Issue 2 - Rabble Rousing and Drinking Excessively

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 3:56 am

Without the extra support from his artificial nervous system, Cal was free to... lay there, drool, and moan. His eyes were unfocused, and his movements were jerky and random. He did manage to moan something that sounded vaguely like 'nice'.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 3:59 am

Daniel blacked out for a second as Coby phasing through him disrupted his nervous system, then got a wicked smile on his face, even as Tink kept hitting him. "Ohhh, I like this one," he mused. The table swung around, the heavy tabletop swinging in to hammer into Tink's side and knock her off of him.

Tink took the blow and fell hard under the table, her ribs were cracked she was sure of it.

"Clap your fucking hands!" She yelled at the others, in obvious pain even as she tried to get to her knees, revealing a little more about herself.

"Stop gawping and clap your fucking hands! Loud and quickly! 'I believe in faeries!' "

by **Coby** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:07 am

Coby was unable to do anythign about the table, but he was able to stamp on Dan's face, hard.

Then, confused, he said, "uh....I believe in fairies?" and gave a very small clap.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:09 am

Daniel smiled wickedly up at Coby as he grabbed his foot and shoved it to the side of his head so that he stomped down next to his ear. "You. You're just what I've been looking for." There was a flash, and Coby was suddenly wrapped in hot energy, and disturbingly unable to use his power.

by **Coby** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:12 am

"YARGH!" Coby screamed, trying to phase through but unable to...

by **Brett Wakely** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:13 am

Shit. Brett decided to try his best Christian Bale impersonation with his illusion, if only to distract the other mutant. "Hey! You! What the fuck is it with you!? You think you can just fucking come in here an' pick fights with anyone like a bloody douche?" Turns out, he was reasonably proficient in foul language.

The real Brett took out his cell phone, dailing emergency services.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:14 am

"I said clap your fucking hands!" Tink sneered then growled as Daniel took Coby down. At this revelation Murphy's claps grew louder and more insistent and her voice was enough for Tink to be able to surge to her feet again, renewed. Her fists clenched as she sprayed fairy dust all over the guy, grabbing at his arm as it took effect.

"You fucked with the wrong fae you, bastard!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:17 am

As abruptly as it started, Coby was released. Tink would find that her hands passed right through Daniel's arm... stinging with heat as they passed through him. He smirked up at her as he pushed himself to his feet. "Are you all ready to stop acting like flatscans yet?" he asked, winking at Tink cheekily as he dusted himself off.

by **Coby** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:20 am

Coby tried to phase again, sweating--both for his sake and Jake's...

by **Brett Wakely** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:21 am

"You listen to me when I ask you something, chav!" The illusion rolled up his sleeves, and made the appeareance of getting ready to deck the firey one across the jaw.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:29 am

Tink shivered a little at the wink though she supressed it and concentrated on her rage instead.

"You and me, outside, sans powers.. if you think you are so much tougher than a flatscan lets see you go up against a girl without powers." She growled.

"Thats my bo.. Cal on the ground and no one fucks with things I care about."

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:33 am

Code: Select all: System temperature within acceptable startup range. Rebooting.

Thank fucking God. Reboot faster, dammit.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:31 pm

Apparently Murphy had decided to get involved, throwing a slow punch at the boy.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:39 pm

The boy had apparently not gone tangible yet, and as Murphy's fist passed through him, just like Tink, she'd find the hot stinging pain as her flesh was singed. "Oh come on, now. All this, just for one stupid flatscan. You all need your priorities fixed, you know that?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:44 pm

Without even a change in expression, Murphy kept her fist inside the boy. And then she started absorbing energy from him.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 1:51 pm

Daniel looked at her curiously, then noticed the cold feeling around her fist. "Ooooh, you're good, too," he said, smirking.

The heavy base of the table he'd slammed Tink with began glowing and vibrating, then it shattered spectacularly into so much red-hot shrapnel. "I suppose we got off to a bad start," he chuckled. "You'd be those new X-Men, I suppose? Or some of them at least?" The red-hot debris began darting around the room in a dangerous orbit, a good deal of it swinging toward Murphy to drive her out of him.

by **Brett Wakely** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:04 pm

"Fight me!," he illusion shouted at the enemy mutant. The real Brett wondered how long the others were going to be able to take this kind of beating.

