PapatymisonN:I'm gonna shower.
PapatymisonN:BRB.
J4deninj44:*curls up in a little ball of neko* o.o
FFFan80:6.6 kitteh?
WillRennar:(*invokes Essence of Tai, lurks*)
J4deninj44:Mrow.
J4deninj44:...
PapatymisonN:What's up, kids?
FFFan80:Not much!
PapatymisonN:So let's RP, then.
PapatymisonN:Anyone here completely unfamiliar with the Superheroes setting?
J4deninj44:BREAK CAR! I'm not.
FFFan80:...wha?
PapatymisonN:We have a Superheroes setting. Only tangentially connected to Gaera...
FFFan80:I... have never heard of this o_o;
PapatymisonN:Well, let me tell ya about it!
PapatymisonN:Once upon a time, there was an RP I ran in this universe!
PapatymisonN:It involved a wormhole from Gaera to this universe, and Jazz's arch nemesis, and a hero named The Crimson Defender, basically a Superman analogue, who got splattered on the walls of the villain's lair.
PapatymisonN:I liked him so much, he ended up having his afterlife in Gaera.
PapatymisonN:And I ended up liking the SETTING so much, I fleshed it out.
FFFan80:Ok
PapatymisonN:Basically, it's an alternate version of Earth with superheroes.
WillRennar:So basically, it's RPGWW does DC Comics. :b
PapatymisonN:The city we use is called Metro City, and there are a collections of islands off the shore used exclusively for evil lairs.
PapatymisonN:And yes. There's as much magic or science or mutancy in your backstory as you like.
WillRennar:So wait...only supervillains are allowed to have island getaways? o.O
PapatymisonN:They've got good lawyers.
WillRennar:Must have, that stinks of alignment discrimination. >:/
PapatymisonN:Anyhoo, in particular, there's a hangout called O'Herlihy's that a lot of heroes hang out at.
PapatymisonN:Bartender's named Jason, and he's completely normal, and he likes it.
PapatymisonN:... oh, and that Crimson Defender guy? This takes place before his death.
PapatymisonN:Hey Kelne.
PapatymisonN:Superheroes?
Kelne2261:Hey.
Kelne2261:Hn. Maybe. It depends on whether inspiration strikes.
PapatymisonN:Kay.
PapatymisonN:You in, Dave?
FFFan80:I... really don't know o_o;
FFFan80:This is kinda like going to a friends for DD and suddenly being told
FFFan80:*D&D
FFFan80:"Oh yeah, we're gonna run cyberpunk in 2380"
PapatymisonN:How hard is it to come up with a superhero motif?
MajorGeneralTso:...What's the going ons?
FFFan80:Without something to react to uh... tough for me =D;
CGNakibe:Dave? C'mon.
CGNakibe:Its not like you can't see an Orken Stephan.
CGNakibe:... during Halloween. >:p
PapatymisonN:Ken: Superheroes.
FFFan80:=(
CGNakibe:Orken Decker Stephan
PapatymisonN:Tryin' to convince Dave.
FFFan80:>=(
MajorGeneralTso:Wow...Superheroes.
MajorGeneralTso:...Haven't done that in a while
PapatymisonN:It still lives.
A Rockin SN:I want the usual. D:
FFFan80:If you guys wanna, I don't care.  I just don't have anything in mind for it >_>;
FFFan80:The way I tend to come up with stuff is:
FFFan80:1) See stuff happening
FFFan80:2) Given idea for something humorous
FFFan80:3) ????
PapatymisonN:4) Profit
FFFan80:4) PROFIT... I mean, character and RP
PapatymisonN:^_^
CGNakibe:5) JOHNNY FIVE
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Shaun wins =(
PapatymisonN:OK, then, kids. Let's get goin'...
PapatymisonN:... but I need a snack. Dan, start us up? I won't be playing Jason, so just used Ned Pierce-Collins...
PapatymisonN:*use
A Rockin SN:I dunno. D:
PapatymisonN:Please? It's... low impact, Superheroes...
A Rockin SN:NEVAR
PapatymisonN:Kay. We
PapatymisonN:SPLEEEEEEEEEEEEN...
Deus Fio:Chaaaaaaaaaa?
PapatymisonN:Start up Superheroes for me? I need to grab a snack.
Deus Fio:I don't want to.
Deus Fio:I hate you.
PapatymisonN:Coward.
PapatymisonN:*poofs for food no matter what the cost*
Deus Fio:<RP>
Deus Fio:*It's a beautiful moonlit night in Metro City; it's not starlit, because you can't see the stars above M.C.'s skyline.
Deus Fio:*You could, however, if you looked up, catch a glimpse of a certain hero, finishing his assorted patrols in the city.
Deus Fio:*And finishing his night, as he finishes many, at O'Herlihy's, known throughout the city as the superhero bar.
Syra Zemyla:(And a supervillain drives by and shoots it with a bazooka! D: )
Deus Fio:*Not large or fancy or well-located bar, but known to cater to the weird.
FFFan80:(possibly important question:  is it superhero only, or do regular joes/janes go in there also?)
Deus Fio:*And so Boreas, master of the wind, sits down at the bar to order, getting a "special" rum and coke, the way he likes it.*
Deus Fio:(If you go in there, people will probably assume you have superpowers even if you don't.)
Deus Fio:(Usually the only person in the bar without some above-average ability is Jason, the barkeep.)
Deus Fio:(Although if any bartender is a superhero-level bartender, it's Jay.  He's that good.)
PapatymisonN:(I dun wanna play Jay tonight. I wanna play one of my superheroes...)
MajorGeneralTso:(Even here, there are bars.  It is inescapable.)
Deus Fio:(I would play Jay poorly.)
PapatymisonN:(Which is why you're not gonna play him.(
MajorGeneralTso:(Boulder is underage...Hmmmm.)
Deus Fio:(Good!)
Deus Fio:(Eheh...so is Boreas, technically.)
PapatymisonN:(Ned Pierce-Collins is gonna bartend tonight. Note the initials...)
Deus Fio:(But since he's not going to provide ID, no one has to know Boreas's age.)
PapatymisonN:*Ned refuses to make anything but a normal Rum and Coke...*
Deus Fio:WHERE IS JASON?!
PapatymisonN:Ned: It's his night off.
Deus Fio:You are worthless to me and should cry.
MajorGeneralTso:(...)
Deus Fio:Gimme a beer, then.
PapatymisonN:*Ned shrugs and does so, kinda slowly...*
Deus Fio:There's a microbrew back there somewhere called Alien Space Beer.
Deus Fio:My name, or a colorful nickname, may or may not be on the case.
PapatymisonN:*the beer, alien in variety is provided...*
PapatymisonN:*meanwhile, a fellow in a shiny red exosuit enters the bar...*
PapatymisonN:*you notice that once he came in, the temperature rose a degree or two...*
Deus Fio:*drinks it, slightly sullen, wishing he could better express his individuality through the medium of booze*
MajorGeneralTso:(...I suppose I will engage you people in RPing for a little while...)
PapatymisonN:*the fellow plops down at the bar, next to Boreas, and pops off his helmet, revealing long, blonde hair...*
PapatymisonN:Dude! It is so HOT in that HELMET! Whew!
Deus Fio:<_< Can I fry an egg on you?
Deus Fio:Please?
PapatymisonN:Bartender dude, a lawnmower, if you please... and make it fa-ROSTAY... ^_^
PapatymisonN:*looks to Boreas* ... uh... fry an egg?
Deus Fio:Yeah.  On your armor.
PapatymisonN:Y'got one? I've never tried that before... ^_^
Deus Fio:It's, like, hot, right?
Deus Fio:Is that you or your suit that does that?
Deus Fio:I should carry an egg for just an occasion, but I totally don't.
PapatymisonN:*Ned provides Hothead with a mixture of wheatgrass juice and vodka*
MajorGeneralTso:*To those of you who know who she is, the next person to walk through the door is no surprise.  If you don't though...It's a bit weird.  A girl, seems to be 13 years old and barely over 5 feet in height, comes in*
PapatymisonN:Oh, it's me, dude.
PapatymisonN:I am the Bearer of The Sacred Flame, and all that... ^_^
Deus Fio:Let's get a water guy and an earth guy and make a party out of it.
Deus Fio:'Cuz I got wind.
PapatymisonN:Ned: Hey. Kid. Y'got any ID?
PapatymisonN:... then we only need an earthy guy, dude?
PapatymisonN:*!
