Call you paranoid, but you’re not entirely sure your double-dealing, drug-peddling, possibly psychopathic partner in crime is entirely on the level about all this.

You ask Laura to stay put for a moment and fade into invisibility, taking a brief tour of the area. You find yourself maneuvering through a dense maze of long, tall shipping crates, some clearly empty and forgotten. It doesn’t take you long to find several possible routes out of dodge, and you don’t run into anyone particularly suspicious (or anyone at all).

On your way back you pause to observe the operation. There's a good twenty, maybe thirty guys dragging boxes around. Seems like they’re moving cargo on, not off, a row of trucks sitting at the waterfront, engines humming. The crates make you kinda edgy - they're too big to be carrying drugs. Unless Creeper has happened on enough cocaine to keep the entire East Coast high for a year.

Soon enough you loop back around and rejoin Laura.

woo hm quest.

2 questions:
is every mutation 1 x point?
and: can we dip into the bank at any time?

other than that:
>[ ] Go ahead, look for Creeper.

>>29131111
1st lvl mutation is 1 point, 2 lvl is 2 points, 3 lvl 3 points and so on.

Core powers are -1 point per lvl, so 2nd lvl would be 1 point and 3rd lvl would be 2 points and so on.

Thanks.

We can dip into the bank at the end of each thread if we want to as far as I'm aware.

You sigh. When the thought of sleeping in a dilapidated ruin with a pair of recovering junkies is an appealing one, you know you’ve lost control of your life.

Glancing about nervously, you approach the scene, inviting a few unsavoury glances from the men getting the cargo loaded up. You’re looking for an invisible man, so you’re pretty much looking everywhere, feeling and probably appearing very profoundly lost.

In the corner of your eye, you glimpse a gaggle of figures standing beside the trucks, one of them glancing in your direction, his mouth suddenly moving. You look over at the person he’s addressing, and your heart shrinks down in your chest. You know this guy. Kind of.

The biggest, swolest black guy you’ve ever met, he stares at you with one good eye, the other whited-out by some horrific act of violence. The huge wifebeater he wears just barely keeps his muscles from popping out all over the place as he holds his hands up high, his grin a flash of gold. Even from there, a good twelve feet away, you can just about make out the F U C K etched into his four front teeth.

He worked for Creeper once or twice – contract, not regular. They called him Barracuda.

He struts toward you, grinning broadly.

“Ha! I ain’t seen you in years, dawg! What’s good? I heard you done run out on Creeper!?” Everything he says sounds like it should have an exclamation mark at the end. “Nobody though ‘choo had them kinda balls!”

He laughs like thunder.

>>29131281
Thats why I'm asking.

>>29131242

FUCK, THE CUDDA, FUCK NO, NOT THE FUCKING BARRACUDA, ALL IS LOST AND HOPE IS DEAD

>>29131242

"Yeah, well, gotta grow up some time. What's going on, Creeper here?"

>>29131218
Chill, i agree invis 4 is the best idea. hell, invis 5 is just a barrel of fun waiting to be opened in a fight (make the ground invisible down to 10k feet down caverns or some shit? yes please. fucking with peoples heads is always fun)

by the way i have a theory concerning creepers powers. If we get high enough senses we can just shut our eyes and sense him that way. Meaning we would have the upper hand in a fight.

>>29131242
option 1 and 5.
Write in: be chill with the guy, ignore any insults etc. he knows why your here (or can damn well guess) just ask were creepy is.

>>29131291
>>29131280
mind explaining?

>>29131310
All I know about the guy is that he was sent to kill punisher at some point.

>>29131242
>>[ ] Ask if he’s working regular or contract for Creeper.
>>[ ] “Uh, hey, is Creeper here?”

>>29131310

Baraccuda is a character introduced to be an opposite number to the punisher, he is a man who revels in death, hedonism, and being a gangsta. He is a Veteran and has done under the table work for the US government and assorted organized crime families across the country.

He has also eaten human flesh because why not. Rapes because it is funny. And has caused the destruction of a south american drug lord's country and then burned everything to the ground.

Fucker is HARD. Fucker is hard to kill. He laughed when Frank cut off his fingers. We will see horrors and Laura may well need to decapitate him by clawing off his thick head before the night is out, and it will be a just and deserved act of vigilantism.

