So it seems, that not everything in your life is unexceptional! Among those rare few, maybe one in a million, to have what are referred to as super-powers. Some people out there have mighty abilities enough to draw the attention of the world, while others may live their lives unnoticed. You are towards the latter side of the scale, but hey! Who needs to be a genius or have resources when you're superhuman?

What happens to be your power though?

>Elastic

Indeed you are superhuman, having a body which is more like taffy or rubber, than flesh and bone. Maybe if you had the power of flight or super strength, something impressive and useful then you would have been open about it. An elastic body though is just... weird, so you've always been withdrawn and reserved because of it. Afraid of anyone discovering the nature of your body. Perhaps the one benefit of which, that no one besides your immediate family knows.

Even if you didn't have a superpower though, you'd still be turning to villainy and planning your wicked rise! And much planning there is to be done; no villain can be considered worthy without some various necessities. A lair for example, villainous transportation, henchmen, an identity of course and-

"-bwuuuhhh?"

Blast! The wake-up alarm on your phone! Time for another daily grind at your dreary job, and on your birthday no less! This is no life for a supervillain and at this point why should you even bother? It's been a long time coming... as you yelp in panic for falling out of bed in a tangle of sheets. Finally silencing the alarm, you see many messages already from a friend about your "special" day.

Well, special in more ways than just the one.

A lot of things are going to be different from now on, so you may as well start by calling it quits at your job. One last day, you're not looking forward to it but knowing it is to be your last makes it feel like a relief almost. A little more high-spirited than usual as you shower, get ready and get dressed for the day. By the time you make it downstairs to the kitchen breakfast is already on the table, two plates and set nicer than usual.

"There's the birthday girl." of course your dad remembers and a big hug to go with it, but halfway through breakfast he has other concerns. "I'm helping Robbie out, but after you're done later I can drive you to the courthouse or... wherever you have to go for it."

"Erm-" you try and mutter through a mouthful, a little caught off-guard. "-maybe, I wouldn't want to drag you all the way... oh look, is that the time?! I gotta' go!"

Though he had more to say, you hurry on out of the house with what you hope was a good enough excuse for him to drop the issue. Walking to the bus stop it's all you can think about... that's right, the Renfrew Act or whatever it is. Some old law from like WWII, that all (knowing) superhumans have to register as such by the age of twenty. Ever since you graduated your dad's been on your case about it, but now that it's your birthday you're out of time and excuses.

You don't look forward to that conversation later, that you don't intend to register. Doing so would obviously hinder your villainous plans!

---

"Can I get uhhhhhh... a narrow mocha fellatio please, extra onions instead of milk and-"

Another day another dollar at Barstucks, your shift job. Again though, you intend it to be your last thankfully. For this you can at least feign a smile through the day.

"Coming right up!"

These people, these peons. They'll learn. You'll show all of them! Soon it'll be you who is waited on and served by people like this. Yes, that'll be nice... through your shift it does give you the chance to ponder your villainous plans then. Not to mention, how you plan on actually quitting at the end of your shift and what to say to your boss.

Whittling away the hours with every over-complicated drink and snack prepared, you've gotten so boring used to your job that you can almost perform all the necessary tasks without paying attention. Feeling like a weary cog in a rotten machine that you're soon to spring free from. And since you don't have to pay too much attention to what you're doing, that gives you plenty opportunity all the while to daydream about your soon to be villainous debut.

Of course the most important thing of all in truth, are your goals. You know, what you actually want to accomplish by doing all this and why? Before you get down to such deep and complicated matters however, it couldn't hurt to first have a foundation on which to build, in reaching for such lofty villainous goals!

And to that end, well why wouldn't you be pondering about your evil identity! You are and always have been Carrie Cross but that isn't all you are anymore. How many afternoons growing up, spend imagining a super persona for yourself and what practice you've had for this. If you're being honest you had imagined yourself a hero back in those days but overtime your favor changed to what it is now.

So, what makes a supervillain? What will your identity be? Of course nothing has to be set in stone but there are some basic things you should figure out...

>What will you wear? Something practical or stylish? Something intimidating, or even some crazy 'Super' outfit like the old Saturday morning shows?
>What will you be called? People may ascribe some name to you, but you can always affirm your own moniker.
>How much do you want to lean on your superpower? Of course you will make use of your abilities, but does that define your identity? Or are you a villain regardless, who happens to have your abilities?
>How much do you care about secrecy? You very well choose an identity but not bother with any disguise, you know some superhumans like that while others are quite mysterious.

You have, and spend the time scribbling down all sorts of relevant things on the back of a napkin. These are just some probably essential points, but anything you think is relevant really, you can suggest and consider. Since nothing has to be permanent, you can see what works... at least for the time being.

>>5909482
In effect, how might you want to present yourself for your first villainous caper? The more you get use to this the more developed and certain you can become with your identity.

But for this first time, admittedly amateur effort, how do you want to start out?

>>5909482
>What will you wear? Something practical or stylish? Something intimidating, or even some crazy 'Super' outfit like the old Saturday morning shows?
Crazy super outfit all the way

>What will you be called? People may ascribe some name to you, but you can always affirm your own moniker.
Oh man I'm super bad with names

>How much do you want to lean on your superpower? Of course you will make use of your abilities, but does that define your identity? Or are you a villain regardless, who happens to have your abilities?
Little, they kinda suck. Good for a back pocket trick, but definitely not our main tool.

>How much do you care about secrecy? You very well choose an identity but not bother with any disguise, you know some superhumans like that while others are quite mysterious.
A LOT
max mystery
in fact we can even call ourselves mysteria, lets gooooo

>>5909482
>What will you wear? Something practical or stylish? Something intimidating, or even some crazy 'Super' outfit like the old Saturday morning shows?
Depends on what we can exploit with our powers; no use going for a complex look if we can't maintain it when we stretch.

>What will you be called? People may ascribe some name to you, but you can always affirm your own moniker.
We are an elastic person with plans fror great villainy. We shall be... 'Stretch Goals!'

>How much do you want to lean on your superpower? Of course you will make use of your abilities, but does that define your identity? Or are you a villain regardless, who happens to have your abilities?
Far from a minor league power! This is the ability of Mr Fantastic, Elastigirl! But those dumb heroes never gave it the utility that villainy could put it to... we'll lean on it heavily in our villainous plans!

>How much do you care about secrecy? You very well choose an identity but not bother with any disguise, you know some superhumans like that while others are quite mysterious.
Our ability makes disguise easy, for we can reshape our very body. We will care about secrecy... but always be ready for the dramatic flourish of a villain reveal!

>>5909823
>>5909683
A reminder, but also to clarify and otherwise better explain your lowly superpower, so that you may consider and plan around it; your body is elastic but you have no control over that, it's merely the physical property of your body.

So for example you cannot reach and stretch your arms up to grab say, the edge of a rooftop from standing in the street below. You can however, stand up on the rooftop to grab the edge and then drop down to the street below, causing your arms to stretch you all the way down (if you maintain your grip of course). But the moment you let go from that rooftop edge, naturally your arms will snap back to you and their regular shape. Another example could be, changing the shape of your body which can certainly be done but unless you have an external way of holding that shape, you won't be able to keep it on your own. Like being able to form-fit your head inside a square box, but pulling the box off will cause your head to reshape to normal. Though even without control over your elasticity, it's not without some passive benefits. Toughness namely, given that your body can endure however you stretch and contort it, so you're quite resistant to trauma. You wouldn't want to get stabbed with a knife of course, but could throw their best punch at your head and it wouldn't bother you.

This much you know, at least. Maybe you could develop your power more with time and practice like one does with a muscle, but then maybe not. You've spent your whole life till now trying to avoid your power so you never tried much to see what you are or could be capable of.

>>How much do you want to lean on your superpower? Of course you will make use of your abilities, but does that define your identity? Or are you a villain regardless, who happens to have your abilities?

If there's a tie at the end, I'll make my secondary vote 'stretch goals' because pun names are fun.

Stretch goals
>How much do you want to lean on your superpower? Of course you will make use of your abilities, but does that define your identity? Or are you a villain regardless, who happens to have your abilities?
We'll learn on the job

>How much do you care about secrecy? You very well choose an identity but not bother with any disguise, you know some superhumans like that while others are quite mysterious.

You more than get carried away imagining a villainous persona for yourself, that you often space out between serving and preparing tasks behind the counter. Being called to snap out of it now and then is sufficient, but before you know it most of the shit has passed by the time you settle on the various essential details for your intended identity. At least, the one you will be starting out with just as soon as you-

"-Carrie! You listening? I'd like to talk after you're done with that."

Ugh, your boss Adam. Always making it hard for you, always an annoyance, always trouble... well, maybe not. But it's easier to convince yourself how bad the job is if you also hate your boss, finding whatever little things about him you can dislike. Oh how you'd love to give him a piece of your mind and doubly so given that you plan on quitting at the end of your shift, within the hour.

