"Everyone left awake. Girl, pot, other girl, jerkface."

"don't see any cameras"

"don't see anyone knocked out"

"anyone here when I got here left"

"movie was already on"

just say these things if you have to explain why you're here and maybe ask who he is and maybe why you're here as well.

yes. yes, we do.

oh, mention McDoucheface and Lady Naughtyjars.

>Could you identify them?
Wasn't really paying attention. People. (Ie, make an excuse to the effect we didn't know they were doing anything wrong, so we saw no need to memorize faces).

(Reasoning: We really don't know enough about the sides here to know if it's a good idea to sell them out or not, so do nothing for now. We have a card to play for later if we really need to get on this guy's good side, or if we need a favor or something from hacker pot-girl).

So if you're the greeter, how's this supposed to work, then?

one had a walking flower pot

>>564278
the fact he didn't immediately call in a security team makes me doubt the punishment is severe enough to be blackmail material.

>>564284
I meant more out of gratitude than blackmail. Favor for a favor kind of thing.

Given that sharp-looking guy's attitude he's probably not going to take it like that. Maybe the girl would appreciate it, but the guy? We're gonna need to clobber him at some point I'm betting.

I still don't see good reason to throw those guys under the bus. Seemed like they were just trying to find stuff out, like us. Make an excuse and don't describe them.

>>564278
I agree with this. Describe the girl that was guiding us around though. Her giving descriptions will not get us in trouble.

and I don't see why we SHOULDN'T tell this guy the truth. what is he gonna do, have them killed? if they are doing shit like that here we wouldn't even want to be anywhere NEAR this place. everyone in the building is, essentially, on the same side. they are just loosely on the same side.

well those other guys don't have to know about us selling them out. besides, if our decision creates any problems now, we can solve it later. with our fists.

>>564310
How won't they know? We're the only witness, and they disabled the cameras. If they get caught, they'll know it was us.

>>564352
not true, what about the glasses chick?

Under the radar's not really worked for me before...

Power: Retractable Spikes.

>>564576
teleportation, even a pebble teleported in someone's brain can be lethal

>>564571
Considering how intimidating we are, I want to go for a "bad-guy" power, even though we aren't one. I'm thinking manifestation of nightmares.

Being able to cancel out others powers via proximity. We already have a simple brute character lets have him be ale to fight on ground he's familiar with.

so we have a big scary looking guy here and we get to chose some powers that suit him... Kinda want to give him regeneration just because I find the fact that a big scare mother foo coming at you and can't be stop would just be scary as hell. I mean imagine this guy coming at you, you put a bullet in his head, he keeps walking towards you and you see the bullet hole just close up like nothing happened. Basically like the crow without the bird or makeup no that I think about it.

yes. stay.

I'm thinking power over light? its uses range from subtle illusions to big fuck-off laser beams.

You people are all thinking smalltime: Read and control some fucking minds. True power is control of other people.

>>564571
Social anxiety. Summoning rainbows and puppies. Super headbutts. Canceling out other people's powers sounds rather neat, actually.

Can we get a general power? Like body? By that I mean his powers make him even STRONGER then he is now, can make him more resilient so that bullets and similar things just bounce off his skin, and he can recover quicker from whatever wounds he does receive.

If not then I'm going to say just super strength. I like the big guy look we have and having him able to lift a tank above his head with one hand would be freaking awesome.

Also seeing as how we were in prison before we got here might as well stay. I mean if things here turn into things we don't like then we might as well learn how this place works so we can better avoid this people if we should run, or maybe even how to take them down. And if we do like this place hot damn, not only do we get out of prison early we also just go a job. Ask how much this thing pays.

Oh, its that quest. Glad you are back.

I vote for the power not to be noticed by others. Nobody will suspect. (And then we walk up and punch them.)

>Canceling out other people's powers sounds rather neat, actually.
Until they drop a car on you. Besides, our first character already has a meta-power if that part is still canon.

