Also ask if he knows of anyone hiring.

>>45037561

>>45037561

>>45037561
Hey guys, know anyone who's hiring?

>>45037561
"Hey, do you guys know anywhere that's hiring?" You ask as you reach for another slice. You're only on your second one, the drive to write down your magical theory far too great to have been ignored.

Tim glances up from his book just as Conner shrugs and remains focused on his game. For a moment, Tim looks as if in deep thought but then his expression clears and he smiles sadly.

"Not really. At least, not any place that's hiring part-time and would be willing to work around your schedule as a student. But then again, I work...irregular hours, so maybe I just have a skewed view of things" he says before marking his place in his book and setting it down.

"Though...I think the book store Anita works at is hiring and I think it might be just up your alley"

You wince and Tim gives you an understanding look. You're not particularly big on asking Anita for favors...especially after you nearly crippled her arm just a few hours ago

"What do you mean, it'd be 'up my alley'?"
"I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure it pertains to wizards or witches or warlocks, or whatever it is you magic-people call yourselves"

Oh. Oh that DOES sound great. Too bad you burned the bridge that might've gotten you a recommendation.

Sighing, you flop back into your seat and stare at the ceiling helplessly.

"Oh no freaking way!" Conner whispers incredulously. It seems, while you and Tim were speaking, he switched the television back to the cable box. And he's watching TMZ....wait, is that Superman and...Conner? Actually, now that you've gotten a chance to look from the still image of Superboy and Conner...you can definitely see a resemblance.

Oh, well that's cool. Now you know Conner's not-so-secret-anymore identity. For a moment you consider teasing him, but one look at his expression tells you to avoid that.

Why is he so serious?

H-hello QM... You there?

You get your answer soon enough as the TMZ announce voice shouts

"Superboy succumbs to superbumbles" and it then proceeds to a video of Superboy and Superman attempting to subdue some sort of albino alien. Well, that shouldn't be too hard, right? You don't know much about the whole 'Aliens on earth' thing, but as far as you know, nothing is as strong as a 'Criptonian' or whatever Superman is. So, two should be even better, right?

Oh, how naive.

The video appears to have been shot by some kid outside of his school, where the fight was going on. Superman is doing fairly well against the alien until Superboy jumps in to tackle the thing and instead, is used as a bludgeon to send Superman flying. The alien then throws Superboy after him fast enough to catch the Man of Steel and send them both tumbling out of the air. He then proceeds to zoom away, but not before tossing every school bus he passes up into the air with a single hand. Superman rushes over to catch the buses before they crash to the Earth and though Superboy only catches one, he attempts to help.

The TMZ reporter and the staff on the show then proceed to rip into Superboy, claiming he was either incredibly incompetent or secretly trying to help the other alien.

Ouch.

"Hey, Conner don't listen to those idiots. They don't anything." Conner turns to face you, a look you can't read on his face. "They don't know what's it like..sitting in their cushy offices, with their pretty secretaries...they don't know what it's like, having to be normal one day and so much more than normal the next" You can feel your voice rising and for a moment, you consider shutting up, stopping. But you can't, not now.

"People like that, they're...they're worthless. They leave people behind, even when those people need them. When those people DESERVE, their help, they don't bother...fuck em Conner, fuck em ALL" and with that you stop, breathing heavily. Conner is looking at you strangely and Tim is...measuring. You know that look, that's the look your dad gives. He's...he's JUDGING you. This insufferable twat.

"Never mind. Bye guys. Sorry about the show or whatever Conner" and with that, you walk off, practically gasping for breath. Why are you so bothered? Your dad may own TMZ or whatever, but that doesn't mean you should be freaking out.

You need to calm down.

You step outside the house, 10 bucks in your wallet, your key hanging on a chain and your phone in your pocket. What's the plan? It's only 6:30 AM.

>A. Call Adrianna; you know she gets up at 6:00 AM to do her prayer thing.
>B. Go for a walk around the neighborhood
>C. Go to the Elliot University Library, maybe do some studying

>>45039418
Second

I say we jump off a bridge.

>>45039309
>A. Call Adrianna; you know she gets up at 6:00 AM to do her prayer thing.
Eh, shit happens. I take it that it isn't best of three?

>>45039358
>>45039363
I am aware.

