in January 10th, 2009 @ 09:49Darn it, I was hoping this would be an RPW or an RRR.
1 – I think it’s an RPG off the idea that every character is a Mary Sue. Come up with a cliche/Mary Sue character, and just start role-playing, I guess.

in January 10th, 2009 @ 10:41(4) GAPAs are not the ones to ask. Vendaval first proposed the idea on the Suggestion Box. Most subsequent comments were on the order of “yes, let’s” without much elucidation.

☼Zinc the sorceress☼
in January 10th, 2009 @ 12:02((I thought this was a superhero RPG without Mary Sues. Anyway, here’s my profile:
Name: Klutz Girl!
Powers: Tripping over things and thereby setting a booby trap, falling onto villains, kicking, slapping, being able to test traps by walking into them, and card tricks.
Weaknesses: Gymnastics, running, football, soccer, basketball, and other things that require coordination.
Costume: I’ll draw one and send it in.Haha. I’ll start.))
I walked into a phone booth, looking around. In a swift motion, I pulled out my cape and costume and tried to put it on. “Erg! Oof!” I gave up, and just went to the nearby oak tree. I poked my index finger into the only knothole on the tree, and a hole opened up beneath me. I fell whooping and laughing, into the secret base of the Muser Justice League!
I walked to the second door to the left, and pressed my left thumb to the fingerpad. “Oh, cake, wrong finger!” I said as the door didn’t whisper open. I tried my right pinky. Nope. Finally I tried my right index finger, and the door finally slid open. I let out a “YEESSS!!!” and walked in. “Hi– OOF!” I started to say to the other person who was sitting at the computer, but I tripped over my own feet.
((Haha, Klutz girl will be fun! Will we call each other by our alter egos, or superhero names?))

in January 10th, 2009 @ 12:09Okay, so a Mary Sue (or, the male version, Gary Stu) is a character that is absolutely perfect, with either no flaws or flaws that can be overcome easily. Edward, anybody?
Hello. My name is Phoenix Martin Lloyd. Or, at least, that’s what I call myself. I have no parents to speak of, along with no memory from the time before I was eight years old. For the one year that I went to traditional school, soon after I arrived at the filthy, disgusting, Nightingale Orphanage, I was often challenged about my name. I was told that it was not ladylike to name oneself after a bird, and that Martin was a name fit for a boy. However, I ignored them, because there is none more capable then I for knowing the name that belongs to me.
I remember with anger the first day I arrived at Nightingale. The sun could barely be seen through the fog that enveloped the city of Corus, peeking out only every once in a while when it thought the clouds wouldn’t notice. I, a small child of 9, had been living alone in the woods for the past eight months, foraging for roots and befriending squirrels that would share acorns from their winter supply. But, ever more frequently lately, the squirrels would look up at my with their sad wide eyes and shake their heads solemnly. They could not spare food for me tonight.
This situation had led me to the main street of Corus, in early winter. I kept my head tilted in wonder the entire time, my fiery red hair filled with tangles and sticks draped down my back. I wasn’t watching where I was going at all, so when I bumped into an elderly lady with an enormous, feathery, purple hat I nearly fell backwards onto the sidewalk.
The lady looked at me in shock, and then her mouth hardened into a line. She and her companion, a middle aged woman dressed all in gray, shot out their arms and grabbed me around the wrist. The first lady drew me near her face, and started to shout: “What do you think you’re doing, street rat? I am a lady, and it is not acceptable for you to walk in my path, much less get in my way and smudge my beautiful new dress!”
Then she paused, looked at me hard, and drew in a breath in surprise. “Look, Mary!” she said to her companion, almost in a whisper. “The rat’s got gold eyes!”
“I’m not a rat,” I said, struggling to make my vocal cords work. “I am a girl, and I would like you to put me down.”
The lady laughed, and tightened her grip. “Put you down for what? So you can go slit some noble’s purse or make off with cabbage from the market? No, no! I will not allow you to further ruin this market and this city with your antics. It will be off to Nightingale with you!”
Nightingale Orphanage was a dismal place. The paint was peeling so badly that there wasn’t really any paint left at all. The other kids were beastly at first, constantly teasing me about my eyes, but I gradually won them to my side with kindness, courage and, may I add, good looks, once I got my hands on a comb.
That day was the beginning of the end for my childhood, and the end of the beginning of my life.

Rainbowstar
in January 10th, 2009 @ 12:35I run to the oak tree, hoping it’s the right one. I am wearing my new superhero outfit, a simple white suit engineered to morph with me when I transform. I have the letter I just got memorized:
Dear Catgirl,
Thank you for your application. You have been accepted into the Muser Justice League. To reach the base, go to the largest oak tree in the garden next to the Hare And The Hedgepig. Poke the knothole. You will fall into the Muser Justice League Base. Go to the second door to the left, and press the fingerpad with your right index finger.
Sincerely,
The Official Random Bunch Of People That Pick SuperheroesWell, if it involves falling, I should probably morph. I check that no one’s watching, and transform into a cat. I dig my claws into the oak tree’s bark, climb up to the knothole, and claw it. A hole opens in the ground, and I let go of the tree and fall into it. As usual, I land on my feet.
I walk up to the keypad. I could reach it by jumping, but I need a finger to operate it. I demorph, press the keypad, and walk in.

Dear Invisible Girl,
Thank you for your application. You have been accepted into the Muser Justice League. To reach the base, go to the largest oak tree in the garden next to the Hare And Hedgepig. Poke the knothole. You will fall into the Muser Justice League Base. Go to the second door to the left, and press the fingerpad with your right index finger.
Sincerely,
The Official Random Bunch Of People That Pick Superheroes
I have to get it right this time. How am I ever going to get anyone to notice me if no one even sees me? I put on a hot pink tanktop that’s so bright it seems to exude HPB energy, white mini shorts with little HPBs on them, and hot pink flip-flops with HPBs in between the toes. Inserting HPB earrings into my ears, I check the mirror to see if my hair has changed yet. It hasn’t, so I apply the hottest pink lip gloss I could find and hot pink eye shadow. That does the trick.
“If the Musers don’t notice this outfit, I’ll be a HPB!” I say to myself. I really wish I could have worn the hot pink jumpsuit and sneakers I usually wear when I need to be noticed, but with the 120-degree weather lately I’d suffocate. I wonder if the Justice League is going to deal with that. What could be causing it?
I face the tree. Here’s a dilemma- if I climb it I’ll go brown instead of hot pink, and hot pink is the only color that will allow anyone to notice me. ((Can some flying superhero step in here?))TASHA
((Hmm, how will we connect the Muser Justice League and the Mary Sues?))

in January 10th, 2009 @ 16:27Demi:

——————————————-
DEMI:
Dear Demi,
Thank you for your application. You have been accepted into the Muser Justice League. To reach the base, go to the largest oak tree in the garden next to the Hare And Hedgepig. Poke the knothole. You will fall into the Muser Justice League Base. Go to the second door to the left, and press the fingerpad with your right index finger.
Sincerely,
The Official Random Bunch Of People That Pick Superheroes
I faced the tree, looking at it. I could climb this, obviously, but poking a knothole? While on the tree? I didn’t want to do that. And I couldn’t fly, because I had tried to during a rainstorm and my wings were wet. Suddenly, I heard a call.
“DEMI!”
I rolled my eyes, knowing who it was.NOELANI:
“DEMI!” I called out loudly. “Is this about the parchment? I can climb this tree, you know.”She rolled her eyes, and I could tell she was trying not to explode.
“Look, if you can’t do it, let me help!”
“NO!” she shouted loudly. “I can climb, Noe! I’m not a baby!”At this, I started yelling back. Even though we had a four-year age difference, right now, our maturity levels had just been switched.

((Maybe you can look around and find them, Invisible Girl!))

in January 10th, 2009 @ 16:34Top of Thread Description (GAPAs, if you don’t like it you don’t have to put it on the top of the thread):
You are either a superhero or a Mary Sue. Mary Sues are being formed into an army by Mr. Joe, the ultimate supervillain. Superheros are in the Muser Justice League. Try to create either the most Mary Sue/Gary Stu-ish character possible, or an un-cliche superhero.

in January 10th, 2009 @ 16:59SFTDP but AvalonGirl’s post wasn’t up when I posted.
INVISIBLE GIRL:
I notice another superhero standing around. Her name is obviously Demi, from what the other girl is yelling, and I see that she has wings.
“HEY!” I yell, running up. “Can you give me a lift, Demi? I’m Invisible Girl, but I’m also sort of a chameleon. This is the only outfit that lets anyone notice me, and I can’t have it turn brown.”
Demi stares at me. “You’re Invisible Girl? I find that hard to believe!”
I grin. “Good,” I say. “I want to be noticed right now, but climbing that tree would ruin it.”

Noelani the Mary Sue and Demi the Superperson (AvalonGirl)
in January 10th, 2009 @ 17:24DEMI:
I groaned. “I guess, but I haven’t used my wings in a while.”I extended my wings out, and it was pretty cool. They’re way out of proportion for someone my size-about twice as big as me!
I extended my hand to Invisible Girl. “Grab on. These things have limits, and my body can’t support them for long, because they’re weirdly big.”
Noelani gave me a look. “Fine, you can come,” I sighed, “just because you beat me ONCE in a fight. ONCE!”
With them both holding my hands, I took a deep breath.

in January 10th, 2009 @ 17:3210- We should use our hero names in public, but our real names among ourselves, like the Avengers.
Okay, here’s me:
Codename: Delta V
Powers: Absorbing solar energy and releasing it in the form of energy blasts, force fields or flight propulsion.
Base of operations: Orlando, Florida.
Weaknesses: Must recharge slowly after expending too much energy. On cloudy days when all energy has been expended, is powerless.
Costume: Dark blue short-sleeve shirt (Neon-green Greek letter Delta on the front) and leggings, with similarly colored wristbands. Wears a helmet containing a radio to communicate with other heroes and with a face-concealing visor including an electronic display of useful information.I glided over the city, reducing my speed as I approached the Hare and Hedgepig. I could already see some superhumans standing near the secret entrance. That was good. If the threat we were facing was as serious as TMFA had made out in his summons, the League would need all the help it could get.
I landed on the grass, next to a girl in bright pink and two arguing girls, one with wings.
“Are you the new recruits?” I asked. They nodded and told me their codenames- Invisible Girl, Demi and Noelani.
“Please to meet you, I’m Kaiulani Yves-Cousteau, codename Delta V. We all should hurry up and get into the Situation Room, the boss will want to meet you.” I said, poking the knothole and walking inside. I noticed Klutz Girl already there and greeted her.

Kokonilly
in January 10th, 2009 @ 17:33((This will be fun! Note: I’m looking at the Mary-Sue Litmus Test as I do this. This shall be very Mary Sue-like and painful to write.))
My name is Kokonilly (to avoid confusion). I’m thirteen years old, but look much older. I’m also called Nilly and Koko. I can turn invisible and fly due to my being part swan and being experimented on for money when I was six. I have beautiful, long jet-black hair. From years of living on my own I’m very fit and tanned. My eyes are normally lime-green but can change color when I feel a particularly strong feeling. I was abandoned at birth and grew up in my very own apartment.
I have a strong temper and a sharp tongue that often gets me into trouble. I have a pet white mouse named Leonardo who never seems to die. I think he has healing powers. I write as a hobby and always carry my universal binder around with me. I also play the clarinet very well. I speak Spanish and Elvish (honed by reading my tattered copy of The Complete Edition of Lord of the Rings about a thousand times). I always wear my Kokopelli necklace, which has kept me from harm whenever I wear it.))
((11 – I know, but it’s so fun!))
I was frantic. I had just run away from the sixth – or was it seventh? – orphanage I was stuffed in. And I had lost all of my money! I calmed myself as people started to stare at my darkening eyes. My eyes returned to green as I strolled down the street, whistling ‘Mamma Mia!’. I got some glances at my outfit: tattered clothes from the orphanage. Then, I vanished.
As people scratched their heads and decided it must have been a trick of the light, I pick a couple pockets and sprint away.

greekgurl the Latin speaking geek freak!
in January 10th, 2009 @ 17:45Dear Muser league of Justice,
This is my third and final attempt at joining your society. My name is Azul Morgans, AKA Blue diamond. My first reason for wanting to join is the ability to heal i was blessed with just over six months ago. The second reason is to help your cause, because of my powers to heal someone at over three times the normal speed. The third reason is one of personal safety. Its hard to blend in with human society when one is marked with blue tatoos on each shoulder. Please consider my plea,
Azul.I read the note again, checking for errors and anything that could be taken the wrong way. “This is the last time.” I thought, knowing that another rejection would have me offering my help to others. Which others remained to be seen to, as the only superhero organization i knew of was the one who had turned me down twice. Couldn’t they see I was trying?
I folded the letter into meticulous thirds and placed it into an already adressed blue envelope with a generic stamp. Then, i walked out to the front, opened the mailbox door and found a strange green envelope staring back at me. I put the blue one inside, shut the door and walked back up to the house, green letter in hand.
Inside the letter went something like this:Dear Azul,
During the past week I have been watching you and have come to the conclusion that your services would be welcome in my group. It’s just me and a few friends of mine. We can offer you help with fitting in if you give your services to us. Please consider,
Mr. JoeI dropped the letter to the kitchen table and ran out the door, only to see the mail truck pulling away. My blue letter was sent, and there was no way of informing the League of my current predicament.

Kokonilly
in January 10th, 2009 @ 17:57((Continuing because I have nothing better to do… And I have added two new powers. Look for them!))
I looked up to prepare for flight and saw a blur. I followed her, still invisible. I followed her down a tree hatch and see more people. Hm. This seems to be some sort of organization, I thought.
I concentrated really hard (missing the next bit of dialogue), and soon I wore a different outfit. It’s a blue t-shirt and green leggings, with a sigma on the front ((sorry, Kai!)). I rematerialized, yelling “BOO!” Soon enough, at least three guns are pointed at me. Nonchalantly, I put up a force field and wave.
“Hey. How’s it going?”

in January 10th, 2009 @ 18:43The screen was on, and a man with an evil green face was tracking every single last one of the new recruits, his bodyguards at his side.
Mr. Joe was sure as hell not going to fail again. The last time, he took out the former leader of the Muser Justice League, nicknamed The One. It seemed like an amazing victory over the near-invincible One. But it was a remarkable defeat. The homing beacon was set on his craft, and tracked him back to his secret base in the mountains of the Caucasus. The Interterrestrial State, who rule the entire world, found his base and arrested him on multiple counts of war crimes.
He spent years in that jail, plotting, scheming a way out and to finally exact revenge on the Muser Justice League. That’s when Mr. Joe’s terror cell, the Icy Black Hand of Sinister Death (IBHSD), sent 100,000 troops to take over the jail. The jail is now a stronghold for the IBHSD, with the former inmates as new troops and Mr. Joe keeping a constant, vigilant eye on the MJL.Mr Joe walks into the main stronghold where his soldiers already stand asseembled.
“It is time.”

