The Spirit Who Yearns for Home

Well, another day, another dollar spent on booze. Since the boss
has gone off somewhere without notice, it's been pretty slim in the work
department. Haven't had a job in weeks...I really should start cutting back. A
Malta group here, maybe some Circle of Thorns. Nothing like it was when he was
around. *sigh* I sip my drink, looking down at the bar, bored out of my skull.
I was about a thought away from leaving and registering for a cage match with
Cornelius when this spooky-looking woman comes drifting in. Great, two ghosts
in just as many weeks. What am I, a spirit magnet? *sigh*




Kahlan D'Rane: Hello.



Lady Abigail: Hi.



Kahlan D'Rane: Have a seat.



Kahlan D'Rane: So, what brings you to Paragon City?



Lady Abigail: Well, I’m trying to find a murderer for one, but
I haven't found him just yet.



Kahlan D'Rane: Oh, do tell.

[Encounters: Lady Abigail continued]

Lady Abigaill: The only time I have encountered
any of them was on the battlefield. I owe Ghost Widow one. I can't stand her
soul storm.



Kahlan D'Rane: Hehe. Yeah, that attack hurts for sure.



Lady Abigail: Other than that, the only leads I had were just
contacts here in Paragon, and they can only help so much before you have to go
at it alone.



Kahlan D'Rane: Well, getting info from the mystics here is
like pulling teeth




Lady Abigail: Very much so, yes. You are right about that, but I
really do love interrogating their Circle of Thorn mages...that's always fun.



Kahlan D'Rane: Not unless they explode on you. That gets
messy.



Lady Abigail: True, but you gotta get dirty sometimes, no?




Kahlan D'Rane: True, true. It could be worse. Could be
interrogating Vahzilok. Mmm, zombie puke.




Lady Abigail: That's actually not so bad. Some of their barf
actually gets rid of old stains.



Kahlan D'Rane: Hehehe. Well, it sure does a number on my
leather.



Lady Abigail: Oh, yes. Leather is bad when puked on.



Kahlan D'Rane: Yeah, especially red leather.




Lady Abigail: Although, I will add that the fun part was
reawakening here in Dark Astoria.



Kahlan D'Rane: Dark...Astoria? Never been there. I stay mostly
on the Isles other than fighting in the Warzone or Sirens Call. I'm pretty much
an island gal, haha. Not like they'd let me in the city anyway.




Lady Abigail: Well, Dark Astoria is a zombie-infested area which
houses a very huge cemetery named Moth Cemetery. I call that my second home.



Kahlan D'Rane: Ooh, zombies. I met a Zombie Mastermind once,
and his zombies puked on my shoe.



Lady Abigail: Oh, that's always a treat.



Kahlan D'Rane: The lich wasn't so bad, but the minions were
real stupid.

[Encounters: Lady Abigail continued]

Lady Abigail: I see. Well, my energy blasts are magically
projected with me speaking incantations in my mind, but my mutant powers allow
me to manipulate energy through my fists.



Kahlan D'Rane: Aah. My inborn talent is radiation emission, or
“green spirit fire” as it's known on my home world. The Mord Sith
training is what you would call kinetics—taking from others to use for
myself.



Lady Abigail: I see, and where is this homeworld?



Kahlan D'Rane: It's an alternate dimension, that's all I know.
It has no real name, I don’t think. If it does, I wasn't privy to it.
It's a realm of magic. Even mutation is considered magic.



Lady Abigail: Well, at least you aren't persecuted as much
there as where I'm from. Or are you?



Kahlan D'Rane: Where I'm from, we do the persecuting, but not
because of magic. Well, maybe…It depends on the whims of Lord Rahl.
We're mainly used to apprehend and "interrogate" magical threats by
capturing their magic and using it against them in a painful way.



Lady Abigail: I see. We get persecuted of being witches if
women knew magic.




Kahlan D'Rane: Oh, there's places in my home world that does that
to sorceresses.




Lady Abigail: We come from similar places then.




Kahlan D'Rane: One wonderful faction called Blood of The Fold says
that magic is the bane of existence. It's the tool of the keeper, blah blah
blah. They are a bunch of ignorant fools.



Lady Abigail: Sounds like the Mages of Shadowfang Isle. Those
men persecute everything...bunch of hypocrites, I say.



