The robots backed off when she shouted, and the tin man’s voice came in through speakers. "You're absolutely right, Maverick. I wouldn't kill a teenage girl. In fact, I'd be hard-pressed to kill anyone." She sighed out, preparing to stand up and look for an escape route while her opponent wouldn’t blow her up from behind. "But at the same time..." She froze, her every muscle tensing with sudden anxiety--

--the same voice, much closer this time. "I can't just let you leave, either." Anything he might have said next never reached her ears, as electricity arced through her skull and all over her metallic skin, which quickly gave way to vibrant, violent sparking. For a single microsecond, just a few flashes to the unaided eye, she was pure green static, her scream reaching a crescendo as she let out an energy pulse, knocking over the fleeing citizens and launching her at the street a story below. As quickly as the electricity came, it went, and she was flesh again, plummeting, limp, towards the pavement.

Whatever was left of her consciousness latched onto May's face--she'd failed, and it was all this asshole's fault, and now May would get killed, or stuffed into some kinda experiment, or when Maverick escaped she'd get a little girl's finger in the mail--she bit her lip and hoped the fall would kill her, because she's dead anyway as soon as Nan learns that Maverick had a chance to save May and failed. You dumb piece of shit. You're about as good a superhero as any other douche in a leotard.

I marched in an LGBT parade today

What the fuck?

@Azarthes

It's a gay bar, which is pretty much one of the only gateways that can be found easily.

I marched in an LGBT parade today

I went to an LGBT pride in the UK once, and all I really took away from it was how homogeneous (fnar) and alcohol-oriented the LGBT scene seems to be in that neck of the woods. Given that some LGBT people are underage or don't care to drink and aren't particularly excited by tacky pop music, innuendo, and feather boas, it does make me wonder about whether it's actually an inclusive community or not. I get that it's reclaiming the cliché and all, but, seriously, does the LGBT community want to pigeon-hole itself exclusively into sparkles, sex, and the past-times of a pre-pubescent girl?

Good on you for marching, though. I imagine the vibe at a march is very different to a rainbow-themed street piss-up pride event.

@Jig

I agree on giving more attention to minors of the LGBT community. It sucks that a gateway to the community exists literally maybe two or three blocks away but I legally cannot enter until I'm 18. That won't be too long of a wait, but I can't imagine being 14 or 15 and having to wait years and years just to encounter people you can be totally open with. Cons tend to be good places for LGBT stuff, as I've noticed with nearly every con I've gone to, but those occur a few times a year depending upon where people live and they can be expensive.

Anyone else stuck in that kind of "how do I move my character into a more relate-able scenario" kind of dealie? I'll work on it for now I suppose.

@Loud Angry Dead

If by "relate-able scenario" you mean having your PC interact with others, that's gonna take some planning. I was basically RPing by myself for three months before Marik and EnterTheHero gave me a scenario to get in on. Big RPs with lots of subplots tend to be that way, I've noticed.

Edited my post a little to give EnterTheHero more to respond to.

The feeling of being sharply torn away from something by her face wasn’t a pleasant one, and Maverick grunted and felt the whole world churn end-over-end. The brief victory of knowing she at least messed up one of the robots lasted about a second, as before she even landed the damn thing turned intangible and disappeared like a glitch. This guy is serious news, fuck. Fuck! I couldn’t get some dickwad with a magic whip again?!

She felt the street crunch beneath her shoulders, the back of her head following suit. She lay there, panting and dazed, but as soon as more robots materialized she leapt to her feet and brandished her fists, swinging drunkenly. ”Alright! I get it, you fucking wimp! You don’t wanna fight head-to-head ‘cause you know I’d win, so you send your stupid robots!” She scooped up a watermelon-sized chunk of the street and chucked it at the nearest robot with full force, roaring.

She didn’t even get the chance to see if she landed a hit. More force than she’d ever felt before struck her squarely in the torso, some piercing the fabric at her stomach, some threatening to dent the metal at her neck and collarbone. She cried out, launching back a good fifty feet across the street to destroy the front of an office building. She landed on the second floor in a heap of shattered glass and twisted metal, writhing in abject pain, belting out curse after curse.

Through the ringing in her ears, she heard the office workers who’d gathered at the window to watch the fight scatter, screaming like stupid asshole bystanders loved to do. Through the hole in the building, the robots hovered closer. Oh god, this guy is gonna fucking kill me. She scrambled for something to throw, but her silver skin faltered, threatening to turn back to weak flesh after all the abuse she’d taken. ”Nooo! No no no, fuck!”

Her hands lifted up in front of her face as she spotted the robots. "Stop! Fuck! You're a good guy, yeah? You won't kill a teenage girl! Shit, message received dude! Just lemme go!"

Oh, no worries- I was just asking, glad to see you're still around! Take your time, okay? No pressure.

@EnterTheHero

Thanks :( I know how much it sucks to get the action all slowed down.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Sorry, sorry! I've been dealing with online class and summer testing and all that crap, I apologize. I'll try to get a post up before tomorrow night, I've just been really absorbed in stuff.
