I8: Ripping reality a new one ((Open Thread))

by **David Renko** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:54 pm

Renko flexed his gauntlet encased hands as he contemplated what he was about to do. The X-Men uniform he was wearing being something that had been somewhat unexpected.

It's simple just have to keep it stable at the same approximate time they saw Professor Weaver's clone walk through. Nothing to it.

"Nothing to it at all," Renko said with a half-smile.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:57 pm

"You gonna be OK?" Will asked

He looked a little different than normal, spikier and whatnot, as he tried to 'disguise' himself.

by **David Renko** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:00 pm

"Yeah, just a bit of nerves," Renko said, "Not exactly used to lives depending on me."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:02 pm

"Don't think of it that way. All you're doing is rewinding time--that's the kinda stuff you do all the time, right? Just like that," Will said, trying to be helpful.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:02 pm

Bobby was there, wearing his normal wetsuit-uniform for X Men outings,but he also had a set of dark, normal clothes on over top. they were not sure what to expect, and they might need to blend in.

"Easy, man- just like torquing an engine bolt."

by **David Renko** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 10:07 pm

Renko chuckled softly flexing his hands again his gauntlets letting off a soft orange light. He had per Stephanie's suggestion made the design more compact giving him hands that were a bit barer, though he was wearing gloves at that exact moment.

"More or less," Renko said, "More or less."

by **Isabel Galen** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 11:27 pm

Isabel stood off to one side, not saying much. She was just along for the ride, anyway.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:06 am

Sara was standing next to Will. She had no clue how she should disguise herself so she had just opted for regular clothes over her uniform.

by **Nick Varkan** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:38 pm

Nick was there too, also wearing his regular clothes over his uniform.

by **John Hino** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:41 pm

John too, with bits of his refurbished Wundagore armor over his uniform for a vaguely Mad Max look.

by **Gideon Rede** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:10 pm

Gideon stood off to the side of the group and like the others was wearing normal clothes over his uniform.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 8:47 pm

"Man, I hope the Captain makes it. We might need her raw power.." Bobby muttered, flexing his hands nervously.

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 10:00 pm

"I hope we don't need help." Isabel said.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 10:08 pm

Captain Britain was, unfortunately, not subtle in her appearance, given the nature of being Captain Britain. She came to land near the others, and looked awkwardly at all the civilian outfits.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 11:03 pm

"Well, maybe everyone wears that in the next universe over," Brass said, chuckling nervously.

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:21 pm

"Let's hope there's no Evil Captain Britain on the other side," John said. He was worried enough about what an evil version of himself might be capable of.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:43 pm

"Oh come on now, John. This isn't Star Trek."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 12:56 pm

"Yeah. You guys might still get lucky..."

by **David Renko** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:05 pm

"No time like the present," Renko said to himself before turning towards the group.

"I'm going to open the portal, so get ready. I don't know what will try to come through into our universe," Renko said in a serious tone for quite possibly the first time ever, "Once I open it move quickly. I'll be the last one through, which will seal the portal behind us."

Hopefully this is going to work

Renko then turned back around and his gauntlets began to glow almost eye-searingly brightly. Renko closed his eyes hands out in front of him. The portal started to form slowly like somebody was tearing open one of the seams of reality. Small things around the portal changed slowly, bits of dirt disappeared, chunks of gravel moved back to their original places.

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:17 pm

John took a deep breath.

Here we go again.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:54 pm

Up on the second floor fire escape, bear waited with balls in hand, ready to smack anything that came through.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:56 pm

"Why does this feel so familiar?" she mumbles to Will as she keeps her eyes on the portal.

by **David Renko** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:18 pm

The portal grew larger slowly as Renko tried to pin point the exact moment it would be most stable. It was close to full size when it contracted sharply almost resealing itself little strikes of orange lightning ground against things nearby. With a grunt, a curse, and gauntlets glowing nearly white the portal began to reopen again though a bit slower this time as he worked more carefully.

The group didn't have to wait too much longer though, and they soon had a full-sized glowing cross-dimensional tunnel. The portal seemed to waver briefly around the edges before becoming considerably sharper as Renko found the exact best moment.

"It's stable now," Renko smiled.

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:34 pm

"Time to get this show on the road then," Nick said confidently.

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:42 pm

"This is not going to end well." Isabel said nervously.

by **Bobby Bowen** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:46 pm

Bobby took a deep breath, and jumped through.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:48 pm

"Well, let's go get our head-mistress back then!" Sara tries to stay optimistic.

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:50 pm

John jumped through after Bobby.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:50 pm

"Allons-y!"

by **Nick Varkan** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:56 pm

"Time to rock," Nick grinned as he flew in.

[Let the eye rolling commence]

by **Gideon Rede** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:00 pm

Gideon groaned softly at Nick's line but followed him into the portal.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:03 pm

Bar gave the obligatory groan, waiting for the others to make it through.

by **Isabel Galen** » Sat Aug 27, 2011 12:51 am

And Isabel brought up the rear.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:55 am

Stephanie flashed Renko a subtle smile of encouragement as she waited for Melody to step through the portal in front of her.

"I'll see you on the other side," she said quietly.
