Carli looked up from where she was patching up a tank with severe burns from the Hydra. She smiled despite her sadness. "Mrrah'chkkt [Cough], Its good to see you. We'll talk more after this crisis. We need someone to do triage. No other medical personnel have arrived yet. Meet my partner Jen Morse from Paragon City FD Search and Rescue.

Jen looked up a moment and nodded, "Nice to meet you. Unlike Carli there I can't wrap my tongue around your name without concentrating. Are you a doctor?"

Carli suppressed a grin. "Not really Jen but thats a topic for a bit later. Come on we've got lives to save."

OOC: This is taking place in another part of the city involving 2 of my characters from different servers. I'll find someone to join the Kraken/Hydra hunt eventually.

Eastgate was a riot. Even more than most of the time. Jen Morse watched as mortally wounded heroes were brought in. None of the Medivacs were working. Jen ran back and forth trying to do triage as best she could. "Damnit wheres Carli when you need her." She griped to a young blaster.

"Who?" The girl replied coughing up blood.

"No one try not to talk." Jen said placing a bandage on her.

"But I am powerful. I got beat up by a weakling Gardvord." She said.

Jen nodded, "Things are out of control." She said moving on and bumping right into her partner. "Damn about time you showed up. Is it bad out there?"

"Worse than you think. Even the Carnival is powerless. Margo is dead." the woman responded looking stunned.

Jen looked up. "Carli snap out of it! A lot of people are dead and we're doctors. To Quote the immortal Henry Blake, "Rule 1 is people are going to die. Rule 2 is doctors can't change rule 1. Now we've got work to do. The medivacs are out. Do you have any of your powers left?"

Carli reacted as if she'd been slapped. "You're right Jen. No I don't have any powers left. Not even my inherant healing powers. How come you're still functioning?"

"Because I'm not a hero." Jen said. "I'm relying on my skills."

Carli nodded. "Lets get started." SHe muttered ignoring a tear streaking down her cheek. The loss of her protegee had hit her hard. "Cry later Dr Higgins." She muttered. The 2 women were paired up with any other medical personnel both heroes and civilians. 2 hours later they had barely made a dent in the wounded when a call came over the PA speakers that Lt Wincott had managed to scrounge up.

"Attention any medical personnel with triage and combat training you are needed in Perez Park on the double."

A high level hero approached them. "We've got Eastgate under control. Crash Cart can take care of this. You two are needed in steel canyon. We've got a truck to transport you to the yellow line. Or whats left of it. Go time is of the essence."

The two women ran to the truck and joined several other exhausted heroes and medics. 15 minutes later they were in perez park in what looked like a combination slaughterhouse and bombsite. They saw what looked to be a makeshift hospital set up and ran over. "OK how can we help?" Jen asked the harried hero working the area. "We're both licensed MD's and I'm a certified SAR lt."

OOC: I thought we may need some medical assistance.

She paused. "I ramble. What I believe I can provide is a maturation chamber that is more reliable thanthe Arachnos versions...and one which will reduce the incubation period by a factor of four, in conjunction with the growth hormone. I'll need three days and considerable medical input. Can you give me both?"

[/ QUOTE ]

"I can give you both. This is my cell phone number right here. I would accompany you, but y'see Arachnos seems to take a disliking to people not under its thumb venturing onto its territory and if I'm dead its not going to help..." She paused unsure about talking about sensitive medical issues in here. She continued a minute later. "Please call about anything and meet me here if you need input on something. Thank you." She said handing over a vacuum packed Salmon Fillet. "Its fresh. A relative of one of our performers sends them to her. I was going to grill it later since thats about the only thing I can do without blowing something up but you may get more enjoyment out of it. I appreciate your help."

[ QUOTE ]
My name is Mrrrah'chkt Hssihn...and I would like to know just what sort of Isles technology interests you." Her speech held none of the common oddities associated with catgirls, none of the broken syntax, the confusion over personal pronouns. The catlike face was mobile and alert. "I might be able to be of some assistance...if the price is right."

[/ QUOTE ]

Carli reached into the pocket of her vest. The secret pocket held her pay from the hospital minus what she gave to Lili to use for the Carnival and to Penny to repair her infrequent forays into the kitchen. "I need a maturation chamber and an independent power supply, as well as some human growth hormone. " She said quietly. "The answer to your next question is...Its private, but its not malicious." She sipped her coffee feeling the surge of the chocolate and caffeine course through her. Can you be of assistance with any of that and how much do you want for it. I'm willing to pay real money, not influence of in your case infamy. Cold...hard....cash." She said flipping a solid platinum nugget on the counter.