♫ Agrrrfishi {Aggie}♫
in January 10th, 2009 @ 18:48Yay! Super-dysfunctional heroes!
Codename: Psyche
Age: 14
Powers: Everything and anything to do with the brain. She is the smartest being on the planet, can see the future and the past, ad is a mind-reader.
Appearance: Sparkling black eyes that turn red when she has a vision, short apple-red hair, and wears a black sit with red streaks on the side.
(( That Mary-Sue enough for you? I’m telling you, this is painful to write.))I was running, running as fast as I could through a dark forest. there were dogs chasing me, barking loudly and growling as raging saliva dripped off their teeth. And the Hare and hedgepig was only blocks away…
I hated dogs. They could smell intelligence as though it were a fresh pie on the windowsill, begging you to come and swallow it whole. Lucky me, that I had to be the only human on earth with a brain like a god. So far.
Suddenly, the barking was gone. I stopped abruptly, turning my head to see what had happened. It was as though all four of those animals had hit some kind of force field, and now they were gone. I rushed through the forest, barely able to make out as I drew closer the side of the Hare and Hedgepig.
The tree was easy to spot. It was tall, lanky, but with an obvious knothole right in the center. I sighed. “How inconspicuous.” I pulled the letter from my pocket. It was from the Muser League of Justice, and I was late. I drew breath quickly.
“Get ahold of yourself, Lucida, you’ll be alright.” It felt strange to be somewhere that was not in a cage, being poked and probed by the men in White. I had been one of the lucky ones. I had escaped, but not after my brain had swelled to irregular size, giving me the knowledge of more than a thousand generations. I knew what they were doing. Trying to make the others smart. Well, I knew I wasn’t going to be their succesful lab rat. If they had known that what they were trying had worked, then they might have kept going. I couldn’t let that be true. So I had broken the laser lock of my cage and escaped those frightful people. I could only guess how the Muser League was able to contact me so quickly.
With a slight hesitation, I stuck my index finger pointedly through the knothole, and then I fell.
It was an unnatural feeling to be sweeping below the earth, but it lasted only a moment. I was then at a secret door, and I stuck my finger over the keypad. I was accepted at once. My eyes met a room full of strangers, some who were fighting, one with wings, and all wearing suits like mine. But none of their were from the lab. I raised a tentative hand. I had always been very shy with people.
“Hello,” I managed. “My name is Lucida. You can call me Psyche.”

Nthanda the Laugher
in January 10th, 2009 @ 19:08((Can I make up two superheroes? Here’s the first, anyways))
Name: Veronica “Nika” Chase
Powers: Shapeshifter (can transform into other people, creatures, things, etc.)
Appearance: In her most basic form, unknown; however, she’s most comfortable as a tall, thin girl in her early twenties, with dark brown hair and green eyes.
Personality: A bit standoffish and cocky because of her power, but at her core, a sucker for the romantic. Likes to do things herself; strong and independent.
Strengths: She’s able to take on any form, including copies of herself with different traits, powers, or features. She’s also very strong, and doesn’t tire easily.
Weaknesses: She can’t heal herself. If she’s fatally injured, she will suck the life force out of any living thing within an expanding radius, friend or foe, until she has enough to heal her wounds. She has no control over this involuntary ability, and is thus very dangerous when hurt.
Costume: None.I’m a blonde today.
I flick my honey-colored tresses out of the way impatiently, striding down 5th avenue with an expression to rival a hungry wolf’s. The smart people who turn to look at my stunning features keep right on turning.
One man isn’t so astute. Dressed in a brown UPS uniform, he falls into step with me and tips his hat.
“Hi,†he says, flashing what he obviously thinks is a roguish grin. I ignore him, shielded behind mirrored Chanel sunglasses.
He steps directly in my path, so that I nearly walk into him. My expression becomes a touch more acidic.
“I don’t have time today, man in a brown suit,†I say. My voice is nearly as enchanting as my looks, even when angry; the man doesn’t budge.
I lower my sunglasses. “Did you hear me, UPS? Move it.â€
The man regains his voice. “Listen, hon—â€
And suddenly he’s facing a ferocious demon with pointed teeth and glowing red eyes. He lets out a very unmanly shriek and skitters off as fast as his legs will carry him. No one else notices, although a few turn to follow the UPS man’s undignified flight with disinterested looks.
I resume my walk. And they wonder why I don’t date, I think, rolling my eyes.

in January 10th, 2009 @ 19:25I grinned. “Yes, hello!” Only one person seemed unfazed: a girl in a suit remarkably similar to mine. Maybe I had mind-reading powers, or superintelligence!
I waved those thoughts away and introduced myself properly. “Well, I’m Kokonilly. You may call me Koko or Nilly.” I started to get excited. My eyes flashed bright blue, and I started hovering slightly. Unaware for the moment, I walked around, still in my bubble. “So, what is this place?” I peered at a particularly ferocious-looking gun. “Seems top-secret.”

I burrow into the league’s headquarters to see most of the league already there. I timidly say hello. Everyone stares.

♫ Agrrrfishi {Aggie}♫
in January 10th, 2009 @ 20:44I speak almost immediately. “This is an organization of people with significant abilities, who are joined together to battle evil, which is usually caused at the hands of mr. Joe, a green-faced superhuman with inhuman strength and power.”
“How did you know that?” asked TMFA.
“I know everything,” I replied simply. “I’m what you might call a braniac. I have mind capability and intelligence superiors to that of Einstein, Newton, and Edison combined, which allows me to read minds and, on occasion, to delve into the future and the past in ways that no human has been able to completely imagine.”
“Can you tell me what I’m thinking about right now?” asked the girl named Kokonilly.
“You’re wondering how you got down here, why there are barrels in your face, and you’re also curious as to why anyone would want to break down walls instead of getting in here the easy way. Your leg is also very itchy, and you prefer that people not stare at your bubble.”
“Wow,” kokonilly both said and thought. “She’s good.”
I grinned. “Thank you,” I reply, hands folded behind my back.

Cello-Playing Mathematician (AKA Kyra)
in January 10th, 2009 @ 20:57I stroll near the Hare and the Hedgepig after having a nice cup of tea. The area is very beautiful, filled with trees and flowers. I breathe in the fresh spring air and sit on a park bench. I try to people-watch, but there seems to be nobody around.
Suddenly, I see a girl who has a funky fashion sense. I watch her with surprise as she pushes a knot on a tree. I’m far enough away that she doesn’t notice me. Suddenly, the girl disappears into the ground. I drop my bags and run over to investigate, but I’m forced to duck behind a bush as two other people appear.

in January 10th, 2009 @ 21:18Codename: The witch in the starspangled jeans
Powers: Selective gravity vortexs, the ability to make linty things fly, a cell phone and a couple dozen friends willing to telleport me tools.
Appearance: Brown shoulderlength hair, aqua eyes that drive me nutters, fair, but not too fair. Owly wireframe glasses.
Outfit: A white tee shirt, (Wait for it!) starspangled jeans.
Weaknesses: Apt to zone out, is a sucker for broken furniture left on the curb.
Age: 12
I sprang out of bed, madly grappling for my letter of acceptance. White sunlight washed my worn out room. I shoulda sneaked out of the house after my parents went to bed. (My mom had insisted that I got a good nights sleep before heading to the academy.) I klumphed-gallumphed down the splintered stairs, hurdling the last eight steps. The gloor groaned. Da peered bleary eyed over his bowl of coffee.
B’Daktgo! I shouted at him as I raced out the door. (Translation: Bye, dad, gotta go!) I straddled my trusty bicycle, Ed, and took off down the street. As I pedaled, the spirals of the wheels appeared before my eyes, and I breathed the fresh morning air. Even the dawning realization that I had forgotten to put on my shoes couldn’t cloud the anticipation. This adventure was gonna be good.
I crashed Ed on the specified lawn and ran over to the tree. The grass poked my feet. The oak tree was very large and split halfway up into two gracefully curved trunks. I considered taking a branch to carve into a staff, and after a moment’s thought I started climbing the tree to take up the challange. Alas, the rough barkwas too much for my bare feet and I returned to the ground to get back to buisness. I gave the instructions on my acceptance letter a quick one-over an pushed the knot. I felt the ground fall away, but I didn’t fall. Not on the guard of my magical pocket lint! I meandered down to the bottom of the hole, where I firmly planted my right index finger on the second door to the left. It swung open, and I strode into the room. But my courage failed me when I got to looking around. Everybody was wearing a leotard.

I thought for a bit. I was gifted, maybe even profoundly gifted. I had never gone for an IQ test, though, so I didn’t know. Whatever, I thought. I have enough powers as it is.
“Well, I know why these barrels are pointed at me, at any rate.” I smirked. “You weren’t completely correct.” I waved at the guns. “I scared you. You panicked, thinking it was a threat, but obviously it’s just little old me.” I grinned.

“Inchu, sir?” asked Commander Etxeberria, using elements of the Armenian language they spoke when the last base was still there, even though he was Basque.
“The MJL is assembling again, Commander. They are not to be underestimated. They are assembling forces of superhuman power. Shapeshifters and braniacs and giants. All types.” Mr. Joe took a puff out of his hookah. “We must act now. Commander Abdurehim. (Yes sir, said Abdurehim without hesitation) Send special ops forces and try to locate their base. Tracking devices have indicated that the base is somewhere near the small island of Vestmannejar in Iceland. The best person for this mission is Snipe. He will be the perfect double agent.”
“And Abdurehim-”
“Yes sir?”
“If you fail me again, I will kill you.”

A girl wearing all hot pink, who I had previously not noticed at all, walks up to the other two and asks for help reaching the knot. They oblige, and they all go down into the ground. Startled by this, I leap out of the bush and walk towards the tree. Just as I am about to press the knot, I remember my bags. I need to take them back to the Hare and the Hedgepig for safekeeping. I walk back to the park bench, pick them up, and enter the teahouse.

Approximately a half second later, I arrived back. “So, did I miss anything?” I asked happily. I was holding a white mouse gently. “Meet Leonardo!”

bookgirl_me (Carrie Blue)
in January 11th, 2009 @ 08:58Profile:
Name: Carrie Blue
Age: 14
Power: Messing with reality (I can change small details)
Appearance (normal): platinum blond hair, gray eyes (wears tinted contact lenses to make them look blue), wears a dark blue supersuit with a light-colored strappy top and short skirt over it.
Appearance when using power: I sort of time travel to do it, so I’m blurry or vanish completely.
Strengths: illusions, acting skills,
Weaknesses: I have no clue what I’m doing, or any control over my powers. I just hope, pretend and take the credit if I get lucky. I’m also bossy, and try to let others do my work for me.As soon as I got the letter, I headed towards the HQ. Arriving in the park, I stopped. Which tree again ? Messing with reality is bad for your memory, and I had two memories of this morning since I’d tried to change events that my toast wouldn’t be burnt. It worked, but I ruined the toaster instead. Maybe the PWPSH would give me a new toaster as salary ? I walked over to a random tree and elbowed it discreetly. Nope. Next tree. I ended up doing all the trees in the park, until finally, by the last one, the ground gave way under my feet. I tried to look dignified and managed to land on my feet with a superior air, brushing imaginary dust of my suit. I strutted over to a free chair near some other heros, saying: “Sorry that I’m late. I had to check the trees in the park for security cameras. Better safe than captured by Mr. Joe.” I beamed at the leader, who couldn’t help raising the corners of her mouth a bit.
((What is going on ? Are all the heros fighting the Mary Sues or are some with the heros ?))

Cat's Eye (10 Wung points)
in January 11th, 2009 @ 11:16I create a deliberate Mary Sue for the first time since my Phoebe and Hannah-Leah characters killed Rainerudhiel! Mwahahaha!
Name: Lady Leyah Raven Alia’lighmathtra’na Ruby Yumeno Billybobjoe (but you can call her Catseye as a nickname)
Age: Actually hundreds of years old but she looks just fourteen!!!
Appearance: Her hair is purple and red and gold and long and beautiful. Her eyes change color depending on her mood. She’s very tall. She has a striking scar on her face that only makes her look better. She has a unique necklace with a star on it. A real one. Which somehow doesn’t crush the planet under its gravity. She wears black leather, heavy weaponry, sunglasses, and a long trench coat. Her clothing makes the fashionable jealous.
Personality: Very witty, always has a “clever” comeback. Perfect musical voice. Plays all instruments perfectly. Excellent dancer. Is able to perform magic when very few others can. Can heal with a touch. Although she is a vampireelfwerewolf, she has all the strengths of vampires/elves/werewolves but none of the weaknesses.
History: Chose her own name because it describes her PERFECTLY. At her birth, or so it’s said, a bunch of faeyrries (it made me sick to type that) blessed her. She was adopted by people who horribly mistreated her, but she thought she was their biological daughter. Then it turned out that she was the last vampireelfwerewolf left in the entire universe, because she was from another world, which is much cooler than Earth, where her mother (the vampireelfwerewolf queen) sent her away from because evil people were killing all the vampireelfwerewolves. Then she discovered someone made a prophecy about her. Because she discovered this, her foster parents killed her. But she came back to life. Multiple times. Then her foster parents killed her true love betrothed prince vampireelfwerewolf, despite the fact she was the last one, but she brought him back to life. Multiple times. So her foster parents sold her into slavery. She was very angry, then they died and she felt very guilty. Her true love spends much time convincing her it wasn’t her fault. Her slave overseer hated her because she was right when he was wrong. Then, because the man who she was working for felt sorry for her, he let her go. The slave overseer caught a fatal disease and died painfully. She trained at the best school in the area, where she was hailed as a natural at everything. Then the school was attacked. Though everyone forbid her to fight for it, she saved the day.
I’m going to go off and be sick now.

