Heh little do you know JJ... well, unless someone kills you.

No questions from me, we will probably catch up with her later, but we do not know what we are going to end up in so no promises.

Give her the current situation if she doesn't know already.

Did we ever disclose our new OPTIC BLAST powers to X23? It's the sort of thing I'd expect to be included in the news but just in case.

JJ is fast burning candle. Even with the ridiculous healing we have, we mutate at least once a week. Sooner or later it will go out of control.

Okay, so most people seem to just want to update her and head out.

>writan

>>38133187
Not really, JJ can stabilize eventually, hence why we should never really get any instability point powers, or only 1 point maximum. I personally would er on not getting any and just maxing out optics.

However, on regards to age his healing 3 is powerful enough to keep him in prime instead of growing old (every tissue is able to regenerate to new and does so due to the self image principle, that's all which is required to stop aging)

I like to think its were JJ is bribing her and she has realized hes going to say he did something, so she is giving him the huffed/annoyed look.

yeah. I agree with you about the angry bit. Reminds me more of her Xmen Evo incarnation...which I think was her first one.

True.

Well… you guess you better get going.

“Right then…” You pause for a moment, patting any stray crumbs from your jacket. “…I’m heading off to the Tabbycat for a while. I reckon I can get something out of Silvermane if I promise to help him get his granddaughter back.”

Laura nods, swallowing a bite of food back.

“I saw the story. It’s a solid decision.” She pauses, as if stepping momentarily into a memory. “Family can be one of the most optimal forms of leverage.”

That makes you feel a little uncomfortable. You can’t stop thinking about it, even after you kiss her goodbye and make your way out into the cold. Her lips are a momentary respite in a bustle of mixed feelings. You didn’t want to think about the whole thing like that – as leverage. You thought about it as you helping him and him helping you. But it is leverage, isn’t it?

Slowly, it sinks in. You’re about to blackmail a crime lord.

You make your way towards the river, the city narrowing down as you transition out the mottled greys and browns of the Queens, walls growing, alleys lengthening, like shadows under a setting sun. You take your time, but no matter how slowly you pace yourself, you cannot wrench the seconds themselves to a halt, and eventually you find yourself crossing the road toward the Tabbycat, the great, stone felines standing guard at the door seeming to stare down their noses at your every action.

They always sorta give you a Sphinx-ish impression, like they’re about to spring to life and pose a deadly riddle to you. You’re probably a lot harder to catch than Oedipus was, though, so you don’t know why they make you feel so unnerved.

The bouncer, a sheer wall of slate-faced muscle, steps in your way as you approach the entrance.

You sigh.

You look him up and down. He shares with you two traits – firstly, his eyes are hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses, and secondly, he could almost certainly push a man’s teeth through the back of his throat. But you can probably break him in half, suit and all, and you’d be lying if you said that thought didn’t inspire a certain amount of confidence in you.

Some of that confidence clearly comes through in your voice, because when you tell him that you have a meeting with Ms. Hardy, he barely pauses before standing aside.

Puffing up slightly, you make your way inside, feeling strangely at home in the musky half-light of the club. There’s few people around at this hour – the bar is tended but mostly inactive, the tables are occupied only be a skeleton crew of disparate patrons, and the alcoves at the back are untouched. There’s no music yet either.

You make your way to the bar, intending to ask after Ms. Hardy, when a familiar voice beckons to you from across the room.

“Mr. Green.”

You glance up, and are treated to the sight of Ms. Hardy, her hair let down for once, descending the spiraling stairway leading up to the second floor. Her eyes never stray far from you as she click-click-clicks her way down, staring out from under a fringe of bright, silvery hair.

“Meeting the Cajun again?” Her lips curve upward into a tiny smile. “It’s rather early for that. He seemed to me like a night person.”

Level 4: JJ shakes off fatigue and illness more easily when under the sun. He can choose to temporarily boost one of his attributes to heightened levels by burning through stored solar energy.

That's +1 to all the things.

>>38134358
I disagree, I think it's in character for JJ to be over apologetic given he's a bundle of raw nerves, not because he's necessarily sincere in his apology.

>>38134358
>I feel that's more posters who can't let any perceived wrong go.

>>38134357

>>38134384
Yes, but we have to mandate using that. It does not auto use.

>>38134399
That is JJ after having the day just shit on him constantly, that is not valid normal behavior.

>>38134358
True. Still, I would rather JJ try to get that piano job again than be a private eye. PI got us shotgunned, in the middle of the Sinister Five, and becoming Lunar Lizard. Our one piano night was just a free audition.

