- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason is a petty son of a bitch obsessed with status, money and grudges 90% of the time, but he does believe in one thing more than himself and thats the Brotherhood and Mutant rights. He's been inactive for a good long while, and wants to get back in with the inner circle and hard core wing, so he has taken some of the files on potential recruits and got a file (committed to Memory) on Tekkai. Right now, he finds himself illusionarily disguised as a hot dog vendor walking with an illusionary box that only smells good to those he wants near him..the rest just enough to smell professional but not hunger.
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Tekkai was mostly doing the patrol thing. He had spotted something strange going on. While he was careful with his whole mutant transformation, and he had potential, he wasn't exactly "top level" on anyone's recruitment list.
After all, he's just a kid.
But he may have some potential somewhere. That had lead to his tailing some who were against mutants and had been picking on the occasional mutant student at school. Then he heard they were going to try something worse. And that they had friends to do it.
Tekkai had begun tailing them in his mutant form, occasionally letting himself be seen to scare the hell out of them and make them think twice. That had lead to his being in the park. The smell of good food at least has him considering stopping. He had scared them enough that they were constantly looking over their shoulders now. A glowing yellowed eye demon insect man was something, after all. Especially as it seemed to tail them. Stepping out of view and looking around, Tekkai changed back to his human form before walking towards the vendor. "Ah, hi. I'd like two chili dogs, please?"
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde doesnt even bat an eyelash. There are FAR weirder mutants in the Brotherhood after all. Tekkai is people, not a flatscan no matter what he looks like. "Why certainly my good lad..." he whips up two of the most insanely good tasting chili dogs the mind can sense and say, looking about as he sees Tekkai also looking around, "And what brings you out on a fine evening like this one?"
He produces the dogs in short order.
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Shun's not about to admit what he was really up to. Not to a complete stranger. "Just messing around. Enjoying the park a bit. Might go look up some friends nearby."
He says as he eyes the chili dogs, reaching to his wallet. "How much I owe you?" He asks.
That he appears completely human but has been active since the Battle of New York probably speaks for something about him. "And wow. That's some good ones."
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde says, "For a burgeoning champion of the down trodden and oppressed? On the house." He beams and means it. Of course, Jason might be lazy in some ways but he is a man who NOTICES details including the file. "Looking for people who like to hurt others?""
- Shun Cruz has posed:
That has Shun looking at Jason a bit more cautiously, "Oh, thank you." He even takes a bite of one of the chili dogs.
Shun only took one bit of the chili dog. And the line of questioning has him looking at Jason. Like really looking at him. And slowing down the chewing.
He's ready to turn into Tekkai if he has to, and he's moving a hand despite the chili dog as if ready to defend himself or use whatever power he has.
"Ok, who are you?" Shun asks.
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde says, "Well that depends.....I'm someone that wants to see your plans in action, and if I like what I see, I plan to extend an invitation to a group that has similar ideals, at least I'd like to believe it is...we'll start with the obvious. I'm a mutant, like you. Name is Jason."
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Shun looks curious, "Well, I knew I was one, but not... yeah."
The teen's looking at Jason oddly, "So... why so open about it, and why run a hot dog stand?"
Looking considerate, Shun sighs, "Look, I just want to scare those bullies into not messing with--" Then it hits him on where they are and he starts to look around before looking at Jason, "Wait, did you just bait me or something?"
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde says, "Oh, what you see....and what you are tasting, arent here. My power is illusion. And being open about being Homo Superior is the whole point. And, no bait....I just made sure the dogs smelled like regular crap to anyone who was baseline human. So...open and not open." He smiles.
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Shun huhs, "Neat." He metaphorically tosses the hot dogs over his shoulder, "So they can't see a thing or think we're talking about something else?" The teenager's definitely trying to wrap his head around that one. "But well... kinda don't want to hurt anyone if I don't have to. I just want to make sure they don't hurt anyone else."
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde says, "Oh they see us talking, but they see what you see....I can make everyone see what I want or vary it a little so that some people see one thing or the like, but the more complicated I make it the harder it is to do. And sounds like a righteous cause to me. I can help, but mainly meant to watch. My organization is looking for those who think that Mutants need protecting."
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Shun tilts his head a little, "Huh... um... well, I don't do much. Usually I just scare the hell out of them. Seems to do the trick. Play up the demon looking thing. Most everyone's heard of demons and hellfire and brimstone, and well..." He shrugs. "I can make it look like it in the right light."
He rubs the back of his head, "Not that I can't fight or anything, just promised the parents I wouldn't unless I had to after the Battle of New York?"
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde smiles wickedly,"Demon you say?" He flexes his his fingers and very briefly has demon claws...."How about you do your usual, but with a hollywood special effects budget worthy of any blockbuster? On the house...just to see what you can do?" His fingers return to normal.
