Dazzle's comment to Scar

 

[The Jeffinator]

Oh, haha. I haven't caught up on the IC yet. I think the last post I read was yours, Guy. I will admit, I was slightly annoyed when you had a bunch of the genomorphs outside when in reality they had all ran into the ball room following Superboy, but its a minor thing, so I'm not worried about it. We can just say Scar intercepted some of them before they got inside.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Okay, I read through the new posts, and I just wanted to point a few things out -- I had edited my post at about 3am to include Nightwing pulling Batgirl from the rubble, and then later thatmmorning at 8am, Remec posted Gar also pulling her from the rubble. Not a problem, you probably read my post the night before and I hadn't yet included the bit about Batgirl. I'll edit that out of my post, no problem. However I did also notice that Beast Boy entered the building twice. In your first post, Remec, you had him enter, and then in the second one he was suddenly outside and then entered again, supposedly for the first time.

These are minor things and not a big deal, but I still wanted to point them out.

 

[GuyRP]

Rick was fighting them outside, from the rear, at the end of my first post. The second post follows from there.

I can do a rewrite and put him just inside the building. No big deal. I appreciate continuity too.

I thought your post meant from the rear once they charged inside. It didn't say that he had caused them to stop running inside and to remain outside to fight him. But there is no need to edit, we can roll with it.

The nanites that compose the dazzles induce in Dazzle a negative reaction to the presence of REACH technology. Earlier in this thread, Jeff suggested the technology might have something to do with General Zod trying to escape the phantom zone, or something along those lines. My response was that determining the origin of the nanite technology in the future might make an interesting story arc, since Dazzle is unaware of the origin of her powers, and actually more than slightly apathetic about the whole matter. As far as she's concerned, her powers work, and they help bring in the shinies, so she's happy.
Anyway, the nanites use the olfactory sense for the negative reaction, since it has a direct connection to the brain. It's written up in the description of Dazzle in the team's database.

That's so fetch!

So thoughts on confronting Psimon and Superboy? Didn't know if this was suppose to be the first encounter between Superman and Superboy in this universe. And I thought Psimon would be Miss Martian's territory, though if he's going all Dark Sith lord, perhaps Lady K, infused as she is with the Paradis de Vitejie (Insert French accented "huh huh huh"), could make a run at him.

But again, there's Superboy running around. And I figure the power ratio between him and Lady K is about the equivalent of Superman vs Wonder Woman, with the same ending results.

Also, just on a side note, this is how I envision Retired Gotham Detective and Insurance Recovery Specialist James Fields to look like:

Just a random ending fact

 

[Sean Renaud]

For the record teh power gap between Wonder and Supes is really whatever the author feels like at any given time. Plenty of continuities show them as if not complete equals close enough and more than a few suggest that Wonder Woman is ultimately more dangerous. It turns out being a warrior trained to kill from the time she could walk vs a farmboy who spends all of his time deliberately trying not to kill means the skill gap is more important than the raw strength gap. This is WELL demonstrated in much of the New 52 stuff and if you just like the cartoons Justice League: War.

I believe this is Superboy's first appearance as we are following the Young Justice Cartoon in extremely broad strokes. Like instead of us invading Cadmus, Cadmus invaded us and instead of the sidekicks being invited to the Hall of Justice there is a big party but still if you have any questions default to YJ unless specified otherwise.

There will probably be some changes to the Light if we ever get far enough to give a shit about them.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Yeah, this is Superboy's first appearance. I tweaked his origins to have Psimon be the one who telepathically programs the genomorphs at Cadmus. And the membership of the Light is not set in stone yet, but I was picturing them being merely the leading council of a very large organization -- like maybe the Illuminati. The Light of the Illuminati -- a council of seven. And hidden in the shadows, the Dark of the Illuminati -- a trio of mysterious partners. These ten people are the most influential members of the organization, and they have hundreds of sleeper agents that have infiltrated the governments of at least a dozen world powers in North America, Europe, and Asia. They also have scattered cells of operatives and allegiances with several organized crime syndicates, such as the American Mafia, the Yakuza, the Chinese Triads, and the Mexican drug cartels.

I'm thinking maybe the binding force for these massively interwoven alliances is the fear of aliens taking over Earth. The Reach Invasion scared a lot of people, and then other aliens claim to be heroes and help form the Justice League. Maybe a lot of people think the JLA and their connection to alien organizations such as the Green Lantern Corps will see Earth ultimately overrun by non-humans, a threat people like Lex Luthor, G. Gordon Godfrey and Queen Bee would easily be against. So it makes sense that they've spent the last decade constructing this pro-human underground society. And if they do find themselves ally with any non-human in the short term, they likely plan to betray them in the long term.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The only gap in that being various levels of not crazy. I'm really not familiar with Queen Bee outside her Young Justice appearances. Lex seems over all to be pretty cool with Aliens. His (and I might point out damn good) issue with supes is that at any given time there is absolutely no plan for what to do if he goes rogue.

