Amazingly enough, very lucky. Ka-Zar and Shanna show up immediately. "Ho there, X-Men! What brings you to the Savage Lands?"
The pimp responds, "I not know! She crazy! She run off crying and angry!"

"We are hear to do a little bit of Beast Taming... looking for some new recruits and steeds..."
Wolvie... "For your sake you'd best do better than that... at least point us in the direction that she went."
Cyclops will speek into his XMen communicator "Professor, we're going to need you to relocate the girl if you wouldn't mind, she has run away from her apartment."

Ka-Zar nods. "Recently, the beasts have been acting up... I fear something awful is spreading an influence."
The pimp says, "You big man?! You want to take on Triad! She went that way! Now leave alone! I know nothing!"
The professor nods. "This may not be good. She seems to have hostile intents. She is roaming the streets". He gives you a rough idea of where.

BTT (Beast Tamer Team): "Well maybe we can discover something about what is causing the displeasure of the animals, I can only guess that the AM plays some part in it."
MT (Mutant Team): Rushes towards where the professor pointed them.

BTT: "The... AM? What is that of which you speak?"
MT: The team rushes towards the Red Light district. Hookers are everywhere. Finding an emotionally-distraught looking one won't be easy.

BTT: Explain the AM to the two
MT: Cyclops asks the Professor to try to imprint the image of the girl into the most perceptive of the group so they can make her out easier.

OOC: I keep forgetting you know a TON about the AM. Not everything, but far more than you should.
BTT: Ka-Zar seems to shiver. "What a horrible fact. I wondered if there was some underlying theme to the recent downturn in the world, and it seems I was right. Not even the Savage Lands will be safe. I will do everything in my power to assist you. Do you wish to first find beasts to tame or to stop what is happening?"
MT: The Professor successfully does so, but it is still almost impossible to identify her. There is just so much hustle and bustle.

Post by Ominai on Nov 30, 2005 3:45:29 GMT -5
OOC: Yeah, I did learn a lot about the AM very quickly.
BTT: "Yes everything that we have accomplished and are attempting to accomplish is to stop this evil from winning."
MT: Cortana should have fun using the Master Chiefs optics, she can category and profile and incredible rates.... but just keep looking... hoping to notice something before it happens

BTT: "That's.... not an answer. At this moment, do you first wish to find some beasts to tame or deal with the problems I have been facing?"
MT: Problem is transferring a psychically projected image to a computer. Looking for sexual transactions doesn't work, obviously. Might want to use your whole team?

Post by Ominai on Nov 30, 2005 23:54:19 GMT -5
OOC: Woops, misunderstood the question... I thought they wanted justification for us using the beasts.
BTT: "Let us solve the problems that you are being faced with and then we can begin our hunt for beasts to tame."
MT: Cortana has full Access to the Master Chiefs brain and see's like he does... thats what her job is, to transfer his physical thoughts and motions so that they perform at peak ability and speed. But yes, I also want to use the whole team to look for the girl.

BTT: "Very well. Recently, the sentients of this land, from the Fall-People to the Aerians to the Swamp Men to the Pterons, have had to fend off betrayal from within and a great force from the outside. Something is rotten in Denmark. The Swamp-Men wish to see us." He begins running and swinging, ala Tarzan, in a direction towards the bogs.
MT: I'm aware. But a psychically transferred image relies upon the unique neurological and emotional components of that which it is being relayed to. For Cortana to be effective in this situation, the telepathic image, uniquely conjured by the human brain, must be converted through normal human functions, then back to Cortana sans all the connotations and interesting things, and back to Master Chief with an auto-searching device. Lots of room for margin of error there.
What will the rest of the team do? Split up?

BTT: "Lead the way to where you think it is the worst at the moment so that we may take care of the problems head on."
MT: Yes, the rest of the team will split up and look about the bustling streets, making sure to stay in contact with one another.

BT: The team follows Ka-Zar and Shanna. Shanna calls out, "Watch out!" as a warning burst of laser fire cuts through the air. In the distance, you hear someone say, "Sorry! That was mighty close. We are representatives of Omni-Anthro Incorporated. You're trespassing. We apologize, but we need to take you in for questioning."
MTT: Close to a Love Hotel, Stryfe is solicited by a young girl matching the description. "Oh! You want... good time? You tough man?" She says something in Thai that probably means 'Yakuza'.
Meanwhile, Master Chief is walking along an alley. He hears walking more quickly than usual behind him and in front of him.
OOC: Danger Room people can get more benefit if you actually have them play it out. You could totally send Firebrand down there after he beats Red Malth and have him fight Omega Red.