>>38134384
Yeh, but it's probably not worth burning through our reserves for something like this. We might need those to keep from getting ravenous overnight.

>>38134384
I thought we were at level 3. I also think r the reason why we aren't getting charges is because JJ's metabolism is getting faster. Thus we'll need level 4 soon.

>>38134435
Why not both?

>>38134435
PI lets Crusty advance the plot though. And it pays really well

>>38134435
PI work is flexible and fits JJ's lifestyle.

>>38134470
>>38134456
>>38134435

I feel JJ enjoys being a PI, he gets to help people, which scratches that little inner itch of maybe not being a good guy.

>>38134456
You think playing piano in a mob joint wouldn't advance the plot? We have super senses and would be located in a trove of information. Also, piano man gets paid to play requests. I think it would have been a fun and very different alternative, but what we're doing now is pretty cool too.

>>38134456
Eh, we have plots we can do without work subplots. Creeper isn't a PI job, Kimura isn't a PI job, The Oni isn't a PI job, etc. It would just be like when we chuck papers. Only this way we can constantly overhear the caped crowd.

>>38134499
I think that's where I feel it fits. JJ gets to help people, satisfy his heroic syndrome urges, and get paid. Win/win

>>38134499
I feel like nothing JJ has experienced during his PI jobs would actually give any credibility to this claim.

It pays well, but for a reason.

>>38134588
He helped the nightmare girl, saved people at the gang meeting he would not have been there to save otherwise, and got as drunk as he can right now with Remy on a bunch of super villains money.

I wonder if he picked up how Remy was cheating in that game.

>>38134588
Well, we stopped the Sinister Six from hurting a lot of innocent people, and we set up an innocent mutie girl with the Blonde Phantom to get help. It hasn't been a smooth transition, but yes JJ has helped people and internally as far as I read seems to like that

>(1/2)

>[X] Small talk + Remy.

“No.” You bite back the urge to immediately ask her what she knows about Remy. Because, clearly, she knows something. “That a new hairstyle, by the way?”

Her smile remains where it is, hovering at just above room temperature.

“It’s an old one, actually. I’ve been feeling nostalgic.”

Righty then.

“It’s nice.” With that out of the way, it’s totally time to ask about Remy. “Spot on about Remy, by the way. I guess you know him?”

“I’ve known him at times.” She says, as she steps off the stairs, her heels clicking upon the floor of the club. “He’s done some work for me before, and we’ve worked together. I can’t help but wonder what kind of business you’d have with a man like him.”

Ah. That seems sort of suggestive. You’re not sure that was a question, but it definitely could have been one, and you don’t know if you’re even supposed to be in a position to answer on the behalf of the Agency.

“He worked here?” You say, deflecting the issue. Ms. Hardy shakes her head, her hair swaying through the dark, reminding you of moonlight over sand.

It was a gangster meeting. Not exactly innocent people and he wasn't exactly told to do that either.

>>38134582
True, it's just my personal preference for suave piano lizard-elf over Dirty JJ: Lizard-Elf on the case. That is also not saying we were going Dirty Harry, just a hobo joke. Also the first time we played piano in the quest, JJ was overcome with feels to the point of tears, where his first PI case was being overcome with shotgun to the point of bleeding. We did help that kid though, also we solved that case in like 10 minutes tops.

“Various freelance jobs.” She clarifies, walking past you, to the bar. She raises a finger, and, as if tuned into some telepathic wavelength you’re not privy to, the girl behind the counter begins making a drink. “He retrieved an item or two on the behalf of my employer. Also starred in one of our most popular home productions.”

“Uh…” You’re a bit lost there.

Her smile lengthens, giving you the distinct impression of internal laughter.

“Pornography, dear.” …What? You cough awkwardly. “There’s a small studio in the other wing of this building. People will pay a great deal for footage of handsome young men and women with” – she lifts her fingers, indicating toward her eyes – “features like his.”

I kinda want JJ to sign up for a film with Laura and then somehow send the DVD of it to Kimura.

JJ just wants to be a star though

>Aww yeah baby incubate dem eggs, that's right

>>38134950

EMM hasn't done much yet. We've only had one training session with it.

>>38135030
Agility 5 and enhanced contortion get their greatest workout

>>38134998
No, we were taken down stairs and fell down when we tried to get back up. Your memory is foggy.

Sure as hell better than perpetual dreamless medical coma for the rest of her life, which is what the camps would have likely done. Stop complaining about the best outcome happening for the girl.

>>38134717
wait...is she also implying that she's done porn? i know she's implying mutants but im not sure if she's implying both in which case...can we get that video?

>>38135085

So is pornstar JJ an alternate uni?

