Lydia sighed "Yeah, I'm holding him in place but it's so he doesn't go ape shit crazy and start attacking everyone like he did earlier. As to what's wrong with him, he's probably in some kind of bloodlust right now. I've seen it happen to some soldiers who just shut out the world around them and go after the enemy. They don't last long so that's why I'm holding him down" she said
Ash was breathing heavily at this point and his movements had slowed but that was only because he had exerted a ton of energy trying to get untangled. Suddenly he heard Lowen calling out to him and his head snapped in his direction. It seemed like seeing the little ferret safe and unharmed had somewhat calmed Ash as the growling stopped and the snarl disappeared from his face.
Lydia let out another sigh, this time due to annoyance "Seems like he's calming down. Go see if you can bring him back to his senses kid" she said before muttering under her breath "Course the new guy just has to be crazy"
As Pip moved over to start shrinking the server stand he had just unplugged, Masaki looked over to her and looked a little shocked at how much she had shrunk. "Hey Pip, you sure you aren't overusing your powers right now? You've gotten smaller" he said as he kept unplugging

A lot of the words Lydia said didn't make much sense to Lowen, but he felt he got the basic understanding from it. Ash was losing himself to his instincts and the tall lady was trying to keep him from going on the hunt. Lowen didn't like that wild look in his eye. He could understand the call of the hunt, but this... This seemed entirely different. Ash was entirely different. The look in his eyes was not the Ash he knew. Ash's gaze suddenly locked with his, and as the wolverine calmed, he felt he could see a hint of the Ash that was. His feet now upon the ground, the hybrid ferretling walked towards Ash. "The bad guy's gone, big bro Ash. You scared him off!" He had seen the two clashing from the window for a short time earlier. "And Finla's safe with Ollie." Lowen stopped right in front of the vine covered Ash and lifted his hand. "Let's go home now, okay?"
---
Pip picked up his shrunken stand and put it into the bag. She stuck her tongue out at him. "I ain't overused anythin' yet! I can do a couple more stands without a countah, got it?" she squeaked in kid voice. If the room wasn't so small, she'd be able to do a complete counter then and there. For now she'd have to do with an incomplete counter. She enlarged her own size, turning into a large child, taller than Masaki, but shorter than the ceiling. "See? Now I can do even mo'ah! Just keep unpluggin' em, got it?"

Lydia started to lower Ash closer to the ground due to him calming down slightly. She wondered what the little ferret meant to the werewolf if he was able to calm him down. She had no idea that they had met not long ago.
Ash let out a few deep breaths before he let out a small whine. He couldn't exactly understand what Lowen was saying but he could tell that the pack he had tried to protect so desperately was safe. He seemed to become even calmer than before and his eyes turned back to normal. When he finally regained his senses, Ash looked around frantically with wide eyes "Is everyone alright?" He asked in a panicked tone
Masaki sighed "Just trying to make sure you're okay. No need to get snappy about it" he said as he continued unplugging the servers. "Figured you shrinking was because of all the shrinking. If that's not the case then why were you shrinking?"

Lowen's gaze immediately brightened when that wild look left Ash's gaze. "Ash!" he exclaimed with a grin, closing the gap between them. "Finla and Ollie are safe inside. I don't know where father is... but that's pretty normal..." He kind of faded off for a moment. Then his voice perked up again, "You and tall lady scared the bad guy away! You guys were crazy awesome!"
---
A soft blush glowed on Pip's cheeks. "Yeah, yeah..." Perhaps she should just tell him. He was her 'guardian' after all. "You'ah wight in part," the oversized child admitted in a squeaky voice. "When I shwink thin's, I get youngah. An' when I gwow thin's, I get oldah. So to be honest, I do have wimits... After this, I'll just be- a wittle youngah. As soon as we get out, I'll just hafta gwow sometin'" She shrunk down another server and stowed it away. The most embarrassing thing about all this, was that Masaki likely wouldn't see her as an equal until she made herself older looking. Perhaps around age 17-20. Yet here she was, a mere child in the sight of him. What if he never saw her as anything more than a child..?
(Hope things are looking up soon. Sour!)

Alex paused and listened to the conversation about the effects of Pip's powers before turning his attention back to dealing with security. With his hand reconfigured into his new ability, he took aim at the first automated turret and fired. A bright blue beam shot out of his hand with a humming sound and once it reached the turret it encased it in a shimmering blue energy bubble. He then yanked his arm back with incredible force, ripping the turret from its ceiling mount. The remaining turret beeped a few times as it locked on to Alex, preparing to fire. Thinking quickly, he swung the destroyed turret with his tether like a makeshift wrecking ball. The pile of scrap slammed into the other turret and destroyed it with a loud CLANG. His hand crackled as he disengaged the tether.