Crits, whether Critfails or Crit Successes take precedence over other rolls, at least, while they happen within the time limit for the roll. In this case, players rolled well, but got no Crit Successes. Had you rolled no Crit Fails, I would've taken the highest roll available.

But a Crit Fail was rolled, so a Crit Fail jumped to the head of the line and failed by a considerable margin.

>>45039309
>>45039418
Seconding!!!!

>>45039448
So basically you're allowing the failure fags to keep rolling until the inevitable critfail occurs?

Sorry dude, but that's fucking bullshit.

>>45039536
>>45039448

If he was gonna go with that roll system, he should have said so from the first thread.

Generally it's best of 3 unless otherwise stated.

And he never stated otherwise.

>>45039507
>>45039435
>>45039418

Guys, I'd really appreciate if you'd contribute to the thread meaningfully. If you aren't satisfied with the mechanics I choose to implement, feel free to use Twitter to message me about the matter or comment once the thread is complete.

>>45039564
>>45039562
>>45039578

I appreciate the feedback and will keep it in mind in case it becomes an issue. Also, I was entirely unaware there was a 'default rolling system' for quests.

>>45039604
Honest mistake, we all fuck up sometimes.

>>45039604
>Also, I was entirely unaware there was a 'default rolling system' for quests.

If memory serves you said you were a fan of HMQ so I fail to see how?


Best of three crit override for those three only is pretty much the standard by which all quests roll by. Including HMQ.


Thing is crits of d20 are rather common, and you will have shitters trying to intentionally kill the quest, or cause undue suffering by spamming rolls until a critfail occurs. Lord help us if they start deleting rolls.

>>45039562
I'm aware but its not like we're completely fucked yet. This could hold some potential character development assuming the QM can get this quest back on the rails.

>>45039418
Also this is extremely stupid, but maybe a little reality check for Charlie could get his shit together.

I'm sure Tim and Conner are extremely confused about us.

>>45039667
Aye, if you go with a time limit for rolls, there's nothing preventing assholes from spamming rolls until there's a crit or crtifail. It's an easily abusable system, hence the minor outcry regarding it.

>>45039682

Not that anon, but I don't mind it in this case, yet he should have fucking said so before.

>>45039682
Agreed. Now we know the rules, let's get on with the quest.

>>45039667

Eh what's done is done now and it is up to the QM to implement change in the system or not >>45039682 has it right, this is good character development for us anyways, not like we got crippled in a fight because of it

>>45039309
Taking your phone out, you scroll through contacts until you land on Kitty and consider pressing the call button, but instead opt to shoot her a text. She DID ask you to avoid calling her this early in the day; maybe she works somewhere where cell phones are an issue.

Speaking of...is Kitty a professional mercenary or something? That sounds like the kind of business that would flourish in a place like Gotham. Are mercenaries allowed cell phones? Is that against some sort of mercenary code? Do mercenaries even HAVE a code?

Your thoughts are cut short as a young man, bundled up in some form-fitting but bulky looking sportswear goes running past you. He waves a hand apologetically and continues on his way. You take your phone out a moment later and discover, to your surprise that Kitty has responded.

"Talking is ALL we will be doing. Meet me at the intersection where we first met. 40 Minutes. Don't be late"

Oh, well...seems she isn't as busy as you thought.

>A. Head over there. It'll take you almost the entire 40 minutes to get there anyways

>>45039935
Stuffing your phone back into your pocket, you begin to make your way towards Robinson Park, much as you did the night before. Unfortunately, the early morning work rush puts you behind a little bit and you arrive with seconds to spare, just in time, it seems for Kitty to step out of the alley. She slips her arm into yours once more and the two of you begin to walk.

"Good to see you didn't get stabbed on your way home."
"Not for lack of opportunity. I daresay, next time, I'm definitely going to need a big strong lady to walk me home"
"Oh, I think I know a few who might be willing to help you out"
"That sounds just grand"

The two of you continue walking until you realize Kitty has led you to a Limo which is parked beside a meter, idling. Illegally idling, you're pretty sure. She slips her arm out from yours and gestures at the car.


"Is this your limo?"
"No. It's my boss'. Now, I suggest you get in without a fuss; she isn't very well known for having an even temper, Sweetie"

"...Are you trying to kidnap me?"
"Only if I can't get you to get in willingly"

Raising an eyebrow, you reach for the car door and pop it open before stepping inside. It's well lit and appears to be some sort of fancy party limo or something like that. There's a mini-bar in here. That's actually pretty impressive.