>get genetic mimicry
>get celebrity bodily fluids

Not a serious idea.

My goal if we ever get genetic mimicry is to find and kill danny devito so we can take his place and make all the danny devito porn that nobody wanted

>[X] Business.

“That’s…” Man, your cheeks must be positively glowing right now. They could turn out the lights and navigate purely via JJ-luminance in here. “…I’m not sure I wanted to know that. Uh, just so you know, not interested.”

Ms. Hardy chuckles quietly as the bartender hands her her drink. It smells of milk and vodka.

“I didn’t think you would be.” She pauses, taking a long sip. “You’d be popular, though. If you bulked up a little.”

No. Just no.

“Yeah, well…” Wait, actually, was that a compliment? Or a solicitation? Is it hot in here? “…Thanks, uh, I guess. But, um, I actually wanted to talk to you about something else…” Wow this is awkward. All that confidence you stepped in with is just draining and draining and draining away… “Basically, I need to talk to Silvermane. You work for him, right?”

She glances up from her drink, and you feel her eyes press through you, like shards of bright blue ice.

“What is this about, Mr. Green?”

You clear your throat, trying to push some of the awkwardness back down, deep into the pit of your belly. You can feel your claws edging at the flesh of your fingertips, begging to be free, to taste the air.

>How much do you want to tell her?

"I would like to help Mr. Manfredi find his missing granddaughter."

>>38135259
General outline, we want a favour, so we will find his daughter for him, but it kind of needs to be agreed on before hand, (plus we will need info and a scent, but thats between us and silvermane)

>>38135259
>Don't worry about it
We only speak to silvermane, that's how this works. Never break that pattern.

>>38135259
"I can find her, I just need a lead."

>>38135275
>write-in: find and kill Danny Devito
Lets do this!

>>38135259

>>38135309
This, standard procedure

>>38135259
"I would like to talk to him about finding his granddaughter."

>>38135360

No. It's his granddaughter.

>>38135259
"I am a mutant with a particular set of skills and resources, and I'm trying to get Jack off the street. I have an offer for him concerning that."

>inb4Silvermane's grandaughter is a mutant

>>38135309
Supporting this.

>>38135259
Just want to help finding his grand daughter

>>38135381
Yep, realized I was correct the first time.

>>38135309
This. If it fails, just tell her we want to speak to him about finding someone he's looking for.

>>38135400
>"I found your daughter!"
>Hands him a baggy of pills

>>38135309

Seconded.

>>38135309
I can dig being professional.

>>38135309
I think she might ruin us for that potential job we just learned about if we said that. She's the one to decide if it's worth bringing us to him at the moment, we don't have much pull to call such a meeting.

>>38135309
Backing this. Stay professional

>>38135309
Yeah this seems solid.

>>38135309
"I need to talk to your boss, but im not going to say why, trust me, i played piano for you once"

No you silly silly hobo, you do not get to talk to silvermane by asking just because you play nice.

>>38135491
This. We aint some established super nigga what can just walk up in and act like we own the place.

Also, how would we go about it if we found her? We give her back for a reward, we let him choose what he gives us, we just tell him to think kindly of us in the future, to remember the act, or whatever.

>>38135567
We ask him to suck our dick

If it doesn't work, just tell her it's about her granddaughter.

>>38135491
>>38135543
>>38135554
If all else fails we can simply sneak in and talk to him without her say so. Or did you forget we are an invisinigga?

>>38135567

We'd ask for help in shutting down the Jack trade.

>>38135594

That's JJ's cousin.

>>38135491
Regardless, JJ should still try.

>>38135567
You agree on terms before hand, get info to actually find her instead of trawling the entire city for a scent god knows how old and because you do not become a mob boss without having a solid word.

>>38135604
That is a fine way to get shot on principle alone.

>>38135621
Just shot? Hah! The torture would be so horrible even we would end up with scars.

>we will never get to fight in underground mutant v mutant fights
Think of all the sweet dosh we could earn man

>>38135594
>Tfw we will never meet squirrel girl
>JJ will never say "maybe you should hibernate over THESE nuts" while he unzips his penis

>>38135621
Not really, if we can get an audience, we are better than his security, thus employable.

Besides we can survive being shot.

That is plan B or C thought. If we have invisibility, might as well use it.

Besides its better than our spagetiomancy(aka diplomacy).

>>38135604
Yes. Sneak up on the mob boss. I'm sure that couldn't possibly end poorly. I'm sure he'll care to listen to what we say.