Ash looked slightly confused. He had chased away the gorilla? The last thing he remembered was exiting the building and seeing him walk away. What could he have done that chased him away? "Wait I actually fought him?" Ash asked
Masaki couldn't help but notice that the way Pip was talking sounded more childish though he didn't mention it though since he knew it would most likely piss her off if he had. "That's a pretty interesting power you got then. Starting to feel kinda basic with the one I have" he said with a light chuckle. He thought about it for a moment, so if she kept growing things then that means her physical appearance would grow as well. It was certainly a weird thought but he highly doubted that he would ever think he would see her as an adult until she actually was one especially after knowing her real age. He could hear loud crashing from outside the room "Sounds like Mr. Roboto out there is having some fun with the turrets"
(sorry for the short post. I can't think right now)

(No worries. It's perfect. :3)
"Yeah, you were all like RAARAAAARAAAR!" Lowen wrinkled his muzzle and swiped his claws though the air in an imitation of how he had seen Ash. His fake snarl broke into a toothy grin, and he looked up at Ash with his eyes sparkling. "It was so cool!" He seemed oblivious to what this all really meant.
---
Pip turned away, blushing further. She lifted her hands to her reddened cheeks and the bag she was carrying slipped up to her elbow. He thought her ability was interesting! EEK! "No no, it's not that gweat... I mean, it is pwetty cool sometimes, but when it comes to stwength, youah fwames would pwobably be bettah than my lawge size... I stan' out to much that way and well... thewe is too much to considah." She jumped, breaking free from her unusually awkward trance at a long clang. Her eyes flew open wide. "What's a tuwwet? Do ya think he's awight?" She looked down at the full bags. "Looks like we got mo'ah than enough heah. How 'bout we call it done an' go join the fun?"
(Did she just give a compliment? Gasp. Something must be horribly wrong with Pip! XD)
(A future minor plot is forming in Pip's head. Let's call it, Project Cinderella. That's as far as I'll go with that hint, if it's not obvious. :3 Hehehe.)

Ash forced a smile on his face and ruffled Lowen's head "Yeah, I'm sure it was cool. Too bad I don't know what I did" he said. Losing control of himself and not being able to remember it was really bothering Ash. Something like this hadn't happened in years and the last time it did, one of the scientists had been killed. He couldn't exactly remember what caused his outburst that day. "Let's get back inside though just in case the bad guy tries to come back" he said to Lowen. He gave a quick glance to Lydia and gave her a nod as if to thank her for restraining him.
Masaki smiled at the way she was acting "Your power makes it easier for you not to stand out that much since you can shrink yourself at any time. Mine isn't exactly subtle and brings more attention than I want to me plus if I'm not careful, my clothes will burn. That's why I wear Kevlar pants to help with prevent that. But trust me, in a lot of situations, your power would be better than mine" he said. "These turrets are machines that have some kind of weapon that it fires at designated targets I'm guessing. Right now they are looking for intruders so we gotta be extra careful leaving here" he said as he started to zip up one of the bags. "Alright let's go meet up with him"
(oh no Pip lmao but I'm excited where it will go)

"Mkay," Lowen agreed with a grin. He skipped back to the door of the base and pulled it open.
Farlow and Rosie stepped from the shadows across the street, holding hands, and they approached Lydia, Ash, and Lowen. Farlow was looking ahead with his deep steady gaze, while Rosie followed, silently staring down at her own feet.
---
Pip turned away from Masaki again when he continued to speak. She stared at the floor, her face burning. Gosh.... He just kept on complimenting her. Each time it filled her with such a thrill. When he explained her last question, she silently echoed his words, but none of them seemed to reach her. The sound of the zipper broke her from her thoughts this time. She quickly zipped up her own luggage and shrunk them to a size that would fit back into her pocket. She shrunk herself down to a proportionate size for a five year old. "Yeah!" She agreed, clenching her fists and and looking up at him with big golden brown eyes and a rosy cheeked grin.

(Yep. There are some villain characters. I have a few characters of questionable alliance on hand (that could possibly be considered villains).
Let’s see... where should I start plotwise..? Well, it takes place in a modern city in a real world setting. Most people are normal, but many people have abilities here. They were either born with it, experimented on or otherwise. There are two or three organizations known to have done experiments. Currently, there is a hero group discretely gathering members to save the world from possible incoming doom and there is a small group discovering the mysteries of some covert agency. There were other plots, but they are postponed for now.
But there’s no pressure to join an existing plot. If you wish, feel free to come up with whatever plots you please, and I’ll just throw some characters at you (who may or may not have their own little plots). :3
Just let me know if you want to do the first post or if you want me to do it. ^^)

(Electric powers... not that I know of. Not in any recent roleplaying anyways. We currently have at least one cyborg character (dunno how close to electric that’d be). I’ll see what I can do about getting your character connections to the main hero group. Unless they are a villain, maybe I could prepare different connections then. ^^ Or maybe they are something in between... XD I look forwards to learning about your character/characters.)

