The Musician followed, still not entirely over the feeling of being watched. I mean, it stood to reason that if Calliope wasn't dead that she was somewhere, and if she was somewhere, she'd probably be keeping an eye on the party...

1: Name: Carbide (don't look at me like that, you knew a Robot Wars reference was coming sooner or later)

2: Name: Universitonne
Catchphrase: "By the Ashen Moles of Bodley!"

3: Name: Mountaineer
Catchphrase: "Gotta go in by the door, they told me! Ha!"
Blurb: When you're a big, tough anti-hero, you don't play by the rules. You're loud, you're brash, you've got awesome powers, and collateral damage is a problem for tomorrow and/or somebody else. That's as true for Gamma Man as it is for anyone else in his position. This is not his story.

When you're a scientist who people have the temerity to call mad just because you've won the Nobel Prize for Wave-Motion Brain Annihilation three years on the bounce, you don't play by the rules either. What you want is what you get, what you get is what you can grab, and what you can grab generally blasts a whole bunch of interesting exotic particles out the business end whether it's supposed to or not. That's as true for Doctor Cranitron as it is for other people who got laughed at in the Academy. This is not his story.

When heroes and villains fight, people get caught up in it: bystanders, photographers, hostages, it's a fact of life. So it was when Doctor Cranitron took the SupraCorp tower in downtown Metro City hostage, Gamma Man, that fair metropolis's edgiest hero, took it upon himself (to the quiet despair of the local constabulary) to rescue the hostages and deal with the Doctor once and for all. They fought, the building collapsed, but Gamma Man got everyone out, just about. The Doctor? Well, he was a smear on the ground, but villains come back from a lot worse all the time. Pavement pizza is just another Tuesday.

But what about Eduardo Cabrera, the undocumented Honduran immigrant cleaning the windows on the twenty-seventh floor, where so much of the fighting had taken place? What happened when his body was suffused with every example of Raygun Science (Mad) know to man? What happened as he awoke the next day, phased halfway through the rubble of the collapsed building and suspended thirty feet off the ground? This is the Mountaineer's story.

This is his story.

Let's find out.

"Thanks." Sapphire smiled at The Musician, "I guess that's a good way of looking at it." They looked up at the banister where the Ghast was. "I'll head up there and join the Ghast now, if you don't mind. Seems like a good idea." They walked up the stairs and joined the Garnet Ghast at the railing.

Put me in for any parts for which you need someone whose singing voice is reminiscent of six cats fighting in a tool works. =]

'And in order to do that we will stand next to the corpse and poke it with a stick,' Mister Turkey said, nodding. 'Instead of staying here where it's safe and eating ice cream.' Mister Turkey nodded.

'Let's go,' he said, continuing to nod. 'This is a great plan. I don't have a stick but I can probably use my finger.' And he nodded away as he walked, wistfully thinking back to the refreshment table.

...I'm gonna regret this since I can't stand the sound of my own recorded singing voice.

Okay, so. I can sing just about anyone you need me to (exceptions may apply), but I think the Unnamed Yenta-Sue would be my first choice. I'm best at singing lower-pitched, balladesque songs - most Blackmore's Night songs I've heard would be good examples, but I would particularly recommend tracks from the albums Ghost of a Rose, Under a Violet Moon, or a few from The Village Lanterne.

I sent you my best choice of audition material, but it's a few months old. If you want something more recent and without any editing tricks (because part of it is edited), I'd be happy to hop onto voip and sing for you!

Let me know if I haven't, and I'll tweak my post.

Sophia Antonia Cartler always liked pretty things. It was just that her definition of what was pretty was a bit different from most people's. Her morals fell even farther outside the norm, and she gained a reputation as a weird, mysterious thief who didn't even consistently take valuable items.

She was furious when she gained superpowers from an attack on the movie theater she was in, and then delighted once she'd realized that, despite the very random tail she'd grown, she now had the ability to walk through walls. Well, and summon cheese at will, but that was a lot less useful to a lactose intolerant person. Until the time she first used the cheese as projectiles, that is.

So Sophia continued her stealing, more frequently than before she'd left her job, and she was happy. She'd put on her same mask, let the tail out (what? It unnerved people), and gone straight for Tiffany's. Her next few sprees were also expensive, to the point where a local newspaper nicknamed her "the Magpie." Had she continued that trend just a little longer the name might have stuck, but as fate would have it she went next for a series of commonly low-value items. These were so varied and so frequently useless that when a difference paper jeered, "more like a *pack rat*," that was the name that ultimately stuck.

Everyone ignored her protests that it was undignified, prejudiced, had connotations of dirtiness, etc. After the first time it led to her capture, Sophia vowed revenge and resolved to be more careful when trying to get the moniker changed. She remains unsuccessful in both respects.

I did Field Day a while back and barely got any contacts until the band opened up to Texas around 6, which was unfortunately when I had to leave :(.

My computer can be so annoying sometimes. T_T

I've got so many writer friends who would love this game! Thanks!

You know, those ones where someone says "I'm throwing a party and inviting (character)" and everyone else has to figure out the theme that invitations are based on? Because I want to start one of my own and am wondering if they successfully were moved somewhere else.

So far as I know, the idea is original to me, though it's a fairly simple expansion of the Round Robin concept - or that old thing where you draw the top part of a picture, fold it over, and pass it on to the next person to draw the middle. But I didn't borrow it from anywhere. And I don't mind you sharing it around.

Your computer seems to be having a problem with Imgur. Or possibly just with me.

   Blurb: Joseph "Joe" Miller showed true devotion to his workplace at a nuclear power plant when it had a meltdown... and some serious stubbornness. Given nuclear powers by the radiation, he currently functions as a super-anti-hero, with particularly brash and destructive methods of defeating villains. A controversial figure indeed, but we must admit that he is a hero.
   
   (hS, is it okay if I introduce this game to my friends? I'll give you credit, or give credit to whoever came up with it if you found it somewhere else. Did you find it or did you create it?n I can't remember.)

I do remember that my dad has completed WAS, but I don't know how far I am in it. I do, however, know that I'm at least signed up. I think. Sunspots haven't been good lately so I haven't done much ham radio while the conditions aren't good.

-Twistey

But I reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreally want to see it! Please send a link asap! :D

-Twistey

But I'm glad somebody caught what I was going for! Steampunk is indeed what I intended with the catchphrase. :D

-Twistey

Audition sent! I don't have the best audio setup, but I hope it's okay.