>>38135621
>>38135666
>hur dur I forgot that JJ got out of a room filled with gunman all firing upon him at once

>>38135695
Too be fair, it's comicland, so it isn't unimaginable

>>38135695
1) he(and his bodyguards) can't see us
2)we can dodge bullets
3)We can survive bullets (and even some explosives)

It ain't that bad.

>>38135667
how fair would it even be? We have too much antipersonel utillity. Were as strong as spidy, and as agile, we learn patterns instantly, know the exact angles and paths of projectiles and thrown weapons, we can taze, we have ranged powers, we have invisibility, its kinda bullshit. When we have enough photo to start filling out like a normal human being, we goan be dangerous. That, taze 2 and wings whateverfreesupourhands.

>>38135709
Yeah, that'll go over well for our attempts at PEACEFULLY TALKING TO HIM ABOUT FINDING HIS GRANDDAUGHTER. Sure we can escape, that's not going to do any good at holding a conversation and sets a really bad first impression.

>>38135768
>2)we can dodge bullets

No. JJ can get out of the way of a bullet's trajectory before it gets fired.

He can't dodge bullets that have already been fired.

>http://ask.fm/CrusyJones/answer/123198629547

>>38135789
If only we matched Spiderman's speed too, rather than just his agility.

>>38135709
>hurrdurr we almost died

>>38135825
To be fair, that is the best way of dodging bullets. Be out of the way before they were fired.

>>38135768
>>38135709
>>38135685

Mobsters work on respect, If you do not show it, they will not trust, like or do fuck all for you. Being invisible and dodging bullets is not a valid argument against "Don't be a pretentious fuck".
Your plan is bad and you should feel bad.

>>38135850
And considering he can tell the path bullets will take, he'd be incredibly good at that.

>>38135831
we get photo 4 and boost strength, crusty did say speed was partially based on strength

>>38135867
Oh, and before we get some stupid rebuttal, we need him to want to help us of his own violation if we expect him to stick to his own fricken word.

Why don't we just throw rocks at his window?

>>38135867
>mobsters work on respect
You mean lots of money.

>>38135883
Even if we dont see the gun we can danger sense it, echolocate it, and be all like. Fuck you gun.

>>38135889
>crusty did say speed was partially based on strength
Yup. Our strength makes us faster than normal, but still not on Spiderman's level.

>>38135917
That is very respectable.

>>38135917
Another aspect we severely lack, the point still stands.

What do we do if Silvermane falls for JJ?

>>38135930
no, i mean we boost our strength so we get on that level

>>38135933
Consider jjs skill set, he's a cash cow. Further proof of that would be him showing up to Silvermane after taking out his guards.

>>38135963
What?

>(1/2)

That’s not really how this works. You may be a crusty hobo now, but you were a horrible little criminal once, working for a horrible big criminal, and you remember the importance of keeping your cards close. You might be loath to admit it, but Creeper’s advice, the secret lore of handshakes and bowing out and showing only what you mean to show, has probably saved your life on more than one occasion.

“That’s for Mr. Manfredi’s ears.” You say. She raises an eyebrow. “It concerns someone he’s been searching for.”

She probably has an inkling of what you mean, but her expression doesn’t change. She regards you in silence for a good minute, breathing in the aroma of her drink, and all the while you just squirm silently in your clothes. Eventually, her smile broadens slightly, and she sets her glass down, the tip of her pinkie muffling the sound.

“If this is not worth Mr. Manfredi’s time, there will be consequences. You know that, yes?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright.” She turns toward the bartender, sighing almost imperceptibly. “Lucy, show Mr. Green upstairs, please. I need to make a call.”

She saunters off toward one of the back rooms, leaving you to be lead up the spiral stairs, to the long, wooden table at the center of the second floor. The grand piano sits to one side, the silent, intrinsic power of its shape dominating the room. You recall the feeling of its keys as they flowed through and from you, and you feel a slight, electrical shiver in your spine. It was a true pleasure to act as conduit for a thing of such age and refinement.

>>38135953
Yes, and the paddle and handcuffs.

>>38135930
Shit. Did we even have echolocation when escaping from those gunmen? I don't think we did, and he still made it out. Jesus Christ.

>(2/2)

You sit down, and the bartender asks if you want a drink. You’re so nervous you actually say yes. You sip on a cowboy while you wait, glancing down at your watch at regular intervals.

It’s an hour and a half before you hear anyone ascending the stairs. First up are a pair of nondescript men in suits, their arms as thick as your waist and eyes hidden behind expensive sunglasses. They’re followed soon after by a huge, slate-grey giant of a man – you shudder inwardly when you realize that’s Tombstone – and Mr. Manfredi himself. Ms. Hardy is last up.

The old man regards you with a quiet, intense stare.