Deus Fio:>_> Don't give him any!  Keep your secret identity a secret!  Run!
MajorGeneralTso:*She holds an ice cream cone in her hands and a sweater over her body, a bright yellow one with a purple face that looks like this: /\_/\ : emblazoned on it.  She looks around a bit confused before taking a seat at the bar*
Deus Fio:<_< Huh?  What'd you say?
Deus Fio:Oh.  Haha.
Deus Fio:Earth, Wind, and Fire.  I get it.
PapatymisonN:Totally awesome, ey dude!
PapatymisonN:?
PapatymisonN:^_^
Deus Fio:Don't smile like that, it's fucking creeping me out.
MajorGeneralTso:*Boulder sits on the other side of Boreas, jumping up on the seat and enjoying her creamy goodness in the presence of other Super Entities* ...
PapatymisonN:Whoa, whoa... you are SO harshing my vibe...
PapatymisonN:Ned: Well, kid? You got ID or not?
Deus Fio:(Boreas flatly refuses to share space with another crazy superhero.)
Deus Fio:(He gets antagonistic if someone's stealing his look-how-eccentric-he-is spotlight.)
MajorGeneralTso:...*Boulder blinks and looks at Ned with nothing written on her face* ...What kind of ID, Inquiry.
PapatymisonN:Ned: Something that says you're old enough to be here!
A Rockin SN:*walking in is Martin, a regular! ... tall, red hair, rather normal-looking really.*
Deus Fio:I'm sure her ID is her amazing powers of whatever.
MajorGeneralTso:...*Licks her ice cream*  My age is sufficient enough to be in most other places of gathering; Statement.
MajorGeneralTso:My...powers?
PapatymisonN:Ned: ... *nods and goes back to his business...*
Deus Fio:>_> Wait, so...what?
Deus Fio:*headscratchheadscratchheadscratchheadscratch*
PapatymisonN:Dude, dude, dude... you're gonna scratch open your head like that, man...
MajorGeneralTso:...He does not seem to be applying enough pressure to scratch off layers of his own flesh; Observation.
Deus Fio:<_< I'm the descendant of a god, y'know.
PapatymisonN:... cool.
PapatymisonN:Which one?
Deus Fio:Boreas.  I took his name as my superhero code name.
PapatymisonN:Excellent... you're a demigod bastard! ^_^
Deus Fio:<_<
PapatymisonN:... wait. Did your mom marry this guy? o.o
MajorGeneralTso:To be without a father must be difficult, Boreas; Observation.
A Rockin SN:*listens to the odd girl speak!*
Deus Fio:<_< Descendant, not son.
MajorGeneralTso:*Speaks up a storm very oddly!*
Deus Fio:He's my greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatwhatevergreat grandfather.
Deus Fio:>_> Why do you talk like that?
MajorGeneralTso:...Talk like what; Inquiry.
Deus Fio:After you speak, you're always, like, saying the type of sentence you said.
PapatymisonN:It's like... freaky. Like you're the MAN, or something. o.o
MajorGeneralTso:...I have no idea what it is to which you refer; Statement.
Deus Fio:<_< There is no man.
Deus Fio:Go back to bed. <_<
Deus Fio:>_>
Deus Fio:Like, you just said "Statement".
PapatymisonN:Well, yeah, there's no ONE MAN... but he's, like... THE MAN, y'know?
MajorGeneralTso:...*Calmly takes a bite out of her ice cream cone*  There are many men currently in this bar; observation.
Deus Fio:<_< >_>
Deus Fio:*beer*
Deus Fio:<_< >_>
PapatymisonN:But like, they're not THE man, man...
PapatymisonN:They're just, like, men.
PapatymisonN:The Man is who keeps the normal guy down forever!
Deus Fio:I'm the man, but I'm not the man.
PapatymisonN:The Man killed the electric car! The Man busted open the Juan Valdez and covered all those penguins in ol!
MajorGeneralTso:...You seem to be male, although if you say that you are not I cannot disagree, ma'am; statement.
Deus Fio:>_> I'm male, but I'm not the man.
PapatymisonN:*oil
MajorGeneralTso:Oh.
Deus Fio:You can say "Oh" without saying like, "Oh; interjection"?
MajorGeneralTso:...Why would I say something as awkward as what you have just refered to; inquiry.
Deus Fio:>_> Because...uh, nevermind.
A Rockin SN:IM: ... For once, Boreas said something making sense.
OMG Priam:*Another figure approaches, a clean-cut black man wearing a small set of spectacles, in a turtleneck. He is holding a book, with one finger in it to keep a page.*
MajorGeneralTso:...*Crunch, munch munch munch*
PapatymisonN:*w2Boreas* I wouldn't talk to her much, man... I think she's The Matrix...
OMG Priam:I'm sorry, would you mind keeping it down? I'm trying to read, here.
PapatymisonN:Oh. SORRY DUDE! ^_^
Deus Fio:We'll try to keep it down, except this isn't a library.
OMG Priam:I have become well aware of this, thank you.
Deus Fio:So what's in the book?
OMG Priam:Nothing that would interest you terribly, I think.
PapatymisonN:Dude, I'll buy you a drink. *asks Ned for a lawnmower and carries it over to the fella's table*
PapatymisonN:Yo, so like, this is a lawnmower. It's got, y'know, wheatgrass and vodka and some grenadine to sweeten it up...
PapatymisonN:It's REALLY good. You'll like it.
PapatymisonN:*puts it on the table* From me to you, man. From me to you.
MajorGeneralTso:...Last I recall, lawnmowers were much larger and louder than that object; observation.  *Watches Hothead with his drink*
OMG Priam:....I appreciate it. *looks like he doesn't.*
OMG Priam:*sits, opens up the book. Reads. God, that thing looks old and dusty.*
PapatymisonN:... DUDE... that is one SWEET lookin' old tome! ^_^
PapatymisonN:Are you, like, a wizard, or somethin'? o.o
OMG Priam:No, not quite.
OMG Priam:.....
OMG Priam:*Produces a piece of chalk from a box in his briefcase, which lay on the table.*
OMG Priam:*He draws a line on the floor, between himself and the other man.*
OMG Priam:*And snaps his fingers.*
OMG Priam:I don't mean to be rude, but I need some study time with this.
OMG Priam:*Begins reading the book again. Is that thing even in English?*
Deus Fio:>_>
Deus Fio:?
PapatymisonN:...
PapatymisonN:o.o OK, dude...
PapatymisonN:But YOU need to work on your attitude...
PapatymisonN:*heads back to the bar*
MajorGeneralTso:...I am curious as to the significance of the chalk line...*Seems to be talking to Boreas, but doesn't really look at him or anything*
MajorGeneralTso:...Statement.
PapatymisonN:Probably, like, some magic "Ooh I can't cross it line" thing...
MajorGeneralTso:...Perhaps you should see if that is indeed the case; suggestion.  *Crunch...Munch munch munch.*
PapatymisonN:... nah. He made his point, I'll respect his vibe. *nod*
Deus Fio:<_<
Deus Fio:*beer*
MajorGeneralTso:*Ice Cream Cone*
OMG Priam:*fiddles with the pages on the book a little bit.*
PapatymisonN:*wheatgrass*
Deus Fio:*beer*
OMG Priam:*turns the pages one after the other, fairly quickly. All the while having a disdainful look on his face.*
OMG Priam:*he shakes his head, and puts the glasses in a glasses case, which goes into the briefcase.*
PapatymisonN:... *kinda lookin' back at him...*
OMG Priam:*FOOMPH goes the book as it is closed, and it too enters the briefcase. He gets a piece of some sort of cloth out, and snaps his fingers.*
OMG Priam:*After wiping the chalk line off the floor, he puts the handkerchief back in the briefcase too, and approaches the others again, drink in hand.*
Deus Fio:>_>
MajorGeneralTso:*Finishes off her Ice Cream Cone as she watches the bookish man* ...
OMG Priam:I'm sorry, I apologize for my conduct earlier.
Deus Fio:*beer*
PapatymisonN:Glad you decided to join us, wizard dude. ^_^
Deus Fio:That should be your superhero name.  Wizard Dude.
Deus Fio:Or The Amazing Wizard Dude.
OMG Priam:Superhero name?
PapatymisonN:No, no, that should be his nickname.
OMG Priam:.....
PapatymisonN:His REAL wizard name could be... uh...
Deus Fio:The Great Wizardo?