"-and that's why I think you're manager material! Almost two years now, you've definitely earned it."

"...what?"

This is uncomfortable, you hadn't expected this. Maybe some corporate response about your birthday, not a promotion. It seems the brand is opening a few new locations and want Adam to oversee them, leaving the position of manager here up in the air. Part of you feels flattered for his confidence in you, and enamored with the idea of being in charge of this place now... but that part you stomp down into the dust and grind your heels on.

You're supposed to be quitting today! Later tonight even, or at least tomorrow for sure, you plan on becoming a supervillain! No more time to waste in this franchise coffee shop.

>Politely decline, you're quitting anyway. You committed to your last day, this is just another part of the grind before you finally walk out.

You grumble all the way to the bus stop, having finished your shift for the day. As much as you'd intended to quit, you were blindsided by the offer of promotion and ended up accepting. It doesn't sit well with you and the thought of spending one more day at that place is repulsive when instead you should be out seizing your destiny!

For the sake of pragmatism however, you can consider it as a temporary arrangement. At least for the time being until you find your own feet and become established as a villain. Admittedly the extra pay will help, as well as the promotion itself to get dad off your back about the registration. Plus, having an alibi couldn't hurt...

That's still several weeks away at least though, before you're running that dismal place. For now, you're off the clock and it's after noon. It won't be long before dad is ringing you about getting over to the courthouse, but you've got an hour or so until then at least. As you shove open the front door to your house and drop your keys in the bowl, to plonk down on the living room couch and wonder what to do next.

>See about getting that supervillain outfit! You came up with the idea but how to actually go about getting such a grandiose and stylish attire...

Test our new powers. After all, before coming up with any schemes or costumes, it's vital to know what we can and can't do. It'd be bad to plan around stunts we can't pull or put together a costume that restricts our elasticity

Seems like a majority for spending the time to test out your super power? Well you don't have a lair yet but you could probably find someplace private to experiment.

What you want to try doing though, and how much you want to try and exert/stress yourself, you can go ahead and specify! As well as roll a 1d100, for the effort. Who knows, depending on what you choose/specify to do, how hard you try (but also risk), and what you roll, you may learn or develop your abilities further!

Rolled 98 (1d100)

>>5911173
Hmm... I guess we should start out with seeing how far we can extend our hands/extremities and still use them effectively? Like how far can we maneuver them before they become unusable? Maybe try to move around corners with our hands, etc.

Very nice.

We may not be able to stretch our body, but can we compress it? We should in theory have much more flexibility than the average human, which would make acrobatics easier. We might even be able to squeeze through small holes like an octopus.

There’s also the chance that we could compress our body at will by using said mobility to bend our joints far beyond natural limits, say, winding our arm back and twisting our hips until we’ve built up a large amount of elastic energy. We could then relax our muscles to release that energy and deliver a devastating punch.

Given the time, you think it would be wisest to test out your superhuman abilities and gain a better understanding of what you're capable of. The worst thing that could happen is you engage in villainy and then find out the hard way at some critical moment what your limits are. Especially if, chances are you run up against other superhumans. If and when the authorities grade your crimes beyond a certain threshold, then heroes will be after you.

Of course a gym or something like that would be nice, but you don't have one yourself and probably won't find one empty in the middle of the day. The next best thing then; the woods near your house!

"Alright Caroline, let's see what you're made of... or should I say, Stretch Goals ahah!"

Managing to find a decently secluded spot in the forest, you'll at least be able to know if someone is coming from afar.

---

You ponder what various tests and experiments you can get up to then, to test your capabilities. The first, being the limits to your elasticity. By grabbing and holding a tree, you walk backwards through the woods farther and farther away causing your arms to elongate further and further. In the end you can make it about a hundred feet away you'd guess, before it becomes too difficult to continue. You notice however that this isn't specifically the limit of how far you can stretch but rather the point where the tug from your stretched arms will start to stretch the rest of your body, and then you loose footing of the ground. If for example you made it these hundred feet away, someone could grab your feet and then pull you probably another hundred feet or more.

"I wonder if I just let go from there... no, I bet that would hurt." you wonder aloud while walking the hundred feet back to the tree you held onto.

Though whether you'd actually want to stretch that much is questionable, since naturally the farther you stretch the thinner your body becomes and by a certain point the stress becomes difficult to maintain and even painful. But you know your practical limit for now.

"Uagh, that looks gross!" you remark in alarm at your elongated torso.

Another idea is to see what else is able to stretch. Of course your entire body is elastic but you didn't consider more than your limbs really. By relying on the height of a tree however, you can anchor your feet and then climb up with your arms to reach a height where your entire body starts to stretch rather than your limbs. A little bit sickening to observe actually, a limb getting longer is one thing but seeing the rest of your body elongating is rather weird. There's also a problem you find with your clothes and how they become ill-fitting or even start to fall off embarrassingly, when you deform your body enough.

Indeed, your body may be elastic but your clothes aren't. And this is just lateral stretching, if you started to spread out your body in multiple directions then your clothes may end up constricting against and restraining you.

There's also an idea to alter mass or volume of yourself in parts, but you can't seem to come up with a way of doing so which doesn't prove futile against your own elasticity.

"Tight fit in here... hello Madam, do you take reservations? Why certainly, we have a table for two by the wind- AGH! Spiders!"

You've done a lot of stretching but how about compressing? You manage to find a hollowed out tree, with some narrow openings previously used by some critters probably. A normal person could only reach their hand in, but with effort you are able to squeeze your entire body through such a narrow space and fit inside. A very weird feeling as you relax and your body naturally fills out to whatever space is available to you, it's just a good thing you aren't claustrophobic! An interesting test, cut short by feeling that you aren't the only occupant of the tree, which you burst out of in a frenzied panic dance to get the creepy crawlies off.

When eventually you settle down, there's some considering towards how much you could compress. You wonder if it may be possible even to squeeze yourself underneath a doorway for example, but similar to the problem of elongating your body, you imagine your clothes would be the limiting factor. One other test of your compression is the idea of twisting for momentum, which feels tremendously weird but does seem possible. As you manage to twist your arm around so many times and release it for a staggering display of force. The same may be true for the rest of your body but the issue here is that you can't just twist or contort yourself alone, you need something to anchor yourself or hold onto, to do it.

"...okay, this is a bit much..." you murmur in awareness, feeling your altered curviness.

The final test. Well you don't suppose you could avoid the curiosity looming at the back of your mind, but... would any self-conscious young adult do differently when it comes to looks? Same as with any part of your body, you can grab and pull at parts of yourself to stretch them but the shape doesn't hold once you let go. One thing you discover almost by accident though, is how there isn't much limit to air you can breathe in. Thus inflating your lungs further and further and distending your torso. Too much becomes silly but even a little more than human limits, has a pronounced effect. In actuality it doesn't really make your chest bigger, but it does give that appearance. The other thing you discover when trying to lift heavy rocks, is there's a point where weight upon your body exceeds your natural elasticity, causing your whole form to compress to compensate. Naturally a lot of mass and weight orients to your hips for support, warping your figure noticeably.

In effect, these methods can make you curvier although you think it would be easier to just do something like wear a corset, which will just squeeze your elasticity to either side for the desired effect. Not that you really needed these though, you take after your mother and are naturally rather well-endowed to show for it.

---

Though you'd only aimed to spend about an hour messing around in the woods, you easily forget everything else when you have so much to show for your efforts. After all the experimenting with what you're capable of, you decide to put everything to the test... and have an exhilarating time of it! Running through the woods, climbing and leaping from trees, managing athletic feats you never imagined yourself capable of. It's quite impressive really! And though you have many stumbles and falls, your superhuman toughness carries you through! In actuality you aren't any faster or more agile than an average person, in fact less so since you'd never put much effort into athleticism, but the more you try and exert yourself the more comfortable and used to your body you become and that does wonders for your agility. Any person in shape may be able to surpass you, but you'd put up a strong competition!

And this is as you are, you wonder in time what you may become capable of with continued practice and diligence.

More than just physical exhilaration though, you come to enjoy this exercise and understanding of your body that, for the first time in a long time you begin feeling... comfortable with yourself. Certainly your body at least, not afraid or ashamed of it and your superhuman nature. When it had always been such a burden to you, caused you such troubles and upset through most of your life. Of course you can't or won't just turn over a new leaf and suddenly become a new person, your withdrawn nature is who you are and that will surely persist once you leave these woods and return to your normal life. But for your own self-esteem, maybe you'll feel less like of an alien in your own skin and less of a freak around the people in your life. To be able to make the best of what you didn't ask for, but what you have. And hey, you suppose it could be worse considering your superpower doesn't make you stand out in a crowd compared to some of the more extreme superhumans you know of.

In any case you end up running yourself to exhaustion and enjoying every minute of it, losing track of time in the process. Panting for breath and distorting your chest a little from it, the ringing of your phone is what reminds you of the rest of the world.

"Oh right... dad."

