Listen to the wall/door and count heat beats. we will probably have to use our scent and infrared ability's when we are inside, but we can do that when the family is not looking.
Hopefully they do not dislike mutants to any great degree.

Smell/hear around, then knock. Also come up wit an excuse why we have no fucking clothes on?
Then go away and grab a jacket.

Can we call Rogue "Coma Girl" now?

What music do the other group members like? I totally see Rogue loving Taylor Swift

If JJ gets into conspiracy theories, he'd basically be superpowered Fox Mulder.

If JJ gets agi lvl 5, what would be the visual change? Spidey butt?

Does the Extremis rip-off fully kick in at age 18? Or when someone has finished "growing" their original power set? Cause JJ's 18 and all this shit is going on, though it could be because of him being #0

Does JJ have Niemann-Pick and/or Roberts syndrome? Or did he have it in utero?

Does JJ's agility help with musicianship?

Also look out for nearby trash cans. Maybe something good is int there. (check with senses).

>>32329565
I imagine that he's more on lookout for mutant control/creeper's thugs than coins.

Still, he hasn't had senses 5 for that long, so it's not that strange he hasn't figured out the smell of coins.

>[X] Listen at the door.
>[X] Knock.

Deciding that your privacy is more valuable than the Soames’, you lean up against the aggressively purple portal, listening in. You catch a lot of background sound – the slow, steady groan of floorboards, the minute rattling of windows, but you filter through it. Someone’s playing a radio somewhere – sounds like Paint It Black, you think. Trying to focus solely on the specific intonations of biology, you clear aside the mutterings of the house, and pick three heartbeats out of the din.

Making sure that your cheap sunglasses (that should be your codename, you muse) are in place, you knock hesitantly at the door. A bundle of nerves slowly extends out through your stomach, unravelling up your intestines and diffusing, as if via osmosis, into your bloodstream, your bones, the seat of your skull. You check your shades again and cough pre-emptively, clearing your throat.

Eventually, the door edges open, and a short, slightly chunky woman in her late thirties glances out up at you. She’s wearing a drab, obfuscating turtleneck and the kind of excessively long skirt a nun might wear. She has a vaguely harried look etched into the crevices of her face.

>>32329822
I'm not even talking about actively looking for money. Just walking along with excessively high senses and the sheer population amount of New York.

>(2/2)

“Mrs. Soames?” You venture.

She nods, glancing over your shoulder momentarily. “You’re Mr. Girling?”

Yes. Yes you are. That was the best you could come up with on the fly. You nod in confirmation and she slowly opens the door, letting you in. The house looks about what you expected on the inside – long corridor running up its midsection, flanked on either side by openings into larger rooms. A set of stairs lead up to a small landing up above. It’s cosy. Lots of warm colours. Nice paintings of… stuff. Sort of abstract stuff.

“Could I get you anything?” She asks, rubbing her hands nervously, as if trying to wring something out of them. “Coffee? Tea?”

>[ ] “Tea/Coffee would be nice, thank you.”
>[ ] “Is your husband in?”
>[ ] “No thanks, that’s okay.”

We should probably do the standard check:

“No thanks.” You say it without thinking. In actuality, a nice warm drink would’ve been pretty much a godsend, but it’s out now. You can’t go back, lest you appear awkward and weird. Gotta keep going. “That’s okay.”

She eyes you a little oddly, and you realize that she’s probably just now beginning to take in the strangeness of your appearance – the tears, the generally not-very-sleuthish clothing, possibly the smell. You panic a little, and desperately claw for something to say, something that’ll distract her from the weirdness in front of her.

“How’re you holding up, Mrs. Soames?” You probably should’ve asked that anyway. Yeah.

“Oh, I’m…” She stops rubbing her hands together, but she sort of grips at the hem of her jumper instead, knuckles whitening very slightly. Her pulse dips and quavers, stumbling over itself a little. “…I’m fine… it’s been difficult, but I’m quite alright…”

You’re not sure you believe that. Suddenly you realize where exactly you are, that this is more than just a job, and you have a chance to help these people.

“I think it might be best if I get started right away.” You say, softly. “Could I see the scene of the crime.”

The woman fixes you will a short, wide stare, before seeming to remember something and nodding anxiously.

>(2/2)

“Yes, yes, of course…” She guides you up the stairs, toward a tellingly pink door on one side of the landing. As you approach, she clears her throat and apologizes for staring earlier, commenting that – and this honestly could not make you feel more awkward – you smell a little like lilies.

Placing a careful hand on the doorknob, she ushers you into the room beyond.

It’s… pretty much exactly how you’d expect a young girl’s room to look. A bed sits along one wall, alongside a dresser cluttered with various photos and assorted paraphernalia. There’s a wardrobe on the other side of the room, and a desk-cum-bookshelf fully stocked with all kinds of adolescent fiction. Her schoolbag lies slumped at its feet and there’s a window on the far side of the room, overlooking their garden.

