Current I'm about to be banished for the good of the realm again. Where is the trust in this world, I ask you?

I'm sorry, you've reached his personal secretary, Department of Shrubbery, Floor 64, Desk 1024. How can we help you today?

Or buy a van or a used rental truck. Something nobody would look twice at. You can put in a rack for the rope, duct tape, plastic sheeting, shovels....

Never trust a car salesman - especially a used car salesman. Have a buddy park across the street and see how many stuffed body bags you can shove in there. Gotta have room for plastic sheeting, etc.

Neil Gaiman wrote in his Good Omens bio that he likes it when fans send him $50. (He read Terry Pratchett's bio and figured it wouldn't hurt.)

Bio

I am a seven-foot tall minecraft-playing hindu guru drag-queen alien.

Possessor of an Ancient Device™ Model 17. No, I don't know what it does. No, you can't play with it.

Pronouns: It. As in: "What is it? What does it want? Why is it here? Oh my god, it's got my... <insert random body part or object here>"

Likes: World Domination, Writing, Rpg, scifi/fantasy, anime, sketchup 3d models, and anime music videos.

Companions: a host of characters from other games, my personal muse Penny (as in Bad), and the Badger gang - Toothpick, Buttons, Shark, and Mongo. They grew up in the balcony of an old theatre that played a lot of gangster movies. Normally benign, but may invade the OOC forums.

The blow made pain blossom in Remy's left cheek and the world to spin as the metallic taste of blood trickles down his tongue. He also felt something else dropping into another pocket....

"Like it, punk?" Joe sneers. "That's just a love tap."
"Joe! C'mon man, it's just a kid!"
"Harry, if we don't teach this gutter punk a lesson now, we'll have an alley full of 'em, stinking up the Watershed, begging in the street."

"Carl, you just gonna stand by?" Harry demanded. The third, a reddish glow to his cheeks, shrugged.
"Joe's right," he slurs, a happy dumb smile on his face as he shrugs. "Gotta stomp them down before they move in."

"Ya see?" Joe smirks, swinging his right fist back, "This is just sanitation!"

There was a dull clunk as a pipe hit the wall, and a gruff voice calling out, "Hey! What's going on here?" Remy glanced at Jimi, his eyes wide as he struggled in the big man's grip.

"Joe, it's one of them heroes," Harry said, spinning around, taking in the crackling pipe in Jimi's hand. Carl's happy smile became a frown.
"Hey!" Joe replies, glancing back at Jimi, "Thanks! We don't need yer help, I've got this!"
Working on a concept. Trying to balance it.
In the Devil is a Part-Timer, when Satan arrives in Tokyo, he's drained from passage into this world and discovers that there's no magic here. He uses up a good portion of it to produce sufficient money to get himself and his general a bare subsistence apartment. It's only later when he's able to tap into the fear of the people around him during an attack that he was able to achieve full power - only to have to use it up repairing the damage and removing the incident from people's minds.

There's another reverse isekai, The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, where a demon gets deported to Tokyo with only a small power crystal. She looks like a small child, but the crystal allows her to temporarily assume an adult form so she can work in a neighborhood restaurant (or is it a bar?).

So I'm wondering if power-ups like crystals or holy vitamin B drinks is going to be a thing possible for some characters? Also, Emi brings a holy sword with her to Tokyo - are artifacts like that allowed?

I'm a little confused by the two character sheets as well. I'm assuming the second sheet is for Earth characters only and we don't have to fill out both?
"Rein.... What?" Niki demanded, offended. What kind of trick was this?

Was this some sort of stunt? Did the Russians intercept her on the way to the hospital and put her in this to break her for information? Niki could feel her lips curl in disgust. Weird how they didn't think to at least put for the effort to make it look like a hospital?

Others around her looked confused as well. Were they actors or other agency personnel who'd gotten caught up in this as well?

The jukebox in the bar was playing some old hit by Treachery, Remy could feel the beat through the wall bricks. Really the only thing that made them standout was the drummer's self-generated light show, otherwise they weren't any different from any of the mundane bands. Not that he really cared, he was just settling into the shadows, eyeing the door on the other side of the alley.

The jukebox was spewing out some C&W ballad of a guy crying over his AI truck leaving him on the side of the road some lonely night when the door he'd been waiting for swung open. Standing in the kitchen light was a guy wearing a white t-shirt, apron, and one of those stupid paper hats, with a bag of garbage at his feet. Remy ducked his head down a bit, listened as the bag was tossed into the dumpster and the plastic lid thudded down, and the light from the door vanished as it slammed shut.

He waited for a moment, then dared to glance over the lid of the bar's dumpster to see if the kitchen guy was still there, but there wasn't a sign of him.

Remy sighed, then darted over to the restaurant's dumpster, feeling his stomach growl at him as he flipped the dumpster lid open and went digging for the new bag, searching the discarded wrappers and bioplas cups of half-melted ice for a half-eaten burger or cold fries. And he found it - a discarded burger with just a bite out of it!

It was then the hands grabbed him, hauling him out and slamming him against the dumpster, three big guys, reeking of booze.
"Well, lookit what I got, boys!" the man holding onto him smirked. "One of those street brats!"
"I dunno Joe," one laughed. "Kinda looks a bit scrawny, meybe you oughta throw him back."

It was too late, Remy could feel something heavy drop into his jacket pocket.

"Throw him back?" his captor scowled. "The hell I will! Boy's gotta learn his lumps! Stealin' outta dumpsters, that's just nasty!"
"Joe, he's just a kid!"
"So?"

This is gonna hurt, Remy flinched.
@Guardian Angel Haruki Sorry, did you want colored text when characters speak so you can tell us apart?
And then there's that moment you realized you could have posted, "I have a cat!"

Greetings and salutations, Master EffeX.
Greetings and salutations! I hope you enjoy playing with strangers? I'm pretty much in the same boat, my usual site is shutting down so I've found my way here. So don't be a stranger.