Kahlan D'Rane: Oh yes, definitely, but it takes all kinds to
make the world go round.



Lady Abigail: Sadly, that is true enough anywhere that your
feet touch the ground.



Kahlan D'Rane: Yup, that's for sure.




Lady Abigail: I love how they continue to persecute only women and
not men. That'll definitely change once I find my way back home.




Kahlan D'Rane: Hehe. I don’t think I’ll ever find my
way back to mine.




Lady Abigail: As much as I don't want to leave Paragon, I just
can't leave my responsibilities back home.

This is fun dearest, isn’t it? Let us do away with the silliness of Little Miss
Hero and get to the meat of the matter

Villain Horrorscopes

Brute
– My dear, you are such a cute little powerhouse. Just keep smashing; sleep,
and breathing, is for when the enemies lie beneath your boots. You should be
fine. Endurance is for the weak.



Mastermind
– Do you know where your henchmen are right now? I hear whispers about a coup.
By the way, have you heard of Right Guard?


Corrupter
– There’s a rumor circulating around Arachnos about you and a Brute or two. If
this is a serious arrangement, you may wish to tell the other Brutes you’ve
been stringing along. I hear they have a nasty temper.

Dominator
– Is that a new aura or are your emotions giving your intentions away? Yet
another tidbit that can be used against you, my sweet.

Stalker
– Dearest, you need to stop relying on hide so much. Your zipper has been down
all week.

Heroes…

Controller
– No my love, a power that immobilizes is not the perfect cure for your
relationship problems



Defender
– I’ve heard that some Defenders use a bow and arrow. So, my dear, what’s the
trick supposed to be? Is that it? Look into the power pools. There’s one for
healing. Then you’ll be a real Defender. Kinda..



Scrapper
– Does your costume tear when those spines shoot out or is that considered a
“look?” Maybe you need a trenchcoat or a kilt. Something. I’ve known Brutes
that aren’t as…free as you.



Blaster
– With all the jokes about Brutes not being particularly bright, at least they
do more than explode in one brilliant, nova-like blast and then die. Do you
have secondary powers?



Tanker
– The other heroes whisper about you behind your back.



Peacebringer
– No dear, the tentacles aren’t cute. Stop that.



Warshade
– There are rumors about so called “dark heroes.” There’s no such thing. You
aren’t that dark. More’s the pity.

~Love and Kisses

~Scorn

Dear
Athy,

Dear Athy,




I met a really nice guy the other day, and we decided to form a super group
together. Things were going great for a while, but lately, all he's wanted to
do is go out and hunt down villains, night after night after night. He never
wants to sit with me in the base and rearrange the wall hangings in just that
perfect way anymore.


What can I do to save our relationship, before my Defender turns into a Brute?


- Missing the Homelife

Dear Miss,




Have you and he dated or is this mainly a crime-fighting relationship? I
suggest a conversation and not one of those “We need to talk” moments. Those
are usually where one person doesn’t get much chance to talk. Perhaps over
dinner you could ask him what kind of relationship he thinks you two have.
Allow the conversation to flow wherever from there, each taking turns talking
and listening.


One of you may have different expectations than the other. The longer either of
you continues under such an assumption, the worse it’ll be in the end.




~Athy

Send
Athy your questions!

Advice From the X

Greetings boys, girls, and beings of indeterminate gender! It's
LiquidX again, and now that I've got that nasty paternity suit out of the way,
I'm available to give you all some more of that advice you so desperately seek.
So, without further ado, it's time for some Advice from the X!

"Dear LiquidX ,

I have been an active hero for almost fifteen months now. However, it seems as
though I am missing something by not trying out the dark side. I've thought
about being a Ninja Mastermind but I am unsure about what Paragon City would
think. Any thoughts?


Yours truly, Hotprowl"

The Rumor Mill

By
Lady_Athyna

Helpful forumite Mindripper regales us with information pried from
the minds of the devs in
this thread. To Mindripper, your name fits, sir. On to the details!

Mr. Ripper asked our beloved Positron about converting the Shadow
Shard to a Co-op zone and revamping it. This rumor was then squished. Reports
state that the Shard is simply too big and the new Rikti War Zone is what they
want for a co-op zone at this time. This leads to questions about if the Shard
will ever get a revamp.

