Silverback(a.k.a Tim Grebowitz) Tim rumbles a thank you, although he's careful not to sound cheerful. He's learned that the receptionist hates Cheer. With an exaggerated yawn, he bends to pick up a brown paper lunch sack he brought in with him. He winces when he opens it. "Bananas," he mutters in baritone, "Chrissakes, that kid won't stop packing me bananas. I told her I like sammiches, I like chips, I like apples, I like everything. Everything but Bananas." While eating his thoughtfully packed lunch, he glances around the room, wondering if he should bother introducing himself the the unconventional group around him, and decides against it. It's rude to talk with your mouth full. pre:Yamtaggler fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Tim "I'm Tim, nice to meetcha everybody. I don't think anyone's late yet." Tim notices Kat staring sullenly at her rocky meal and grins a bit, putting two and two together. With a tremendous wink, he whispers loudly, "Don't feel too bad kid, I'd rather eat rocks than Burger King too." It's superhero lunchtime.

Tim Tim raises an eyebrow at the new arrival. "Izzat a fact? Well, I suppose you'd need some kind of motivation to put those things into yer mouth." Tim picks up a magazine that he's read at least two dozen times since he applied here. "Anyone know how many people are gonna be on this team?"

Tim - Central Agency At Jeffery's blunt question, he shakes his head and bites back a chuckle. "Listen, if anybody made it this far without Kevlar or Platemail, they probably didn't need it, right?" Nice of him to worry, though. After a while, Tim confirms with a heavy sigh that none of the articles in Legendary Lairs had changed in the slightest from the day before, or indeed the day before that. He'd read the drat thing so many times that flipping through it had become less reading and more muscle memory. He set the magazine down on the table, precisely where he knew he'd find it tomorrow, and surveyed the room to see what had changed. The Devil rolls out more than a few S.A.T. words, which Tim suspects came along with his suit and slick haircut. He briefly considers saying a Hail Mary, but decides against it. It had been a long time since he'd been in a church, and if he said it wrong it might do more harm than good. Besides, if he was here he couldn't be all bad, right? Tim shifts uncomfortably as he notices the Mexican Wrestler (What are those called again?) making every effort not to look at him. Tim is saved from trying to make conversation by a whirlwind of Greek Food in the form of a familiar looking young lady. Where did he know her from again? Was she on the TV? As soon as she said her name, it clicked. She was that girl that leveled a good portion of Cleveland a few years back. Of course, she had Turbo-Woman vouch for her later, saying she was mind controlled and all that, but the media had certainly had a field day with it. Tim couldn't figure out what to think about her past actions, but she had food that wasn't bananas, so she was OK in his book now. "Thanks Julie, I'm Tim by the way, and this spread looks fantastic! My munchkin's practically been force-feeding me bananas, she says that's what monkeys eat, so I'm grateful to try anything else." In between hearty mouthfuls, he turns to Kat. "So, Kat, you said you were workin' on your degree? What are you studying?"

Tim - Central Agency Tim chuckles, "No such luck, I'm afraid. I'm pretty strong, though. Other than that it's kind of a grab-bag. Better senses, regeneration, I can talk to animals, the whole nine yards. Coincidentally, songbirds swear almost constantly" Tim finishes his sentence just as the door creaks open, and as smile creases his face at the sight of their young handler. She was actually the first person he'd met at HIREUS, and was one of the first people he'd talked to after the accident who wasn't afraid of him. Apparently wandering around a superhero temp agency had broadened her little horizons considerably. He opens one of the folders and chuckles. "Say, these are pretty good Molly.

I can jump pretty far, that's how I tend to manage. I could probably carry someone with me, not the most stylish ride, but I'm reliable." Tim is being modest, he could carry everyone in the room.

Tim winces as the Knightly Hero falls to the ground like a noble sack of potatoes. "Hey, it wasn't all that much fun for me either, Kid, that suit of yours pinches something fierce. We need to get you a horse..." He pauses politely for a moment while Sprite spins about scanning the immediate area, "...Or at least a bike." Probably not all that useful, considering the present company, but I've got Ultra-Hearing and Acute Smell with Perception +6

Silverback - Fist National Back of Delaware's Parking Lot Tim sighs a bit. He'd missed his coffee this morning, because "Monkeys don't drink coffee," and the strong scent wafting through the air only served as a bitter reminder. "Well, I don't see or smell anything fishy out here. Maybe we're early?" He caught the scent of coffee again. Ah geeze, it'll only take a second. "Listen, you two keep an eye peeled. I'm gonna go investigate that coffee stand, see if they know anything." Gorilla need coffee badly

Silverback - Outside the Fist National Back of Delaware Tim fights the urge to roll his eyes. At least his 7 year old had an excuse for her ignorance. "I'll settle for a cup of your finest then, boss." He rumbles genially reaching for his wallet, kept in a small black pouch at his waist. Some days more than others, he missed having pants. How would you feel about me using Expertise: Rent-a-Cop +2 to make friends with people in a crappy retail situation? Assuming they aren't Ape-Racist, that is.

