"Okay okay...I am sorry. I just got some weird superpowers. I just...Someone died tonight and thats important..." Joseph sighed and pushed the glass stuff back inside. "...Anyone got a cosplay kit? Sewing material? I need to fix this slashed pillow." He holds up the pillow.

"I'll look for something to clean this up." She said, turning to the kitchen, "My friend is a madman." she added under her breath as she gathered her composure.

"M'kay." Issoa said. "Don't worry about the cushion, just throw it in the trash. And I'll go make us something to drink, in the kitchen, right over here." He told them and headed over to the kitchen while trying to regain his composure.

When they got back Joseph was on his phone. "Pillar... a structure designed... no... a Pillar of strength... no... Theweddingrp.boards... NOTHING ON HERE ABOUT PILLARS!" Joseph says angrily.

Issoa brought them each some hot cocoa. "I was thinking about getting a new surf board." He said out loudly. "Not sure what kind of design I want yet though. I mean, I have two with dragons on them, should I go for a third or try something new?"

Rachael had grabbed a broom and the trash can and started cleaning. She was at a loss for words but tried to respond all the same, "Umm... Dragons from different cultures?"

ooc: I'm not sure what kind of reaction you want from our characters, hence Issoa trying to change the subject. The whole green thing is directly related to the murder they saw so obviously they're going to want nothing to do with it and try to avoid it. (Either that or take Joseph to the nearest hospital to get the thing removed as fast as possible, but sure that's not what you're looking for.) If it was something that happened that was completely unrelated then Issoa wouldn't try to forget it as quickly. I don't know how this story is suppose to go, but I always imagined the trio being dropped in a different world and having yo deal with it. Hard to ignore something that you have to deal with.

OOC: I can't help but think back to "The Chronicler", a movie that came out a few years ago. Three guys go and explore some hole in the ground. Something happens that they don't understand and they gain some kind of telepathy. They play around with it and get more powerful and then things start to come to a head. There's also your super hero's like Spiderman, Flash, and Batman. Death was a part of all three of these hero's but the nature of how they got their powers and the role death played was different. With spiderman and the flash, they got their powers suddenly in a lab related incident. They then spent some time realizing these new things they could do. Things beyond their control in the moment that they had to come to control. And with the Flash and Batman, death happened before they got their powers and shaped their character while with spiderman, death happened after the fact, but likewise shaped their character. I think a better way to do this would have been to have the original man on the bus, the good guy, give us our powers without our say in it and we spend a couple days realizing and discovering. We go to the man for answers but before we can learn the truth, he get's killed. His last words would need to be powerful because they would shape our characters perspective. The key in all four of these examples I've given is that the characters perspective is changed and expanded by an experience, but there's almost a sense of wonder or maybe dread and confusion. It's not till later that the heat get's turned up and there's a call to action.
Moving forward, I think you would benefit from reading or watching something on "The Hero's Journey" which is the subconscious template almost all good myths and stories are based off of. The first stage is the call to action. You take characters that exist in the world they know and give them a call to action that will take them into the unknown. From there, the character will either accept or deny the call to action. In our case, you accepted it while our characters are denying it. Then there's the supernatural aid, which gives us the ability to meet future challenges. For your character, that's his powers, but because our characters denied the call to action, there's got to be a "meeting a mentor" that will give us the desire and skill to move forward. Then we'll all be at the "crossing the threshold" stage of the journey where we accept our fate and cross into the unknown willingly. Watch these videos to get a better idea of it:

OOC: EUREKA!
Joseph borderline went into a rage. "THIS...THIS..." He sighed, deflating from his anger. "I dunno...why not make up a dragon? Something original?" He says giving up. The doorbell rang. He opened it up. "Pizza." Said the Pizza guy. "HEY GUYS! PIZZA!!!" He said at the top of his lungs.