PapatymisonN:... dude, I was going to say something totally different, but I am SO on board with that! ^_^
OMG Priam:*looks at his drink, seems to reconcile something in his mind, and takes a sip at it.*
PapatymisonN:*Wheatgrass, vodka, and grenadine for sweetness. You be the judge.*
MajorGeneralTso:...That name seems to be rather...childish; Opinion.
OMG Priam:(DICE ARE THE VICTOR)
OnlineHost:OMG Priam rolled 1 10-sided die:  2
Deus Fio:>_> You talk funny; Opinion.
OMG Priam:*clears his throat aberrantly*
MajorGeneralTso:You are also rather awkward; Opinion.
PapatymisonN:So, what DO ya call yourself, wizard dude?
OMG Priam:*coughs a little, apparently this drink is not quite to his tastes.* Ahem! Wooh. Pardon.
OMG Priam:My name is...well, you can call me Ken.
MajorGeneralTso:(...Hey.  Me too.)
MajorGeneralTso:Nice to make your aquintance, Ken; greeting.
blender_bunny@mac.com:(I'll let you be my body guard and you can call me Al >_>?)
PapatymisonN:I... am Hothead.
OMG Priam:Your mother must have been very creative.
PapatymisonN:It is most excellent to meet you. ^_^
OMG Priam:....I'm sorry, that was uncalledfor. It is good to meet you, Hothead.
PapatymisonN:... oh. Sorry, dude. Got a secret ID goin' on.
blender_bunny@mac.com:(Gaera 1st gen?)
OMG Priam:(Nope)
PapatymisonN:*hand out for shakin'!*
OMG Priam:(Modern superheroes bar)
OMG Priam:*accepts, and shakes!*
blender_bunny@mac.com:(What have I doooooone =p)
OMG Priam:And you as well......? *to HK-talkin'-like*
OMG Priam:(Made chats more awesome?)
Deus Fio:I'm Boreas, by the way.  Boreas the Wind-Wielder.
MajorGeneralTso:My call sign is Boulder.
OMG Priam:Boulder, then, and Boreas.
OMG Priam:*nods in greeting*
OMG Priam:.....*sips again. A similar reaction.*
Deus Fio:>_> "Boulder"?
PapatymisonN:... o.o
Deus Fio:...what are your powers?
PapatymisonN:EARTH WIND AND FIRE! ^_____^
Deus Fio:<_< Dude, I know.  Shut up.
OMG Priam:Not an entirely bad band.
MajorGeneralTso:...*Silently wishes she had more ice cream, kind of staring listlessly at nothing*
MajorGeneralTso:(Sorry, was taking out the garbage.)
PapatymisonN:Well? Are you into the art of earthbending...
PapatymisonN:?>
OMG Priam:*stands.* Pardon me, I'll be right back. *He heads for the restroom.*
blender_bunny@mac.com:*A man in a yellow three piece suit emerges from the restroom, nobody saw him enter it, but he certainly did exit from it.*
MajorGeneralTso:Oh.  My powers do involve...the earth, in a sense, yes; Explanation.
PapatymisonN:... Earth Wind and Fire...
PapatymisonN:... o.o Dude. Who cares if it's copyright infringement...
PapatymisonN:Let's start a supergroup with that name! We'd be SOOOOOOO awesome!
MajorGeneralTso:I regret to inform you that I already exist in another group; Statement.
PapatymisonN:Well, hey, you can always be in two, dudette.
Deus Fio:Nah.  Not really.
Deus Fio:I think I signed an agreement that I can only consider myself a Madman.
MajorGeneralTso:...It seems I cannot; statement.
blender_bunny@mac.com:*The Yellow man sits down at the bar as it is the appropriate thing to do at bars*
PapatymisonN:Dude, you guys are MADMEN? You so gotta get me in!
MajorGeneralTso:...I signed no such agreement to the Madmen...
Deus Fio:Yeah, I'm a Madman.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Aren't we all, hmm?
PapatymisonN:Get me in. PLEASE get me in.
MajorGeneralTso:It seems membership in the group is much larger than I had anticipated...;Surprise.
Deus Fio:...no.
Deus Fio:I don't have that power.
Deus Fio:Or I totally would.
Deus Fio:(How many people are in the Madmen?)
PapatymisonN:(It's not everyone. I thought ol' Oniichan was referring to someone who was actually insane for a second there...)
MajorGeneralTso:(...I have no idea.)
Deus Fio:(Oh, I know all that.  I was actually asking the question because I don't know.)
Deus Fio:(By the way, did anyone think to invite Lex to the RP?)
blender_bunny@mac.com:(Actually I was referring to mental insanity rather than the group >_>)
PapatymisonN:(I doubt she'll be able to join. Homework.)
Deus Fio:(Ach.)
Lithaladhwen:(Holy crap. Lookit all the people.)
MajorGeneralTso:(Hey...You're back.)
Lithaladhwen:(Brian's computer. My SN.)
MajorGeneralTso:(Oh.  I see then.)
PapatymisonN:(Boreas, my hero Hothead, Ken's char Boulder, Priam's guy Ken, and Oniichan's Man In Yellow...)
Syra Zemyla:(And I was going to enter right about now, since I've come to a stopping point in my homework. Also, typing XML rapes the shift key and I wanted to give it a break.)
Lithaladhwen:(Ah, Boreas.)
blender_bunny@mac.com:(Doctor Prometheus, probably the worst choice for this RP ever <3)
Syra Zemyla:*A young man in a gray business suit bolts into the bar. He glances rapidly at everyone in it and then slumps into a chair.* I don't know what I'm going to do.
PapatymisonN:(Doctors do well in Superheroes.)
blender_bunny@mac.com:(Hahaha yeah 'docotr' >_>)
Deus Fio:<_< About what?
Deus Fio:IM: Please don't tell me someone just went into O'Herlihy's to ask us to do something.
Syra Zemyla:I've broken my programming. His commands no longer apply to me. And I think I got rid of the tracking device.
Syra Zemyla:The next set of infiltration robots he makes probably won't have true sentience, I think.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Oh my robots! This is my favorite kind of place, the place with robots that is, they don't have those yet back where I come from.
MajorGeneralTso:...I desire more ice cream...;statement.  *Hops off her bar stool and disappears outside the door*
PapatymisonN:... robots?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Nothing says you love a woman like getting a robotic duplicate of her.
Deus Fio:Sometimes I feel like I'm the only normal one here.  It's creepy.
PapatymisonN:I saw that episode of Buffy... REALLY cool...
FFFan80:(I NEED A SYS... I mean, current lurker =(  )
MajorGeneralTso:(...I'm lurking now.  <.<...)
Syra Zemyla:He probably will be looking for me. I know too much for him to let me live, but not enough to be safe from him.
Lithaladhwen:(I'll play. I just need to upload some things and post a thing and then I'll be with you.)
PapatymisonN:(Yes ma'am.)
PapatymisonN:Wait, so... you're from Buffy? o.o
blender_bunny@mac.com:I am not.
Syra Zemyla:...no, I'm not.
FFFan80:(When you can, shoot me an IM!)
Syra Zemyla:*glances at the man in yellow*
PapatymisonN:Awwwwwwww...
blender_bunny@mac.com:*Waves back*
PapatymisonN:I LOVE that show, though...
Lithaladhwen:(....the fuck?)
Deus Fio:People who aren't real aren't real.
Lithaladhwen:(Thank you, Boreas. Oh my God.)
blender_bunny@mac.com:You know there is a place where they go on to become president?
blender_bunny@mac.com:It will become the roughest military coup ever recorded in human history.
Deus Fio:>_> Wha?
PapatymisonN:... naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Time Paradox.
PapatymisonN:I'd NEVER let that happen.
Deus Fio:Oh, you're some kinda time guy thing?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well yes and no.
OMG Priam:*returns*
PapatymisonN:Hey Ken.
Syra Zemyla:Perhaps this was a mistake.
OMG Priam:*nods*
Syra Zemyla:But at least I'm safer here.
OMG Priam:*To Hothead, that is.*
OMG Priam:(Description:
OMG Priam:*Another figure approaches, a clean-cut black man wearing a small set of spectacles, in a turtleneck. He is holding a book, with one finger in it to keep a page.*)
OMG Priam:(Except the book is now in his briefcase.)
Lithaladhwen:(Where are people?)
Deus Fio:(At the bar, everyone.)
Deus Fio:(O'Herlihy's, except Jay's not working tonight.)
