Setting and FAQ | Rules | Network FAQ | Game FAQ

NETWORK

So you've just found your CALL device and you're not quite ready to see what hitting the [TRANSPORT] button does. Instead, you start looking around on the messaging apps to see who you can talk to: the HERO Network for heroes, the CAD network for villains, and the CALL network if curious to see who might answer. Need advice? Want to see what other people feel about an issue? Go for it...



CITY OF NIGHTMARE

So you actually hit that [TRANSPORT] button and while you can't say that the City of Tomorrow where you started at isn't neat and all but there's just so much to explore. But as you make your way across the bridge, a sudden rainstorm begins. Through the gloom and the lightning, you can make out a single building in the distance. It's not particularly welcoming, of course, but it does at least look dry and reasonably sturdy. What could go wrong here? Hopefully, someone in there has an idea of when the rain might stop. Or... someone will come soon?



CITY OF ROMANCE

It is a singularly beautiful night out in the City of Romance, even more singularly beautiful than most of the nights there, which are usually pretty nice. The sky is clear and dark, and it's just the right temperature out for a late picnic or a night of stargazing. It appears that some enterprising soul has put out a number of blankets in the park, though there are a limited number of them so you may have to share...



CITY OF ADVENTURE

You've been in the wilds of the City here for the last few hours. Hot, sweaty, and more than a little uncomfortable given the number of mosquito, you would almost think that someone heard your silent prayers as you come through the trees and spy the most amazing looking waterfall. Obviously, you've learned that many things are not as they seem in this City and that the beautiful can hide all manner of mysteries... but damn if that pool doesn't look like it'd feel amazing to dive into.



WILDCARD!

Go wherever your heart leads you!

Comments

city of romance! or something

[morethanagun]

[ Someone lightly kicks his shin. Okay. It's less lightly and more she didn't get a good angle so there's not much force, but it's not like it's going to bruise. Much. Don't be a pansy. ]

Hey. Move over, tentpole. They're outta blankets.

[gforces]

how did you survive that
or does your face look all scarredy now

[gforces]

hey now
two automated fighter jets couldn't shoot me down

[gforces]

( wow, rude. )

Why's that my problem? ( buuuut he's making space because hi, hello, she's not bad to look at actually and his halfmast hasn't wilted from the kick.

does she really want to sit down next to him? okay. okay, all right. ) Have a seat.

[dragonring]

...give him time.

[That's all he says because, well. He sometimes is stubborn to forget, too.]

CALL | un: catstate

[dragonring]

You mean like... the internet?

[morethanagun]

[ Yes, she wants to sit next to him. He's handsome, and she's in a city of romance alone. Did he really just think she'd come over to bother him because she wanted a blanket?

She sits and puts a nice sized bottle down in the grass beside her, and let's hope he likes Jim Bean. At least it's not...

Well, it's not the good stuff but it's not the awful stuff.]

Thank you very much.

[ She's gonna flop back and lay out now and, well, she's not exactly being totally subtle about arching her back a little as she does it but it's not a bad view, really. ]

Been out here long?

HERO | un: catstate

[dragonring]

[It's the username that calls his attention. It's silly, he knows, and still, he finds himself texting back even if he doesn't have proper answers.]

I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say... the bad guys?

[the_main_man]

You got a device that lets you communicate and travel between different worlds and you think I'm talking about the INTERNET.

Humans...

[american_alien]

I survive a lot of stuff.

And no, it's not all scarred. I look fine.

[dragonring]

[Not 100% human, but he doesn't feel like explaining that right now.]

I was trying to point out you aren't exactly having the most original idea ever? Go up the satellite, there's a multiverse trade market.

[gforces]

good on you buddy

[gforces]

( well, if that's how she wants to play it, he's on board. he's entirely on board. the sail may only be on half mast right now, but that can be remedied easily enough. in fact, the way she arches her back a little goes some way to remedying that -- while the bottle of jim bean goes a long way to remedying any grumpiness hal may have felt at being kicked like he isn't some super great space cop.

okay, there isn't actually a lot of grumpiness. )

Not really. You?

( does it matter? does she care about small talk? please say no. )

CALL | un: catstate

[dragonring]

Do you think of robots as objects?

[gforces]

are they sentient??

[american_alien]

Look, I did something dumb and I paid for it but I was trying to do the right thing, okay? I just... wasn't very good at it.

[literally_raising]

I miss my friend.

[the_main_man]

Not like we've got the opportunity to do, though. That's UC goods, not worth anything.

I bet you've got a few shiny rare items where you're from, the kind that most people don't get their hands on much.

And then you multiply that rarity by not even being a part of that world?

[morethanagun]

[ She glances up and sideways at him, raising an eyebrow. She just got here, remember? Then she chuckles, just a little. ]

You've got about three gulps.

[dragonring]

I haven't met sentient robots but I just got here. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some out there. This place sounds like it has everything. And multiverse theory says all possible options should exist somewhere.

[anysword]

well in that case yeah you might not have more answers, but hey!! us new people should stick together, try to make sense of all this, right?

[anysword]

that does seem to be the general purpose of a capital-H Hero, but i haven't heard or seen much about any actual bad guys yet. so are there any specific ones or is it just general threats?

it seems a lot of work to go to for general threats.

[anysword]

how does that sound work related??

uhhh not going by the movies i mean. being around them is supposed to make you feel happy and like things are good, and that if something bad happened they'd have your back however they could.

and sometimes their smile is just so goofy that you want to make them smile like that forever. and keep anything bad from happening to them.

stuff like that.

[anysword]

that does seem to back up your claim
but do you have more evidence than one instance sir? one could be a fluke!

[american_alien]

Sounds like a plan to me. So.

What're we trying to make sense of right now? I just figure, it helps to have a goal, right?
