shieldsup | First Shield: A lack of unstable molecules...[Action/Voice]

[Action]

[Early in the evening of July 9th, Susan Richards wakes up in a very, very strange place, an unfamiliar couch. In YOUR living room. She blinks and looks around, extremely confused. When this strange, blond woman sees you...her eyes go wide she disappears, clothes and all. Astute listeners may hear the sounds of her feet as she gets up and moves away from you and the couch.]

Wha! What on Earth?! WHO are you and WHERE am I?

[Susan's voice is pretty demanding for an invisible person who just woke up in your house, and it seems to be coming from all around you, her powers distorting it.

Maybe you could help talk some sense into her? Explain the situation? Perhaps you're feeling pretty mad? Break time, go nuts! This isn't locked to anyone!]

Voice

[Much, much later, Susan's voice will appear over the journal after she's collected herself and gotten out of whoever's house she wound up in]

Hello everyone. This is Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four. If there are any members of the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, or even anyone that just recognizes my name I would appreciate it if you would get in touch with me. Hell, even if you are just feeling helpful and are willing to share information, I'd really appreciate it. I've just arrived and I need help getting my bearings. I don't want to impose, but I really need some answers.

Also, if anyone comes across a blue jumpsuit with a 4 on it, I'd ask that they not touch it, its made of highly unstable molecules that can react oddly to anyone that isn't me.

[Her voice isn't terribly upset, more confused. Its not like she's never woken up in strange places or been in rough situations alone before. Thats...sort of what the Fantastic Four do!]

(OOC: Feel free to break time with the action portion of the post! I've got nobody in particular who needs to find her so she can wake up in anyone's living room that wants an Invisible Woman)

If you know the Avengers, you might know who I am then. My name is Bruce Banner...

[Though he has to admit. He had no idea that a member of the Fantastic Four would be showing up here.]

[That's DEFINITELY a familiar voice!]

Of course I do, Bruce. Can you explain what's going on?

[He's not sure if he's the Bruce that you remember, but they can talk about that later.]

It's rather complicated, but... well the gist of it is you were taken from your world and brought to this one. There are these "scientist" who are known as the Malnosso. They trapped us in this town that has a barrier surrounding it which is supposed to pro-- actually. Has anyone showed you the guide? It will give you some basic understanding of what's happening. It might be helpful.

Yes, I've seen it. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but I've seen it. Please, go on Bruce. I'll probably understand better when its laid out in plain English.

I'm not sure if I can explain it as well as Reed Richards could, but I'll give it a shot.

Anyway. The Malnosso is an organization that is apparently dedicated to "getting us home". They've trapped us in this enclosure, and occasionally they do these experiments which I believe they've stated is intended to help them get closer to that goal. The experiments that occur can range from a change of gender to altered memories, a change in appearance. I don't think there's much of a limit as to what sort of alterations could potentially happen to a person during these.

You explain just fine, Bruce. Reed likes to talk in circles. You've always been direct and to the point.

So, how often to the experiments occur? How large is the enclosure? And do you believe their stated goal?

[It feels kind of weird to be compared to Reed Richards. He doesn't even know him personally. But he figured he'll roll with it.]

The experiments occur somewhere around once a month. Or at least it's probably for the best if you expect it that often. The enclosure is fairly large. From what I've heard it takes days to reach the barrier on foot.

As far as their stated goal. A lot of people here seem to. I'm not sure if I trust them that much though, personally.

[Reality breaking is fun, isn't it Bruce?]

And the barrier? Have you tried to, forgive me for implying that you've lost control, smash it?

He's tried it a few times actually...

["He" obviously implying the Hulk.]

Unfortunately, it didn't budge. I'm not even sure if the punches put a dent in it honestly.

Well, there goes that idea. If he can't break it, I sure can't.

How about resources? What sort of machines do you have access to?

...I have a coffee maker in my apartment if that counts?

[Ffff machines.]

In all seriousness, resources are pretty limited. Though I suppose more advanced equipment could be earned if you're willing to go on missions for them.

Missions?

[Oh right. He forgot to explain those.]

Yeah. Missions. Every so often the Malnosso will have missions that you can sign up for. Sign ups are voluntary, but usually the mission itself is rather dangerous. From what I understand the Malnosso are constantly at war with people outside of the enclosure known at the Third Party.

The gist is that they want to kill us. And the Malnosso wants to stop them. So every mission is usually foiling the Third Partys plans in some way. For every mission you complete you get points that can be used to buy items that you wouildn't find here regularly. [MAN. This is all a mouthful.]

Interesting. Have you...been on any of these missions Bruce?

[Definitely curious, because these seem RIGHT up her alley]

I've been on one before. It actually wasn't that bad.

...as long as you ignore the fact that a giant octopus tried to bring down the whole ship we were on at the time...

You're kidding, right? Giant...octopus?

If it helps, it might've been a squid.

[That ttly helps.]

THAT takes me back. Heh, when Namor tried to take over the land...

Ahh, yeah Namor.

[He knows that guy fffff.]

We uh... we don't usually see eye to eye all that much.

He's not an easy man to get along with, I'm not surprised.

We've bumped heads a few times.

[In his opinion the guy's a douche honestly.]

But anyway. Luceti isn't the easiest place to live, but it's usually peaceful. Usually. But the occasional drama is obviously bound to happen. [Though "occasional drama" is kind of an understatement.]

Peaceful is nice. [Particularly for you...]

Its better than ending up in a dimension of war. But aside from the Malnosso, is there anything I need to be watching out for? Villains, roughnecks, etc?
