Was Adamant's adamantium magnetic or conductive? Because I had a vivid mental image of him, all metalled up and covered in it, grappling with a villain and Leizi shocking them by aiming a bolt at him, passing through his metal body harmlessly and shocking the villain.

I described it as "non-ferrous" so it's not magnetic (which actually put him on the "can fight King" shortlist), but it could conduct heat and electricity.

Pffft. Boooooring.

Also, looks like the turn order will be:
1) A Face that Toils so Close to Stone is Already Stone Itself/Who Doesn't Love a Power Testing Scene?
2) Drove Through Ghosts to Get Here
3) The Dragon of the New Dawn
4) Those Left Behind
5) Madeline Bowl LVIII/You're Not My Real Dad!

Ok then, one last speculation for King's powers, taken from my favorite Youtuber:

"This guy doesn't punch you to death, he vaguely gestures at the idea of punching you, which is itself an automatic KO. He has a gun that fires bullets 5 times your size. Bullets that don't just kill you, they invalidate the entire concept of your life!"

What? If he's better than Mona, he oughta be awfully impressive :V :V :V

I don't really have a scene in mind for it, so it's going to be mentioned that it happened off screen in the personal action updates.

King and/or Scarlet Maturity seem to be in the class of so-hard-to-kill-and-skilled-with-whatever-powers-they-have that they take the Gaara approach of not even trying to actively defend against anything by attempting to move. At least from how they're discussed.
 
You know with all this talk about OP People im half expecting an Expy of Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate to be running around... wait no, Abridged Alucard. Probably someone with extremely op regeneration ability, knows it and is a Smartass about it, even when getting manhandled.

    The cursor on your screen blinks at you. Mockingly. You grit your teeth and force yourself to write something. Then you delete it. You try again only to stop midway because everything you could say feels trite.

    Leviathan's Blood, why was this even necessary?

    Oh, right. This was why.

    So it seems like Justice Unlimited isn't defunct after all? The Worker's Mitt just announced they renewed their contract with them. Did anyone in the area see any of them? Am I wrong to hope here?

    Replied On Nov 20th 2067:
    So here's what I think happened:

    Justice Unlimited is the first to respond to the QZ when the Leviathan starts moving (sidenote: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH). They hold their rookie back because she's not ready and so they have someone in the wings if they all fall.

    Everyone but Lady Leizi gets taken out. We know Lady Leizi doesn't have any defensive powers, so she probably wasn't on the front lines. She gets their rookie and starts to rebuild Justice Unlimited.

    What's the first thing any rebuilding organization needs? Money. It makes sense because, Uiara gone, I don't know if they're getting any funds from the Oliveira family anymore. I certainly doubt Jair Oliveira would want to keep funding them.

    Taking out the birds in the Worker's Mitt both accomplishes this and lets the world know that Justice Unlimited is back. It kills two birds with one stone (pun intended).

    You should have seen this coming. Of course all metahuman contracts were publicly recorded. Of course everyone would see when the Worker's Mitt renewed with Justice Unlimited. And of course it would invite all kinds of speculation.

    You need to make an official statement of some sort. Or at least say something, anything! But you just can't. This was never your forte. You always used to pawn this kind of duty off on Yazmin or Harper or, in a pinch, Rakeem. You hated being in the public eye on anything but your own terms.

    Which was probably why no one was willing to trust you now. You sigh. This is the bed you've made, now you must lie in it, you suppose.

    To give yourself a break, you turn your attention to Dr. Ibis' notes on Handyman's recent power testing.

    Power-Testing of Codename "Handyman"—Notes of Dr. Mammoth Ibis—Log #7:

    Handyman saw a substantial increase to his combat potential today, simply by overcoming a mental block. He was too used to thinking of himself as "human-shaped" with two legs and two arms connected to a torso. His body is capable of infinitely more complex configurations. We started slowly by having him grow an extra set of arms and try those in combat. He quickly proved adept, so we tried more and more radical shapes. By the end of testing, it was comfortable assuming a number of non-human forms in combat and freely moving between them, as well as moving in a number of "unnatural" ways including rotation 360 degrees at the torso.

    Truly, it was a sign to behold seeing Black Swan running away from an eight-legged horse with wings, crab claws, and a bone-bastilla growing out of its back. Perhaps not the most efficient shape, but definitely inspiring.

    Power-Testing of Codename "Handyman"—Notes of Dr. Mammoth Ibis—Log #14

    Testing the limits of Handyman's regeneration took up the better part of the day, but it's fortunate we went through the steps we did. Notably, we discovered a significant weakness in Handyman's regeneration—he must regenerate his body as "clay" before then changing it to another form. Put differently, he can't heal and transform his body at the same time.

    With that said, his regeneration is impressive. He's able to absorb small arms fire without much effort, and large explosives can scatter his body but not destroy it. Blunt force trauma is wholly ineffective in his malleable state, as are piercing weapons. Black Swan's "finger-gun" attacks were similarly ineffective, though when she"put a whole arm into it" Handyman's body began to dissolve. He should be especially wary of powerful energy attacks.

    Power-Testing of Codename "Handyman"—Notes of Dr. Mammoth Ibis—Log #15

    Who was going to tell me that we hired Natalie Rhodes and not Natasha?! Now I will have to apologize to both of them when I see them! I tried apologizing to John Henry over the mix up, but he didn't respond. Is my new BFF mad at me?! Is this our first fight?!

    * * *​

    You feel the uncouth urge to being bang your head against the table. How . . . how has no one told Dr. Ibis yet? How could he possibly not know?

    You suppose there hasn't been time for a memorial. You think of the problems surrounding you and you're not sure if there ever will be time for one.

    . . . you're stalling again. Lei Zixuan, you are more than capable of writing a post on a messageboard! You're not as pathetic socially as Dr. Ibis, are you?

    . . . are you?

    DC 6.

    Stat Check: REPUTATION 3. Lady Leizi has a REPUTATION 3.

    You rolled: 6.

    6 + 0 = 6. Success!

    You are not.

    It's not profound. It's not elegant. But it's done and you can click post and allow yourself a break. You hear laughter from the entertainment room down the hall. It seems everyone is watching that ridiculous magical maid television show.

    Everyone used to make you watch braindead television back then too, didn't they? Rakeem loved his baseball, and Nora and Rosemary would sit and watch every new season's release of anime to find the gems and laugh at the "garbage". They once literally tied you down and made you watch a show about a boy who was the very definition of "mediocre", yet all varieties of women would throw themselves at him. You finally had enough when he tripped and accidentally sexually assaulted a schoolgirl for the dozenth time. You still have the photo of Nora's hair and Rosemary's fur all standing up on edge after you electrocuted them.

    Good memories. It was a happy time. Your happiest time. You hear a booming chuckle from Rhys, a giggle from Mona, and a quiet laugh from Maddie.

    "Akira-kun, no! Monica-chan loves you! She can't transform if she thinks you hate her!"

    You smile and then get up to go join them. Perhaps these can be good times as well.

    I laughed out loud when reading this. Man, I can physically feel Lei's struggles and honestly I feel for her, weve all been there; needing to be sociable and constantly hitting the antisocial wall.

    Yep. Nora was certainly a character. Frankly, I'd think that she'd find it funny. Uiara probably wouldn't mind either.

    …. Did she know about Nora's tendency to commission porn of her?

    alrighy Now weve got another heavy hitter with rhys. Hopefully hed be able to handle being bait for the trap 4 seasons and powers are gonna try on us.

    Also looks like a bunch of new dawn split into powers now that novalight is dead. Dont know if its understandable or showing their true colors.
