When you wake up from your nap, you feel refreshed, but also somewhat unhappy at how much time you've had to spend sleeping thanks to your powers. They just seem to burn so much of your energy that using them for more than a minute or two can put you out of commission for hours. If Blood really did give you these powers, you can only assume he meant for you to rely heavily on your prior combat training and only use them sparingly. But, you can't remember much of anything from those days, so you can't know for sure.

Great. That's going to be a common theme for quite some time with you. An entire lifetime of memories lost, and only a few short weeks to begin creating new ones. As much as you love the Titans, as much as you love your new life, you can't help but feel frustrated every time you realize how little you know about yourself.

Part of you regrets not accepting Blood's offer.

Well, nothing to be done for that right now.

And, as you think about it, not a whole lot else to do right now. Robin and Raven are busy doing some research, and it's getting dark. Not that you really feel like going out and about in the city after today's events, but your options are much more limited because of that.

Might as well see what Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire are up to. Maybe they'll have an idea of something fun to do. It beats sitting alone in your room, in any case. Getting up out of bed and fixing your hair, you open the door and step into the hall, only to find yourself subjected to a strong, unpleasant stench assaulting your nose. You can't place what exactly it is, but it doesn't take long for you to figure out where it's coming from.

Turning to your right, you're greeted by the sight of Beast Boy and Cyborg, the latter of whom has his arms tucked behind his back. The stench is clearly coming from them, or, most likely, from whatever Cyborg is holding behind his back. Each of your friends is grinning, though something about those grins makes you feel a little uneasy.

"Well, look who's up," Cyborg says joyfully. "We were just coming to check on you, man."

"We know you're new to the team, but we think you've been here long enough to get in on the greatest sensation sweeping the nation," Beast Boy tells you eagerly.

"Or, the stinky sensation sweeping the tower," Cyborg corrects.

Beast Boy points at you. "Kid Crimson, you have been selected to take part in the one, the only, the stinky and stupendous game of Stank Ball!"

Cyborg finally reveals what he was hiding behind his back, and your face scrunches up from the smell as it somehow becomes stronger. He's holding what looks like a bunch of dirty socks (and even some underwear) all neatly packed together in a foul-smelling ball.

>A. "Alright, how do we play?"

"Please tell me we're not going to throw Beast Boy's dirty clothes at each other," you groan.

The two share a look, their grins only widening, and giving you your answer before they even have the chance to say it.

"That's exactly what we're doing, dude!" Beast Boy tells you excitedly. "Your job is to not get hit as much as possible, and hit us with it as much as possible."

"We keep going until the stank takes all but one of us down!" Cyborg tells you, pumping his fist in excitement.

Okay, it is a chance to kick their butts at something, and with your barriers, you could actually do very well at this. But, maybe you should draw the line at throwing "stank" balls at each other.

>A. "Alright, I'm in."

>B. "I'm good."

>>2236534
>>C. "Please tell me we're not going to throw Beast Boy's dirty clothes at each other."

>>2236656
>Although dodgin stinky balls could be a good trainning...no, nope not doing it.

That's why I decided to accept. Even when we spar with Robin we know he's not gonna hurt us for real, this is as close to real combat conditions as we can get, where there are real consequences to losing.

>>2236679
Train with Rose more often, and push her buttons while you do it. She'll put you in the med ward after every match.

>>2236627
>B. "I'm good."

>>2236635
"I'm good," you answer, slowly backing away and preparing to raise a barrier in case of sudden attack by smelly projectiles.

Beast Boy and Cyborg look disappointed, but just kind of shrug it off. Cyborg turns and throws the ball against the side of Beast Boy's head, and the changeling is knocked to the floor. Grabbing the ball and standing back up, Beast Boy proceeds to take the form of a gorilla and chase Cyborg down the hall.

You shake your head at their antics, double-taking when you see something out of the corner of your eye.

Turning toward your door, you see someone outside your window, seemingly clinging to the glass and looking in at you. They're wearing armor that you recognize as belonging to the HIVE, complete with some kind of weird bee-helmet covering their face. Once you make eye contact, they wave at you, then point to the window, seeming to be requesting that you open it.

Your first instinct is to run and get the others, but somehow, you have the sense that you've seen this person before. That seems especially odd since they're hidden by armor and a helmet, but still, you can't shake the feeling that you know them.

Eh, what's the worst that could happen?

>Eh, what's the worst that could happen?

We let an agent of the HIVE into Titans Tower.

>>2236787
Curiosity and this sense of familiarity win out, and you step into the room, shutting and locking the door behind you before approaching the window. The visitor shifts over to give you room to open it, but does not move or act beyond that until you begin to crack the window open.

"Try anything funny, and you'll regret it," you warn.

"I'm not here for a fight," a male voice assures you as you open the window the rest of the way.

The figure slowly moves into your room, stepping away from the window and removing his helmet, revealing a head of short, brown hair. He turns around, and that feeling of knowing this person magnifies a thousand times over. He's about your age, blue-eyed, looking at you with a sad expression.

"Peter," he greets almost longingly. "It's...well, I wish I could say it's good to see you, but seeing you like this definitely isn't good."

He turns around and walks to your dresser, setting his helmet down on top of it. In the mirror, you can see him close his eyes as he takes a deep breath.

"Do you remember me?" he asks, turning to face you once again.

>>A. "I feel like I know you, but I can't remember."

>>B. "Please tell me you're not here to beg me to come back to the HIVE."

"I feel like I know you," you answer, walking over to the dresser and picking up the HIVE member's helmet. "But I can't remember."

