Alex kicked the wreckage of the turrets aside before staring at his hand. If his memories prior to being a cyborg weren't so foggy, this would probably be a strange feeling. His palm completely reoriented with a glowing blue projector in the center, perpendicular to his wrist, with his fingers rotated around the edge. It was highly reminiscent of one of those claw machines, he noted. He looked over as Masaki and Pip exited the server room with their haul. "Finished up? Let's get moving." He gestured down the hallway with his kinetic tether hand. "If we go roughly the way we came back to the elevator, we should encounter the least amount of resistance."

(Ooh! Your characters seem so cool. :3 And kemonomimis is always fun and cute to draw. I personally usually avoid using the city name, but I was told a long time ago that the location is Capital City, Georgia, United States.)
(The hero team (it's what we call them, though most of them don't actually consider themselves heroes) is mostly a secret. Potential vouches or leaks I can think of would be Farlow (a black-footed ferret who can switch between ferret form and ferret-man form), or the Red Gorilla Gang (recently defeated by the heroes and disbanded). That could possibly explain how they found it. Unless they just stalked one of the heroes to find the place. :3 If they approach the base now, then that would likely be the next morning in role-play time. It might take a few days for Lioncl and I to wrap up the chaos of the last day, but as soon as we're done, I'd love to have them drop in on the group! ^^ Or perhaps the hero team might crash in on one of their scenes. Who knows.)
(In the mean time, characters I have open: Ringo (ex-gang member with the ability of illusions), Isa (new character-crazy healer), Bee (another new character who remains unawakened and safely buried under a restricted area outside the city), possibly Xero (a wild thing of a man with enhanced abilities). That's all I can think of for now. I might think of more later. Let me know if you need any more details for anything. :3)

(Characters I have open: MS2-5- Big buff experiment guy with the ability to respawn if he offs himself
P C-65- Alien bug creature that creates various types of fungus for various occasions
Markus- Guy with enhanced senses and abilities, as well as a very complex catalogue-like system of every living organism in the city
Ironidax- Human with a disease that gives him vampiristic tendencies
Jumpstart (real name unknown)- guy made a deal with the devil and possess electricity manipulation
Tyuptreck- A species of unknown origin called a Retriever sent by various deities to collect payments. Can possess numerous things and can alter the appearance of some objects depending on the moon, sun, stars, and other factors
Jack- Old guy with a tunnel that can spit you out in a random time period
Ryan- He has a bottle and likes to smoke
Not sure if these are open:
Boris- Cryokinetic guy moving with Jerome
Jerome- Blind guy whose body adapts to a situation as best it can to increase his survivability. He also has strange tentacle-like strands he can use to grab onto things and either pull them closer, or pull himself closer to, and the ability to create portals to jump through and pop out of. Kind of ineffective now since he has to see in order to use a portal
Banshee- Guy with a really loud voice; probably has a hangover rn
Could be open but do you want to meet em?:
HVY MTL DRMR (Dreamer for short)- Jerome from the future. He's gone through various changes, the main one's being his skin became metallic in colour, his blood is replaced by a strange liquid that seeps out from various holes in his body that he can manipulate at will, his eyes blink with colour every now and then to reset his vision and keep him from going blind once more, and he's aware of the 4th wall and often breaks it

(Hehe. Itβs easy to get carried away when writing about characters.)
(If youβre up for roleplaying, feel free to pick from any of my free characters. Ringo might say a quick farewell to Banshee if you want to roleplay that. They never really got along before, because Ringo played himself off as a selfish money-loving jerk. But Ringoβs going through a serious identity crisis right about now. The only thing that mattered to him was taken away, and now he is free from Alphaβs tyrannical reign. He could meet with any of your other characters if youβd rather. :3)

"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. Ash walked into the base as he muttered his thanks to Lowen but never looked in his direction. He didn't even see or smell Farlow approaching since he was so absorbed in his thoughts. He needed to figure out why he lost himself to rage since he hadn't felt that since before his escape from that hellhole. Lydia had stayed quiet until now since Lowen seemed to have things under control. As she started following them back, she noticed Farlow and Rosie. She let out a few curses under her breath when she figured that Rosie had run away from them. Lydia looked at Farlow "What's the matter? What happened while we took care of the ape?" She asked Masaki nodded "Yeah we got everything we can from in there. Pip's powers are really useful when it comes to that" he said before he listened to Alex's plan. "Sounds like a good plan to me. Got a question though, how do these cameras see their targets exactly. Maybe I can use my flames to distract their sensors somehow"

