  1. “What the? Exotic matter?” Nick dashes to grab one of the xenosuits he’d made, tossing it onto the Magmarak. “SIMON - drain and contain as much of the saliva as possible. I’ll put on the xenosuits here, so we can absorb them; I’ll leave one to see if it comes with us.” He begins to do so, layering the suits so that the resources can be consolidated. “We can do other experiments with the teleportation later; I don’t want to risk setting it off early. And we should do something about the people there.” “We could leave your glasses with them. I could explain things, then help their culture with the tech you’ve brought.” “But then where would you be?” “I made a copy of myself. It’s, well… it’s in your head. I had a lot of extra space, and I was worried that the glasses would be destroyed, and you need me to keep your body together, so…” “We’ll talk later. Right now we’ve got a time limit. I can take the hood off for short periods now, right?” Nick goes over to the strange gray people, and ceremoniously sets the last xenosuit and his glasses on the ground. Then, he goes over to the likely dead Magmarak, connecting his suit to the one draining it so all the strange heat substance doesn’t get left behind. He waits, biding his time till he disappears.
  2. "Huh. Where is the copy from, anyway?" Veer bounces the ball away from his face with his powers, trying to set the corn on your side on fire.
  3. I do! Scouting is kinda OP here. I concur - or we could have our characters know each other from the shard.
  4. Assuming Gemini sent them over, Veer once again faults on purpose, then sends the balls back for Gemini's serve.
  5. Veer watches the two hit the balls back and forth. The corn plants are almost a thicket now; it feels like they would be difficult to move through quickly.
  6. Tuesday should be as good as any other day. Cross country apparently takes up a frightening amount of your free time.
  7. Milk is one syllable. That would have been a good hint. Mistcloak!
  8. It goes through parts of the suit (which is actually flammable) and begins to burn Nick’s skin. He chuckles, feeling no pain, as the skin knits together again. “Kill me once, shame on me. Kill me twice, shame on you. Or something like that.” SIMON begins to analyze the saliva, trying to find a way to contain and/or reproduce it.
  9. Nick feels a pang of sadness; killing random animals for their natural behaviors seems pointless. But he keeps ducking and dodging until suddenly, he trips.
  10. Veer uses his powers to hit the ball back, which apparently doesn't cause a kernel shower. Then, he walks over and picks a corn ball from the plants growing on his side, putting it into play as well.
  11. “How should I know? I’d say it doesn’t, though.”
  12. Wait… cheese?
  13. “Corrosive biochemicals… why would it even need that? Do the people over there also have fire blood?” Nick grumbles to himself about over-optimization and Komodo dragons as he continues to dance backwards and swing his sword, drawing the Magmarak away from the civilians. Well, he tries to dance away, anyway. It’s closer to a perpetual stumble, as Nick tries to get used to the slightly faster movement of his new body.
  14. Veer shrugs. “I wasn’t the one who chose it. You can pick a different one if you want.”
  15. As the creature charges, Nick jumps into the air, the rebuilt wings firing, fueled by the little hydrogen he had. Landing on its back, he pulls out the lightsaber and tries to cut through the fur.
  16. The ball, looking like a spherical corn cob, drops corn kernels that grow into plants as Gemini watches. Spherical corn husks begin to sprout from them, leaving Gemini with around a dozen corn balls. Veer redirects the two balls into each other, creating corn plants on his side as well. The two balls then turn and fly over the net again.
  17. Veer spits it out, but is left with painful cuts on his mouth. “Alright.” he says, talking strangely due to the cuts. “Let’s up the difficulty a bit.” He motions to a random bystander to toss a second ball in. “Is that good with you?” Then, he serves the spike ball, aiming away from Gemini.
  18. “You have revival magic and use it for this? What sane person would… oh, right.” Veer ‘hits’ the ball back.
  19. Picking it up by a spike, Veer throws it into the air. It’s still not going especially fast, but it’s still a decent rate as it crosses the net. “How are you planning to survive your death, anyway? It’s not like you’re a dragon or something.”
  20. “What the? How?” Nick runs forward, moving much faster than he could have before his transformation, and tries to distract the sound in the gate. His armor is ready to protect against cutting and bludgeoning, but the heat of the lava may burn through it. A spiked pickleball drops from the sky near him, and he hurls it at the creature, but it disappears before it connects.
  21. “Smart…” Veer sends the ball back, trying to hit the hand with the paddle.