I may just have to have him come after me, if worse comes to worse. Maybe I could make an opening for someone somehow. He looked up, eyes pleading for Murphy or Tink to take advantage of any distractions he made with his illusion. This didn't look pretty.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:08 pm

"Oh why the hell do you want to fight me? You were about to beat on that little bastard yourselves," Daniel said, rolling his eyes as he swung his hand toward the illusion, sending shrapnel darting through it.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:13 pm

Murphy fell backwards as a bit of shrapnel caught her in the shoulder.

by **Brett Wakely** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:14 pm

And with that, the trash-talking mirage immediately faded from existence.

by **Calvin Strong** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:19 pm

Code: Select all: All systems online. Functionality at 50% and climbing.

Cal's eyes blinked on, the display staticky. His motions were still unsteady... but he saw Daniel distracted, and that was what he needed. "Over here, asshole," he rasped, throwing up his natural hand and unleashing a single, powerful bolt of electricity at him.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 2:23 pm

The shot was more luck than anything. As soon as murphy's hand was out of him, Daniel found that, strangely enough, he couldn't phase anymore. Any further confusion he had was driven from his mind when Calvin started pumping electricity into him.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 6:47 pm

"Brawling with the bastard is different to outright burning him without so much as a 'hows your father'!" Tink replied with a sneer going to her knees beside Cal.

"You give them a fighting chance then when you legitimitally kick their asses then they can't call foul play, now your little method makes us look like a bunch of sneaky pathetic creeps who hit a guy when his back is turned!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:52 pm

Daniel growled, then grabbed Murphy's leg, shoving her in the path of the electricity. As he did so, the same energy that had surrounded Coby wrapped around her, along with the same sensation of burning, accompanied with a momentary inability to access her power.

by **Brett Wakely** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:20 pm

That's it. This really sucks, but I've got to step in. It looks like he could kill us all.

Brett darted up onto his feet from having been crouching next to Calvin and made a beeline for Daniel, with the intent of clocking him. He prayed that his adversary would assume he was just another illusion and leave himself open, though he couldn't count on it.

Thisisstupidthisisstupidthisisstupid....

by **Hannah Murphy** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:48 am

Murphy convulses as she's hit by the blast of electricity, falling limp.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:10 am

Daniel shoved her out of the way quickly, the lightning bolt striking him square in the chest now. "There... now... I suggest that you stop it... Right now." Bright flame began to build around his hands.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:50 am

Murphy struggles to her feet, drawing back an arrow and aiming at Daniel.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:55 am

What the fuck do you think you are doing, Uriel? Kyra said as she entered the bar, her mindvoice like the crack of a whip.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:58 am

"Hello, Kyra," Daniel said, smirking, as he looked over at the door. "Had some people evidently taking exception to a little manners lesson."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:00 am

"I noticed. Grandmother sent me to bring you back." she said, in a tone that brooked no argument "If you stay, it will go badly for you."

by **Calvin Strong** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:04 am

Cal, in the meantime, swore and cut off the lightning, seeing that it had somehow lost its effect. "Am I the only one feeling like I missed an episode or something?" he muttered to Tink.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:05 am

Daniel gave her a wicked smile, the flames still burning in his hands. "And is it going to go well for me if I come with you?" he asked, winking at her.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:06 am

Murphy stays her hand, watching to see what happens.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:08 am

"In your sick, perverted dreams, Danny-boy." Kyra said, sounding disgusted "I'd sooner spread my legs for a flatscan."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:14 am

"Ker-CHEEE!" Tink laughed out loud and imitated a whip in Daniel's direction.

"See, I like her! Thats the way you deal with the men folk!" She smoothed a hand across Cal's face, brushing his hair back gently and giving him a wink before turning back to smirk at Daniel.

"Not having much luck with the lady folk tonight are you, studly?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:19 am

Daniel smirked wickedly at Tink as he started for the door. Then, with another wave of his hand, Cal thrashed on the ground again, sparks flying from his mouth and eyes as his visible metal flashed red hot again. "Keep your girl in check, Man-Bot," he taunted.

"Ladies first?" he said, making a mock gracious gesture toward the door for Kyra.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:22 am

Murphy let an arrow fly at the door frame, preparing another one, "That wasn't nice."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 3:24 am

"One thing first." Kyra replied. Anyone who could see astral avatars would notice a black winged angel, its features obscured by a bronze mask, bring down a cat-o-nine-tails down across Daniel's face. Anyone who couldn't might just notice what happened when Kyra set off a bunch of pain receptors.