Cello-Playing Mathematician (AKA Kyra)
in January 11th, 2009 @ 12:55More notes on my character: Always gets mad if she does something wrong or is made look stupid, which is pretty often. Wants to be great at just about everything (AKA be perfect)…
I drop my bags at the coat room in the H&H and stroll inconspiculously back to the tree. I press the knot and am whooshed underground. I seem to be in an underground laboratory or something. I gaze around in awe. Who would have the money or power to build this?
There’s a door in front of me with a fingerprint scanner. Going all in, I scan my right forefinger. Surprisingly, the door whooshes open and I am greeted by the stares of a bunch of people in superhero outfits.
“Who are you?” says the leader.
“Ummm…My name’s Kyra?”
“Kyra…Kyra…Nope, you’re not on the list. But how did you get in?”
“I…walked through the door?” I say sarcastically.
“You have to have a superpower to be able to get through the door.”
“I’m sorry, what?” I’m surprised at how these people actually belive that they’re superheroes.
“You have to have a superpower to be here.”
“Sorry, I don’t have a ‘superpower.’ I’d like to join your club, though.”
“This isn’t a club. This is serious.”
“Well…um…I’ll just be leaving, then.” I head for the door.
“Wait. We need to test you for a power.”
“Sure, I guess,” I say, rolling my eyes.((More later. I was thinking that I’d be able to lie to anyone without them suspecting. Perfect spy material!))

Great. And practically everyone is wearing lint resistant leotards. Not to mention that that girl’s star necklace is doing weird things with my gravity powers. I shuffle over and take a seat next to a girl dressed head to toe in hot pink and HPB patterns.

“Has anyone else noticed any unusual goings-on near them?” asked TGYPWYA.

I think we need to stop the story and figure out exactly what is going on, because it seems like different people are doing totally different things. RPGs are confusing enough, and we need to establish a basic plotline. I also think that it will be extremely confusing to have some people be superheros and others Mary Sues or Gary Stus. I think if we stop the story, figure out what’s going on, and then start writing, it would be much better!!!))

in January 11th, 2009 @ 14:43((87-Totally agree. And bookgirl, you missed Tasha Stevenson in the Mary Sues.
OK, so here’s my thought on the story.
Superheros: Should be unconventional, NOT Mary Sue-ish. Preferably only one talent/superpower. Good guys. Belong to Muser Justice League. Trying to save the world from Mr. Joe and his army of Mary Sues/Gary Stus.
Mary Sues/Gary Stus: Mostly bad guys, but if they have superpowers they may be able to join up with the Justice League. Being formed into an army by Mr. Joe.
Mr. Joe: Cliff Eagle. Supervillain. Forming army of Mary Sues/Gary Stus. May have something to do with weird weather (?)))

“I’ve noticed the weather is changing around a lot. Maybe Mr. Joe and the Mary Sues have some kind of weather machine, and they want the weather to be perfect,” I say.
Demi nods. “I think the machine is malfunctioning though,” she says. “120 degrees isn’t exactly perfect.”
TASHA
As I walk into my family’s mansion, I notice a bright green envelope on the mat addressed to Tasha Stevenson. I pick it up and open it. The letter inside says,
Dear Tasha,
During the past week I have been watching you and have come to the conclusion that your services would be welcome in my group. It’s just me and a few friends of mine. We can offer you help with fitting in if you give your services to us. Please consider,
Mr. Joe
P.S. If you wish to join this select group, please go to the thirteenth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel and pull out the “Up” arrow button outside the elevator. This will take you to Headquarters.

in January 11th, 2009 @ 15:37((86- I meant spy for you guys. Like, double agent material.))
I’m lead away from the group and to a back room while the “superheroes” start discussing something. I hear: “120 degrees isn’t exactly perfect” before a set of doors close behind me.
I’m in a big room. In the center is a huge ball with a door in it.
“What’s that?” I ask, feeling foolish.
“That’s the SuperPower Figuring-Out Machine, or SPFOM for short.”
“Ok, so I just walk in and get assigned a ‘power’?”
“Don’t fool around. Get in it.”
Feeling angry at the mysterious leotarded person who was asking me to do crazy things, I stormed into the ball. A humming starts, and suddenly hundreds of dazzling multicolored lights swar around me. I watch them form into patterns. First, a cat, then a smiley face, a house, a bunny. After a few minutes of this, the humming stopps and the lights slowly fade away. I’m starting to be apprehensive of this technology. Who are these people? I ask myself again.
“Come out, please,” my guide says. I emerge from the ball and look expentantly at him.
“According to the computers, you have the power to…” he looks closer at the screen. “…the power to lie.”
“Lie?”
“You can make anyone believe anything. Like, say, if you told someone you were 81, they would believe you.”
“Hmmm,” I mutter. I want to see if they were actually on to something. “You know, I think you’re machine’s broken,” I lied. “There’s a big hole on the inside.”
“Really? Let me go check,” is my answer. The ‘superhero’ ducks his head inside the machine, then looks back at me with a confused look on his face. “You were checking if your power was real, weren’t you? Well it is. I totally believed you.”
So maybe these people aren’t fooling around after all, I think, as my guide leads me back to the main room.

Profile:
Name: Kysiri
Age: 13
Superpowers: She is the ultimate spy, flexible and acrobatic, very graveful and can create a forcefield around her. She can also talk telepathically to her Border Collie Zephyr.
Weaknesses: Extremely short tempered and sarcastic. Can be distracted from her work because of acting smart alec-y.
Costume: Army green t-shirt, camo pants and hiking boots.
Other: Has a Swiss Army knife that has just about everything in it. Carries a brown knapsack with spying stuff in it. Always accomanied by Zephyr.Cake, I thought. I jumped out of bed, realizing that I was going to be late at the Muser Leauge of Justice. Zephyr, wake up already!
I’m coming, Grouchy.I climbed down from my treehouse home and caught Zephyr when she jumped down into my arms. We started running down the street, and after 5 minutes were at the Hare & the Hedgepig. I walked over to the giant oak tree and picked up Zephyr. You’d better not drop me, she thought.
Of course I will, I sarcastically replied. I pushed the knot on the tree and we went falling down under the ground. I gracefully somersaulted in the air and landed lightly on my feet. I wish you wouldn’t do that. growled Zephyr.I crept into a room filled with a variety of characters after scanning my finger outside the corridoor. Zephyr was only a step behind me, as always. Before I went any further, I generated a forcefield around us in case this was a trap. A guy who seemed to be the leader looked up at me. “Hello. You must be Kysiri. Welcome to the Muser Leauge of Justice.”

Kokonilly’s eyes go wide. “Oooooh, yeah!” she says. “Anyone know where we can find Edward Cullen’s phone number?”
Instantly, everyone offers suggestions as to whom we should invite. TMFA tries to get everyone to quiet down, to no avail. Finally, he resorts to holding up a phone book with “Fictional Characters” on the front in large red letters. Everyone rushes toward it.

I struggle to take in every detail of what TMFA says. Cats are not particularly known for listening to others, so it’s hard for me.
I notice that Kokonilly has a mouse, and resolve not to morph around it. Other people’s pets are friends, not food. I made that rule up when I was in third grade, after I went to a friend’s house, showed her my power, and accidentally ate her beloved goldfish while in morph. She punished me by telling everyone about my power, condemning me to years of “Do you prefer Meow Mix or Iams brand of cat food?” and “Here, kitty, kitty, kitty…”.
Back to the story. To summarize what TMFA said, we have to fight a villain called Mr. Joe, whose goal is to make everything perfect, and he has an army of perfect Mary Sues. My hair fluffs out again, because how can you fight perfection?

in January 12th, 2009 @ 11:51Time to keep up the Mary Sue act: I raise my hand. “If Mr. Joe really has made a weather machine, he must have a secret hideout to operate it from. A machine capable of such a feat has to be quite large. I suggest we send teams out to explore suspicious areas and try to locate our enemies and gather information before we strike.” “And how would these teams be organized ?” asked TMFA. “I’m sure that the wise commity will be able to come up with an ideal solution.” I said, flashing a smile. Some of the heros started giving me dirty looks, sure to have a Mary Sue in their midst. Well, that was what I wanted anyway.
(( What about that ? We can divide into groups to avoid large-scale rivalry and give everyone their fair share of Mary Sue encounters, heroic escapes and chances to meet strange new people on the road (the romance part). ))

A few people were still giving me bewildered looks. A girl in a white bodysuit was looking nervously at Zephyr. Then I realized that they were all staring at Zephyr. What’s wrong with these people? Have they never seen a dog before? I thought to Zephyr. If she could have, she would have rolled her eyes.”Oh. This is my dog, Zephyr,” I explained. Still looks of bewilderment. I sighed. “Why the cake are you looking at me like that?!?” I said in an exasperated tone.

“Dear Kysiri,
Thank you for your application. You have been accepted into the Muser Justice League. To reach the base, go to the largest oak tree in the garden next to the Hare And Hedgepig. Poke the knothole. You will fall into the Muser Justice League Base. Go to the second door to the left, and press the fingerpad with your right index finger.
Sincerely,

Don’t you even dare, told her, sternly.There was a short silence during my squabble with Zephyr. “Oh, and by the way,” I said to the Welcoming Girl, “Zephyr is a girl. And she won’t eat your mouse.”

“Why would they think that? I thought the MJL had better spies than that! To think, Commander Abdurehim, why the hell would I want to control the weather when I could be controlling the war?”
“So, should we deny all allegations?”
“You are as stupid as a wall, imbecile. Why would we tell them? We want them to keep as uninformed as possible. Listen here, Abdurehim, we can “pretend” to leak the information as to where our “weather” machine is and then send troops. The MJL will be exterminated, and we will be victors. Especially with your double agent Snipe hidden amongst them. Speaking of which, how is Snipe?”
“He is well. I have not heard a report from him yet, but I assume he is blending in well. I gave him the full order including the order to extermin—”
“IDIOT, why, are you trying to ruin our cover?
Mr. Joe then flew into a rage. His giant green hands gripped around Abdurehims throat. Abdurehim died within seconds.“Etxeberria, call Snipe, and tell him to disregard all orders from Commander Qadir Abdurehim. He will only take orders from ME.”

These stupid “Musers” didn’t notice anything, and apparently the forged letter I created was good enough for their puny “defenses”. Why, no one even noticed I was … different. Listening to them babble on was a restfulness. Obviously, I was perfecter then any of them! I was the perfectest! After a minute, I heard a voice in my head. It was Etxeberria, the psychopathic telepath.
“Change of plans.” He broadcasted, “Abdurehim’s been terminated by Mr. J. He says to only take orders from himself, and not to blow your cover by inhuming them. Stay hidden, and don’t argue with Mr. J. He may be the boss, but I know logistics. You’re too valuable an asset to be taken by his temper. So was Abdurehim, but I couldn’t stop him. Anyway, find info. Keep me posted, k?”
“Certainly.” I broadcasted back. He clicked off the connection.

in January 12th, 2009 @ 21:47((*twitch* Too many posts… *reads* Ah. This is where we’ve gotten ourselves, huh?
I suppose I’m a veteran. Maybe I know TMFA from the blog. Are veterans originally from the blog?))
I sat down in my custom seat, the one second to the right from the center. Even when the chairs were moved, I could still find mine, because I had graffittied on it so much it was hard not to miss!
Some people sat next to me, and I welcomed them. One of them I spilled soda on, but she didn’t say anything.
I watched the conversation in interest, nodding at things I disagreed upon and things I didn’t. I was in my happy place. My happy place is where I’m reading a book on a beanbag chair, with nothing nearby to slip, trip, fall onto, or walk into.
Suddenly, I fell backward in my chair. I let out a yelp. People stared as I struggled to right myself and the chair. “Huh, that’s funny,” I said, straightening my cap. “I don’t even do that. I’m sure I was crouching over!” “Someone must have messed with you,” said the girl I had spilled soda on. “Ambushed you or whatever.” “Oh, remember my name?” I said, waving my hand. “I’m Klutz Girl. I guess that was just me being klutzy. Don’t worry about it.”
Deep down, I was scared. I swore I was crouching over!
“Well, anyway,” TMFA said, dismissing the catastrophe, “We need more than Catgirl to spy.” I started to volunteer, but he said, “Don’t even think about it, Zinc. You’re not that good a spy. And anyway, you’re the next best person at managing the computer. You watched Groundhog build it.” “Okay,” I said glumly, slouching. “I’ll stay here while they have all the fun.”
But as I spoke, my head was furiously whirring as I concocted a plan. I would get out of this place!

“We can’t just sit here waiting for Mr. Joe to drop in with his army !” I said. The truth was that when I was bored, my powers went wild and started to do something. Klutzgirl suddenly struggled to sit up. “Cake !” I thought. By a klutz that glitch could be ignored, but if i accidentally knocked over a Mary Sue, people would notice. “Why don’t we send some people out to check suspicious areas !” I suggested again. I knew I was pushing it, but if my powers got out I my Mary Sue career would be over before it began..

greekgurl the Latin speaking geek freak!
in January 13th, 2009 @ 19:17I crumple the envelope that holds my acceptance letter in my hand. In the other hand is the already crumpled letter from Mr. Joe. I ‘m not planning on joining his ranks, I just wanted to let the League know what was going on. I go to the tree and follow the directions to get into the hideout. The hallways are deserted as I make my way through them, passing a strange looking machine big enough to hold me. At the end of the hallway there are voices.
I hear, “We should send out spies. The world changes quickly, you know.â€
“Good idea,†someone says. “But who would be a spy?â€
Someone else pipes up, “Does anybody have a power involving camouflage or languages? If so, I think they would be the best choice for a spy.â€
The conversation flows smoothly, from unrecognizable voice to voice. I want to press my ear against the door, but there are superheroes in there. Best not to anger them. Eventually they reach a conclusion. As each power is described I find myself in awe. Well, this explains why it took so long to get back to me. There are so many briliant people in there. I almost turn into a puddle when I realize that before long someone will open the door and I will be caught with a letter from Mr. Joe in my hand. I decide to knock, but before I can a voice from inside turns my limbs into liquid.
“Just thought you might want to know, there’s someone outside the door.” Chairs scrape as the most powerful people in the world, my idols, come out to see the intruder.
((not sure who I wanted to say that line, whoever is the most observant I guess))

Suddenly a glass of water on the reception table started to quiver, as if it was impatient. “Stand still !” I whispered to myself, willing it to return to normal. It tipped dramatically, then righted itself. I sighed with relief. Hopefully the spies would be sent out before I accidentally brought the place down around our ears. To my credit, no one noticed. “If that isn’t the sign of a good spy, what is ?” I thought contentedly.

