Just experienced, that's all. Not any better than you are, I'm sure.

Or something.
There's only so many patterns that this stuff fits into; it's just a matter of finding the right ones

Well, you CAN. That's one option.

What else did you have in mind?

Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 4:07 am"I dunno. It's like it was when that weird bubble opened up at the cafe. You know, the time one? It's just... nothing but aggressively nothing. That make any sense?"

Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 4:20 am"Oh ha ha. But yeah, kinda like that. But it's not even like when you forget something but you still kinda know something should be there? Instead it's just nothing. Nada. Zilch. You think maybe that guy came through one of those bubbles?"

I doubt it--most of all of that went away when the bubbles poofed, right?
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 5:16 am"Yeah... I dunno. It's weird though, he sounded like he knew me so I thought maybe he was some kinda weirdo from the future."

Well, you've been making rounds at night, right? Maybe you have your first supervillain.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 5:26 am"You think so!?" she asks, sounding maybe a little too excited about that prospect. "I mean... you don't think he's blowing up places because of me, do you?"

Couldn't say. Usually he'd leave a calling card or a manifesto or a beeper or something.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 2:21 pm"Ugh..." she groans, leaning back in her chair. "Okay, well, then I'll just have to go out there again tomorrow and hope he does something stupid and then I punch his mean ol' mug." she says, punching her open palm.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 5:14 pm"Maybe I should get some kind of tracker thingie to stick on him, in case her tries to bail again."

THAT'S probably a better idea--I mean, punching is great, but villains, good ones at least, seem to get away from the punching.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 5:38 pm"Alright, where do they keep all the fancy toys?" she asks, jumping up from the chair. "This is exciting! My first proper villain!"

There's an armory around here somewhere, though I think you do need to check that stuff out, technically...
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 9:16 pm"Technically. But hypothetically, if I didn't, then would you tell on me?"

I'm sure the Ro-butt has a bunch of sensors and things around.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?

The headmistress. She's a robot.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Sat May 07, 2016 8:47 pm"What? No way. She looks nothing like a robot. She's got skin and hair and stuff!"

It's all fake. Hiding servos and whatzits and whoozits.

I actually don't know; I haven't bothered to check into that much. Pretty sure she's autonomous, though.
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
Posted: Sat May 07, 2016 11:07 pm"Huh. Wow. Is that, like, legal?" asks the masked vigilante.

Probably not!
Re: Groundwork? What's Groundwork?