Late into the afternoon now, soon to be evening, real life tries to draw you back with claws. There's dad calling you about you know what, but also numerous messages from Chris and Kelly, your friends.

>Answer the phone, or better yet you can just walk back to see dad now that he's home. You anticipate friction however.
>Better to answer but lie about where you are. You're... downtown, at the courthouse yeah! No worries about registration!
>Dad can wait awhile still, you've put off your friends all day and it'll give you something to do and not be at home.
>An unconscionable write-in?

We’ll actually be buying time to come up with a scheme to avoid being registered. Whether that involves persuading our dad to let us not register, falsify our documents or create a situation where he’s forced to let us have our way, I don’t know.

How much of a stickler for the rules is our dad, QM? Would he be willing to break the rules if we, say, committed a petty crime using our powers which would instant out us as a criminal if we ever got registered?

>>5912105
Such is the issue with registration, if you commit a crime and your powers are noticed then the authorities will easily be aware. Hence the consideration of a superhuman not so freely displaying their powers, especially a criminal superhuman.

As for your dad, you'd get the best understanding by talking with him. However from what you've known most of your life, he is pretty tolerant and supportive of you. You know he wouldn't be happy if you didn't register because your superhuman nature is a finicky point for him, but you hope he wouldn't disown you for something like that. The problem is when it comes to crime, if you were to avoid registering because you want to commit criminal acts and elude the law? You're scared to think of how he would react.

You'd like to avoid lying to your dad when possible, he's the only family you've got after all. Of course you already know what he's calling about, and had been brooding on the matter since getting off work. Fortunately in that regard you have the perfect excuse which isn't really a lie about the registration, rather a distraction from it.

"A promotion? Good for you hun, you deserve it. Take as long as you need there, don't worry about dinner."

"...dinner?"

It seems you were wrong about what you dad wanted, that rather than any registration concerns he had planned for a surprise dinner at a fancy restaurant for your birthday and was wondering when you'd be home. Well you already made up an excuse for now so you can't just change it, but maybe if you don't leave it too long you can still be home in time? Of course it's a relief that you don't have to lie to him over the phone but that's just kicking the problem down the road, since he surely will use the chance over dinner to bring up the topic. And then that would be the more uncomfortable situation to be in... then again, maybe not. Maybe you'd be better able to make a serious discussion about it, rather than just casual talk at home.

Who knows, either way it's not a problem you ever wanted to have to deal with but it's the way things are. The one thing you are pretty sure about though is that either way, you don't want to register. Partly because you don't believe it's a just law but mostly because you can only see it as a hindrance. Though it's not like there's nothing to be said about going through the process... heroes make a point of meeting people who register, you'll be put in touch with superhuman contact groups, and there's all sorts of financial incentives involved. For someone who didn't want to become a villain it's not half a bad arrangement, all things considered.

If you have made up your mind though and refuse to register, you'll probably have to come up with some way of covering for that. Forged documents and identification? How would you even go about something like that?

>Bah, who cares? You've got your first crime to plan for this very night!

After the promotion excuse you need something to pass the time, and with Kelly's help you think you could kill two birds with one stone. That's right, your two lasting friends from high school, Kelly and Chris. Even as an outcast you still managed to find two people who shared interests, or rather they found you. Admittedly pretty loser-y at the time, the fandom and favor of superheroes and other such nerdy obsessions, but it was some comfort and friendship against the social... troubles, you had through high school.

Of the three of you, Kelly was always the savviest and most sociable so you expect she may be able to help you with this particular matter. First though, you've got to get through the formalities.

"Thanks Kelly but I really don't need-"

"Girl, it's your birthday. I got this."

Well she certainly surprises you with a whirlwind of shopping and frivolity, as well as how much she's able to cram into so little time. Trouble keeping up with her almost as she drags you about Southside from one place to the next in celebration. A little exhaustive after the busy day so far but you know this is as much an excuse for her to enjoy herself as well, so you don't mind.

Plus she surprised you with a killer thermos present, the kind everyone is buzzing about in the media currently. As well, she wants to take you out drinking and as expected has fake ID, which brings you to the point. You disappointingly decline her offer since you still may want to make time for dad, but there is something she can help you with more than just a present.

"Ok, who're you and what'd you do with my friend? Oh my god, always afraid to break the rules, goodie-two-shoes Carrie wants to fake some registration... is it because it's your big 2-0?"

You're embarrassed enough to bring up this topic in the first place with her, you don't need her making a fuss about it. She's always a teaser, but fortunately it seems that she knows a girl who knows a guy. The same that got her fake ID and the like since high school.

She thinks he could help and get you what you want, but this is of course only by her assumptions since you're careful about not fully revealing all the relevant information to her. Despite her and Chris being your best friends, they don't know of your superhuman nature is why, and if they could avoid finding out you think you might prefer that... at least your friendship wouldn't potentially change because of it.

So while there is some relief that you may be able to get exactly what you need, it isn't without concern. Namely that, you'll have to be relying on some stranger to forge sensitive government documents for you. This isn't like a driver's license which everyone has, there's no way you'd be able to hide the fact that it's a superhuman registration and thus... revealing that aspect about yourself to the guy. Even if he sounds trustworthy, you're not sure if you're comfortable with another person knowing about you like that.

>Well it's not optimal, but it's the best option you have. Ask Kelly to put you in touch with the guy.

You appreciate having the option available to you, but for the time being you'd prefer to think on the matter and decide when you have a better sense of your plans. In the meantime, you thank Kelly for the impromptu birthday outing and her much-appreciated gifts, before calling it an evening and having her drop you off back home.

"Next time!"

"Next time."

"Mwah mwah!"

The sun is setting by the time you get back home, going through the side entrance to the kitchen. Kicking your shoes off and dropping your keys to the bowl, you hear your dad from the living room.

"That you hun?"

"No dad, I'm a burglar."

While looking for space in the fridge to stash some of the goodies you got while out with Kelly, you get hugged from behind. Seems dad is quite proud of you for your promotion, sure it's only a waging McJob but it demonstrates responsibility and dependability and blah blah blah a lot of other nonsense. In any case all the more reason to celebrate he thinks, still offering to go out someplace fancy for your birthday since it's not yet too late.

"I mean... I've had a really long day, not 'no' but let me crash for a bit and I'll let you know. I'd have to find something to wear and..."

"Sure, sure hun. And if you're not feeling it let me know, I can order something for take-out and we can still have a decent time here."

Perfect! Non-committal and no pressure for what you may or may not have done today or were supposed to have done, as you stomp upstairs to your room. Shoving open the door and collapsing on your bed with a tired groan. Not entirely an excuse either, you're actually feeling pretty sore and worn out now after all that stretching and practice with your powers earlier. You dread what you may feel like come tomorrow and the days after, like exercising a muscle you suppose.

In the meantime though you roll over to stare at the ceiling, pondering what you should do now with the opportunity.

As much as you're raring to get out there and start engaging in villainy, you don't want to overstep and risk failure. Even if you shouldn't need much planning for your early capers... you think, you still want a good foundation to build your criminal career upon. As long as you have that strong base then you needn't fear mistakes here and there, right?

With your mind a swirl with ideas then, you stretch and try to reach for your laptop at the end of the bed. Maybe with time or practice you'd be able to extend your body to grab it, but for now you have to roll over with an annoyed groan to reach it. First of all you log all the information relevant to your evil identity that you came up with earlier, fishing the notes-covered napkin from your pocket. Also some cursory searches for clothes and parts you'd need to assemble your supervillain outfit...

"...eeesh, why is everything expensive?!"

To round off the rest of your relevant information however, there's those last categories. None of them as important as your identity of course but all of them contributory and part of the whole. Firstly there's the matter of your supervillain lair. On just a personal basis you'd prefer to not keep living at home with your dad, moving out to get your own place would be a nice improvement for Carrie Cross. But for Stretch Goals, an evil lair is a separate matter altogether. Chances are you wouldn't want your base to be the same as your home, so you'd have to consider where to set it up.

At least, you won't be trying to run a criminal enterprise out of your dad's house. No self-respecting supervillain doesn't have a lair of some sort to retire to and plot. But if that's where you hang your cape, then how do you get around? You need some method of transportation.

>Transit! Your villain vehicle has one purpose only, to get you from point A to point B as fast and reliably as possible.
>Base of operations! From your villain vehicle you'll be able to organize and command, and spend as much time as you need. A secondary (or perhaps primary) base of sorts.
>Deterrent! Like a supervillain of vehicles, something powerful and intimidating for use in crimes. You couldn't use it to get around normally but when the time comes, people will cower in fear of your vehicle as much as they do of you.

>Something else? Feel free to suggest whatever you think of, as an idea for transport!

This city is a big place. Not dense but fairly spread out so unless you take to living in the downtown area, where most things are going on, you'll need a way of getting around the city. If that takes care of your domain and your method from once place to another, then last would be... the help!