Turning to him, you push the helmet into his hands, then move yourself to stand between him and the door, providing some level of defense to the rest of the tower if he tries anything funny.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" you demand, crossing your arms.

He cracks a smile for a brief second. "That's just like you, S- Peter. No nonsense and straight to business."

His smile doesn't last, and his sad look returns. "I go by Linus these days, but you knew me as Simon back when we used to work together. We were partners in training and a lot of assignments, and both got selected to be part of Blood's special team. We were best friends, even if you can't remember."

You don't say anything, instead waiting silently for him to get to the point of why exactly he's here. Even so, the name "Simon" does sound quite familiar, and deep down, you believe that he's telling you the truth right now. Maybe he was your best friend back then.

"I'm just here to talk," he tells you, sounding sincere as he backs up and leans against the wall. "When Blood told us all what happened to you, I didn't believe it. I don't think any of the others did, either. But a few of us overheard the chats he was having with you, so....well, I had to see for myself."

He looks around your room, shaking his head in disbelief. "I never pictured you like this, Peter. I figured the only time you'd be hanging around Titans Tower would be after we took them down."

He looks to the floor. "But, you're one of them, now. And if Blood couldn't convince you to come back, I doubt I'll have much better luck."

>>A. "You're right about that."

>>B. "Blood mentioned we were supposed to do something more than defeat the Titans. What else were we supposed to do?"

>>C. "Why did you come, then? You saw for yourself, so what's your reason for staying to chat?"

>>2236905
>>2236893
"If we really were friends, I'm sorry," you tell him, meaning it. "But, I'm not coming back, and things can't be the way they were again."

"I know," he says, keeping his head down. "I didn't come to beg you to come back. I came to beg you to leave. You need to get out of Jump City, and get as far away as you can."

"Why?" you ask, wondering what information you can get out of him.

"Because it's starting soon," he warns, lifting his head to look you in the eye. "Blood says it's only a few months at most before we finish the project's mission. When that happens, Titans Tower, and every Teen Titan will be killed. You may not be one of us anymore, you may not even remember me, but you were my best friend, so I at least owe this much to you. I don't want you to die. And, I won't lie to you, when all's said and done, you'll probably die anyway. But if you leave the city and don't get involved, you'll live just a little longer, and won't have to suffer."

That raises several more questions. And, despite him saying that you're going to be dead, it doesn't sound like he's threatening you. He's more just stating a fact that even he's not happy about. The more this guy talks, the more you believe that the two of you were really friends, and that he genuinely is trying to help you in his way.

>>2236977
>>2236953
>>2236947
"What is Blood planning?" you ask him. "What's this project? What were we supposed to do?"

He looks at you, opens his mouth to say something, then shakes his head. "Sorry, but I can't let too much slip or Blood will have my head for sure. I wasn't even supposed to come here, but I can handle some punishment."

He looks around for a moment, but doesn't seem to find what he's looking for. Then, he seems to consider something, and finally speaks again, though you can firmly say you did not expect the kind of answer he gives.

"Twenty. Seven," he says.

"Twenty-seven?" you ask.

"No, not one number," he tells you in a low hiss. "Twenty, colon, seven."

"What in the world does that mean?" you ask.

Simon...or Linus, or whatever his name is, shakes his head at you again. Honestly, you're starting to get tired of that.

"I can't say any more than that," he says with finality. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you helping Blood?" you demand, getting more and more frustrated by the moment.

This time, it's not even because of the vague answers. You're really more confused and upset that someone who clearly cares about you, so much so that he's willing to risk Blood's wrath to try and help you, is working for Blood and the HIVE. He came to try and save your life (or at least let you live longer), so he can't be all bad.

"Because Blood saved my life," he answers, sounding defenseless. "He's given me everything, and I owe it to him to repay that debt. I can't just forget all he's done for me like you did, even if I wish I could."

He lowers his head again. "Besides, whether I'm there to help it or not, it's going to happen. Blood's plan is going on without you, and it can go on without me. The only difference is that if I help it, I'll stay alive."

He puts his helmet back on and steps toward the window, looking back at you one last time. "Goodbye, Peter. I really hope we don't see each other again."

That sounds harsh, but you get his meaning. Next time the two of you meet, you're going to have to fight as enemies.

He turns his back to you and prepares to leave.

Once you're sure that he's safely left the island, you take out your communicator and call the other Titans while you unlock your door and step out into the hallway. You give them a quick rundown of what just happened, and what information you got from your conversation.

"Peter, it's great that you got some information, but why would you let a member of the HIVE into Titans Tower?" Robin asks in a scolding tone.

"What's the big deal?" Beast Boy asks. "How many times have we let Jinx in here?"

"Not the time, man," Cyborg tells him.

"20:7" Raven repeats. "Maybe we should take a look at some religious texts."

"See what you can find," Robin instructs. "While Raven checks her books, the rest of you can search the internet. If this does have some kind of religious meaning, it shouldn't be hard to find. Peter, I want to see you in my room. Robin out."

While the others go to look for information, you make your way to Robin's room, as instructed. You find his door open, and him sitting at a desk, going through old newspapers from the looks of it. He looks over and silently motions for you to come in.

"Why did you decide to let him in?" Robin asks, not sounding angry, more curious.

>>A. "I was curious."

>>B. "He seemed familiar, and I wanted to know why."

>>C. "If it makes you feel any better, I did lock my door and kept in front of it so he wouldn't go farther into the tower."

Also, if we'd gone outside to him, there could have been an ambush. This way we had home field advantage if something went wrong. I don't know if KC thought of that, though.

"He seemed familiar," you answer to Robin. "And I wanted to know why."