JUST

Strength level
Peak Human Barracuda has demonstrated strength that is sufficient enough to snap steel chains and kick through the floor of an automobile. He has proven to be able to overpower the Punisher on numerous occasions. These instances, combined with his huge size and workout regimen, indicate that the Barracuda's strength is nearly superhuman.

>>29131427
If we do it, we gotta mean it. We gotta fucking mean it, he won't go down soft man, he won't go down soft.

>[X] “Uh, hey, is Creeper here?”
>[X] Ask if he’s working regular or contract for Creeper.

“Uh, hey…” What else are you supposed to even say? You thought this guy was kinda funny back in the day, but, in hindsight, his stories of cannibalism and extreme property damage probably shouldn’t have been all that hilarious. “…Is Creeper here?”

He shakes his head. “Naw, paranoid fuck flew me in ‘ta run this lil’ exchange for him.”

“You’re working for him now?” You really hope he isn’t.

“Just one job.” He corrects, his grin broadening further. Whew. “All this Jack shit he’s got goin’ on, that’s good, but I don’t like bein’ tied down, know what I’m sayin’?”

You’re pretty sure that was rhetorical.

He teeters over you, a towering mass of barely-contained force. You very vividly recall him literally punching a man’s jaw off. His good eye regards Laura for a moment, before turning back to you.

“Way I heard, you been doin’ pretty good. Taking on Spider-Man? That’s some hardcore shit right there!” You see it coming and brace for impact as he slaps you across the back. You think your lungs just moved an inch or two out of their proper place. “You a harcore muthafuckin’ gangsta now, huh!? Say it with me – I’m a hardcore muthafuckin’ gangsta!”

And at Laura's reaction.

>>29131463

“I’m….” You glance momentarily at Laura, a surfeit of awkward, coiling embarrassment rising in your stomach. She remains impassive. “…I’m a hardcore motherfucking… gangsta.”

Barracuda’s hand envelopes your shoulder. He grins down at you and you feel your claws struggling to stay sheathed.

“My nigga.”

“Haha… yeah…” You swallow, and scratch the back of your head. Words cannot describe how vulnerable you feel at this moment in time. “…You know, I didn’t really beat up Spider-Man, I just got away…”

“That ain’t how Creeper tells it, dawg.” You feel yourself being lead, surprisingly gently, toward the ship. “Way he tells it, you an’ your girl straight-up fooled his ass. So what he’s got for ya’ll tonight is some simple shit – he wants this here deal to go down smooth. You an’ me an’ my boy Mortimer”– You glance about. That was one of the guys with Creeper, right? You don’t see him anywhere. –“we’re gonna sit tight ‘till it’s all done. Anyone comes starting shit, you’re gonna pop some of that gangsta shit you pulled with Spidey on ‘em.”

You swallow. Again.

“You dig?”

>>29131753

>>29131780
We are here to make sure no heroes stops the deal.(so security.)

>>29131654

We should probably just go invisible if shit happens and throw shit.

>>29131786
was meaning knocking him out with taser hands.

Killing heros is a bad baad idea. For many reasons.

>[X] Yes, you dig.

“Yeah…” You feel a cold chill run through you. This will end in blood. “…I can do that.”

You can do that.

He leads you and Laura up to the ship. It’s a behemoth vessel, stocked with scores of crates, and it seems like more and more just keep coming. Meanwhile, you’re keeping an ear out for anything out of the ordinary, scanning the scene in all spectrums available to you. It doesn’t take you long to pick out a low heat signature standing atop one of the crates, core temperature at substantially less than normal. Is that Mortimer? He felt kinda cold to the touch.

Oddly enough, the containers themselves are huge bundles of heat. You almost want to ask what the hell’s inside them.

As you make your way onto the deck, Laura wrinkles her nose, breathing sharply.

“Whassup, girl?” Booms Barracuda. You’re a little surprised he noticed that. "You got somethin' in your nose?"

“It's nothing.” She replies, quietly.

Patrol. Slowly and in cover.

>>29131796
I was meaning more along the lines of 'what is the deal'.
It's Creeper, so it's likely large quantities of Jack. That's bad enough. But there are a few possibilities that are much worse.
Like, you know, people.

