Right. That whole doctor thing. Nothing says, "I paid good money for medical schoo," like helping Crackheads come down, or helping gang-bangers recover enough from bullet wounds to... bang more gangs..? Whatever gang-bangers do.

You turn on your heel, wobbling a little at the quick movement, and begin making your way down the street. You've always hated the night shift. Mostly because it forces you to see all of your most valuable customers either lying on the sidewalks, or stalking in the alleyways. The night never looked brighter with all of these chipper faces scowling from the shadows.

You actually do see some familiar faces. There's T-Dawgg. He killed a 13 year old kid, but a knife wound landed him on your table. He must've broke out with the last wave of escapees. And there's Julian. Heroin and assault. Oh and of course Rich "Rape and Slice" Ramon. Good to see them all.

You spend so much time reminiscing about the good old times, that you bump into a large something. Man. Large man. You look up to see an unfamiliar chest, emblazoned with what looks like the colors of T-Dawgg's gang. Then you look up a little farther and see one of those classic, give-me-all-you've-got looks. He says, "Give me all your money, and I'll only beat you."

Right again. You're on fire tonight. Now what do you do?
>Give him the money in exchange for a beating. Capitalism at its finest. Though limping may make you late for work.
>Run. He's big. He must be slow, too. (Roll)
>Try to talk your way out of this(Write-in + Roll)
>You're no pansy! Take him down a peg!

>>1128496
>>Try to talk your way out of this(Write-in + Roll)
"But that guy over there has my money."

>>Try to talk your way out of this(Write-in + Roll)
You realize you're holding up a doctor, one who patches up people pro-bono? Listen i'm only a fucking resident, I ain't got no money, and word gets out you and yours start beating on or worse killing hospital people? Well people die in hospitals all the time, and we watch out for our own man.

>Try to talk your way out of this

Well of course you do what you always do when you're about to be mugged. You play the doctor card. "You realize *hic* you're holding up a doctor, one who patchess up people pro...pro-bono?" The people in the alley start to stir at your passionate, if drunken speech. "Listen i'm only a fucking resident, I ain't got no money, and word gets out you and yours start *hic* beating on or worse killing hospital people? Well people die in hospitals all the time, and we watch out for our own man." You're practically yelling now. The people in the alley are looking worried, gesturing wildly towards the two of you. "I mean seriously, you wanna' take the chance of one of you getting shot one day and ending up with one of my friends watching over you on the operating table? That's risky fucking business, my man."

That was a solid speech, and you get a cocky little grin. You look at the giant's face again for the first time since starting your little diatribe, and your face falls. Oh yeah. He's definitely pissed. The people in the alley are now approaching. Oh god. It was too much. Now I get it tenfold. I need to find a bar closer to the hospital. The angry giant reaches up with a fist only slightly smaller than your head, and your life flashes before your eyes. Med-school. Sex with that one hot girl. You're sure there was other stuff, too, but it flashes pretty quickly.

Then, suddenly, the gang tackles him down. Their feet stomping down on the big man, quickly drawing out blood and sobs from the big man. Over his shouts of "I'm sorry!" you can hear T-Dawgg. "You want to play with our lives? You want to play with our motherfucking lives? That motherfucker gave me stitches. He saved my fucking life, but you want to play? Leave him as a fucking smear." The last one, you think was directed at the rest of the gang.

"Sorry 'bout that, doc," he says, now speaking to you. "You won't get no more trouble out the Huntsmen, you hear? Tell ya boys that docs are safe on our turf." Neat. Today is looking up.

With that you walk the final few blocks to the hospital and get through main reception to the check-in. As always you see the head nurse sitting in her throne. Her "robust frame" as she likes to call it spilling off the sides. "How's it goin, sting bean?" she asks in her Texas drawl as you move up to punch your time card. Why can't they just go digital like the rest of the world?

"Just fine, Charlotte. Everything is *hic* going my way today." Now where is your punch card? It's the one with your name on it.

What was that again?

>Michael Dervent M.D.