>Partners in crime! If you can find people loyal enough, you want your henchmen with you at all times. Teamwork makes the dream work!
>Sidekick! You'd prefer to rely on superhumans, so maybe you can find someone else with powers who will accompany you in your villainy! Or perhaps even you could become a sidekick yourself, if only to learn the ropes for a time.
>Support! You welcome help from others, but you don't want them getting in the way. Any henchmen you recruit will act behind the scenes in support of your efforts.

Unless you choose to operate alone, it couldn't hurt to have assistance. What worthwhile supervillain doesn't have henchmen after all? Though like with the lair and the transport, it may be a challenge to find minions for your desired task. With all of these categories though, like your villain identity, they are appropriately enough... Stretch Goals! Things you have in order to strive for, depending on how successful you are as a villain. There may be intermediary options along the way that you make use of, but as with your evil identity these aspects will form the foundation upon which you stand and rise as a supervillain!

Personally I'm partial to a SKY FORTRESS, but we might need some time to acquire one of those.

>Partners in crime! If you can find people loyal enough, you want your henchmen with you at all times. Teamwork makes the dream work!

This is a very interesting quest so far.

>>5914306
Given the name Stretch Goals and her recent promotion, I suspect Carrie's line of work will be financially oriented. She might only use her powers when she needs to tie up "loose ends."

>Command center! A facility providing you with everything you could need to pose a threat at large across a vast area, things like communications and logistics.
Nothing conspicuous. A small house or modest apartment to rent with university students would be solid until she finds a more ideal place. The other listed ideas would either draw suspicion or eventually be found when authorities find electricity being used in places it shouldn't be. Carrie should educate herself in software engineering, obsec, and cyber security. If she needs more equipment or needs to sneak into a library, being able to fit inside small spaces affords her options. Finding a ThinkPad for sale online to coreboot and tinker with may be a good start. This will happen over a few years, but is likely to reap the most benefits. Stretch Goals, remember. Her operations can shift and change as she progresses.

>Something else? Feel free to suggest whatever you think of, as an idea for transport!
A combination of her powers and hitching rides on transit or other vehicles. She's elastic and can fit inside trees, meaning she could slink underneath trains and automobiles, slither into vents and pipes, swing around like Spider-Man, and whatnot. It'd take a genius to get a pin on her, and most of them work for rich people or the government, so she just needs to avoid poking the bear to maintain a safe profile.

>Partners in crime! If you can find people loyal enough, you want your henchmen with you at all times. Teamwork makes the dream work!
Network with techies and business types and keep the truth of our powers on a strictly need to know basis.

>...and, anything else besides these you think may be important or necessary?
If the choice of Carrie's suit is still in the works, let's go for something that could shrink and stretch with her while she blends into whatever. That's a given, but the choices of material that could accomplish that are limited. A dark gray or brown would let her adapt to most environments, blending into walls, wood, crevices, or looking like sludge leaking out of a pipe. Tight satin rubber that fits her like a full skin suit might be her best option until she gets the money to purchase something better. If she can contract her body from inside, she can use the vacuum she creates to hold the surface of her suit to her skin.

"Hustling" in cyberspace and finance, using her powers when she needs a hands-on approach.

You delight to the productive time you spend finalizing the rest of your necessary supervillain particulars. Before you had an idea for what kind of villain you wanted to be, but now you have an idea for how. Of course like your identity, you may change these things with time but they all comprise some definite and motivating goals to stretch for, or something like that.

Although you technically lack such things as an actual supervillain lair or evil transport method, those are all just minor details! You can take care of it in time, now that there's really nothing stopping you from going out and committing super-crimes!

"Carol, hun! We doing anything? It's getting late."

"-coming dad!"

Nothing stopping you apart from din-dins of course! Well you took too long figuring out your devious goals, as dad reminds you but there's still the chance for something good to take out and eat at home for your special day! Ten minutes deliberating where, ten minutes driving there, ten to wait and ten to return. A delicious spread from that Thai place that opened up, and dad even got a surprise cake for you earlier! Maybe going out to a fancy restaurant for a fancy evening would have been nicer, but you enjoy yourself plenty at home.

"Slow down hun, how can you stomach all that?"

"Cahn't hehlp iht! Sho ghood!"

It's a good thing you ordered extras because after all that physical exertion earlier you are quite starving, ending up eating more than twice as much as your dad. Maybe you'll regret that later but for now you don't pay much mind to it as you enjoy pigging out on the couch as the birthday girl, while some streaming shows play on the TV. A pleasant way to end a busy and productive day, altogether a pretty decent birthday and start to your twenties, you think. Nothing could ruin it now except-

"So you want me to drive you to the courthouse tomorrow? I'll come in with you if you want."

Between eating and watching TV as you lounge the night away on the couches together, you talk about a bunch of different things with your dad. His biggest interest is your job and the matter of your pending promotion, but he also goes to some length relating his own 20th birthday... when he and mom were together. As much as he recalls it at least, but he's glad that you've enjoyed yours. You have such a pleasant time of it all that you forget the elephant in the room... until he brings it up. The courtesy of leaving it till last, but of course he didn't forget.

Although you were able to stall it another day, you're aware of how less and less able you are to put it off, as much as you have done these past several years. After today you're beyond the age deadline, which isn't a penalty itself but now that you're twenty, if you get caught exercising your superhuman nature and your powers discovered then you will face trouble. Given the route you intend to go down on the path to supervillainy, it's hard to put into words how little any of it concerns you since automatically you're accepting a life of crime by doing this. But given the time and consideration, maybe you do feel differently about registration than you did before? Or at the very least, how you feel in regards to dad's own concerns about you not registering.

Either way, now seems about the best chance you're going to get with him to discuss this either way.

>As much as you've done to avoid it, you finally feel it's best to just be honest with your dad about this. He may have his feelings about it, but it's your life at the end of the day.
>Forget registration, you're devoting yourself to a life of supercrime! Sorry dad, but your little girl is a supervillain and she's going to take over the world!
>Ahahah, yeeeaaahhh... it's no big deal, he doesn't have to concern himself with it anymore! You've handled everything yourself and will see it taken care of... more lies. Though, thanks to Kelly you may actually have something to show him for it.
>Jeez, will he get off your back already?! Why does he care so much about this anyway?
>An awful write-in?

>>5916456
I've just read up, so I'll let the other anons decide on this one, but I would like to suggest a potential applications of our power for financial evil.
Considering we can compress to fill up a space, couldn't we do that with a lock? The main problem would be leaving either fingerprints or plenty of DNA on the scene...

>>5916456

our first crime :)

>>5916777
Not sure we can do so with the rigidity and precision required to pick the lock, but it is a good idea. I think it would be easier to just compress ourselves through the gap between the door and the floor though.

>>5916456
>>Ahahah, yeeeaaahhh... it's no big deal, he doesn't have to concern himself with it anymore! You've handled everything yourself and will see it taken care of... more lies. Though, thanks to Kelly you may actually have something to show him for it.

I doubt he'd be a huge fan of our life of crimes, and we can always show him a fake certificate. Granted, it'll suck if he finds out, but it's better to avoid unnecessary drama early on.

>>5916456
>Ahahah, yeeeaaahhh... it's no big deal, he doesn't have to concern himself with it anymore! You've handled everything yourself and will see it taken care of... more lies. Though, thanks to Kelly you may actually have something to show him for it.
Despite how bad this seems at a glance, this might protect him in the long run. He'll be much further out of the way in case any local gang chapters or the mob puts Stretch Goals on their shit list.

>>5916777
I think >>5916834 has the right idea. Wearing a skin tight suit to cover her whole body will minimize the chances of leaving DNA evidence while allowing for slipping through gaps. Morphing into small precision geometry won't be possible until Carrie hones her abilities and gets her hands on better tech for her suit.

Speaking of Carrie, what does she look like? I've just been picturing her as brunette with a short shag haircut so far.

>>5916834
>Rigidity
Pressure is a wonderful thing
>Precision
Dependent on the lock type, we may just be able to brute force things somewhat. Or work it backwards? Push material (us) deep and up to the last pin, keep pressed against the back of the lock. Keep adding more pushing up until we feel the click. Allow the stretched material to flow up into the second to last pin, maybe by filling the remaining space in the last pin's cavity?. Repeat. Like water filling in from the bottom of a series of glasses. Likely tough to get the hand of, but I think doable, if I'm understanding Carrie's current powerlevel correctly.

>Wearing a skin tight suit to cover her whole body will minimize the chances of leaving DNA evidence while allowing for slipping through gaps. Morphing into small precision geometry won't be possible until Carrie hones her abilities and gets her hands on better tech for her suit.

The main problem I see with that is the material actually fitting in the space. Gaps under door can get pretty small, and I fear anything that could stretch that well would be above our budget. Getting a smaller quantity of it to act as a makeshift glove for lockpicking, however.

Ei ther way, I'd still like to see Carrie try. The potential applications should hold her interest, and improving our fine motor control can only be a good thing.