>[X] Ask what’s in the containers

“Er…” You pull your coat in tighter as a breeze patters along the water. “…Laura and I are gonna take a look around. That alright?”

Barracuda grins back at you both, and you see enough quiet intelligence in that one good eye of his to feel thoroughly scrutinized. He shrugs.

“I ain’t expectin’ all too many problems, but ‘choo might as well.” He nods for you to head on. “Get on wid’ it.”

Did he just wink at you?

You wander quietly along the length of the ship, glancing across row upon row of shipping crates. They’re packed so tight, even the open sky above feels kinda claustrophobic here. You cough awkwardly and fix your eyes on Laura. She’s staring straight ahead, her nose occasionally twitching.

“You know what’s inside?”

She nods.

“Do I want to know?”

She stops, and turns toward you. Her eyes linger on you for a good few seconds.

“I don’t know.”

You feel a lump settle in your throat. You sidle along a little and lean close to one of the crates, sniffing.

Sweat, blood, adrenaline, piss.

Christ.

Part of me wants to free them (We can totally take giganigga) and let everyone else run, but then our friends would be in danger. Moral dilemmas ahoy!

But that's a pretty big 'if' considering this guy is trained to be aware of his surroundings.
He doesn't look with only his eyes too.

>>29132146
Or if it's the Punisher, we fucking run.

And maybe Barracuda put a tracker on us?

>>29132266
If it's the Punisher, we open containers and run.

>>29132266

we have senses out of the wazoo, but if you feel its a possibility then feel free to ask for us to check for the next action.

That'll take too much time.

>>29132201
That's a good point, we can tip the good guys in on this later. Safer than trying to fight Barracuda.

>>29132266

I wouldn't put it pass him.

>>29132071
>[ ] State your Action.
Tell Laura that if some of the superhero types arrive, we'll just let them have this one.

We're morally ambiguous to just sit on our asses and do nothing, but to put our lives on the line to defend slavers? No deal hose.

I still think it's a setup with Laura's handlers inside the crates.

>>29132323
That's not how you spell Jose.

>>29132352
Too many crates for that. Besides, if it is, itll become very very apparent shortly. Also she would recognized their smell and already have bailed.

You throat is going dry. You want to heave. There’s so many crates.

“Those…” You motion toward the container nearest you. “…Those are people?”

Or just lots of organs? No, that doesn’t account for all the piss. All the heat. Oh, Christ.

Laura nods.

Fuck. Was Creeper always doing this? You don’t remember hearing anything – not a peep – of this crap. But he didn’t tell you everything, did he? And he only got worse and worse as time went by, he only got stranger, and sicker, and, well, creepier.

“You don’t have to do this.”

“No – no, I do.” As much as it eats you up, what else are you gonna do? You gonna waltz out and blow all these fuckers away? Maybe if Noriko was here, maybe you could do something, but what are you? You’re just one guy, and one guy amounts to nothing. “I do.”

You breathe.

“If anything does happen, we let it.”

She nods.

You keep walking, trying not to stare to long at any one container.

>[X] Move around the ship randomly.

You wander at random, not really entirely sure what you should be doing. Creeper has a few thugs watching his cargo, no doubt armed with an assortment of firearms, but they mostly ignore you, the occasional furtive glance being the only contact between you and them. You wonder if they all know you’re a mutant.

You cycle between heatvision and the mundane spectrum. Every now and then you catch a glimpse of maybe-Mortimer jumping to a different container. He doesn’t seem to be following you, but he’s never far away.

The night deepens. An hour passes in slow, agonizing quiet.

You’re dawdling with Laura at the bottom of a set of stairs near the stern of the ship, when your ears catch a familiar, sharp hiss passing through the air. You delve back through your memory.

It’s just a split-second, but in there are eons of stretching, burning black. You fall away into the lake and the night, and you remember the streak of white that arced out along the beach and blasted out into fire.

You throw yourself down. Like an arrow of smoke, the RPG sails by, slicing through the night and on into the ship. Your ears sting as a bellow of fire and light erupts from further along the deck, smoke bulging out into the sky. People scream and you hear Barracuda shouting in his ridiculously loud voice, and suddenly Laura is helping you to your feet.

“John?” She’s calm. She’s too calm. “Are you alright?”