But not quite as impressive as the woman sitting across from you, smiling slightly and holding a small glass of amber liquid. The woman has dark hair and eyes that seem to be watching your every move as you awkwardly slide into the nearest seat, giving her a small smile. This is weird. This is weird even by 'apprentice to Constantine' standards.

"Hello"
"Hi"
"So you're Kitty's friend? The one she met yesterday?"
"Uh, well, yes. I suppose I am"
"Good. I would've been very disappointed if either of you had chosen to lie to me"
"I see..."
"Do you know who I am, young man?"
"No, not really"
"That's good. That means I'm doing my job correctly."
"...Okay?"
"I want to offer you a job, young man. Nothing permanent, but a recent...shift in Gotham's sensitive balance has caused a necessity for increased security and I believe a metahuman like yourself would be useful"

>>45041316

>>45040827
"Wait, Miss, what exactly do you need protection from?"
The lady's smile only grows broader and oddly predatory as she begins to explain.
"Last year, Roman Sionis was apprehended after a long overdue confrontation with The Batman. She practically purrs the phrase 'Batman' and you can't help but feel almost voyeuristic
"Roman Sionis' disciple was elevated to the position of Boss while his mentor was incarcerated. For a while, the young man was satisfied. That is, until The Batman went after the Penguin. Now, that young man has had his mentor killed in a Prison Riot and there is a new Crime boss in Gotham. An ambitious shark who senses blood in the water. I need you to protect me from the Red Hood and his gang of thugs"

"I will be frank with you, young man. I am more than capable of finding out your identity and doing what must be done with that information. However, I would much rather you volunteer yourself to my service, for the time being." With that, the woman takes her large hat off her head and holds out her hand for you to shake.

"My name is Selina Kyle. If the rumors are to be believed, I am a wealthy philanthropist, a bit of a tart and the leader of an extensive and influential gang of young women known as 'The Catwomen'. However, I'm sure we can agree, that can't possibly be true"

She gives you a knowing look

So, it looks like a majority of our voters WANT to choose A. and give Charlie an Alias, but it seems everyone has their own opinions on what that Alias should be. So I'm just going to say that Charlie goes with option A. and uses one.

>>45041694
Looks like we have a tie between 'The Tower' and Charlie Damned. I'm going to say he uses the two of them interchangeably.

>>45041381
"Of course not, Miss Kyle. A lady as refined as you? Leading a gang? That's crazy." She smiles at you as you shake her hand once.
"I'd prefer if you referred to me as 'The Tower' while working, Miss Kyle." which elicits a chuckle from the dark haired woman.
"Well, I'll take that as you accepting my employment offer. Truth be told, your primary duty will be to accompany Kitty and I to certain parties or events and ensure my safety. Kitty will be your main coworker, but you may encounter some other members of my security detail. And as an incentive, he's a token of my appreciation." She hands you a small bundle bills and then makes a gesture as if you are dismissed.

Nodding, you exit the Limo and glance at Kitty, who is pointedly avoiding your gaze.

"I didn't mean t scare you"
"You didn't, Kitty. You just surprised me"
"Well, that's good...maybe I can make it up to you next week?"

>A. Sure, Kitty. I'll call you later tonight and we'll set something up
>B. Just make sure it's not another impromptu shark-feeding show
>C. I don't think so Kitty; we'll be working together, after all.
>D. Maybe, but I'm starting school soon...I'll call you if I end up free

>>45042039
Probably the best choice.

>>45042039
>D. Maybe, but I'm starting school soon...I'll call you if I end up free

Using both is fine. As long as Charlie Damned gets used at some point, I'm alright with that.

>>45042039

>>45042125

"Maybe, but I'm starting school soon, so, you know" There's a pause and you can see Kitty is hurt, if only a little.
"I'll probably call you if I end up free" and with that you're off, half speed-walking away to escape any regret that might rear it's ugly head. Continuing down the street, you find yourself glancing at your phone and realizing you actually got a text recently. If your estimate of time is correct, then it was probably when you were talking to Miss Kyle.

Checking your messages you learn the text is from Adrianna.