>>5917060
>The main problem I see with that is the material actually fitting in the space. Gaps under door can get pretty small, and I fear anything that could stretch that well would be above our budget.
She could manipulate pressure between the inside surface of her suit and her skin to make it as close of a fit as she can. The rub is figuring out what kind of object could do the job until better options are within reach. A flexible rubber or elastic fabric could work, but what shape?

Yes that's the right idea, more lies! There's no way anything could catch up to you or go wrong, when you can just keep lying about everything! Even to your own father of all people, or especially him since he's the most likely to believe you! So, you make up some excuses about having all the details of your registration sorted out, and you'll take care of it in the next few days. No need for him to bother about it anymore... in truth, thanks to Kelly you may actually have a means of backing up your deception, if that guy she knows can adequately fake documentation. Whether you actually go to him for this isn't certain yet, but it's a relief to know that you have a lifeline available to you if need be.

In any case you manage to settle the matter with your dad finally, more or less, and with such an immense weight off your shoulders you can get back to enjoying your evening together. A great dinner, a delightful cake, some crappy streaming shows and movies, and dad even lets you have a drink or two. All hush hush of course, as he often reminds you of his looking forward to being able to go out to a bar with his daughter and have a drink. For now though it's just an excuse for him to tip back more than a few, and he predictably ends up drunk and even breaks through the coffee table before passing out on the floor.

Stifling laughter at the expected outcome, you struggle to move him at least to the couch and cover him in a blanket before turning off the TV and the lights, just the kitchen lit in case he gets up later.

"Hoo-ee! Bwuh-huh lookit that... soooo weird!"

Getting up and moving around though, you soon find your own difficulty with being tipsy as your body's elasticity becomes quite unpredictable. Like dreams or the feeling of trying to move through molasses, except for you it feels like your body is made of molasses as you struggle to keep upright on wobbly and floppy limbs. A couple times reaching out to stop yourself from falling and stretching your arm farther than you normally could have... you think. Of course it'll pass, give it awhile once you get upstairs and you'll be back to normal you reckon. Eventually flopping down on your bed and feeling your extremities start to soften and spill out over the sheets like melting ice cream.

Ah, but even though it's late and you're not in the best condition to be hurrying about, you're not tired and maybe it's the drinks but you're feeling pretty bold... like you'd want to go out and perform your first crime tonight anyway! That sounds like fun, a little trouble to cap off your birthday. You're not out of it enough to realize that is a bad idea, but it seems like a fun bad idea nevertheless.

More just, less stable than usual. But give it awhile and you ought to recover, you're not that drunk where you've completely lost all form of yourself.

>>5916777
Always worth a try! It's worth remembering though that while you can compress and contort your body, there is a minimum limit depending on your "volume" so to speak. So you may be able to become and occupy a space much smaller than a human body, but you can't reduce the actual physical amount of the flesh/mass that you're made of. Unless you start chopping parts of you off, or start losing weight.

>>5917060
>>5917030

Better safe than sorry. It's easy to screw up when drunk. Heaven for bid we do something actually fucked and run over someone while DUI.

You'll give it awhile till you're feeling better, probably around about midnight, but you are eager to accomplish something villainous even if it's not a serious crime to avoid much risk. The question is what sort of minor caper do you want to get up to?

>Something personal, you've got a few scores to settle.
>An actual crime, maybe petty but you wouldn't mind having something to show for your birthday.

An actual crime right now would catch heat a lot sooner than she can currently prepare for. We have no equipment nor disguise yet. Practice would give her a feel for things before risk enters the picture.

It's late but you're feeling bold enough to begin your life of villainy this very evening! Or at least, you're feeling that way after a trip to the bathroom to hurl, when you start feeling sick. Probably more that you ate too much too quick, but the drinks didn't help. And uh... you may also have stumbled back to bed and passed out for awhile too.

But stirring awake a little after midnight from a neighbor slamming their car trunk outside, you groggily crawl out of bed again. Feeling a lot better and clearheaded, after chugging some water, you feel up for a little crime. A little crime, you're not 100% and you know it not to mention your lack of preparedness.

But if you keep it small time, what could go wrong? That's the spirit! Ah, but... what crime to commit? You could try breaking and entering to burgle a place, trespassing to cause some property damage, or even try to mug someone, who knows? There's any number of things you could get up to that wouldn't be too serious in nature. Below the interest of a real supervillain perhaps, but just a first-time thing to get you in the mindset for what is to come.

That is to say, as much trouble as one might be able to even get up to around South-end this late. This isn't New York or LA, beyond downtown much of your small city is closed at this hour.

>A villainous write-in!

>>5918617
In this regard, feel free to suggest what sort of petty crime caper you'd like to try your hand at. And how, if at all, you'd want to prepare. If there's anything that is need-to-know, to help with your idea or planning, feel free to ask.

Otherwise if you can't come up with anything, Carrie left to her own devices could probably figure something out but it's sure to not be as creative or well-planned.

As your mind wanders to various crime possibilities, you come to settle on one you think would make for a dastardly first time caper... your high school! You always hated it and your life was miserable there, so why not return the favor so to speak? Give that bastard Mr. Humperdink something to really think about when he goes to school on Monday. Why, you're already getting excited just thinking about it!

Maybe a little too excited, that in hindsight you may have said you weren't well-prepared for this, but then why wouldn't you be giddy for your villainous debut. What you're lacking for in preparations, you make up for in spirit! So you pace about your room in a frenzy thinking about what you may need for what you have in mind, throwing on your clothes from earlier. Maybe not as flattering as your planned supervillain outfit, but in the meantime you think a hoodie and cargo pants aren't the worst outfit for starting out. Able to conceal your identity (along with a face mask) and able to carry whatever you may need. It's easy enough to sneak downstairs and outside with dad asleep, find some spray cans in the garage and get your bike out.

Then, it's just waiting for a driver from a ride-app this late...

"I know you're in here buddy! You know the police will find you if I don't!"

Drat, double drat! You thought you did everything right, planned everything so carefully! You got a ride from your house to a closer, but still far away location, to ride your bike the rest of the way there. You turned off and hid your phone at that place just in case, then rode and stashed your bike to a closer location. Spent awhile checking for where the school bothered with any security cams, if at all. Approached from the football field to avoid the lights everywhere else. Got to spray painting all over the place, in the process trying to come up with various cool logos for your villain persona. And finally, you even managed to get inside one of the buildings without setting off any alarms, by way of an open second story window. Which, actually was rather difficult to reach and you took what would have been a nasty fall, if you didn't have your powers and could be injured that way.

What you hadn't planned on though, was the night security guard. Maybe if you had approached from the parking lot you would have noticed his car there, but instead you unexpectedly encounter him while traipsing through the halls of your old high school. You were still tangling with the courage and trepidation of perhaps going as far as burning down the place, knowing the chemistry lab would be optimal for that. So understandably a little distracted, it's quite a shock to make a turn and draw a flashlight.

What begins as a panicked chase through the place, ends up with you getting cornered in a classroom, your old English classroom in particular. The security guard hasn't found you yet as you hide in the back room, but he knows you're in one of the few classrooms at this end of the hallway and is watching and calling out for you. Before long he'll probably start checking them in search for you.

"...ooohhh what do I do, what do I do..."

Heart racing, breathing fast, mind a frenzied mess... you're scared. Maybe a step back to reflect, you'd realize you're not in danger per se, but in the moment you're too panicked to think straight. You need to come up with something to do though, and sooner rather than later.

>Find a better hiding place, use your powers if you have to. Maybe he'll give up if he can't locate you?
>Try and wait for an opportunity, then make a break for it! You only have to make it outside... although that would mean giving up your arson plan.
>Engage with him. Not that you expect to be able to talk your way out of this, but you can better act against him when you've got an eye on him.
>Try to fight the guy? You expect he would have the upper hand, but if you rely on your powers... even if you can't beat him, he certainly can't beat you.
>A rueful write-in?

>>5919440
Sigh. What a great situation to come back to.
Let's first look for power-applicable hiding places. How about behind the door? We could open the door until it touches the wall and fit behind it. The open door would lure the guard in, but we *obviously* couldn't be hiding in such a small space, so he'd likely go look further in. Give it a few seconds and slip out, then run for it.
If the door doesn't fit, maybe atop a bookcase or cabinet? Can we make ourselves smaller without a space to cram ourselves into is the question. We should have practiced some more, but this will hopefully make for a good wakeup call and not a dumb premature end to Stretch Goals' villain career...
Could we also get more precise descriptions in the future? I wouldn't mind doing write-ins for this in training. Go someplace and start scoping it out while keeping our powrs in mind. Gaps between doors and walls, space under doors, small spaces, what the furniture is like. Here, we don't even know if the desks are the kind that have a little storage space hanging out under them. Those would be perfect. Getting better info would really help, both now and in the future. I wouldn't mind it being a skill to develop, though.
Also, arson? I'm not sure it fits with our gal's stated goals so far.

>Sort of rueful write-in mixing hiding and running, I guess?

