That was a little easier than Nic expected. Looks like the Conservation of Ninjitsu is in full swing here. Hopefully now he can head down and pick up his Derringer. He'd like to get out of here before the next squad comes with rocket launchers or a tank or something. Apparently they know him well enough to recognize him on sight, and considering he just killed their SIC yesterday, they probably have all the reason to hunt him to the ends of the earth. All the more reason for leaving the city, he supposes. Then he and Joel can be ROAD WARRIORS, maybe fend off agents in a high-speed chase or...

... huh. Joel looks a little depressed.

Put a hand on her shoulder. "You did what you had to do. But its okay, because you've upgraded to mauve shirt. You're not a mook anymore. I mean, there is that redemption equals death thing going against you, but that usually would have hit by now. C'mon, we need to keep moving."

>>49269
"You didn't recognize any of them, did you?"

"N-nah," she stammers. "The only guy I really knew on the force was Bubbles. W-well, Bubbles and Victor, but Victor w-was an asswipe. Really. F-fuck Victor."

>>49266
>Reassure her that she's not a red shirt.
Nicolas puts a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, Joel. You're a mauve shirt now."

"A what?" she asks.

Hrm. Nicolas will have to introduce her to TVTropes.
"You know," Nicolas says. "One of them. A grunt working for a supercorp. You were sick of that, right?"

"Yeah," she says. "I-it's just a bit weird, is all..."

Nicolas nods.

>>49265

Here's a surprise for you: CZ has some very interesting conceptions about brofisting. Something about secret handshakes, the illuminati, and the cheese grater industry, Nicolas stopped paying attention.

He does manage to thank Nicolas and Joel for their assistance, though, even if Nicolas IS trying to eat his brain.

Roxie also approaches Nicolas. "Your gun." She says.

"Yes?" asks Nicolas.

"It's very shiny."

...

"I like that."

She deposits the weapon in Nic's hands and walks on by.

>Check Doobie for regeneration?
It... seems to be dead, Jim. Shot must have put it below -10 HP. We're talking a x3 Crit using massive damage rules here. That thing's pretty dead.

Ignometics might be interested in it, though.

We have no time for dropping off the doobie at Ignometics! Besides, I'm sure they prefer live specimens, and we won't get an affluence boost from a dead specimen.

Let us proceed out of town, so that we may get out of here before Kara summons that giant robot that we'll have to boss fight.

>Let the doobie be. We need to GTFO.
Yes, better to do this. We're on the home stretch, we really need to get out as soon as possible. Nicolas decides that now is the prime time for Ging TFO.

He and Joel arrive in an alleyway across from the burning building. Nicolas inches his way towards the street, keeping an eye out for MIB and other vehicles, but nothing approaches.

Eventually, he gets a glimpse of the street outside. There's a lone MIB sweeper standing in front of a butcher shop. Nicolas' car, as well as one of the MIB cars, is parked nearby.

The person looks vaguely familiar. Nicolas can tell from his glasses that he's a bottom-rung Sweeper, but his gun doesn't seem to be standard issue. Actually, it looks like it's pretty deep in the heavy weapons category. Nicolas thought only Scrubbers had those?

"Oh shit," whispers Joel. "Nic, that's Bubbles."

"Bubbles?" Nicolas asks.

"Bubbles. H-His real name's Charles, but we call him Bubbles because he's chewing gum all the time."

"This is the guy you knew from the MIB, right?"

"Right. He's a sweeper like I am- er, was, but... actually, he's very overqualified for the job. I mean, very."

"... how very?"

"Well, um. He'd probably be a Special Agent or Scrubber by now, if he didn't keep b-breaking procedure. W-we're not allowed to chew gum at work, see."

Wow. That's stupid. That's... very stupid. Nicolas can't believe how stupid that is. Nicolas can't believe how backwards the organization is. THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. Mooks are the guys who go down in one hit, Supervisors are the tough-as-hell baddies. That's how it's supposed to work! None of this taking down Victor in one shot and then being stopped by a mook with a grenade launcher bullshit. God, Nicolas cannot believe how non-Tropes-compliant this goddamn evil organization is.

At least they're snappy dressers.

"I-I'd rather not kill him if we don't have to," says Joel, "but I'm ready to do it. He's... very stupid and loyal. Like a big dog or something. I-I don't think he'd join us."

Right. It looks like he hasn't detected the two of us yet. We need a plan!

Ask Joel if she's a good enough marksman to hit the hand Bubbles is holding the gun with and nothing else.