BTT: "Be careful there buddy, you almost started a nast fight, you might want to be a bit more amiable next time."
MT: Stryfe will try to be nice about it and just say he's looking for a girl that he wants to help.
Master Chief will stop and turn around, squatting as if to look at something, but really tensing up for whatever is coming his way (sword battery in his hand, deactivated but with his finger on the button).

BTT: "I do so apologize. We promise to be nicer. But we need you to come in."
MT: "I girl! Am I not good enough for you?" She's beautiful-looking. Stryfe's psychic powers is picking up a malevolent motive.
Someone back-flips over Master Chief. A very slight sound, like a silenced pistol, is heard. MC's armor detects a breach, an incomplete one, but one nonetheless. The kid starts walking up the wall.

BTT: "Very well, we wont cause any fuss about it. Please dont try anything funny though, we have enough to deal with as it is."
MT: Can he sense if she has anything up her sleave that isn't quite normal for a human? He'll say "You are gorgeous, but this girl really needs our help so that she isn't afraid of what is to come of her."
MC will sword lock and lunge at the guy and Cortana will naturally try to detect what the breach is and push out whatever breached the armor with the gelatin inside of it.

BTT: You know they want to capture you... right? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanna has info on Shanna. MT: Stryfe isn't sure. She says, "You won't find this girl! Thailand is full of girls. You're looking for.... a needle in a haystack." She seems to have okay English, improving slowly, and she also seems to wonder if you're talking about her. She brushes up to Styrfe. MC buries his blade deep into the guy's chest. Amazingly enough, this man avoids going into shock and fires straight into the faceplate. Master Chief feels a pinprick on his face. Cortana detects that it is a small, thin needle, probably containing some sort of chemical agent. Suddenly, MC is hit by an outswinging door, then is facing a simply massive iron rod being shoved at his chest. He hears two large gunshot-like sounds while the man who is cut (and dying) curses in Thai.

BTT: Yeah, shit..... well I'll say "We have important business to go about, now if you'll excuse us, we dont want to have to force our own admission, but we will."
MT: Stryfe: "Did you give your pimp a wound that resembled a boil?"
MC: Stick a grenade to whatever is behind that massive rod and drop back down to the ground.

BTT: "Neither do we. You're on sovereign territory, and you can be in legal as well as physical trouble if you don't."
MT: She looks up at Stryfe and growls. "I can kill you in a second. Who are you?!"
MC: The grenade sticks on the assailant in front of him. The man tries to shake it off, then fails and rushes at MC, blowing up and damaging the Chief. The chief as he ducks down sees a bola flying over his head, and can get a counter-attack shot off; unfortunately, he then is stuck underneath a net.

BTT: Does anybody have good persuasive skills or intimidation skills?
MT: Stryfe: "We are also people who are different than your average human and we want to help this girl and show her a place where she will be welcome. If you have a power, please tell me." *probing her as best as he can psychicly*
MC: Attempt to take a shot with an uzi at whoever threw the bola before the net hits him, and when the net does, attempt to slash out of it with the Sword and call his team for help on the radios.

BTT: The Beast ain't shabby. Hagrid's nice and jovial. Rai Dei can speak authoritatively.
MT: "Why should I trust you? The Yakuza want me dead! They're not above hiring someone like you." She's scared but telling the truth. Her power is still hidden from you.
MC: MC isn't all too trapped, so his momentum isn't all that impeded. His shot only peripherally catches the person he's firing at, who clearly has some kind of subdermal or concealed armor. Unfortunately, he still can't get out in time. A bola tags him directly, and now his arms are fairly well useless. He radios for help. The man with the prybar picks up the gun again and fires at the chestplate. The plate's reactive components prevent the needle from coming in. The thug with the net gun comes up and bats MC in the head with the gun. MC's shields are taking a beating.
By the by, what job did MC choose?