Next up was a question from Mindripper about opening up the co-op
missions in Pocket-D on a constantly available basis. Yet another rumor died
under Posi’s boot here, but there’s room for more rumors. Mr. Ripper asked if
the Halloween event was on for this year. Oh yes is the answer. Positron lives
up to the Cryptic name by not revealing much more than that about the new
stuff.

Then, Mindripper asked about a favorite villain group, the 5th
Column. That question garnered a big, fat YES! They shall return! Mr. Ripper
reports he had the impression the 5th would return in Issue 11. That’s just an
impression--no confirmation. Just more grist for the Mill.

So far, the only details about Issue 11 that were gathered are new
story lines and stuff for 50s. Another person asked about new powersets in the
thread linked above. Melee gets the next bit of love there. Posi said that they
will be Dual Blades and Willpower, and the new powersets will be for all four
of the Melee ATs in whatever combo makes sense for them. Both Castle and Back
Alley Brawler have posted numerous little details— too numerous to list each
post separately. Luckily, the
Dev Digest tracks those posts.

The tidbits about the new powersets were from a second fan who
started asking Positron questions, including whether or not a level increase
was in the future. Nope, sorry heroes and villains, that rumor was shot and
stabbed. Let’s see if it dies this time.

Mindripper, not being put off, asked about rewards for 50s like
extra enhancements slots. This has been discussed according to Posi, but the
tech programming pushes it way off. Too much work for now. The possibility
exists for sometime in the future, though, so that’s a “maybe” rumor.

Next up: the SG roster limit. If you’ve been following the rumors,
you know the devs have previously mentioned changing it to seventy-five global
accounts, which means that all of your alts would be given the option of
joining the same SG without taking up a slot. Many people have been very
interested in such a feature, and the devs thought they had it working two
issues ago. However, it seems that everything they’ve tried thus far has
massively corrupted the data for SG/VG’s throughout the game. Those poor, poor
QA folks.

Super Secret Dinner

By
LadyK

Hello again, it is so good to be back here at my desk in the City
Scoop offices. I was wandering around the other day and ducked my head into
Overbrook, just to see how the renewal and redevelopment was going. I have to
say that over the last six or so months, "Faultline" is hardly recognizable. It
really looks like just about any other city zone. Or rather it would, if it
still didn't have the check points. Heading, left, out of the "New Overbrook"
district, I wandered down a sweet little cobble stone-lined plaza with quaint
little shops and restaurants. One in particular caught my eye, a cozy
bistro/sidewalk cafe called Bianco's. Bianco's is owned by Sicilly Bianco, wife
of "Little Tony" Bianco. Little Tony and his brother Bruno are two-thirds of
Paragon Pizza Pie along with "Big Tony" Mottirelli, Sicilly's brother.

Bianco's features the same kitchen philosophies as Paragon Pizza
Pie, fresh ingredients, good atmosphere, and plenty of food. Some of the decor
is "Italian kitsch," but the checkered tablecloths add a little something to
the homey flair of the restaurant. Old family photos, of the Bianco and
Mottirelli families, line the walls as well as new photos of friends and good
customers. The menu is a lovely mix of regional Italian cooking, with fresh
sauces, unique roasted dishes, and lots of pasta. The lasagna is heavenly, and
comes in about four different varieties: traditional, five cheese, Alfredo
Florentine, all meat and a sauce less version that has to be tried to be
believed. Other favorites are represented on the menu as well: Marsalas,
Parmigiana, Picatas, and Stressas in chicken, veal and pork varieties.

When I go to review a restaurant, I generally have at least four
other people with me, we all order different items and share. However, I was
alone this day and decided to have a combination. I was presented with a roast
platter piled high with Bianco's fresh traditional lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo
with grilled rosemary chicken, and meatballs Puttanesca I half-heartedly joked
with my waiter, Ralph, that I was never going to be able to finish the dish. He
just smiled and said that no paying customer ever had. Big Tony did once, and a
Lost Rector and a Champion Slicer once had an eating contest when both came in
to rob the place.

The next day, I brought the leftovers into the City Scoop offices.
I think Lemur Lad is still getting tomato sauce out of his fur. Marcian Tobay
stated that the Puttanesca was the best since the Baudelaires came over for
dinner. Unfortunatelym Sicilly is reticent to part with the family recipes,
however, I have come up with my own versions that I will share with you.