"I can understand that, but doing something like letting a HIVE member into the tower because you think you know them is careless and irresponsible," Robin tells you.

"If it makes you feel any better, I locked the door and made sure to put myself between him and the rest of the Tower," you offer.

"Alright, so you weren't entirely careless, but you still took a serious risk and could have put not only yourself, but the entire team in danger," Robin responds. "I'm going to give you a pass this time, but don't do something like that again without at least consulting one of us."

You don't need to ask what will happen if you do; one look at Robin's face makes it crystal clear that you won't like the consequences of repeating that action. He's giving you a warning this time and explaining the rules, but next time, knowing full well that you shouldn't and why you shouldn't, you will be punished in some way. And, despite being the only non-powered member of the team, Robin is possibly the last person you want to make angry.

"That's all I wanted," Robin says, turning back to his desk. "You can go now."

>>A. "I have to ask something first" (Write-in)

Raven's searching books, Robin seems to have some sort of newspaper thing going on, and the others are searching the internet for any information about what Linus told you. There's one way that you in particular can be of help, though you do have some worries about using it.

Still, if you're careful, you should be just fine.

Returning to your room, you take a seat on your bed, assuming the lotus position, closing your eyes, and allowing your thoughts to flow freely in front of you. As they grow in number, and your vision of them becomes clearer, you quietly chant to yourself.

"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos..." you repeat as the thoughts flow in front of you like leaves in the wind.

There are several now, all you need do is find one to reach out and take hold of.

>A. 20:7. What does it mean?

>B. Your purpose. What did Brother Blood intend for you and others like you to do?

>>2237224
>>2237225
20:7. That's what Simon told you. Now, if only you can figure out what that means. You let all thoughts and feelings fall to the wayside, your mind entirely focusing on that particular set of numbers. Your mind scours every atom of itself, and soon, you find yourself.,..

...standing over a desk, looking down at a stack of papers and a series of folders. The folders have the names Simon, Samuel, Marissa, Ryan, and Paul. You know those names. Yours is among them, and the rest are other agents of the HIVE that you've worked closely with more than once.

But, your mind is not focused on information about them, so that portion of the memory does not develop further. Instead, you take a look at the papers, noticing 20:7 written on the first page on top of the stack. Brother Blood probably typed this up. After all, it's in his office. You feel a sense of immense curiosity, and reach for the papers.

Time seems to skip, and you feel absolute horror as you step away from the desk, gasping as you hear a voice call out to you.

"Something troubling you, Samuel?" Brother Blood asks from the doorway, his eyes shifting to the papers on his desk. "It's not polite to go through other people's things without their permission."

"S-sorry, Brother," you stammer, trying to make sense of what you just saw.

Once again, time seems to skip, and you find yourself backing toward the doorway fearfully while Brother Blood watches from behind his desk, frowning in disappointment as you slowly retreat.

"I'd thought that you of all people would appreciate the honor you're being given," Blood tells you as you step ever closer toward the door. "You've always been courageous, loyal, willing to take on any challenge. With this, you'll become truly incredible, Samuel. You'll help bring about a new world, a new universe!"

"I didn't sign up for anything like that!" you shout, pointing at the papers on the desk. "That's not taking a challenge or a dangerous mission, that's giving up my life! My...."

"Sacrifices must and shall be made for the greater goal," Blood tells you, stepping around his desk. "I've been assured that the process will be quite painless, and that you'll still be...well, around."

Overwhelming terror grips you, and in that moment you turn and run, not looking back, not knowing where you're going. All you know is that you need to get out of there, and as far away from Blood as you can.

The memory begins to fade away.

>A. Keep pushing. You need to know more! What did you see? What was Blood going to do for you?

>B. Those other names you saw, shift your focus to them.

>C. Come out of it. Pushing any further could cause you to lose control!

>D. Family in the HIVE. Focus on that.

>E. Change your focus to your training. Combat knowledge can be valuable, and probably cause less loss of control

>>2237261
I wouldn't recommend trying that approach any time soon.

>>2237268
>C.

Abort. We have some useful data.

>>2237268
>>C. Come out of it. Pushing any further could cause you to lose control!
Report what we remembered to the Titans. Particularly, Raven.

>>2237268
>E. Change your focus to your training. Combat knowledge can be valuable, and probably cause less loss of control

Let's get the low hanging fruit now and maybe dig deeper after consulting the other Titans.

>>2237268
>>E. Change your focus to your training. Combat knowledge can be valuable, and probably cause less loss of control
Scene change

>>2237284
>>2237285
Supervised deep dives are probably a good idea. Raven might not even be the only option. Getting some science on that shit to monitor our brain activity and other vitals could be useful too.

>>2237268
>E. Change your focus to your training. Combat knowledge can be valuable, and probably cause less loss of control

>>2237268
>C. Come out of it. Pushing any further could cause you to lose control!
>>2237271
Who said anything about soon? Admittedly I may have unintentionally implied it. I'm more thinking of it as a long term goal. If we wind up on the Rose route, I'd be hoping to hit the point where the line between sparring and foreplay is fuzzy and ill-defined, determined mostly by context.

>>2237285
Going deeper in this particular memory seems unwise. But, you can still find some more information while you're poking around in your repressed memories. Once again, you empty your mind of all thoughts aside from one particular focus. In this case, you choose to focus on your combat training within the HIVE.

You find yourself standing back-to-back with someone, surrounded by combat robots and walls lined with turrets. On a balcony above, Brother Blood watches, with three students you can't see clearly standing behind him.

"Remember to keep moving," you tell the person behind you.

"I know," Simon's voice returns. "I'll take out the machines if you take out the turrets."

