Snapping out of his daze, Nycto answers Fenris "Sure, man, for as long as you'd like."Sometimes I forget these guys have an hard life like mine "If any of you guys need a place, you can also come."

"Hm? Nah, I haven't been run out of the dorm rooms yet," Nyx replies, "Javier, mind giving me a lift?"

Nycto will spend the time doing several things:
1st - looking at news regarding officer mumbles (I believe its his name)
2nd - Searching news and leads about strange Nova deaths (like the one of Mamma B.), articulating the information with the Doorman (if the kids answers the mails)
3rd - Helping Fenris with any endeavor he needs (like the anti-nova device)

"Huh? Uh, sure," Javier answers, distractedly as he tries to make a discreet exit. "But I'm telling you right now, I'm off duty. There's so much as an old lady being mugged, you can take care of it, I'm checkin' out."

Sorry for the delay. For the sake of making things flow better, please don't worry too much about any time line, implied or otherwise. Also if you listed multiple things to do, I'll handle them one at a time so don't think I forgot about it.

Javi: Your first couple days "off" are spent living it up as the hero of your circle of friends, which has grown considerably now that everyone knows what a badass you are. You ask around about Johnny Smalls but everyone just laughs and says he'd be a * fool to throw down with you and your crew again. Looks like he's gone as far as anyone's concerned.

One late morning you're up nursing a hangover from last night's celebrations when you notice a news report flash across the screen: Tony Gucchi, aka Ten Chin Tony, who up until last night was in critical condition in the burn center, up and walked out this morning, fully healed. Looks like he pummelled a few hospital staff and security on his way out. Police are searching for him and another man who was seen leaving with him.

A security camera image pops up, Ten Chin's fat butt hanging out of a hospital gown, and a balding, thin man at his side. Johnny Smalls.

Nycto: Your phone rings a few days later. Answering it, you find it's Officer Grumbles' lawyer. He tells you things aren't looking so good, the district attorny is * bent on prosecuting the man for first degree murder and local hero-cop Captain Marshall is lined up as a witness against him.

He asks if you can meet with him at his office later this morning to go over your side of the story and see if there's an angle he can work to free his client.

Fenris: For now you stay at Nycto's place, enjoying being off the streets and in the company of someone who seems comfortable in your presence for the first time in weeks (other than Sarah).

You check on her at her diner; she's obviously worried about your recent heroics, but the late night regulars all seem to be warming to you quickly, each wanting to hear blow-by-blow accounts of your battle with the bots. You ask her over a plate of pancakes if she's had anymore trouble with those thugs but she says no, she never heard from them again.

Harrison: You try repeatedly to contact the Doorman, leaving messages repeatedly. He finally calls you back, an edge of irritation in his voice at being disturbed. You ask if he knows what happened with the robots and he says he has no clue and seems to grow more agitated that you're asking him. You hang up before things get heated with the emotional young man.

You go online and start reading about the robot attack and learn that Dr Mortinson was released from police custody the same day as the attack, the district attorny saying that she probably won't be charged but will most likely face some costly civil law suits from the victim's families. Reading another story, you see that her company, NovaTech Inc, released a statement saying that a line of malicious code was introduced into the construction bot's programming that triggered the attack. The FBI is helping with the investigation.

Nyx: You get to spend some time hanging out with Norm, repeating your battle story endlessly to your friend who is enthralled with the idea of being a superhero. You go to check your bank account one afternoon to find a direct deposit has gone through for $1500. What the *? It's from the NSA!

You go to call Mike when the door to your dorm slams open, Mike, aka the Doorman, comes walking in. You try to ask about the deposit but he tosses a package at you with a bit too much force. He tells you they're your NSA credentials, badges, and he wants you to get them to the other guys. When you ask about the money, he just shrugs.

"You work for the NSA, right? They pay their agents moron."

You try to point out that, no, you don't really work for the NSA but he just laughs. ID and bank account seem to think otherwise.

"That is so awesome!" exclaims Norm who's lost interest in playing his xbox and is beaming at you from the couch.

"Sure." answers Nycto to the lawyer.

When the agreed time nears, he teleports directly there, to the lawyer office.

"Maldita sea," Javier curses under his breath at the news footage. He makes a few phone calls to his contacts to pass the word along that Smalls is still very much in the house.

Grabbing a half-empty bottle for the requisite "hair of the dog", he ponders. Smalls is not the kind to forgive and forget, so there's a good chance he'll be gunning for the guys.

He scrabbles through his stuff for a cell phone with a number he can use. The problem with using burners is never having a decent address book stored in the * things.

After some digging, he manages to connect with the group (probably either Nycto or Harrison) and fills them in on the situation.

"So good ol'Smalls has retrieved his minion...That's Fantastic news Javi... "
Harrison says on the phone
"Maybe we should investigate how that happened?
We've got no clues about Ten Chin's own recovery abilities but I can't help wondering if Smalls forced our friend 'Stitch' cooperation...
Smalls could be an even greater pain in the * with his gang going on killing spree with a mind-controlled healer on their side to fix their gunshot wounds... "

"Yeah," Alex replies, "I'll have to get a hold of the guys," he points to the television, "Careful, Raiders are kicking your *, Norm."

Nycto:
Fenris offers to escort him to the lawyers office if he wants it.

Javier:
Fenris is concerned with the apperent healing ability. "Call me when you've got their address."

Nyx:
Fenris meets him to collect the ID. He asks if Nyx can receive Fenris's payment too and give it to him in cash. Fenris doesn't have a bank account. The Doorman seems to like Nyx.

Nycto replies to Javier "I've some things to take care regarding officer Grumbles judgement. Follow Stich's card information, and if you find anything call me to the action. I'll be there in a second."

To Fenris he says "Sure man. Lets get moving. You saw the action too, and can help the guy."

Volsung · Post by **Volsung** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:04 pm

Harrison suggests to Javier that they could check Stitch's situation together.

"Stitch? Oh, you mean that old guy who was there when the tin can brigade went berzerko?" Javier asks with little interest. "Sure. Why not? Am I having to drive again?""

Fenris cleans himself and washes his only set of clothes before saying that he is ready. He brings his new government ID as his only form of identification.

He starts collecting another survival bag of gear for the road just in case. Fenris lost his last one in Mama B's bombed house.