“I remember you.” He announces, tapping the floor with the end of his cane, as if jolting his own memory. “Little mutant boy, plays piano. You have something worth my time, boy?”

JJ is the cowboy. He's using Contortion.

>>38136283

He's straight. Honestly he's a pretty great guy if you just wait like he asks you to.

>>38136004
>Start with his granddaughter

I have super human senses. I believe I can track down your granddaughter.

Then other business...like why creeper brought in a boat load of trafficked mutants.

>>38136325
why would we share any info on the manufacture process? Just no. In return for his granddaughter back, silvermane does not go into the Jack business and points us at who is in it. He gains without losing a thing, we gain. Job done.

>>38136320
Yeah I know he's straight and pretty nice against you, even if you kill hundreds of his men and fucks with everything he does. I'll never forget the mission where he's offering you a new suit, and realises that he has to add pockets for raw meat

>>38136325
>senses
You could just say "smell", rather than senses. He doesn't need to know that the other senses are also enhanced. It would be the method of tracking, after all.

>>38136271
>implying Laura isn't the cowboy in disguise

>>38136382
Do you think we could get some cash from him too? This is his own granddaughter we're going to track. I doubt he's short on cash.

>>38136424
Best not to press our luck, stick with the achievable. If he offers more then we take it. But i feel that will probably be a case of "If you break the kidnappers legs, i will give you x" kind of deal.

>>38136424
...lets not do that, were blackmailing him enough as it is

Too be fair about my previous apprehensions, I was expecting Crackbitch JJ and not Hardcore Motherfuckin' Gangsta JJ.

>>38136004
>[ ] Start with the issue of his granddaughter.
Seems only the proper starting point.

>>38136455
We could finangle a big fat paycheck if we BRING him the kidnapper. But I don't know if JJ wants to basically sentence a guy to an extremely painful death.

>>38136470

It would be blackmail if we had his granddaughter already.

“The thing to remember about Silvermane, boyo, is that he is a bastard.” The words surface from the recesses of your memory, the tone in Creeper’s voice still fresh and spry – you could almost believe he’s right behind you, speaking directly into your ear. “He’s old blood, Silvermane. A relic. People like to think of relics like, ah, ‘a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age’, but that just isn’t the truth. Relics are things people bashed each other’s heads in with. Swords are relics. Guillotines are relics. The cat’o’nine is a relic. And Silvermane, like all those things, is a relic…”

Tombstone making sure to stay within a few paces of him, the elderly man sits down in front of you, propping his hands up upon his cane, as if drawing a line with it – him on one side, and you on the other.

“I do, Mr. Manfredi.” You make sure to keep your tone even. “I am a mutant. I have lots of mutant friends. We’re a lot more organized that people think we are” – granted, that’s because nobody thinks you’re organized at all – “and many of us have abilities that would greatly assist in finding someone.”

He sniffs quietly, regarding you with half lidded eyes.

“Someone like my granddaughter, I suppose?”

You nod.

“Someone like her.”

He barely moves. His eyes remain focused and sharp, boring into the back of your skull, scrabbling at your intentions, searching for a scrap of something, for anything he can unearth from your posture.

“And I know you’re telling the truth, because…?”

You breathe in, closing your eyes for a moment. A panoply of sounds and smells filter out through your perceptions.

“You ate porridge with jam this morning, and the same the morning before that.” You hear Silvermane shift in his seat. “For lunch, you had a small platter of ciabatta bread, olives, blue cheese, and pastrami. You’re carrying a gun – revolver – and a knife in your boot. Your friend” – you gesture vaguely in Tombstone’s direction – “isn’t carrying a weapon, and neither is Ms. Hardy. She had soup and bread for both breakfast and lunch today, and… silver is her natural hair colour.”

You open your eyes, slipping off your sunglasses.

“Would you like me to continue?”

One eyebrow almost raised, Silvermane lifts a withered hand, as if to signal a stop.

“No, you’ve made your point, I believe.”

“Good.” You feel the nerves subside somewhat. You might have actually been pretty impressive there. “Either way, I’m not asking for anything upfront, and I don’t want money. You have nothing to lose if I don’t hold up my end of this.”

“Oh?” He flashes a huge, brilliantly white grin, the shine of his teeth making you think of old, curved sabres. “I assume you want something out of this, though? Everyone always does...”

>>38137099
One or more of your competitors are creating and/or selling Jack. It might interest you to know that Jack needs active X-genes as a base, which means one of the ingredients is processed mutants. I, and several in the Scar, find this...unacceptable. And we think it would be fitting if the Maggia helped us put down those slimy fucks selling the stuff once and for all."