You snort. "Right. If you can take out the machines by the time I finish the turrets, I'll eat my blaster."

"I'll hold you to that," Simon says just before the combat begins.

Pulling your blaster from its holster, you rush toward the machines in front of you, taking a shot at one of the turrets as you run, and putting it out of commission. You then leap into the air, taking out another two turrets before landing on one of the robots. The turrets continue to follow you with their shots, but as you jump from robot to robot, they only damage your foes, leaving you unscathed. In the meantime, you manage to take out about half of the remaining turrets, and one explodes behind you as you land on the ground.

"You're welcome!" you hear Simon shout before the sound of a machine getting impaled assaults your ears.

"Let's make things more interesting," you hear Blood say before your blaster is ripped from your hand.

"Hey!" you hear Simon shout, telling you that he's been similarly disarmed.

You jump back to avoid a turret shot, then duck as one of the massive training machines takes a swing at you. A back-flip puts you on the machine's head, and it is soon destroyed by the turrets like its friend was. You're then forced to take cover beneath its non-functioning body as the turrets continue to fire on you.

A door opens at the far-side of the stadium, and dozens of man-sized machines begin to march in.

Perfect.

Soon after, you and Simon take out the turrets by hurling the machines up at them. Then, it's a simple matter for the two of you to finish off the remaining foes, your hand-to-hand skills more than enough to deal with these mechanical minions when you aren't under heavy fire.

When all is said and done, you and Simon stand side by side in the middle of the stadium, surrounded by scrap metal and ruined robots.

The memory begins to fade.

>A. Come out of it. You've seen enough

>B. Those names you saw in an earlier vision. Who were they?

>C. Family in the HIVE. Focus on that

>D. The accident

>>2237332
>>A. Come out of it. You've seen enough

>>2237332
>A. Come out of it. You've seen enough
Let's not leave ourself vulnerable to Blood's attempts at going all psychonauts on us.

>>2237323
Perhaps one day, anon. Perhaps one day

>>2237332
>A.

>>2237332
>A. Come out of it. You've seen enough
Yeah, I don't want to get mind raped again.

>>2237332
>A. Come out of it. You've seen enough

So uh... think Cyborg can make us a blaster or something?

>>2237338
>>2237339
You've seen and learned enough for now, and you worry that staying like this for too long could leave you vulnerable to attack from Brother Blood. So, as the memory fades, you let it go, and open your eyes, returning to your normal state of consciousness.

You feel quite tired, but not too much so to function. Still, you decide to rest for a minute before leaving your room. After a few minutes, you step out into the hall and head for the living room.

>To be continued

And that is where we will call it quits for tonight.

As always, feedback is welcome and encouraged, and I will be lurking.

I hope everyone had a good time

>>2237370
Thanks for running as always. Got a date in mind for next game?

Gamewise, I'm both interested and somewhat melancholic about today's revelations about Peter/Samuel's past. Who he is as a person up until today was created largely by our actions, and now we have to reconcile it with something outside of our control. This isn't to say its bad. Its effective writing that its eliciting a feeling that Peter will need to grapple with as well.

I hope we're not rushing things too much though. I want plenty more lighthearted chilling with the Titans too.

>>2237377
There will be time

Hoping to run Wednesday night

>>2237380
Also, I don't know if you're interested in /tg/ or not, but yesterday I started reading Masks: A New Generation. Its a Powered by the Apocalypse game explicitly about teen superheroes, inspired, by (among other things), Teen Titans and Young Justice. I'm really enjoying going through it. You might too.

>>2237391
I'll keep that in mind. Thank you

>>2236943
>When that happens, Titans Tower, and every Teen Titan will be killed.
>every Teen Titan
Maybe we need to issue a warning to all the honorary Titans to watch their backs? Although realistically, we don't have that much more information than, "Brother Blood is planning... something bad!" so it probably sounds kinda lame.

>>2237421
Maybe they'll be safe due to not being real Titans. When they survive they'll have a really depressing party.

Linus, please

>>2237983
Incidentally, why are we Samuel/Peter instead of Simon/Peter?

College wifi was down. Will have to postpone until tomorrow, but I'd like to bump the thread by asking what some things you guys want to see are

>>2238867
Reasons, or lack there of

>>2239245
>I'd like to bump the thread by asking what some things you guys want to see are.

Darkseid or if we screw things to much a manifestation of Barbatos. Raven's trouble family and Starfires awesome older sister.

>>2239245
No worries. Just seemed like an obvious opportunity for significant-sounding biblical references, even if purely for ambiance. You know. Like Evangelion.

As for things I'd like to see:

In general: Still want to go shopping for gifts, for the five Titans and Jinx and Kid Flash.

With Robin: Beyond sparring, I'd like to see Robin teach us martial arts specifically. Forms, movements, and hear his ideas on how we could integrate our powers and fighting style, or if he thinks we should take a different route. We also don't really interact with him much outside of sparring. We should see if we can find a common interest.

Beast Boy: Seems like we're doing well with Beast Boy. Maybe next time we hang out we won't fight (and be saved by) villains. We should also see if we can bring out his musical side and jam with him (once we figure out what, if any, instruments KC can play). Maybe we could consult him for gift shopping ideas.

Starfire: I look forward to us flying with her again. She owes us a race/game of tag. Maybe afterward followed by a sky-borne heart to heart. She's an alien. We're alienated from our past, only connected to our culture through feelings and hazy memories. Could be interesting.

Cyborg: I'd like for us to have a deeper chat about Brother Blood at some point. Both hearing his take on their past, commiserating, and discussing strategy. Also, solely based on the fact that Cyborg can sing in TTG, I'd like to recruit him into our music project.

