I miss Omnipolis.

Desperation often makes a weak man strong and a slow man fast, and today is no exception. The sole remaining Tekagi security man -- the one who reduced the Conductor from one of Omnipolis' most courageous heroes to a broken bleeding heap on the tarmac -- has seen his employer's grand schemes crumble and his comrades fall like autumn leaves.

Hey gang -- is everyone ready for the next chapter? I know I've slacked like shit, but I don't wanna progress unless we have everyone posting; it's too hard to keep stuff going if we don't have enough participation. If we're good, post a reply and I'm on it. If ya wanna just let it die, no harm -- so be it.

Again, "Adventure Boy" is the first to react, his adolescent synapses afire with raging bio-potentiality. Bounding forward, charred scraps of clothing and strawberry locks trailing behind him, he uses his transhuman strength to wrench the hood of the stretch limo off. Curling it up as a bothered husband might roll up the evening paper to swat a ( Read more... )

With his Bio-Potentialized speed, "Adventure Boy" is the first to move. Even with their aggression and speed, the Tekagi thugs cannot match the awesome power of his electrically enhanced mind and body! Leaping into the air like some sort of golden waterbug, O'Malley flies up and over Gouka's head, crashing into the side of the limo. The sleek, ( Read more... )

It all happens almost too fast even for the Junkheap's photoelectric eyes to see. The burly security chief Akinori twists his fist in a clearly prearranged signal, and the result is a blur of action: the four goons leap up onto the hood and trunk of the limo with startling speed and martial skill, drawing lethal-looking firearms as they jump; and ( Read more... )

Okay, motherfuckers. I know this is at least 90% my fault, but it's time to open up a freeze-dried packet of AssWhip on this scenario. We're back in business, and some key shit is about to happen, so right now, YOU'RE EITHER IN OR OUT. FOR KEEPS! (Gratuitous Maltese Falcon reference for calamityjon)When we last left the Outcasts, they had decided that the ( Read more... )

"Fellas," Adventure Boy almost squeaks with his breaking voice in excitement and frustration, dusting off his tattered clothes in the still settling wreckage of the hotel, "I hate to be anything but a straight-shooter, but this bizness has me all in a tizzy ( Read more... )

Inside his opulent mansion on Omnipolis’ swank north side, the Conductor calls in a favor with one of the local DMV’s computer operators (the guy is a fan of Vivaldi’s from way back, and Erich Mahler had arranged for him to get free tickets to the OSO’s premiere of The Four Seasons). After a lengthy search, his source reports that the van in which ( Read more... )

Susumu Akinori is a giant of a man, towering over Elasto the way that the Junkheap towers over Akinori himself. A hard-faced, oak-thick man in his early 50s, the VP of Security for the Tekagi Corporation squints into the sun and sighs impatiently as the two heroes hold court in the parking lot of the Hotel Caroline. He seems to be irritated with ( Read more... )
