Also, @Khal Mengo , how many bullets (if any) could Thurmond take right now?

I'm hurt by Daniel's mis-observations. Sure, Andrew is whaling on Aztech, but there's a bright red bubble around him that's soaking all the hits. Sure, it's not a sphere, but still.
Although from a distance and with the bad light I guess it could just look like he's actually hitting him. Fine.

Anyway I suppose if it misses and he notices Daniel, I'll pop the bubble and just start trying to goo him down. It won't work, since he'll just tear it up with superstrength, but it might wear him out. Let him just get all that anger out. Throw that tantrum, kid, so Aztech doesn't need to beat you up on national TV.

Andrew single-handedly defending himself against half a dozen supers like

Mr. Hayashi quietly observing it all like

Actually that prompts a question. Why create a character whose whole thing seems to be that they're a passive observer? Wouldn't that role be served just as well by just lurking the IC thread and posting here?
UNLESS there's some strange long game here that I'm not picking up on.

Mr. Hayashi is far from passive, as you will see as the RP develops.

He is writing everything down.

He knows all the major events of the RP.

And he can enter your dreams.

What to do, what to do.

I've edited Optical's post to reflect Ashton's edit.

From this

Satisfied that the shooters couldn't shoot her (and wanting to avoid the angry child), Optical dismissed the shield she stood on and made her way back down to the roof, landing beside the bubbled shooters. Optical kicked away any weapons she could see and put a barrier between them and the duo, keeping her needle gun trained on Derek as he was still conscious.

She eyed Sandra, then said to Derek, "This building is on fire. If you don't attack me, I'll do my best to get you both free of that and get us out of the line of fire, and try stabilize her."

Optical took out a knife and tried to hold it unthreateningly, unsure if it would make a dent in the goo, and waited for a response.

"This building is on fire," Optical informed them. "I presume you don't want to be glued to the roof if it collapses. Cooperate, and I'll remove enough of that so you can walk, and the three of us can move out of the line of fire. Don't cooperate, and I'll knock you out and get you free of the roof anyway. I'd prefer the former option."

If video games have taught me anything, it's that a red shield is about to pop. Besides, your posts are like the length of a Game of Thrones/Harry Potter/Bible lovechild.

Not if it starts red. Which is unfortunately not something games do. Probably because we're so used to that color scheme.

And I mean, I'm accustomed to writing long. That seemed to be the major criterion by which quality was measured for the RP forums I cut my teeth on.
Although in retrospect they may just have defined things that way as a relic of most of them apparently coming from the Neopets RP boards.

What?

i forgot to quote
my b

neopets had RP boards?

On the chat boards, sure. It was its own section.
That 400 character limit though. JFC.

Thurmond could probably take about 20 something, he's more anti-bludgeoning than anti-piercing

@Doc

It's your time to shine

Something seemed to give, and Optical's eyebrows shot up. Did that work or did I just hit a bubble...?

AKA: Doc, would Optical's methods successfully cut free the goo, or is she making much less progress than she thought? I'm fine with either option, since one involves success and the other involves humour.
