The rain spatters on your Mom's car as you glide down the road. You've never liked funerals, but you guess that's pretty normal. Especially when it's you dad's. You don't even know how it happened, just a body in an alley. Neither Mom or you have spoke a word on the ride, but finally she breaks the silence.

"Honey, we're here." she says, you must have been too absorbed in your thoughts to recognize the iron gates approaching you.

Entering the austere gates to the Comet City Graveyard, a tall well-dressed man in a black suit approaches you and your mom.

"Hello,John Salvos, I'm sorry for your loss." He says, "We met a bit ago, but I never talked to your son, what's your name?"

"I'm Thomas Cairns" You say

"Nice to meet you Thomas, I was a co-worker of your

father. He was a good man and it's terrible what

happened to him"

You remember when your dad gave you an old junker for

your 18th birthday this year, he saved for weeks from an

worked overtime at work crunching numbers.

"Yeah, it is" you say without thinking. The priest takes

to the podium and starts the ceremony, so you go to take

your seat.

A few days later...

God, are you happy that all the paperwork is done. You just want to read the will and get this experience out of your mind. After all, the last stage of grief is denial, wait, no, you're forgetting something. Eh, whatever.

"...And to my son, I bequeath my storage unit by the docks and all of its contents, as well as my life insurance policy of 30,000 dollars."

Woah, shit you spaced out again but did that lawyer just say you got money. And some kind of storage unit but screw that, MONEY! You always loved your dad but you never thought he had life insurance. After all, he was an accountant.

After all the other assets are divvied up you...

You decide that spending the money right away is probably a bad idea, especially considering you are about to graduate, so you get in your car and drive to the docks. Checking the number on the key you were given with the numbers on the units, you eventually find it. Opening the heavy metal doors you find...

Hey guys

Can we get a superpower we can use for science

There was none. He was off the radar, a man without a name or persona.

Psionics. He could read minds, control them, move things with his mind and even tell the future with it.

That completely eliminates the point of differentiating, though. And if that is the case, why bother with a choice like this at all?

Oh, in that case
>>40200628
I vote that
>>
>>40200743
I think it's a bit more than that. The mention of hyper mind means we could make any machine-related calculation near instantly. Probably would let us build complex shit really quickly
>>
>>40200801
Well that goes into enhanced intelligence, I mean you have the computational power of a super computer and the ability to deeply understand machines frlm the other one, so yeah you can build.stuff

Cho is OP

The Red Rider... what, you even saw him once. A man on a souped up bike of some kind wearing a red suit and a mask. But if he's your dad, why aren't you like him, unless. Touching one of the computers, you are flooded with information.

You did it, you finally walked out those doors at Comet City High and into the real world. You saved that money and decided to make more with your powers, fixing cars is easy when you can ask them what's wrong. It turns out that your dad's suit was nothing but just that, a suit. But it turns out, those trinkets were various electronic tools, making them rather compliant to your use.

You worked really hard through High School with a 3.5 GPA, nothing outstanding. But what happened in that storage unit changed that. You just knew more. You ended up acing all of your exams and getting your GPA up to a 3.75. Not bad for two months. And you just got accepted to the Central Cosmopolis Institute. You are packing your things, the tools the hard drive, your dad's suit just in case, When all of a sudden, the doorbell rings. Mom opens up the door and you hear from downstairs.

"How nice to see you Mr. Salvos!"

Maybe just thread length?
>>
>>40201852
Not on the computers, man. I assume in that two months we had some time to at least google the guy, if not do a more thorough background check.
>>
>>40201836
Pretty okay, maybe try to run longer if you can. Generally four hours is considered a minimum for thread length.

Maybe add a little more detail in your post. Some grammar/punctuation issues you might want to work on. No major complaints though.
>>
>>40201894
Why would you google him, he was one of the many people at your dad's funeral? He has done nothing that would pique suspicion.

>>40201922
He said he was a co-worker of dad's.

I think at this point we can figure out our dad didn't do all we thought he did.

>>40201877
I will try to run when I have time, Twitter is @xLostCowboyx. Sorry about thread length, I thought my day was free, but it apparently wasn't.

>>40201943
You didn't bring it up in the timeskip, so I'm sorry. Next thread you will probably get answers on it though.
>>
>>40201836

The short updates seem like your just making stuff up as it goes. If that isn't the case then it makes it lack atmosphere, and gives us little to go off of.

Not to mention the cardinal sin of char gen took up most of your time.
>>
>>40202044
Yeah, had a plan, but it got all muddled up. And yeah char gen sucks, I know that now, but at least it's done.