Bianco's accepts cash and major credit cards. They are also
willing to trade food for services, as the entrance is often clogged by
Clockworks and Lost.

Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Rosemary Chicken Please don't let
this recipe daunt you. It is very easy.

Rogue Isle Repast

By
LadyK

Greetings villains and vigilantes, heroes and other pains in the
neck. After a month of The City of Heroes "hospitality", the only thing I can
say is...Freedom, oh, sweet freedom! The very first thing I did was head over
to my new favorite broker, "Willy the Brit." With a ticket to Founders Falls in
hand, I boarded the mini-sub and headed out to make a withdrawal and help with
the "urban redevelopment" project. A scant three hours later, I was sitting in
my favorite location of Larry's Tiki Lounge with ALL of my peeps.

Larry's Tiki Lounge is famous for gambling and being overrun with
Snakes. It is also famous for a unique blend of Gulf Coast cooking married with
southern Pacific Rim flair. When I say Gulf Coast, I mean all coasts associated
with the Gulf of Mexico—recipes and ingredients from Corpus Christi to New
Orleans, Mobile to Miami, Nassau to Havana and Cancun to Tampico. Yes, that's a
glorious blend of Tex-Mex, Soul Food, Southern BBQ, Cuban and East Coast
Mexican seafood. Larry's dad is Black-American, by way of Haiti and Samoan
while his mom was second generation Cuban-Mexican. This is reflected in one of
Larry's signature lunch platters: Teriyaki pulled pork with collard greens,
black beans and poi. If you don't know what poi is, it's a traditional Pacific
Rim dish made by mashing up taro root into a thick paste that looks like
gray-purple wallpaper paste (and some people say that it tastes like wallpaper
paste). I really wouldn't know. I mean, I know about five ways to cook a rat,
but I've never been so desperate as to eat wallpaper paste.

The main reason I like Mercy Island’s Larry's is because that's
where Mary is. Mary is this cute little redhead, whose company I greatly
enjoy—if you know what I mean. It's also the original location. Larry, like the
rest of us Rogue Islanders, was dumped off in Mercy without any, mercy that is.
Several years and a few shady deals later, Larry had the capitol to start up a
little beating house/restaurant. He started by serving the food that he grew up
with, like the above-mentioned pulled pork sandwich. Larry soon got tired of
the same old, same old and started experimenting with flavors and other ideas
pitched by his newly hired chef. This started the trend at Larry's to mix meat
and mixed drinks. Most of the higher end dishes are made from the same mixtures
as the fun and fruity drinks of the tropical climes. Mai Tai mahi mahi,
Margarita chicken and Tequila Sunrise shrimp. The drink theme doesn't stop
there. Dessert staples like ice cream and cheesecake get the same treatment,
like Piña Colada Cheesecake and chocolate Mudslide sundaes.

I really didn't pay that much attention to what the males with me
were eating. I mean, I told them all to order what ever they wanted. After all,
we were celebrating my freedom. I was also paying loads of attention to sweet
Mrry. One of the pluses of eating at Larry's is the prices. Most of Larry's
revenue comes from booze and gambling, so he's not trying to make money off of
the food. But don't let this put you off. The quality is high. Larry's accepts
cash and credit.

In-Game Chat

By
Burning_Brawler

One of the best places to roleplay is in the game itself. Playing
“as your character” can add a whole new level of entertainment for
you. While it’s not for everyone, or every character in some cases, this
article should help give you something to work with.

When you’re roleplaying in-game, you are basically
responding to things as your character would. This can be anything from your
conversations to the things that happen to your character throughout their
mission. One thing to be careful of, or even avoid if you don’t have
quick enough typing skills for it, is characters with odd ways of speaking.
This includes accents or a tendency to use words that you’ve been
grabbing off Thesaurus.com so your character sounds smarter. If speaking
in-character is severely slowing down things for you or your friends, try to go
halfway on some things or try a different character. Not everything that works
well in written stories or forum-based roleplay threads can be typed quick and
well enough in-game. Don’t let the team faceplant because of your wordy
warnings of the six bosses around the corner.