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Shun shrugs, "Um... you got that illusion thing up now? I can show you. Not that it seems to do anything other than make me slightly tougher. Rest is all... well... how much you know about mystic stuff?" He rubs the back of his head, looking a little nervous on that one.
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde chuckles, "Nothing mystical about it on my end, but dont mind those with the real mojo on my side when I can take it...You do you and I'll riff on that..." he smiles and motions....slowly fading from view entirely, as does the hot dog stand, "I'll be here...you can speak to me by speaking out loud. Just an illusion of invisibility."
- Shun Cruz has posed:
"Right... from what I know of just following that bunch, they hang out not far from here." Shun says, turning to begin walking. "I guess a good scare straight would work out. Might make them nicer, too."
It's not long until Shun stops at a corner of an alleyway that has a T section that leads to a club, "Usually they hang out here. Also hang out of a local drug dealer. Don't think they do guns at least, but a few have some good knives from what I've seen. Oh, and two are football linebackers. I think they brought their cheerleader girlfriends this time, too."
Shun takes a quick peek before turning to walk into the alleyway. The sounds of the club nearly drown out what sounds like some sort of beating going on. The sound of metal hitting something. Shun starts to curse a bit in Japanese before he suddenly changes. Like something just emerges from his skin or replaces it in a shimmer of the air as he goes to a run.
And there's a lot more than just the few that Shun was tailing there. Like a full 20 people of varying ages. High school and some adults. And a couple kids that are obvious mutants that look like they are getting beat on with baseball bats of all things.
Shun wastes no time in actually moving his hands and sending out what looks like whips of fire practically to snag the bats and yank them out of the culprits hands. And give a pretty convincing roar/yell at the group as he used the bats to knock another two out. In the dim light, he does look pretty demonic. Black insect-like carapace, glowing yellow eyes, and now mystic energy whips.
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
The weather slowly gets a little worse, clouds shading the sky, and subsonic music with violins barely audible to the human ear begin to play the closer tehy get. A bunch of flatscans picking on. He sneers and wants to make tentacles and horrors leap through the ground but holds....this is Tekkai's moment to shine. He adds a faint smell of brimstone to the air, sulfur slowly increasing......a faint hum of bees and wasps that all but the foolish fear and as he steps out, a single peal of lightning flecks in the background adding Ozone to the whole affair.
- Shun Cruz has posed:
The group's obviously scared, even the women among the group shriek in fear. A few brave ones decide to try to actually attack.
Tekkai grits his teeth, but already having his chosen weapon out and even better armed with something on the end of those, sends those baseball bats flying.
Stepping in, he shows that he has some training. Situational awareness? Probably not.
But the few things he is watching for? Knives, weapons, and such that he disarms as quickly as he can.
At least he's nonlethal, too. The linebackers end up getting wrapped up and tripped with a bit of help to be introduced to a wall or one of the dumpsters.
Most of them, however, are realizing that this one is fighting back and can hurt them. And they've decided to get the hell out of dodge around Tekkai rather than fight.
There's a brief flash of a gun as well, that he raises up a hand with a full mandala of the same red-orange sparks flaring into being to deflect the bullets before taking out that one by smashing the gun holding hand firmly.
"Cowards. Filth. Do this again and I will find you." He hisses out.
The teen's not exactly impressive, but the imagery he mentioned? Very much there. Demon insect guy with glowing yellow eyes swinging around hellfire.
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Non lethal can be fixed, and if he cant do brotherhood, he might still be interested in Mystiques new org...whatever the name was, he hadnt talked to her lately. Unity something or other?
Everyting Tekkai did was all him but the others who tried to fight back had illusions of hitting or missing but never made meaningful contact. Tekkai's strikes also hurt far more than they logically would with their own recognizance, the illusion of pain magnifying greatly, and his voice is made to echo for almost a city black, entering the ear of every member of the group who was human.
Another crack of lightning falls in the distance and a hard rain starts to fall, It doesnt fall on mutants, of course, but others begin to get 'wet'
- Shun Cruz has posed:
By the time Tekkai's done, there is at least half the group laying around the alleyway. And two beaten looking mutants that's not him or Jason.
Tekkai moves over to check on the two, "Still alive, bruises mostly. I do not see any breaks."
He looks around, "Jason? Your... organization. Does it have some way to help them?"
- Jason Wyngarde has posed:
Jason Wyngarde arranges for "zip ties" on those taken down....a real card appears in Tekkai's hand, with an embossed Magneto helmet and an embossed font that says,"Brotherhood of Mutants" and below it says,"MAstermind" with an untracable number and untracable encrypted email. "Call me if you wanna meet some real cool people kid...."
- Shun Cruz has posed:
Tekkai nods, "I will." He turns to head out of the alleyway, showing some trust that Jason can at least get the two beaten mutants some sort of medical attention.