Deus Fio:(There's a barman named Ned filling in who sucks because he won't mix Boreas his Special Rum and Coke.)
OMG Priam:*to <Zem> and <BlenderOni>* I'm sorry, we have not been introduced. I am Ken. *offers a hand to shake*
Lithaladhwen:(Incidentally, I have art of Nicki. I need help picking final version things. )
Syra Zemyla:*oddly, this seems to comfort him a little. He shakes the proferred hand* Good to meet you. I am James Wyatt.
OMG Priam:(I vote A)
Lithaladhwen:(You can vote in the thread, y'know.)
OMG Priam:(I would, but, well, you know.)
Deus Fio:<_< And you're, what, a robot?
PapatymisonN:... coooooooool...
blender_bunny@mac.com:I am Mr. Prometheus or Doctor where I don't need a permit or evaluation to practice.
Lithaladhwen:(....I... I don't, actually.)
Syra Zemyla:Yes, I am.
OMG Priam:(You may languish in your ignorance of my laziness, then! MAHAHAHAHA.)
PapatymisonN:Doctor's more impressive, dude...
Deus Fio:That's cool.  I'm a hemi-semi-demigod.
OMG Priam:...Is that one eighth of a god? Or a god on eighteen wheels with a special engine filtration?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Oh a hemi-semi, how interesting!
KnightsofSquare:(Brilliant.)
Deus Fio:Well, I'm, like, more than an eighth.
blender_bunny@mac.com:I'm one hundred percent cthonic ichor in mortal frame.
Deus Fio:Err, less than an eighth, rather.
Deus Fio:The denominator is...like...higher.
OMG Priam:Can you perform weddings?
Deus Fio:Because my god ancestor was a long, long, time ago.
KnightsofSquare:(Who can't?)
Deus Fio:>_> Uh....
Deus Fio:I've...never...tried?
OMG Priam:Funerals?
Deus Fio:*shrug*
Deus Fio:Idunno.
PapatymisonN:... don't think so, dude...
OMG Priam:So you're somewhere between a divine personal incarnation and an altar boy?
blender_bunny@mac.com:I can perform weddings, I'm a doctor afterall and I've washed my hands.
OMG Priam:I'm pretty sure hygiene is not typically considered a requirement for presiding over a wedding.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Ah but it is a perk!
OMG Priam:I can't argue with that.
blender_bunny@mac.com:And honestly who wants dirty fingers in their mouth?
OMG Priam:Ah! Tender, excuse me. A faceplant, if you don't mind.
OMG Priam:....
OMG Priam:Are these bulimic weddings you've been attending?
KnightsofSquare:(Well, vore weddings work better when the parties involved are also bulimic)
blender_bunny@mac.com:I don't know... *Smiles*
Lithaladhwen:(Ah, vore. Good times.)
Deus Fio:What the hell is going on here today?
blender_bunny@mac.com:(And by good you mean DO NOT WANT)
Deus Fio:Are they handing out trial packs of crazy pills at the door?!
blender_bunny@mac.com:They have those here?
OMG Priam:I hope not.
OMG Priam:The clientele is odd enough as it is.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well honestly they're just sugar pills.
Syra Zemyla:So... you're saying that the people here are even weirder than I have heard?
PapatymisonN:YOU BET, DUDE! ^_^
Syra Zemyla:...wow. I'm impressed.
OMG Priam:Don't be. It's not necessarily a benefit.
blender_bunny@mac.com:It comes with the job description.
Lithaladhwen:*A girl in a dark green sweater decides to stop into Ye Olde "Everybody Goes There" Public House.*
Lithaladhwen:(She looks like these things until I decide on a single one. )
Lithaladhwen:<Nicki>
OMG Priam:So. *to Hothead*
PapatymisonN:Yeah, dude?
OMG Priam:Did you ever find your fourth and fifth elements?
PapatymisonN:Nah, never found Water and Heart...
OMG Priam:....Heart?
Deus Fio:*nods, sagely*(
OMG Priam:I was talking about Metal, but whatever you prefer.
Deus Fio:Go, Planet.
PapatymisonN:... oh. OK.
Lithaladhwen:*She sits down and orders herself a little grapefruit soda thing.*
KnightsofSquare:(Does he already have Wood?)
Lithaladhwen:(He has not enough minerals.)
PapatymisonN:I thought it was either Heart or Milla Jovovich...
Deus Fio:(Now that Nicki's here, yeah.)
Lithaladhwen:(....)
KnightsofSquare:(:hifive:)
Deus Fio:(*hifive*)
Syra Zemyla:(Does anyone have sheep? I've got Wood for Sheep.)
KnightsofSquare:(Glad someone recognizes a setup)
Deus Fio:(Glad to be of service.)
PapatymisonN:(I want Brick, Zem.)
PapatymisonN:(I want it now.)
OMG Priam:(GIVE IT TO ME BABY)
Lithaladhwen:(Uh huh! Uh huh!)
Lithaladhwen:(Also, about what time is it in-bar?)
blender_bunny@mac.com:Heart? I have one of those!
Deus Fio:(I enjoy Metro City because we can make references to modern-day pop culture.)
PapatymisonN:(About 20 minutes to midnight.)
PapatymisonN:(I'd say...)
OMG Priam:(Works for me)
Lithaladhwen:(Heh. So it goes.)
Lithaladhwen:*She notes that Boreas the Very Important Established Hero is here again.*
Deus Fio:*He's very important, established, and a hero!*
Lithaladhwen:IM: Oh, wonderful. I'm sure he'll come up and demand to know what color panties I wear lest I be a threat to his people.
Deus Fio:(At least tonight Boreas isn't the only one visibly in costume)
OMG Priam:*is neither important, established, or a hero. DISCUSS*
PapatymisonN:(Um... Hothead's in red metallic ARMOR...)
blender_bunny@mac.com:Hmm at least I think I do... *Shoves a hand into his yellow suit to search*
Lithaladhwen:("Isn't" says Spleen.)
PapatymisonN:(I can't read. I'm completely illiterate...)
PapatymisonN:(I RP via mind reading! I'M SORRY! *runs off crying*)
OMG Priam:(GO HANG OUT IN A SUPERHEROES BAR, YA FREAK)
Syra Zemyla:(Hmm. I have to go in about 20 minutes. I'll try to wrap up my thing kind of soon.)
PapatymisonN:(Sorrow.)
FFFan80:(I have a character idea... but it's not gonna work unless a) a simliar character appears or b) someone currently in the bar crossed paths in the past)
FFFan80:(Any takers? >_>; )
OMG Priam:Well, Jovanovich WAS a pretty good fifth element.
OMG Priam:(I can do eet!)
PapatymisonN:That she was, dude...
PapatymisonN:That little suspenders thing she wore was AWESOME... ^_^
OMG Priam:That it was. *drinks his new beverage* That it was.
Deus Fio:I've never been a big fan of Bruce Willis is anything but present-day movies.
Deus Fio:He's not believable as a man from the future.
Deus Fio:...he was in that, wasn't he?
Syra Zemyla:Meh. She wasn't my favorite character. I kind of liked Sorg better.
blender_bunny@mac.com:(Argh Nick is making me want to make Richard come back)
PapatymisonN:Sorg? Which one was that, man?
OMG Priam:The villain.
OMG Priam:Well, sort of.
Syra Zemyla:The bad guy. He was bald except for a small ponytail and had an awesome gun.
PapatymisonN:Oh, THAT guy...
OMG Priam:Pudding sometimes came out of his headpiece.
PapatymisonN:Yeah, he was cool...
PapatymisonN:He never met Corbin, y'know... Did you notice that?
OMG Priam:I thought....well, that's true, he left just before Corben showed up.
OMG Priam:That's fitting, because I didn't find him a terribly compelling villain.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Oh he wasn't a villain, just a business man.
PapatymisonN:A villain whose gun tagged people...
OMG Priam:Right. And that was interesting, but beyond that, his usefulness and depth were very limited.
blender_bunny@mac.com:What is with depth and you people? Sometimes being flat is just as interesting.
OMG Priam:There are places and times for that.
Deus Fio:We're very deep people.
blender_bunny@mac.com:I only see three sides to you, not even a fourth or a fifth.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well perhaps I do, I'm a compulsive liar.
Lithaladhwen:(We don't need your silly sides.)
OMG Priam:Did you come from a logic problem?
Lithaladhwen:(On the moon we have five. Thousand. Five thousand.)
OMG Priam:If so, that would be really, really neat.