Some people base characters off of others they know. This makes it
easier for them to respond truer to who they’re playing. You can do
something similar to this with any character. Try thinking of a friend or
family member, or even character from a show or movie you used to watch, whom
closely resembles the one you’re playing.

There are some characters who won’t fit with any mold at
all, and these are the ones whose personality you need to keep in mind. If
they’re typically angry, or normally apathetic, respond as such. Another
way to help make sure you keep in-character is as you type, hear the
character’s voice inside your head. If it’s something they
wouldn’t normally say, it may be out of character for them. Don’t
worry if the other voices in your head try to pick on your character.
They’re just jealous.

When performing an action, such as handing an old lady back her
purse or stealing someone's cookies, one has two options. Hitting the
semi-colon button while in-game activates a different sort of chat type that
displays similar to this: If I type "Eats the evidence." it'll show
up as Burning Brawlers eats the evidence. This has a specific range to who can
hear it however. If you wish to let your entire team know what you did, a set
of asterisks is an accepted means of doing so. For example: *Takes all the
cookies and runs for the hills.*

For anything that can’t be said to make sense in-character,
or if you really need to tell your teammates something and don’t have
time for a RP response, speak out-of-character. The way you let your teammates
know the difference between when you are talking and when the character is
talking requires a simple set of parentheses: (( )). For example, “((Be
right back. The baby woke up))” or “((Need a drink. One
sec)).”

Lastly, try to be aware of others. I say this meaning not everyone
is comfortable with roleplayers. If your team has difficulty understanding you
when you’re in-character, then don’t be. Also, try to avoid
in-character comments in broadcast. This is partly to avoid any confusion for
people, but also to avoid soliciting those looking for some cheap jokes at your
expense. If you want the most out of some RP time, find others who enjoy it as
well.

That’s all for this week. See you next time, and if you have
any questions, send me a PM.

Artist Interview

Drunk Fu

By
Dirtwolf

Hello Toxic Shia! Or Drunk Fu…err...umm…Hey Drunkic Shiafu! Where'd
you get your name here and on DA?

Well, I was drunk I think at some point previous to this in the
distant past, and there might have been a minor altercation involved whilst I
was in that state. So I rather went with it for the respect and professionalism
of the word. As for Toxic Shia on the forums, it’s just named after the main
character I annoy people with.

What are your current goals in life?

I think it'd be just awesome to have more money than I'd know what
to do with and my own island, which would be entirely populated by attractive
women that ran my private brewery. Ooh, and perhaps Scarfgirl serving me drinks
while she fans me pleasantly. Realistically, maybe a job with air-conditioning
and drawing. I'd love to get a steady paycheck out of anything artistic

What’s been the most inspirational thing to you so far? In art? In
general?

I've found a lot of artists out there to be very inspiring. I've
always adored Yoshitako Amano's style and paintings, Adam Warren's fantastic
story lines and art, Fred Perry's hilarious stories, unique style and amazing
productivity and talent. I find the local community just as inspiring as well:
Scarfgirl's adorable style and linework is fantastic (though I wish she'd draw
a lot more), Sayterra's style and understanding of form have amazed me,
Suichiro's fetishes and drawings amused me, and those are just the "S" names.
There's such a great community on CoH and Deviantart that it’s hard not to feel
inspired (or woefully intimidated) just flipping around that place. Graver's
another fantastic artist. A lot of his paintings have been featured in previous
City Scoop editions.

What are your other hobbies?

I do like gaming...and cigars…and comic books…and drinking, though
I've been trying to cut down...and cooking…and the word
antidisestablishmentarianism. It reminds me of the Royal Jester. Er. Are words
that remind you of other people hobbies? Hm. Maybe teasing people...Ah wait,
that should perhaps go under guilty pleasures.

]Artist Interview: Dark Fu continued]

What’s the craziest art project you've ever gotten involved with?

You see, this one time I was in a bar with a couple of artist
friends, and we started this comic on a piece of paper where one of us would
draw one panel, the next guy the other. For some reason, it ended up with the
last panel being a naked Asian guy wearing an elephant head over his hip
section. I've drawn on napkins and paper plates as well

If you had to choose only one type of art supply to use for the
rest of your life, be it paint, crayola crayons--anything, what would it be?

