"You have one cloak. Only one. Even I have more variations in my uniform. I mean, there are my arctic uniform, jungle uniform, safari uniform, space uniform, reinforced uniform..."

@Grey"It makes me look sexy as hell, so I think it's close enough."

@Ermine"I'm cool with that."

@Tengri"Technically, it's a different cloak every time since I make it out of weird demon-y shadow stuffs. Also, I have little control in how it looks. That was the default, and I have tried to change it before, to little avail."

@Raijinslayer "Could make you cloak. Spider silk, soft and durable. Also less sinister."

@Grey"Hmm. . . show me the design you're thinking of, and you might have yourself a deal

@Joshie Defend or Engage Enemy?

That would be engage.

Rest in pieces Swarm and Network

@Raijinslayer "Don't get too excited. You're paying."

@Ermine"Ah . . .then I retract that earlier statement. Peace." *Melts into shadow-stuff and slithers away*

@Raijinslayer "Oh, none of that." -builds a psychic box around the puddle of shadow-stuff- "Guy stuff's cheaper anyway. Unless you're saying you want a nice, pretty dress. I could see that."

Okay, now that we know more about our characters...

...who are our pairings? And what are they called? AND DO WE ALL SHARE AN OTP?!

Obvs mine's Alex/Riley/Sarah Kerrigan (SKrilex).

EDIT: Seriously though, Alex has the makings of a pairing with Ian and Riley is (I think) established to have a thing for Alex (amiright, that's established isn't it?).

EDIT EDIT: AndreaxSwarmxHana is fun, too. I imagine Alex and Andrea talking about it, like they're watching Netflix in their pjs and Andrea's all, "There's this girl at school, Hana, --, you know her, right? And I really think she's great and all, but then I remember how shit all the supers say being in a relationship with a civvie is, and you know, Swarm's pretty cool, right? 'Dude, the bug girl? Just... Eww, dude,' 'Alex! Come on, you know she's great. Plus, 'dem legs, do,' 'Dude, she wears a jumpsuit and a full mask. She's probably super ugly,' 'Why you always gotta be a bitch?' 'I'm not always a bitch. Just, like... Mostly always a bitch. Besides, seriously, I love you b, but I don't think bug bitch, 'Alex!' 'is interested. Like, I haven't once seen her check you out. Like, fer real, I check her out more than she checks you out,' '... Why?' 'What, I check her for bugs, like, all the time,' 'Uh huh,' 'I check you out all the time, too,' '... Dude,' 'For bugs, asshole!"

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Just fyi everyone, Carly Chaikin is definitely Alex's voice actress.

@LiliyaI knowit was suggested and that Hyper seemed to like the idea, but I'm unsure if she actually ever went with it.

@Liliya

No love for Net, eh?

@Liliya

No love for Net, eh?

Well, okay, I know it's established that she asked him out and he like straight up meanly rejected her. I mean, not because he meant to be a dick, just because he's super awkward, but I doubt she'd be aces about the whole thing and pick up on him or whatever in the future. She definitely looks at the fan made Polaris/Network shipart in secret, though.

EDIT: Oh, me personally, as a ship thing? I guess I'd ship Network and Swarm as this totally awkward couple who are just like, awfully, painfully lame. Like, they just can't pick up on each other to save their lives. One would make like a clumsy move or whatever, and the other one's just like, "I have to go clean my bugs!" and just runs off, leaving the other super confused like, "Der, what'd I do?" or like Swarm touches Rob's arm or something, and he like ninja flips over her backwards like "HIYAHHHAHAHA!" and breaks the lamp, like zero chill. @Tengri

@Liliya

I can live with that. Also, may we settle for vitriolic friend instead? Like, they argue from time to time, but actually appreciate each other. Network sure does. In fact, his actual reason for rejecting all those confessions is that he firmly believes he is damaged goods and that any girl deserves better.

I think she has a complicated relationship with Net. He stands right on the edge of representing what she kind of fears supers are increasingly becoming, which is this group that has these militarized views of things comprising enemies, targets, missions, etc., etc., which, to her, is just not the right way. She looks at things as supers are just people, albeit ones who can toss cars around, but to her there are no enemies, just people causing trouble for the civvies and people who want to keep them from being successful. She legitimately fears a time when supers will look at the world as though they were a country or military with enemies in the more traditional sense, as opposed to their just being people trying to do some good for the world. So far as her friendship aspect, with regard to Rob, I think she respects his abilities, but is fearful that he is just not going to move forward and become a real person, and kind of worries that she's headed in the same direction. At the same time, I think she does want to help him move forward, well, what she considers to be forward, if only to prove to herself that the inevitable isn't so set in stone. So far as vitriolic friendship, I do think she appreciates his being there, they certainly aren't enemies or anything, and they probably do have the occasional good time together, but I imagine she prefers when it's on her terms. For instance, I imagine she'd be pleased to see him acting like a real kid when they do their Chuck E Cheese thing, though him having a good time when they train together probably isn't quite so mutually palatable to her. I edited my above post, by the way @Tengri.

Alrighty, times up. Sometime during turkey day (after some football and turkey) I shall move things along. :)

And updated. :)

Feel free to post questions.

@JoshieWhat happened to Ian's Carbomb? I rolled for that and wanted to pen an opportunity for my ally, I think.

Also, is this Sai we're dealing with or something else

1.@JoshieWhat happened to Ian's Carbomb? I rolled for that and wanted to pen an opportunity for my ally, I think.

2.Also, is this Sai we're dealing with or something else

1. Will edit that in, you're right.

2. I'll open this question up to everyone else. I intended this to be an original villian, but what do you folks feel about it? Is this Sai, or an original?

@JoshieI think original villain is better and seems less random, though I'm curious by that 'I'm free' line