Still sounds good.

Yeah, minor is true, but annoying that I did that...so I adjusted that first post so he stayed outside the whole time and entered the way I said in the follow-up. I think the Batgirl gaff happened like you said, I saw the first posting thought about it for several hours, and came in with a post without rereading what was there, just anything new since my previous visit.

I will make more of an effort to reread and proof for continuity before submitting in the future.

Well, I was at fault for not announcing here in the OOC that I had edited my post. I PMed Lily to let her know, but did not announce it here, and since you had already read my post, there was no reason to believe I would have changed it beyond grammar corrections. So this one is on me, lol.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Honestly until it was introduced they were brought in by truck there was no way of knowing how many of them there were. I assumed there were still some outside working to get in like girls at a Justin Beiber concert.

Anyway who are we missing post wise and we don't all necessarily have to go once between major changes or only once. That's really just to prevent the RP from really running away.

Well, in the YJ cartoon the Light seems to be very pro-human -- or rather, pro-Earth -- and planned to betray the Reach. In the case of the RP, Lex is probably afraid of being over-powered and out-maneuvered by all these aliens they have just discovered in the last decade. So for his own sense of security -- and his lust for power -- he helps seed the world's most powerful governments with human supremacists. Ultimately he wants to make Earth a major galactic player to intimidate aliens from attempting to invade again. He and the rest of the Light likely envision a future where Earth is the center of the galaxy and humans reign supreme. One could say they are literally "racist."

But that is still far off and won't be set in stone until we get closer to it.

Well, I did mention the semi truck in my first post, and I just said dozens because I wanted to keep it open and not specify an exact number. The genomorphs followed Superboy through the hole in the lobby he made and into the ball room because their driving telepathic command from Psimon was to follow Project Kr into the party and starting attacking anything in sight until the Manta soldiers appeared.

Dick's pondering was brought to an abrupt stop as he suddenly heard frantic chatter through his ear-piece followed by Batman trying to calm down whoever was panicking. There was a mention of monsters coming out of a semi truck, and a second later Dick heard a thundering boom followed by the sound of shattering glass and wood. He ran towards one of the doors to the ball room and looked out to see a gaping hole through the outside wall in the lobby of the hotel, and standing there looking at the terrified desk clerk was what appeared to be a younger Superman in a white body suit.

This Superboy looked angry and was about to strike the clerk when Nightwing flung a wingblade at him. A moment later, the boy was lunging at Dick with incredible speed, and then rammed into him, sending him flying across the room and into a group of people. Then chaos ensued as hordes of gray-skinned, red-eyed monsters of varying sizes poured into the room and began attacking anyone in sight.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Oh, and I forgot to quote this part of my post:

Shit! thought Dick as he climbed out from the group of people and pulled himself to his feet. There must be dozens of them! Unbeknownst to him, Psimon was sitting in the semi truck outside controlling the monsters and the Superboy though a psychic connection.

 

[Sean Renaud]

True enough.

 

[The Jeffinator]

I drew this up real quick to help form an image. Perhaps I should do this for each combat situation from the get-go so it's easier to follow it.

[Sean Renaud]

Eh. Granted you didn't say anything about nightwing moving that was an assumption on my part but I still would have thought the fight was taking place in the lobby.

That said the visual aid is nice and probably wouldn't hurt a whole lot the big issue being eventually where people are could get a bit annoying to try and keep track of. For the moment I'll take the blame on this since I'm everywhere but so are KF and F and Supes could be if he so chose.

REgardless I think we got this.

 

[GypsyGirl84]

Jeff, if you have no objections, based on discussions and enlightenment by Sean, I'd like to take a crack at a Lady K/Superboy dustup. I can post it this evening, with the caveat that it be completely rewritten to go with the flow of the plot.

 

[The Jeffinator]

Go ahead Gypsy, but keep in mind that he was grappling with Superman in my post, so you'll need to write in a reason for them to stop fighting first. Maybe have Superman knock the boy unconscious for a moment, then he rushes off to save someone who is about to get eaten, and then Lady K spots the boy getting back up and confronts him.

 

[The Jeffinator]

And yeah, Sean, in my post I tried to portray Nightwing as looking out through a door that was propped open and seeing Superboy standing in the lobby. Dick was still in the ball room.and flung a wingblade through the doorway towards Superboy, who then lunged at him, through the door, and rammed into him, sending him deeper into the ball room and into a group of party guests. Then the genomorphs poured in through the hole in the lobby and into the ball room.