You nod frantically. You're alright. You're not dead.

just stay cool, be quick, we can do this

>>29132993

Its more likely that Creeper actually overestimates us, what with having gotten away from Spiderman. He thinks we are better than we really are, and are just downplaying it because we have no confidence (he knows that part of our character well).

This make sure the fucker does not see our faces or knows our names.

>>29133043
Frankly hes probably laughing at us. For all he knows (about our strengths) we can just turn invisible and run away. The fact we got away from spidey means we might be better at it than he thought so before. Don't forget, you do not earn a reputation in the underworld that damn easily.

You wobble up onto your feet, your ears ringing, and squint out into the vast black of the waters. At this range even your eyes find the dark a little enclosing, but you’re pretty certain of what you can see – there’s a speedboat racing over the water towards the ship. In fact, there’s more than one.

Shit. Shit.

“Come on.”

You race your way across deck, heading toward the site of the blast. You see it almost immediately – a huge, fiery wound, seeping streams of black, roiling smoke into the night. You don’t know what the rocket hit, but it collapsed a whole bunch of containers. One of them leans awkwardly atop another, dislodged by the blast, a thin gaze of fire lapping at its doors.

Fire. You feel yourself freeze up.

Around you, men with guns mill about, racing to the edges of the ship. Barracuda strides toward the mess, surveying the flames with the silently furious demeanor of an warrior-god. Scenes of reputed cannibalism and human sacrifice fill your head, like visions of ancient and lost Teotihuacan.

“There’s, uh…” God, what are you even doing here? You point back the way you came. “…There’s boats, coming from… coming that way.”

Barracuda fixes in his one-eyed grin on you. “Right then. Y’all hear that!” He bellows at the top of his lungs, addressing… pretty much everyone. “Some sonsabitches wanna play!” His voice lowers as he turns back to you. “Best get ready, dawg.”

You swallow, staring past him, at the fire licking its way along the downed crates.

“Some-someone has to move those crates.”

He glances back, his expression indicating that this is the absolute first thought he has afforded to them. His throat rumbles and you realize he’s chuckling.

“Naw, you ain’t bein’ paid to play construction hero, boy.” He motions toward the stern, striding past you. “Jus’ get ready to blow some mutherfuckas away.”

Fire. There’s always fire.

You mumble something about the goods. No use to anyone if they’re damaged. No way you’re giving Creeper an excuse to cheat you out of your freedom. Somethingsomething. You don’t know if he heard, don’t know how much of it you even said.

The fire is your universe now.

You charge across the deck. Perhaps you shout or scream. Barracuda does, he shouts something at you, but you don’t hear it. Your heart thunders in your ears, drowning the world in blood.

The heat washes over you and you close it out. You hit the container running, fire lapping hungrily at your bootheels, metal hot to the touch. It groans aside, sparks flying as you shunt it across the metal flooring, your shoulder leaving a deep impression in the steel. You expound on the initial shunt and push, throwing your back into it, feeling the sweat pool across your brow and blood charge in your veins. This thing is a lot heavier than a tree, but slowly, laboriously, it shifts.

You heave it out of the hot-zone, though it’s still leaning precariously against one of the other crates. And it’s still hot. They must be –

Wait. Wait a minute.

It was ridiculously hot a second ago. Nearly burned you right through your gloves. And now it’s… not.

You can’t just sit here and let this go. Who cares if you open just one container? It could’ve been opened by the blast.

You reach out to grasp the huge, metal hinges that line the crate, pulling with all your might. They groan and buckle, and you feel the entire structure loosening slightly. Just a little more now. Just a little more time, a little more strength.

Your heart flutters. You feel the slightest hint of strangeness, the slightest little pulse circulate briefly through the door, through the metal, through your hands and feet and up through the hairs on your head. Life shuts down around you and you sense the tiniest fractures spread through the door, the steel concaving outward, the air shifting.

For the second time today, you throw yourself down, falling straight on your back. The entire door, hinges and all, soars over you, flying out into the night. Life rushes back.

Something heavy lands on your chest. You wheeze. Someone. People run. Footfalls flood the metal under your back. They rush past, swarming. The someone is skinny, night blurs around them, no stars, just smoke.

They punch you in the face. There are stars now.