“We’ve kept it exactly as it was…” She chuckles a little weirdly. Like steam venting. “The police didn’t, didn’t even want to take anything…”

Since sniffing the air right in front of her would be obvious.

On an unrelated note. How many levels in electrostatc touch would it take to take to knock out Trigger scent Laura?

I'm assuming Trigger scent Laura is somewhat like warp spasm JJ. I'm guessing level 3 would be able to put her out of commission until it wears off.

>>32330704

I thought Typhon invented Jack. He sold the formula to another scientist to help fund his work. And he used a variant of Jack to build the cocoon. The liquid in the cocoon didn't actually come from JJ.

>>32330737
level 1 is basically a stun gun, against an unfortified nervous system (like lauras) it will work quite well to disable her. All we need to do them is ground her and keep her pinned.

This is of course if running is not an option.

>>32330524
tell her to you changed your mind and would love a cuppa

The thread where we came out of the cocoon. Typhon told Laura that he wasn't paid enough to fund his research so he had to look for other sources of income.

>>32330864
Near instantly is like 5 or 10 minutes. That's plenty.
Worst case scenario repeat. Also she should run in different direction, when not under influence of the scent.
We should talk this over with her, and ask what snaps her out of the trigger scent.

“Was there…” You strain to think of official-sounding stuff. Stuff detectives are supposed to ask. “…Was there any kind of argument before the disappearance?”

Mrs. Soames shakes her head. “No… the police asked that, too.”

Well, you thought as much. You’re not exactly sure how a truant preteen could’ve fixed together this whole closed room deal anyhow. Seems a little complicated for a ten-year-old.

“And the police found nothing of interest?” You ask, grasping for some orientation. You’re not a forensic scientist. You have one tried and tested method for getting answers out of a place, and you can’t really pull that shit with Mrs. Soames watching your ever move. “Nothing at all?”

She pauses, biting her fingers a little, and leads you over to the window, pointing down at a set of long, thin scrapings along the bottom of the windowsill. You can see that they extend all the way along the wood, both inside and out.

>>32330961

“They thought it looked like a, a sign of entry, or something, but the window was still locked from the inside, so…” So they dropped it, you guess. “Detective Watanabe”– Wait, what? Oh, right, yeah. Ms. Phantom’s contact in the NYPD, the one in her notes. –“said that it could be something, um… supernormal. Like that girl with the X-people, the one that can walk through walls.”

You know the one. Shadowlion or something. Shadekitten. Whatever. Hopefully there’s no relation to this case and the X-Men haven’t added unprovoked kidnapping to their long, long list of brushes with the law.

You sigh. Well, at least you seem to have a point of reference now. But you could really do with some space to flex your powers…

“Thank you, Mrs Soames. If you don’t mind, I’d like to inspect the area alone.” Not entirely certain of how authoritative you sound, you quickly add: “This can be delicate work.”

She starts slightly, glancing to and fro among her daughter’s possessions, and nods a little nervously.

“Of course, of… of course.”

She leaves, telling you to ask her if you need anything.

>>32330920
lol. You people are obviously not well versed in x-men comics.

Trigger scent doesn't wear off the second she stops smelling it. And, DBing off her face won't even stun her. You could cut off her arm and she would just gut you with her other arm. If you tear out her eyes she will claw randomly until she hits something.

You people have no idea how badass Laura really is. DB will be useless.

>>32331019

The breath can ignite flammable substances like clothing.

>>32331084
>Trigger scent doesn't wear off the second she stops smelling it.

No, it takes a couple seconds once she's out of the scented area, but what does work is rinsing the scent away.

JJ dragon breaths himself, Laura won't attack him if it destroys the scent.

>>32331095
It doesn't, but lvl 1 is not fire breath, it's gas breath.

Will we ever go back to that TabbyCat job or have you people dropped it forever?
I don't understand why we decided to take up detective job before checking it out.

>>32331084
We blind her, and run away.
How long does it take for it to wear off?
I assume we can dodge that shit about same as avoiding pack of rabid dogs?

Also if she can't smell the scent for 10+ minutes, she should be sane enough to walk the other way.

The breath can ignite highly flammable substances, clothing, while flammable, is not THAT flammable.

Afterall, the first time a guy got sprayed with it, a lighter in his pocket exploded, but his clothes did not catch on fire from the breath.

A stream of bright, scalding gases pour from your open mouth, washing over him. He screams in pain and squeezes down his weapon’s trigger, the shot streaking harmlessly by. Layla shrieks behind the dumpster.

Fire roars out over the kid’s chest, tearing hungrily through his jacket. You recoil instinctively, the terrible smell of scorched flesh filling your nose. Must’ve ignited something in his jacket – a lighter, by the smell of things.

Ha funny. Unless you serious. Trigger scent makes her kill everything she sees. Not just the stuff that has trigger scent on it.

>>32331149
Her eyes will just grow back. And so will her nose. Running away is an option. But if there is anyone else in the area she'll just murder them instead of us.