The leader, TMFA, decides that there should be a group of spies. Of course, I volunteer Zephyr and I. “My super-powers are based on spying!” I exclaim. “I’ll definitely be a spy. Zephyr is pretty good too.” Zephyr gave me a warning look. “Well, she’s a great spy, actually.” A few people give me questioning looks. “We can communicate telepathically.” They nodded, understanding now.
“You two sould perfect for the jobs!” says TMFA.
I smile. This was gonna be great. Mr. Joe won’t know what’s coming for him.

in January 14th, 2009 @ 15:13” I would like to spy on Mr. Joe,” I said, raising my hand slightly. “I find weather, although fascinating, to be quite irritating to my frontal lobe. You see, thunder and lightning make me dizzy and often cause me to faint or stop breathing. The Whitecoats would often test my reflexes with a weather simulation. You will find that many people with extraordinary ability will have some negative affixiation with the weather.”
“Interesting…” said Delta.
“I don’t like rain,” said Catgirl, shivering. “Too much water.”
Suddenly, my ears heard a slight noise, like a feather dropping to a sheet metal door. I whipped my head around to face the door. I wasalmost certain someone was there.
“Just thought you might want to know.” I said. “There’s someone outside the door.â€
TMFA rushed to open it. Before she could get away, a girl came int view. She walked up to us.
“I can help with the weather. Water…well, im good with water and if what he’s doing involves any sort of precipitation…On the topic of spying, did anybody else get one of these?†She held out the note from Mr. Joe for examination.

‘Dear Psyche,
Thank you for your application. You have been accepted into the Muser Justice League. To reach the base, go to the largest oak tree in the garden next to the Hare And The Hedgepig. Poke the knothole. You will fall into the Muser Justice League Base. Go to the second door to the left, and press the fingerpad with your right index finger.
Sincerely,

“We didn’t send any letters,” said TMFA.
“You must have,” everyone said. “How else would we get here?”
Then, it hit me. “They must already be spying on US,” I cried.
“We might already be being ambushed!”, shouted Zinc, ducking and covering her head with her arms.
“Calm down,” said Delta. “This place is way more secure than our last fortress, and nobody knows where we are except for us and our confidential funders.”

Everyone makes a bolt for the door, the very doorway I am standing in. I step out of the way just in time, but the fright of it still caused pure water to ooze from my pores like sweat. Around my feet a puddle was quickly formed. ?I was about to join thr throng when I noticed it draining through a tile in the ground. “That’s odd…” I thought, and stopped the hero named Psyche as she tried to calmly lead everyone out. “Look there” I said, gesturing towards my discovery. “There’s something under that tile…”

One or more of the people whose legs I’m squashed against is working for Mr. Joe! Worse, that ticking noise could be a bomb of some sort, about to destroy our headquarters, and possibly all of us.

in January 15th, 2009 @ 07:25There are screams and I snapped back to attention. A bomb. I tried to pull myself together and called my power. I zoomed in mentally on the bomb and went through its history. People arrive, TMFA starts talking, klutzgirl nearly wipes out; all to early. A person in black puts the bomb there,-wait ! I try to see that person, but it en disappears as the bombs history shows in front of my eyes. Typical. The one thing everyone was interested in. the bomb was carried, primed- wait primed ! The person in black is adjusting the dial. A little bit more- I give ens arm a shove, then quickly press the “set” button. The bomb will explode 999 hours. Enough time for someone to disarm it. I open my eyes and snap back to the present. I run to the tile. There it is ! But what do I do ? The timer says 900 hours, so it’s safe, but how do I open it ? And if I do, which wire do I cut ? I shout: “Help me !” and hold up the bomb with the timer.

in January 15th, 2009 @ 11:23I took the bomb ticking faster and faster from the girl holding it, who looks confused.
“I’ll take care of it. Quick, get in the elevator!”
“But what about you? And the bomb said 999 when the persn set it…”
I closed my eyes and looked back. I saw what Carrie had seen. The time had been 999, but…
“9 minutes and 99 seconds,” I breathed. “It’s recent. You have to go. Quick, now, before it goes off!”
“Send the elevtaor back down when everyone’s up and out. This should only take a minute, but just in case it doesn’t work…”
The elevator was leaving now, and I turned back to look at the bomb. There must be some sort of latch… My fingers paced over the rough black shell, until I found a small piece of metal sticking from the bottom. I flicked it. The bomb face opened.
Inside, there were at least 50 red wires, all tangled into a large mass, and a small clock face with the hands whirring quickly and emitting a high picked tick. Next to the watch was a big black box that was no doubt pcked full of heavy-duty explosives. If I cut the wrong wire… But I already knew which one to cut. Carefully and calmly, I looked around for something to cut the wires with. A shard of glass lay on the floor. I picked it up, and without any pretense sliced each wire quickly and quietly in a specific order. But the ticking did not stop.
I looked into the bomb shell and saw that the hands of the watch had stopped moving. But if the bomb wasn’t still woking, then how could there still be…
I knew at once. I peered back down into the drain hole and gasped. Inside were hundres and hundres ofbombs, all ticking now, louder and faster…
“Oh wung buttons,” I gasped. I turned around. I heard the elevator coming back down. Then, I saw Demi lying on the floor. I grabbed her up gently, putting her over my shoulder. The stress must have been too much fo her, bit she was still breathing, not dead. Good. She would be okay.
We made it onto the elevator and I frantically pressed the ‘up’ button. The ticking was deafening now, and so fast it was almost one long beep. When it was, the place would blow sky-high. The elevator was moving up. I heard the ticking growing faster, and the doors opened to the Hare and Hedgepig jus as the ticking drew to a single note and stopped.
BOOM.
There was huge explosion, and the raging fire followed Demi and I up the elevator shaft as I ran as fast I could, forward, the flames licking my heels.
“Help, help, help, HELP!” I screamed, loud enough so that the entire county could probably hear me.

C’mon Zephyr, jump! I think to her, staying calm in the hectic situation. Zephyr jumps into my arms and I run for the door. I am up and out of the underground in a few swift seconds. I could tell many of the others were badly shaken. I helped Catgirl away from Zephyr, because I knew she would tempt her. I helped a few others whom I didn’t know the names of yet. Then I decided that I should try to find out who was spying on us. I motioned to Zephyr to follow me, and I crept away from the crowd of other heros. Zephyr started sniffing, and I could tell that she was on to something. What do you smell? I asked her. Human. Male. He was walking lightly and creeping over to….. she trotted over to a nearby tree. here. He climbed up this tree!
Great job Zephyr. Go and try to get some of the others to follow you over here. Bark at them, even nip at them if they won’t listen to you.
As Zephyr trotted off, I started investigating around the tree. I was completely silent. I was far enough away from the others that I could on;y faintly hear screams. I didn’t let that bother me, because I knew I was on to something.
A glint of light caught my eye from the grass by the tree. Bending down, I took my Swiss Awmy knife and flipped open the magnifying glass. Squinting, I saw a wire running across the grass. I started to follow it, but before I got far I heard rustling in the tree. I spun around, snaping the magnifying glass back into my knife. Nothing. As quietly as I could, I started to climb up the tree……

“Wow,” said Delta. “Some bang from a tiny bomb.”
“But there wasn’t just one!” I panted, holding a hand up. “There were hundreds, maybe a thousand! I knew I couldn’t kill them all, so I had to go. And Demi was passed out.” I pointed to Demi, who was lying on a couch. She seemed to be waking up.
“Someone must have access to our hideout…or they did…” said TMFA.

Suprisingly, I was enjoying this line of work. Maybe soon I can even kill one of them! After a moment, I sensed a bomb. I waited until the Musers discovered it, and then moved with them as they left. After a moment, I heard a voice in my head. Of course, it was Etxeberria.
“Are any dead?” he asked.
“Not that I’m aware of. It hasn’t blown yet, though. I’m going to ‘make friends’.”
“Okay. Have fun!”

“Ummm…” I say, “I need to take these home; is there anything else I need to do?”
“I don’t know,” is my answer. “You can go and come back, just be quick.” The person seems to be in shock after the explosion. I am, too, which is the real reason I want to go home.
“All right,” I say. “Could you let everyone else know, too?”
“Sure. See ya.”
I walk away from the strange group of costumed teens. As soon as I get out of the blast radius, I loose my cool. I start to shiver with fear. What have I gotten myself into? I need to pet my cat.

in January 15th, 2009 @ 23:32I walked silently away from the group toward a familiar pile of rubble. I picked up a wire and a piece or green. Part of the supercomputer. Of course.
I sat down on what appeared to be the monitor., fiddling with snapped wires. I remembered helping Groundhog built this computer. I had even dubbed its nickname- karL. But ever since The Incident, it would be me who would be the technological
guru…The Incident. I remember it all too well. A band of rogue HPBs had found the base a lot of the now-veterans were in, having a tactics meeting. I, one of the original members, was there as well, as was TMFA, Groundhog, and penguini. Back then, I wasn’t Klutz Girl. I was actually very flexible.
The base= kaboom.
TMFA and a few other people (including me) survived the explosion, but many others didn’t. And with that, I lost my flexibility.
I yanked off my green boot and wiggled my toes in the sunshine. Scars “graced” the surface of my skin. There were scars almost everywhere on my body. I doctored myself, but I became so inflexible that I become accident-prone. And so, from Twisterene I was Klutz Girl.
((Maybe a bit too much PPing. I don’t know Groundhog’s dead (if she wants to join, that is.). She might have survived.))

Carrie Blue (bookgirl_me)
in January 16th, 2009 @ 02:25I crawled out from under the oak tree and graoned. It was useless having superpowers if you were dyslexic ! My back hurt, and my left leg had an enourmous bruise on it. “Thats what comes from relaxing and trusting your powers !” thought. I felt bruised and battered, so I marched to the hare and the hedegepig and ordered a soda and an enormous chocolate silk pie, ignoring stares. So what if I was a bit dirty ! I`d like to see them after standing next to an exploding bomb. One person with a cell phone was shooting me suspicious glances every other minute. “Mind your own beeswax !” I told him, not bothering to be polite. he glared back but turned away. Satisfied, I slurped my chocolate untill a hero in a battered supersuit showed up and saw me. “You`re alive !” en shouted. “Barely.” I said, irritated. I`d risked my life for the heros, so the least they could do would be to pay my bill. “Come, TMFA is talking to the survivors outside.” persisted the hero. “Well, he can wait until I finish my pie.” I growled, feeling the need for chocolate to recuperate from the schock. The hero came over and simply dragged me outside, so I took my pie plate wih me. Munching my pie, I surveded the scene. “Doesn´t that make you lose you appetite ?” asked klutzgirl. “Food is important !” I annonced, taking a big bite. “Did everyone get out ?” I asked with horror.

in January 16th, 2009 @ 06:05As I climbed further and further up the tree, I was starting to loose hope. Maybe the wire was just there by a coincidence. Maybe it was just a squirrel in the tree. But I kept on climbing.
I heard a soft bark from the bottom of the tree. What is it, Zephyr? I asked her. They’re all too busy dealing with the explosion. I couldn’t get anyone’s attention.
Whatever. I’ll just keep climbing. You keep watch.I heard rustling again. If there really was someone up this tree, they must have definitely figured out that I was on to them. I swiftly pulled out a pair of binoculars out of my knapsack and scanned the upper most part of the tree. There! I saw someone’s shoe! And then…
“HEY!” they shouted down to me. Before they could do anything else I leaped up to the branch above the preson, pulled out some rope (from my knapsack) and yanked the man’s arms behind him, tying them up in a split second. “HEY!” he shouted again, but I cut him off by stuffing a piece of cloth in his mouth.Luckily the man was small and fairly lightweight, but it still took me a while to get him down the tree. Finally we got down, and while I prodded him along, Zephyr looked around to see if there were any other people around. We were all set. I got the man back over the the H&H. “HEY! EVERYBODY!” I shouted. “I found this man hiding up in one of the trees!”

Then, Kysiri was yelling. “HEY, EVERYBODY! I FOUND THIS MAN UP IN ONE OF THE TREES!” She came over, grappling a small, gagged man with bound hands. He was wearing a white coat. I recognised him as one of the men from the lab. I drew away and hissed, “Get him away from me.”

Psyche shook her head and replied “I don’t know. To be perfectly truthful, I’m not sure who we can trust anymore.”
I was about to agree when someone yelled, “HEY, EVERYBODY! I FOUND THIS MAN UP IN ONE OF THE TREES!”
She came over, wrestling a small, gagged man with bound hands wearing a white coat. Psyche hissed, “Get him away from me.â€
Kysiri, concerned, asked her, “Why? Do you know who he is?”
I was also very concerned. You could plainly tell, because my eyes were red and I was ready to fight if need be.

in January 16th, 2009 @ 16:55“Yes,” I said, backing away. “He was one of the ones who tested on me. In the lab.”
I was afraid to say ‘who gave me my powers’, because then he would know that the torture he’d put us through had been successful.
“You didn’t ACTUALLY think you’d get away, scum!” the man shouted, spitting the gag out of his mouth and onto his neck.
“Shut UP,” I said, trying to get at him. But Noelani held me back.
“We’d better take him somewhere secluded, then we can get rid of him or something,” said Kokonilly, who was standing nearby. She also looked very worried.
“Good idea,” said Kysiri, and she started dragging the man away. As he went, the man was yelling, “Don’t you turn your back on me! I created you! I MADE YOU!”
“I made myself,” I whispered.
“That guy seems weird,” said Kokonilly, shaking her head as we walked.
“I don’t know why, but I think he and the other white coats are in league with Mr. Joe,” I said, trying to stop remembering my life at the lab.
I hadn’t been ‘made’, per se. My mother, or something resembling my mother, had donated me there to the lab when I was very young. I had spent my life in a cage, eating what the men let me eat, sleeping when they let me sleep, and doing whatever they wanted for their experiments. It was terribly cruel. We were like animals, myself and the other children. And every day, were were injected with a strange serum that made our brains larger. I knew more, but I didn’t have to learn. It wasn’t so bad, but the headaches grew worse and worse by the minute. I still had them, and I was getting one right now from even remembering. I was grateful that Kysiri had caught one of them. In fact, one of the more important ones.
“His name is Darius,” I told Kokonilly. “He’s one of the head honchos.”

in January 17th, 2009 @ 10:22“Four,” I said.
“And your mother was-”
“Tall.”
“And a brunette.”
“Me, too,” we both said at the same time. We stared at each other in silence for a minute that seemed endless. Then, Kokonilly spoke.
“But if your mother is my mother…Then, we must be-”
“Related.” I finished
“Sisters.” she said at the same time.
The idea was strange to me. I had never known of my sister. But now I was sure it had to be true. How could I not have known? Although I was mentally gifted, all memory of before I had become inhumanly smart was blurry. But this seemed to unlock a piece.
“Yes,” I whispered again, and now it was clear. “It was raining. And we were together, weren’t we?”
My eyes grew wide, and suddenly I was recalling the past. I was late on a frigid and dark December night, and my mother had been walking with me on the left side. I wasn’t sure why at the time, but it felt like when she was talking, it wasn’t just to me. I hadn’t been big enough to see around her, so I couldn’t have seen a sister beside her on the right. I had been locked away in a separate room for my childhood, alone. She had been elsewhere…
“You will be good,” she had said. She did not look at me. She was looking down. A man in white had swept me up, and, thrusting a good slab of ten dollar bills into her hand, he took me from my mother. There had been more footsteps behind us, and I though it was just one man following. But really, he had had my sister with him…
“Whoa,” whispered Kokonilly. I could tell she had had a flashback as well.
“You too?” I asked, smiling.
“It is true,” she whispered. And with that, we came into a hug.