(Endingfairy - Really, rather than heroes, these guys are like a motley crew of misfits. I'm sure your characters will fit right in. :3 If you ever want to see what my characters look like, I explain almost everything about them at the Lighthouse: wcrpforums.com/thread/73863/lighthouse?page=1&scrollTo=2789870 ) (I'll usually try to post a picture of them when I start writing with someone for the first time.) Lowen paused for a moment at the door, glancing back at Ash, before he disappeared inside. Lowen trotted along until he reached the room they left Ollie and Finla. "It's o-!" he began to call out, only to be interrupted by a sudden EEP!Finla jumped away from Ollie's head in ferret form and fell off the end of the couch. With her back on the floor, she poofed into human form. "-ver..." Lowen finished with less gusto. "Finla, are you okay? What's going on..?"The ferretling sat up. "Nothing!" Finla denied quickly. Perhaps too quickly. --- Rosie stared down at the ground, refusing to look up at Lydia. Farlow knelt down beside her. "Why don't you go inside and find something to eat." Rosie was hesitant to part with Farlow, but she gradually took her hand away from his and slipped away to the door.
Farlow watched her go. As soon as the door clicked closed he turned to Lydia. "Rosie and the Redcoat took off during the fight. Rosie said he came to her and explained everything. Apparently Redcoat had been the one making Rosie think she was a monster. He was using illusions to rile her emotions to the breaking point so they could get the maximum power out of her," he explained with a serious expression. He glanced at the door. "She says she wants to forget everything."--- Pip hopped from the room, tilting this way and that with a little grin on her face. She was singing a little childish ditty. "Hippity Hoppity. Awex and Masaki. Hippity Hoppity. Here we all gooooo!" Pip jumped, landing right between Masaki and Alex. Then she giggled.
Perhaps she had overused her ability after all.

(No problemo. :3 I hope it's okay if I send him to the bar for now. If Banshee is elsewhere, maybe Ringo will find him afterwards.) Tired and aching, Ringo stepped into a small bar called The Crow. He sat down at the counter and set his hat beside him. He waved a hand at the bartender and ordered whiskey on the rocks. He needed something strong right about now. Both the scar and his tattoo were showing on his face. He no longer had the energy to hide them with his ability.(You've probably already seen this, but this was the last picture I drew of his true face: )

Banshee's head was screaming at him, banging and thrashing like a fish out of water. It was a good reminder as to why he stopped drinking all those years ago. It hurt like hell and the trade off was less than appealing but it was better than the alternative. It was better than dealing with Alpha. Better than dealing with the immeasurable amount of uncleanliness he felt, knowing he'd helped rip a child away from her family and her friends. Banshee was used to a lot of what the gang did. Hell he was even ok with a lot of it! But child abduction crossed an admittedly very blurred line. Banshee sat in a stool stooped over the bar with his head laying on crossed arms. However, when he heard the voice of Ringo he couldn't help but let out a groan. "What're you doing here?" The man asked halfheartedly. He lifted his roaring head and turned to his left just long enough to see Ringo was seated with a couple chairs between the them before letting his head fall back down on his arms. "Come to drown your sorrows?" Light

Ringo briefly glanced over when Banshee spoke, but he remained silent. The bartender set his drink down in front of him with a clunk. Facing forwards, Ringo picked it up and took a long slow sip. Banshee spoke again as Ringo lowered his cup. Ringo let out a long slow breath. "Alpha was looking for you," he stated without looking at him. It seemed he chose to ignore Banshee's questions for now.

"And now why would he do that? There wasn't anything for me to do today. I think..." Granted he was drunk, Banshee was almost 100% sure he wasn't assigned anything out of the ordinary for the day. Why would Alpha be looking for him? He let out an exasperated sigh. Thinking about it made his head hiss and spit at him like an angry cat and he wasn't in the mood for it.

"You sure missed out on a lot these last couple of days." Ringo swirled his glass and listened to the ice clink. "Last night some girl broke in and took the weathergirl. Today Alpha went on some sort of revenge quest." He absentmindedly rubbed a bruise on his jaw. His fingers brushed against his scar and his hand paused there. He let out a single halfhearted laugh that didn't reach his eyes, and he lowered his hand. "I really hated that guy..." Ringo lifted his cup, taking a big swig of his whiskey. How many years had it been? He could hardly remember at this point. It felt like he'd been doing it all his life. Despite being only in his late twenties, he had been in the Red Gorilla Gang longer than most of the others. He had been merely a boy when he first got stuck in the shady business of gang life.