You let out a drunken giggle. That's right. Stupid name joke. The reason you became a doctor in the first place. Besides the whole saving the innocent thing. That's mostly just a side-benefit though. Its all about the name joke. When did you come up with that anyway? It had to be later in high school, because freshman year was all about German Ventlation. That was a pre-

You hear a loud cough behind you. You check , where the noise came from and realize that there is a considerable line stacking up. Whoops. You punch your card and wave goodbye to the belle who's shaped like a bell, and are on your way.

You make your way to the doors through which all the action is. You burst through, and see your beloved chaos. Doctors and nurses scramble about the floor, moving from patient to patient. Screams of agony and sobs of despair bounce off the walls like Satan's favorite game of ping pong.

A nurse you haven't had the pleasure of meeting, but with a name tag reading Sam, and an ass reading squeeze me, gives you a run down. "Hello, doctor, nice of you to show up. Take whoever you can. There are some people in the corner with a pretty bad case of frost bite. There's a banger in that bed over there still recovering from Joker gas. A few gun shot wounds over there. And there's that really pale guy over there, seems like he's high on who knows what. Take your pick, but make it quick."

She's cute. Its almost like she still gives a fuck. You give her 2 weeks. But for now, you have a job to do. Time to protect truth, justice, and the American scheme. Now who.. to.. save...?

>The Pale Druggee on some unknown shit

You decide that you're a bit too over your limit to work on gun shot wounds without getting a lawsuit, that is if they can afford lawyers and you don't bribe the judge, the frost bite is just boring, and not even Bruce Wayne has the dough to make you go near one of those chuckle fuckers. That leaves pale guy.

As you get closer you see that he's definitely on something strong. His eyes are glazed over and he's mumbling something under his breath. His skin, which is almost the color of the walls, is covered in a sheen of sweat, causing his gown to stick closely against his body. You don't think he has a single muscle tensed, which is evidenced by the shit smell wafting your way as you approach. If it weren't for the mumbling and the subtle rise and fall of his chest you'd be able to pawn him off on the morticians.

As you grab the chart you wonder; Why the hell is this a issue that needs a doctor? You just put an IV in him, wait a few hours, and spank his ass on his way out the door. You look down at the chart, and see nothing you wouldn't expect. When the blood work gets back it'll say what you already know. Just another junkie chasing the dragon.

You turn around and gaze in wonder as to why this man is even still here, but pause at the look of Sam's smiling face. She sure is cute, but the way she's smiling is a little scary.

You feel a sudden breath at your ear, and a deep rasp cuts into your soul. "Judge not, lest ye be judged, kind sir." Your whole body goes ridged in terror as you feel a prick at the base of your neck and a rush as something flows into you.

Oh no. Oh no no no. Junkie needle. Junkie needle. You've got AIDS. You're about to be addicted to heroin. Oh fuck. Oh fuck. What do you do?

>Call for help
>Try to get the needle out

You're panicking. You're really panicking. You need to get this needle out. You take a few steps forward and try to get it out of you, but your clumsy, drunken attempts only push the stopper down further, releasing another surge of the drug into your blood stream.

Well that wasn't as... whoa. This is the rush. Wait no. No. No. No. You're not sure if its the extra dosage of drug or the panic, but your throat begins closing up. You've got to get help. You have to shout. You need to let somebody know. You can't. Your voice is stuck in a minuscule whisper. Wait! There's Sam! She still sees you! But.. why is she still smiling?

Your body feels extra fuzzuzzy. Woop wop zip. That floor looks cozy. Maybe you should take a nap. Someone will see you eventually. But as you fall, by a stroke of luck, your head strikes the bed, giving a loud metallic thud on the way down. You see one of thedoctors look your way and a look of terror strikes her face. She rushes over and pulls you up off the ground.

"Get the syringe out, puhleeeeeeeeese." you whimper out, head ringing from the trip, and the hit.

Oh, its Candace. You like Candace. You start petting Candace's hair. The auburn hair feels like the smoothest silk you've ever felt. She's always so nice. "You're fucking drunk again?! I can't believe you! I stick my neck out for you again and again, but do you ever learn your lesson?" She lays you down on your back, on a soft bed, while she continues chastising you. Its really soft, but something isn't quite right. But what is it? You look out past Candace, who hasn't realized that you aren't listening, and see Sam.