>>564659
Glad I'm not the only one who can't remember the name of that quest, yet another reason against have our power be null. Null sucks, all it would take is for us to come across one guy with a gun and bam, we fuck. Not to say this wouldn't be the same with other powers but we'd still have a better chance against people without powers if we don't go for Null

>I'm not the only one who can't remember the name of that quest
http://tgchan.org/wiki/Power

yeah, i think we should lay to our strengths. no limits to how strong we can get power. we lift weights and just keep getting stronger, we run and just keep running faster.

I knew this seemed familiar.

Yes "power" and this are playing in the same universe. Was pondering wether i should just ressurect that quest, but was unsure whether anybody would still remember it, so I just made a new start. Might still continue the original story, if this here works.

Going to make a discussion thread later for any further questions.

does this guy have a name and why is he playing Mr. Bossman? if he's as important as he acts, we should know.

oh, and did that guy actually manage to kill God? I hope he didn't so we can do it and nostalge over how awesome Shin Megami Tensei II was.

So far I like having no limit to physical prowess (though that rips off One Punch Man and limits our ranged capability to throwing stuff) and my own suggestion, control over nightmares (including the manifestation of them).

I'd like to veto cancellation of others' powers, because that's super boring and would make every conflict with other power users either an easy win (they have a power that we can negate) or extremely hard (they don't).

>>564762
Go knock on the door.

>>564764
well that's not all true, just because we have powers doesn't mean we can't use a gun... or a rocket launcher.

Also I really like the sound of all these improved strength, speed, recovery, super jump, durability, ect. I mean not only would any of these powers be cool as hell but it would also explain why Craig never knew he had any powers. I mean powers come slooooooooolwy and seeing as Craig is a brick house already it would be completely understandable that he hasn't noticed his power until now. He's already a big strong son of a bitch, hard to notice the difference of a punch that simply knocked someone out and on that gave someone a concussion when using the same amount of force.

Also for questions, what's this guy's name and who's our roommate?

>>564766
what if their power is "immune to damage" (obviously they would have a threshold not pure immunity unless practice for 5 years) so guns and rockets bounce off?

anyway, sticking to "no limit on physical ability"

Hey, free room and board. Even if it's not that great at the moment, it's something. And if they're really dealing with superheros here, maybe there's stuff that won't break so easy.

Well, this place will certainly need a cleaning. Not very high hopes for our roomie if they're happy to let things get like this.

Try moving into the room and over a little, see what the other person is looking at. Then we can try talking to them again.

turn the damn lights one, the switch is towards your left

smell something gross and puke all over the guy. it's totally his fault so he can't blame you.

>>564929
Toss another garbage bag outside.

>>564980
Garbage bags make cheap storage for the poor and lazy; it might be that what's in the garbage bag isn't garbage.

It is time to talk cleaning and chores schedule, living in a place this dirty is hazardous to your health.

"new roommate"

"Place needs to be cleaned"

short and simple and to the point.

Flatly tell him/her you're their new roommate. Craig Stone.

We're roommates, apparently.

Ask him if something's wrong.

remember to smile brightly when you introduce yourself to him.

>>565050
Something like this yeah. Start tidying up a bit.

Ask who this guy is and what his power is.

uh, can you see what he's doing or is he just sitting there? Not quite sure what his power is but he seems to be lost in la la land for the moment so maybe we should start cleaning a bit. Not really much else we can do at this point.

>>565325
Ask him where the showers are. Then put him in a headlock and drag him to them. Make sure the water is icy-cold before stuffing him in there.

Make it clear that this room is going to be clean from now. And so is he.

Just start cleaning up, wait for him/her to snap out of it.

*Look around* What dungeons?

fuck it. just clean up. if you need the lights on for that, leave 'em on. he ignores you, you ignore him.

i think this guy took "use internet with mind" meaning he is in a different world right now. (maybe of warcraft) close door on him, he gets to stay in the trash.

Wait, did we just throw the roomie out!?
And he keeps murmuring about games...
I bet his power is something akin to distraction or something! Snap out of it and start mixing up tasks, if we focus on something too long we get hypnotized into doing it mindlessly, and he caught himself in his own powers I think.

>>565430
Place your roomie back in his chair then be annoying at him until he gets off the internet. Like, I dunno, flick his ear.