Alex ripped a targeting camera out of the wreckage and scanned it. "Looks like standard facial-recognition tech. If it can't identify, it opens fire. Although, considering the state of the facility, the hardware and software may have deteriorated to a 'shoot anything that moves' method of defense." He flicked the camera back onto the floor. He looked over at Pip questioningly before looking back to Masaki. "We might want to keep an eye on her. Make sure she doesn't wander into a bad spot." He then turned and continued down the hallway, peering around the corner. There were two more turrets that had lowered from the ceiling, rotating from left to right.

"Aw... You don't twust me? I got this! You boys do youah thin' an' I'll do mine," Pip put in. She let out another giggle as she skipped along behind Alex and Masaki, humming her little ditty.

Ash's body started to change as he reverted back to his human form. He went to sit on an armchair with a tired look on his face, barely giving any notice to Finla's surprise attack on Lowen. He sat there for a few moments before he looked over at the ferrets "Did something happen while I was away?" He asked Finla
Lydia let Rosie go inside without stopping her. She listened to Farlow explain the situation and let out a few choice words under her breath. "So it seems like that bastard Mensonge played a bigger part in that gang than I originally thought. I can't help but feel even worse for the poor girl. I can understand why she would want to forget everything that has happened. I just hope she can get some semblance of normalcy even if she decides not to stay here" she said
Masaki noticed that Pip was acting a lot more childlike than she had been not too long ago. Before she was almost like a rebellious teen but now it was like she had reverted to a small child. He guessed that was another side effect of using her powers too much. Masaki listened to what Alex said and nodded "Alright, let me try something out on the next turret. Maybe if I use my flames I can obscure the camera enough that it won't fire at us or just take it out entirely by overheating it" he said. At Alex's last comment, Masaki nodded "Yeah that's probably the right thing to do. She's not exactly herself right now and it's not that we don't trust you Pip. We just don't want to see you get injured when it can easily be avoided"

Finla started to flush in embarrassment and quickly shook her head. "No! Nothing. Nothing at all."
Lowen's eyes narrowed. He knew when his sister was up to something. He circled the couch Ollie was on and stopped in front of Finla. He couldn't see anything amiss, but her face said otherwise. "Come on. What did you do..?" he asked leaning closer to her face as if he could get the answer by looking closely into her eyes.
Finla put a hand in his face and pushed him away. "I told you! It's nothing! Just leave me alone!" --- Rosie lurks somewhere inside. --- Farlow dipped his head. "We should organize a search for her parents. If they are still out there, she'll need the family support." He lifted his head and looked into the distance down the street. "Mensonge, is that his name? Shall I track him down?"
(I haven't even decided if Rosie's parents are alive or not. Whenever I tried to role-play them, I messed up, so I blamed it all on Ringo and went with it.) --- Pip suddenly stopped giggling, and glared at Masaki. She stuck out her tongue, but didn't argue further.
(It's interesting. When my nieces age 5+ are like little rebellious teenagers, but they also have a adoring, playful side. They will often try to hide their adoring side by acting "cool".)

(Yaaay! Welcome back, Shadow! The fight with Alpha is over. Ollie's all beaten up, lying on the couch in the base. The newbies, Ash, Lowen and Finla are with him. Rosie was used in the fight, but then she was freed by Ollie. She ran away afterwards while everyone was fighting. Farlow fetched her and they have reached somewhat of an understanding. She is somewhere in the base now. Lydia and Farlow are just outside, discussing her future. Ringo also got away, finishing off his old wounded master, Alpha. Alpha had lost his fight against Lydia and Ash.)
(I don't know what's up with Whisper. Last post, she was fighting with Shadow. Feel free to decide what Shadow does with her. :3 I've hinted this, but it turns out she had killed Olga not at Alpha's order, but rather, in a twisted attempt to free Ringo from Alpha's control.)
(Dunno if it was necessary, but I hope it helps. ^^)

Alex scanned the turret and analyzed the parts. His interface highlighted a box on the turret's right side and identified it as the ammo box. This gave him an idea. "Masaki, try aiming for that box on the turret. Overheating it should cause the ammunition to detonate and destroy the turret. I'll get the next one." He turned his head to make sure Pip was a safe distance away from the line of fire.
