Metahuman Discussion Thread 2: The Argument Strikes Back!

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Bwa ha ha ha! The second Thread is borne!

Discuss away!

Oh, and I agree with IHMN on his last point, projectile weapons wouldn't really work unless you were in contact with them the whole time.

[h4x.m4g3]

Hmmm all right I have to agree with you on this one. I made the rue so I'll abide it. Let me think for a moment before editing.

Edit:There better? Before you ask the tentacles aren't going to be stretching 20feet more around 3 or 5 feet maybe longer as the RP goes on, they're not really going to be used except to get the items unless they're holding one, and then they're not going to be able to operate anything complex (such as guns.) So there.

[Darth SS]

Wait! Hold on here.


Okay, somehow Shadi warped to the professor's place? But Flash is still picking up where he left off.

To be quick: WHAT TIME IS IT!? Is it the day after chapter 1, or is it still during the same night as chapter 1?

[IHateMakingNames]

First off, that tentacle would be in a lot of pain and burnt. Also, even with his eyes closed, I would think a flash bang would still blind him pretty well from only 3 feet away.

[h4x.m4g3]

Even if he was blinded then he could've aimed toward the opening before the flash and its not that hard to aim upward towards a roof when you're right against the wall. The tentacles are liquid metal (how they mold themselves and go back into the little pool below the jewel when not in use) so they might be burned but I doubt that any serious damage would've been done.

[Sithdarth]

From now on to cut down on useless statments I'm just going to use see and sense instead of typing out I sense this and that. Besides I'm seeing the world completely differently then any of the other characters. My eyes pick up the entire EM spectrum and I have a 6th sense tied to me being able to manipulate light. The 6th sense isn't accurate like my eyes but gives me pretty good warning if someone is near.

[Darth SS]

I would love for someone to answer my post so I can post in the RP.

And warning:This RP is in the first stages of death-throes.

[IHateMakingNames]

SS, for everyone but Jaguar, it is night. Jaguar (And one of SAAM's characters) are around a day ahead of everyone else (Unless Shadi's sewer house is right next to the jail, which is right next to Fernan's apartment).

[Darth SS]

*Salutes*

Thank you.

[Sithdarth]

I think it would be a good ideal to agree on a method to allow the catching up of people a little further back. Some agreed upon way in which characters can send themselves into the future to catch up.

Side note: I don't care if this RP is in its death throws. Its been pretty damn action packed up to this point and really entertaining. Although I think it could use some actual story here pretty soon . Jaguar and Shade seem to have the begings of a good nonfight story going on though.

Question: Can we ignore metahumans attacking plants in other cities and assume the good guys there stopped them? Allowing us to concentrate more on our city.

Second Question: Anyone have a name for the HS, or are we even going to the same HS? (That is those of us that might actually go to HS.)

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Well, the Metahumans have not gone to the Power Plants just yet, They have to get the specifics of how he Big Bang took place from the good doctor first. I ain't an interrogator at heart, so this may seem a little akward.

[Sithdarth]

I'd still like to know how Shadi saw me when there was nothing to see. Basically I just sent all the light around him so it was as if it passed through him. So unless you have some super senses we don't know about I don't see how you saw me.

[Shade]

You might be invisible, but you still make noise. Or Shadi could smell your blood, or something like that.

[Sithdarth]

I stated that I was being very very quite. There is no reason I couldn't sneak well enough to avoid him. Perhasp it is the wording that has gotten me. Besides even if he was hiding I could have still seen him. My eyes are a lot different and unless he completely shut down all brain functions I would know someone was near.

edit: Never mind all is good now.

[Darth SS]

There. Caught up on the same date as everyone.

And just as a side note- Sparks is not a hero. He does not go out looking for crimes. If he does witness one he can discretely stop, he well. But overall, he's just some college student caught up in all this.

[IHateMakingNames]

SS, one of my characters goes to college and lives in a dorm. By some odd coincidence, roommates?

[Darth SS]

May as well.

Twisted enough to work. Hell, they'd probably even get along (After a fashion)

[IHateMakingNames]

The college guy controls emotions.

You have to get along.

[Darth SS]

Wait. You have two people?

[IHateMakingNames]

Yes... A lot of people do...

I have Kevin, who is a pink skinned, white haired, glowing white eyed teleporter with a tail.

Then I have Mike, who is a normal looking college student who can control emotions.

[Darth SS]

Pink skinned, eh?

You've just brought back good memories of Miko, the complete hard-ass samurai who wears fuzzy pink bunny slippers.

"Are you mocking my choice of footwear?"

[slightly aboveaverage man]

May as well.

Twisted enough to work. Hell, they'd probably even get along (After a fashion)

I smell a Sitcom!

[Darth SS]

...Never mention that idea again. Ever. At all.


IHMN- Do our guys know about each other's respective powers?

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, if your guy ever told Mike, he would know. But Mike hasn't told anyone but Kevin about his ability to manipulate emotions. And your guy wouldn't know anything about Kevin either (He would probably wonder where all the stuff is coming from though).

[Darth SS]

Who's going to question receiving a working coffee-maker though?

[LordTobias]

I apparently haven't been on much due to uh...er...certain reasons...
But...uh...

Where in the blue hell is everyone?

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Well, me and Jaguar were planning some evil shit, then everyone lost interest.

[LordTobias]

I see...

I woulda dropped out after today anyway.....personal reasons...

[Jaguar]

I could presume that the RP is dead, mainly because everyone seems to have lost interest. Pity.

[LordTobias]

Indeed...it was just about to start getting.

Then again, people do those kinds of things...