>>5919448
>Could we also get more precise descriptions in the future?

Maybe I wasn't clear but that was the earlier point of >>5918621 and >>5918138 inviting anyone to specify or ask, towards details they had in mind or wanted/needed to know for deciding on and planning this caper. Since no one did, I figured players were fine with a more open-ended result.

>Arson

Probably not as your normal method, but as long as no one got hurt, you'd be quite happy to see your old high school burned to the ground in particular. Still, you had your misgivings, but whether or not you follow through with it now is up in the air.

>>5919455
Oh, I meant descriptions of an actual, physical place, hence the bit about scoping out. But I would appreciate more details about the classroom itself, if possible!

Being an on-the-fly sort of sporadic effort, you can naturally expect more when it comes to a more significant and planned caper.

As for the classroom, pretty standard. One door in and out, high windows both into the hallway and for the building exterior, a supply closet, and a teacher workroom at the back with furniture and storage. Being an English classroom, indeed there are things like bookshelves and cabinets around. Various ways you could even reach the ceiling if need be. Apart from the majority of space dominated by desk rows, there's still numerous places you could hide or maneuver about.

>>5919440

>mixing hiding and running

Your mind racing for what to do in this tense situation, in the end you settle for just trying to escape. And to secure that escape, you feel that relying on your powers for a better hiding spot will provide you for the best opportunity. So then, while hiding in the back room you try to regain at least a little calm so you can act clearly, and steadying your breathing you get up from behind a desk.

Seeing the guard's flashlight through the upper windows to the hallway, you creep along and find a pretty decent hiding spot near to the door. Ideally you would have hidden right behind the door but unfortunately it opens outwards. As a decent alternative however, there are a pair of filing cabinets next to the door which, any normal person would not be able to fit behind but with your powers you can squeeze yourself between them and the wall. Uncomfortably squished flat and having a difficult time pulling your baggy clothes into such a tight space whereas your body has no difficulty, but eventually you're hidden in such a way that no one would be able to find you unless they specifically moved the cabinets from against the wall to search behind them.

Hiding in place to where you grow impatient, you lure the guard into the room by making a loud cough. Soon enough he's into the room and scanning about with his light, expecting to find some normal person. He does even look around the side of the cabinets just in case but not behind them, so that you can carefully watch and wait till you think the time is right.

"You're cornered buddy, nowhere to run now... come out slow and- hey!?"

When such a time comes then, after he's checked everywhere except the backroom, you carefully try to squeeze yourself back out from behind the cabinets without making too much noise. Unfortunately your shoes get snagged and shake the metal cabinets, immediately drawing his attention. But by then you're already on your feet and out the door. Sprinting as best you can through the dark and empty hallways of the high school in search of escape. Though the guard is hot on your heels, his yelling and stomping always close behind, it serves to drive you onward out of fear.

Eventually then, you manage to give him the slip in a stairwell long enough that you can mentally retrace your steps and double back to the same classroom you entered into the building by. Back out the same window you came in by, but in such a hurry escaping compared to your calm entry, your figure gets you caught in the narrow window and you have to try and compress yourself.

"-what're you, crazy?!"

"-huuuagh!!"

Finally catching up again, the guard jumps up to grab you by the waist since to his perception you're about to fall out a second story window. Probably intending to just hold you fast till you gave up, but his weight pulls against and elongates your body to where he falls back down to the floor holding your waist, till eventually your torso comes loose from the window and snaps back at him like a rubber band. As fast as it happened, you're not sure if he was aware of the strange... inhuman thing that just happened, but you doubt he'll be able to recall or make much sense of it, as he's left stunned from your impact to the floor. Struggling from him to get back up to the window, this time you have enough a chance to squeeze yourself back out and then just jump down.

Hitting the grass with an impact that uncomfortably compresses your body partway to a pancake, but by the time the guard is up again and yelling at you out of the window, you've regained your form and your footing and hightail it out of there! Partway across the parking lot, just whichever is the shortest distance to get off the school grounds and back to darkness.

Your heart and your mind racing in a frenzy, you're left heaving for breath against a tree by the time you hear the guard starting up his car. Still jittery and feeling a bit sick from the adrenaline of the encounter, but for now it seems... well you didn't burn the place down but you did vandalize your old high school and escape without too much trouble? Part of you wants to go back and admire your handiwork and deliver a villainous speech, but you're an exhausted and giddy mess so have the sense to think twice.

>That's enough excitement for one night! You can return home feeling content for your first villainous caper!
>Find a better location of course, but wait around to see what happens.
>How dare that guard impede you and put his hands on you! See if you can't find a way to sneak over to, and into his car, to lurk and find out where he lives when he leaves.

Feeling pretty giddy after that whole encounter, part of you would love to keep up the villainy feeling like you're on a roll. By the time you start to settle down and catch your breath again, your thoughts aren't so driven by emotion and excitement. Maybe wiser to quit while you're ahead and call it a night. After all, this is only the beginning of an illustrious career in evil!

Though you remain in high spirits while walking back to your bike and retrieving your phone, invigorated by the successful caper enough that you feel like biking the rest of the way home. Not an extremely far distance to travel but plenty of distance to get the energy out of your system and plenty of time to think of all sorts of things, between bouts of triumphant laughter.

Though you do get home rather late as a result, at least you don't have to worry about going to work later today. And, you practically pass out as soon as you hit your bed after that strenuous ride home, and overall exhausting day. With a lot to show for it though!

"Oh hun, did you get dressed again? You slept in your clothes."

"-bwuh?"

Awoken from strange dreams about being trapped in a burning building, your dad checks comes upstairs to check on you in the morni- oh wait, it's just past noon now. He wouldn't normally bother you like this, but you'd agree with that you've slept in long enough. Though he helps you out of your hoodie at least, you wince a little from the effort at your body feeling sore all over. Of course drawing his concern but you try to brush it off.

"Well I'm stepping out for awhile, you can call if you want me to get you anything... I made you breakfast but it's cold by now, if you feel like getting up."

"Thanks dad, I will."

A hug goodbye then, and soon enough you've got the house to yourself. Lazy Saturday you figure, throwing your pants to the floor in a mess besides your chair where dad folded and hung your hoodie. Stretching out in bed too, but groaning again from the debilitating soreness. Stiff enough that you expect difficulty getting up and moving around even. You wonder if it's always going to be like this when you use your abilities, but expect that it's like any muscle really. You go from never exercising your body in your superhuman way then it's bound to be tough at first until you get "into shape" with your anomalous physiology. And after all that you-

"-oh right! Caroline... you devious villain!"

You gasp at the realization when everything starts coming back from last night, recalling your first villainous caper. Excited kicking and screaming into your pillow for the success that it was, you already feel like the greatest supervillain the world has ever known! Why, you may as well head down to city hall and make your victorious villain proclamation already. This town is as good as yours, heroes better watch out!

Ah, but maybe tomorrow. After your body has had a chance to recover. For now, you wonder what to do now with the rest of the day and the house to yourself.

>You can't contain your excitement, you simply have to tell somebody! Maybe Kelly or Chris, both having texted you a bunch... probably about what happened at your old school.
>Speaking of your old school, you're dying to know what's happened since. And maybe as well, you can look into any hero response as well as simply get a better idea of the local heroes?
>You're feeling sore because you stopped your activity abruptly after last night. Maybe just within the house, you could try lightly exercising and experimenting with your powers to see what you can do in close spaces.

A little activity might be for the best, if only to work out the stiffness in your body. You can't very well be out committing crimes if you can hardly walk, after all. Plus, here in the house you can try things that you wouldn't be able to out in the woods.

So for your effort then, feel free to specify any experimental ideas you may have to want to try out, and make a 1d100 roll for the effort to see how well you can manage.

>>5920915

I don't actually have anything else to add, so I'd say get some warmup exercises done. I'd go for a variant of>>5921230 by having us grab hold of a metal bar and pulling back before jumping up slightly and launching ourselves, but that's better done in woods.
I'd also be game for going out into town and buying a couple of padlocks to train on. Also look online about ordering some basic lockpicking practice kits. Better to not have a traceable local pattern on that sorta stuff, especially if we commit related-crimes down the line.
So rolling to buff>>5921006 since he's the lowest, and we need to get used to doing that quickly and efficiently.

The day at home, nothing to do, the house to yourself. Time to practice you figure! Already familiar with your fitness capabilities out in the forest, you're curious to see what you can manage to accomplish within the enclosed space of a building. Other places you venture to aren't going to be like your house of course but it's a decent start for things you may encounter. Though here you have the luxury to experiment in ways you wouldn't be able to when out and about. Particularly in what you choose to wear, since clothes seem to be one of the only limiting factors for your abilities. First just down to your underwear to see if something is even possible, then with the same clothes you had on last night for a more realistic example of situations you would be in.

"Uagh... tight fit!"