Carli Higgins stared out at the dancers and Patrons in the club. She hadn't been in here in quite some time and she had forgotten how noisy it got. The rest of the Carnival came here often, but Carli was a loner. She laughed softly at thought of what Penny would say when she found out her sister had come in here. She walked over to the bar and ordered a 5 shot iced Mocha and stared across the dance floor. She was burning herself out, sleeping only 3 hours a day between a full day at the hospital, coming home to tend to the troupes wounds if any and then spending all night trying to come up with a way to save a fellow Carnie's child. She closed her eyes letting the energy of the bar flow around her. "If only I had access to some Isles Technology." She said to herself forgetting that there were people all around her.

I'd beat the hero to within an inch of his life, and then let him go and if he died on the way back to his side, then it was his own fault.

I agree. I am not a huge fan of PVP but I love RP. I'm one of those freaks whose guilty of making a story for a character then building the character around that story instead of the other way around.

Julie

I am sure I can make someone on Protector. What type of Roleplay SG are you thinking about. My global handle is @julie and I mostly play on Triumph and infinity right now but I'm up for trying out another server.

It was me. If you read my latest post on SuperVillain101 I'm giving myself a way out. Feel free to bar me Blarg. I am friends with Dollhouse and I feel bad about doing this to her. I hope that with me gone she'll think about coming back. Nell is an awesome character. I'll look forward to continue reading the posts.

Brightspot reached out and waved with her tail. She stretched out full length and splayed her claws. She nuzzled the still form of the human female laying on the ground. She felt a strange concern for this still form. "Mrrowrrr?" She said pawing the girls head. The girl stirred and at the sight of the gigantic Feline screamed and backed away.

"Don't eat me! I didn't mean to intrude on your home!" She said not seeing the others. My names Lili and I go to this school for...well for people who live here who have strange powers. I think its for villains but I'm not a villain. I just want to live in peace and please don't eat me!" She said.

Brightspot was intrigued by the babbling. Sure the morsel looked young and tender but she was also helpless and reminded Brightspot of her kittens back home. "Calm yoursselff Kitten." She said in an accented voice. "I'm Brightspot to Senssre and I am not going to eat you."

Lili looked relieved. "Who are your friends?" She asked. "Do you play together or are you their cat?"

Brightspots tail looped. This kitten was a good source of amusement. She inclined her tail to each of her companions. "This is Auruk, Spyne, Morning Veil is the girl behind you, and I'm not sure who the newcomers are. I was kind of indisposed when they arrived." She said. "Its not safe here for young Kittens. I'd suggest going back outside."

The girl sniffed, "I took on these stupid snakes to prove myself to my Ring Mistress that I was ready. She sent me to this stupid school until I could prove that I knew what I was doing. I don't need to prove anything. If Casey could go do stuff then I should be able to as well. But she had to go get caught and now I'm without a friend. I want to become a harlequin too." She turned and did a bow to each of them. "You'll hear from me when I prove that I can be just as good a carnie as the next person"

With that outburst she left. Brightspot watched her go and then smelled more snakes. "I will never underrrrstand humans." She said softly. "Go on continue without me. I am going to follow that kitten and see wherrrrre she goes.

OOC: You'll see Lili on Villainy101 soon. Right now I'm too sleepy.

OOC: the girl is sort of an introduction to another minor character that I'm planning. You'll find out more about her if we survive this encounter. If not then she dies.

"Might want to let me have a look," she hissed as she sprinted to catch up. "I'm invisible and quiet. You're...not."

Brightspot was mildly amused by this and keeping to the shadows followed along silently. Snakes...snakes were an annoyance that had shown up a few years ago. Her first encounter with them had been her first year as Clan Matriarch after disposing of that male Rushlight who wanted to make peace with their former Prey. Thinking about it now that may have been the better thing to do rather than be hunted, and called Vermin by the monkeys inhabiting this place now. She sensed a presence and her tail went rigid and she crouched. She knew the others had seen it too. Snakes....lots of them all milling around the body of something or other. "Lots of them.." She muttered. Mourning Veil didn't seem worried and neither did the others. "Well lets see what those Reptiles killed this time." She muttered Leaping toward the Viper with a vicious glare in her eyes. She landed on his back and grabbed the back of the things head with her claws and used her weight to force it to the ground. The viper went down without a sound but the other snakes saw her and spat a horrible venom at her. She could feel it burning into her fur and she knew she was in trouble. She vaguely saw the body of a brightly dressed female child on the ground before she was buried in snakes all wanting to tear her limb from limb. "A little asssistance would be appreciated." She yowled.

Well I call the name Pyrestrike. :P It's mine.. I called it!!