As far as time limits go. The only time I actually read anything were she gets trigger scented she was in a remote area so she just ran away after running out of people to kill.

>Hurrrrrrr Durrrrrr

Read the comic where she goes to her cousins, the only reason she and her mom survive is because they hop in the shower together.

She only kills those marked with the trigger scent, which tends to be everyone because it's in the fucking air, but could still be used in smaller doses for precise assassinations.

Take your own advice and read the comics.

You afford the room a cursory thermal glance, revealing a cloying world of shifting blue tones. There’s no abnormal heat spots or anything, the only traces of body heat being the vague imprints left in Mrs. Soames’ wake. Closing your eyes, you breathe in deeply, sweeping up the dust and the old hardwood floor and the creeping green outside. The place smells of everything – it’s lived in, unlike most of the scar, existing to your sense of smell as a stain upon a stain upon a stain, all mixed up and blended together and sopping this way and that. You slowly begin to separate the occasional scent from the reoccurring, the uncommon from the common, and finally, the common from the constant.

Soft hair. Tangerines. Running through puddles. Sweat. Long Sundays under the bedsheets. You find Tildie.

Her scent is everywhere, still peeling off the walls somewhat under a week after her disappearance. Interestingly, though? It doesn’t trail down the window. Oh, her hands are all over it, sure, but that’s not the way she left.

You stop to just listen. The floorboards creak under you and the wind whispers through the gnarled, stooped tree outside. Below, the music has changed – you think it’s Spirit in the Sky now – and you can hear people talking. Mrs. Soames, and one you don’t recognize. Mr. Soames, you assume. They’re on the verge of argument. Mr. Soames doesn’t seem to think it was a good idea to leave you alone.

We probably won't be the only ones in the area. So, I would rather she attack us than someone that can't dodge he attacks. What we need is a way to knock her unconscious like a few more levels in taser hands so she wont hurt anyone.

Another level in agility would definitely help to.

She might have that power where she just becomes completely unnoticed!

We could just knock her the fuck out.

Strength 2 with a full-on punch could do it. Maybe get Strength 3 and do an uppercut, try to shatter the jaw.

>>32331449

Kevin is the fucking juggernaut, Sure She might loose arm, or a leg, but Kevin can theoretically dick slap the juggernaut.
Noriko has the tazer 9000.
No strength necessary, if best she can do is scratch, before passing out/loosing claw.
Idk Can Kevin do something to her claws tho?

He's a short, hairy, angry Canadian (angry Canadian seems an odd combination) with pointy hand-bits and popularity meaning he wins stuff.

Laura is more difficult because she has more locations where pointy bits pop out.

Ideas for a new explorative or two.

#1: Using Healing 3, some higher level of Claws and Subdermal, JJ can temporarily armor a weakened or broken part of his body (like an arm, leg, etc.) until he can focus mainly on healing or gets medical attention.

#2: Using some collection of abilities as well as Enhanced Flexibility, he can sort of stretch his body like Eugene Tooms from The X-Files.

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_%28The_X-Files%29

#3: Photosynthetic Biology, Healing and Genetic Mimicry, JJ can shed his skin like Husk but the new skin is more like whatever person he's copying.

“...do you want us to do?” That’s Mrs. Soames. “What exactly should we be doing?”

“Look, I just…” Mr. Soames (?) sighs angrily, pacing himself through whatever he’s about to say. “…I just don’t like the idea of these people running around our house. Don’t tell me you don’t understand that?”

“I do, Donald!” She sounds exasperated. Tired. They both do, actually. “I do! I just – What else are we going to do?”

There is a long, bitter silence.

As you wait, feeling just a little oddly guilty, it occurs to you that you picked out three heartbeats on your way in. Was Tildie not an only child? There didn’t seem to be a third bedroom anywhere on the second floor. Maybe they have a pet?

Focusing your ears, you dig deeper, rooting through the quiet heaving of the brick and the mortar and the old, creaking wood, and eventually pick it out again, two floors down. Not really picking anything else up off it – it’s not talking to anyone or anything. The family pet theory seems likely.

Your attention is caught by Mr. Soames voice suddenly rising.

“Alright, alright!” He shoves something down on a surface. A table or something. “But I’m checking on him in a minute. He could be doing anything up there.”

Subdermal kind of does that, but I meant like to armor/strengthen/fortify it more than usual.

I've seen them joke about the fact that he was on all the super hero teams at the same time during the Skrull shit. Like how was it mutantly possible for anyone but Maddrox to do that.
Unbreakable skeleton (that occasionally has the flaw of too heavy for him to swim in and at least once had a mention of high enough super-strength can still bend it to where he can't breathe), regeneration, senses, above average strength combined with regen to act stronger than he is. Basic feral package mixed with military upgrades and the best of regeneration abilities (given how often/quickly he heals from burns, which should be damn hard to regen from anyway).