The first idea which you've had for some time, is whether you can squeeze by doors. Prompted to the idea from last night after you squeezed behind those filing cabinets against the wall. In some awkward initial attempts you basically shove yourself against the bottom of a closed door and push as hard as you can. It takes a few attempts but eventually your body finds the space underneath and with enough force, starts squeezing under. It takes a fair bit of time but once you at least have your upper body through to the other side, then it's a lot easier to just pull the rest of you under. Though it does take a fair amount of time but you figure with practice you'll get better.

The problem is that you only manage in your underwear and even then lose them on the first attempt. The average space under doors, at least those in your house, is too narrow to fit something like a hoodie or cargo pants underneath and even if you tug at them they just get stuck. It's easy enough to squeeze yourself under with what clothes you can take with you and then just open the door from the other side to grab your clothes, but it's not as simple as you may have hoped since unlike your body your clothes can't stretch or compress. At least, not enough for very fine and tight spaces.

"Uh oh... am I stuck? Please no, too embarrassing to have to wait for dad to help..."

Your next effort as a result of the door squeezing is to see how little of an area you can fit in clothes then. With just the same stuff you were wearing last night and trying various small spaces you can find, then minimum seems to be some PVC pipes in the garage about the width inside of an average human (upper) arm. That's as small as you can compress your body along with your clothes to be able to fit through and not lose them in the process. Anything smaller than that and you either get stuck within your clothes or slip out of them in the process of moving through.

Though, this is with some baggy clothes you're wearing. Down to your underwear and you can fit through your bathtub faucet or probably down the kitchen sink if need be, in what ends up being an unexpectedly gross and grimy experience, leaving you needing a shower after the effort. Well it was a long time coming after all the exertion last night.

"Ha! Oh, almost! Fifth time's the charm!"

Moving on from the body contorting practice, you figure to try out something you already began in the woods yesterday, with potential attacks. Before it was winding your body around to unleash like a spring, but this time you try for stretched attacks. And as you find, while you can't just manage with your own body, you can rely on the environment to assist you. In this case, you tape a paper plate to your bedroom door and stretch from various lengths about your house to try and sling a punch at it from a distance. It takes a lot of attempts and probably so far the skill you'd need to practice with the most, but when you grab something elsewhere and grip on to stretch all the way to the target, you can let go so that your arm snaps all the way back and past you at some target. Just like pulling back and releasing a rubber band really.

Obviously done in a straight line makes it easier to "aim", but the thing that surprises... and scares you, is the amount of force you're able to manage. On the final attempt by grabbing the kitchen door handle downstairs while you personally stand about ten feet away from your bedroom door upstairs, when you let go and your arm quickly snaps back to you, the resultant strike against your door actually smashes it open so hard that the latch breaks and scatters metal and wood bits every which way.

"Oh jeez, I wonder how um... big I could get?"

Your final effort, while sitting at the kitchen table and looking over the broken door parts wondering what to do... is a thought to how you might, ahem enhance your figure. Given the stiffness in your body when waking up and the reduced soreness for the light exercise effort, you suspect that it may actually be able to physically alter the dimensions of your body with some time and effort. Similar to how a rubber band can lose tension overtime with stress, except that a rubber band isn't a living being which can biologically mend itself. To that end you imagine it would be possible to intentionally alter your body and maintain such a distortion, so that eventually your... physiology, cell growth, whatever you think would be anatomically responsible... will keep the alteration without you needing to hold it.

File: broken door.png (296 KB, 428x441)

So for example, if you were to stretch yourself to double your height, and then keep that height for a long enough time... maybe weeks or a month or so, then your body would adapt to the new height and you'd remain it until intentionally making the effort to alter yourself again. Not just height, but any distortion really. Like you could expand the size of your hand to make it huge and keep it like that long enough so that the size becomes permanent. Well, speaking of expanding size... you imagine the same should be true of your bodily features. If you could and cared to expand your bust, and maintain that shape for a period of time enough, then they would remain expanded. But then as you know you're already well-proportioned, enough to get stuck in a window like last night from your chest and your rear, so how much more you want to "enhance" your figure... then again, a little more here and there couldn't hurt right?

"How am I gonna fix this before dad gets home? Ehhh... maybe this is a chance to follow up with Kelly's guy as well?"

Trying to make heads or tails of the broken door parts, you expect you'll need to make a trip to a home improvement store to repair the damage you did. It also seems like a convenient reason to also look into locks and lockpicking? After all, it should be a very useful skill for any villain to have and you're not always going to be able to squeeze under every door you come across. If you're going to be going out and traveling such a distance though, then it'd be easier if you had Kelly to pick you up and drive you. In which case she could also make that introduction to the guy she knows, or at least give you his contact info. Not that you need her to come pick you up for any of this, you could just call and get everything by text, but it's a chance to spend time with your friend if you want to. Or even Chris, but then he's often busy up at the university.

Either way though, you're feeling better from that earlier stiffness at least where you can move about again. Maybe too sore to go on another caper tonight, but then you're so giddy after last night's success that you're very much eager to get out again and cause more trouble. And if you only ever waited till when you were at your best and fully recovered from anything and everything, then you'd never be put to the test while "on the job" of being a supervillain!

>Get what you need from Kelly, but otherwise undertake everything yourself. The less she knows anyway, the better.
>You would appreciate a car ride for some errands, if Chris is available. Maybe figure out what the buzz is about your high school after last night.

Also, I think it might be worth trying to add a bit of musculature to our frame even if it doesn't immediately increase our actual strength. Especially with appropriate protein intake and exercise, we should be able to massively accelerate the bulking process

As well, last night you succeeded in a villainous caper although it wasn't very impressive, but a victory nonetheless. Along with a double-double roll;

>>5921231
>>5921289

you've gained a better understanding of your powers, and with these experimenting and exercising efforts, how you might develop improve them. Broken down, one may imagine your superhuman nature as;

>Elasticity (0/5) - How stretchy your body is and how much you can distort yourself, as well as how well you return to form.
>Endurance (0/5) - How resilient your body is, both in terms of stretching amount/limit, and harm in general.
>Composition (0/5) - The nature of your elastic body's composition, either how fluid or rigid your physical form is.
>Control (0/5) - The range of motion and control you have over your own body and elasticity.
>???

As a result of your success, practice, and lucky roll, you can go ahead and assign a point to one of the categories thereby improving it. Or potentially expand to a new category you think would be appropriate/relevant and useful.

This is a separate matter from your current chain of events choice though >>5921792 so you can deliberate on it as long as you need to, and for everyone to have a chance to weigh in.

>>5921835
+1 Control

I think control is a good stat to start with since better use of powers effectively boosts how practically useful the other stats are

>>5921797
supporting this, even the suggestion underneath. QM already opened the doors with his update >>5921792 here. So we might as well test that theory by pulling and thinking our muscles and maintaining the distortion with a little extra to the assets. A villain gotta look imposing and alluring.

>Get what you need from Kelly, but otherwise undertake everything yourself. The less she knows anyway, the better.

As well as the various other exercises you try to see what your body is capable of, an obvious other effort would be your strength. Although you are superhumanly stretchy, flexile, and tough, you aren't any stronger than the average young woman. In fact probably less so since you've never actually worked out a day in your life, practically speaking. Anytime you ever tried you encountered the problem of your own body, whereby the attempt to lift anything heavy simply caused your limbs to stretch and thus be completely ineffective.

That was before though, when you were afraid of ever applying yourself or finding out what you were capable of. Now you think it would be a worthwhile and possible endeavor to reach at least a good measure of physical fitness all around. So that you can at least heft your own weight around, sprint and climb without running out of breath, and you can only wonder at how a little musculature could assist with your elasticity. But of course, like with your stretching efforts, this would be something to devote yourself to over a period of time. Several months of elastic and fitness training and you'll certainly be much more a formidable force!

But that, like your other stretch goals, doesn't impede you from doing things in the meantime. And the most pressing matter now is that registration business.

"That friend of a friend? Sure, I can get you his number. Better I could introduce you... but girl, forget that! Did you see what happened at Tyver Park?! Some punk broke in and spray painted all over the place!"

"Yeah it was pretty- I mean, REALLY?! That's so... crazy, I bet it was like some really cool guy, or girl."

"Our old dump of a high school? Hardly! It's like a joke, but they didn't catch the guy! They're still looking for him I think!"

Between stuffing your face with a late breakfast after all that physical activity, you can make a call to Kelly and see about her contact. In fact she's willing to get in touch with him to let him know what you want (roughly, as much as you choose to divulge to her), so you're not just calling blindly out of the blue. She's much more interested in though about some wild and crazy villainous caper that went down at your high school last night. It seems that's what she and Chris were texting you about earlier, and you can check on Bacefook to see the school page abuzz with activity. Why, it even made the news apparently!

Now that's what you like to hear, people talking about you and your efforts... and this was only the beginning! If you were giddy about your success before, now you're ecstatic about getting out there again tonight, and every other night to cause yet more trouble and make sure that Stretch Goals is the talk of the town! Before that though, you'd like to at least get this little personal problem out of the way before getting underway once more.