Post by Ominai on Dec 5, 2005 23:57:16 GMT -5
BTT: Attempt to make all of the biggest people stand menacingly behind Rai Dei while he tells them that the last mistake that they want to make is to pick a fight with them.
MT: Stryfe "We met the pimp with the boil, my friend almost cut his head off because he was such an asshole. We are here on behalf of Professor Xavier." over the comm. to the prof: "Professor, please send her a message if this is the girl that we are looking for, and tell me as well." BTW: I saw a trailer for X3 on Attack of the Show today..... WOW!
MC: His shield should actually block a spinning projectile that is moving that fast... if its still up that is. If not, he is going to attempt to rip the cords open and slash the guy that hit him with the gun. I dont think MC has a job chosen either.... very few of my characters do

The call comes out from the trees again. "We're in heavy cover and we outnumber you. I'm sorry, but the threat is pretty idle. We promise that coming in will be profitable to you."
MT: "Why should I trust you?!" She's getting pretty mad because you have nothing to say to her so far that proves you're not an assassin. It's at this point that Stryfe is getting a distress call.
The Prof replies, "Yes, Stryfe. She is."
I assume you mean the bola? You didn't take damage,but it doesn't stop the bola from wrapping around and impeding movement. And the shield is being pummeled pretty bad, yeah. But how he will rip them open? Raw strength? He can't move his arm enough currently to use his sword. It looks like a high-tension cord, like a inch-wide piano wire.
Might want to pick a job for MC. (And Stryfe is a Dark Knight, funnily enough). Pick Jobs for everyone else, too (make a new thread if you want; logical ones derived from their skills, consult with me if you expect a problem). MC would be Black Mage, Mind Melter, Gunslinger, Bodyguard (special Paladin-like Technique class).
Your whole team is receiving MC's distress call.

Post by Ominai on Dec 6, 2005 0:32:35 GMT -5
BTT: Do they really sound like it will be profitable? Because I'm totally at a loss here.
MT: "Please talk to the professor, he is from America and wants to give you a scholarship to his academy, if we were assassins we would be more prepared than this and I would have attacked you long before, as you can hear I could have asked the professor if you were the girl a long time ago and killed you from a distance. Also, my friend is under attack by people who I assume are the ones who want to hurt you, so I would appreciated it if you would let my friends and myself take care of these threats and give us a chance."
The team will rush to the alleyway where MC is, except Strife, unless the girl will come.
MC is going to ignore teh bola if it is on his upper arms and attempt to shoot a burst at the man with the net gun.

They're sincere enough. Almost TOO sincere.
MT: She says, "We close to crowded street! You want to take me somewhere and kill me!" She's beginning to buy it, though. She says, "You don't let go! Take me to your friend."
The Professor tells her (and you) psychically, "I understand your fear. Your powers appeared suddenly, upon someone who it was dangerous to kill. Do not let your fear eclipse logic. With my degree of psychic power, I could shut down everyone around you. If they were with the Yakuza, the police would look the other way anyways. You are far enough from the street, and you and I both know how many of your sisters disappear yearly. They might be the only trustworthy people you can turn to who can protect you. Keep your hand on Stryfe; you can check against him if he decides to become too... fresh."
It's on his lower arms.

BTT: UGH! Beast is going to ask the Professor to read these guys minds and tell him if they are in trouble if they go with them.
MT: Stryfe: "Lets go help him." He looks at her trustingly and puts his elbow around hers and points her in the direction of the alley.
The rest of the team is already there.

The Professor says, "I am not certain. You are.... quite far... away. Omni Anthro is a.... strange...company..." Then nothing.
MT: She follows, occasionally tripping as Stryfe's longer legs carry her.
The team rushes there, but surprisingly Stryfe is first to arrive, seeing what MC is seeing.

BTT: Fucking A..... well they will go with the people... if they have to fight their way out, so be it.
Stryfe is going to cast Dark Wave on the guy that is throwing bolas.
MC is going to attempt to make his way over to Stryfe so that Stryfe can cut him out of the Bola, all the while emptying an SMG clip into the guy with the net gun.

The men say, "We'll have to ask you to give us your weapons.
MT: Dark Wave tends to hit everyone, including allies in the path.
MC: MC manages to run with the net and the bola constraining him. He knocks over the man who hit him with the butt of the gun.

MT: Sryfe is going to attempt to rise the dead man as a zombie.
MC is going to ask stryfe to cut him our of his restraints.