[/ QUOTE ]

OK fine I call the name Carliquin.

OOC: Yay more people!

Brightspot watched as the mysterious figure Lotus disappeared. She felt kind of sorry to see her disappear and vowed to track her down later. She got slowly up lowing her hackles and looked with feline contempt at her "Companion". "Come lets Hunt so you can have your blood and I can get some food for my kittensss." She said.. She got up and padded quickly toward the nearest snake den. Spyne followed along and then immediately attacked another Lizard creature who was heading toward them. She watched as he was pinned to the wall and then crouched down and listened as they talked. She waited for the right time then padded up sniffing him suspiciously. "You are..not from the islands or the mainland are you?" She said heavily accented voice. She held her tail out in greeting. "I call myself Brightspot. You are?" She looked at Spyne and tried to smile but it didn't really fit on her feline face. "I know who you are. I want to know who this Reptile is and whether or not he is a Hunter or Prey."

I'm not missing out this time! I'll be checking this webpage every hour on the hour. *Grins* I've got my character already planned.

Without warning, the horrid creature grew spines and used his telekinesis to send both 'women' flying foward. With a spike clutched in each hand, the half-insane and literally bloodthirsty creature said, "Now... are you prey? Or are you allies?" He would have revenge. He would have blood. And he would have it now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Brightspot was hurled forward and landed in an undignified heap on top of Lotusd She got up with a snarl her ears flat on her head and bared her teeth. "I am not prey and I will not be treated like a tree dweller." She hissed angrily. She glanced with a little feline concern at Lotus. "Kitten are you alright?" She asked pointedly ignoring Spyne until he either attacked or signalled that he was willing to be an ally in her vendetta against Arachnos and the rest of the infestation on her island.

OOC: Blarg feel free to add @Julie to your Global friends. I'm always up for Roleplay. Dollhouse is already on my friends list.

But what was this? Two figures were walking towards a Snake Hole. New prey? Or are they allies? He would soon find out. Spyne, the Experiment #7357, labled "Failure" by his creators and captors, labled "Dead" by those in Paragon City was all but that. He would havenge. He would have blood. And he would have it now.

"I am...I was..." The wet, pain-infused whisper trails off. The hooded head ***** to one side. After a long pause she says softly, "My name...my name was Alison."

Her weapon, held unwavering, drops to waist level. She is poised as if on a cusp, all stillness. "Best to call me Lotus...and I know of your kind."

[/ QUOTE ]

Brightspots ears perked up when this poor creature had mentioned that she knew of her kind. You know of the Eeiouans?" She pronounced the last word with a slight yowl." She smelled another presence following them and her tail went rigid. This thing wasn't Primate, Reptile or Feline. This was something else entirely. "Get your claw out Young one." She said the hair on her back rising and her tail turning into a 2 meter long bottle brush. She crouched down on all 4 legs and prepared to pounce. She sniffed the air waiting for this thing to come across the wind again. "If you are hunting us then know you're being hunted. If you aren't then show yourself." She said using the Eeiaouan ritual challenge.

"You approach from the rear, where my eyes cannot see you, huntress." The voice is a rasping whisper, barely audible above the night sounds of the city. "But I have no eyes...any longer. That is not how I 'see.' And I know you are there."

The blade makes only the slightest sound as it slides from the scabbard at her back. "Do you hunt me...?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Brightspot stopped at the voice and then replied in an accented voice. "Would you kill me for curiosity Young one. Would you deny my clan a Matriarch, my Kittens a mother, would you condemn my kind to extinction on these islands just because I happened to startle you? To answer your question no I am not hunting you. I am merely curious. You seem different than all the rest of these semi-evolved Primates." She straightened her ears out and relaxed a little. What do you call yourself Little One? I am Brightspot to Sennsre."

Julie

Primates! Primates and Reptiles. The island was full of them. Brightspot lashed her tail from side to side in annoyance at the cacophany of it all. Ever since Lord Arachnos and his band of thugs had taken over this island the noise and filth and infestation of humanity had grown unbearable. Brightspot had seen her family hunted down and killed for their pelts and claws and teeth by these petty thugs who inhabited the island. She and her clan had hunted Humans for years until Arachnos had arrived and she longed for those days to return. She paused in her thinking and took a sip of the water in the one uncontaminated river on the entire island. The water tasted sour and in an instant the rather cute felinoid that had stood there was replaced by an angry cat. her tail looped a little and lashed side to side. If those semi-evilved Monkeys hadn't paid much attention to her species in the past it was about time for them to learn about angry cats. She bound up the hill and immediately saw a Hellion spraypainting on a tree. She crouched behind a tree and pounced her full fury being unleashed on this petty thug and knocked him to the ground the can of paint flying to the ground spraying her. She hissed and clawed him in retaliation. "Monkeyss are not welcome on my Issland. Besst you remember that fuzzhead." SHe hissed

"Whaaaaa" The poor hellion stammered as he bled on the ground.