Deus Fio:I have a multifaceted personality.
FFFan80:*'Ken' may get the feeling someone is staring at him*
Deus Fio:And power over the wind!
OMG Priam:So I hear.
OMG Priam:.....
blender_bunny@mac.com:Actually I came from the late night janitorial staff, which is just as neat. *Slowly begins to disappear on one dimension* If you can see what's interesting about sweeping and swabbing.
OMG Priam:Is it cold in here?
PapatymisonN:... so how big are your farts, dude?
Lithaladhwen:(Picked one. Huzzah.)
PapatymisonN:^_^
Lithaladhwen:IM: Power over the wind.
Lithaladhwen:IM: That's great. One of the flying ones, of which there are a startling number.
Lithaladhwen:IM: I still think that's bizarre.
OMG Priam:*drinks, finishes the glass. Orders another, and stands up while Ned takes his time making it.*
OMG Priam:*looking around for something...*
Deus Fio:My farts rock the heaven.
Lithaladhwen:IM: It's a wonder nobody is studying the frequency and power of... well, of their powers.
Lithaladhwen:*chokes on her soda*
FFFan80:*for a brief moment, he may catch the briefest glimps of someone with sunglasses looking...*
PapatymisonN:...
PapatymisonN:DUDE!
FFFan80:*...well, more like glaring, at him*
PapatymisonN:Eat some beans!
Lithaladhwen:Please.
Lithaladhwen:Don't.
FFFan80:*But shortly, said face is covered by today's paper*
OMG Priam:Excuse me, gentlemen.
PapatymisonN:*flicks his thumb, and flames stand out of it* ^___________^
Deus Fio:...
Lithaladhwen:...
Deus Fio:Dude, I like this bar.
FFFan80:*Apparently, the local police are being accused of taking bribes again.  Oh, you silly paper headlines*
OMG Priam:*Walks over to PaperMan, and puts a hand on his shoulder.*
OMG Priam:*in a low voice...* How goes it?
FFFan80:......
blender_bunny@mac.com:It goes well.
FFFan80:*sighs* I should have known better.
FFFan80:You always were so damn observant
OMG Priam:You have to be, when you have special abilities and have a tendency towards intellectual fields. It makes one's schooling rather unpleasant, you know.
Lithaladhwen:IM: ...they're not... going to fight are they? Here?
FFFan80:*The man wears a traditional navy blue business suit, and sunglases that cover his eyes entirely*
Syra Zemyla:(Anyways, I have to go, WTF everyone.)
OMG Priam:(LATER)
blender_bunny@mac.com:*Removes a banana from his coat pocket*
FFFan80:*Has his black hair tied back into a single, long ponytail*
FFFan80:...come to gloat, I suppose.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Oh most holy of potasium based products!
OMG Priam:Hardly, just checking up on you. A man's gotta make a life somehow, right? And times are tough when you quit a job.
FFFan80:*appears to be reading an interesting article on the local schoolboard*
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:It was more of a hostile takeover
OMG Priam:Whatever the circumstances, you're better for it.
FFFan80:Am I, now?
OMG Priam:Come on, have a seat up there with the rest of us. It'll do you good to get some social interaction.
FFFan80:*hmphs*
FFFan80:Yes, I'm sure they're more than happy to welcome me with open fireballs and eyebeams...
blender_bunny@mac.com:*Puts the banana to his ear and concerned look goes over his 2-dimensional face* I'll be right there, Mr. President!
blender_bunny@mac.com:</EXIT DR. PROMETHEUS>
Lithaladhwen:(You leaving, Oniichan?)
FFFan80:*looks again at the paper... friggin Boston Celtics lost again, what the hell.*
Lithaladhwen:(XD Cripes, Dave.)
PapatymisonN:(*goes to freshen himself up so he can keep RPing*)
blender_bunny@mac.com:(No but Doctor Prometheus is from a god level game of Mutants and Masterminds, made it kind of hard to relate XD)
Lithaladhwen:(I see!)
OMG Priam:Nobody's going to attack you, here of all places. And you know I'm trying to help your situation so you can walk the streets at night.
OMG Priam:Well, in a more civil manner than you had before.
Lithaladhwen:....
FFFan80:I would not be in this situation to begin with, were it not for you.
FFFan80:...'technically' speaking, of course.
Lithaladhwen:*feels a sudden creepy "there's a terrible person nearby and I should run" sort of feeling*
OMG Priam:You'll come to like it. But you can't just hide from everyone. That's what got you into your addiction in the first place.
Lithaladhwen:(Oh, hey. It's been twenty minutes. It's midnight.)
FFFan80:...*snickers* addiction.  Is that what they're calling it now.
Lithaladhwen:*Nick's watch alarm beeps quietly and she pulls out her little prescription vial from her purse.*
OMG Priam:As far as I'm concerned, last time we met was an intervention.
Lithaladhwen:*Hot pill in mouth action and the meds are swallowed. Wasn't that exciting.*
OMG Priam:You had a problem. And you are in a process of renewal, taking steps to make your life better.
PapatymisonN:*there's a crash outside*
Lithaladhwen:*stops her eavesdropping to glance toward the door*
Deus Fio:*Boreas once again tries to get a good look at the pill and pill bottle.*
PapatymisonN:>.> You're kidding me. Right at the strike of the clock.
PapatymisonN:Dude, this is NOT cool...
Lithaladhwen:(Same bottle he saw yesterday.)
FFFan80:And it's 'certainly' looking much b...
FFFan80:...What in the nine hells was that.
PapatymisonN:Monday villain.
Lithaladhwen:*looks around to see if anyone is going to go check*
PapatymisonN:Be right back, dudes!
OMG Priam:Great.
FFFan80:....
PapatymisonN:*heads out the door...*
FFFan80:And who was that obvious simpleton?
Deus Fio:...Monday villains can show up at exactly midnight on Sunday night?!
blender_bunny@mac.com:*A brown haired man wearing a leather jacket enters the bar again, for some reason he's clean shaven tonight, it's rather frightening*
blender_bunny@mac.com:(INSECTOID LAD!)
OMG Priam:That is a man calling himself Hothead.
FFFan80:....
Lithaladhwen:...
FFFan80:Somehow, I sense the name is appropriate
OMG Priam:I dared not investigate that particular matter.
Lithaladhwen:I'm glad sometimes I don't have a... a stage name.
Lithaladhwen:*down into her glass* Hothead.
Deus Fio:I'm gonna go help him.
OMG Priam:*notes her* I agree, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*the non-code named woman feels a... well, not so chilling stare... damn sunglasses*
Lithaladhwen:*glances up abruptly in the "oh shit I've been noticed" way before nodding back*
FFFan80:...a 'friend' of yours?
Deus Fio:*unslings his bow, spins around in his chair to he's facing the door, and tumbles toward the door*
Lithaladhwen:*looks back to the sharp-dressed creepy man before getting wigged out and looking back down into her glass*
OMG Priam:Not exactly, although I can't say I don't feel a bit of respect for her already.
PapatymisonN:*wearing his mask, and sitting, crosslegged, around a ring of fire*
Lithaladhwen:*man that carbonation is fascinating*
Deus Fio:Oh, you're...it's done, huh?
Deus Fio:It wasn't, like, the Son of Dinosaur Cadillac, was it?
PapatymisonN:*in the centre is the pseudo-infamous villain Dr. Spectromos, who uses the POWER OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM or something, who cares, he's caught*
Lithaladhwen:(Ha.)
blender_bunny@mac.com:I don't assume you were planning on this reunion. *Sits down at the bar in the suave manner that only has beens can*
Lithaladhwen:(Classic.)
PapatymisonN:Nah. Spectromos.
Lithaladhwen:....No, I... I wasn't. I just came again. I didn't... mean to do that.
PapatymisonN:*waves to the guy*
Lithaladhwen:Sorry.
Deus Fio:(Boreas is mildly obsessed with Dinosaur Cadillac.)
OMG Priam:Come on, here's a good chance. Not many people there now, you don't have to be afraid of them. *gestures 'over there' with his head*
blender_bunny@mac.com:No problem, it's a pleasant surprise.
Lithaladhwen:Oh.
Lithaladhwen:Okay.
Lithaladhwen:*nods*
PapatymisonN:I can't believe I got caught so QUICKLY... v_v
Deus Fio:(Oh, Cha, can you send me that log?  You said you found it, right?)