You don't understand it, but she's still smiling. She's smiling even larger than she should be able to smile. Her mouth is rushing past her cheeks. The corners begin circling into her eyes, and you feel as if you should scream, but can't find the motivation to do so. Her smile grows until her head is one large circular mouth, and you realize what was weird. Even as you drift off into a comfortable sleep, you are terrified by the realization. You're laying on a really soft bed, but beneath you should be a pale, gaunt-looking man. Just as your eyes are nearly shut, the monster that was once the cute orderly with a nice butt disappears without a trace.

>That's it for tonight. I should be running again, in this thread, sometime tomorrow. I'll be around for a bit to answer any questions you might have.

“We’re going to get arrested, and they’ll kick us out of school, Dipshit,” she continued to nag.

“C’mon! Don’t be a baby. Do you see all of that ivy on the walls? Nobody’s been in there for years,” you fired back, gesturing at the object of your desire. Jerry and Amie were just sitting back to enjoy the show; Jerry wearing the smirk he usually gets when the two of you start fighting, Amie seeming to just hope she wasn’t dragged into it. You’d been standing there for somewhere around 5 minutes arguing with her on whether to go into this decrepit cement building. Candace and Amie had decided to rope all of you into a camping trip, and you’d be damned if you were going to let Candace “Never Do Anything Fun Unless It Was Planned Three Weeks in Advance” Caine deny you the first bit of adventure you’d found out here in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere outside of Metropolis.

“So you’re the expert on strange military-looking ass buildings in the middle of the woods, now? And if there isn’t anyone in there, they would’ve taken their stuff with them. So really there’s no reason to go in there at all!” Could she be any more obvious? You look to Jerry, exasperated, looking for some help.

“She does have a point, M,” Jerry pipes in, proving that he is totally Candy’s bitch.

“Whatever. Since you and Candy want to be chicken-shits, you keep watch while Amie and I,” Amie squeaks at the mention of her name, “explore all of the crazy, sexy, awesome secrets that this ‘ADNUS’ has.” You grab the hand of the geologist-to-be and storm off into the front entrance of the building.

You float, weightless, in an ethereal plane. Your mind unencumbered by the weight of your body. Your consciousness unencumbered by the weight of your mind. There is no deception. There is no façade of who you’d like to be. This is Your Truest Self.

Before you are two obelisks constructed seemingly of pure light. It is blinding, but you stare into them, unflinchingly.

The moment a thought crosses your mind the obelisk which posed the question flashes in a brilliant silver light, which causes you to turn away for the first time. When your eyes return to the statue it has been enveloped in a chrome casing; Reflecting and magnifying the brilliance of its partner.

And of the partner; It stands untouched by the metallic sheen. Still pure. From its base you feel the same urging from before. Calling out to you. Demanding an answer.

>You are Arrogant

It happens once again. The moment a thought even begins to form in your mind the pillar reacts. This time it doesn’t explode in a bathing, metallic light, but slowly begins to grow in a purple pulsation. It starts at the base and begins to slowly eke its way to the top of the pillar, growing higher with each pulse. The right obelisk is soon filled entirely with the deep purple light, reflecting off of its metallic brother.

The two pillars: One a beautiful chrome, one a majestic purple. They both begin pulsing in unison, bathing you in strange visions and ideas. There’s you, creating unbelievable contraptions at an incredible pace, controlling objects with only your mind. There’s you, directing an army of unfathomable creatures. There’s you, bending the wills of others into your own. There’s you, creating massive explosions, both beautiful and destructive.

The Obelisks pulse together. Which are you?

Your eyes fire open like a shotgun blast. A horrible decision as your head is immediately set upon by a searing pain. Hangover. The room was too bright. You try again, more gently this time, and see that you're in the resident's room. The sound of snoring comes from the bunk above, and its the type you recognize. Candace. She must've stayed after her shift to look after you. She's really over-bearing sometimes. It was just a little drunkenness. You reach up to scratch at the back of your head and stop at the feel of a white cloth wrapped around your head.

That's right. You fell, but why? You weren't that drunk, were you? There was something else that's nagging at the back of your mind, but you can't quite remember anything from last night between Spivey's and waking up. Oh well. Too much migraine to care. It was probably just one of those fantastical urine puddles that you love so much.

