((Lol! Are you putting Lili in Supervillain 101? I always sis love it when people put the stuff from other RPs into another.))
Spyne watched the child leave hungrily. She looked very juicy and delicious. But of course, there was a feast right here! Why waste energy to chase the child? Spyne looked at the pile of snakes he had accumalated and took a taste of one's arm. It was oily, like fish. He really enjoyed fish better when it was cooked. The same would go with Snakes. "Arauk? Do you mind starting a fire so that I can satisfy my tastebuds? I must feed."
Mourning Veil toggled off her photaic decoupling array, "uncloaking" in the midst of her companions in butchery. Her nose wrinkled briefly as Spyne sampled what looked to be an imminent repast, but she shrugged. It wasn't like she had to have any, and she offered silent thanks that her belt pouch contained a granola bar and a handful of Hershey Kisses.
The fight had gone well. The snakes had gotten their licks in, but the outcome wasn't in doubt. This was going to work...unless there was worse in this wretched cave than they'd seen so far.
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
((OOC: Oy... Finding it hard to keep up here! Tell y'all what. I'll bow out of this one so you guys can keep up a decent pace without me. Just assume Dobermann wandered off on his own for now. I'll keep reading but I don't want to hold y'all back!))
After Aurak introduced the rest of the team and started the fire, Mourning Veil uncloaking, Brightspot taking off and chasing after a very scared and strange looking girl and Dobermann... just taking off, Lori looked over around her "family" and nodded.
Since the fight was over, she decided to put her rifle away into her trenchcoat and try to get to know her teammates. Where to start though, was going to be tricky, since she never had a "Family" quite like this... So she took the best starting point that she knew.
"Its good to meet all of ya, Paisanos. I only have one rule... and one rule only when it comes to me... for now." She said pausing for the dramatic effect. "No one is to touch me unless I allow you to. If I am surprised and scared by a touch, do not be surprised to see the barrel end of my tommy gun locked and loaded on yer skull, Capiche?"
OOC: Sorry Palanquin. It's just that we seem to be on every day at every hour. It can be a wee bit annoying. Especially for those of us that have school and still need to post in Superhero 101. @.@
BIC: After lighting the fire and looking away from Spyne digging in, Aurak turned to survey his new companions. The feline had left with the smaller human, Aurak suspected it was a child, and Dobermann had bowed out, citing other responsibilities, leaving Aurak alone with an abomination and three human females. Then the blond ((She is blond, right?)) human said something and Aurak turned to her.
"I apologissse for my ignorance of thisss plane, but what isss a paisssanosss, a tommygun, and a capiche?" He said with a short and fast bow toward the former mob boss. "And why ssshould we have to obey any rulesss from you? I wasssnot informed by Kalinda that I would be ssserving under another."
Muttering to himself, Aurak added, "And ssshe did not tell me I would have to deal with othersss either."
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Finishing his gruesome meal, Spyne decided to thank Arauk by making sure he wasn't filled with lead. Whispering, he said, "A tommy gun is a small metal object that emits very small and fas-moving things that will hurt very, very much when hit with them. I'm not up-to-date with Italian, but I believe a paisonos is a person, and capieche means, 'Okay?' And we should not have to take any orders from the human except to not touch her. I am informing you not because I worry for you, but as thanks for helping supply me of food. If you wish for any more, you must do something for me. I always repay my debts." With those words, Spyne swept his long red cloak around so that it would nopt tangle and clopped over to the former crime boss. EExtending a hand, he said, "I am Spyne. You do not have to shake my hand if you do not wish, and I know that many would prefer not to. I respect your authority, but do not under any circumstance believe you control me. Are we clear young one?"

Lori looked over at the spiney Spyne and smiled. She did think about shaking Spyne's hand but under the circumstances (especially since she could tell that Spyne's skin would possibly be very painful from the little spines protruding from him), she decided to move her hand as close as she could and do a mock-shaking of his hand.
"Yeah. A "Family" is only as good as the sum of its components. Mama Ricci taught me that. Grazi for the explanations about mi Italiano." She said with a little smile. "I believe that I can trust you enough to maybe ... give out a little... information about our 'Family'?" Lori whispered, hoping to know a little more about the people... or things... or whatever they may call themselves.
OOC: Lori's hair is short and dark blond. You can barely see it under her Fedora hat.
((I'm Spyne, not Arauk. Arauk is the lizard, I'm the strange experiment lizard/insect/mammal/thing.))
((Oops... My Bad. Right powers but wrong person. Sorry about that *Blushes* I have edited my post to get the right person now))
((Ack! And I'm Aurak! Not Arauk!))

No insult intended (really!), but your threads just don't work for me, Blarg. Brilliant scenario concepts and some terrific writing...but the pace of posting is way too fast, the characters completely split off into their own largely unrelated two- or three-character subplots, and a whole lot of "duelling uberness" for what are supposed to be inexperienced teenage heroes and villains. There's no sense of central plot.
Not saying they're wrong, please understand. Just not working for me. I've written Nell out of the villain thread (after another poster pulled a "called outcome" thing that I'd have gotten reamed for in the Paragon University thread!). I messed up by letting Casey be pulled back into the hero one, but she seems to be in a subplot that's stalled out, so I guess it's no biggie.
Again, not a slam, just an observation...
"And in this moment, I will not run.

Within our bloodied hands."
To each their own. You must bear with me, this is the first two RPs I've ever started. I'm still a noob at this. Give me time, and I will learn. I'm sure it will eventually get deleted, but whatever. But the little sub-plots are a diversion for the big picture. The big picture will take time and effort to start, so we have the sub-plots to keep everyone happy. Really, I think Superhero 101 will outlast Supervillain 101. But that's just me. Anyway, just wanted you to know that!

I sure hope you're right...they're both fantastically-visualized scnearios! My compliments on establishing them. I'm going to "park" Nell out of the picture - I can always bring her back in if things start to coalesce. Not sure how to deal with my character twice having responses or actions ascribed to her that I didn't post and wouldn't have allowed if asked...but I can think of something!
"And in this moment, I will not run.

I understand. I as well hate it when somebody takes control of my character without permission. I am guessing that the threads will eventually lose their status and get lost in the RP Void. And then, months after dissapearing, they will emerge once more, bigger and better than before. But that's just my guess.
((OOC: And we'd love to have you back. 
Though I do now have a sense of impending doom...
Of course, I could chalk it up to discovering I have two unscheduled meetings to attend tomorrow...))

Hey, I am amazed that Superhero/villain 101 have gotten THIS far! Especially Superhero 101.
/em shake head
103 pages in just over a week? I've broken the record!
Who kept taking control of your character, Dollhouse?
Seems that this is now an OOC thread. My fault. =)
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
*throws Khel into a flaming pit o doom*
I wonder how long it will take for the thread to be deleted?
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.
