer cries out in German as hacks up a glob of blood from his throat.
While the Punks practically ensure that Rudolf has his last German Christmas, Frank Luke has taken to the air and put his eyes down upon them. [1 vs. 8] The skaters take a break from executing Rudolf to note the Biplane targeting them. "You think we're scared of your old ass buzzplane? We have real technology on our side!" The skaters disperse and skate around the park, using their boards to hit previously unseen buttons. These buttons activate bright lights around the area, some of which shine directly into Frank's eyes. [Flying: 2+3(Ace)] The pilot's vision goes blank white and he has to find blind, miraculously he manages not to crash into any part of the park, but is forced to land in some nearby crash, grounded until his vision clears.
"You've got a lame crew lady!" Kurt Copain declares this as Rudolf and Frank are both incapacitated, before striking back. [10 vs. 1] She's ready for him to punch, kick or even headbutt, but instead he swings his scooter around so that the side of the board smacks her in the ankle. Galia's ready to respond to such a bizarre, mood, when a great weight comes over her, reaching into the depths of her soul. Kurt smiles, "That's a forbidden technique only taught by the most radical of scooter master's,
The Scooter Ankle of Death. Think very carefully, because once you take another 7 steps, your heart will explode immediately." Cruelly, he takes a solid
8 steps away from the business guru. "Come on lady, I'm right here. Tick. Tick. Tick..."
[Canvasing: 8] The Anti-Corruption Activists arrive back from their door-to-door effort just after Copain's fatal blow. Standing at the edge of the skate park, they yell at their leader, "The people around here are fed up with the skaters! They litter, do graffiti and play loud music! They think the city officials should do something about them!"
Rudolf lies on his side, looking like one of his mundane brethren after a run in with a malicious rifle-toting hunter. He coughs up more blood, "Mein Gott..." He feels warm and fuzzy, and when he looks up he's not at the skatepark anymore. No, he's flying through the air with German Santa Claus, "Ho ho ho, Frohe Weihnachten!" They fly all over, giving presents to all the German boys and girls, as well as eating any French children they happen to see. A smile graces Rudolf's face as his red nose starts to dim...

Pepito's Pizzeria (0rca_tr0per)Lord Screech XIII accepts the little man's offer and follows him around the building and into its brighter, much more accepting front side. Within minutes, the South African is given his own private booth and a large pineapple pizza. Giant Vitali, with a huge shit-eating-grin on his face, leans over, "If you need anything, and I need
anything, ask the staff and they'll be happy to help you.
Buon pranzo!" He waddles away into the back of the store, slamming the door behind him. Not even a minute later, Lord Screech hears muffled discussion, power tools and screaming from behind that very door.
A bulky thug moving boxes to and fro the back of the restaurant stops to admire the grenade launcher on Lord's person. "Ay, that there's a nice piece. Wheredya get it?"

Costa Vista Beachside Resort Tower (knightwing64)Las Peleas's coastline stretches for dozens of miles across white beaches and azure waters. While everyone enjoys the beach, which beaches you can go to depend on your class. At the top are public beaches, where even the dredges of society can enjoy the fresh water and sunny skies. Lower down you begin to find exclusive clubs that only those who can afford monthly or annual passes can enjoy. And finally at the southernmost point of the coastline are the resorts, colossal structures fenced off and guarded, exclusive to affluent locals and top-spending tourists.
One of the most famous of these resorts is the
Costa Vista Beachside Resort Tower, a glass colored monolith that spirals towards the heavens like an ultramodern Tower of Babel. Somewhere near the top, La Pantera underboss Morty Dakota snorts a baseball worth of cocaine in a single line while his goons patrol the premises in their cheap suits, making sure no infiltrators or loiterers have made it inside.
The Tower is literally down the road from Mar Bayo so Logan finds it without issue. Looking up the 40 story structure, he knows that Lisa Hoffman has to be somewhere inside, and through her he could find the elusive but brilliant Dr. Hoffman. He can't see where she would be exactly, but we can see clearly is the gaggle of armed La Pantera soldiers hanging out at the front of the establishment...
The Beach Boys and surfers have momentarily paused in their brawl, both sides now physically exhausted.

Muntford Avenue Dojo (Fluffe9911) Webster wakes up in the sewers. With a massive headache, the goose stumbles around the dark corridors surrounded by rats and putrid water. Eventually, he finds a source of light, and has just enough strength to fly up and out of what is revealed to be a sewer grate. Weakly lying on the surface of the great and adjusting to the light, Webster can see that he's on some sort of urban street, a number of apartment buildings and small stores are around him.
The building that stands out the most is clearly modeled after a Japanese dojo. Standing in front of the dojo he sees some scary looking people, although their body language is more pleading than intimidating as they plea to a group of people in white Gi's, colorful belts wrapped around their uniforms. One of the scary guys in face paint says, "Come on, pleaaaase. We just want to learn kung-fu and help you grow your business!" One of the martial artist's simply laughs at him, "You look ridiculous! Someone of your foolish design would not be respectable in this place of ancient art and culture. Do not waste our time with your mockery!"

Clairvoyance - You create an invisible sensor somewhere that you have been before. When you use this Power, you choose Seeing or Hearing: you can use that sense in your chosen location as if you were there. You can use an Action to switch between Seeing and Hearing. You can only have 1 sensor live at any time.
Stone Shape - You touch a stone object of Medium size or smaller or a section of stone no more than 5 feet in any dimension and form it into any shape that suits your purpose. So, for example, you could shape a large rock into a weapon, idol, or coffer, or make a small passage through a wall, as long as the wall is less than 5 feet thick. The object you create can have up to two hinges and a latch, but finer mechanical detail isn't possible.
Inflict Wounds - You can touch a creature to perform a melee attack that deals painful necrotic damage.

Powers:
Norwegian Pardon - A message from the Norwegian government will appear to any given Gang or other group of NPCs. The Norwegian government will take all blame for you and compensate the contacted party. Doing this will change the Gang or other group's feelings towards you to Neutral. Has no effect on Gangs or groups that are Unfriendly or Hostile towards Norway. However, when this ability is used a group of Norwegian WWII Vigilantes will appear to take "street justice" into their own hands. [CD:2/2]

Medical mishaps are a mysterious thing, though I remain steadfast in optimism for my condition. I greatly apologize for the large delay in this turn.
In happier news, I have upgraded from using a laptop mousepad to a legitimate point-and-click wireless mouse. This alone has increased my turn-writing efficacy by no less than 33%.