>>565454
Craig Stone is not delicate. I'd expect that 'flick ear' instructions turn into, 'concuss roommate' or 'tear off ear' instructions in practice.

"No. Shower today, or you're going out with the garbage too."

look around the apartment and find the bathroom, then throw your roommate who somehow got outside in the shower (with his clothes still on as those need to get washed as well) and just turn the water on, if he doesn't seem to notice then just flip the water to incredibly cold or really hot.

Good job putting all of the trash outside, just toss a blanket over your roomie and they won't even notice the difference between being at their filth hovel desk space and their throne of trash.

throw all the trash out.

Put your roommate back inside when you are done. Tell him to send you an invite to your email address or something. You should probably go explore this place yourself.

Regarding powers, how about powerful short-range telekinesis? Like it only reaches maybe 30cm away from Craigs body. He could play it off as super strength a lot of the time and use it as a surprise if someone tries to stab him in the back. Otherwise teleportation would be nice.

is there any tinfoil around? Maybe we can make him a tinfoil hat. I mean if those things are meant to keep stuff from reading your mind it might stop this guy from connecting to whatever it is he's connecting with.

"this is the collection agency, your card has been declined, provide a new card or your account will be terminated"

Now I'm genuinely interested if this guys is actually delusional, or if he's got his brain remotely plugged into a game or something.

Hmm. How could we test that. Can you get him to say anything more specific? What game he's playing, what monster he's killing, what he's waiting for to drop?

>>565742
Take the hair out of his eyes and face him towards the sun. He complained about light before, give him something to complain about.

>>565775

this is a good idea, but make sure you do it with utmost care. otherwise you'll snap his neck.

seriously, Craig shoulda been named Lenny.

Just carry him around with you. Start looking for showers and facilities yourself. Ask this guy why he's trying to avoid you. You're going to be best bros in that room!

Is this even a man? It'd be awesome if you got roomed up with a girl.

If you want to be healthy enough to keep gaming in your head or whatever you where doing, you need at least basic self maintenance. Not tomorrow.

"because i don't want to try and explain why my roomie is dead, i doubt they will buy 'starved to death' "

Tell him if he doesn't stay clean it would be very unpleasant for you to be his roommate. And if it's unpleasant for you, it'll be unpleasant for him.

Because of skin diseases, pest infestation, malnutrition, rickets from sun deprivation, dehydration, and degenerative illnesses from not enough exercise or getting up often enough. Shower every day, clean trash every day, go outside during the day every day or else you are just committing suicide really slowly.

whelp we just made a friend I think, anyways is that that one chick who has speaking problems from earlier in front of our door?

>>566932
Oh, I think that's room service over there. Go say hello, ask where you can get clean clothes.

>>566932
Ask her where the dumpster is. And cleaning supplies. Seriously, the room probably reeks. But it's all pretty bare, beds look like metal. Could take a powerwasher to the whole thing.

Be sure to flex.

Go say hello to the lady in front of your door. (And since your door is at the end of the hall, there's nowhere for her to run away to while you're trying to talk, this time!).

a new friend! she probably wants hugs!

Is that possibly the girl who guided you before? Why don't you invite her into your room and thank her for showing you around earlier. Try to start a little discussion between her and your roommate. Maybe you can find out more about them both that way.

Next goal: Form a gang Get some regular friends

Pick up your towel and drop your roommate, I think he can walk from here on. Simply state the room is dirty, and you have questions.

Use your roommate to cover up. Ask this lady to pick up the towel for you. What IS her name?

She seems to have some papers. See if you can take a look at them. Guess they are for you or your roommate. Either way it's best if you handle them. Your roomie probably won't.

Ask her about those two people you met in the video room. Does she know them? Why did she disappear earlier?

You may want to elaborate that your roommate has been living in his own filth for god knows how long, NOT cleaning up a crime scene.

...towel, dude. Towel.

Also, you're being terrifying, again.

If she doesn't run away screaming or mace you before you have a chance, get your towel back on and quickly explain that you're just trying to get the room cleaned up. Don't even bring any mention to how else what you said could have been interpreted, or you'll end up seeming even creepier.