Issoa walked over to the door and paid for the pizza with thank you nod towards the delivery guy. "You mean like my own dragon?" He asked. "That could be cool. But how am I going to do that? I can't draw a normal dragon, never mind one I make up myself. And it has to be awesome and cute."

As the shakes stopped... suddenly it was daytime. Joseph looked at his friends. "So uh... um..." He opens the door impulsively and looks out. He closes suddenly. "So uh..." Outside was a vast forest that sprung up out of nowhere. Rocks and rivers intersperced around. "Guys we aint in Kansas anymore."

Rachael slowly turned her gaze to Joseph, "What do you mean?" She said with a small smile and a lot of worry with equal amounts of disbelief.

He stepped outside and poked one of the trees. "Uh...I mean there was something in the pizza and we are tripping hard." He looked in the sky. "Hey wait a sec...doesnt the sun raise in the east? It was dark a minute ago and now its sunny!"

Issoa inched closer to the door to see outside. "I always thought being high was suppose to make you worry less." He said anxiously.

"IT IS!!! WE ARENT HIGH!!!" Joseph ran out frantically as the neighbors began filling out of their homes trying to call loved ones and complaining about lack of signal. "OH MY GOSH!" He ran up to his friends. "That weirdo homeless guy did something! Or it was the killer...this has to be, I mean, come on! Get your stuff! We gotta check this out!" Without saying another word he ran out into the streets.

ooc: Maybe spend a little more time setting the scene. You said there was a forest with rivers and stuff in one post, but I didn't know that the streets and other houses were there until your last post. Would help us react more appropriately. Issoa looked at Rachael. "What stuff should we get?" He asked, trying to concentrate on something that he could still wrap his mind around.

"uh..." Rach hummed to herself as she patted her pockets, "phone, wallet, small knife." She said, realizing that of the three she only had the phone and wallet which were in her purse so she grabbed that. She ran to a window and looked outside.

ooc: It's very good. Probably the best reboot since Friendship is Magic, and depending on how season 3 goes I'd say it may be better than FiM just because of the consistency. So far each season had a core adventure it focused on with a grand finale and mindblowing reveal for setting up the next season. There may be an episode here or there that irks me, but nothing so bad that detracts from the full experience. Like how they handled Donald and Darkwing in the last episode I watched. Yeah, that's right, there's a little bit of Darkwing Duck in this. And even though it's not the Darkwing from old, yet, I'm hoping they get to there since I always liked Darkwing a lot more than Ducktales. Besides Darkwing they've also referenced Talespin and Gummi Bears in the show. The characters are just so likable and each one is fleshed out pretty well. And if it's the animation that's putting you off, don't even worry about it since it flows so naturally and is such a great fit that you'll get used to it in no time. Well, shilling done, let's get back to the rp. "Right, right!" Issoa said feeling his pockets. "Phone, wallet..." He wasn't sure about taking a knife from the kitchen, so instead headed to the hallway closet and took out one of his father's old golf clubs. He weighed it in his hand before nodding and turned towards the front door. He moved close enough to look outside and see which way Joseph went.

They chased after Joseph for a while but he had went some other direction. After about an hour they hit the shopping areas and it was discord. The streets were in chaos with police trying to maintain control. The sounds of panic and people arguing and worrying filled the air as people were corraled and guided to the civic center. As they did Joseph called out to them from behind. Running and pushing through the crowd he managed to get to them sweating and in a panic. "We aint in Kansas anymore. I managed to get to a hill and saw... well, downtown is a mess. Its dense with trees and DEER! Wildlife basically moved into the town. Like a big shift. I go camping a fair bit and frankly the landscape has changed too. Said hill I mentioned wasnt in that spot. Its like someone copy pasted the town onto another location. I did manage to get home to my stuff." He patted his bag. "My brass knuckles, I dont care if they are illegal, my camping kit sans the sleeping bag and tent and some first aid stuff...look I think you guys need to find your folks and we get out of town. I got a real bad feeling about this."