Raven: I'd like to do some chaperoned dives into our mind and memories, Nevermore style. If it gets tangled up with her own memories and Kid Crimson has an opportunity to get to know better, great. Also, I'd like for us to hang out outside of the context of heroing or Kid Crimson's problems. If and when we do gift shopping, maybe we could try buying some scary movies and tea for her and watching them together.

>>2239245
An opportunity to spar with Bestgi- I mean Batgirl.
I think it'd be interesting to see how she handles our powerset, since she often struggles against opponents whose actions she can't predict based on movement.
Would be good practice for both of us. We get better at fisticuffs, she gets better at fighting opponents who can cheat.

>>2239333
>Darkseid

Anon, are you sure about that?

>>2239384
Well, Robin enjoys videogames

BB might not be interested

You and Starfire could make very good friends

Cyborg would be more than willing to share

Good luck

>>2239565
>Implying Peter won't reveal patterns that Cass will pick up on after a few minutes at most.

>>2239333
You really don't want Darkseid. That's Omega Weapon, secret universe ending boss shit.

>>2239590
That reminds me of a potentially fun trick we could pull against Robin (and theoretically Batgirl). Does our flight have any visible signifiers? A colored aura, etc?

If its completely subtle, we could use flight not to fly but to move ourselves through space without moving a muscle. A punch that is meant to hit us comes up centimeters short because we backed up with our flight. An attack that would seem overextended is perfectly spaced because we moved ourselves forward in time with it. Just subtle little movements that really mess with the opponent's rhythm and sense of distance.

>>2239590
Forcing us to adapt again, forcing her to adapt to our adaptation, forcing us to adapt to her adaptation to our adaptation...
We evolve beyond the person we were a minute before. Little by little, we advance with each turn.

>>2239590
Too right. To beat someone like her like that, we'd need to be able to do everything we do, at a higher degree and with no physical movements. All mental. That's a damn good benchmark though.

>>2239606
Nope, no aura

>>2239613
You are nowhere near ready to reach that level

>>2239606
>>2239634
I think you just cooked up our endgame fighting style, anon.

>>2239637
I play in a Mutants and Masterminds game where my character's only powers are flight and martial arts. I've had opportunities to get creative.

Piece by piece we could assemble a devastating fighting style with just the four powers we currently have. Its just a matter of studiously refining them and integrating them into our mundane techniques.

>>2239647
>>2239637
Not bad, anons, not bad at all

>>2239600
Where would you rank Darkseid compared to villains like Sinestro, Trigon, The Citadeli, and so on?

>>2239711
1. Trigon
2. Darkseid
3. Sinestro
?. Who the fuck are the Citadeli?

>>2239736
A race of slavers that other races like the Gordonians work for.

Also, was your rank in terms of power, or in how interesting they are?

>>2239739
That was in terms of power.

In terms of how they interesting they are, personally I'd rank them like this:

1. Sinestro - He's a well rounded character and has very human motives.
2. Darkseid - He's interesting because he's threatening. His pursuit of power, domination and the anti-life equation are sort of hit and miss in terms of interest.
3. Citadeli - mostly because I don't know anything about them and that's potentially interesting.
4. Trigon - He's potentially interesting but also kind of only has the one storyline, and its also Raven's one storyline. After Trigon was defeated, he should be left way way way in the background so Raven can develop as a character outside him.

>>2239739
>>2239751
Oh, and in terms of how interested I'd be in seeing them in this game:

1. Sinestro
2. Citadeli
Power gap
3. Darkseid
Power gap
4. Trigon

If you do the Citadeli then maybe 'Season 7: Starfire finally gets a season after being bumped twice in favor of new Titans'

>>2239754
I will make sure to have some things go on for Starfire

I am planning to run tonight

hyped

Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire are still searching when you step into the common room, with Cyborg sitting at the computer, and both Beast Boy and Starfire standing over him as he types away.

"Okay, I'm finding a few biblical passages that match with what Kid Crimson gave us," Cyborg tells the other two, not seeming to notice that you've entered the room. "There's Acts 20:7, which doesn't make any sense, but there are two others that might have something to do with it."

"Go on," Starfire encourages. "We are listening most closely."

"Brother Blood never really struck me as a religious guy," Beast Boy tells the other two, leaning on the console. "You sure this is what we're looking for?"

"No, but it's the best I can find so far," Cyborg replies, still staring at the screen. "Alright, Revelation 20:7. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison."

That sounds pretty bad. If he's planning something like summoning the devil, then you can understand being freaked out when you learned of it.

"Then, there's Jeremiah 20:7," Cyborg goes on. "You deceived me, Lord, and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me."

"What would that one even mean?" Beast Boy asks.

"I'm not sure," Cyborg admits. "But if there's one thing Blood's good at; it's deceiving people. And he's definitely arrogant enough to call himself Lord."

>>A. "I don't like the sound of either one of those."

>>B. "I haven't been able to find out what 20:7 means, but I was able to dig up some memories. Whatever this 20:7 was, it scared me enough to make me run from Blood."

>>C. "Any other theories?"

>D. Go see if Robin's found anything

>E. Go see if Raven's found anything

>F. Wait here for now

>>2240630
>>>B. "I haven't been able to find out what 20:7 means, but I was able to dig up some memories. Whatever this 20:7 was, it scared me enough to make me run from Blood."

>>2240630
>B

>>2240634
"I haven't been able to find out what 20:7 means," you announce along with your presence to the others as you make your way over to them. "But I was able to dig up some memories. Whatever it was, it was enough to make me run from Blood."