"I ned ur halp. Plz call whenever you can". Oh jeez, you almost forgot just how terrible Adrianna was at typing; you once had her attempt to find a movie on your laptop during your trip to Gotham and she ended up in your ePub folder somehow. You dial her number and when she answers you can hear an odd scraping noise.
"Hello Charlie" Adrianna sounds as deadpan as ever. Seriously, that girl is either on some of sort of downer or just DOES NOT do emotions beyond calm and mildly excited.

"Hey, Adrianna, you wanted some help?"
"Yes, I did. Are you free this evening? Around 5 PM"
"Uhhhh, yeah, actually I should be free around then"
"Good, I will see you at my adress. I will now text it to you. Goodbye"

And with that, the call is over and you immediately get a text with an address written in.

Well, looks like you're going to be busy this evening.

>A. Go back home, apologize to the guys and just relax until 5

You resume your speed-walk until you find yourself at your front door, fumbling with the lock, which appears to be jammed somehow. Suddenly, the key is nearly bent in your hand as it turns and the door swings open, to reveal Anita Fite with her arm in a sling and a prominent frown on her face. Oh no. Crap. You were hoping to avoid her until her arm was okay.

"Hi"

She does not return your greeting, instead, she looks you over. Even with only one arm, you're fairly certain that if it came down to a fight, she might have the upper hand. You're a lot better at avoiding fights altogether than winning them. Finally, her eyes lose a bit of the hostility and she steps from the doorway, allowing you to enter. As you begin to shed layers, she watches you from the kitchen table.

"The door gets like that during the winter. "
"Oh"
"Are you just some sort of ridiculously skilled assassin or something? Is this some sort of trap you're playing at, Charlie? Is that what you're doing? Trying to get us to lower our guard?"
"No. Anita, it's not. I already tol-"
"I may never regain full usage of this arm" she cuts you off, gesturing at the bruised mass of flesh in the sling
"My doctor says it's like nothing he's ever seen. It's the nerves aren't even trying to heal. Whatever you did to me, it might be permanent"

You drop your gaze from her to the floor and try to breath around that lump forming in your throat.
"Why did you hurt me like this? If not because you're some sort of villain WHY WOULD YOU CRIPPLE ME!" She screeches the words and jumps to her feet, sending her chair tumbling behind her.

>A. "It was an accident. God, it was such a huge fucking fuck-up, but I swear it wasn't on purpose"
>B. "I just wanted to know who the other mage could be!"

>>45042818
>A. "It was an accident. God, it was such a huge fucking fuck-up, but I swear it wasn't on purpose"

So if we're really a Constantine apprentice, we should probably put together some Anti-YJ and Anti-Villain fail-safes at some point. Never know when we're going to have to bug out, or who we'll be running from.

You fucked it up. You fuck everything up. Why? WHY!? WHY!?

Because that's what you do, Charlie Dennet. Allowing Constantine into your life. Making that deal. Metropolis. And now, Anita. Who you didn't even get to meet before you ruined her.

You're not worth the effort people have put into keeping you alive, Charlie.

"Anita" you can feel the tears stinging the back of your eyes and you want to stop them but a part of you wants to get this out first. "Anita, I'm so, so sorry. I..I know it was a huge, fucking fuckup. But please, please, PLEASE, you have to believe me. It was an accident. I didn't mean to...to hurt you. Anita, please, I can't have another one." You feel yourself stepping forwards and the tears spilling out. Anita, steps out from behind the table, obviously furious. She stomps towards you, fist clenched. But you hold her gaze, your vision misting as the tears continue to fall.

"I'm so, so sorry. Please, Anita, I can't have another sin like this on me. I know I don't deserve it, but please, Anita. Forgive me" You can't help it. You NEED this off of your chest. You can't be the kid who destroyed Metropolis. You can't be the kid who let his father figure give his mom cancer. You can't be Charlie Dennet, eternal fuck-up. You just CAN'T. And if taking a beating from Anita is what it takes to avoid adding the burden of the wrong you've inflicted upon her, then you'll gladly take it.

But it isn't Anita's fist that touches you, it's her arm as she pulls you into an embrace. She's shaking, crying, leaning against you and you against her.

"Shut up, just...just shut up!" She whispers.