I brought a coil of rope out from one of my caro pants numerous pockets, and went quickly over to the man in the white coat. I wrapped the rope in a circle around his head, since he was already tied up. Holding both ends of the rope, I said menacingly to the man, “Now, if you tel us what we want to know, I won’t pull. now, if you don’t cooperate…” I trailed off. For eddect, I pulled the rope a miniscule amount tighter around his neck.
He glared at me, and I glared back.

The man glared at her. “What do you want to know?”
I answered him first. “First of all, who the heck are you? From what I’ve gathered, you work or worked in some sort of lab where you mutilated, or something like that, Kokonilly and Psyche.”
His eyes bulged, and he looked shocked that I already knew so much. “Ha. I thought so. You. Are. A. Coward!” I stared at him, unblinking.

“Yes,†she whispered. “It was raining. And we were together, weren’t we?â€
I nodded. It made sense.
I had a flashback I had had so many times before…
It was cold. That much I knew. Mom had been walking with me on her right. She seemed to be talking to someone other than I. I never thought to look around her – who would? So I never knew of this apparent sister. I had never seen her. I had never heard of her. Our mother seemed determined to keep us apart…
“You will be good,†she said firmly. It was not a question. She looked down. I thought she felt bad, then I saw a man handing over money. There had been more footsteps in front of us, but I never thought to look around the man…
“Whoa,†I said. I was really freaked out.
“You too?†she asked. I guessed she just had a flashback too.
“It IS true,†I whispered. And, to complete the sticky-sweetness, we hugged.

“After all the evil things he did, he deserved to die. Although, maybe death is too good for him…” Snipe said. I looked up, and yes, he was holding the ends of the rope.
“YOU GRANOLA BRAIN!” I yelled. “Killing is BAD! That’s what separates us from the BAD GUYS!” I started kicking his shins, but he stepped back.

First I ruined my toaster, then I was stunk in a boring meeting, then I added item 343 to my list of “What happens if you rely on your powers”, the item being “You nearly blown yourself up”. And to put a cherry on top of this ice-cream of doom, I had pie on my boots. Time to show people that I’d been invited for a reason. I reached into my power and went back to when Snipe grabbed the rope. When I reopened my eyes, the lab dude was still dead, with Snipe tied up instead. “Score 1:0 for me !” I thought, as everyone gawked at the sudden inexplainable change.

“TMFA!” I cried as we went in. “We recovered a spy from the lab, and-”
“-then Snipe killed him,” said Kokonilly.
“And we didn’t get any information out of him!” cried Zinc.
“However, we have discovered that the Whitecoats from the lab have something to do with the creation of Mr. Joe’s army of Mary and Gary Sues!” This new development was making me dizzy with both excitement and fear. “I propose that we send a group of spies to the lab to check out what the Whitecoats are doing, and also to possibly free the other captives so that they might fight for us. Kokonilly and I, or should I say, my sister and I, will lead everyone there, for we know the location.”

I didn’t know where the lab was, or feel the urge to run back and forth between TMFA and Snipe. When in doubt, stare someone suspicious down. They feel insecure and get nervous. In the worst case, they ignore you, which they would have done anyway. I also had an incredibly interesting dialogue with Snipe:
————TMFA comes out of the H&H with a serious look on his face: “We need to act on this. All those who know the location of the lair should leave immediately. The others will stay here with me and establish a new base, as well as deciding what to do with Snipe.” I sighed. This sounded boring. To bad TMFA hadn’t brought a pie…

Hee hee hee… this is fun!))
Still clutching the letter, I walk into the Four Seasons.
“Ah, hello, Miss Stevenson,” says one of the guests in the lobby.
“Why, hello, Mr. Johnson!” I reply.
“And where are you off to?” he asks.
“Oh, I’m just visiting a friend on the thirteenth floor.”
“Well, I’m afraid someone has given you the wrong information. There is no thirteenth floor.”
What? How can this be possible? I check the letter again. It definitely says thirteenth.
“Well, I gotta go anyway, Mr. Johnson… thanks!”
I race up the stairs, counting flights. Once I get to the top of the twelfth, I look around for anything that might activate another set of stairs. Aha! My sharp vampire eyes catch a faint impression on the wall, shaped like a grinning face. It appears to have been painted green at some point. I push it, and another flight of stairs unfolds.

in January 18th, 2009 @ 12:18I left with the “Lab” team, towards the alternate base hidden in the cliffs facing the mainland. That base wasn’t much more than living quarters, a transport hangar and a small crime lab, but it would do. All we needed was a vehicle to get to the Whitecoats’ base. The stealth jet would do nicely.

But we should try to trail someone who’s invited to join Mr. Joe- we have a labcrashing force, but we need spies to.” “And we need something to do for people who don’t fit in any of the other categories.” I think, but keep it to myself. I grab a leaf from the tree and start to wipe pie off my boots.

“I’ll just punch in the coordinates…” I said. My memory was at its’ keenest. If I closed my eyes, I could picture exactly where the lab was. I lightly punched in the coordinates and hit the ‘save’ key.
“Should we get some weapons first?” suggested Delta.

Our small group walks down the hall. There is what seems to be some sort of dial exactly the same color as the wall.
Delta gave me a quizzical look. “How did you-”
“Superintelligent,” I reminded her.
“As if that needed repeating,” said Kokonilly, but she smiled.
I closed my eyes, poking for something in my mind, for the lock code. “Ah,” I smiled after a minute. “I remember now.” I twisted the lock quickly once short left, twice around the right, back left. The lock hissed slightly, and then the door in the wall swung open, revealing a vast room full of weapons.

I fire up some of the computers and click on the geography program, searching: No inhabitants. On top of Mt. snowy doom-I’ll pass. In the middle of the desert- impossible to reach. I thin the worst one out and point to the screen. “Our news lair !” I announce, pointing at the screen filled with twenty images. “Which one ?” asked Zinc. “I suggest we use modern scientific tools to debate and determine which one offers the most advantages.” “So what are we doing now ?” “I suggest eny, meeny,miney, mo.

“TMFA left !” said Zinc. “And Snipe is gone. He must have an accomplice. Or several.” I looked at her and she looked back. “Let’s get out of here.” I suggested. (I’m trying to make my character less Mary-Sueish by running away). We headed towards the hangar. All the ships were gone, except a small one with two seats and only one central blaster. But for the size, it had an confusing array of green buttons. They were all green but one. “Which one do is push ?” asked Zinc. “Not the red one.” I answered diplomatically, having no clue myself. “You drive it.” Zinc ordered. I crossed my fingers and randomly pushed a green button. And… “This thing has windshield wipers !” I shrieked in dismay while Zinc laughed. I tried again. This time, nothing happened. “You try.” I told Zinc. She looked nervous “I don’t know which one !” “But part of your power is getting lucky !” I insisted and shoved her towards the pilots chair. She wiped out en route and hit another button. The ship took off. “Perfect !” I said and Zinc beamed.

Everyone ran inside and I began getting a little shifty. I started to go but this girl with black hair ran outside and was staring at snipe. I went outside and released some chemicals form a bottle. She got a little woozy and started talking about politics to a squirrel. I cut Snipe’s bounds and said “quick, behind those bushes”
“But I wanna help!”
“No. I’ll deal with her. They already have a reason to hate you.”
“Bu-” I cut him off with one sinister glance and then handed the muser an inhaler.
“Use this.”
“But Hillary Clinton’s a communist” but I shoved the inhaler, laced with something to make her forget the whole thing. She had no recollection of me and began going about her daily business. I pretended to be an innocent bystander while Snipe dealt with TMFA and we left in a spaceship.

in January 21st, 2009 @ 18:55((I missed a lot then… you should have stopped me from leaving! I’ll find a way out of it somehow…))
I arrive home and call my mom, who is working ((I’m assuming it’s summer and I’m off of school)). She insists that I call her whenever I enter and leave the house.
“Hi, mom.”
“Hello, honey. Did you get some shopping done?”
“Yes. I used the gift card I got for Christmas. I’m gonna go back out; I just need to drop the bags off.”
“OK, then. You’re dad will be home around 5. Be sure to call him. Don’t forget your cell phone!”
“Yeah. Bye.” I hang up and throw the bags full of clothes, books, and cat treats on the bed. I pet my fat cat for a while, then leave.
I ride the bus back to the H&H. To my dismay, everyone has left. The only indication of their presence is the blown up tree and a man lying on the ground. Under closer investigation, I discover he is dead. I throw up in a convienent bush. Shrugging, I proceed into the Hare and Hedgepig. The past couple of hours was as close to an adventure as I was going to get, I reasoned. My mind had just gotten over the shock of the explosion, so I could think about it calmly.
I order a piece of apple pie. The cashier looks at me quizzicaly as I pay.
“You’re Kyra, right?”
Surprised at the concept of a cashier knowing my name, I respond positively.
“Someone left this letter for you. He didn’t look suspicious or anything, just so you know.”
“Thanks,” I respond, taking my letter and my pie and walking to a table. I open the letter and take my first bite of the pie.Dear Kyra,
During the past week I have been watching you and have come to the conclusion that your services would be welcome in my group. It’s just me and a few friends of mine. We can offer you help with fitting in if you give your services to us. Please consider,
Mr. Joe
P.S. If you wish to join this select group, please go to the thirteenth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel and pull out the “Up†arrow button outside the elevator. This will take you to Headquarters.I gasp, getting stares. I huch down and ponder the letter over the rest of my pie. Why would Mr. Joe want me? I most definitely am not perfect. A nagging thought began to grow in the back of my mind. Perhaps he wants you because you wish you are perfect…
I dismiss the thought. I don’t want to be perfect! Everyone’s special, right? Still, it would be cool. I decide to check Mr. Joe’s hedquarters out. I could always lie my way out if I get into deep trouble.

As we flew over the roof, Zinc pushed a button that looked like a green peppermint and our chairs fell through trapdoors in the floor. Luckily, Parachutes amerged from the backs to spare us some unpleasant impacts. They were unpleasent anyway.
“You know, now we don’t have anywhere to sit and can’t bail out if the jet crashes.” Kokonilly said.
“It beats suction-cupping up 20 stories.” We untangled our straps and belts, dusted ourselves off, and headed for the vent. Though in general the building was unpleasantly sterile, the air vent was covered in great-purple beach vitex. Fire powers, anyone?

1, We would be able to survey the hotels entry hall
2, We could ask the hotels guests about any “strange people”
3, We could eat, so that we wouldn’t starve in the near future
4, We could eat for FREE and send the bill to Mr. Joes roomI headed towards the buffet and attacked it, thinking myself safely out of Mr. Joes way. I’d never been more wrong.

Zinc and I hurried up the stairs. Why couldn’t the villain have a suite on the ground floor. Just once ! But unfortunately, Mr. Joe lived on the thirteenth floor and neither of us could fly. I grew tired and more tired. Finally, several steps up the stairs, on the 7th floor, I stumbled and hit Zinc, who threw up her arms and hit the light switch. There was a suspiciously loud click and the whole staircase and the hall went dark. “Strange,” I thought, “the electricity has to be on different circuits in hotels. Otherwise the entire place would go dark if one-” The floor suddenly moved. It was as if someone had simply pulled the floor out from under our feet. We both screamed and fell-unto the very same staircase. We were of balance and fell down the landing until we hit the floor (level 7). I pulled a small flashlight attached to my keychain out and illuminated it. Whatever had happened, we were definitely not in the same place as before. Zinc found a candle on the floor and lit it, as my flashlight beam was pencil-thin. The place we were in had been abandoned, and not recently. The fancy rug on the floor had become a rag that let out clouds of dust when you stepped on it. People had just gone and left this place to decay. But why ? “Carrie, I think you should see this.” said Zinc nervously. I nodded absently, dusting of a oil painting of that battle of Waterloo hanging in the staircase. This place had been classy once. “CARRIE !” Zinc shrieked. “Get over here now.” I ran over she was shaking so badly that candle sent a jittery light. She stood in the corridor leading to rooms 77-87. I saw what she was looking at and wanted to scream myself. Enormous claws had ripped the carpet, which was also singed. Around the burns, it was a deeper red than before. I looked at the candle Zinc held and tried not to think about how it had came to lie near the scorch marks or what had happened to the previous owner. “It happened a long time ago.” I told myself, trying to keep calm. “Whatever ate the previous inhabitants wont be around anymore.” Then we heard a long, low growl…((My idea is that we (Zinc and I) tripped into a past or future form of the hotel. (future if the ruined state was caused by Mr. Joe, past if he is changing the past).))

in January 24th, 2009 @ 16:57TASHA:
The cat nods. “OK, Tasha, right this way. Mr. Joe has been expecting you.”
I follow the cat to Room 260. The door swings open, and I stare inside. This is not a normal room. I would expect to see a bed or two, a large window, a TV, a little bathroom, and a closet, but instead I see a fancy control panel, several portals, and a bunch of shiny equipment. What’s more, the room is obviously bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. The only sign of life is a humanoid sitting in one of the swivel chairs. He appears to be wearing a green hood– or at least that’s what I think at first. Then he turns around. His entire head is green. I have to restrain myself to keep from screaming.INVISIBLE GIRL:
I follow Zinc and Carrie up the steps, completely invisible. What are they doing? They’re looking for Mr. Joe, that’s obvious. But why are they taking the stairs? I’m on the landing of the 7th-floor stairs when the lights go out. I hear two screams, and frantically search for the switch. When it flicks on, I immediately see that Zinc and Carrie have inexplicably and completely disappeared. I start to freak out a little.
I reach into my pocket for my phone, so I can text someone, anyone, for help. I find two slips of paper and hold them up to my face. The first is obviously a page from the Muser Justice League phone book, from the T’s. I remember pulling it out on impulse as I ran from the about-to-explode base. The only entries I can read are:
TMFA
Head of The Official Bunch Of Random People Who Pick Superheroes (OBRPWPS)
(091)-346-7890TESSERA ROSE (ALSO SEE: The Witch in the Starspangled Jeans)
Powers: Selective gravity vortexes, the ability to make linty things fly, a cell phone and a couple dozen friends willing to teleport her tools.
(356)-781-3698I yank out my cell phone and text both of them:
SOS NEED URGENT HELP. FOLLOWED ZINC&CARRIE UP HOTEL STAIRS, THEY'VE DISAPPEARED. ALTERNATE VERSION? PLZ SEND HELP. WOULD CALL IF NOT FOR SUSPICION. WILL CONTINUE TO 13TH FLOOR INVISIBLE. -RoseQuartzI pull out the other slip of paper. It’s been torn from the Fictional Characters phone book. On one side I read the names
CULLEN, BELLA, CULLEN, CARLISLE, CULLEN, EDWARD, CULLEN, EMMETT, CULLEN, ESME, CULLEN, RENESMEE.The other side is blank.((You guys do realize what I’m trying to do with this, right?))