"So you really did work for him before?" Beast Boy asks, turning toward you as he leans against the console.

It sure looks that way. While you still aren't sure that you can trust the memories you dug up, you suspect that they're the real deal. Combine that with Simon, whose familiarity you can't shake, and who seemed completely sincere about wanting to help you, and it seems apparent that your past life was spent with the HIVE.

"I think so," is all you answer, not going into more detail.

"Alright, then we know Blood's planning something bad," Cyborg speaks up. "Which we knew before. It looks like it could connect to biblical passages in some way, but we don't know if it does, or which it would connect to. We know it was enough to scare someone that was on Blood's side into ditching him, and that it involves destroying us. Enough for us to know that this is seriously bad, but-"

"But nothing to tell us what this seriously bad thing is?" Beast Boy interrupts.

"This is most troubling," Starfire remarks, crossing her arms over her chest and grabbing the opposite shoulders. "I only hope that we discover what the Brother Blood is plotting before it is too late."

"Don't worry so much, Star," Beast Boy tells her in a reassuring tone. "Whatever he's doing, we'll handle it."

"BB's right," Cyborg tells her, getting up from his seat. "We always pull through."

Starfire gives them a small smile. "I know, but there is always much suffering before we do the pulling through. I am fearful about any of you getting hurt by whatever is going to happen."

"We're super heroes, Star," Cyborg tells her, placing a hand on her left shoulder. "It's all part of the job."

>>A. "Yeah, but I'd like to find out what Blood's up to and stop it before he can go through with whatever's he planning."

>>B. "Bring Blood on."

>>C. "Hear any news from Robin or Raven?"

>/>>D. Write-in

>>2240686
>>A. "Yeah, but I'd like to find out what Blood's up to and stop it before he can go through with whatever's he planning."
>>C. "Hear any news from Robin or Raven?"

>>2240686

>>C. "Hear any news from Robin or Raven?"

>>2240686
>C
>D. Because religious or magical text should be something she can easily comprehend

>>2240692
>>2240716
"Hear any news from Robin or Raven?" you ask the others.

"Robin has reported nothing as of yet," Starfire tells you. "Neither has Raven, though I suspect she will continue searching for some time."

"For now, there's not much we can do except wait," Cyborg tells you.

Waiting doesn't much pay off. Robin tells everyone to call it quits for the night a few hours later, and Raven reports the next day that she found pretty much the same thing as Cyborg.

"I think the line from Revelation is the more likely connection," she says while fixing herself some tea. "Maybe Blood's trying to summon some kind of demon, or the devil could be whatever he was trying to do with you and your old friends. There's just not enough information yet. We'll need to be patient."

The next few days pass peacefully enough, and you spend some time at the arcade with Beast Boy (thankfully not being ambushed on the way home this time), help Cyborg in the garage, spar with Robin, and meditate with Raven and Starfire. You clash against the others in video games and eating contests, and spend some nights watching movies as a team.

It's a bright day now. Lovely weather, and you feel perfectly relaxed. How will you spend such a fine day?

>A. Go see if Beast Boy wants to hit up the arcade

>B. Go see if Cyborg needs help with his car

>C. Challenge the guys to videogames

>D. Ask Raven to play chess

>E. Go see if Robin's up for some training

>F. Go see if Starfire is up for that game of tag

>G. Go into the city

>>2240751
>G.
Let's go buy those presents.

>>2240751
>E. Go see if Robin's up for some training

>>2240751

Must get stronger before Blood starts the apocalype!

>>2240751
>G. Go into the city
PRESENTS!

>>2240759
>>2240766
It seems like a good day to go for a walk around the city. While the others attend to their various activities, you head outside and fly over the bay, landing in the city and starting your walk. You have your costume on in case anyone saw you fly in, or in case there's some kind of trouble you have to deal with during your trip. You hope that today will be peaceful, but you never know how these things will turn out.

It's a weekday, so most of the kids are at school, and many of the adults are working. Places that might be packed on the weekends should be far more manageable today than usual.

Where will you go?

>A. Arcade

>B. Movie theater

>C. Video store

>D. Department store

>E. Electronics Store

>F. Sporting goods store

>G. Toy store

>H. The mall

>/>>I. Elsewhere (write-in)

H. The mall

Do all the gift shopping.

>>2240825
>F. Sporting goods store

They might have guns.

>>2240825
>>H. The mall
uhh what are we getting people again

>>2240832
I think we're winging it. Maybe MoG will have us go through person by person.

Possible ideas

Robin: A video game. Preferably one that uses light guns so we can use our HIVE skills to whoop his butt.

Raven: Scary movies and/or Tea?

Starfire: I think she'll appreciate anything nice and from the heart.

Beastboy: Could also be videogames?

Cyborg: Unsure.

Jinx: Unsure.

Kid Flash: Deodorant. And maybe a non-gag gift.

Ourselves: Lets go to a music store and try out some instruments. I still want to know if we can play anything.

According to MoG our stipend is 1000 dollars, so we should be fine to splurge a little.

>>2240825
>H

>>2240825
>>H. The mall

>>2240825
>H. The mall

>>2240825
>>/>>I. Elsewhere (write-in)
Music store. See if we know any instruments. And if we don't, pick up a guitar and learn.

>>2240830
>>2240832
The mall should have plenty to buy, and you've been thinking lately about getting all of your friends gifts. They've done so much and been so wonderful to you, and you want to show them that you appreciate it. You make a mental note to find something for Kid Flash and Jinx as well, since they were the first ones to come to your rescue.