>>49337
Maybe we can talk our way through this. Joel and Bubbles here worked together, maybe she can convince him that she only quit because we had her at gunpoint, but now she's got us as a prisoner. Even if that doesn't get us past him, it might get us close enough for a clear shot.

It seems we forgot to tell Joel about the crystal.

>How much would unloading the grenade launcher drain you?
Probably not that much, come to think of it. It's just a small telekinetic gesture to pull the trigger.

Main problem is that Nicolas would rather not blow up his own car.

Just to be clear, Nicolas can do much more today than he could yesterday, as he's gotten more used to his powers. Both illusion-wise and telekinesis-wise, he should be able to do significantly larger feats than he did at the mayor's office.

Like, yesterday was basically Prestidigitation, and today he's casting first level spells. You get the idea.

that grenade launcher works on a revolver type function. use your telekinese to jam it between cycles, then have joel disable him, killing only if necissary.

Create illusion of a GIANT ROBOT ON FIRE running down the street towards Bubbles. Anyone in their right mind would flee such a sight.

>Enter street area under the pretenses of being an MIB hostage.
Alright. Joel leads Nicolas out into the street at gunpoint. Sometime during the planning process, the sky has clouded over, and it's begun to rain. Bubbles notices their approach.

"Excuse me! You two. Stop. I need to..." he pauses, and then tilts his head a few degrees. "... Joel?"

>Pretend that you were made to leave at gunpoint.
Joel puts on her best game face. Her charm's only average, but with luck, any slip-ups will roll off Charles' thick skull. She takes a shot at it. "B-Bubbles," she says, mustering as much professionalism as she can. "I got him. T-This asshat. He... took me away. At gunpoint. And interrogated me!" She prods him in the back. So many things wrong with this. Like why she's not beat up, or why she's wearing a brand new suit that's clearly not hers. She's going to have to count on him being pretty thick...

Bubbles stares at her dryly and pops his gum. "Huh. I was wondering where you went. Said you threw a hissy at boss and quit, and... I thought you had become disloyal. That would have been a shame, because... I'd totally have to kick your ass. Even if you've been a good partner." He peers down at Nicolas. "But why would he interrogate you? He had just shot our second in command, you think he'd be going into hiding."

That... is an unusually intelligent observation for Bubbles. He failed to notice all the other problems with her story, but he did wonder why the hell Nicolas would bother abducting a random sweeper. Joel... hesitates. She doesn't have an answer prepared, crap!

This would be a good time for Nicolas to jump in.

Nic, trip and faceplant so she has a clear shot on him.

>>49566
Do this, but Telekinetic jerk the grenade launcher out of his hand on the way down. He's not holding it ready to fire, if you pull towards his thumb it should come free.

Try to grab it on your 'accidental' fall down.

Well, we had to find someone who knew about the inner workings of the MIB, didn't we? And she looked like an easy person to capture.

For some reason, this is the first thought that crosses Nic's mind. He lunges forward and yanks the grenade launcher out of the startled man's hands.

When Nicolas looks up, Bubbles has pulled two heavy revolvers from his coat. It's obvious that he's been wounded by the submachinegun fire; for some reason, he's still standing. The wind kicks up, and the rain splashes harder against his face.

"You shouldn't have done that."

>>49617
You have a grenade launcher. You can't miss at this distance. I normally wouldn't have to put two and two together, but we're going for the Derringer Classy achievement, so we can't shoot him point blank for an auto kill.

Those guns of his are revolvers. Six-shooters. Powerful pistols, but take forever to load, especially in a firefight. There should be a catch behind the cylinder that'll open it up and let all the bullets fall out. Hit that with telekinesis.

She's still standing too, but looks even worse off. He got a solid shot to her shoulder, and she's bleeding heavily. She seems to be still running on adrenaline. She's swapped out the machine pistol for her Glock 17.

Joel's status is HEAVILY WOUNDED.

Nicolas could probably do that. He has no idea how these things work, but he could probably just brute-force jamming it, or at least swerve off Bubble's aim on that gun. However, he can only concentrate on one object at a time, which means he would only be able to jam one gun before Charles could react.

Of course he is. Nothing's dead until you've beaten it into unconsciousness, hacked up the body parts, and burned them in a pyre. However, the important thing is that he's not here anymore, and Nicolas just wants to get the hell out of here.

He's also down one grenade launcher.

