I think I might have gone a bit overboard there. Hey @Gisk, is my last post alright?

I thing getting the symbiotes in at some much later time could be a really fun plot point, personally, especially with how minmaxed a lot of these characters are. It'd be cool to see how they would interact with such odd powersets.

The rest of Lindsay's morning passed in a blur. Her dad, as usual, was too busy at work to pick her up, and so Beth, (her soon-to-be Stepmum), had cycled, (and wasn't that a nasty thought), from her part-time job to drive her home. As such, the journey was an awkward one.

"Are you sure you're alright honey?" The blonde asked from the driver's seat.

It wasn't as if she disliked Beth either. She was nice - certainly had more time for her than her dad, most of the time. But she reminded her too much of her mother.

"Dwi'n iawn." Was her sullen reply. 'I'm fine'. It was one of the many phrases the woman had picked up in her time with Lindsay's father. It was also a lie. Her head was pounding, and there was an annoying buzzing sensation in the back of her neck an- "HIT THE BRAKE!"

Time seemed to slow, almost to a crawl, as Lindsay dove out of her seat towards the driver-side door. A sharp pain flared in her wrists, and before she had even begun to fully comprehend what was happening a rope of white something had attached itself to Beth as she almost simultaneously flung the door open and launched herself out of the vehicle.

Seconds later, a Truck came barrelling around the corner on the wrong side of the road and slammed into the car, sending and shrapnel flying. The truck then carried on for a moment, ploughing through the wreckage, slamming into a roadside barrier ant tipping onto its side with a crash.

Another moment, and the wreck of her car burst into flames, and a jagged piece of the hood slashed through her side.

She seemingly went into autopilot after that, just barely remembering calling for an ambulance, before picking Beth up and somehow running home. It seemed as though they had both gone into mild shock. As it was, she couldn't remember how the large patch of slowly deteriorating fibre on her side got there, nor did could she recall making two mugs of unbearably sweet tea to calm the two of them down. And as they sat on the sofa in their living room, watching the crash being reported on the news and absentmindedly pondering on whether the insurance would cover this, Lindsay failed to ever notice that the gash in her abdomen had long since stopped bleeding.

Lindsay's morning had been a normal one. She'd woken up at six, as usual, cooked a fry-up for herself and the family, as usual, and driven to school, arriving precisely five minutes before the last bell, precisely as usual. She hadn't done anything particularly different with her clothes or hair, nor had she worn any makeup, other than the usual concealer for the scars on her cheek, as well as any bruises she'd picked up. She hadn't eaten anything unusual in the past week. Nor, as usual, had she spoken to anyone unusual at school, (that being anyone other than her friends, Daniel and Emmy, who were twins, and were both currently on holiday).

That she'd spent an hour that morning beating the hell out of some rookie in an alley was irrelevant.

Her first lesson, (English class), had passed without incident. She'd answered a few questions, read an extract from her essay to the class, (full marks, rather unusually), and exchanged a few words with her current work partner. Then, when the bell rang, she'd packed up her things, talked with her teacher for a few minutes on a book she'd been reading, and then walked briskly to her locker. There, she'd retrieved her chemistry notes and textbook, summarily ignored one of the cheerleaders' comments on her apparently 'dumb' accent and 'malformed' face, (Fool, didn't the bitch know the difference between a birthmark and a scar?), and made her way to her second class.

"Yes," she thought, "A thoroughly normal morning." Why, then, was she now hunched over a toilet bowl, trying not to puke her own guts out? Chemistry class hadn't been going for more than ten minutes when her face went pale and she began to feel nauseous. She'd put up her hand and quietly asked to be excused, before bolting for the nearest bathroom. Now, though, it was quickly becoming clear that she wasn't just experiencing a funny turn, and she lamented her poor judgement as she staggered out of the bathroom and collapsed halfway between it and the nurse's office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Lindsay awoke with a start in unfamiliar surroundings. She quickly noted that she was lying on a rather uncomfortable mat on the floor of what seemed to be the nurse's office, and she noted, as she rubbed the sleep from hazy eyes, that her hands were clammy and damp with sweat. She cursed lightly under her breath when she realised that some of the concealer for her bruises had come away with her hand. To one side of her, she noted, two of the more popular boys were conversing tentatively, and on the other, she caught someone move out of the corner of her eye.

This wouldn't do. Taking care not to overwhelm herself, she messed up her now damp hair, and slowly got up, before wandering over to the boys who were talking.

"'Scuse me," she began, quietly, wincing as a pain flared in her head and she nearly fell. "I don't s'pose you two know why we're here, 'falle?"

(('Falle is short for efallai, which means perhaps or by any chance in Welsh))

A New Johto Journey (Pokemon G/S/C)

Of course.

Spider-Men, interest check and co-gm search.

@Burning Kitty so in all honesty Iron man is going to be way out of our league. He probably won't care or bother to know we exist.

@soren

Although that does mean that the more vicious aspects of the character won't become apparent for a while, which could be very beneficial, and would make for good development. Way I see it, so long as it isn't too ridiculous, and it only focuses on Iron Man, it's actually advantageous to conflict and storytelling, and could strengthen the character as a whole.

COLONIZATION OF SPACE ROLEPLAY

Sounds like it could be fun