Whilst listening with his perfectly sensible ears, he catches on to something the vendor said. "Road work? How long has that been going on? I swear they just can't leave well enough alone sometimes, eh?"

Silverback - Outside the Fist National Back of Delaware Tim nods in polite outrage at the Weiniesmith. Jackhammers today, amirite? "That's just like those bigshots, I bet they can't even here that racket from their cushy offices. Listen, this joe was fantastic, but I gotta run. Maybe get some banana bread for next time, eh buddy?" The ape chuckles at his own joke as he drops a couple bucks in the tip jar and turns around to see... A pink lazergirl floating through the ground and the better part of a Renaissance Faire floating above a manhole cover. "So much for good old gumshoe stuff..." Tim casually knucklewalks up to the commotion, "Don't worry pal, just some routine heroics. With any luck we'll be outta your hair in a few minutes." He rumbles, then as a whispered aside to Estoc/Jefferey "Hey careful kid, you'll put someone's eye out with those things." Sizing up the manhole. Is it big enough, or will I have to seek a Gorillahole?

Silverback - Outside Gorilla Hole Huh, he'd only meant to punch the cover through. He'd have to work on that finesse thing. Looking up from his handiwork, he noticed the workers, appropriately angry. "Listen fellas, I'll be back in a moment to give a full accounting of my actions and the intentions behind them. Right now, I gotta go stop some bank robbers. Don't go away!" And with that stirring speech, Silverback hops into the entrance he neatly made for himself. I've got Lowlight vision! My powers sure are coming in handy today!

Silverback- Some Stank Sewers The collision was not a new thing for Tim, as he often underestimated his bulk. The tortoises, though, provided new insight into his obscene luck with animal-themed transformation. Hell, he was still a primate! "Gentlemen," Tim says, calmly reaching to grab the upended Chelonian, "We're here to stop you from robbin' that bank. Er, back. You know what I mean." I don't understand the combat at all, but I'd like to engage in the grappling. I think I should be halfway decent. Also, I'd answer your questions, but I'm pretty sure I left my empathy box running, so I've really got to run. Yamtaggler fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Apr 19, 2014 |

Silverback - Fighting in the Sewers The shell-shattering crack that followed his hit brought a grimace to Tim's face. Stopping them was all well and good, but he'd feel better after it was over and he could make sure they were still breathing. "You boys still want a fight, or are you willin' to turn yerselves-" Right before he finished extending the olive branch, two swords hit his heavily-modified skull. He didn't feel any pain, but it was the principle of the thing really. drat punk. Ah well, they had shells. They'd probably be fine. Tim is gonna punch Ludovico real good. Or more likely, Tim is gonna miss Ludovico real good. +2 to hit, +14 to damage, melee attack +2 Dodge, +2 Parry, +2 Will, +14 Fort, +14 Toughness

Silverback "Kid," the Super-Powered Ape rumbles, "Don't do that again." After pulling one of the larger swords out of his back with a grunt, Tim winds up for another punch at Ludovico. He was getting really tired of pulling shards of metal out of his person, and the poor tortoise had earned his ire simply by holding a sword. Yeah, I don't really expect to hit anything, but I might as well try! +2 to hit, +14 to damage, melee attack +2 Dodge, +2 Parry, +2 Will, +14 Fort, +14 Toughness

Silverback - Sewers "poo poo!" Tim shouts as his fist flies as far away from the target as possible without punching himself. He'd have to get better about this. As the tunnel fills with smoke, Tim's massive lungs follow suit. After a few seconds of coughing, he pauses for a moment to listen for the tell-tale sound of splashing tortoise feet. Maybe he'd smell something besides smoke and poo poo if he was lucky. Straining his ears, Tim hears the Martial Arts Tortoise beating a hasty retreat. Well, third time's the charm, right? I'm using my Super-Senses to see if I can't be useful in some regards.

Silverback - Bloody Sewers Tim grunts something frighteningly noncommittal as he hoists the prone forms of the tortoises onto his ape shoulders. He had some apologies to make to some city employees, and the fact that he wasn't lying about the bank robbery might make it easier. Tim's going to get the tortoises out of the sewer and then to jail? He hasn't planned that far ahead. He has to apologize first. Also sorry for the delay on my end, sudden move, computer still in a box. Somewhere.

The hair was already growing back under his fingers, but it itched like crazy. "Yer gonna be riding the bus next time, Sir Clanksalot. I think my days as a taxi are over for a while."

Tim The large primate lumbers into the room now that everyone is apparently finished conversing amongst themselves, and his leathery grey features immediately break into a smile at the sight of Molly. Egged on by the tiny team leader, Tim slaps his big monkey hands together a few times, then returns to a more comfortable quadrapedal stance. Good for Kat. "She saved part of the day, anyway.
