Ilia thinks for a bit. Her eyes flick briefly upward, and she makes her decision. Her mouth opens and nevermind it closes again. Her thoughts race a bit in Whispers' mind. (I really shouldn't... but I mean... I am hanging out with a criminal already, this doesn't really matter. Screw it.)
She leans over to Whispers and speaks again.
(mobile so no spoiler/text color)
"Let's head over to some cheap, crappy club and have the time of our lives! As for what I'm gonna wear, I dunno, whatever I find in my closet that looks presentable."

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Whispers has a little smile on while she watches Ilia make several decisions before actually picking one. She looks over at Creature and holds his gaze for a moment (she's not reading minds, that ended when Spy rolled a save *shakes fist*). She nods to Ilia, "Alright, cool." then looks to Spy, "She's lying. She was planning on springing those Velias people from jail."
(That roll happened in priv message but the results played out here when Spy realized Whispers was reading her mind. the effect ends. Probably should have mentioned it heh)

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow" "No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Spy's panic immediately subsides. Knowing that the beans are spilled, she sees this moment for what it is; fight or flee. Her emotions return to a sort of calm, though thoroughly adrenaline-fueled center. When Creature turns toward her, taking out the cuffs, her eyes narrow at whispers, before she turns back toward Creature."You with the police then, or just carry those cuffs for hero work? If those aren't some kind of newfangled size-changing cuffs, you'll have trouble keeping a shapeshifter contained, wont you?"
Whispers gives Spy a shrug, "What? I wanted to see what would happen." she seems entirely relaxed where she is, "You don't have to go all cop on her." directed toward Creature, "Maybe she'll decide to change her ways." said with just a hint of amusement.

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow" "No power in the 'verse can stop me"
At Spy's words, Creature stops and looks at the cuffs in his hand. He seems to regard them for a few heartbeats, then looks at Whispers as she makes her sarcastic comments. Creature then holds the cuffs up in one hand and looks at Spy again. "Come quietly, and the hand off will be smooth. Resist or try to escape, and we'll be forced to react with ... well, with force." He then moves around behind Spy in order to cuff her.
Spy surrenders her arms behind her back. (( No, this could work out. If I can - no. Don't think about an escape plan. Don't think about an escape plan. Don't think about... ))She lets out a deep and loud sigh before speaking. "I know when I'm outgunned. Trying to bullshit you again wouldn't work well either, since you apparently have a mind reader with you. That's an impressive ability."

Whispers smiles at the complement, "Thanks." then she gets up, "So you're just going to walk her into the station like that? The other cops don't know this side of you do they?"

Creature turns to look at Whispers, blinking slowly at her use of the word "other". "The department and I have a ... they're tolerant of me," he says finally. "Since Spy is wanted, they shouldn't complain when I show up with her."
Okay moving on. Starting today, I will be moving the thread along if 24 hours pass since last post.
Creature hauls Spy off to jail while the rest of the heroes stand and watch. Spy is locked up in a standard prison cell since the police deduced that her powers won't allow her to pass through bars.
It is now day time and sure enough, the series of bank robbing that was done by Spy has stopped since her arrest. A few months have passed since the incident with Golden Drill. Emblem continues to help repair the city and stop criminals. He managed to recruit Clover and DDoS, two more heroes to help him with his heroics. These two follow him around more often than not and are basically like his side-kicks. Clover was a high tier Villain that had that had the ability to control nearby plants completely. An accident had awoken a dormant mutated gene in him and gave him his powers. His skin turned green and thorny. His head grew leaves and became like ball covered in fern and shrubs. He initially lashed out on the world with his Villainy but he has changed his ways since the Event. He did independent hero work for a bit before being recruited by Emblem. DDoS was skilled with computers and machinery and had powers that allowed him to control machines to an extent. Before the Event, the range of his Heroics were limited to his home metropolis. However, now he has expanded his range to a larger scale and teamed up with Emblem. What else is going on with the world at this time? Well...
What did your characters do in the few months between the episodes? Yes you guys powered up but mechanically what downtime activity did you engage in? You get 75 Days of mechanical downtime (doesn't reflect actual time passed.) to do whatever (Leveling not included). So what did you guys do?

(Um... Spy didn't roll a WIS save. So you should still have Detect thoughts active)

(Yeah, probably should have let me know but no issue.)
Creature turns his eyes back on Spy, then marches over with the intent of cuffing her. Does she resist?
DM: And do the others do something about this? Arcon, Whispers, Raven, Bo-Po?
Spy's panic immediately subsides. Knowing that the beans are spilled, she sees this moment for what it is; fight or flee.

OOC: DM, would they be "newfangled size-changing cuffs"?
Whispers gives Spy a shrug, "What? I wanted to see what would happen." she seems entirely relaxed where she is, "You don't have to go all cop on her." directed toward Creature, "Maybe she'll decide to change her ways." said with just a hint of amusement.

@Creature: I don't know... I'm going to say No.

Will anyone in the party say anything to Creature and Spy?
Spy surrenders her arms behind her back. (( No, this could work out. If I can - no. Don't think about an escape plan. Don't think about an escape plan. Don't think about... )) She lets out a deep and loud sigh before speaking. "I know when I'm outgunned.

(I'm kind of holding off to see if anyone else does something here)

"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Alright, I don't think anyone is going to say anything.
Creature cuffs Spy. Now what?
Whispers smiles at the complement, "Thanks." then she gets up, "So you're just going to walk her into the station like that? The other cops don't know this side of you do they?"

Everyone advance to next level.