I would like to create an evil character. A Mary Sue; here she is:
Name:Alexandessdrally Dapplebreezemayjones (how’s THAT for a name?)
Prefers to be called: Alex.
Normal eyes: One is green and flecked with turquoise; the other is purple and flecked with gold,
Normal hair: Neon green, turquoise streaks, waistlength. Usually in a braid bun hidden by a cool hat.
Powers: A metamorphose, can fly elemental powers, and can see through walls. Boys fall in love with her whenever they see her.
History: Raised in an orphanage, she was treated cruelly by everyone around her because her eyes and hair were strange and she was so smart and pretty and funny. Same when she went to school. She stood up for herself, and was in her senior year of high school when she was walking home from her job late at night. She was cornered by some muggers in an alley, and it was then she discovered her powers. She knocked out each of them, an set them free. She’s joining Mr. Joe because someone has told her that they’re the good guys and the MJL are the bad.Whee, that was fun.))

“What, Psyche?” she hissed.
“We’re here,” I said, pointing at the metal grating. “I knowit.”
“Okay,” whispred Delta. “n the count of three, put Psyche down into the vent. CAREFULLY,” she warned, and by her tone I was sure she meant it.
“One…two…three.”
I fell gently onto the metal grating, and then when i was down Delta and Nilly did the same.
“How can we open it?” I whispered.

INVISIBLE GIRL:
Someone is coming down the stairs. I press myself to the side of the wall so she won’t bump into me and freak out.TASHA:
“So, tell me something about yourself, Tasha. We at Mr. Joe Inc. wish to know why you believe you are qualified to be a part of this top-secret organization.” The green-headed man stares me down. I can’t help noticing that he has an extremely strange grin.
“Well…” I start. “My real name is Natashiana Juliana Stevenson. I chose it for myself. Tasha’s just easier for everyone. I raised myself on the streets after being orphaned when I was three. I’ve always been able to talk to animals. I was also experimented on when I was 13, which gave me the ability to read minds and know what’s going on in other places. When I was 17, I was turned into a vampire by… Well, I’m not sure who it was. But anyway, after I became a vampire I could move things with my mind. At least, that’s what my vampire family tells me. I was adopted by rich vampires who found me on the streets. I can’t remember anything about my past, but I believe I may have been responsible for the deaths of my parents. Apparently I’ve always had a great body, and this hair is totally natural. My family tells me my eyes used to be lavender with green flecks. They’d change color with my mood. For some reason, I’ve never been attracted to human blood. We think it’s because of the experiments. I have three dragons, a griffin, and two unicorns. Animals are instinctively attracted to me. I have the best singing voice in the world and I’m the best at harp. I can charm people with my playing and singing. I speak ten different languages fluently. I have a magic sword that was handed down from my parents, who got it from a fairy. I don’t know what my necklace does, but I think it protects me from something. It says something about a prophecy, but I can’t read the rest of it.”((Hahahahahaha, that was SO FUN! She got a 102!!!!!))

I inspect the torn carpet. Being part cat, I know a lot about territory markings. The claw marks are too huge to belong to any animal I know of, and they have bloodstains and burn marks around them. Something violent happened here, long ago. But what?Then we hear a growl, and I instinctively morph. I arch my back and hiss, and my claws come out, leaving scratches in the rug like tiny copies of the huge ones. Then what was growling steps out of the shadows…

So hard that the chandelier wobbles. I try the doornob, but it doesn’t turn. The door is jammed, with now way of opening it without some tools. I start to inspect the room for clues…

I dial a number.

We peered down through the metal grating in the pipe. Beneath us were the rows and rows of cages I recalled from childhood, stretching as far as the eye could see and encased with wire fencing, lab tables, and cabinets ful of sharp tools. I could hear several of the caged humans scrabbling around in the cages, trying to get free, and other yelping, crying and yelling as they were tested on. I shuddered.
“That’s terrible,” gasped Delta.
“I know,” whispered Kokonilly. “And soon, they’ll be an army of Mary Sues.”
“We’ve got to help them,” I said. “Now we’re involved.”
“I agree,” said Delta, “but how do we get down there?”
“Kokonilly pulled a laser cutter from her pocket. “We tear this vent apart.”
“But the Whitecoats will hear us,” I said quietly.
“It’s a risk we’ll have to take,” said Delta. “Here, back up from the vent.”
Delta and I crawled back down the vent, clanging a bit as we went. Kokonilly activated the laser pointer, and soon the grating was free of the pipe. She grabbed it and put the grating back inside th vent. Now there was an open hole in the middle.
“I’ll go down first,” I offered, and the others nodded. “It’s no long fall.”
Slowly, I lowered myself through the ven and landedlightly on a testing tabl. There were no whitecoats around in the dark room.
“Come on down, guys,” I whispered. “It’s sa-”
Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm and another covered my mouth. I tried to scream, but the sound was muffled. Quickly, I struggled to get free as I was carried away.

“We’ve got the thinker,” said the whitecoat.
“I remember this one,”said another. “Always w=a handful during experiments.
“Don’t underestimate my power over you,” I grunted at the scrawny man.
“Oh, we don’t” the first whitecoat said. “In fact, your power over us is exactly what Mr. Joe wants for his team of Mary Sues. We want to harness your power for our gain.”
“Well, at least you’re…mmfh!..honest,” I said, grunting as a fist punched into my stomach. I had never been the girl with grated abs like I had seen down my row.
“Maybe you will if we show you who else we’ve caught,” said the one man, and he revealed a familiar figure: none other than Carrie Blue.
“Oh, not you too!” I cried.
“Don’t forget Zinc,” said another voice, and her face reappeared behind the same iron bars across from me.
“Now that we’ve got some leverage,” said the first, “let’s see how smart you really are.”
The second man piped up. “How about…
You recite the Magna Carta… Backwards… In Cantonese?â€
“No. As a matter of fact, I will not,” Carrie answered primly.
“I’m not talking to you!” the man hised, and a volt ofblue shock struck the cage. Both girls yelped in pain.

Name: Hera Rowe
Age: 13
Looks: Carries identical twin
Power: not fighting fair. She has the same power as Carrie, but can control it (sort of) and uses it to give her advantages in fights.
Long and tragic life story:
She’s Carries identical twin, kidnapped at birth for her special powers (Carrie slept through this peacefully, even snoring, so the kidnappers thought she was stupid and left her). She was raised by a couple under M. Joe’s command, and is completely loyal to him. Her eyes also change from green to gray when she uses her power (Carries are permanently stuck on grayish green, but she’s wearing tinted contact lenses), though she can make them any color she wants. Is also trained to fight well and speaks over 13 languages. Said to be smarter than Carrie.Carrie:
I tried not to scream as the shock buzzed through the cages, and failed. There was no way I would tell them that I wasn’t a Mary Sue. Then suddenly the door at the far end of the room opened.Hera:
I entered the room with the captives. One of them was my evil twin sister. How on earth did she get here ?
“Carrie, what on earth are you doing here ?”
“Wondering how you know me.”
“I’m your twin sister. I was brought here at birth to save the world and aid Mr Joe on his righteous quest.”
“Nice sermon. Did they make you learn it by heart at the evil indoctrination ? And if you’re my sister, why was I not taken ?”
“Because only smart people are taken.”
“You mean that Mr Joe took you because you were to stupid to know that he is evil ?”
“He is not evil ! And before you accuse people of being stupid, look at who is in the cage !”
“That’s because you’re to afraid to let me out !”
“No, I’m just not stupid enough to let someone with detail shifting powers out.”
Carrie looked over her shoulder.
“You’re the one with the power, stupid !”
“You must be really stupid to call someone with dead shingle powers stupid !”
“I’M NOT STUPID, FOR THE LAST TIME !”Carrie:
I grinned as Hera shouted. I still didn’t believe her, but it would be an interesting day all the same…(( sorry for the long post))

“Look, I’m all for sentimental battles ofhumor,” i said, as the men drew closer with their needles, “but in the meantime could we please focus on, oh, I don’t know, HELP?!?!?!”I could almost hear my vocal cords snapping as I screamed the last word with all te strength I could muster. At this point, Kokonilly an Tessera Rose broke through the door, arms raised, ready to fight. There was a moment of silence.
“Uh, Tess?” said Kokonilly as the whiteocats advanced. “What do we do now?”
“How bout some help here?” said Carrie, waving an arm through the bars of the cage.
“HEH HEM,” I cleared my throat loudly. A needle was dangerously close to my temple.

CARRIE
After Psyche tied up the scientists I looked for Hera. She said that I had… dang single powers, diddle song powers ? Whatever. Hera was nowhere to be found-strange. Then Hera suddenly emerged from nowhere and ran to the scientists, holding a remote with a red button. “You may have won the battle, but you haven’t won the war !” she shouted, put her hand on a scientists shoulder and pressed the red button. Her eyes flashed gray as she vanished, along with the scientists…HERA
I reached for my powers and pressed the red button. Instantaneously, I traveled to the future with the scientists, arriving at the same room from which I’d captured Zinc, Rainbowstar and my treasonous little sister. How had she gotten there was a mystery to me. Even if she had found one of Mr Joes portals, how did she use it without her power ? There were only three portals that worked for people without telepathic, psychic or detail shifting powers, and those were all in Mr Joes hands. Never mind that. Now I needed to take care of the scientists.CARRIE:
The was a confused babble as Hera vanished. “It must have been that remote. Or the detail shifting powers.” said Zinc. “Detail shifting powers ! That’s it !” I grabbed Zinc and Rainbowstars hands and set my mind to work. If I had stood an inch further left when Hera came…There was a bang. Suddenly I fell down- onto the carpet in the future of the hotel ! An elbow hit my face. I wasn’t alone. Both Zinc and Rainbowstar were here to… “What happened ?” asked Rainbowstar. “I used my powers and changed the fact that I was standing next to the door. That means that Hera didn’t capture me. But I don’t understand…” Hera burst in. “So you can do it !” she screamed. “Why are you here ?” I asked her. And what about the scientists ?” “I sent them away. I’m immune to your changes, and I was holding on to the scientists while the change happened. Your friends at the lab are probably wondering what happened to them. For those “heros”, this didn’t happen. Your back at the time right before I captured you. I can´t take the three of you, but I’ll be back ! Oh, and have fun with Kitty !” she ran down the corridor, then pressed the remote and vanished. Kitty… “Girls, we’re going to have company.” warned Rainbowstar, whose cat ears picked up the slightest sounds. This was not good…

in January 28th, 2009 @ 15:25I tied up the scientists. then, for good measure, I gave each of them a shot of their own medicine. Evidently, it must have been a sedative, because immediately their evil little heads dropped to their evil little shoulders and they began to snooze. I wiped my hands on my suit.
“There,” I said. “Cake.”
Suddenly, a girl ran up and dragged all three scientists away.
“Hey, give them back!” I cried, but it was too late. The girl had pressed a button and was gone. Almost immediately, so were Zinc, Carrie and Rainbowstar.
“What the cake…?” said Kokonilly, who had finished messaging Delta and the others to tell them that the coast was clear. They soon burst through the door.
“Hello,” said Delta, looking at us. “Are you two all right? Where are the others?”
“Erm…they kind of disappeared,” said Kokonilly, shrugging.
“Weird,” said Delta, shaking her head.
“While we are here, might we be able to free the others in the cages? They may be of some assistance to our cause,” I pointed out.
“Sure,” said Delta. “Let’s do it.”
We ran outside and, going by rows, released each latch on the cages. The small and large heads of mutant humans each poked out of cages. I stopped to talk to one, a boy a bit older than me. He had a short nose, red eyes, and long blonde hair. He wasn’t half bad looking.
“Hello,” I said politely. “Could you possibly tell me anything about Mr. Joe’s army of Mary Sues?”
“Yes,” he said in a deep voice. “He came in himself a day or two ago, and took about twenty of us. That’s why there are so many empty cages. He says he’ll be coming back for more tonight, and he’s ordering more and more Mary Sues to be made for his army.”
“Come on,” I said, helping him out of the cage. Then, we walked over to Kokonilly and Delta, who had just finished releasing the others.
“Guess what?” I asked them.
“What? replied Delta.
“Mr. Joe’s definetly using this lab to make his Mary Sues, and he’s coming back tonight to collect the rest.” I looked over my shoulder to see that many of the Sue-ites had already crawled and flown away up the vent. but some had stayed behind and were looking at us wonderingly.
“I think we should ambush him,” said Kokonilly.
“I agree,” I said.

in January 28th, 2009 @ 21:29I blinked. I was standing in the corrider, and carrie was over near the door. “Ugh, this is happening too fast…” I muttered, rubbing my temples.
“Girls, we’re going to have some company..” hissed ainbowtar, her ears pricking up.
I swirled around, deftly grabbing a knife from a pocket on my right forearm. “Show yourselves!” I shouted warily, my eyes search the darkness. I kept looking as my right hand reached toward a pocket that held a neccesity– a lighter. I flipped it open, and light flooded the hall. I tossed the knife to Carrie, who didn’t appear to have a weapon. She caught it, and gripped it tightly.
I muttered to her out of the edge of my mouth, “I hate ambushes.”

in January 29th, 2009 @ 08:19((313) from what was written, I assume that we were captured by Hera. To go into the that future, you need one of those remotes and some sort of metaphysical power (mind reading, detail shifting, prophesying). She came and got us, but then Carrie, after finally figuring out what her powers were, changed the past so that she wasn’t captured. But Hera, having identical powers, was immune and holding onto the scientists. Now she ditched us and were stuck with “Kitty”))
Carrie:
I grabbed Zincs knife and held it in front of me, trying to look like I knew what to do (I didn’t). Something was out there, something that:
a) had BIG claws
b) growled
c) was nicknamed “Kitty”
d) lived in a desolate future
That led me to conclude that:
a) the creature had big teeth
b) the creature was hungry
c) The creature was a member of the cat family
d) It was very unlikely that anyone else was in here (anyone alive, that is)… Best tactical course of action: Run away FAST !HERA:
After escaping the hotel and bringing the scientists to a safe place, I took out my minicomputer and called Snipe to update en on the disturbing events and ask for my next orders.((Zinc, Rainbowstar and I are in the future of the hotel, while you are in the present. That means that we ‘t be seen or captured by you !))