OMG Priam:(Er, he gestured to Mr. Shades, not to her)
OMG Priam:(My bad)
PapatymisonN:(Oh, sure man!)
Lithaladhwen:(She was addressing Richard.)
OMG Priam:(Wow, wires = crossed!)
Lithaladhwen:(Hakuna matata.)
FFFan80:(brief afk, sorry)
blender_bunny@mac.com:It's probably healthy for you, getting out more often.
Deus Fio:(Ain't no passin' c-raze)
Lithaladhwen:*shrugs* Probably.
Lithaladhwen:*low voice* Though that guy in the suit is really... do you know who that is?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Mmmm not a clue.
Lithaladhwen:*little nod* ...okay.
Lithaladhwen:So, um. Do you... do you want a drink?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Why? Is he bothering you? Planning to set the city aflame?
Lithaladhwen:IM: That's what you do, right? You offer people drinks.
Lithaladhwen:I... no. He's... he's fine. He's just... I don't know.
FFFan80:(back)
blender_bunny@mac.com:Shifty?
PapatymisonN:*has a cell phone* Callin' the cops, by the way...
Lithaladhwen:He's.... yes.
FFFan80:...
Lithaladhwen:He's shifty.
FFFan80:*leans the paper down and... does not look happy with 'Ken'*
blender_bunny@mac.com:It's the sunglasses, sunglasses indoors makes you shifty.
FFFan80:I fear NOTHING, understood?
OMG Priam:So this should be no problem, right?
Lithaladhwen:*mutters, vaguely annoyed* And staring at me over your paper.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*silently curses logic*
blender_bunny@mac.com:But yes I'd love that drink.
FFFan80:Very well, I'll indulge this for now.
Lithaladhwen:Yes. Yeah, sure.
OMG Priam:Thanks.
Lithaladhwen:Um. Whatever you want. S'on me.
OMG Priam:*heads over to the others! Who, largely, are different from before, but hey, they're in some kind of direction!*
PapatymisonN:*takes off his helmet* ... ... Hi. Hey Jerry. Hothead. .... yeah, got a pickup, dude. ... oh. Spectromos. You let him out? ... ... *laughs* A Spectral drill? You're kiddin', dude! Jeez... ok, 20 minutes? OK, no problem. Flame will last twice that long, man... See ya.
PapatymisonN:*takes off his helmet* ... ... Hi. Hey Jerry. Hothead. .... yeah, got a pickup, dude. ... oh. Spectromos. You let him out? ... ... *laughs* A Spectral drill? You're kiddin', dude!
PapatymisonN:Jeez... ok, 20 minutes? OK, no problem. Flame will last twice that long, man... See ya.
FFFan80:*follows, keeping his hands in his pockets*
OMG Priam:Excuse me, are these seats taken? *to said others!*
Lithaladhwen:....*flicks her gaze up to Yon Creepy Man*
Lithaladhwen:...no.
FFFan80:*briefly acknowledges her physical presense*
blender_bunny@mac.com:Whiskey on the rocks, Barman.
OMG Priam:Thanks. *pulls a chair out for himself and the suit*
Deus Fio:*wanders back inside and gets back onto his stool*
Deus Fio:Dr. Spectromos.
FFFan80:*takes, and sits*
PapatymisonN:*does the same. Flame doesn't need him...*
OMG Priam:Introductions: My name is Ken, and this is....he's....Shades.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*there's that unhappy look again*
PapatymisonN:Hey shades.
PapatymisonN:Eye lasers?
Lithaladhwen:IM: Shades.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Ken, that sounds like a nice sane name.
Lithaladhwen:IM: He just gets more comforting by the moment.
Lithaladhwen:It's a real name.
OMG Priam:It's not actually my real name, but I've found it easier to pronounce.
Lithaladhwen:*jerks a thumb toward herself* Veronica. Or Nick.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Richard.
FFFan80:...*raises an eyebrow*
OMG Priam:Is that Rich, Rick, or Dick?
blender_bunny@mac.com:...Rick.
PapatymisonN:(Go with Dickie!)
OMG Priam:Veronica and Rick, then. A pleasure. *extends a hand*
Lithaladhwen:*surreptitiously wipes her hand on her jeans before shaking*
Lithaladhwen:Hi.
blender_bunny@mac.com:*Shakes his hand*
PapatymisonN:What?
PapatymisonN:It's not like that doesn't happen...
FFFan80:(?)
PapatymisonN:(He raised his eyebrow at the prospect of eye lasers...)
FFFan80:(Oh)
OMG Priam:Please excuse Shades here, he's, well, going through a bit of a withdrawal. It's hard to stay clean, you know, after you've been on the wrong side of the tracks for a certain amount of time.
OMG Priam:So he may be a little taciturn, but he won't bite.
Lithaladhwen:Withdrawal, huh. *shrugs* Everyone's got a habit. It's not that important.
PapatymisonN:*nods, and turns to Shades* Dude, I accept you.
Deus Fio:I'm Boreas.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:You know nothing about me.
PapatymisonN:I am Hothead, and I'm honored to meet you. *nod*
FFFan80:For all you know, I am the most horrible example of life. 
FFFan80:That is not the wisest way to approach those you don't know...
Lithaladhwen:IM: It's okay, Shades. I'm willing to believe that.
FFFan80:*sips water*
PapatymisonN:Dude. I. Accept. You. ^_^
FFFan80:....
OMG Priam:*merely drinks*
FFFan80:And?
Lithaladhwen:*raises a hand tentatively* I don't. Yet. I hope that's okay.
FFFan80:Shall I tape a smiley face sticker onto your forehead, then?
PapatymisonN:... can you put it on my helmet!
PapatymisonN:?
FFFan80:*glances over*
PapatymisonN:*shows it to him*
FFFan80:...you are wise to be cautious
Deus Fio:IM: Motherfucker, stop being weirder than I am.
FFFan80:The good heroes tend to live longer that way.
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:e_e
Lithaladhwen:I'm not cautious. *quieter* I just don't like you.
FFFan80:I was being facetious, you...
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*clenches fist*
FFFan80:I was simply making a point.
Lithaladhwen:*sips her soda and gets even quieter* You're very rude. You stare at people.
PapatymisonN:... OK...
Lithaladhwen:I would like it if you didn't.
PapatymisonN:(Oh, man... they just played another Peter Griffin vs. The Chicken scene...)
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:What I choose to look at... child... is my buisness, not yours.
OMG Priam:*elbows him under the table*
FFFan80:*winces*
Lithaladhwen:My mother taught me not to stare at people when I was little. Share your toys, don't bite, and don't stare.
Lithaladhwen:So please don't stare at me.
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:*eyebrow raises again*
OMG Priam:Truly life lessons.
PapatymisonN:... I still accept you, dude.
FFFan80:...
Lithaladhwen:(*laugh* Well-played. )
FFFan80:...I believe I have seen your face before.
PapatymisonN:... oh. Oh, yeah, probably... or at least, my helmet...
PapatymisonN:^_^
FFFan80:Ah, yes, I recall now
Lithaladhwen:IM: Why is he so friendly? This man is a stranger and he's just... just... talking to him like that.
Lithaladhwen:IM: How does he do that?
FFFan80:It was an editorial piece.
FFFan80:Something involving you... and fire to an apartment building
FFFan80:*sips drink*
PapatymisonN:... I put it out afterwards...
FFFan80:The author did not sound pleased with your work.
PapatymisonN:>.>
FFFan80:Do you always approach your work with such caution and careful planning?
Lithaladhwen:IM: Are you always so needlessly confrontational?
FFFan80:(...yes ._. )
Lithaladhwen:(Ha.)
FFFan80:(dude, he was a villian.  old habits die hard =( )
Lithaladhwen:(I don't hold it against him. I think I like him.)
PapatymisonN:... I put it out after...
FFFan80:...I'll take that as a no. *sips drink again*
Lithaladhwen:*finishes her soda and fidgets with the can idly*
blender_bunny@mac.com:*Sips his drink* You know, aliens are real bastards.
FFFan80: ...
Lithaladhwen:...
Lithaladhwen:Oh.
Lithaladhwen:Okay. Duly ...duly noted.
FFFan80:*eyebrow raises again in his direction*
PapatymisonN:... depends on the alien.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Wait about um... Twenty years.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Maybe thirty.
OMG Priam:I suppose that's slightly more comforting than them being fake bastards, hm?
FFFan80:...twenty years for... what?
PapatymisonN:I guess...
Deus Fio:(I gotta go!)