Anyways, what should you do now?

There's no rest for the wicked, You rise to your feet, sending your mind through a level of nausea that you didn't know existed. This is definitely one of your better hangovers. Luckily your stomach is able to hold onto its contents long enough to turn around to see your noble hero.

Her hair was splayed out around her head in a wild, red starburst. She was laid out above the blankets, still wearing her scrubs. Her nose bobbles up and down a few times in an attempt to make her seem downright adorable. So of course you decide to flick said nose.

She springs to life in an instant, throwing a straight right which connects to your temple, sending a whole new level of pain exploding through your skull. Her face stiffens in shock. "Oh gosh! I'm so sorry!" Her expression then shifts to an emotion that you can place somewhere near the realm of rage. "No, I'm not sorry! You idiot!"

You decide to just ignore the cutting pain from her jabs, and her volume and cut her off before anymore damage can be done. First appeal to her ego. "Thanks for carting me over here." Next, her find out just how bad I was. "But what the hell happened?" You did good, Mike. You did good.

Uh-oh. That's her seething look. Abort. Abort. "What happened?! Are you serious? You walk onto the floor, start talking to yourself, then go hit your head on one of the beds, and I'm immediately thinking 'oh boy, here we go again'. But then, and I can not believe that you can be this fucking god damn stupid, they run your blood and there's fucking heroin in you? Are you serious? The alcohol was bad enough. they won't even admit you to a hospital in Metropolis anymore, but now fucking heroin! Are you a fucking moron? What the hell were you thinking?" Your brain is erupting from the passion that was just spiked through your sensitive ears, but you can tell she's close to tears. Did... did you do heroin last night? What the fuck?

How do you respond?

Oh no, no, no. She won't get you for something you've never done. "I've never touched heroin, and you know that I never wo-"

"So the results are just wrong? You're just a perfect fucking saint, then? Is that it?" You've had enough of this shit.

[ CRAFTY ] You pull up your sleeves and show her your arms, before holding out your fingernails for inspection. "I've never done any fucking heroin. So go tell somebody in the blood labs that they better pay closer attention to my shit next time." She looks closely, and her eyes widen a little bit. Then she gets a healthy dose of skepticism and checks around your body for any holes. Behind the knees, toe nails, armpits. All clear.

"Hmm..."

"Fucking told you. Now if I wasn't drunk last night I would go down there and tell them to suck it, but I don't really have much moral high ground here." She just gives a little harrumph and walks away. She never could take losing very well, but you know she wouldn't leave you if she wasn't satisfied. She's probably going to bitch at someone in the lab instead.

You feel some sweat trickling down your neck and reach up to wipe it off. You must've really gotten worked u- Well that's blood. Your head wound must've reopened.

Lets be honest, once you start getting stronger with heat generation you can just start fires. Maybe not control them but you know. Problems for later.

Also suddenly superheating something can cause explosions. We could turn rocks into frag grenades. And gasses are prone to exploding all the goddamn time.

Hello my name is Thermite

Also since we have heat manipulation here's an thing on it. http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Heat_Manipulation

>>1135875
Most of it is multiple words or a name. Or just something really long and specific that no one would ever guess if you didn't have the full word. Which is no fun. And just throwing words into each other usually just winds up being "generic word" + "noun" or another generic word.

Mixing in things like "Annealing" doesn't really mesh well.

Basically trying to be witty is a bitch when trying to avoid something good but generic. Like Heatwave. It's good, but it's pretty clear at a glance what he's all about.

>>1135914
Its all good. You technically don't even have a power yet, so there's still time to pick a name.

All I have to contribute in the way of names is Firestrike.

so can we eventually get bombs that do weird shit? they heal when they explode or as a combination between heat and bombs it sets off a localised blizzard?

I've been pulling stuff out of my ass, and its been fine so far, but I want to put a little more thought into the behind the scenes, and where I want to take the quest before I proceed any further.

I just didn't have any plan, and while I have an idea of what I want to do now, I want to understand the way in which the world I've cooked up works before I continue. This quest will continue, but it will take a bit longer than I originally advertised. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.