Rainbowstar (3 piepoints)
in January 30th, 2009 @ 18:03I was both furious and scared. Why had those scientists captured us? They’d tried to take a sample of my blood so they could study the twined strands of cat and human DNA and use the information to give Joe’s army animal morphing powers. But I hate needles. The scientist hadn’t even picked up the needle yet when I attacked him. Then Carrie saved us, and he was left with a few scratches to remind him of what happens when you help evil people. But now Hera had left us here with some hiding monster called “Kitty”, and we were hardly better off than before.
I heard the growl again, louder and angrier this time. It sounded as if “Kitty” was in the room with us! Then he (I could smell that he was male) stepped out of the shadows.
He was an enormous cat, bigger than a tiger, with the basic structure of a house cat, but much more muscular, menacing, and HUGE. And he was slowly walking toward me. I started to morph, hoping he wouldn’t kill another cat. His fur stood on end, and I smelled his fear-scent. He was frightened that a human could turn into a cat, and puzzled about whether he should kill me, whether I was one of his kind. “Kitty?” I mew, suddenly realizing how easily my dainty, slim Oriental Shorthair body could be crushed by his gigantic paws. “Don’t hurt us.”
Will he?

in January 30th, 2009 @ 22:12The monster crept out of the shadows, darkness disolving into what apeared to be a muscular tom cat larger than a liger. It’s long, coarse fur resembled tree bark, and its eyes were reminiscent of the ’emerald eye’ in some Far Side cartoon. It appeared quite menacing, and Rainbowstar transformed in her terror. Not being able to transform, I just stood there, frozen solid. Kitty was getting nearer and nearer, and I just watched him descend…
Until he licked me.
This was akin to being scraped with a peice of sandpaper saturated with sewing needles. My mind finally took over just in time to receive my scream, and Kitty perked up, skitting back down the hall. I laughed, sighed, and cried all at the same time. At least he wasn’t out to get us.

in January 31st, 2009 @ 15:16We waited on the roof, bored out of our minds. To keep ourselves busy, we told stories. I was still very concerned about the others, who didn’t appear to be resurfacing.
Suddenly, the sensors on the roof beeped loudly. I could hear a jet coming down on the landing ship.
“Did you hear that?” I asked Kokonilly and Delta.
“Yeah,” they replied. We crept over to the side of the roof. Below us was a sleek black plane barely visible in the blanket of black night. Wee could also see people climbing out, and entering the lab through the back door.
“Come on,” whispered Nilly. “Let’s go check it out.”
We glided back through the vent, the two flyers supporting me between them, and soon we were back above the lab. I looked around, and almost screamed as a pair of eyes appeared from the darkness across from us in the vent.
“Hi,” said the boy from the lab. “I was hiding out in here.”
“Quiet!” hissed Delta. “Mr. Joe is down there!”
I saw the boy shudder, and his brown eyes turned a deep red in a wink. “Keep him AWAY,” he growled in a low, animal-like voice. He sounded like a dog, or someone throwing a rock against a brick wall.
“Be quiet, um…” I said, not remembering the boy’s name.
“Slate,” he rumbled.
“Right,”I replied. “Be quiet, Slate. Please. We can’t be seen.”
“Okay,” he agreed, and together we all peered through the hole in the vent. Below us in the lab were a group of men in white trenchcoats, along with on man in a black coat with a large green face and a sadistic grin spreading wide across his face. But he didn’t seem happy.
“Where…did they go?” he said in a low, angry voice.

Age: 16
Looks: White-blond hair, blue eyes, small and thin, big white swan wings, emits radiation occasionally- an occasional hazard
Clothes: White tank top, white ruffled short skirt
Powers: Can fly, can glow and has power over light and air
History: Was raised in a laboratory, an accident with avian DNA and other dangerous created her. She ran away (I’m so original!) when they were going to auction her off to the highest bidder of a group of scientists and met a kind woman who took her in. She lived there for 2 years and went to high school. When she ran away to seek her future, she met a man who seemed friendly. She lived with him for a week and but then she realized she had been drugged the first night and had a electronic chip embedded in her so the scientists could track her down. She discovered this by listening in on a phone conversation. He turned out to be a scientist who took part in the accident that made her what she is now. She was deeply hurt and has been living alone in a small cottage ever since.

RoseQuartz/LadyG
in February 2nd, 2009 @ 18:12INVISIBLE GIRL:
I creep up the stairs silently. At the twelfth flight, I notice a green marking in the shape of a grinning face poking out of the wall. This next flight of stairs looks newer than the others, and there are pieces of plaster and wood scattered all over the floor. Is this a secret staircase?
At the door, I notice that the whole floor looks kind of… well… empty. I experience a strange feeling of foreboding. When I look down, I’m not invisible or even camouflaged anymore. I start to freak out a little. Why is this happening? I tiptoe to the nearest door and peek in. Inside are so many different machines and portals that the room’s floor can barely be seen. One of the displays reads: “Stair: ENGAGED Security: ON Power Depletion Illusion: ON Foreboding: ON”
I almost laugh, but stop myself. I’m not completely inaudible, even when I’m in my most basic invisibility state. What are they doing? There’s a girl, obviously a vampire. My hand goes instinctively to the crumpled sheet of paper in my pocket. She’s talking to a man with a green face, who’s obviously Mr. Joe. How many machines does this guy HAVE?

Rainbowstar (3 piepoints)
in February 4th, 2009 @ 22:39The enormous cat pads up to me. “I’m not going to hurt you,” he meows. “I’m just a stray experiment, and I don’t eat humans. But watch out for Kitty.” Then he licks Tessera Rose and bounds away down the hall.
I turn back into a human so I can talk to the others. “He said he doesn’t eat humans,” I explain. “But he also told me to watch out for Kitty.” There’s a stunned silence as we contemplate what, if not the giant cat, “Kitty” might be. Then someone steps out of the shadows.
She is slim and graceful, a few years older than me, and wearing a tank top and short ruffled skirt, both striped silver and black like a silver tabby cat. She has sleek white-blond hair, pale skin, and large eyes in a stunning shade of deep emerald green. The most unusual thing about her is the two large, silver-furred cat ears on top of her head. That, and the silver-and-black striped tail draped casually over her arm. She smiles pleasantly. “Catgirl,” she says in a high, pure voice. “How nice to see you again. Have you been well?”
My response catches in my throat a few times before squeaking out. “Katrina?” My sister, who I now recognize the girl as, has the same cat morphing power as me. She turns into an Oriental Shorthair too, a beautiful silver tabby with emerald eyes. She ran away from home when she was nine, and I previously had no idea she was alive.
“My colleagues call me Kitty,” she corrects me. “She’s my sister,” she explains to the others.
“Your – colleagues?” I squeak. “Who-”
“Do you think I had no plan when I ran away?” Kitty asks, but it’s a friendly question rather than an insult. “I had heard of Mr. Joe, and his army is the perfect place for someone like me. I just never felt I belonged with an ordinary family, and now I have a better one. I can use my powers to their fullest extent. Did you know I have nine lives? You don’t, though. I’m so sorry. But Mr. Joe doesn’t discriminate. He’ll let anyone into his army, even someone whose excuse for a power is being clumsy, or someone who will always live in the shadow of their much smarter twin. He can find a use for anyone.” Now her voice has an edge to it, as though preparing for a fight, and her tail is standing straight up.
“I’ll never join Mr. Joe,” says Zinc. “My loyalty is to the Muser Justice League.”
“Me neither,” says Carrie. “I won’t end up like Hera.”
“I – I won’t join you,” I stammer. “So it seems like you’re out of luck for new recruits.”
“I was warned you might refuse,” says Kitty, her tail now fluffed out and her ears flattened back. She takes a small spray bottle of clear liquid from a pocket in her skirt. “Stand still.”
“What’s going on? What is that?” I ask, panicking.
“RUN!” shouts Carrie. I try to run away, as do Carrie and Zinc, but Kitty grabs me by the neck. Her nails are long and painted silver. “Sorry,” she says, and sprays a sweet-smelling white mist into my face. By the time she lets go of my throat, all I can do is collapse.
((I’m not dead.))

in February 5th, 2009 @ 22:52A girl steps out of the shadows, and Rainbowstar seems to recognize her.
“Do you think I had no plan when I ran away?†Kitty asks, but it’s a friendly question rather than an insult. “I had heard of Mr. Joe, and his army is the perfect place for someone like me. I just never felt I belonged with an ordinary family, and now I have a better one. I can use my powers to their fullest extent. Did you know I have nine lives? You don’t, though. I’m so sorry. But Mr. Joe doesn’t discriminate. He’ll let anyone into his army, even someone whose excuse for a power is being clumsy, or someone who will always live in the shadow of their much smarter twin. He can find a use for anyone.â€
I was quite annoyed at the “excuse for a power is being clumsy” comment. I was flexible in months past, now I’m just a technology whiz and… klutzy. I can see Carrie’s face getting all scrunched up, she too miffed at Kitty’s comment about her.
I said, as bravely as I could, “I’ll never join Mr. Joe. My loyalty is to the muser Justice League.”
“Me neither. I’ll never end up like Hera,” stated Carrie.
“I-I won’t join you,” Rainbowstar stammered out. “So it seems like you’re out of luck for new recruits.â€
“I was warned you might refuse,” tsked Kitty. She took out an aerosol bottle of a clear liquid. “Hold still,” she said haughtily as she shook it up.
“RUN!” Rainbowstar yelled, and I did so, Carrie in tow. I only here two other thuds behind me, so I turn around to run backward. Kitty was hauling away an unconsious Rainbowstar!
“HEY– agh!” I yelled. My foot caught on the edge of the carpet, and I fell. I could feel the approach of footsteps as I scrambled to get back up. I pushed myself up with my arms, but right as I was in position to continue running, I felt enormous pressure on my leg. I shrieked, and twisted my head to see who it was.
Grabbing my neck with long pink nails, a girl with waist length auburn hair grabs me and sprays more of of the liquid in.
I managed to bite her wrist, and the last thing I was remembered was a curse.

in February 6th, 2009 @ 11:13Zinc dragged me along the hallway, then fell. Now would be the moment for a heroic return, but unfortunately this scene was lacking a hero. I did what I do best in fighting situations- run away fast. But “Kitty” was faster. Why didn’t experience pay of when it should ! She sprayed that weird mist at me and… “Achoo ! Achoo achoo, achoo !” I sneezed. Then girl stared at me, shook her bottle and tried again. I sneezed and wheezed. Plus, my nose started running and I could practically feel my face turning red and blotchy. “What’s in that stuff ?” I gasped as soon as I caught my breath. “You’re allergic to knockout spray ! It’s supposed to be hypo-allergic ! How can this be ?” “Maybe I’m allergic to that ?”. Kitty sighed. “Then I’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way !” she growled, transforming into an enormous cat and jumping at me. I desperately wished I’d brought that tennis racket I’d seen in the hall… Swish… stared down at the battered remains of an old tennis racket in my hand and the unconscious cat on the carpet. So that was how it worked ! I wished for a TV, a computer and a radio in quick succession… it didn’t work. Maybe not that easy. First things first- I grabbed the unconscious cat and locked it into the next bathroom. Wait a minute ? Why was there still a cat in the hall ? “Cake !” I muttered. Rainbowstar had transformed in her sleep. I locked the other cat into another bathroom and hoped that Rainbowstar wouldn’t be to mad. How was I supposed to tell the difference between to related unconscious oriental shorthair cats ? I’d never even a shorthair cat before this day ! Since they were both safely locked up, I went over to Zinc and waited for her to wake up. Finally, I got bored and left in search of a bucket of cold water…

We watched Mr. Joe though the vent. So that was the vile scum we had heard so much about. Could we really defeat him? Unlike some of the others on the team, I hadn’t been born superhuman…
I used to work for a company called International Innovations that invented all sorts of useful gadgets for various purposes. A developer at one of II’s factories in France had created a jetpack fueled by a special form of plasma. I had been one of the pilots chosen for the test flights.The engine had stalled in mid-air on my first flight with the jetpack. I had opened the emergency parachute, only to come down on power lines. I spent six months in the hospital having my burns and broken bones treated, not to mention the strange things the plama had done to my systems. TMFA heard about that and recruited me for the MJL as soon as I was fully healed.

I crept through the old ventilation system. Well, not quite crept. More like flew. Simple thing really. Just use simple magnetics. Odd. It wasn’t old when I was here last. Perhaps the future? Never mind. I slid out of the ventilation system, and noticed a girl lying on the ground. Apperently, she heard me, because she said “Is anyone there?”
To amuse myself, I said “I am.”
The girl got up quickly, and pulled out a swiss army knife.
“Show yourself!” She said.
“Ooh, how scary.” I said, and zapped her hand.
She dropped the knife. This was fun.

I am in a small, bare room, lying on a cold stone floor. How did I get here? I was with Carrie, Zinc, and Tessera Rose in the big dark room, and I met my sister .. Kitty, I think she called herself.