>Check self for injury as you hurry Joel and yourself into the car and get moving ASAP. Once you're on the road, use health potion as needed.
Right. Nicolas is MODERATELY WOUNDED. His bulletproof bullet-resistant suit and undercover vest served him quite well.

Joel's not looking as well-off, though. She's HEAVILY WOUNDED, and will probably need some form of healing, be it conventional medicine or weirdass psychic healing. She's up and moving, though.

Nicolas and Joel climb into the car. Nicolas starts it and gets the hell out of the area. He hands Joel a healing potion, and she accepts it. ... Huh, those things work pretty well. Her wound closes up, and spits out a gross bloody bullet. ... ew. She throws it out the window. "S-sorry about getting blood on your suit, Nic. Didn't think I'd b-be getting shot today."

"It's alright. Really."

Alright, we've got our fake IDs. If CZ's equipment is half as good as it's supposed to be, these should pass inspection at the quarantine border. Is there anything else we want to do in the city before we go to the checkpoint? This will probably be our last time in the city.

Nicolas first finds the quarantine border. Not a problem. He throws a blanket over Mappy and Skimbleshanks, as well as a slew of extra weaponry they're keeping in the back seat. Best not to raise suspicion. Nicolas pulls out his and Joel's false IDs and drives up to the border.

He is, naturally, stopped right at the border. A military officer approaches him, and he rolls down his window.

"Excuse me, sir, but this city is under quarantine. Only members of the armed forces may exit, and to be honest sir, you don't look like the..."

Nicolas hands him the two IDs. He furrows his brow and pushes them into a little card-reader thingie. ... damnit, CZ. This better work.

The thing gives an affirming beep, and he grunts, handing them back. "... well, the cards check out okay," he says. "But you're still suspicious, so I can't let you through just yet. If you're on duty, why aren't you in uniform, and why are you driving a civilian vehicle?"

This would be a good spot for a cover story.

Sounds good. Let's stop off at a gas station to fill up and fill some cans, then get out of here.

And we could tape it to the hood. It will terrify and demoralize all who would stand before us!

Ran into some zombies. Vehicle totalled, uniforms a mess, so you appropriated a new one and switched outfits.

"I'm afraid we couldn't sir. Our ride got trashed by zeds, and our uniforms were contaminated. We thought it most prudent to take the undercover car."

He looks thoughtful for a moment. Nicolas can practically hear the DM rolling a sense motive check.

"Arright, sonny. You're clear."

Oh thank god.

"Thank you, sir."

Say "I just hope they figure out how to get effective artillery fire on call before they send any more poor sons of bitches into that godforsaken place," then drive away.

"Any luck with the artillery?"

"Nah," he says. "That damn crystal keeps intercepting it, and we want to avoid reckless civilian casualties."

Right then. Nicolas rolls up his window. That went pretty well. Onwards! Towards Colorado, and...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Let's see what happens Adept!!MvMGOwL2H3 2009/09/24(Thu)21:59 No. 50658 ID: f4963f

Nicolas' connection to his crystal is getting stronger! But how do his powers improve? That's up to you guys. So get it right, bitches.

Nicolas' crystal currently has two powers: MINOR TELEKINESIS and MINOR ILLUSIONS.

MINOR TELEKINESIS lets him lift Mappy-sized objects with a little effort, and at its fullest extent can let him throw a person, albeit with hella FEEDBACK.

MINOR ILLUSIONS allow Nicolas to create simple visual and audio illusions, and at its fullest extent, could be used to overlay an illusion onto himself, creating a disguise, albeit with hella FEEDBACK.

There are three things we can do:
-Improve to Telekinesis (Moderate)
-Improve to Illusions (Moderate)
or
-Develop a new power at (Minor) level.

Things that Nicolas strains to do now become routine at Moderate level. Essentially, he can throw people-heavy objects around at will with MODERATE TELEKINESIS, or use disguise self at will with MODERATE ILLUSIONS.
New powers begin at the MINOR level, which is about the same level of capability Nic displayed today.

Any votes for a third power should simply be 'NEW POWER'; otherwise specific power choices will be watered down.

So guys. Three options:

TELEKINESIS++?
ILLUSIONS++?
NEW POWER?

Have fun.

As of the time of this posting -

New Power: 6
Telekinesis: 8
Illusion 3

Alright, voting closed! I got a lot more responses than I expected to. Thanks for voting, people. <3

It looks like Telekinesis beat out New Power by two votes, so we'll go with that.

See you next chapter!

You are adorable. Remember that.

I would lick your tiny face.