You suppose that, one by one, you will have to decide what to get everybody. Or, you can go through store by store and see what you want. First, you enter the video store, which offers a massive selection of movies and shows.

You see a horror film about a shape-changing monster that feeds on fear, a comedy spoofing Clash of the Planets and Warp Trek, An action film about a retired mercenary on the run from a group out for revenge, a racing film where competitors fight for a hundred-thousand dollar prize, a romance film about a man and woman who grow up together and fall in love, a musical about singing cats, and a DVD box set of Clash of the Planets.

>>A. Buy the horror film

>>B. Buy the comedy

>>C. Buy the action film

>>D. Buy the romance film

>>E. Buy the racing film

>>F. Buy the musical

>>G. Buy the Clash of the Planets Box Set

>H. Don't buy anything from here. Move on.

>>2240891
>A.
For Raven.
>F.
For Starfire.

>>2240891
>>>A. Buy the horror film
>>>F. Buy the musical

>>2240912
I can dig it, also racing film for Cyborg. In before Robin is a die hard Clash of the Planets fan.

>>2240891
>G
For BB

>>2240891
>>G. Buy the Clash of the Planets Box Set
Beast Boy should like this, I just worry he might already have it.

Raven might like the horror film, and I can see Starfire digging either the romance or musical, but maybe we should see what other stores there are. There might be a book store where we can find something for Raven?

>>2240928
We could get more than one thing per person. A Clash of the Planets box set is going to be substantially more expensive than single movies. So getting Raven a horror movie, a book, and maybe some tea would be reasonable.

>>2240891
>A

Unlike Robin we are working with limited budget over here

>>2240912
>>2240918
You decide to buy the horror film for Raven, the musical for Starfire, and the Clash of the Planets Box Set for Beast Boy. The Box Set is somewhat expensive, but overall, you don't spend an insane amount. Once the movies are paid for, you leave he video store and look for someplace else to go.

Walking the mall, you soon come across a home goods store offering appliances, cookware, decorations, pillows, blankets, and so on. You notice some tea sets that look nice, some very comfortable looking blankets that are on sale, a portable pizza oven, some cookbooks, and a vacuum cleaner.

>>A. Buy the tea set

>>B. Buy blanket(s)

>>C. Buy cookbook

>>D. Buy vacuum cleaner

>>E. Buy pizza stone

>F. Buy nothing, move on

>>2240951
1000 dollars. Minus the cost of Court of the Crimson King and a Radio.

>>2240960
>>E. Buy the pizza stone.

For Cyborg. He probably already has one, or made a pizza steel for himself, but hey, its the thought that counts.

>>2240968
>>2240960
Sorry, meant to say "buy the pizza oven"

>>2240978
That seems a bit much. Can we buy a Pizza Stone instead?

>>2240984
If you wish

>>2240960
>F. Buy nothing, move on

nothing really jumps out at me; pizza oven is pretty expensive

>>2240960
>F. Buy nothing, move on
We can always come back if we have to. It's not like a super-villain is suddenly gonna blow the mall up or anything.

>>2240960
>F

Nothing to see here

>>2241001
>>2240999
>>2240993
>>2240984
Do you guys want me to keep going store by store, or save time by having you give me a list of things that you want to buy?

>>2241018
I'd rather just do a list of things, but then I didn't vote to go shopping to begin with.

>>2241036
>>2241001
>A. Anons come up with list

>B. Go store by store

>>2241043
>A.

Are prices relevant?

>>2241043

If only because I feel like if we came up with the list, we'd miss out on a few neat bonus items.

>>2241043

I'm enjoying the shopping trip.

Nothing in particular catches your eye, and so you decide to check out another store. After another bit of walking, you come to a sporting goods store. Figuring it might be a good place to find something for Robin or Kid Flash, you walk on in.

They've got pretty much any sports related item you can think of. Hockey equipment, football helmets, baseball bats, cups, mouth-guards, and so on.

You notice cleats at a decent price, and packs of deodorant. Packs of tennis balls, fishing rods, beanbag toss games, some martial arts uniforms, sweatshirts, sweatpants, headbands, all kinds of gear and accessories.

>>A. Cleats

>>B. Deodorant

>>C. Martial arts uniform

>>D. Tennis Balls

>>E. Headbands

>>F. Sweatshirts and sweatpants

>>G. Fishing pole

>>H. Bean Bag toss game

>I. Ignore these things, go elsewhere

>>2241095
>>B.
Obligatory gag gift.
>>H.
And fun game for the entire family.

>>2241095
>>C. Martial arts uniform

>>2241095

>>2241099
>>2241119
You decide to buy the bean bag game, believing that the entire team will find enjoyment from it. While you're tempted to buy deodorant for Kid Flash as a gag, or a martial arts uniform for Robin, you ultimately move on.

Next, you find a few stores that might be worth visiting. You see a game store, where you're sure you could find something for one of the guys, a store that allows you to build stuffed animals, a book store, and an electronics store.

Which will you visit first?

>A. Video games

>B. Books

>C. Stuffed animal store

>D. Electronics Store

>>2241143
>A. Video Games

>>2241143
>C. Stuffed animal store

>>2241143
>>A. Video games

>>2241165
>>2241180
The video games store seems the safest bet. You walk in, have a look around, and spot a fighting game you remember Cyborg talking about a while back. You pick that up for him, and find another that Robin mentioned, some odd sort of game where the system scans your appearance and creates avatars based on you. You do different fighting levels with them, from ninjas to pirates to hyper-intelligent gorillas. You grab it for him, buy the games, and leave the store, choosing the next place to visit.

>A. Book store

>B. Electronics store

Also we might want to get something for Silkie too.

