[x] You have this awesome weapon
-[x] A shifting orb of light, changing forms as you will it. A sword one moment, a bow the next...
[x] Go talk to her.
 
So, yeah. Way to tie it up. Since it's a three way tie I wont just mash the options together, since if I make you too powerful at the beginning, how can we SHONEN UPGRADE?! Guess I wont be updating this morning then. I'll check back later to see if we have some tie-breaking/vote-changing.
 
I'll change my vote to gauntlets and boots.

Anyway, VOTES LOCKED.

Gauntlets & Boots win, as well as just going and talking to her like a normal person. Laaame. :p I'll fill you with buyer's remorse now and tell you what the other powers entail.

Magic-Would have started small, with a spell to suddenly have constant, IC audible background music (which could key you into PLOT. Komm Susser Todd starts playing? You maaay be making a mistake ;)), and evolving over time to letting you pretty much warp reality as long as it was full of PRESENTATION and COOL.

You have this awesome weapon
-An Iron Ogre's Club, or in other words a Kanabo, the traditional weapons of Oni. Which is what you would have been, an Oni with an Iron Club, an idiom meaning "strong beyond strong." This was actually my favorite option. Good job LordPanther14, have a like!

Mind Reading- I had no idea where to go with this, I just wanted four options. Thanks for not picking it! :oops:

You can "posses" objects-You would have discovered that "objects" does, in fact, include Mecha, and not just theme park giant balloon duck mascots!

I'll get to writing after dinner, I expect it to be up between 10:00-11:00pm EST. Unless I write really fast or am not distracted or something.
 
Ugh, apparently being ill also makes it harder to write. Is there anything it doesn't ruin? :mad: So, this ended up a lot shorter than I wanted it to be.

[] Go talk to her.

"Hey, wait!" You call after her, but she doesn't seem to hear you. If you didn't know better, you'd say she even started walking faster. You start walking after her, but are having trouble catching up. You consider running for a moment before dismissing it. Running isn't cool. Fortunately you can walk through people and walls. After a few minutes you find that you're barely making any headway. How is this girl staying ahead of you. But you don't lose your cool, you just activate your powers. You let a wave of your will pass over your body, and feel it concentrate in your hands and feet. Your hands are now covered in golden gauntlets, with enameled black accents tracing each armour segment. Your boots have grown knee-high and gained faintly glowing purple accents. You smirk. Yeah, you're cool.

You concentrate for a moment, and your boots begin shining brightly. With a great leap, you find yourself flying high in the air. Ah, you love this feeling. All too soon you find yourself falling through the roof of a house. Whoops! You step quickly through the wall and into the street, finding yourself right in front of the girl surprising her. You totally meant to do that.

"H-How did you do that? You just walked through a wall!" The girl says, blatantly pointing at you.

"Well, how did you see me? More importantly, how did you touch me? You feel up ghosts or something?"

"What? I didn't fee-wait. You're saying you're a ghost? " she asks.

"Well, I died and then I could walk through walls and stuff, so yeah. Ghost," you say while waving your hand back through the house's wall for dramatic effect.

"If you're a ghost, then why did you bump into me?" she asks. Hmph. She bumped into you. It's not like you weren't looking where you were going or anything. Your trying to think of a witty response when-

"Excuse me, but you're coming with us." a gruff voice says from the side. You look over to see about a dozen guys wearing suits standing in a rough semi-circle around the two of you. When did they get here?

What are you going to do?

[] Talk them down
[] Fight!
-[]Have a plan?
[] Just Jump Away!
[] Write-in.
 
Any group of men so uniformly dressed are obviously foul villains!

[x] Fight!
-[x] By knocking them down until they stop getting up!

I would vote for trying to talk first but they probably can't see us anyway so...

I like this plan. It has enough contingencies to make me not worry.
 
Pretty clear consensus. VOTES LOCKED.

Internal thoughts acquired. Yoink!

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hope I don't disappoint too much.

