Getting Ready: (Turn 2/???)
Getting Ready: (Turn 2/???)

The Door was still being knocked on, and it was growing far more frantic with each passing moment. The person at the door is of average strength, but considering the continued knocking, it might damage the door. You should calm the person down, and think of what you need to do next.

You took a moment to think before everything felt strange, your voice was youthful and chattered… it was tired and depressing. Filled with remorse and regret that only those who had lost their soul had.

"Just a moment!" You said those words with such hesitation, you worried you didn't know how to speak. It was like hearing a voice that was forever mysterious. The energy that it had was more akin to that of a frantic animal, barely able to speak. It was not the words you wanted to say. Something deep in your mind wanted to scream for help.

That was because you were listening to your voice consciously. You are trying to investigate the intricacies of so much damage. You should get ready, look at yourself and be ready for whatever is to come. You are afraid and you should come to some type of sense soon. For now… do what you need to do.

You took a moment to breathe and felt energy returning to your body, as you shambled towards the bathroom.

As you entered, you then saw what was so strange.

It was a body.

Well less a body, more a sleeping person, a girl with blonde hair and pale skin. Wearing some sort of uniform that was less practical and merely showed off her growing propositions. She was young, perhaps a teenager, and you took a moment to examine her.

Clue Gained: The Traveler: The Girl you see is unconscious, but the face, and her identity, is entirely forgotten to you save for her Cape identity. The Traveler, A Superhero, with powers that... Strange, you thought you knew, but you forgot.

You checked her pulse and it was steady, strong even before you let go and felt her breath. She was breathing strongly, and her heart was beating normally. Yet something felt different about her. And her slumber. The bathtub was empty and her knees were covered with a blanket, or cape.

She is the Super Hero Traveler, you recognize, after a moment, a memory slowly surfacing. She must be the reason your feet are bloody. But something is wrong. Perhaps your hypothesis is wrong.

Instead, you pondered by changing your socks and getting into something comfortable.

[X]Place Image here (Short, clean-shaven, firey red hair in a short ponytail, emerald green eyes, lean and muscular)

...Hey, don't judge, I know a guy who keeps a ponytail. He's very much shooting for a 90s nerd look with it. He's not even the only one I've met.

[X]Answer the Door: You will see who is trying to enter this apartment. And why do they seem so scared?

Almost certainly someone scared for the Traveler. Keeping them out too long might result in them breaking down the door... or assuming we have something to hide.

You Are Who You Are: (Turn 3/???)
You Are Who You Are: (Turn 3/???)

The image that looks back at you is not your own. At least that was what you feel when you see this man staring before you. Short, clean-shaven, with fiery red hair in a short ponytail, were the features you saw, and emerald green eyes stared deeply into your own gaze. It was a gaze that was just as much confusion as it was of knowing and longing. You are not wearing the skin you thought you had. The body you had was lean and muscular, like a swimmer that had just been seen.

Something is wrong.


Something doesn't feel right. That was true, but you could only imagine so much as you quietly threw on the boots, your bloody feet feeling soft and wet inside the strange devices.

There is someone at the Door, and you need to answer it.

You walked over to the door and looked at it. If you didn't, you would just be seeing the things that would be here, trapped in this bubble of an apartment.

Yet you were not afraid as you took a moment to look at this… strange door. It was ok, but something felt off. It was an electric feeling, and you were afraid that it would shock you. Send you tumbling back into the abyss of blackness and unfamiliarity.

You open the Door.

When you saw the other figure, you almost felt your heart leap out of your chest, as you examined the angered, and scared figure that was standing there before you. It was like a foggy haze was falling over your mind again. The woman had let go of the door, not expecting you to open it. There was something else that you noticed as well.

She had electricity coming from her fingertips, and you saw the surprise on her face.

The woman is Empowered!

She was a slender woman with dyed orange hair, eyes of sapphire blue, and pale skin. Her hands were covered with many strange assortments of wraps and bandages. Many have names on them, crossed or scribbled out.

She is dangerous.

Instead, you felt no fear as you faced her. "Hello."

She examined you. "You look like shit." She stated as she saw your boots. "Why the footwear?"

Something is wrong, she knows something you don't. Stall!

You shrugged. "Bleeding. Rather not get blood everywhere."

The woman shrugged. "Suit yourself."

You recognize her, and now it is slowly coming back to you. This woman is a criminal. And she knows something is wrong.

"Everything okay?" You asked.

The woman twitched. "Now it is." She said as turned around. "Come on, the others are waiting."

"Others?" You asked.

"Christ, that kid hero must have screwed you up. The others Chris!"

You nodded.

Clue Gained: Identity: You are Chris? But that doesn't sound like you. You are Arthur Arc? Right?

Clue Gained: Empowered Woman: A Woman using Electricity is among your... buildings' inhabitants.

Do you go with her?:
[]Yes
[]No

AN: Enjoy.
 
Ooh is the kid hero who messed up Chris the girl in the bathroom? I don't particularly like the idea of following her, but there's not much else you can do right now that wouldn't tip her off that something's wrong.
[X]Yes