The stuffed animal store seems a sure thing in terms of finding a gift for Starfire. You walk in and find it to be the fluffiest, most colorful place you have ever seen. There are stations with instructions for various stages of creating a stuffed animal. Most of the customers seem to be children, or women that look to be either mothers or expecting, presumably there to make a gift for a young child. It's not a place you would typically come into, but you know Starfire will love whatever you can make for her here.

Now, what to make....

>A. An orange teddy bear

>B. A stuffed chicken with a purple shirt

>C. Try and make something in the shape of Silkie

>/>>D. Design your own

>/>>E. Make one for Silkie

Starfire would definitely love to have a stuffed animal shaped like her little "bumgorf". So, you resolve to give her exactly that, going station by station and attempting to create a stuffed toy in Silkie's image. Actually, you think that you'll get one for Silkie too.

This is something you've never done before (you think), so you have some trouble, but you mostly manage to accomplish what you set out to do. Soon, you have two stuffed animals somewhat resembling Silkie. It's not exactly an uncanny likeness, but it's good enough that it will be obvious what they're supposed to be.

You pay for the stuffed toys and leave the store.

>A. Book Store

>B. Beauty goods store

>C. (Write-in store)

>D. This is enough. Call it quits for the day, and ask about what to get Jinx and Kid Flash later

>>2241356
C. Specialty food store.

Buy some tea for Raven and maybe some rare gourmet ingredients for Cyborg. He's a foodie.

Sure, switching to this. Lets go find out where our musical talents lie.

A book store seems like a good place to find something for Raven. You make your way there, carrying your small hoard of gifts for your friends, and have a look around to see what sort of books they have that she might like. Most of it doesn't look very good; cliche romance novels, some junk for the dumbest of teens, cookbooks, the mayor's autobiography.

You do see some that she might like. A few horror books, some books on urban legends, books on spirits, voodoo, and so on. Maybe she'd like one of these?

>A. Horror book

>B. Book on urban legends

>C. Spirits

>D. Voodoo

>E. Forget this and go home

>F. Forget this and go to another store (specify)

>>2241472
>B. Book on urban legends

>C. Spirits

If we're unable to get both, then get the book about spirits, I think? Not too certain what kind of literature she has.

>>2241472
>B. Book on urban legends.

>>2241472
>B. Book on urban legends
Maybe Jump City even has some haunted houses of its own?

>>2241472
>D. Voodoo

>>2241492
>>2241493
You decide to buy Raven a book on urban legends, taking it up to the register, paying for it, and putting it in your bag along with everything else you've bought so far today. At this point, there's so much stuff that you're having some difficulty carrying it all.

Should you keep going, or call it a day?

>A. Go back to the tower

>B. Check out another store (specify)

>>C. Call up the other Titans and ask what sort of gift Kid Flash or Jinx would want

>>2241518
>B. Music Store
>>C. And lets not forget Kid Flash and Jinx

>>2241518
>B. Check out another store (specify)
Music store.
>>C. Call up the other Titans and ask what sort of gift Kid Flash or Jinx would want
We quite literally owe them our freedom and, probably, our life. Let's not leave them out.

>>2241518
>>B. Check out another store (specify)
music

>>2241518
>>C. Call up the other Titans and ask what sort of gift Kid Flash or Jinx would want

>>2241521
You decide to call up the others, letting them know that you're out shopping, and are wondering what sort of gift Kid Flash and Jinx would like.

"Well, Kid Flash...dude's always hungry," Cyborg tells you. "You could order him a pizza, or buy him a gift card to a fast food joint and he'd be happy."

"Jinx is a little harder....." Robin tells you, seeming at a loss.

Starfire gasps and drops from the call, and after a few more minutes of brainstorming, the others do the same. That's when you notice that a text message has been sent to your communicator (you didn't know that was a thing, but okay).

"Tell no one. Jinx likes unicorns."

You're pretty sure you knew who sent this.

Going to the music store, you find pretty much what you saw in the last one; CDs, records, some cassettes, some music books, and, it looks like there might be an instrument or two on sale. You honestly can't remember if you ever learned to play one, but none of the ones you see are striking any sort of chord with you.

>A. Buy a guitar

>B. Buy a violin

>C. Buy a drum set

>D. Don't buy anything

>>E. Find Kid Flash a gift card to a food place

>>F. Find Jinx something unicorn related

>/>>G. Write-in

>>2241556
>G. Try fiddling a bit with the instruments, see if you can recall anything before committing to any purchases.
>>E.
>>F. (And gift wrap it so no one will know her terrible secret)

>>2241556
>>E. Find Kid Flash a gift card to a food place
>>F. Find Jinx something unicorn related

>>2241556
>>E. Find Kid Flash a gift card to a food place
>>F. Find Jinx something unicorn related
>G. Try fiddling a bit with the instruments, see if you can recall anything before committing to any purchases.
>>2241560
Good idea.

>>2241556
>>>E. Find Kid Flash a gift card to a food place
>>>F. Find Jinx something unicorn related

>>2241567
>>2241560
>none of the ones you see are striking any sort of chord with you

>>2241597
I am sorry for missing the pun. It was excellent.

>>2241564
>>2241560
None of the instruments seem familiar to you, so you leave the music store without purchasing anything, and go out to find something for Kid Flash and Jinx. For Kid Flash, you buy a couple of gift cards, one to a pizza place, one to a burger joint. For Jinx, you manage to find a stuffed unicorn, which you have gift-wrapped so nobody will know.

Shopping complete, you leave the mall and go home.

I'm planning to run again Friday night.
