Do we go on without him, then?

So... Should I post? Or the Co-GM?

S.U.P.E.D.

Any clue where he is?

S.U.P.E.D.

Arkhtan split as soon as Daniel shouted his challenge. Ok, maybe he stopped to grab that last slurp of soda. And to use the restroom. Hey, all that snacking's gotta go somewhere, right? Also, who knows when you might find some clean facilities again?

That aside, he teleported himself to the scene as soon as he was finished his business, just in time to see Ronin dispatch a particularly large specimen of mutant. Feeling particularly dramatic, he whipped up a spectacular

illusionary form

floating above the middle of the street, added some rumbles of thunder for good effect, and called in a booming voice to all who would hear.

Puny mortals, you have incurred wrath of a fearsome kind. You have set foot upon the domain of the Great Djinni of the Lamp. I, protector of this fine city, shall not allow such denigration to stand! Behold, YOUR DOOM!

With that statement, an immense roar of thunder echoed across the battlefield, and Arkhtan hoped that one of his teammates would give him a wish to back that display.

S.U.P.E.D.

Keep in mind that you guys are gonna have to wish off of me for my character to be much use. Just something along the lines of "Djinni, I wish that you would help us defeat the enemy."

Also, is my writing up to par? I'm a bit out of practice.

S.U.P.E.D.

Arkhtan pondered Lilly's statement for a moment, then spoke up. "We could ask for it in advance. We have a good enough reputation, and if they're offering this much, the town must be desperate." Alternatively, he thought to himself, nobody could tell the difference between "missing", and "destroyed." "There's no harm in asking, right?" He watched the screen as one of the heroes slammed into the wall, knocking out a pivotal support beam in a parking garage, and one of the sides slumped down. "Either way, if we're gonna take the offer, we should probably go soon. Else there won't be anyone to pay us."

S.U.P.E.D.

Hmm, I wasn't expecting my office to be made into the main room, unless you're referring to another ridiculously large television screen. With as much as we get paid, and such a small group, we can each afford an extravagant office.

S.U.P.E.D.

Haha, nice.

Anything else?

S.U.P.E.D.

The Djinni sat in his office, noisily slurping the dregs of a banana-lime milkshake. These modern times are incredible, he thought to himself. There are so many different foods to choose from, each deliciously unhealthy. The phone rang, and for a moment, he wondered if he should answer it. Noticing the caller ID, he just glared at it for a moment, and let it keep ringing. This particular customer, one "Mayor of New York", had a bit of pest problem, and had been bugging the S.U.P.E.D. for a couple days now, trying to get their help. He kept trying to "appeal to their good side", by which we know he meant, "pay less money." It's not even worth the trip to the Big Apple for a measly 50 grand. These dumb municipal guys can't get it into their heads that quality takes quantities; of money. Arkhtan grinned at his wit. I should write a book. He mentally clapped himself on the shoulder, then stood up.

The tall windows and lofty ceiling gave the expensive office grandeur, and the thick carpeting and scenic paintings gave it a sense of comfort and tranquility. A small colored fountain sat on a pedestal by the door, depicting a toga-wearing woman emptying a wine pitcher. The soft burble of water was drowned out by rock music emanating from a 64" flatscreen TV on the wall opposite Ark's desk. A soundproofed glass barrier divided the room in half, with his desk and work area on one side, and the TV, a thick, green sofa, and lacquered coffee table marked the other as a relaxation lounge. The Djinni set the phone to take messages, tossed the now-empty milkshake cup into a trash bin, and moved to the sofa. He grinned as he picked up the remote and a bag of pretzels, and wondered why he'd ever worked for free in his life.