PapatymisonN:(Kay! Exit proper, dude!)
OMG Priam:(Boreas: I gotta go!)
Deus Fio:I gotta go!
PapatymisonN:Madmen stuff?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well in twenty years you get to see aliens being bastards.
Deus Fio:If by "madmen stuff" you mean...uh...sleep, yeah.
FFFan80:.....
OMG Priam:Well, it was a pleasure to meet you.
PapatymisonN:Oh, alright. Later, Boreas dude!
Deus Fio:Although if duty calls, then yeah, Madmen stuff.
PapatymisonN:*throws up the horns* Earth, Wind and Fire! ^_^
Deus Fio:Nice to meet all of you!  I go here a lot 'cuz I'm a drunk and whatever.
FFFan80:*w to 'Ken'* ...is that one... one of the clairvoyant?
OMG Priam:*w* I don't really make it my business to know. They're here to drink and relax away from their daily work, so I don't bring them back into it.
Deus Fio:Earth, Wind and, Fire, also occasionally with Water and Heart and the order changed up and Go Planet!
Deus Fio:>_> <_<
Lithaladhwen:Well, I guess knowing is... is half the battle. The other half being stopping them, and maybe we'll... be better able to... to handle them then.
FFFan80:.....
Lithaladhwen:IM: That was a Captain Planet reference. He... he said that.
blender_bunny@mac.com:I wonder if my liver will hold twenty years...
FFFan80:The wonders that modern multimedia has bestowed upon our culture... *sigh*
Deus Fio:(Ash: Were you not there when Hothead and Boreas went through that?)
Lithaladhwen:(I wasn't.)
Deus Fio:*jumps off his stool, kicks off the ground with a gust of wind, and flies away!  Into the distance.*
Deus Fio:</Boreas>
Deus Fio:(Boreas is like a lot of my characters if they were completely insane.)
Lithaladhwen:(Ha.)
Lithaladhwen:(He entertains me.)
Deus Fio:(Ake, Telerak, Boreas, and Cole Camber are very similar personalities.)
PapatymisonN:... well, TV DOES rot your brain...
FFFan80:....
FFFan80:...I do believe, that is the most intelligent thing I've heard come out of your mouth so far.
Lithaladhwen:*snorts*
Lithaladhwen:IM: And I believe that's the most courteous thing I've heard come from yours.
OMG Priam:*watching Boreas* Well, I guess we know he's slightly higher up the chain than altar boy, now.
Deus Fio:(With each being crazy in their own special way.)
Deus Fio:(They wouldn't like each other, through.)
Lithaladhwen:(I can see that.)
Deus Fio:(Well, Boreas would feel claustrophobic around them because he can't deal with other people being an attention-whore like him.)
PapatymisonN:... uh... thank you?
Lithaladhwen:(Ha!)
Deus Fio:('Kay, night.)
OMG Priam:So what exactly is this place? I haven't been here before tonight, and...well, the nature of it puzzles me.
PapatymisonN:It's O'Herlihy's, man.
PapatymisonN:Best hero hangout in town.
OMG Priam:Can non-heroes come in? Significant others of heroes, friends of heroes, and like that?
PapatymisonN:It's... just a bar, dude.
FFFan80:...I would assume yes, given my presence here.
blender_bunny@mac.com:It's a bar with a costume fetish.
FFFan80:*sip*
PapatymisonN:But yeah. Sometimes there are epic battles too.
Lithaladhwen:*glance to creepy dude*
OMG Priam:I see.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Eh. I'm not a hero either.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Epic battles tends to be a poor schmuck getting duped into attacking the place by his peers.
OMG Priam:I imagine that is like trying to rob a donut store.
FFFan80:....?
Lithaladhwen:...
OMG Priam:....what? Don't tell me you've never heard of the policemen and donuts.
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:*just sighs*
Lithaladhwen:I guess that's true.
PapatymisonN:Because alcohol is to heroes as donuts is to cops?
FFFan80:....
OMG Priam:Maybe. Being a 'hero,' so to speak, is bound to be stressful. Where else would a hero go than a bar? Except for, maybe, something like a massage parlor, or a....massage parlor....
Lithaladhwen:...
PapatymisonN:... acupuncture?
FFFan80:Sometimes, one does need to indulge their baser desires...
FFFan80:...
Lithaladhwen:I would guess the latter "massage parlor" doesn't refer to acupuncture.
FFFan80:*the eyebrow? hothead gets a raised one again*
blender_bunny@mac.com:You'd be accurate, Nick.
OMG Priam:*nods*
PapatymisonN:... what?
OMG Priam:It's statistically been shown that psychological therapists, too, have a very common incidence of alcoholism, too.
PapatymisonN:Balances my chi.
OMG Priam:...don't they usually do acupuncture at massage parlors?
FFFan80:I would imagine so... having to listen to incessant without end would drive me insane also.
FFFan80:*incessant whining
OMG Priam:Right, and that's just the thing. It's taxing to give someone honest help.
OMG Priam:Being a hero is not easy.
PapatymisonN:*nods*
FFFan80:I still fail to see what the therapist receives in return.
PapatymisonN:I do not like it when someone like a little old lady starts whapping me when I just saved her from, like, a meteorite or something...
OMG Priam:Besides a paycheck?
FFFan80:They merely act as a spunge for other people's pain.
OMG Priam:I think therapists are like substitute friends.
Lithaladhwen:*little smirk*
Lithaladhwen:I think that's right.
OMG Priam:Just...Someone to talk things over when you're in problems that you can't talk to anyone else about.
FFFan80:I find it foolish
FFFan80:You are going to trust your innermost demons, to someone you barely know, and whose silence is only gauranteed by monetary investment... at best.
PapatymisonN:*yawns* Y'know? I'm getting REALLY tired...
PapatymisonN:Gonna go.
OMG Priam:All right. Good to meet you.
blender_bunny@mac.com:So is there anything you like, Shades?
PapatymisonN:*waves* See ya later, guys.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Griping.
PapatymisonN:*heads out*
Lithaladhwen:*little wave to the friendly fella in red*
PapatymisonN:(*heads out* SO tired...)
Lithaladhwen:(G'night. You said you'd send a log, Sir Charles?)
PapatymisonN:(And I shall)
PapatymisonN:(Night.)
PapatymisonN:(*idle*)
FFFan80:Yes.
FFFan80:*sips drink*
blender_bunny@mac.com:Does it involve the suffering of others?
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:Not unless they are being paticularly annoying.
Lithaladhwen:And if they are?
FFFan80:They stop being annoying.
Lithaladhwen:I suppose as long as anyone is allowed to feel that way, we're ....all on the same page.
Lithaladhwen:And that... is good.
OMG Priam:*nods*
Lithaladhwen:Though it does mean that you have to worry as much about being annoying as the people who bother you.
Lithaladhwen:If everyone followed that rule... at least.
FFFan80:Were we to place equal value on all individuals... perhaps.
KnightsofSquare:(Therapists ate my parents)
KnightsofSquare:(true story)
FFFan80:But none of us truly do... do we?
Lithaladhwen:IM: He's... probably lucky that not everyone thinks like he does.
FFFan80:*sips drink*
Lithaladhwen:You do not have to place value on a person ....for them to be a threat to you.
Lithaladhwen:I don't have to... value you. For you to be a threat to me.
Lithaladhwen:....so it works both ways.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Some people here are very rude. Others are... oddly gregarious. I don't understand.
Lithaladhwen:IM: I would find this man more interesting if I wasn't worried he'd grab me and try to kill me or something.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Kinda worried he might, though.
OMG Priam:That is some shit to say.
OMG Priam:*drinks*
Lithaladhwen:IM: I'm not interested in that kind of... test. I would learn a few things, but I don't think it's worth it.
FFFan80:(RP in-character debate = braen:  x_@)
Lithaladhwen:(Come on! Get those vague and sinister engines running!)
FFFan80:(I would)
FFFan80:(Except Dave himself is drawing a blank on what else to argue ^_x; )
Lithaladhwen:(She did just make a veiled threat to him. He'd probably notice.)
FFFan80:...
FFFan80:You strike me as a rather intelligent woman.
Lithaladhwen:...
Lithaladhwen:IM: ...
FFFan80:So, I will assume you did not intend that to sound like a vague threat.
OMG Priam:im: *hazy camera lens, two people running towards eachother in a field*
OMG Priam:im: *WORLD EXPLODES*
Lithaladhwen:It would only be a threat... if I thought like you do. Perhaps you should be glad that I clearly do not.