You eye the men warily, noting how the suits they wore were like a uniform, with only small bits of jewelry varying between them. Most wore tie-pins, a few wore rings, and one had a gaudy gold necklace that totally clashed with the rest of his appearance. If movies and TV had taught you anything, it was that any group of uniformly dressed men cornering girls on the street were clearly villains. Fortunately, you already had your gauntlets and boots out. You use the time you'd normally use to activate your powers to switch your music player to some appropriate music. Sure, you wouldn't be able to hear much, but you weren't going to be talking to these guys. Heck, they probably didn't even know you were here.

You smile. This is going to be fun. You've never been in a fight before, but who didn't dream of beating up bad guys? You see one of the men right in front of you saying something as he menacingly walks forward. Taking that as your cue, you leap forward using your boots and throw a straight punch into the man's chest. You're rewarded with a satisfyingly meaty thwack and a brilliant burst of purple light. The force of the blow throws the thug several meters backwards into a crumpled mess on the pavement.

"Yosh!" you exclaim to yourself as you did a quick victory fist pump. It wasn't like you were worried you'd pass right thought them and end up having to watch helplessly as they kidnapped that girl or anything. You turn dramatically towards the rest of the men just in time to see a fist covered in rings pass centimeters in front of your face. Rings-guy pauses awkwardly in front of you, left arm extended in front of him, having over-committed to his attack. A quick jab to his face and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. Not that you've ever seen a sack of potatoes fall over, but you had to imagine it was something like this guy falling over. Huh, you guess they could can see you after all. Better hurry it up a bit then.

A small hop and you were planting your boot into the next thug's face before he could even react. You use him as a spring-board to launch a flying kick into yet another suit. You land lightly on the pavement, glancing quickly over the four downed men around you to make sure they're not getting back up any time soon. Satisfied that they're out of the fight you turn to the remaining thugs. You frown. They've managed to position themselves between you and the girl, though they seem to be on the defensive. One of them in the back is hurriedly saying something, but there's no way for you to hear it over your music.

You're about to rush back into the fray when something stops you. A giant of a man has stepped into view under a street light. A true giant. The two men that were with him barely came up to his chest! Now, you weren't short or anything, but he had to be twice as tall as you were! He was wearing dark pants, and a leather jacket hung loosely from his shoulders, revealing his bare, well-muscled chest beneath. He was giving you a steady, appraising look, as if he was judging you. He glanced to the men at your feet before he seemed to come to a decision. He nonchalantly shrugged his jacket off into the waiting arms of one of his subordinates. He turned to his other subordinate who was holding a long pole wrapped in cloth, revealing his full back tattoo. Ah, so they were Yakuza. The giant was fiddling with the cloth on the pole-wait-you suddenly realize that it isn't a pole at all, it's a katana! He slowly draws the sword, revealing it's full length. No, not a katana. It was much to long to be a katana. Calling it a katana would induce performance anxiety in katanas everywhere! It was even longer than the nodachi you had seen in the museum. If anything, it was a true horse executing sword.

Eheheheh, maybe you should rethink things? It isn't like you are intimidated or anything. Sure, he is twice as tall as you, probably weighed more than four of you put together, and had a sword that could probably cut a horse in half, but you weren't scared. You wanted to rethink things because this guy seemed pretty cool. Not that he was that cool! You were obviously cooler, but it was a different kind of cool. Yeah. And regardless, he was a boss character, so you probably should have some sort of plan.



[] Maybe you should try talking? After all, if these guys can see you, they probably can talk to you, right? It's not that you're scared, it's just you didn't realize it was an option before...
-[] What do you say?
[] The time for talking has passed!
-[] Plan?
[] Scary! Swords are Scary! Run away!
 
[] The time for talking has passed!
-[] It's not like we have a real body any more, so vital organs aren't really a thing to worry about!
--[] Let him stab you in the chest. Then, once the sword is firmly stuck inside you, pummel his face until he either drops the sword or passes out!

That is not appropriate music for the first group of mooks we end up fighting. Too epic.

Yeah... I think that's a dangerous assumption.