But you can't shut-up, because there's a voice in your head. It's quiet at first, but it's getting louder, gradually. Gradually louder and louder. But not more aggressive, just more insistent, more eager. More...excited.

>>45043309
what have we done

>>45043309
>You can't be the kid who let his father figure give his mom cancer.

>>45043309

>>45043309
The voice sounds male and it's overpowering you, commanding you. Demanding you repeat after it.

"Everyone has a purpose, Charlie! It's when you choose to let the bad dictate to you what that purpose is that things get confusing."

A young man's face appears in your mind, smiling despite his split lip and bruised eye. He looks mischevious with his slicked back dark hair and blue eyes. With his air of boyish charm and roguish adventure. He whispers the words to you, not in your ear. Not in your mind but...somewhere deeper, somewhere more intimate. He whispers a word you've heard a thousand times on the radio or on television.

He whispers the word everyone heard when that Justice League member died.

And you whisper it to.

"Shazam"

And everything goes white. You hear the thunder clap before you feel the concussive blast and you feel yourself flying backwards and then your head smashes into something behind you and staying conscious is no longer an option.

>>45043474
No. Charlie is not Shazam. This is all very closely intertwined with the choices people made during the very first quest thread to determine the setting history.

I don't mind telling you guys that since we did a lot of things this session, including myself learning how to better run a 'Rolling' Quest.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. If you have any question. Please don't hesitate to ask. I will be lurking. Also, feel free to ask questions on Twitter.

Oh shit, maybe.

>>45043592
thats a third possablity

the other 2 are
we are Shazam or we revived Shazam

>>45043607
Another is its a healing spell of some kind. Also it kinda sounds like maybe Charlie knew Billy.

>>45043593
Especially if this is Moore or Morrison's swamp thing- if so, our ass is grass. Even impeding him is so high above our power level we might as well suicide so save him the trouble.

>>45043486
Yes. Charlie whispered that outloud. Anita definitely heard him say it before the thunder clap.

>>45043529
It is the 10, yes.

>>45043549
No problem and I always imagined David Lambert would be fancast as Charlie.

>>45043607
Charlie is definitely not Shazam and in this universe, coming back from the dead is almost unheard of. The only person to ever do that within the last 20 years or so is 'Resurrection Man', for obvious reasons

>>45043629
So what era does the setting branch off from? nu52? Pre-crisis?

>>45043629
so Anita is the next Captain Marvel Jr ?

>>45043629
question did superman give a smack down to the wizard since billy was killed

superman never did like the fact the billy was made to be Shazam

or did billy keep is identity a secret till his death

>>45043659
It's honestly a clusterfuck of things I enjoyed and thought I could develop upon. So, I would say it's a bit like Pre-Crisis in the sense that this alternate universe involves a lot of characters that DC scrapped in more prominent roles.

So, there are some changes in the Batman Timeline that are pretty important and will become more prominent later on.

Superman is weaker than he is in most incarnations. Doomsday has never appeared in this universe yet. Other things like that.

The most major things to keep in mind are that John's Magic is more like it is in New 52, so there's a lot of on-the-fly magic spells flying about and rituals that result in him getting more powerful or directly involved. A few of the New 52 storylines are used as inspiration or are going to be actual events in the quest. Things like that.

>>45043635
You can still become Magical batman. You might want to convince some other posters to have Charlie workout a bit more, to make it easier though.

>>45043657
I like your optimism.

>>45043743

Does the Shazam spell temporarily give the powers of Captain Marvel to Charlie or whomever is in his line of sight at the moment?

The Justice League knew about Billy Batson, mostly because Cyborg and Billy had a sort of Brother-Friendship thing going on. Billy looked up to Victor before he became Cyborg and Cyborg fed off that admiration to keep himself from succumbing to the machine

And no, Superman never encountered the Wizards of the Rock of Eternity. No one knows how to get there but Black Adam and some other people; most, even in the Justice League, never even learned how Shazam came to be

The world learned about Billy Batson after his death and he was treated as the ideal American boy.

Probably Thursday or Sunday. I suggest you check the twitter I linked on those particular days if you are concerned. It will happen either at 3 PM MST on Sunday or 6 PM MST Thursday

Can't wait!

What would have happened if we had rolled any other number other than 10 in Thread #1?

And what would have happened if we rolled a 10 but chose a different hero to die?