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:*just drinks*
Lithaladhwen:IM: Jerk.
OMG Priam:That really is a good thing.
FFFan80:.....
OMG Priam:And none of us can really live if we all think the same way.
FFFan80:...
OMG Priam:So it's good to see what kinds of other people are out there.
FFFan80:*can't help a slight smirk*
FFFan80:Perhaps you have a point there.
Lithaladhwen:Long as they don't bother me, they can think whatever and however they like.
OMG Priam:Precisely!
OMG Priam:I believe we can all agree on that.
Lithaladhwen:Some people are just... more... likely to bother me. >_>
OMG Priam:Yes, but you deal with that as it comes. If you let it get to you, then you can't really live that way, either.
OMG Priam:...where did all my drink go?
FFFan80:I would hope mostly into your mouth.
OMG Priam:It would seem so, but I don't remember drinking it.
OMG Priam:Pardon me.
OMG Priam:*stands, to some success, and proceeds to the bar to get a fresh dose.*
FFFan80:.....
FFFan80:I sense our bookworm is getting himself... 'plastered' as the term goes.
Lithaladhwen:Lucky him.
FFFan80:*eyebrow raise*
FFFan80:I would hardly call purposely imparing your judgement as 'lucky'.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Alcohol doesn't do shit for me. *Sighs* Don't know why I keep drinking it.
Lithaladhwen:Some people can handle it. My system doesn't like it much.
OMG Priam:*returns, with a full glass in hand*
Lithaladhwen:Better?
OMG Priam:Definitely. Wouldn't want to end the evening with a glass I didn't taste.
OMG Priam:Where were we?
FFFan80:I believe she was implying I am annoying.
OMG Priam:Oh, right. Something I was wondering.
FFFan80:*sip*
OMG Priam:.....
OMG Priam:.....
FFFan80:....yes?
OMG Priam:.....Nah. I think I prefer to find out on my own.
Lithaladhwen:...
FFFan80:...*shrugs* very well.
Lithaladhwen:*also shrugs* Have to wonder why you asked at that rate.
Lithaladhwen:Or stated a desire to ask.
OMG Priam:Easy.
OMG Priam:*points to glass, which is now half-empty*
FFFan80:...that was rather quick.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Not taking the bait.
Lithaladhwen:*gets up silently to go get another soda*
OMG Priam:I can't tell whether you're itching to leave or if you're just starting to get comfortable.
OMG Priam:*to Shades*
FFFan80:Well... it is getting rather late.
FFFan80:And I have a meeting in the morning.
Lithaladhwen:*returns with another little citrus non-caffeinated little soda can*
OMG Priam:*takes another pull from his beverage*
OMG Priam:Well, I hate to leave when we've only just met, but we have other obligations tomorrow
OMG Priam:*to Nick*
Lithaladhwen:It was nice meeting you. *pointedly not to Mister Shifty*
Lithaladhwen:Take care.
OMG Priam:You too. Come on, Shades, let's get.
OMG Priam:*takes the last drink from his glass, and sets it at the bar, along with payment.*
Lithaladhwen:(They say this cat Shades is a bad motha-- *shuts her mouth*)
Lithaladhwen:(*stops talkin' 'bout Shades*)
FFFan80:*stands... and walks over to the woman*
FFFan80:*removes his shades, and looks at her*
FFFan80:*...at least, she assumes he does*
FFFan80:*It's hard to tell when there's swirling, dark purple energy where your eyes should be*
Lithaladhwen:Your glasses make more sense now.
FFFan80:It has been an... interesting evening.
FFFan80:Until our next encounter.
Lithaladhwen:Until then, I guess.
FFFan80:*puts the glasses back on*
FFFan80:*and follows 'Ken' out*
Lithaladhwen:IM: Too bad I can't demonstrate anything similarly cool and sinister.
Lithaladhwen:IM: Not really.
Lithaladhwen:*sits with a sigh to finish her soda in peace*
OMG Priam:</Ken>
FFFan80:</Shades>
Lithaladhwen:</Nicki>
Lithaladhwen:</RP>
Lithaladhwen:*ahem*
Lithaladhwen:For the record.
Lithaladhwen:I adore Shades.
Lithaladhwen:That is all.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Heh
OMG Priam:I'm pretty happy with the way interaction between him and Ken turned out
OMG Priam:Treating villainy as an addition = super funny
Lithaladhwen:How long has he been clean?
FFFan80:That's a good question
FFFan80:I'm playing him as having an odd hate/respect thing for Ken there
FFFan80:As he's the one who brought him down.
FFFan80:Or, at least, was the instrumental individual involved
KnightsofSquare:*plays Bible Fight*
OMG Priam:JESUS WINS.
OMG Priam:FATALITY.
Lithaladhwen::O
KnightsofSquare:Jesus vs GOd atm
FFFan80:.....
OMG Priam:God: *eyelash moves*
OMG Priam:Jesus: *explodes in a giant nuclear holocaust*
KnightsofSquare:Jesus wins!
Lithaladhwen:Incidentally, I'm very sad that Nicki can't go "OMG DEMONSTRATION OF INCREDIBLE MUTANT POWER" in the bar.
Lithaladhwen:It's less dramatic, and I like drama. = (
KnightsofSquare:The impossible has come to pass.  God, Father of Man and Creator of all things, has been defeated!
KnightsofSquare:Take your place as the new ruler of all creation
KnightsofSquare:God was frikkin' cheap
KnightsofSquare:Exploiting his invulnerable frames
KnightsofSquare:So...someone describe the superheroes setting to me.
OMG Priam:It's awesome. And I am going to bed. And someone else gets to describe it better.
OMG Priam:G'NIGHT Y'ALL
blender_bunny@mac.com:I am trying to figure out what the hell is between Nick and Rick besides they like to angst together
Lithaladhwen:I don't know enough about it yet to describe it. City where some small but significant percentage are freaks.
Lithaladhwen:Earth city, likely in the "not too distant future" or something.
Lithaladhwen:Oniichan: I dunno. He's not pushy or crude or anything, despite all his talk about worms fucking.
Sunday, May 06, 2007
KnightsofSquare:I see
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well when you see bugs in every direction you eventually begin to notice it
Lithaladhwen:I don't begrudge him noticing the bugfuckery.
KnightsofSquare:What's his power?
blender_bunny@mac.com:He sees all bugs, everywhere
blender_bunny@mac.com:No matter the distance
blender_bunny@mac.com:In other words, pretty fucking useless
Lithaladhwen:Nick happens to be highly toxic. Avoid contact with mucous membranes. In case of accidental exposure, do not induce vomiting and call 911.
blender_bunny@mac.com:If his power ever evolved at all like it was going to in the original game he was going take on the believed traits of bugs
blender_bunny@mac.com:Mostly cockroaches
blender_bunny@mac.com:If I decide to do that he could be all kinds of sleezey to Nick
Lithaladhwen:Cute.
Lithaladhwen:What exactly would that entail?
blender_bunny@mac.com:Eat almost anything, surviving poisons and nuclear winter
blender_bunny@mac.com:You know
blender_bunny@mac.com:Able to detect  everything in a room through his chest hair =p
Lithaladhwen:Well, luckily for him she doesn't generate boric acid.
Lithaladhwen:Roaches dislike it.
Lithaladhwen:Also, ew chest hair.
blender_bunny@mac.com:It may be shaved, you never know XD
Lithaladhwen:Anyway, she doesn't have The Sex.
Lithaladhwen:Even if she had some reason to believe that The Sex wouldn't kill him, she still doesn't have It.
blender_bunny@mac.com:I didn't doubt it
blender_bunny@mac.com:But I can't imagine that being able to hold some one might feel nice
Lithaladhwen:She just... has an aversion to sex. Affection she can handle, but the rest is a no-go.
Lithaladhwen:Which means that Rick may be left with the "wow I think of you as a friend" position that sucks ass.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Well Rick always has the dance of the lonely fingers to keep him company
Lithaladhwen:I guess he does.
Lithaladhwen:I suppose we'll see.
Lithaladhwen:So far he's the only person she's spoken to that hasn't been the bartender or suspicious in some fashion.
Lithaladhwen:Anyway. I have to go to bed.
Lithaladhwen:I am le tired.
blender_bunny@mac.com:Night
Lithaladhwen:G'night. Thanks for playing. Always a pleasure.
FFFan80:*saves and scoots* Night peeps