I think maybe a regular pencil. Or maybe a magical one. One of
those James Bond pens that shoot lasers might be fun. You could draw on cement
walls! Those would last forever.

Is there anywhere you want to travel? Why?

I'm really kind of happy in So'Cal at the moment, aside from the
sweltering heat. But it might be neat to go visit my friend it Atlanta again.
Atlanta has awesome public transportation, although their Malta smelled oddly
like a porn shop. Also, it may be cool to go visit St. James in Ireland one
day, and see the Guinness brewing place.

How did you discover your talent?

Oh, I've been drawing ever since I was a short childling, so it's
something I've always been working on.

Have you ever given your parents/family member a piece of artwork
as a gift? What was it?

All the time. It's a great cop-out gift at Christmas. I did [a
painting of roses] for my grandma. (Grandparents always seem to appreciate kind
of neutral boring paintings) I did a picture of a guinea pig for my dad one
day.

Protea has left the Market Report [fortunately not the game] and
I'm the "temp".

There are some interesting trends from last week, and from the
last time I did this [three months ago]. A lot of items broke the 10,000
barrier on the strength of a single 50,000 inf sale in the "last 5".

Compared to two months ago, heroside- common items and the "big
ticket" items have gone down, while it seems that the less trendy rares are
slowly gaining some significant value. The Quick Katie fix has eliminated, it
seems, the situation where midrange salvage was much more expensive than
high-range stuff.

Villainside, prices are up somewhat on the high-end items from two
months ago. I suspect that the ability to team with heroes in the Rikti War
Zone has fixed some of the recipe shortage; perhaps it has just made richer
villains.

I'd like to thank Protea for a long run and a good one, and I'd
like to thank them for providing the tools that I used to generate the market
data this week.

DISCLAIMER:

The "+0%" in everything indicates that I didn't have Protea's data from the
previous week. Also, time of day makes a HUGE difference, and I took my data at
a different time.

Soul Train by Sixy

We are pleased to announce the Player Event Resource Committee
(PERC) and the Mr./Ms. Paragon City and Mr./Ms. Rogue Isles Contest!

PERC is an exciting new player-based committee dedicated to
helping plan, support, and run server and global-wide games, contests, and
events. Their goal is to help enhance the CoX experience by helping to promote
new content, to revisit some of the old content, and to assist new players
through different educational events like exploration badge and history tours.

This
committee is made up of the following people:



Champion - Nether

Freedom - Rose, Bonker, OSHA

Guardian-Aliana

Infinity - OSHA, Destiny, Gata, Reddy

Justice - Ice Knight, Glacial

Liberty - American Valor, Steele Magnolia

Pinnacle - Radionuclide

Protector-Wolfen, Sooner

Triumph - Shard_Warrior, Raven Witch

Victory - Dirtball

Virtue - Warcabbit

The Mr./Ms. Paragon City and Mr./Ms. Rogue Isles Contest promises
to be a Costume Contest like no other. There will be individual server contests
on each server starting on the last two weekends in September and continuing
through to the middle of October. Semi-finalists from each server will each
receive an invitation to the finals and prizes like exclusive Gold Titles
lasting three months and CoX swag! The Finals will be held on October 19th on
the test server (if test server is in beta testing, the semi-finalists will
each receive a beta invite), with the top four costumes walking away with six
month Gold Titles and even more exclusive CoX swag. There will be some live
broadcasts by various in-game radio stations and perhaps even a live telecast!

The event kicks off on September 22nd, at 8pm EST on the Freedom,
Pinnacle and Infinity servers, in Pocket D. The event continues on September
29th at 8pm EST in Pocket D on the Justice, Champion and Liberty servers. On
October 6th, the contest picks up again at 8pm EST in Pocket D on the Triumph,
Guardian, and Virtue servers. The event ends on the Victory and Protector
servers on October 13th at 8pm EST in Pocket D.

All contestants will need to sign up ahead of time because there
will be a limit of 100 participants allowed per server. Entries are also
limited to one per global, as the forty-four semi-finalists will need to meet
up on the test server. Check the events section of the forums for sign up
information.

This promises to be an event like no other, and merely the first
in what we hope to be many more great events to come. We here at the Scoop plan
to keep an eye on the new PERC committee as many great events are rumored to be
in the works.