"-hold on lady, this ain't a drivers license... Renfrew Act, 25th amendment... you want me to fake you an ID for capes? What is this, some supers-convention thing? If you want to play dress up... I mean I'll take your money and make you something good, but I ain't faking the real deal. That's federal-something, not just a fake age card for booze."

"Oh well uhh... what if... maybe you could..."

You give it an hour after talking to Kelly so she can call ahead of you, her contact by the name of Marv. As you try to explain what you want from him without divulging too much though, while you're talking with him on the phone he's checking his computer and soon enough stumbles over the inevitable. Thankfully he doesn't automatically assume that you're a superhuman, rather that you're some supers fangirl who's into conventions and cosplay and such, wanting some authentic looking ID for her super-sona. Though he may provide you with something adequate for that, if you want proper forged documents and ID for what you're truly after, then you don't see a way of convincing him to help you without being honest about the situation.

Or, just paying him a ton of money, which unfortunately you don't have to spare. And being realistic, if you were to offer as much for him to look the other way, he's sure to make assumptions about you anyway.

I think this should be fine, but how inferior are we talking here? Bad enough that if our dad has seen the real deal before he'll be able to tell? Because I'm hoping to just flash the papers at him once and then be done with it.

Although you'd personally prefer the most authentic forgery you can get, for the peace of mind, you'd rather still not have someone else knowing the truth about you especially a stranger. What, you'd have to just hope he keeps quiet about your superhuman nature? Or that he would do so for a price? You're not opposed to doing work for someone or owing them a favor but what's to stop him from continuing to demand of you after? Maybe if you wanted to become a hero that would be one thing, but you wouldn't count on someone keeping quiet from the authorities once crimes and villainy are involved.

And while it is true that maybe you could find a way to get what you need without explicitly revealing yourself, you feel like anyone with a brain would be able to put two and two together. That you remain vague but insistent about your need and then soon enough there's a new superhuman villain on the scene with the same abilities? Unfortunately it doesn't seem you can have one outcome without the other.

"...yeah, it's for a convention! You know, I want it to seem like... legit, as much as you can make it! Whatever it costs..."

"Well I don't get the need for the paperwork as well, but if that's what you want... you'll have it around this time next week then."

Maybe it isn't perfectly what you wanted, but it's an immense relief to know you've got something to rely on when the time comes. Really this is all just for dad's sake, but then there's not really anyone else you care as much about so it's worth it to you. He may have his reasons for wanting you to register but you're not going to compromise your own life and opportunities by doing so. Plus you're probably doing him a favor anyway, since superhuman nature is known to be genetic and inherited so parents of superhumans fall under scrutiny as well. At least they do by the rumors you've heard.

In any case you can breathe easy, reclining back in the couch after that phone business with Marv. Now there's little to nothing stopping you from devoting your attention full-time to the old supervillainy. Which, speaking of, it's only past four now. Dad will be home in a couple hours, and then it's awhile still before nightfall. Plenty of time for whatever you may need.

>You're not fully recovered from last night, a few days off will do you good.

As eager as you are to get out again tonight for yet more villainy, you feel that you'd prefer to be at the top of your game before doing so. Maybe as you get more used to committing criminal capers on a regular basis, and gain a better understanding of your own abilities, you'd be fine to play villain while still recovering from a prior engagement. But the last thing you would want is to compromise your evil career in its infancy when you're still learning the ropes.

After all, despite the success at your high school it wasn't the cleanest caper. If things had gone different with that guard...

"Fwuah... I'll take the weekend off, but make up for it with a crime befitting a true supervillain! Muahaha!"

With a content sigh you recline back in the couch, still feeling sore from your physical exertions and more certain now that you made the wise choice. Watching the local news on TV though and keeping an ear out for anything to do with the trouble at your high school, you wonder what to do in the meantime. Just because you won't be physically going out there doesn't mean you villainous time and attention will go to waste! No, spend the meantime preparing so that when you're feeling good and ready again, you'll be able to strike out with double the strength and make the news prime-time rather than just occasional snippets here and there.

What to do then, what to do. Not just tonight but for the next few days...

We need to find a place to catch a big lick if we plan to become a proper d list with a costum and a squad of goons.

>Research what's going on in and around town, worthy of your attention so you can set your sights on a juicy target!

If you are going to take a break from villain-ing then you want it to be worth it. When you do get back out there, it should be something substantial that will make the news for everyone to know! And for that you'll need to look higher than just your old high school for starters.

So you can spend the next few days without exerting yourself much, at most just practicing with what you're already familiar with around the house to get better at it. In your free time though you start looking into what's going on about your city, Malton, and what would make for a juicy target for your machinations. You're not in New York or Los Angeles, but Malton is a decent sized city so there's always something going on. Not that you ever paid much attention since you don't have anyone to go do anything with, apart from Kelly and Chris but there isn't usually the time for all three of you since high school. So it's not too difficult to start searching and compiling an array of possible targets.

"Superbowl? More like Supervillainbowl!"

Well that would certainly get you the most attention, with a playoff game at the stadium. You're not sure what monetary value you could get out of that but it certainly would put you on TV, nationally even, if you pulled off some caper there! Even if it wasn't necessarily your big debut but simply more vandalism, Stretch Goals would become a household name overnight.

"Twenty-five thousand dollars?! Could I open my own Barstucks with that?"

Another event, associated with the first is a food festival going on downtown. Malton has a pretty famous culinary university so these things happen periodically through the year. This time though as paired with the hype of the sports event, there's a couple celebrity chefs and some competition with a sizeable cash grand prize. The money alone is appealing, but you imagine you even could kidnap a celebrity or something. Easier than trying to kidnap one of the pro-athletes.

"Oooh... fancy fancy, some Chinese thing? Or wait, what's the deal with Taiwan again?"

Unrelated to the sporting event, is a foreign theater performance that's scheduled to run for two months here. The artsy performance itself might be worth hijacking if you can, but the real interest to you is an exhibit of various "priceless" foreign artifacts in association with the performance. With most people's attention on the football, maybe you could smash and grab to your heart's content of historical relics? Not as nice as cash but plenty prestigious you figure and probably less risky.

"Well dad did promise me a car for my twenty-first birthday, but..."

The last happening of note is a temporary display of some famous old stock car at the racing museum. Similar to the foreign theater performance, you would expect this to be less guarded or at least frequented during the football playoff. Unlike the theater performance though, the object of value isn't something you could just grab and stuff in a bag to steal... it's an entire car. You can't imagine how you would even get away with it, not like you can just bring it back home to hide something of that size. But you don't suppose there's anything stopping you from stealing the car and taking it on a joyride about town to catch people's attention, before ditching the thing to escape probably.

So there's certainly not a shortage of possibilities! Of course you could just keep your head down and focus on something more manageable, less risky for you at least. But if you wanted the chance to really show off and prove yourself, draw everyone's attention then these would be the ways of doing that in an appropriately supervillainous way. Something to think about, come Monday when you're back at work and miserable during the daily grind at the cafe. Counting the days until you can call it quits from this dump for bigger and better prospects, befitting an evil genius such as yourself!

>You'll score an infamous touchdown at the playoffs!
>You'll serve up some evil at the food festival!
>You'll shock the audience with villainy on stage!
>You'll drive like you stole it from the racing museum!
>Actually, with everyone so occupied everywhere else this is the perfect chance to make your move on city hall!
>A nefarious write-in?

>>5923717
>You'll serve up some evil at the food festival!

Off the events robbing the food festival university seems like it would draw the least response.

>You'll serve up some evil at the food festival!

Of the bunch of things you learn about, the food festival seems to be the best idea. The cash prize is a pretty big motivator of course but in the rest of the way you expect the least significant response from the authorities, for whatever you intend to do. All the while it still has the potential to be a pretty high profile crime given the coverage of the event.

And best of all, you've been to a couple of these yourself before! It's been years but a couple times in middle school you volunteered to work the event so you're not going in blind. A pretty good start for planning your villainous caper, the question is what preparations if any do you want to make? The big televised event is scheduled for Friday but overall it lasts for the day before and after. Thus giving you a few days at least to plan and prepare for anything and anyway you might need. Unfortunately not all your available time since you still need to go to work but you'll try to manage as you can.

"Hoo hoooo boy... I'll give them a taste of something they'll never forget! My... my evil villainy... not anything else."

Considering after all, this is going to be your first major crime. With both a great potential reward but also great potential risk. With the presence of actual police, and possibly even a hero if you cause enough trouble?

>You probably haven't the time to get your ideal supervillain outfit, but you can at least get something better than plain clothes (unless you prefer them) and all the regular equipment you may need.
>The biggest help you think, would be other people. It's short notice but what lackey might you be able to recruit?
>Information is the most valuable asset to have. Go in person to the event preparation and probably the active day before as well, to take note of the location and setup... and possible escape routes.
>You cannot be a supervillain without your crimes being super! Obtain what you need to make sure this caper stands out in people's minds!