The Next thing Brightspot knew she was hit in the back with a sledgehammer as another Hellion Hit her. She rolled off and with 4 broken ribs and a broken paw she needed to finish this or run. She grabbed the hammer with her tail and tossed it away, flattened her ears and hissed. The silly primatee turned tail and ran. Brightspot knowing she would need a safe place to lick her wounds. A crazy thought entered her mind. What better place to destroy the human infestation than from the inside? Lord Primate Arachnos would be glad to have a huntress in his band of scum and petty thievery. She limped toward the hulking tower of Fort Darwin where she knew that creepy little monkey Kallinda was stationed. She padded up to the med terminals and pawed at the controls.

"Hey, vermin aren't allowed on here!" The pompous Arachnos Guard said angrily. "Shoo you smelly cat"

Brightspot turned and looked at him. "I am..." A look of disgust crossed her face but the guard was too dimwitted to see it. "... here to offer my assitance to Arachnossss. I require medical attention now are you going to be a good little monkey and help me usse it or are you going to sstand there like your tail is caught in a trap?"

The guard looked rather intimidated at the sight of the 120 lb feline staring at him with a predatory look in her eye and nodded activating the med lab. Brightspot felt her ribs knitting together and she yawned revealing fearsome teeth. The guard was even more scared of her. He put on blustery airs and stammered. "N..now...now..go...see Kallinda. Sh..sh..she will t..t..t..t..tell you what you need to do."

Brightspots tail looped in amusement and she licked his nose seeing the poor guard faint away. She padded up the ramp toward Kallinda. She looked back to see the guard waking up. "You may want to change your pants. You smell like a kitten." She said her tail looped tightly. She approached Kallinda who was handing out assignments to the assortment of ragtag humans and she meowed softly. "Tailchaser forgive me" She said as she approached. "I am here to offer my assissstance to Arachnos."

"Very well but first you must prove yourself. There is a snake den close by. You will be working with another recruit. Clean it out and bring me the skin of the vile beasts." Kallinda said haughtily.

Brightspots tail lashed back and forth in annoyance at this pompous overbearing Human telling her what to do. "Verrrrry welll!" She yowled as she padded toward the ramp. Her keen sense of smell caught the smell of blood and something more sinister. She had to investigate wondering if it was possibly an ally in her quest. She leapt up and approached the..creature. Clearly it was or had been at one time a female. It was bleeding and disfigured but it stood like a primate. Brightspot crouched behind it not sure what to do about this thing. Her curiosity aroused she sniffed it.

OOC: Not sure if this thread is dead or not. I hope not.

Name:Carliquin of Shadow

Formerly Mistress Carli of the Carnival of Light. During an intense performance cleaning out a particularly annoying bunch of Mafia from a local warehouse, a bomb went off directly beneath her throwing her out the window and onto the cold cement of Independence Port. Her hospital transponder failed to go off due to faulty maintenance by a jealous member of the Carnival. After being transported to the hospital by her Ring mistress she was declared DOA. During transport to her families burial site on the Rogue Isles she regained conciousness but the paramedics not knowing what to do dumped her on the side of the road. She was picked up by an Arachnos drone and teleported to the Arachnos medical center. When she found out that she was unable to leave the Rogue isles and return home due to a prison break and a flood of Ziggurat prisoners to the isles she became furious at both the Paragon City hospital and at her own Carnival for not checking on her. She changed her name to Carliquin of Shadow and uses her superior Invisibility spell and her sisters sword to destroy anyone and anything that steps in her path. Deep in her heart she still loves the Carnival and would do anything to return to them but her heart is so full of ice now that she can't think straight enough to come up with a plan to let them know she's still alive.

Near the Bridge of Death:

Death Mage: What is your name!

LR: Lord Recluse of Arachnos

Death Mage: What is your Quest!

LR: To Defeat Statesman

Death Mage: What is your Favorite Color!

LR:Pink..no black...no..*gets launched in the air* Ahhh!

I think I suck at playing blasters.

I think that my Phantasms have an IQ of 80 and my Phantom Army has an IQ of 5.

I think that Blasters and Controllers have a Klingon/Tribble Relationship.

I think that the ladies need long skirts and that you should have the option for multiple heads and arms.

I think I'll name my son Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I think I am too silly for this thread.

I think that its OK if people want to flame me.

I think I'll shut up now.
