    Snippets

    Jason sat at his drawing table, deep in thought. The paper taped to the desk had two body forms sketched on it. A rough idea based on the two women laying on the bed. Marlene had traded Jason's dress shirt for a long nightgown. She had left on Jason's winnings. He had removed her shoes for the sake of her comfort. Beth was stretched out on Jason's pillow, the back of one hand lay across her forehead. She was still in her blouse and slacks, only having removed her shoes due to being on the bed. A bowl half-empty of popcorn rested on each nightstand, along with partially drank glasses of fruit juices. The TV flickered with the movie Beth had wanted to watch with Marlene. “TV off,” he said quietly. The room went dark except for his desk lamp. Standing up quietly, Jason made his way to the side of the bed. Gently, he adjusted the covers over Marlene. He bent over, brushed hair out of his way, and kissed his wife on her cheek. In the dim light she smiled and nestled into her pillow. Moving to a dresser Marlene had claimed, Jason opened a drawer and flipped through the clothes within. He pulled out shorts and shirt. He closed the drawer silently. Circling around to Beth, Jason looked down on her and smiled. Beth obviously wasn't going home tonight. Reaching out, he touched Beth's slacks. Crimson light lit the room. Jason switched her slacks with the shorts he had been holding. Then he did the same for her blouse and the shirt. He draped those over the back of a chair where she could easily find them when she awoke. Turning back to Beth, he shifted the collar of the shirt to the side, touched the strap of her bra and disappeared it. Beth shifted in her sleep. Jason gently pulled the covers over Beth. He added her bra to the pile on the chair. Returning to his chair, Jason clicked off the lamp. He had begun on the bed beside Marlene, holding her close while the women chatted before the movie started. Shortly after it had started, Jason's phone rang. He had answered and the conversation started at the other end led him out into the hall. When that conversation had ended, almost immediately Jordan Kendall had called. “What do you think?” Jordan had begun without preamble. “I trust her,” Jason had responded. “She's asking a lot.” “True, but it's Huntress.” Jordan sighed. “Damn it, I hate being on the sidelines. What about Solitaire?” “I trust her when I'm the one paying her.” “Neither of us is paying her.” “That's kind of my point. I need to call Knight and set up a training exercise. Hazard pay on top of it. Huntress won't do any permanent damage, but Solitaire might. And I don't like my people using training loads in this kind of situation.” “I feel the same. Brie has Cavalier ready. She's going to work with security. She can make it look real enough for Solitaire and set up her armor to be disabled by Huntress. What do you make of her reasons?” “Virgo. No love lost there. I would love to see that match on pay-per-view. I need to make those calls.” Jason hung up.
  2. Below Power Man is Plastic Woman. Not sure who is behind Flash.
  3. There was a story about Iceman, I forget the details, but he was on a college campus. There was an ice sculpture display of heroes and villains. The guy that was looking for him passed 2 Iceman sculptures in the display. Then Bobby attacked.
  4. ...and had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
  5. Turn off email notifications in your profile.

  11. In my DragonQuest world, I have a gnome named Orvald. He's a procurer that tends to hang out in taverns. PC adventurers are sometimes offered jobs to procure for him.
  12. That was what Simon said, if I recall rightly.
  13. Flash is dated and dying. It doesn't even come pre-installed anymore.
  14. As long as you complete the encounter to the GM's satisfaction, yes, you got xp for non-combat victories. Puffin's stuff?
  15. Absolutely nothing happened in Sector 83 by 9 by 12 today. I repeat, nothing happened in Sector 83 by 9 by 12.
  16. Almost all fictional superhero worlds' cities have real-life counterparts. It only makes sense that somewhere along the line that one of those counterparts would be destroyed.
