WHY YOU GOTTA BREAK A BROS HEART
Wasn't Team Thunderbolts on the way to the Baxter building with the Hood's corpse in tow? That's what I remember the Punisher doing I think. Shadow jack had just had a team briefing with Hill but that may have been a retcon from when all three of us were supposed to hit her up in chat and afterwards we may have all been put on the same heli boat.

Hey Sion, I was going to post, but am not sure where Shadowjack is. Last I remember he was with Black Cat and the Punisher on the helicarrier speeding toward the Red Hulks, right?

As for Zaya, should I just have her show up somewhere or did you an entrance in mind? (I don't care either way, honestly, just want to get her back in!)

Just have her show up in Jersey, it's turning into the most happenin' place. At this rate, Clint and Simon will probably get roped into helping Jen serve the God Squad that summons in person, so the more the messier!

I think Shadowjack was still meeting with Hill? Or he just left. But I don't know if I remember him being on Hood corpse transport duty.

Oh, poo poo, that's right! The Baxter building is the only place that you can get that briefcase to open up and see what's in the box


How does our wonderful Black Cat player feel about maybe givin' Felicia the shield? She'd be as good at angles and suchlike as Captain America....

Gonna wait on Shadowjack post then and Black Cat taking up the shield (this must happen).

As for Zaya, having her waltz into the middle of the Hulkmania works for me if it's cool with you, Sion. She was on the lam with Herc and Iron Fist at one point anyway, be nice to have a reunion.

Aye that would probably fall under the heading of (don't steal) "anything too important" so it's spiney bullety time for us once she opens that bag. Or it could be a knockoff made of vibranium or something right?

Well- Captain America is (maybe) in space right now and that means he's entirely out of the game. So is another Captain, come to think of it.

Then again, if you were going to make a knock-off of the shield, why would you not just go with something cheap and lovely like Adamantium? Vibranium is hella expensive.

Just a heads up though: Cat isn't carrying that case. She left it with the Tinkerer, for safe keeping, and went off on this crazy Thunderbolts scheme to hopefully find an opportunity to steal the password/Tony's voice override, so they could get it open. drat Stark, and his nano-machines. Anyway, what I was thinking, since Songbird showed up, is that she could help get the thing open with her super voice, if we could only get the right override phrase.


Edit: Damnit, Randall! I was saving that joke.

Super Voice could work but then again you could try taking it to the Baxter building. See if there's someone there smart enough to get that thing open...

From Cat's perspective, the fewer people know about it, the better. I mean, the whole reason she has the case is because she thinks it's full of whatever the hell Extremis is, and wants to sell it to the mysterious party that hired her to swipe it.

Obviously what Sion is implying is you need to get a Richards to help. Time for Black Cat to become Valeria's favorite babysitter! She probably won't tell her dad about your stolen briefcase. Probably.

also sorry for stealing your joke :ohdear:

Well, yeah, but Reed is the kind of guy who's either going to be incredibly easy to con, or perfectly impossible to con, and Cat doesn't want to out-right ask someone like him to help her open a top-secret ultra-tech briefcase that she stole from Tony Stark. Reed's pro reg, and this is definitely reg business. She can't have him narcing on her. Though befriending Valeria is a good idea. Everything is forgiven, friend!

Well, we still got six people with two characters each. I think we're set for the time being. (Still, shame about the lack of road trips.)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, Randall: Do you want to post next? Because I was waiting until you posted to post next and I just want to make sure we're not in one of those "both people are waiting for the other person" loops.

I briefly considered making some sort of reference to Bobbi being alive and with Clint instead, as part of Universe "Only The Good Runs", but then I decided no, let's just go for really sad Hawkeye instead. At least Secret Invasion is right around the corner! :unsmith:

Also, I'm happy to continue in-flight conversation or arrive at Hank's, Lurks. Up to you (or Sion).

Good runs would include Thunderbolts in which saving Mockingbird's ghost was a major arc, so the continuity of the Only Good Runs universe is preserved.

This conversation works better if we're both kind of miserable anyway. Anyway, I'll get a response to you up soon. I figure there's no harm in keeping this conversation going until Sion sets things up at the tower.

Like RandallODim, I let this slip due to work, life issues (good stuff like getting to hang out with my wife and also finally hitting the gym, but you know, still time-occupying), and trying to keep my other games going. Sorry to all and sundry. :(

That said, I am ready to catch up and jump back in if the game is still on! And if it's not, well, dammit, I'll stick around while one of us gets the crazy idea to take the reins and keep it going anyway. This game has gone on so long and we've done so much that I refuse to let Mark Millar's Civil War have more permanence than our version.

All right, if no one else steps up by Friday, I will volunteer to at least run us through the Red Hulk slugfest and try to find some sort of hook to get people set up for the next scene. Though fair warning: I am jonesing to have Doomwhipper make his triumphant debut.

Honestly, if it comes to that I think I'm going to drop out. Not because I don't want to play, but because I feel like having a one-person X-Force angle here is part of why there's been so much burnout lately. Just one less thing to worry about, y'know?

I'd be almost tempted to pitch in for something like that. Really hate to see this game flatline. :(

We do need a permanent GM. The more I think about it, it doesn't make sense for me or anyone to just jump in to wrap up a scene and hope someone else decides to continue. Especially since DI had a clear vision for where things were going and I'm sure a lot of the set-up so far ties into plot stuff we don't know.