Bzzt! “Agh! You friggin JERK! Wung buttons! That HURT!” I exclaimed, while sucking on my throbbing hand.When my hand finally lessened the pain, I let it out of my mouth. “Now, show yoursel–”
BZZT! “Agh! Stop DOING that!” I yelled. “Seriously!”
I stalk over to a bathroom, fuming at the chuckles I hear behind me. I locked the door with a click and sat on the cushoined toilet seat and pulled out some of my anti-burn cream. I spread it on my hand, wincing at the slow ache that it produced. But it was effective, and I was burned. So I endured the pain, and then took off my trench coat. Looking in the largest pockets near the bottom, I searched for what I needed. “Nope, that’s the solar-powered compactable car… nah, I don’t have any use for a recorder now… aha! Here it is!” I said, holding up a 15 lb. cloak.
I had invented it a year before. My invisibility cloak. I rather liked the name, but it wasn’t magic. All technology (that’s why it weighed 15 lb.!).
It looked black, but when it felt me, and only my touch would activate it, it changed into a chameleon skin. I put back on the trench coat, then slipped it on, shivering at the familiar coolness of the cloth. I was reaching for the lock when it hit me. I slapped my forehead. The guy could shock me, right? When he say the door creak open, he would shock the place where I would be standing! And who knows what eletricity could do with the circuits in the cloth?!
Not taking any chances, I lasered a hole in the wall with my laser pen, just the right size for me to get out of. I clambered to the next room.
Then I thanked my lucky stars that i was wearing the cloak.

I had spent my life in a cage, eating what the men let me eat, sleeping when they let me sleep, and doing whatever they wanted for their experiments. It was terribly cruel. We were like animals, myself and the other children. And every day, were were injected with a strange serum that made our brains larger. I knew more, but I didn’t have to learn.

I meander through the hotel, a bucket in one hand. I’d originally went to look at it, but then HAD to find out if there was a buffet in the future. There wasn’t, so I grabbed the bucket from the concierges desk and left after reading the hotel managers diary. Boring whining about the dark and no mention of food. There was this weird kid standing in the hall. “Hera !” he shouted. I walked up to him, stared at him dourly and stuck the bucket on his head. “Hey !” he protested. “What’s wrong with you ?” I gave him a smack on the head with the tennis racket which I’d retrieved. Zinc wasn’t here anymore, so I left him talking to the tapestry and went of in search of someone to complain to. Just as I walked into suite 76, someone invisible walked into me. “No fair ! Look, Mr. Invisible dude, thing, person…Whatever you are, I’m having a really bad day. So get out of my way and whatever you do, don’t call me Hera !”

Rainbowstar (3 piepoints)
in February 8th, 2009 @ 21:41((Sorry for the really long post.))
I slowly get up, fighting the lingering effects of … something. Once again, I try to figure out what happened between refusing to join Kitty and waking up here. I can’t. But the important thing now is to find a way out.
I notice a large wooden door, which I must have come in through. Assuming it’s unlocked, I’ll need hands to open it, so I decide to demorph. The drowsiness makes it hard for me to concentrate, but I try to focus on my human body. Before I can actually morph, though, I am pounced on and pinned to the ground.
I am looking up at another Oriental Shorthair she-cat, a sleek silver tabby with emerald green eyes. I would recognize her anywhere. Kitty.
I pummel her belly with my back legs, causing her to loosen her grip enough for me to spring up. Just as quickly, she has me pinned back down. I suddenly realize how easily she could unsheathe her claws and tear my throat open. “How did you get here?” I hiss, trying to sound threatening. “What do you want?”
“You,” she snarls. “You and the others. Preferably turned to Mr. Joe’s side, but dead if you won’t. And I got here through a trapdoor in my room. Found it in five seconds. And don’t ask ‘what room’, it was another pathetic prison one of your allies obviously put me in after resorting to a tennis racket to fight me. Oh, and she probably put you in here too, while you were unconscious. Does that answer all your questions?” Her head is so close to mine that her whiskers brush my muzzle, and
Cats can make over 100 vocal sounds. I’m not sure the sound I made was one of them. It was the cat equivalent of “Wow” or maybe “Eep”, but I made it as I was demorphing, so it sounded really weird.
Kitty hadn’t expected me to think of demorphing, and soon I am towering over her, with the advantage of opposable thumbs. I reach for the doorknob, but before I can even touch it someone calls my name. “Rainbowstar!”
I instinctively turn around, but instead of another superhero come to rescue me, I see Kitty. She’s human again, and smiling. “Sooo gullible,” she smirks as she lunges and grabs me by the neck. I fruitlessly struggle against her squeezing grip, and she pulls out a small spray bottle of clear liquid. Something’s familiar about this …
“You know,” Kitty says as she shakes it up, “I never told you why you were unconscious.” She aims the bottle at my face, and in the moment before she sprays the liquid, I remember what happened after I refused to join Mr. Joe. Just as the tiny droplets of mist come out of the bottle, I shove her so that the mist sprays into her face. Her eyes open wide with shock, but so do mine as I realize the mist also sprayed me. As I sink into blackness, the last thing I see is Kitty falling with me, her lips curved into a contented smile.

in February 11th, 2009 @ 16:03((285 – Bella’s last name is Swan, not Cullen. It isn’t really important, but if we’re going to have Twilight characters in this we should get their names right.))
I open my eyes. I’m still in the small, bare stone room, lying on the floor. What happened?
I sit up, and see Kitty lying next to me, her eyes closed. I now remember our fight. I must be awake earlier than her because more of the spray got sprayed in her face than mine.
She’s still holding the spray bottle. Taking care not to wake her, I ease it from her hand. She shifts position and mumbles something. Just to be safe, I spray some more of the liquid in her face. “Mmmf,” she says, and lies still.
I notice a lump in her pocket. Could be something important. As she’s asleep, I carefully pull the mystery object out.
It’s a smooth black disk, a little bigger than a quarter. Most of its surface on one side is taken up by a red button. No words, no other features, just a little disk with a red button.
My finger hovers above the button. For what seems like an eternity, I debate whether to push it. But finally, I shove it in my suit’s pocket along with the spray bottle, and open the door.
I’m in the big dark room where I first met Kitty. I hear an electric zap, and the voices of Zinc and Tessera Rose.
BZZT!
“Agh! Stop DOING that! Seriously!â€
“Here. Maybe this will help you concentrate.”
Having better-than-human night vision, I soon spot them over in a corner. Zinc’s wearing a carnelian necklace.
I creep quietly over to them. “What did I miss?”

in February 11th, 2009 @ 21:11As the girl continued ranting, I calmly stood there and snickered. When I finally noticed that the girl and a cat were staring at me as if I was Mr. Joe himself (the idea offends me), I decided to have some more fun. I said this:
“Hi. I’m from the Mr. Joe Brainwashing Co., and I’m here to suck out your brains and feed them to buzzards.”
Well, what do you know? They took me seriously. They seemed about to attack. Or to run away. I’m not sure. They attacked. Dang. The cat started to shift into a human. The other vanished. Invisibility?! This wasn’t my day. Oh well. I filled the room with sparks to ‘smoke them out’. ZZZTTT! “Aagh!” “Wung buttons!” Now that I knew where they were, I pinned them against the walls. Then, I spoke.
“Hi. I’m actually Electro. Superhero, electricity controller, and annoyer extrordinare. It looks like you aren’t too happy with me. But, who cares?”

The hall was smoking. What had happened now ? Was Mr Joe attacking ? If so, the best course of action would be to hide. But if the hotel was burning, that wasn’t a good idea. The smoke cleared slightly and I decided to look out. Zinc shouted at the sparking dude and Rainbowstar and Tessera didn’t look to happy either. Deciding to leave matters in their expert hands (or paws), I looked around the room for a weapon, as my tennis racket was broken, the string ripped or singed off. But there was no time. I checked the closet. A broom, some clothes, a black messenger bag and a dark bundle on the floor. I grabbed the bundle. It was a diary, wrapped up in faded red cloth. I paged through it. the last entry was February 15, 2018, and it was quite brief: “The hotel is scheduled to be destroyed today. The protest has failed. The green governments special forces are rounding up and killing the protesters. I’m hiding in the hotel. Please let them not find me. There are footsteps in the corridor… HELP !” The last word was scrawled across the page

in February 12th, 2009 @ 08:37((356-THANK you! finally!))
PSYCHE:
Below us, it was becoming clear just what kind of trouble we were in.
“I will ask you one more time,” growled Mr. Joe, and he snatched up one of the whitecoats by the neck. “Where…is…my…ARMY?”
“I don’t know!” squeaked the stout man who was slowly turning blue. “Th-they were here when we left…please…”
The green faced man dropped the whitecoat to the ground with a loud thunk. Then, he turned to the second in command. “Look, Julian, find them. And bring me back the heroes, too. They will all suffer the same fate.” Then, he turned around and walked out the door, with the rest of them in tow. The blue-faced whitecoat still lay on the ground, motionless.
“Is he…” stammered Kokonilly.
“Yeah,” I choked.
Delta sqeaked. I gasped. Nilly shook her head. Slate sat motionless across from me in the vent.
“Gah,” was all I could manage when I tried to speak. But Delta picked it up.
“We have to go,” she said. “But first…” And she dropped out of the vent into the lab.
“What are you doing?” I hissed.
“Follow me!” she motioned. I leapt out after her, with Kokonilly and Slate in tow. We walked over to a large black box on the wall labeled ‘Power Source’.
“Ah!:” I exclaimed. “Disabling the systems!”
“Can you?” asked Kokonilly.
“Yeah,” I replied, and opened the door to the power box. There were masses of wires inside, but with one quick slice to the left with a sharp pocketknife from a nearby table cut them all cleanly. The ends of the wires fizzed with electricity, and then the lights went out.
“Great,” groaned Kokonilly. “Now we can’t see.” But there was a red glow from next to me. Slate’s eyes were glowing.
“Cool,” I breathed.
“I have night vision,” he replied. “Grab my arm. Then take Kokonilly’s and Delta’s.” We did. “Okay, now walk behind me. ”
We trudged in the dark back across the lab, my legs hitting several things. I tried not to think about the whitecoat laying close nearby. Then, we were out of a door, and into the cool night breeze.
“Let’s go, ” said Delta, leading the four of us back to the ship.
“Where?” I asked.
“Back to Mr. Joe’s hotel,” she said. “That’s where he’ll be next.”
“Oh, fun,” I rolled my eyes, and we entered the ship hold once more.((Smallbutfierce, you can jump in at any time.))

In only a decade, Mr Joe had managed a coup d’etat and built up and effective military. I stuffed the book into the bag, grabbed the broom and ran out to announce my discovery.

“Unconscious and locked in that room,” I say, pointing at the door. “She attacked me, but I managed to put her to sleep with the knockout spray. Then I took the spray. Should come in handy.”
I dig the spray bottle out of my pocket, followed by the black disk with the red button. “This was in her pocket. What do you think it is?”

“Guys guess what I found !” I shout and run out. Utter chaos. Rainbowstar is trying to show something to Zinc, Zinc is trying to throttle Electro, who was keeping cool (as opposed to everyone else). I decided that Zinc and Electro might be a tad busy, so I went over to Rainbowstar. She was holding something familiar… that remote Hera had used ! “That’s what I call simplicity. Plain and obvious. I wonder what happens when I push the red button ?” I reached over to press it…

A small click sounded as Carrie’s finger connected with the small red dot, and I felt the floor fall through us. There was a flash of white light, I caught a glimpse of the Netherworld- and I discovered myself and Electro in a cage in a completely different place. Rainbowstar and Carrie were standing outside. “Well, that was an interesting experience,” Electro said, leaning back.
“Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm…” I muttered to myself.
“Where are we?” Rainbowstar said.
“Probably somewhere in a labratory,” I spat out.
“We must have goten here through magic-he could’ve used a Mary Sue to magick it for him-or he’s developed a teleportation device, which wouldn’t surprise me,” Carrie said thoughtfully.
“Then why are we in here?” Electro said, looking amused.
“I guess you guys weren’t touching the remote,” Rainbowstar shrugged.
“So I’m stuck with KlutzGirl here until we find a way out of this?” Electro said smoothly.Rainbowstar and Carrie exchanged nervous glances. They knew how much I hated my codename.
“My-name-isn’t-KLUTZGIRL!” I screamed, and socked him in the jaw.

But this person, I decided, was too easy. I would make friends, help them, then drive her mad. Or maybe not.
“Ok, ok. Chill.” I said.

I peeked. She was right.
“Your powers have come back!” she exclaimed.
“I don’t think so,” I said, befuddled.
“Whyever not?” Carrie said.

“I wonder what would happen if I pressed the button again !”, I said, amused. This remote was even better then running away- faster, easier and more comfortable. Now I could threaten people with sending them to a parallel universe ! Cool.
“If you shook me, I´ll send you to a parallel universe !”
“I’d like to see you try.”
Wung buttons. I needed to work on my poker face.
“I liked you better when you were in that cage.”
“Shows how much you know about lightning.”
“Wait a minute !”argued Zinc. “I have dibs on strangling him !”
“Well, though luck !”
“Am I supposed to be scared ? Because both of you together couldn’t pose the slightest threat-unless you’re afraid of pie on your boots.” Electro snickered.
“Stop it, all of you ! Save it for Mr Joe.” shouted Rainbowstar.
“Let’s figure out this remote first.”
“I know, it’s a nonscio petere temporis et ubivolui !” I said.
“Which means ?” asked Rainbowstar.
“I haven’t the foggiest.” I admitted.
“New approach, guys. Before we start theorizing, let’s find out where we are.” commanded Zinc.
“Who died and left you smart ?” asked Electro.

“Poke! Poke! Poke!†I heard as I woke up in a jumbled heap…
Last thing I remember was being knocked out by a girl they called “Kitty” in a alternate future/past I was sent to after I accidentally gave Mr.Joe a third degree burn while he was examining me. Mr. Joe had discovered me 9 years ago when he heard of the inexplicable fire ( caused when I was having a temper tantrum and knocked a can of olive oil onto the gas stove with my telekinesis.) that killed everyone except me, a 3 year old. Mr.Joe found me and adopted me. I hated him from the start, when he put me in a cage. After a few more temper tantrums he let me have more free rein to satisfy me. But when I started letting other kids out of their cages and several escaped he didn’t know what to do with me. From then on I went thru several guards, sending most of them to the mental hospital, after playing tricks with the telepathy I could control. It was recently when Mr.Joe came to check my progress in telekinesis. I had no improvement, as usual. But instead of strangling the guy who is supposed to teach me, but doesn’t as he is afraid of mt telepathy tricks, Mr.Joe strangled me. Then, in a sudden burst of flame I found myself to be a phoenix and Mr Joe with a third degree burn…. the rest is history.
I fluttered weakly in the direction the pokes were coming from. Landing in the middle of the commotion I managed to give a plea of help before I promptly collapsed….