A large man past his prime with grey streaked hair was limping down the empty backstreets. His arms were a mess. One was hanging unnaturally whilst the other had deep claw marks marring the other. His clothes were all torn up and battered as well. This was Alpha. One more corner, and he should arrive at the right place. Next thing he knew, he was falling. How was that even possible? He had been been walking on the street! Now it felt like he was falling right through it! Then he realized what was happening. The pain and exhaustion had brought down his guard. "RINGOOOO!" Alpha howled as he fell... fell... fell to his death far below.
(For those who are confused, Ringo has the ability of illusions. He misled Alpha's path. RIP Alpha, even though you were a bad dude.)
Ringo stood at the precipice, the wind blowing his dishevelled hair. He stared down at the sheer drop, his eyes cold and pained. "It's over, Alpha."

It had been a distressingly long time since Marin was able to sleep in a real bed with blankets and goose down pillows and a mattress devoid of spine-scraping springs that creaked with every movement. So, naturally, he was prepared to Fight whoever sought to draw him from his restful slumber and the privileged comfort of- he repeats, a real bed. His sleep-muddled mind somehow manages to consider all of this while he clings to the last dredges of a good dream.
"Jay, Jay we need to go." The voice is naturally soft even when it isn't reduced to a whisper, but the edge of panic in it is new. The words are accompanied by a hand shaking his thigh, which is half out of the blankets as he snuggles deeper into the covers.
"Mn stop, it's too early to consider murder..." He slurs, only for the shaking to increase as he otherwise responds with an irate twitch of an ear. He's trying to turn them away so that he can better ignore Tesla's voice. "But I'll make a special exception for you." His only response is a brief electric shock that jolts him awake. Marin instinctively lunges for the nearest warm body and is expertly deflected with an elbow to the sensitive part of his shoulder blade. He twists as he falls and hooks a leg around his would-be assailant so that they go down together in a tangle of limbs. "Ha!" If he's being forced to wake up early, then he's going to be a nuisance about it.
"Good morning~!" Ocarina chooses this moment to waltz in with a mug of coffee. He sips it as he stares down at them. "I have a tranquilizer dart in my arm!" Naturally, he sounds way too blasé about that.
"What?" Marin disentangles himself from the resigned blond and reaches blindly for the shirt he'd thrown over the dresser. There is indeed, something protruding from the older man's bare right arm but he appears otherwise unaffected. "Just thought you should know~" He then breezes right back out of the room while Marin runs a distracted hand through his disheveled azure hair and over his lowered rabbit's ears. The other hand he extends to help Tesla stand. "Sorry- old habits~ Ah, where did he get that?"
Tesla shifts anxiously from one foot to another. Marin notes that he's already dressed in his oversized honey bee hoodie and battered vans. "Scouting ahead. Mr Bates is still asleep, we should leave before he wakes up and is further implicated. I don't want him to get hurt..."
"It'll be okay!" He should probably feel bad that the platitude is so automatic. "We're really close now, and we'll finally have the backing to do. Things." He smiles encouragingly but the blond is still frowning.
"Like protect people!" Marin adds, patting Tesla's shoulder as he begins to steer him out of the room. "Tell Cari to save me something while I get ready. We'll be out in ten, okay?"
"...'kay."
He ruffles the silky sunbeam hair for good measure before closing the door with a confident smile. It doesn't quite go away when he's out of sight, but it does dim. Marin tries to act otherwise- and he thinks he's gotten better at hiding it- but the stress of keeping them alive and on the run does weigh on him. Sometimes. But there's definite hope now. They're nearing the stomping grounds of a so-called 'team' of heroes, and if Marin can get an in they'll finally be secure enough to stop looking over their shoulder quite as frequently. And they'd be able to stop putting the kind people who help them hide in danger. At least if the Project goes after a hero they'll be more easily rebuffed. Hopefully.
It's all about hope but Marin won't allow himself to be preoccupied by the Possibility of a break in the chaos of their life. He's entirely willing to force the change he wants to see. If the 'heroes' deny him he'll make them accept him. If they still aren't in a safe place he'll make it so. Marin isn't going to be caught again, and he'll drag everyone within reach down with him if that's what it takes.

( Thanks! I finally got my starter up- it's just to kind of introduce my characters and their motivation a bit. The boys are escaped experiments who want to join the heroes for the security the position will hopefully provide. My next post will place them in the city, which will hopefully give me enough time to see where everyone is and which place is the best spot for Marin's Grand Entrance. Also, is there a name for their city? )
( They're all animal experiments because I have way too many kemonomimis ^^")
